Restless Leg Syndrome, Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) and Rheumatoid Arthritis are clever names for poor circulation via anemic blood or clogged arteries both of which are caused by poor diet and cured by proper diet (includes herbs), not by the best pharmaceuticals, doctors, insurance companies, retirement plans, nursing homes, etc.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on the theory, observation that everything is an ongoing balance, interaction of opposites: hot (ynag, building, male) and cold (yin, cleansing, female, moistening).

The body builds up (anabolism, hot) and breaks down (catabolism, cold) largely according to food, nutrients, to which there are only two: building (protein and fat) and cleansing (water, sugar, minerals, etc.). Blood, nutrients build, fuel and cleanse the organs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, etc. The correct balance produces health, the incorrect, too much or too little, in the extreme, disease.

Too little protein and fat (thick nutrients) tends to thin and weaken the blood, circulation, especially to the extremities. In the extreme, thin, less blood dries, thins, inflames, weakens etc. the bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, etc. producing pain, inflammation, swelling, redness, etc.

Many women tend to eat anemic, low protein, low-fat (milk, yogurt, soft cheeses, beans, nuts and seeds) and high carbohydrate (pasta, bread, salads, tropical fruits, juices, etc.) diets, which in turn, thin, dry, inflame, weaken and pain everything else, especially the bones, muscles, tendons, etc in the arms, legs, hands, feet.

Too many cold and damp foods, drinks (milk, yogurt, salads, fruit, juices, cold drinks, etc.), in excess and or at the beginning of a meal, tend to dilute, weaken and slow digestion (acid, enzymes, abdominal bloating, gas) reducing nutrient absorption, blood, circulation, energy, while increasing waste product.

Too much protein and fat tends to thicken the blood, which in turn, thickens, clogs and weakens the liver. All blood passes in and out the liver. The liver stores, cleanses (filters, removes excess protein, fat, cholesterol, impurities, etc.) and releases the blood.

High protein and high fat (especially animal, fried) diets in excess tend to thicken the blood, which in turn, thickens, clogs, swells and weakens the liver. Less cholesterol, fat, impurities, etc. are removed, cleansed, more stays in the blood (high cholesterol, clots, uric acid), thickening, clogging, narrowing and hardening the arteries (plaque, arteriosclerosis, atherosclerosis, high blood pressure), reducing overall circulation, supply of blood and energy especially to the extremities: head, arms, legs, hands, feet, joints, bones, muscles, etc. causing swelling, pain, inflammation, etc. Less blood builds, fuels, moves, cools and moistens less. Dry tissues inflame

Many men tend to eat high protein, high fat (red meat, pork, veal, turkey, chicken, lasagna, pizza, fried foods, etc.), high starch (bread, pastries, etc.) and low vegetables, fruit and tend to suffer Peripheral Artery Disease, Restless leg Syndrome, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Gout, insomnia, acne, poor circulation, etc.

Too little protein and fat tends to thin, weaken teh blood, which in turn, thins, weakens the bones, muscles, tendons, ligaments, etc. causing swelling, pain, inflammation, numbness, etc. in the arms, legs, hands and feet. Less blood, nutrients, protein, fat builds, fuels, moves, cools and moistens less. Dry tissues inflame

Dietary cures blood deficiency (anemia) and stagnation (high cholesterol, clots, atherosclerosis, tumors, cancer) are relatively simple. The middle diet, meal plan adjusted accordingly is recommended. The following diseases have already been cured by the middle diet meal (central theme plus two variations and herbs): Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Gastro Intestinal Reflux Disorder (GIRD), miscarriage, psoriasis, eczema, acne, obesity, anal fissure, anxiety, constipation, sinusitis, impotence, common cold, post nasal drip, arthritis, neuralgia and sore lower back, back pain so far

Hot salves (containing spices, camphor, capsicum/ cayenne pepper, etc.) used externally for reducing pain are also effective, especially when skin is wrapped, covered with plastic (contains, drives heat down, into the skin, muscles). Heat not only dries and warms but also moves. Spices, cooked foods move and warm the blood, and reduce pain via increased circulation, blood. They also help to thin the blood. Cumin, coriander and fennel are mild spices.

Medication, blood thinners can also cause arthritic symptoms. Blood thinners not only thin the blood of excess protein and fat (includes cholesterol), but also thin the bones, skin, hair, etc. which are all fed, thickened by the same blood, protein and fat. When you thin the blood, decrease protein and fat, you thin everything else.

If you have Celiac disease, it is difficult for your intestines to absorb nutrients from the food that you eat. This is because, the villi that line up the walls of your intestines and are responsible in the absorption of nutrients from the food we eat are damaged and may not be able to function well. With this, you need to have a Celiac disease diets that does not contain the protein, gluten.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye and those suffering from Celia disease cannot tolerate this in their digestive system. Gluten can damage the hair-like structures that absorb the nutrients in the body and thus should be avoided. Once these structures in the intestines are damaged, it will lead you to become malnourished – even how much food you will take.

If you are looking for Celiac disease diets that you can have to avoid harming your intestines, watch out for foods that contain wheat, barley and rye as they contain the protein, gluten. Watch out also for products that may contain them as ingredients and for other foods that may seem to be safe but have gluten ‘hidden’ on them.

Among the foods that you can avoid are cakes, breads, cookies, biscuits, pasta, pizza, some breakfast cereals, pancakes, barley water and other malted drinks. Although there are quite a lot of restricted food if you have Celiac disease, you can still be able to get nutritious and healthy food if you plan your meals right.

Celiac disease diets are gluten-free diets and it can be a big switch for many, but even if there are lots of foods that you have to watch out for and avoid in your diet, you can still find healthy and nutritious foods for your diet. Although eating in restaurants or buying your food can be a challenge in itself because you will be on the search of gluten-free foods and products, and that would also mean avoiding some foods that you used to enjoy.

Among the foods and food ingredients that you can still enjoy however includes, fish, meat and poultry, vegetables, fruits, eggs, cheese, rice and rice flour, sugar, cider vinegar, honey, jelly, fruit juice, tea, wine and gluten-free beer. You may want to check out processed products though as many may contain main ingredients that may seem to be free from gluten but may involve gluten in the preparation.

Sausages for example that are said to be free from gluten may have the substance in their binders. Luncheon meat may also have gluten in the fillers. Indeed, it can be a challenge on spotting which really is safe for your diet. To help you with this, you can visit a dietician or a nutritionist and keep updated of some websites that offer support for people with the disease so you will know where and what to buy important foods for your diet.

Keep in mind too that gluten can also be found in cosmetics such as lipsticks, and in vitamins and supplements, so you may want to watch out for that too.

If you have celiac disease, or that disease of the digestive system which hampers the absorption of the nutrients from the food you eat, you might want to find ways on how to avoid gluten, as gluten is not tolerated by your body.

If you have celiac disease and you eat foods with gluten and even use products with gluten, your immune system will react to it, damaging the small villi or hair-like projections in the walls of your intestines that are responsible of the absorption of nutrients from the food you eat. With the damaged villi, you will end up malnourished even if you eat a lots of food each day.

This condition can also lead you to anemia, and may develop complications such as osteoporosis, diseases of the liver, and cancer as well.

If you have celiac disease and you want to know how to avoid gluten, here are a few tips you might find useful.

- Have a diet free from wheat. Cereals such as wheat are rich in gluten thus you have to avoid them. Aside from wheat, barley and rye are also gluten-containing. It also includes other wheat products such as wheat bran, cracked wheat, wheat starch and even wheat protein. Einkorn, kamut and spelt should also be included in your list of not-to-eat foods.

You may also be fooled by other wheat products such as flour – from the bromated ones to enriched flour, white flour, semolina and even the plain flour.

Breads, muffins, cakes, biscuits, cookies and pastas contain gluten as well, so you may want to avoid them too. Custards, gravies and others sauces and soups may also have used wheat to thicken them. Barley water drinks also contain gluten as well as malted drinks also have gluten.

Keep in mind that gluten may not just be present on the usual foods that we think are made of wheat, barley or rye. Gluten can be hidden in some other products such as in sausages and luncheon meats, in soups, in soy sauce, fish paste, salad dressings, certain brands of chocolate, gravy powders, as well as in malt vinegars and white pepper.

The best way of course on how to avoid gluten is to avoid these foods and check the label. Some countries have allowed labeling of the gluten-free products and that makes it easier for you to get a gluten-free diet. However, keep in mind that some food items may not contain ingredients that contain gluten but fillers, binders, thickeners and other things used in its preparation may contain the gluten.

Remember too that gluten is not just about food. Beauty products such as lipsticks, lip balms, lip gloss, as well as vitamins and supplements may also contain gluten, which can also be difficult to spot.

Although it is always wise to consult a dietician when it comes to identifying every food and product that has gluten, you can however identify some basic foods and products that contain gluten so you can avoid them as early as possible and research on reliable sources some detailed information on the products that you should avoid.

If you cannot tolerate gluten in your diet because you are allergic to it or you are suffering from celiac disease, you can actually find healthy foods without gluten that you can enjoy. Of course, aside from knowing what foods have gluten and should be avoided, you may want to find out what are the safe foods you can eat.

Celiac disease is a disease of the digestive system where the villi of the intestines are damaged and absorption of nutrients from the food is made impossible. With this, the sufferer becomes malnourished even if how much food one would eat. People who have this disease do not tolerate gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, as this can damage the villi and will hinder proper absorption of nutrients.

If you are looking for foods without gluten to start your gluten-free diet, start first with foods not having wheat, rye and barley, so you may want to stay away from bread, bread rolls, cookies, biscuits, cakes, as well as those gravies, soups and sauces that use wheat as thickener.

Foods without gluten that can be safely included in your diet can include fresh meat and fish, vegetables and fruits, herbs, fried fruits, honey, cheese, fruit juice. You can also drink beer but those that are gluten-free. Corn tacos or tortillas are also safe. Popcorns are also free from gluten but you have to check however for any coatings that may contain gluten.

Although in some countries labeling foods with ‘gluten-free’ is mandated, it is also important that you check the product a little further. It may not contain gluten in its ingredients but make sure the preparation of the food does not contain any gluten like the fillers and binders and the preparation is not contaminated with gluten. To help you with this, you may need to research further on the specific brands or foods that is safe for those suffering celiac disease or get help from a nutritionist or dietician to guide you. Finding foods without gluten is also beneficial for those who are allergic to it.

It is also wise to check the labels of foods before buying them. It can be tricky that foods that you may think are free from wheat or gluten may actually have an ingredient that contain this protein, thus it is important to read labels and be aware on where you can find gluten.

Keep in mind that gluten may be ‘hidden’ in some foods such as luncheon meats having fillers that may contain gluten. Soups that may contain flour, meat and fish pastes that may contain flour as thickeners, and in some brands of chocolates.

Gluten is not just limited to foods. You can also find them in beverages and drinks, thus also try to check and avoid beverages especially those with malt. You can also find this protein in cosmetics such as lipsticks, lip gloss, lip balms and may be present in some toothpastes as well.

Depression is a common ailment but when it becomes a true illness, it can be debilitating and even dangerous. It is common to feel “down” at times. Any time we lose a job or maybe a parent or other loved one, there is reason to have feelings of depression. But when we learn to fight depression, those sad emotions should pass within a few days and dissolve into happier feelings.

True depression is an actual illness and most people cannot fight it off nor will it away. Therapy is called for when one is unable to fight depression and it continues to hang on like a cloak of darkness.

Handling depression and sad feelings requires understanding why we feel as we do. Knowing why we feel low or unhappy is the first step in climbing out of that deep dark abyss that is depression. Take the time to identify what made you feel so sad and take steps to get past the problem.

Start to fight this problem by working out a wellness check list for yourself, as it can prove an effective method of fighting off those sad feelings. A check list should include what makes you feel sad or low. Write down these things as you encounter them throughout your day. Some typical examples of things many people find make them sad include:

Gaining weight. If you find you are gaining weight it can often be dealt with by dieting or exercise so try walking more each day, perhaps at lunch time. That way you will eat less and burn more calories at the same time.

Pain such as back problems or constant head aches. Pain is a depressant that sometimes requires medication like Acetaminophen or Aspirin. Often taking a brisk walk can give people a feeling of exhilaration as they not only get their mind off their ills but are taking in more oxygen as their rate of breathing picks up while exercising.

Loss of a loved one, loss of a job, or an impending divorce will often trigger depression. Sometimes the only remedy to fight depression can be found in time. When you lose someone you care very deeply for, that is a difficult feeling to cope with and popping pills is not the answer. You should take time to grieve and mourn your loss, but after a week or so you must try to put other, more pleasant thoughts in your mind and you will soon feel lifted from that darkness we know as depression.

The ability to fight depression comes with knowing we have a problem and finding effective methods of dealing with it. Making up your own wellness check list is a simple task. It can be a simple two sided list with one side containing a list of what triggers sadness in you and the other side to be filled in with ways to combat the first side. When you encounter a method that works for you, write that down and use it often. Try the exercise and deep breathing exercises as they are commonly effective methods to fight depression.

Diabetes is a very common disease in the Western World which is increasing due to our bad lifestyles, i.e. over-eating, little or no exercise, and high fat diets leading to cholesterol and triglyceride problems; it is also made worse by a person’s age and genetic predisposition. It is a chronic disease which occurs either when not enough insulin is produced by the pancreas or if that insulin cannot be efficiently used by the body; the function of insulin is to convert sugar and starches into energy.

There are 2 types of diabetes:

-Diabetes Mellitus is the common form of diabetes, and sufferers of this tend to have hyperglycemia which is when the levels of blood glucose are excessive, i.e. over 110 mg/dl. It is often referred to as sugar diabetes.

-Diabetes Insipidus which occurs when the pituitary gland fails in its function of producing the hormone ADH which stands for antidiuretic hormone. ADH is responsible for controlling the amount of water that is re-absorbed by the kidneys and hence if less ADH is produced than normal then less water is reabsorbed and consequently more urine is produced and the patient may become constantly thirsty.

The Diabetes Insipidus can itself be broken down into 2 categories:

-Cranial Diabetes Insipidus where there is not enough ADH in the body due to damage or infection of the pituitary gland.

-Nephrogenic Diabetes Insipidus where there is enough ADH in the body but the kidneys fail to respond properly to the ADH. This can be caused by kidney damage or it could just be hereditary.

Major causes of diabetes are obesity and lack of exercise; regular exercise will help to control blood sugar levels and reduce the chance of cardiovascular diseases. People suffering from hypoglycaemia (low levels of blood sugar) may need to increase the blood sugar rapidly.

Insulin

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas in our bodies and its functions are to control the levels of glucose in the blood and to convert glucose to energy.
Sufferers of Type 1 diabetes cannot produce insulin at all and have to be given insulin injections. Sufferers of Type 2 diabetes are able to produce insulin, but their cells are unable to use it.

Sufferers of diabetes should only eat small quantities of high sugar or high fat foods and fruit juice is inadvisable as it is high in fruit sugar, i.e. fructose, which can cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. High blood sugar levels can cause cardiovascular problems, kidney problems, skin and foot problems and an unchecked diet and no medical care could lead to heart disease, strokes, kidney failure, blindness and gangrene which could lead on to amputations or even death.

Diabetic sufferers can usually do quite a lot to help themselves by controlling their diet, regular exercise and taking care of their bodies” any infections should be cleaned meticulously and regular bathing will help prevent many foot problems or skin inflammations from developing into something really nasty. Also they should be sure to take all medications prescribed by their GP.
