More Benefits of Chia Seeds

From MindBodyGreen.com

Long before the Ch-ch-ch-chia pet of the 1980�s, the Aztecs and the Mayans used chia seeds as a staple of their everyday diets, alongside corn and beans. �Chia� is the Mayan word for strength, and these ancient peoples understood the important health benefits of these seeds.

The Mayans would grind chia seeds into flour, press them for oil, and drink them mixed with water. Ancient people considered these seeds magical due to their ability to increase stamina and energy for long periods of time. However, once the Spanish conquered Latin America, they introduced their own foods and prohibited the farming of chia.

However, chia seeds have recently made a comeback in modern diets as researchers have discovered the hidden benefits from this ancient super seed. Here are just seven of the various reasons you should add this superfood to your diet today.

1. Pack in your fiber.

The American Dietetic Association recommends 20 to 35 grams of fiber per day, yet most people only consume about half of that. Chia seeds deliver almost 50% of your necessary daily intake, with 11 grams of fiber per ounce. Fiber is necessary for ultimate health, but especially for digestion and weight loss.

2. Trim the fat.

Chia seeds absorb up to 12 times their weight and expand in your stomach, making you feel full and curbing your appetite. Chia seeds help reduce your caloric intake by filling you up and helping lower the energy density of certain foods � ultimately, assisting greatly in weight loss.

3. Get your omega-3s.

Chia seeds are a concentrated sources of omega-3 fatty acids, and they actually have more omega-3s than salmon. Omega-3s are critical for brain health, and chia contains five grams per one ounce serving.

4. Build your bones.

One ounce of chia seeds has 18 percent of the recommended daily intake of calcium. Chia seeds can help promote better bone and oral health.

5. Boost heart health.

Studies have shown that chia seeds can improve blood pressure and increase healthy cholesterol while lowering bad cholesterol. Chia seeds can help you maintain a healthy heart � a crucial element of your health.

6. Get your phosphorus.

Your body uses phosphorus to synthesize protein and repair cells and tissues. Chia seeds contain 27 percent of your daily value of phosphorus, and can help your body heal and repair itself faster!

7. Fill up faster.

Tryptophan, the amino acid that's popularly known for making you sleepy, is also found in chia seeds. Not only will it make you want to take a nap, but it also helps regulate appetite, sleep and improve mood.

There are plenty of ways that chia seeds can benefit your overall health, and it�s no wonder that the ancient Aztecs and Mayans regularly consumed them. Adding chia to your diet can be a great way to help with weight loss and get your daily vitamins and nutrients!

PH Balance and disease

Higher Healing has been discussing the effects of a balanced pH through the Habits of Health radio broadcast. CLICK TO LISTEN

If you have a health problem, most likely you are acidic. Research shows that unless the body's pH level is slightly alkaline, the body cannot heal itself. So, no matter what type of modality you choose to use to take care of your health problem, it won't be effective until the pH level is up. If your body's pH is not balanced, you cannot effectively assimilate vitamins, minerals and food supplements. Your body pH affects everything.

Just as our body temperature must be maintained at 98.6 degrees and you feel sick or tired when your body' s temperature changes one degree in either direction, if the pH range of the blood deviates too far to the acid side, oxygen levels decrease and cellular metabolism slows or stops. Cells might die or get damaged and the body's immune system is compromised.

Diabetes (type 1)

Normally, the pancreas secretes the hormone insulin to keep blood glucose from becoming too high. Insulin signals cells to take glucose out of the blood and use it for energy or fat storage. In type 1 diabetes, the body's own immune system attacks the insulin-secreting cells of the pancreas and destroys them. Because the pancreas can no longer secrete significant amounts of insulin, insulin levels are low and blood sugar levels are high in type 1 diabetes.

Diabetes, by itself, does NOT affect the ph of blood..

 

Without insulin, the body cannot transfer sugar from the blood to the cells.Your cells start to starve.Thinking they are starving, your cells send out "starvation signals", telling your body that they are hungry.When this happens, your body tries to use protein (muscles) for food.

When your body digests proteins, it produced KETONES. Normally, these are filtered out by the kidneys. But when the body is using its own protein (muscle) the ketones are in too great an amount to be filtered out completely so ketones build up in your blood.

The KETONES can make your blood acidic, thus destroying the rest of your body.Your liver, kidney, heart, and brain is damaged by these ketones and the resulting "acidic blood".

Heart Disease

Corrodes Arteries, Veins and Heart Tissues
Like acid eating into marble, acidosis erodes and eats into cell wall membranes of the heart, arteries and veins, weakening cardiovascular structures and inter connective

tissues. It disrupts Blood Pressure because with acidosis, (pH<7.20) arteries become dilated. Yet, severe lowering of blood pH also causes persistent venous vasoconstriction (a disease in the calibre of blood vessels). When this happens, peripheral blood is shifted more centrally: the more acidic the patient, the greater the fractional redistribution of blood to the central vessels. This central redistribution of blood adds to the heart's workload when its contractibility is compromised.

PH Balancing for Optimal Health!

The human body is an indivisible, integrated organism, not a collection of various unrelated parts. In this vein, there are various mechanisms in your body that work together to maintain a proper pH balance throughout your body.

The acidity or alkalinity of a substance is measured using pH. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14, with 0 being the most acidic, 14 being the most alkaline, and 7 being neutral. To survive, our bodies must maintain the pH very close to 7.4, which is just on the alkaline side of neutral. If your body�s pH varies too much from this ideal, it becomes difficult for various enzymes to function properly.

Maintaining this slightly alkaline state is a constant challenge, primarily because of the acid-forming functions that take place within the body, and the over-abundance of acid-producing foods we consume.

The idea that various foods influence the pH of the body isn't new. In fact, as far back as the early 1900s, numerous doctors began studying the pH-altering effects of different foods. They found that while a few foods were "neutral" in their effects, most foods were either "alkaline-producing" or "acid-producing." They also found that simply changing the diet could change the pH of the body. Not surprisingly, bringing the body's pH closer to the normal range helped patients get rid of many of their health complaints.

Overacidity has even been linked to the formation of cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and osteoporosis.

Most people who suffer from imbalanced pH are acidic. This condition forces the body to borrow minerals�including calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium�from vital organs and bones to buffer (neutralize) the acid and safely remove it from the body. Because of this strain, the body can suffer severe and prolonged damage due to high acidity�a condition that may go undetected for years.

How Important is Balancing your pH? Mild acidosis can cause such problems as:

Cardiovascular damage, including the constriction of blood vessels and the reduction of oxygen.

Weight gain, obesity and diabetes.

Bladder and kidney conditions, including kidney stones.

Immune deficiency.

Acceleration of free radical damage, possibly contributing to cancerous mutations.

Hormone concerns.

Premature aging.

Osteoporosis, weak or brittle bones, hip fractures and bone spurs.

Joint pain, aching muscles and lactic acid build-up.

Low energy and chronic fatigue.

Slow digestion and elimination. Yeast/fungal overgrowth.

 

What Causes Me to be Acidic?

The reason acidosis is more common in our society is mostly due our diet, which is far too high in acid-producing animal products like meat, eggs and dairy, and far too low in alkaline-producing foods like fresh vegetables. Additionally, we eat acid-producing processed foods like white flour and sugar and drink acid-producing beverages like coffee and soft drinks. We use too many drugs, which are acid forming; and we use artificial chemical sweeteners, which are extremely acid forming. One of the best things we can do to correct an overly acid body is to clean up the diet and lifestyle.

 

Acid and Alkaline in the human Body

Our body secretes or maintains many different kinds of fluids. Their pH factors are different. The most important of these fluids is blood, which has to be slightly alkaline all the time.

Our body�s exercise or movements produce lactic acid and carbon dioxide. Phosphoric acid and sulphuric acid are likewise produced in the body from oxidation of the phosphorus and sulphur contained in food. This makes the blood acid.

On the other hand, alkaline elements such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are ingested in large amounts, especially in vegetable food.

How to prevent an acid system

It is very important to make sure you are eating more alkaline forming foods and less of the acid forming foods

Drink 2.5 � 3 Litres of water daily

Eat more vegetables

Keep away from refined foods and sugars

Keep away from alcohol or cut right back to an occasional drink.

 

Click the link in the right side bar to get your own personal "at home" testing kit. Test your pH every morning and evening to determine if your body system is acidic.

 

Basic Nutrition for Acidosis:

 

1. Enzymes are essential: Food Enzymes - 1 to 2 capsules with meals

2. Magnesium is beneficial: Magnesium Complex - take 2 with meals

3. Alkaline Minerials are essential: Colloidal Minerals or Mineral Chi Tonic - take 1 oz. a day

4. Focus on GREEN Foods: Use our Ultimate GreenZone mix - use 1 scoop to make green smoothie twice a day.

     Liquid Chlorophyll - take 1 teaspoon in 8oz. water up to 8 x's per day

Taking these 4 steps immediately will help to change the internal pH od your body from Acid to Alkaline bringing about a healthy balance and energy.

Should Hebrews go to the Doctor?

Physicians are referred to about a dozen times throughout the Bible. The only verse that could be taken out of context to teach that one should not go to physicians would be 2 Chronicles 16:12.

"In the thirtyninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the the ETERNAL, but only from the physicians."

But this particular case involved Asa's whole outlook on life in his later years (that of turning his back on Elohim at an earlier point in his life). His sin? NO trust in the ETERNAL. TOTAL trust in doctors. Lack of balance!!! Are your medical views in, or out of balance, one way or the other?

There are many verses that speak of using "medical treatments" such as applying bandages (Isaiah 1:6), oil (James 5:14), oil and wine (Luke 10:34), leaves (Ezekiel 47:12), wine (1 Timothy 5:23), and salves, particularly the "balm of Gilead" (Jeremiah 8:22).  

Mark 5:25-30 relates the story of a woman who had trouble with continual bleeding, a problem that physicians could not heal even though she had been to many of them and had spent all of her money on them. Coming to YEHSHIYEH, she thought to herself that if she but touched the hem of His garment/His tzitzit, she would be healed, and she was.  YEHSHIYEH  never rebuked her for visiting doctors all her life!  YEHSHIYEH , in answering the questioning Pharisees as to why he spent time with sinners said to them, �Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick" (Matthew 9:12).  YEHSHIYEH  clearly recognizes the need and validity of doctors, comparing the physical realm�s need for doctors�, with the spiritual realm�s need for HIMSELF as THE Spiritual Healer of all of mankind! Moreover based on Matthew 9:12 we see that:

Our Move from Ning!

Shalom to all of my readers. We have had a serious set back on our social network site and I am so thankful to the Most High for making a way. Recently, ning decided to no longer offer its free service to Network Creators, hence three of my sites were affected. I have been in the process of moving all of the material from the ning platform to another, and it has been a job, to say the least.
As of today, I have set up our network on the Webs.com platform and I would like for you all to visit and sign up on the new site. It is still Higher Healing with the same Torah focused natural health solutions, just in a new location. The groups are not set up yet, but I will work on it this week and I pray that you will help to get things going again.

May YHWH Bless you richly!

Chushah l�ezrati - Make haste to help me!

OFTEN THE ONLY PRAYER we have is "Help!" I use this one on a daily basis, that is, whenever I am confronted with the truth of my condition.

The word translated "hasten" comes from the Hebrew word "chush," which means to hurry,

to act quickly, or to come quickly. The Psalms often plead urgently, "hasten to help

me" (chushah l�ezrati).

An old Jewish prayer says, "O ETERNAL, I know that you will help us; but will you help us before you will help us?"

Although the ETERNAL sometime tarries, He declares, "I am SOVERIEGN; in its time I will hasten

it" (Isa. 60:22). But still the anxious heart sighs, �Is it time, ETERNAL? Will you now restore

the kingdom to Israel?� But as Yahushua said, "It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority" (Acts 1:6-7). We are left waiting for the ultimate Elohim�s answer: His glorious coming to fulfill our salvation.

Living in the �already-not-yet� state of redemption is a soul-building venture that helps us

to acquire the precious middah (quality) of patience: 

"In your patience possess ye your souls" (Luke 21:19).

Suffering produces endurance (Rom. 5:3), but the ETERNAL surely is faithful "to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding

joy" (Jude 1:24). May He come speedily, and in our day. Omein.

Morning Prayer - Modeh Ani

When we wake in the morning, YHWH graciously restores our soul (neshamah or nefesh) within us in order to experience another day of life. This awakening is an analog of the resurrection from the dead:

Just as YHWH revives us from the depths of our sleep and enables our eyes to once again receive light, so will He ultimately revive the dead from their state and bring them into the glorious presence of His Light. The Modeh Ani, one of the first blessings a Jewish child is taught, expresses gratitude to YHWH for the gift of a new day of life.

Modeh ani l�faneykha, melech chai vekaiyam,

shehechezarta bi nishmati bechemlah, rabbah emunatekha.

I thank you, living and eternal King,

for returning my soul within me in compassion,

great is your faithfulness.

Should Believers go to Doctors?

Physicians are referred to about a dozen times throughout the Bible. The only verse that could be taken out of context to teach that one should not go to physicians would be 2 Chronicles 16:12.

"In the thirtyninth year of his reign Asa was afflicted with a disease in his feet. Though his disease was severe, even in his illness he did not seek help from the YHWH, but only from the physicians."

But this particular case involved Asa's whole outlook on life in his later years (that of turning his back on Elohim at an earlier point in his life). His sin? NO trust in YHWH. TOTAL trust in doctors. Lack of balance!!! Are your medical views in, or out of balance, one way or the other?

There are many verses that speak of using "medical treatments" such as applying bandages (Isaiah 1:6), oil (James 5:14), oil and wine (Luke 10:34), leaves (Ezekiel 47:12), wine (1 Timothy 5:23), and salves, particularly the "balm of Gilead" (Jeremiah 8:22). Also Luke, the author of Acts and the Gospel of Luke, is referred to by Paul as "the beloved physician" (Colossians 4:14). If visiting doctors was somehow sinful, Rav Shaul would not have travelled with Luke and had him as a ministry partner!

Mark 5:25-30 relates the story of a woman who had trouble with continual bleeding, a problem that physicians could not heal even though she had been to many of them and had spent all of her money on them. Coming to Yahshua, she thought to herself that if she but touched the hem of His garment/His tzitzit, she would be healed, and she was. Yahshua never rebuked her for visiting doctors all her life! Yahshua, in answering the questioning Pharisees as to why he spent time with sinners said to them, �Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick" (Matthew 9:12). Yahshua clearly recognizes the need and validity of doctors, comparing the physical realm�s need for doctors�, with the spiritual realm�s need for HIMSELF as THE Spiritual Healer of all of mankind! Moreover based on Matthew 9:12 we see that:

1) Physicians are not Elohim and should not be viewed as such. They sometimes can help, but there will be other times when all they will accomplish is the removal of money.

2) Seeking physicians and using "earthly" remedies are not condemned in Scripture, but rather seem to have been used throughout Scripture.

3) Elohim's intervention in any physical difficulty should be sought (James 4:2; 5:13). He does not promise us that He will answer the way we will always want (Isaiah 55:8-9), but we have the assurance that all He does will be done in love and thus in our best interest (Psalm 145:8-9).

So, should Nazarene Yisraelites go to doctors? Elohim created us as intelligent beings and gave us the ability to create medicines and learn how to repair our bodies. There is nothing wrong with applying this knowledge and ability towards physical healing. Doctors can be viewed as Elohim�s gift to us, a means through which Elohim brings healing and recovery. At the same time, our ultimate faith and trust is to be in Yahweh, not doctors or medicine. As with all the difficult decisions we face in life, Elohim promises to give us wisdom when we ask for it (James 1:5), so we know how to pursue all available venues of healing.

Soups That Heal!

Chicken soup

Chicken soup is a favourite healing soup all over the world. It has often been called Jewish penicillin and scientists have spent time and money examining the actions of chicken soup on colds and flu. It�s no surprise that they�ve found evidence of the way chicken soup combats the symptoms of a cold. Dr Stephen Rennard, a US pulmonary specialist, tested various chicken soups, from a traditional, home made soup, to a number of commercial varieties, in the laboratory. He found that the soups had anti-inflammatory properties that helped sore throats and helped stop the movement of neutrophils (white blood cells that encourage the flow of mucus that accumulates in the lungs and nose). So grandmother was right all along!

No wonder chicken soup is a fabled remedy for colds: It contains druglike agents similar to those in modern cold medicines, says Irwin Ziment, M.D., pulmonary specialist and professor at the UCLA School of Medicine. For example, cysteine, an amino acid released from chicken in cooking, chemically resembles the drug acetylcysteine, prescribed for bronchitis and other respiratory problems. Pungent ingredients often added to chicken soup, such as garlic, cayenne pepper and curry spices, all are ancient treatments for respiratory diseases. They work the same way as expectorant drugs and cough medicines, thinning mucus and making breathing easier. The more garlic and hot spices added to chicken soup, Ziment says, the better the soup will be at clearing your lungs.

USA Weekend

Tomato soup

Our family favourite for colds was tomato soup. Of course it helps to come from a tomato growing region - or in your back yard or patio garden. Made with a base of chicken stock, add tomatoes, onions, garlic and basil or oregano, all home grown. The soup is rich, thick and savoury. It�s still one of my favourite soups today. And what a glorious soup it is too. A wonderful sight as it comes to the table with a sprinkling of fresh oregano over the top, looking like chips of emerald against the ruby colour of the tomatoes. Truly, it�s a feast for the eyes as well as the mouth.

The tomatoes in my soup are full of lycopene and vitamin C, both are antioxidants. Onions and garlic are very common ingredients in soup and are well known for their anti-bacterial and anti-viral effects. Onions contain quercetin, a formidable antioxidant with wide-ranging activity. Studies show that quercetin is anti-cancer, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral and anti-bacterial. Garlic is very active against bacteria, so active that the blood of garlic eaters can kill bacteria. It helps lower blood pressure, prevent blood clots, reduce atherosclerotic buildup, is active against yeasts, prevents cancer, removes heavy metals such as lead and mercury from the body, has anti-oxidant properties and is a source of selenium. The primary ingredients in Oregano, thymol and carvacrol (which are also found in thyme), help loosen phlegm in the lungs and relieve spasms in the bronchial passages. Many commercial cough remedies, including cough drops and skin rubs such as Vicks VapoRub, contain thymol.
No wonder it did us good!

Create a healthy digestive system

Today�s fast paced lifestyles often don�t leave time for peaceful mealtimes or even well-balanced nutrition. When your digestive system isn�t working well, you don�t feel your best. Research shows that a healthy digestive system supports short-term well-being and long-term health. When you eat foods, they are not in a form that the body can use as nourishment. Food and drink must be changed into smaller molecules of nutrients before they can be absorbed into the blood and carried to cells throughout the body. Digestion is the process by which food and drink are broken down into their smallest parts so the body can use them to build and nourish cells and to provide energy.

Signs of Healthy Digestions

In fact, a healthy digestive system offers:

� Improved regularity

� Support for healthy bowel function

� Relief from occasional mild constipation, gas, diarrhea, and bloating

� Freedom from occasional heartburn and occasional acid indigestion

� Ease of upset stomach

� Improved sense of well-being

� Better overall health

Poor Digestion Factors

Possible causes of maldigestion are bad food choices, anxiety, stress, enzyme deficiency, and many others. Junk food, for instance, irritates the digestive organs and reduces digestive speed and efficiency. Research indicates that today most people have weak digestion, resulting in fatigue, lowered immunity, and increased physical discomfort.

Digestive Build Great Tasting 100% Alcohol-Free Liquid Herbal Product
