Detoxification
and Healing: The Key to Optimal Health by Sidney
MacDonald, MD Baker
The human
body continually detoxifies itself, getting rid of the poisons that assault
it from both without and within. This book explains what toxins are, why
plants and animals produce them, and how the body resolves its "internal
trash-removal problem.". |

| Healthy
living includes being active, feeling good about yourself and eating properly.
Road to GOOD Health is a very INDIVIDUAL one. Willingness to keep looking
until you find something that works for you is very important, because
what works for one person may be a complete turnoff for another. Once you've
discovered what suits you, it doesn't take long to develop a passion for
it. It doesn't take much to start living a healthier life. |
Blood
pressure that is too high is known as arterial hypertension. Blood pressure
that is too low is known as hypotension. |
Blood Pressure
If you
often feel exhausted for no reason or become woozy after standing for long
periods, feel dizzy while taking a nice hot shower, experience the nausea
or lightheadedness, have a physician evaluate your blood pressure.
Any
level of blood pressure puts mechanical stress on the arterial walls. The
higher the pressure, the more stress that is present. At branch points
in blood vessels, this stress becomes a shearing force, capable of injuring
the tender lining of the blood vessels, the endothelium. Elevated shearing
force on the endothelium, along with other factors (nutritional, inflammatory,
toxic) may contribute to the development of atherosclerosis. |

| Drug
Side Effects |
| We
all know that certain cold medications, antihistamines and even cough syrups
can make you drowsy. Bat you may not have known that the list of potential
energy sappers features many other familiar drugs that can cause drowsiness
in some people. These include some diuretics and certain blood-presure
medications. If you often feel tired or run-down, ask your doctor or your
pharmacist whether the medication you are taking might be the cause and
what alternatives may be available. |
| Dehydration |
| Make
sure you drink eight to ten glasses of water a day, more if you exercise
heavily. Don't wait until you feel thirsty. Once you feel thirsty, you've
already begun to lose a significant amount of fluid. As your fluid level
decreases, you'll start to notice a decline in physical performance. |
