A lot of us suffer from excessive sweating, but we’ve learned to live with it. We have accepted it as our genetic makeup and we just sweat more than most people. There maybe a genetic component to all this, but that doesn’t mean it cannot be controlled.

Here are some foods that make you sweat:

Spicy Food - This is pretty obvious. Spicy foods are hot on our senses. They make us sweat just by eating them. Spicy foods are delicious, but they could be causing you to experience excessive amounts of sweating.

Coffee - I know most people don’t like to have anyone bad mouth their coffee, but it has an effect. The fact that it is a liquid and high in caffeine will cause your body to sweat because of it. Try cutting out coffee and see what happens.

Alcohol - If you haven’t been already aware, alcohol dehydrates your body and this means your body is going to get rid of all the liquid it can. If it come out in urine or sweat.

Hot liquids - This would also fit in with coffee, but this includes other things such as hot chocolate and soups. These heat up your body and your body cools down through sweat, so be aware if you’re eating hot liquids.

These are the various different foods out there that can have a profound effect on the amount of sweat you produce. There are a lot of other foods out there that will have an effect.

I have often been asked by people what are some all natural weight loss techniques. Over the years weight loss has become a pretty complicated topic with so many books and pills that sometimes it can be difficult to identify all natural weight loss tips and ideas that actually do work.

Not to overwhelm you in this article, I thought I would discuss three of my favorite all natural weight loss tips that I hope will provide you with a place to start and lose weight on your own terms.

The first all natural weight loss habit I would start with is drinking more water. In particular drinking more water especially in the morning seems to have a huge benefit to the body when it comes to jump starting the metabolism and actually losing weight.

The first thing I would do in the morning is drink a big glass of water with some lemon in it before you do anything else. Then challenge yourself to drink at least 1.5 liters of water by lunchtime. This will help create a bowel movement in the morning that will help stimulate the body to release more fat.

The next all natural weight loss habit I would do is learn how to do interval training with your exercise. So often I see people at the gym doing the same old same old using the same intensity for the whole workout.

So how do you change of the intensity of the workout? Next time you are exercising find a way to increase the speed or power of your work out for brief periods of time essentially working out slow then fast then slow then medium then fast then slow. There are lots of great reference books on interval training, so take some time to research.

The final all natural weight loss tip that I would start doing is find a way to consume a plant based diet. This means no meat, dairy ( milk and cheese). The higher quantity of fruits and vegetables that you consume helps stimulate the metabolism for fat loss and helps alkalize your body, which is your body’s natural state anyway.

All natural weight loss is easy. It really is about making changes to your normal activities of daily living. Challenging yourself to be consistent in changing the habit. Once the habit is changed over the course of month, it becomes the new you and your body will start to normalize in weight.

Weight loss is a system. Do something different everyday and change is inevitable.

Start slow. Take one of these all natural weight loss tips and working on changing it to become a habit then work on another one. Don’t worry about changing things over night. Find a way to change your lifestyle and your body will change with it.

Simply drink more water, change your exercise routine to train with intervals and challenge yourself to eat a plant based diet. Do those things and weight loss will be easy.

Many acid reflux sufferers are asking about a GERD alternative – what foods help heartburn? If you are suffering from Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD), you may want to consider how your diet impacts your reflux problems. 

Did you know that most acid reflux problems are caused by a poor diet? It only makes sense that a GERD alternative treatment must include your diet to work. In this article, you will learn 5 dieting tips to cure your acid reflux disease.

Why Your Diet is Important

Most experts believe that this disease is a result of a poor dieting that hinders the work of your sphincter. The lower esophageal sphincter (LES) is the muscle flap that sits on top of the stomach. This muscle’s job is to allow food into the stomach and keep it inside.

Unfortunately, over time the sphincter can become weakened and more damaged. And the traditional treatment, like antacids, do nothing to heal the sphincter.

Allowing your diet and the foods you eat to strengthen and heal your sphincter can cure acid reflux. Here are some foods that help heartburn.

5 Foods that Help Heartburn

1. An apple a day keeps the doctor away. I remember my grandpa always saying this and I even saw this on a billboard the other day. In the case of heartburn, a common red apple can naturally cure an acid reflux attack. Eat an apple or a slice whenever you feel an attack coming on.

2. Honey is also important to eat if you suffer from heartburn. Try to eat at least 3 teaspoons daily to help heal the sphincter. Honey can naturally heal muscle tissue like the LES.

3. Water is not a food but it can help with your problem. Avoid coffee, alcohol and carbonated drinks which can damage the sphincter. Instead, drink water after every meal and snack to keep a tight seal on your stomach.

4. Mix a half glass of milk with a half glass of 7-Up and drink up. This is a ‘home remedy’ that some nurses will secretly use at hospitals for chronic heartburn patients.

5. Bananas are also helpful because they are high in fiber and low in acid which can be helpful for heartburn sufferers. Try to supplement twice a day.

This week alone, thousands of sufferers will look for a home kidney stone treatment other than water to help flush their kidney stones. Unfortunately, water can only do so much for helping you pass your problem painlessly.

It has been shown that kidney stones bigger than 5 mm may need something more than water to help them pass. If you are serious about flushing your kidney stones painlessly, these 5 tips may help you do that!

My Doctor Recommended Drinking Plenty of Water

Water has thousands of benefits and one benefit is to help flush the kidneys of stones. Therefore, you should follow your doctor’s advice to drink plenty of water. Unfortunately, many people find that drinking plenty of water does not help.

If you have been drinking water but to no avail, there is plenty of other alternative treatments you may want to try. Natural health research shows there are numerous other remedies you can try that flush the kidneys, dissolve calcium based kidney stones and even prevent future kidney stones from forming.

Though your doctor may never mention these, here are some secrets you may wish to try at home.

Tips for a Home Kidney Stone Treatment

1. While drinking plenty of water, it would be helpful to supplement at least 6-7 servings of your favorite vegetables and fruits to your diet. Both fruits and veggies contain water soluble fiber which will help flush the kidneys. Most fruits and some vegetables also contain citric acid which can help dissolve calcium build up in the kidneys.

2. Tea lovers are in luck too! A celery seed remedy has also been very helpful for many of my customers. All you need to do is boil 2 tablespoons with 2 cups of water. Sift the seeds before you drink and drink the tea regularly. (Pregnant women should avoid this remedy.)

3. Summer is a great time to eat watermelon. Watermelons are a great snack and have been shown to help in kidney stone elimination. All you need to do is eat as much watermelon as you can in one day. You will notice many trips to the bathroom because watermelons are mostly composed of water.

4. Exercise! Exercise! Exercise! Try to exercise for at least 45 minutes daily until your stones pass. Exercise allows all the body’s functions to operate more effectively which can be helpful for passing kidney stones.

5. Finally, sufferers have been found to be deficient in magnesium. Consider taking a magnesium supplement of no less than 300-350 mg/day.

Herbal remedies, dietary supplements, and botanical medicines are part of the growing interest in alternative medicines and therapies that people are seeking today. When you walk into many large supermarkets you may see an aisle dedicated to natural medicines. Spend any time online researching health questions and you will be bombarded with advertisements for the “next big thing” in supplements that will claim to cure everything from earaches to diabetes to cancer.

I am a great believer in the efficacy and safety of natural products when used properly in a patient’s overall regimen. I also think it’s great that more and more people are interested in taking an active role in their own health plans, but as the old saying goes, “A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing,” especially when it comes to self-prescribing medicines. Here are three vital things every consumer should consider about botanicals and dietary supplements:

1) Just because a plant or herb is natural doesn’ t make it safe for you to take, even if it is sold as an alternative medicine.

2) Not all herbal remedies or natural medicines are created equal.

3) As always, if the claims about a product sound too good to be true, they probably are.

Let’s consider each of these points in a little more detail. First, just because a plant or herb is natural doesn’t make it safe for you to take, even if it is sold as an alternative medicine.

Since herbs and plants must be used in strong enough doses to make them effective in the treatment of many conditions, there can also be contraindications for the use of them. Contraindications can occur if the herb is taken over an extended period of time (1- 2 months) or in large doses that could result in side effects. Drug interactions may also occur when an herb is taken. Combining an herbal remedy with another drug can be problematic and possibly dangerous.

The combination of a pharmaceutical drug with an herb may interfere with the activity of the herb or drug, thus producing a decrease or increase in the effectiveness of the drug. For example, willow (salix) is used as an anti-inflammatory and analgesic (pain reliever) just as aspirin is used in inflammatory conditions such as arthritis and for headache pain. Willow is also used for fevers. Like aspirin, willow is contraindicated in conjunction with other blood thinning agents ( such as coumadin). It is also contraindicated in patients with bleeding disorders like hemophilia. It is absolutely essential that you keep your primary care physician and all others who may prescribe medicines for you ( natural or pharmaceutical) aware of any and all medications you are taking.

2) Not all herbal remedies or natural medicines are created equal.

Pharmaceutical drugs are tightly controlled and regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ensure standardization and quality in the products. However, herbal remedies and dietary supplements are classified as “food” by the FDA and therefore are regulated in a different way. The following is an excerpt from the web site of the National Center for Alternative and Complementary Health, a division of the National Institutes of Health:

Currently, the FDA regulates supplements as foods rather than drugs. In general, the laws about putting foods ( including supplements) on the market and keeping them on the market are less strict than the laws for drugs. Specifically:

*Research studies in people to prove a supplement’ s safety are not required before the supplement is marketed, unlike for drugs.

*The manufacturer does not have to prove that the supplement is effective, unlike for drugs. The manufacturer can say that the product addresses a nutrient deficiency, supports health, or reduces the risk of developing a health problem, if that is true. If the manufacturer does make a claim, it must be followed by the statement “This statement has not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.”

*The manufacturer does not have to prove supplement quality.

Specifically:

*The FDA does not analyze the content of dietary supplements.

*At this time, supplement manufacturers must meet the requirements of the FDA’s Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) for foods. GMPs describe conditions under which products must be prepared, packed, and stored. Food GMPs do not always cover all issues of supplement quality. Some manufacturers voluntarily follow the FDA’s GMPs for drugs, which are stricter.

*Some manufacturers use the term “standardized” to describe efforts to make their products consistent. However, U.S. law does not define standardization.

Therefore, the use of this term (or similar terms such as “verified” or “certified”) does not guarantee product quality or consistency.

(Source: National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, http://nccam.nih.gov/health/bottle/)

The bottom line? Some manufacturers produce better products than others. The herb must be of sufficient potency and meet certain standards to be truly effective. I like to look at the research done on the herbs that I prescribe to my patients before recommending a particular herbal remedy or botanical medicine.

3) As always, if the claims about a product sound too good to be true, they probably are.

There are a lot of natural products on the market that are being hyped with some outrageous claims. It is true that I have seen some pretty amazing results with some botanical medicines, but use common sense when considering a new product. There is no “cure all” with herbal remedies. There are more scientific clinical studies being done every day on herbal products, and I try to stick with products that have been tested and proven effective. Used with a complete treatment program, botanicals can be very helpful in promoting the overall health of a patient.

If you are one of the millions of people who are researching and considering the use of herbal remedies, I congratulate you for wanting to take an active role in your own health plan. Be sure to be an informed consumer, and keep your health care providers abreast of all the medicines or supplements you may be taking, natural or otherwise.
