LHN’s New Acidosis Reducing Supplement Added To Amazon.Com As Liberty Health Network’s Online Product Offerings Continue To Grow. Follow LHN on Twitter @GoLHN


Tampa, FL USA (PRWEB) June 12, 2012

Liberty Health Network, LLC announces the release of pH Plus Nutritional Supplement on Amazon.Com

LHN has been know for The Beau Visage Non Surgical Face Lift Mask, guaranteed to reduce lines and wrinkles, smooth skin, and fade blemishes. But LHN is much more than a Beauty company. LHN offers top of the line Mortechem Free Anti Aging Supplements and cutting-edge products such as Ph Plus, to battle issues such as chronic acidosis,

ACIDOSIS is a scary-sounding word. Perhaps that’s because “Acidosis” (too much acid waste in our body), is considered by many researchers to be the basic foundation of all disease. It’s a real silent killer. The simple process of alkalizing the body and the important role a properly alkalized body plays in restoring and maintaining overall health, is paramount in any serious pursuit of wellness. That’s because glands and organs function properly in exact proportion to the amount of alkaline and acid levels in the system.

Because of today’s environmental pollution, chemical-based farming practices, the air breathed, the water drank, over-processed, enzyme-dead food, medicinal drugs, stress, vaccinations, etc., it is estimated that eighty to ninety percent of what goes into the human body is acid-forming, dramatically impacting the body’s pH. The result of this is decay and putrefaction in the colon, which in turn stimulates the formation of dangerous acids that affect cells, organs, glands and body functions. As the aging process continues, the entire metabolic process becomes progressively more acid, organ tissues begin to show the signs of stress and damage, and dis-ease becomes the norm. Researchers believe every sick person is over-acidic. The overwhelming majority of not yet ill are also over-acidic (perhaps to a lesser degree), and will become sick, in time, unless decisive and persistent action is taken to counteract this acid condition.

That’s where Ph Plus comes in. Ph Plus is more than just an Antacid, pH Plus Alkaline Capsules contain :

Calcium Carbonate;

Calcium is needed by the body for healthy bones, muscles, nervous system, and heart. Calcium carbonate also is used as an antacid to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and stomach upset.

Potassium Bicarbonate;

Potassium is a mineral that is found naturally in foods and is necessary for many normal functions of your body, especially the beating of your heart. Potassium bicarbonate is used to prevent or to treat a potassium deficiency (hypokalemia).

Sodium Bicarbonate;

Sodium bicarbonate is an antacid that neutralizes stomach acid.

It is used to relieve heartburn and indigestion. Sodium bicarbonate is also used to make the blood and urine less acidic.

Magnesium Bicarbonate;

Magnesium is needed for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. It helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, keeps heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system, and keeps bones strong. Magnesium also helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure, and is known to be involved in energy metabolism and protein synthesis.

Echinacea;

Is a Native American medicinal plant. Echinacea contains active substances that enhance the activity of the immune system, relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and have hormonal, antiviral, and antioxidant effects.

Chickweed;

Is a plant that is nutrient rich and contain the following, Ascorbic-acid, Beta-carotene, Calcium, Coumarins, Genistein, Gamma-linolenic-acid, Flavonoids, Hentriacontanol, Magnesium, Niacin, Oleic-acid, Potassium, Riboflavin, Rutin, Selenium, Triterpenoid saponins, Thiamin, and Zinc.

Chamomile;

Chamomile is a flowering plant. It has a long history of use in Europe for digestive ailments. The active constituents of chamomile have anti-inflammatory properties, and ease spasm and discomfort in the digestive tract. It is also very relaxing!

Dandelion Root;

Dandelion is a natural diuretic that increases urine production by promoting the excretion of salts and water from the kidney. Dandelion may be used for a wide range of conditions requiring mild diuretic treatment, such as poor digestion, liver disorders, and high blood pressure. One advantage of dandelion is that dandelion is a source of potassium, a nutrient often lost through the use of other natural and synthetic diuretics. Studies have also reported that dandelion root may help improve liver and gallbladder function.

Gentian Root;

Gentian is an herbal medicine used to treat digestive problems, such as an upset stomach, heartburn, flatulence, and colic. It is also used to improve appetite and is a great anti inflammatory

Burdock Root;

Burdock root has often been used to purify the blood by removing toxins that can build up in blood. Traditionally, burdock has been used as a remedy for measles, arthritis, tonsillitis, viruses like colds, throat pain, and as a diuretic. In modern times, burdock is also used in oncology and to treat many other serious health problems.

Protease 1600;

Protease is the digestive enzyme needed to digest protein. The proteins are broken down to their basic building blocks – amino acids. It is also valuable in assisting the body to fight infections from viruses, fungi, parasites and bacteria.

If pH is really important to good health, then pH Plus is essential to establishing and maintaining pH balance in the body. And effective immediately, this cutting-edge product is now available on Amazon.Com. The product is also a perfect complement to O2 Plus Stabilized Oxygen Drops, available from Liberty Health Network on Amazon.Com. Together they effectively address the two critical elements in chronic illness, an acid pH and lack of oxygen.

In addition to pHPlus, LHN offers the following products best selling age reversing products: Beau Visage Non Surgical Facelift Mask; Beau Visage Facial Herbal Toner with Hyaluronic Acid and Witch Hazel (2 Ingredients recommended by TV’s Dr. Oz); Beau Visage Facial Cleanser; Beau Visage Anti Aging Moisturizer.

ProZymaCleanse does contain:

Bifidobacterium Longum 5MG. Bifidobacterium longum is a species of Gram-positive anaerobic branched rod-shaped bacterium which can be found in the intestines of infant humans. They inhibit the growth of gram negative bacteria by producing lactic acid, and digest the complex sugars in human breast milk. Due to its importance, its genome was sequenced in 2002.

Lactobacillus Casei .62MG. Lactobacillus casei is a species of genus Lactobacillus found in the human intestine and mouth. As a lactic acid producer, it has been found to assist in the propagation of desirable bacteria. This particular species of lactobacillus is documented to have a wide pH and temperature range, and complements the growth of L. acidophilus, a producer of the enzyme amylase (a carbohydrate-digesting enzyme). It is known to improve digestion and reduce lactose intolerance and constipation.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus 12.5MG. Lactobacillus acidophilus (meaning acid-loving milk-bacterium) is a species in the genus Lactobacillus. L. acidophilus is a homo-fermentative species, fermenting sugars into lactic acid, which grows readily at rather low pH values (below pH 5.0) and has an optimum growth temperature of 30 ?C (86 ?F). L. acidophilus occurs naturally in the human and animal gastrointestinal tract, mouth, and vagina.. Some strains of L. acidophilus may be considered to have probiotic characteristics . These strains are commercially used in many dairy products, sometimes together with S. salivarius ssp. thermophilus and Lactobacillus delbrueckii ssp. bulgaricus in the production of acidophilus-type yogurt.

?

L. acidophilus is part of the normal vaginal flora. The acid produced by L. acidophilus in the vagina may help to control the growth of the fungus Candida albicans, thus helping to prevent vaginal yeast infections. The same beneficial effect has been observed in cases of oral or gastrointestinal Candidiasis infections. Certain spermicides and contraceptive creams can kill L. acidophilus in the vagina, clearing the path to possible yeast infections.

?

Lactobacillus Salivarius 1.2MG. Lactobacillus is a genus of Gram-positive facultative anaerobic or microaerophilic bacteria. They are a major part of the lactic acid bacteria group, named as such because most of its members convert lactose and other sugars to lactic acid. They are common and usually benign. In humans they are present in the vagina and the gastrointestinal tract, where they are symbiotic and make up a small portion of the gut flora. Many species are prominent in decaying plant material. The production of lactic acid makes its environment acidic, which inhibits the growth of some harmful bacteria.

Pancreatin 325MG. Pancreatin or Pancrelipase (trade names Creon (Solvay), Nutrizym (Merck), Pancrease HL (Janssen-Cilag) and Pancrex (Paines & Byrne)) is a mixture of several digestive enzymes produced by the exocrine cells of the pancreas. It is composed of amylase, lipase and protease. This mixture is used to treat conditions in which pancreatic secretions are deficient, such as surgical pancreatectomy, pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis. It has been claimed to help with food allergies, celiac disease, autoimmune disease, cancer and weight loss. Pancreatin is sometimes called “pancreatic acid”, although it is neither a single chemical substance nor an acid.

?

Pancreatin contains the pancreatic enzymes trypsin, amylase and lipase. A similar mixture of enzymes is sold as pancrelipase, which contains more active lipase enzyme than does pancreatin. The trypsin found in pancreatin works to hydrolyze proteins into oligopeptides; amylase hydrolyzes starches into oligosaccharides and the disaccharide maltose; and lipase hydrolyzes triglycerides into fatty acids and glycerols. Pancreatin is an effective enzyme supplement for replacing missing pancreatic enzymes, and aids in the digestion of foods in cases of pancreatic insufficiency.

?

Inulin 100MG. Inulins are a group of naturally occurring polysaccharides produced by many types of plants. They belong to a class of fibers known as fructans. Inulin is used by some plants as a means of storing energy and is typically found in roots or rhizomes. Most plants that synthesize and store inulin do not store other materials such as starch.

Psyllium Husk Powder 500MG. Fibre supplements are considered to be a form of a subgroup of functional dietary fiber, and in the United States are defined by the Institute of Medicine (IOM). According to the IOM, functional fiber “consists of isolated, non-digestible carbohydrates that have beneficial physiological effects in humans”.

Fiber supplements are widely available, and can be found in forms such as powders, tablets and capsules. Consumption of fiber supplements may be for: improving dietary intake, lowering blood cholesterol, alleviating irritable bowel syndrome, reducing the risk of colon cancer, and increasing feelings of satiety.

In addition to ProZymaCleanse, LHN offers the following products best selling age reversing products: Beau Visage Non Surgical Facelift Mask; Beau Visage Facial Herbal Toner with Hyaluronic Acid and Witch Hazel (2 Ingredients recommended by TV’s Dr. Oz); Beau Visage Facial Cleanser; Beau Visage Anti Aging Moisturizer. All four of the above products may be purchased individually, or in a complete set on Amazon.Com

LHN also offers several of the company’s best-selling Mortechem-Free Nutritional Supplements on Amazon such as AlliSTAR Premium Garlic Supplement; ProZymaCleanse Daily Probiotic, Digestive Enzyme, and Fiber Supplement; O2 Plus Saturated Oxygen Drops; SlimEZ Weight Loss Supplement Capsules; MGA Plus Mangosteen, GoJi, Acai, and Pomegranate Capsules which play an important role in turning back the hands of time.

Mount Sinai Children’s Environmental Health Center Publishes a List of the Top Ten Toxic Chemicals Suspected to Cause Autism and Learning Disabilities

New York, NY (PRWEB) April 25, 2012

An editorial published today in the prestigious journal Environmental Health Perspectives calls for increased research to identify possible environmental causes of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders in America’s children and presents a list of ten target chemicals including which are considered highly likely to contribute to these conditions.

Philip Landrigan, MD, MSc, a world-renowned leader in children?s environmental health and Director of the Children’s Environmental Health Center (CEHC) at Mount Sinai School of Medicine, co-authored the editorial, entitled ?A Research Strategy to Discover the Environmental Causes of Autism and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities,? along with Luca Lambertini, PhD, MPH, MSc, Assistant Professor of Preventive Medicine at Mount Sinai and Linda Birnbaum, Director of the National Institute OF Environmental Health Sciences.

The editorial was published alongside four other papers ? each suggesting a link between toxic chemicals and autism. Both the editorial and the papers originated at a conference hosted by CEHC in December 2010.

The National Academy of Sciences reports that 3 percent of all neurobehavioral disorders in children, such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), are caused by toxic exposures in the environment and that another 25 percent are caused by interactions between environmental factors and genetics. But the precise environmental causes are not yet known. While genetic research has demonstrated that ASD and certain other neurodevelopmental disorders have a strong hereditary component, many believe that environmental causes may also play a role ? and Mount Sinai is leading an effort to understand the role of these toxins in a condition that now affects between 400,000 and 600,000 of the 4 million children born in the United States each year.

?A large number of the chemicals in widest use have not undergone even minimal assessment of potential toxicity and this is of great concern,? says Dr. Landrigan. ?Knowledge of environmental causes of neurodevelopmental disorders is critically important because they are potentially preventable.?

CEHC developed the list of ten chemicals found in consumer products that are suspected to contribute to autism and learning disabilities to guide a research strategy to discover potentially preventable environmental causes. The top ten chemicals are:

1.????Lead

2.????Methylmercury

3.????PCBs

4.????Organophosphate pesticides

5.????Organochlorine pesticides

6.????Endocrine disruptors

7.????Automotive exhaust

8.????Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons

9.????Brominated flame retardants

10.????Perfluorinated compounds

In addition to the editorial, the other four papers also call for increased research to identify the possible environmental causes of autism in America’s children. The first paper, written by a team at the University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee, found preliminary evidence linking smoking during pregnancy to Asperger’s disorder and other forms of high-functioning autism. Two papers, written by researchers at the University of California – Davis, show that PCBs disrupt early brain development. The final paper, also by a team at UC – Davis, suggests further exploring the link between pesticide exposure and autism.

Natural Health Expert Manu Kalia Introduces Revolutionary New Weight Loss Product


Oakland, California (PRWEB) July 13, 2012

Obesity is a medical condition wherein a person’s body has accumulated excessive amounts of fat; compared to people who are simply overweight, people with obesity face serious health risks. To help people lose weight naturally and avoid the adverse effects of obesity, Physical Therapist, Clinical Ayurveda Herbalist, and Exercise Science Specialist Manu Kalia recently introduced Weight Care, a specially formulated weight loss solution that can improve overall health.

According to the United States? Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the 2009-2010 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey revealed that more than one-third or 35.7% of U.S. adults are obese. This means that this same number of adults is currently at risk of other serious medical conditions including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, high cholesterol, and reproductive problems. In addition to these health risks, obese individuals are also subject to the emotional pain and suffering caused by lower self-esteem and lack of acceptance from society, which are often associated with having excessive body weight.

Natural health authority Manu Kalia, founder of Tridosha Wellness and formulator of TriSport Herbal Formulas, thus created Weight Care capsules, the safer and more effective solution for losing weight and boosting metabolism.

What makes Weight Care the better alternative to other products in the weight loss market? Manu Kalia explains that his capsules are formulated with powerful herbs that have been used in Ayurveda (Indian Holistic Medicine) for thousands of years. Special ingredients such as Azadirachta indica, Shilajit, and Picrorhiza kurroa help improve digestion, detoxify, and open fine channels within the body to facilitate an improved flow of nutrients and removal of toxins.

What’s more, these herbs have unique “fat scraping” properties that remove blockages, burn fat, and improve overall health. And, more importantly, Weight Care does not contain chemical stimulants that artificially and unsafely increase one’s metabolism.

Manu Kalia explains, ?I have had excellent results using Weight Care for patients/clients who have sluggish digestion and slow metabolism, have poor self-control with food, have tried all sorts of diets and exercise routines without success, and are looking to reduce risk of disease.”

With 20 years of expertise in the medical and fitness fields as an Exercise Science Expert, Physical Therapist, and Ayurveda Herbalist, Manu Kalia successfully combines the ancient wisdom of Ayurveda with western medicine concepts for treating patients with complex orthopedic and neurological injuries. Weight Care is the product of his specialization in treating injuries, developing holistic medical treatments, and formulating natural remedies for wellness and fitness.

Weight Care Ayurvedic Herbal Formula enjoys a 5/5 Star Average Customer Review rating on Amazon.com. According to Ana Henley, one of the reviewers, “A few months ago I was feeling particularly bloated, heavy and sluggish. I wanted to find a supplement to help me feel lighter, cleaner. I liked that this one targeted weight loss, metabolism booster AND detox. That was exactly what I wanted and a hard combination to find.”

Other satisfied reviewers on Amazon.com had good things to say about how the product affected their bodies and eating habits. Cristina M. said, “This really did help me rebalance my eating habits. I don’t have the craving to eat as often, and feel more satisfied when I do eat. The best part is that they don’t make me feel strange, sick and don’t have any negative effect on my stomach like some other pills that are out there. This is a win-win product!”

A customer named Eric L. had this to say: “From now on this is the only weight loss formula I need to use. I must say it is very good. It is a safe formula that has gotten me some nice results. I take it twice a day before food and have lost about 9 pounds over the past two months. The best part about the product is that it is also a natural detox. I feel lighter, have more energy and don’t feel as hungry anymore. I think if you take this product regularly for a few months you will be happy as I am.?

For individuals aiming to battle obesity, prevent serious associated health risks, and lose weight naturally and fast, Weight Care by Manu Kalia is just the right product to help them eliminate toxins, burn fat, and achieve proper nutrition for optimal health.

Houston, TX (PRWEB) July 17, 2012

The Meehl Foundation, which created a highly successful transitional residential group home known as the Meehl House, is expanding its reach in the mental health community by offering an intensive outpatient program. The goal is to provide a strong resource for clients in the surrounding area who have been unable to achieve long-term mental wellness elsewhere. The new program made its debut in mid-June at the foundation?s facility in Brazoria, Texas.

This new IOP provides both group and individual services. These services will focus on adult clients needing treatment for Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, Anxiety, Depression and Substance Abuse. Similar to the residential program, the outpatient program will consist of the Meehl Foundation?s Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Skills Training with Life Coaching and personal development programs.

The new IOP provided by The Meehl Foundation will give working professionals throughout Southeast Texas the opportunity to take steps in treatment of mental health issues and substance abuse without interfering with their employment and family obligations. Options for outpatient treatment times can be discussed during an initial consultation. Family education is also encouraged to help family members learn how to resolve issues connected to the mental illness or substance abuse of a loved one receiving outpatient care.

The Meehl House, located along the Gulf Coast in Brazoria, Texas, has been serving clients since 1998.

Summer Vacations Are In Full-Swing; Dr. Leonard Hertko, United Security Life and Health, Emphasizes Why Proper Hydration Is Important and Provides Tips For Safe Travels.


(PRWEB) July 31, 2012

It is vital to ensure that during the hot, humid oppressive summer days proper hydration is sustained. In addition to proper fluid intake, there are a several precautions and preventative measures that can ensure outdoor activities are safe. Dr. Leonard Hertko, Medical Director, United Security Life and Health Insurance Company(USL&H) outlines the seriousness of proper hydration as well as precautions and preventative measures to keep travels safe.

?Without proper hydration, especially for the elderly and children/infants, risk heat-related illnesses, or in extreme cases, even death,? began Dr. Hertko. ?Every cell in the human body requires water. Hydration is central to the most basic physiological functions such as regulating blood pressure and body temperature, hydration and digestion. Water plays many important roles within the body. Water provides a vehicle for other nutrients called electrolytes. Electrolytes include minerals such as sodium, potassium and calcium. Water in the body transports nutrients and carries waste away from the body cells. It also helps regulate body temperature by redistributing heat from active tissues to the skin and coat the body through perspiration.?

Dr. Hertko stresses that proper hydration should start before physical activity begins or spending time outdoors during extremely hot weather conditions and should continue after activity has ended. How much a typical adult or child should be drinking depends on their body weight. The body is made up of 70% water, and needs about a dozen 8-ounce glasses of water a day to maintain healthy levels. Dr. Hertko also emphasized that it is important to think in terms of protein, complex carbohydrates and vitamins when planning out snacks or a meal before prolonged activity. It is also important to allow plenty of time for digestion before outdoor activities.

?Some of the key signs of dehydration include dry mouth, fatigue, dizziness, low blood pressure, dark urine, crying without tears and headache,? shared Dr. Hertko. ?Water is the best and most natural way to stop dehydration and increase electrolyte levels. Sports drinks are also an effective means to hydrate the body, but the contain high sugar levels. Coconut water is a great way to get electrolytes into the body without the added sugar,? concluded Dr. Hertko.

Dr. Hertko recommends the following precautions and preventative measures. A so called ?survival kit? can be very useful and should include:


????Sunblock of at least 30 SPF

????Band-Aids

???? A roll of tape

????3X3 or 4X4 gauze pads

????ACE bandages of 3″ and 4″ widths

????Antibiotic Ointment ( Polysporin-OTC)

????A cloth arm sling; inexpensive and available at all major drug stores and is especially important when traveling with young adventurous travelers.

????A list of your prescriptions

????Supply of aspirin, Ibuprofen or Tylenol

????Benadryl; to prevent a reaction to a bug or insect bite. It is also important to bring an Epipen if someone in the group requires one.

????Proper bug sprays; if bug repellant contains deet ensure it is safe to apply to small children or infants.

????A check up on your tetanus (lockjaw) immunization. If the last tetanus shot was 10 years, it is good idea to have a tetanus toxoid booster before leaving. If a travler suffers a dirty penetrating wound and the last tetanus shot was received more than 10 years ago, proper wound care and a tetanus booster along with an injection of tetanus antitoxin is recommended.

????Adequate water amounts for each traveler to remain hydrated

Bel Marra Health Supports Recent Research that Shows a Link Between Cutting Dietary Fat Intake and Reduction in Menopausal Symptoms


Toronto, ON (PRWEB) July 23, 2012

Bel Marra Health, well known for offering high-quality, specially formulated vitamins and nutritional supplements, supports recent research that shows a link between cutting dietary fat intake and reduction in menopausal symptoms.

In a recent study published in the journal Menopause, the impact of lifestyle intervention among women experiencing menopausal weight gain were examined in terms of diet and exercise. This study was initiated to identify an effective scheme to prevent menopausal weight gain to decrease the chances of developing medical disorders that are commonly associated with excessive body weight. Menopausal weight gain has been linked to the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and inferior bone health.

The study involved approximately 38 subjects with menopausal weight gain and an average age of 62.6 years, who were randomly assigned to one of four intervention schemes that consisted of either a low-calorie diet, a fully body exercise program, or both. A control group was also included in the study, which did not introduce any low-calorie diet or exercise program to the study participants. This study on lifestyle interventions addressing menopausal weight gain was conducted for approximately 12 weeks.

The results of the study showed that following a low-fat and low-sugar diet, which generates a small amount of calories, is effective enough in improving the symptoms of menopausal weight gain. The study participants showed an improved metabolic profile, and lower body weight after 12 weeks of participating in the program. Improved results using a combination of diet and exercise were also observed, although the effect on weight loss was much more pronounced in the low-fat and low-sugar diet group.

Spokesperson for Bel Marra Health, Dr. Victor Marchione says, ?Using the low-calorie diet, the study participants also showed a decrease in the blood cholesterol levels and arterial blood pressure.?

This recent medical report has shown that the use of a low-fat and low-sugar diet may facilitate in the control of weight gain that is associated with menopause. CEO of Bel Marra Health Jim Chiang says, ?Although changes in the body, including the termination of production of estrogen, during menopause may be significant enough to affect the normal physiology of the body, it is still possible to improve one?s general health condition through diet.?

New Health Benefits of Super Food ?Spice? Cinnamon Uncovered

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) June 21, 2012

The healing powers of the natural spice Cinnamon has been well documented in recent years. However, recent medical research as well as new information posted at Health and Wellness portal BeWellBuzz.com, have uncovered several new key medical benefits of one of the world?s most versatile and sweet tasting natural herbs including new ways of reducing blood sugar levels for people who suffer with Type 2 Diabetes.

Cinnamon is classified as an herb which is found underneath the bark of a Cinnamomum tree commonly grown in South East Asia and Sri Lanka. There are two types of cinnamon commonly used in Western Culture marketplace known as Ceylon and Cassia. Recent research conducted by the American Diabetes Association uncovered information which has shown how effective cinnamon can be towards reducing blood sugar levels for Diabetic patients.

In a recent study conducted by Dr. Alam Khan at the American Diabetes Association, a group of sixty people were tested to see how the introduction of cinnamon could potentially decrease glucose levels in the blood. The results of the study showed that a total of 40 out of 60 people tested, (66 percent) showed a decrease in glucose and LDL and HDL Cholesterol when consuming up to 6 grams of cinnamon on a daily basis.

The results of this study confirmed that intake of 1, 3, or 6 grams of cinnamon per day reduces serum glucose, triglyceride, LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol in people with type 2 Diabetes and suggest that when people who suffer with type 2 Diabetes include cinnamon in their daily diet this could reduce risk factors often associated with diabetes and even cardiovascular diseases.

Cinnamon is a versatile herb and is used for many health treatments and ailments beyond Diabetes. According to Dr. David Jockers from the Exodus Health Center in Kennesaw, GA, cinnamon is one of the most powerful antioxidants available naturally. It has the second highest content of antioxidant property among all spices. It contains ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity), which oxidizes and neutralizes the Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) into harmless compounds that can be easily metabolized.

According to the study by Peter Ward from University of Michigan, Cinnamon can significantly reduce inflammation often associated with pain, redness, swelling and heat. Cinnamon contains cinnamaldehyde that is used to arrest the release of inflammatory agents from the cell membrane. Cinnamon can also be used as a great way to treat digestive problems such as gas and bloating based on author Laura Dolson, the writer of ?Low Carb Diets? guide.

These recent medical discoveries have concluded that cinnamon may in fact be one of the newest super foods which use natural ingredients to help reduce several of the common ailments common in Western Culture today.
