The Secret Antioxidant - Better than Green tea!

By Dr. Gouri Maharaj (BPE MH MEd PhD)
Doctor of Naturopathy


The pomegranate fruit is found throughout Iran and spreads all the way to the Himalayas in Northern India. It was later cultivated and naturalized over the whole of the Mediterranean region and tropical parts of Africa. Pomegranate has a long storage life. The fruit is eaten in its raw state and may be used to make exotic dishes. It is considered as a symbol of health, fertility and rebirth.


Pomegranate juice (ALL NATURAL NOT FROM CONCENTRATE), apart from being used as a beverage, is made into jellies, and cold and hot sauce. It may also be used to flavor cakes and pastries. Pomegranate juice may be made into syrup and wine. The juice comes from squeezing the sweet part of the fruit. This juice has been found to have high levels of antioxidants. If you think green tea is good then pomegranate juice has been proven to be at least three times better than red wine and green tea (put together).


Official planting of pomegranate was implemented around 4000 B.C. It has been widely used in folk medicine for hundreds of years. All natural Pomegranate (NOT CONCENTRATE OR MIXED WITH OTHER FRUITS, ETC.) guards the body against the substances that cause premature aging, heart diseases, Alzheimer's, cancer, and many other diseases.


Research has pointed out that ALL NATURAL pomegranate juice may be the best thing to keep your skin clear and glowing. It may also play a key role in prostate problems and will clearly maintain healthy arteries and circulation. Of course it has fiber, potassium and vitamin C; along with many other trace minerals. Yes it is also used to make exotic drinks.


All natural pomegranate juice(NOT FROM CONCENTRATE OR ADDED TO OTHER JUICES) is safe and healthy. It is one of the greatest and most economical sources of antioxidants. Studies are being conducted to find out other benefits of this wonderful and healthy juice.

Ayurvedic Medicine

By Dr Gouri Maharaj (BPE Med. MH PhD)






Ayurvedic medicine teaches how to substantially impact on our quality of life through the choices and interpretations that we make. The reduction of toxins and free radicals from the body leads to an increase in the absorption of nutrition which transforms our minds, intellect and bodies.


The science of ayurveda is an inexhaustible reservoir of knowledge while it is the oldest system of health care known to civilization. Its scientific approach has created something so unique about it that when modern medicine fails to deliver, the timeless features ayurveda takes over and keeps the tradition of proper healing aloft.


The more one probes into ayurvedic treatments and practices, the more one becomes impressed by its logic, while being charmed by the power and completeness of its comprehensive understanding of life.


It teaches us that life is perceived as a microcosm or intimate reflection of the universe. Ayurvedic medicine is the only healthcare system with comprehensive principles and practices to purify the body, mind and spirit while at the same time, it restores balance with the laws of nature. It is the only method that has achieved complete remission of disease in the many patients who have been deemed beyond help by western medicine.


Ayurveda is the unique science of purification and rejuvenation that can make a person with relatively normal health produce a dramatically greater state of health, happiness and fulfillment. It aims to establish the ability to live every aspect of life to the fullest, in complete conscious connection to nature's infinite intelligence. This may be reflected in a state of enlightenment. Ayurvedic medicine stresses on education instead of medication.

The Healthiest Juices - Part 1





Juicing is an efficient way of saving time and fulfilling our daily health requirements at the same time. Thus we stay healthy and have more time to do other things. But sometimes the juices we make may not be filled with the correct amount of vitamins, minerals, and nutrition that we may need. So we have put together a dynamic list of powerful combinations of juices for public use. Other sites may charge you for this information, but our goal is not monetary. We want the entire world to be healthy and what better way than to share it on the World Wide Web.


Here are some of the best tasting and healthiest juices that can be made:


Apple Juice






An apple a day keeps the dentist/doctor away right? How about a juice filled with it? Well apples are truly a nutrition packed fruit. Contained within this delicious and popular fruit lies vitamins A, B1, B2 and C as well as valuable mineral salts.


What to combine this juice with?


Vegetable Juices are the best combination to make with Apple Juice.


Why?


Because of the bland taste of vegetable juice many people need to add something tasty in order to drink it. When combined, Apple Juice dramatically improves the taste of vegetable juices decreasing the sometimes bitter taste substantially.


Important Preparation Tips:



  • Do not peel the apples. Peeling the apple will take away some of the best nutrients within it.
  • Wash the apple thoroughly in clean cold water and cut it into portions that can fit into your juicer.
  • Do not use waxed or polished apples. These kinds of apples can diminish the effectiveness of the cutter inside the juicer and therefore should not be used.



Beet Juice




Fresh Beet Juice is a beauty to behold. With a beautiful red finish this potent fruit creates an even spectacular looking end result. Within this abnormal vegetable lies the key to a proper and powerful diet. Beets contain a potent amount of dietary fiber, protein, vitamin C, and iron. Beet juice has also been found to lower blood pressure. This combination of nutrition is a perfect addition to one's diet and is one of the highly recommended juices by GSMHEALTH.COM.


What to combine this juice with?


A highly delicious and surprisingly tasty combination is beets combined with the juice of oranges. A very good blend will be 2/3 oranges and 1/3 beet to create a wonderfully healthy combination. Beet juice can also be combined with carrot and celery blends  to promote a healthy lifestyle.


why?


Not only are oranges tasty they are rich in vitamin C, therefore combined with Beet juice can make for a delicious blend of healthy liquids. Beet juice can also be combined with carrot and celery blends to create a powerful healthy blend of vegetables that can help to prevent diseases and strengthen the immune system.


Important Preparation Tips:



  • Brushing the skin of the beet root lightly is recommended. This will allow the beet to retain its nutrients while still cleaning it.
  • Make sure to wash it in cold water and cut it into convenient proportions that can fit into the juicer.
  • Consult your doctor before using any excessive amounts of beet juice in its pure state.

Cabbage Juice




Cabbage has been known for its nutritional and medicinal values. It has also been discovered that cabbage can reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer such as, colon cancer and breast cancer. Cabbage also helps to promote weight loss in some people because it contains vitamin C, and B. It also keeps skin healthy and beautiful because of its vitamin A and E contents. Partaking of juiced cabbage is known to assist in curing stomach and intestinal ulcers. Cabbage also contains fiber and iron which make the digestive system function optimally.


What to combine this juice with?


A mixture of cabbage and carrot juice can be a very powerful juice.


Why?


Not only will this mixture help those with sensitive stomachs, it will also give energy and revitalize the body.


Important Preparation Tips:


Wash the leaves of the cabbage under cold water thoroughly before juicing so that most of the contaminants have been removed.


Carrot Juice




Carrots, like the previously mentioned fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, and C. In addition, carrots contain a potent amount of iron and iodine. They are among the best fortifying agents around. 


What to combine this juice with?


An exquisite mixture of juices are 2/3 carrots and 1/3 celery. Another beautiful combination is mixing 1/2 apple juice with 1/2 carrot juice. 


Why?


By combining 2/3 carrot juice with 1/3 celery juice, a healthy and tasteful mixture is achieved. To improve the flavor of this juice adding a few drops of lemon juice will do the trick. 1/2 apple juice and 1/2 carrot juice can also be a tasty and nutritional treat.


Important preparation tips:



  • Select large firm carrots because they posses the most vitamins and minerals than the smaller, light-yellow carrots.
  • Carrots should also be vigorously brushed and washed thoroughly.
  • Do not peel carrots or cut across, instead snip off the ends and insert into the juicer.

The Miracle Juicer - The Best Selling Juicer





Fruits and vegetables are an essential part of our daily diet yet most of us never include any of them in our diet. It is very understandable since there are so many fruits and vegetables that we need to partake of that we can't partake of them all at one time. Even if we eat certain fruits and vegetables we will still need to partake of grains and other protein rich foods for a complete nutritional diet. Therefore how do we balance all this in one daily diet?


The best and healthiest way to get all the nutrients in fruits and vegetables at one time is to juice. Buying a juicing machine is no simple task.

Making Our Food Our Medicine

By Dr. Gouri Maharaj (BPE.MH.MEd.PhD)



There is evidence that the use of wheat causes damage to the intestine and other organs. Many people who use a lot of wheat may suffer from irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, ulcerative colitis, Chron's disease and many other problems. No one has yet spoken a word about banning wheat! The result of these problems is difficulty in absorption of mainly iron, calcium, and Vitamin D. The end result is that such an individual would be prone to osteoporosis and anemia. The long-term effect is many types of cancers, autoimmune diseases, psychiatric conditions, liver disease, sperm abnormalities, vasculitis, arthritis, thyroid problems and a chain of many more problems. Just imagine what a diet with a high level wheat can do to us.



When I tell my diabetic patients to stay away from wheat and its products for some time it is because they have utilized too much in their lifetime to cause metabolic imbalances which resulted in many chronic situations. Making our food our medicine is the greatest thing  we can do for our body. The body is the first gift that has been given to us. We need to cherish this unique gift in order to live a complete life. The choices that we make and even those that we do not make as we walk the path of life, have effects upon us. Let us make those choices that will have positive effects upon our life, the life of others and society as a whole. In order to choose wisely we must have knowledge. Do not underestimate the power of knowledge and at the same time do not ignore the devastation of lack of it.

Natural medicine has played an important role in every culture and will continue of t to do so in spite of all the criticisms that have been given to it. It may be the only firm base of healthy practice and better health for the future.

An 'All Natural' Story

By Dr. Gouri Maharaj (BPE.MH.MEd.PhD)






Your busy doctor did not even read it but said to you, "I have a new drug would you like to try it out? Use it for two weeks and let me know how you feel. It's free." You take it and start using it. This drug may or may not be the best for you but hey it is free so take it. What could you lose?(only your health!) You are already sick.


The naturalist on the other hand has used his herbal preparation himself and on others and has learnt about it not from a manufacturer but from professionals and research from the past. This is a big difference and this is the main reason why many doctors argue against natural medicine. They feel they know so little about the drug that they prescribe (only what is told to them by their superiors and the drug companies) while these naturalists have studied the origin of plants, their properties along with the synergistic and galvanizing effects of herbal combinations (not as a product but as a herb, not from a company but from teachers and researchers). It could mean a great difference to their integrity. If this is not so then they will have no true reason to speak ill about something of which their knowledge is limited (even more limited than that of a layman).


The true doctor will do everything to cause no harm to their patient. Certainly that will mean not prescribing a drug with so many side effects (except of course if there is no other way out). If there are alternatives then I strongly suggest that these be explored provided the time and expertise is available. In other words any life threatening situations may require immediate attention and in this case a drug may be the only answer for many reasons. In other situations it may be of great benefit for the patient to seek alternative approaches to the process of healing.


Alternative medicine has been practiced since ancient times to cure the seek and heal the dying. It has been used to reverse illnesses medical sciences could not cure. It has prevented fatal illnesses and has defied all the so called 'experts' who say its nothing but 'dried up plants' in a capsule. Natural medicine is more than a science. It is a total 180 degree turn from conventional medicine. The only problem that this may pose to you is, making a choice. Choosing drugs with numerous side effects or herbs with healing side effects? The choice is yours, but as stated above, if chosen too late then drugs will definitely be your choice willing or non willing.
