Are You Making Healthy Decisions?

Given the fact that we are blissfully enjoying the warmth of the summer season (for those of us located in the northern hemisphere anyway) you would probably think that it’s unusual to hear the hacking cough of a nasty winter cold, right? But recently it seems that everywhere I go I hear more and more people coughing.

There was no news of a cold or flu epidemic, so there was no way to really pinpoint what was going on, but it piqued an interest. As our team researched ‘coughing’ and ‘breathing problems’, there was one thing that was quite evident – there is an incredibly large number of people in America and around the world suffering from chronic lung disorders.

Although there are millions suffering from mild forms of asthma or occasional bouts of bronchitis brought on during the flu season, there are more than 600 million people worldwide suffering from COPD or Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. What's more, this is a disease that many people don't know a thing about!

When we discovered that this unfamiliar condition was not only the 4th leading cause of death amongst Americans, but that more than half of those cases were likely preventable by diet alone (Read our article on Second Hand Smoke, Diet and Chronic Lung Disease), we knew we had to raise COPD awareness.

I don't want to give away the contents of the entire article, but one interesting thing we found out is that many environmental pollutants are a contributing factor for COPD. This lead into some research on toxicity and an entire article dedicated to the beneficial nature of eating organic foods (Read our article on The Danger of Pesticides), as well as the 12 most polluted foods you should only purchase from an organic source and the 12 least polluted that can be purchased from a regular source (Read our article on Twelve Organic Produce Items to Reduce Your Pesticide Exposure by 90%).

Second Hand Smoke, Diet and Chronic Lung Disease

New Study Finds Prevention is Key

Although there are more than 600 million people worldwide affected by COPD (Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease), according to estimates by the World Health Organization, it is a disease that is unfamiliar to many of us.

COPD often goes undiagnosed because the symptoms and conditions usually develop over months and in some cases over years. Even once it is, many of the 11 million Americans afflicted with the disease are so unfamiliar with COPD that they are unaware of how to treat it. Unfortunately, the quandary with chronic lung conditions is that they become very difficult to treat once they have fully developed. Read More…

The Danger of Pesticides

Are they Finding their Way into Your Diet?

Organic! Organic! Organic! Does it seem like everywhere you look you see the word organic? Whether it's in a health food store, a restaurant, or even your local grocery store organic foods are all the rage. They are being sold practically everywhere and you can find everything from organic fruits and vegetables to organic flour, and even organic meats!

Many claim that eating organic products means avoiding overly processed foods, thereby cutting hydrogenated oils, trans-fats, preservatives and other negative ingredients out of your diet. But lately, the debate over fruits and vegetables seems to be taking center stage. The pesticides used on foods are currently a big concern for the health community, due to their many acute and chronic effects.Read More…
