Four Super Seeds You Probably Forgot About

I was recently talking with a friend of mine about healthy foods and alternatives for nuts for folks that have nut allergies. She mentioned that certain seeds can be safely consumed and still provide the necessary nutrients that nuts carry.  Then, it came to me:  Seeds represent the starting point of life. The image of a seed represents the very definition of a new beginning not to mention how tasty they can be. Seeds are not just for planting they are a great food source as well. There are numerous edible seeds available. I'm going to highlight three common seeds and one formerly  controversial: Hemp Seeds Contrary to popular belief, these seeds have not been proven potent enough to make you high. Cannabis (marijuana) contains about 5% to 20% delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC (a key compound that induces the "high" associated with the plant), hemp seeds contain a maximum of 3/10 of 1% THC, which is said to not be nearly enough to produce any psy

Sneezin' Away

What is an allergic reaction?  Essentially, this is when the body reacts defensively to a perceived threat and fights the allergens in the same way it does a viral infection. Eating foods "out of season and region" may also contribute to allergic reactions.  You may ask, "What's wrong with eating an apple in June?" Nothing.  Unless, of course, you have a food allergy.... Most produce  is transported worldwide by trucks & trains for hundreds (or in some cases thousands of miles if by boat) in partially opened containers. photo credit: DSC_0004 via photopin (license) Based on the time of year, the container may come in contact with in-season allergens like mold, poison ivy, poison oak, various types of pollen.  These allergens are constantly in the environment, but may be more prevalent in some regions during certain times of the year. This can be partially remedied by washing the produce thoroughly before consumption. However, in

The cosmetics craze continued throughout the centuries into the 1900’s and began to see the earliest of the cosmetics industry being formed. Mrs. Hemming’s House of Cyclax in London sold many products that you can still buy today from world famous companies like Avon. 

Beauty Is History (Part Two)

Hundreds of years  after the Egyptian empire fell, definitions of beauty became re-defined. Ancient middle eastern fashion trends gave way to progressive European styles. Great Britain took over and set the new trends in beauty and style. The craze  all across Europe  was a pale  skin tone . 1.) Tanned, sun-kissed  skin  was  typically associated with  being a commoner who worked out in the field  the whole day   along with  her  spouse . The  elite   level   women   obviously   would not   engage in   actual physical  labor  along those lines   and therefore, they remained indoors and typically had pale skin as a result of a lack of sun exposure.     A pallid appearance (which now indicates poor health) was, at the time, a key indication of immense wealth. Once you   acquired   an abundance of   wealth ,  then you definitely  didn’t  need to   labor .  Consequently,  a pale  skin tone  was  crucial to   many wealthy people .

Reported herbal usage was highest among Asians and those of Pacific-Asian heritage, at nearly 40%.  This random sampling, however, does not in ANY way signify the actual frequent use of complementary of herbal remedies by the general public over the last few decades.

Medicine Through Time (GCSE History)

This is a video that I recently discovered on YouTube covering the slow, but consistent evolution of medicine & medical practices throughout the ages.  I'd like for you to pay special attention at the 4:13 mark of the video as it briefly covers a particular accomplishment of Dr. Joseph Lister (1827-1912)  which I alluded to in a previous article .
