An Ounce of Prevention is Better than a Ton of Cure!

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

Doctor of Naturopathy

In recent times it has become difficult to turn on the television or radio without seeing or hearing about a new discovery and how it is able to make you more healthy and fit. Almost every newspaper and certainly the internet give us access to these interesting phenomena. They all go to the extreme to prove that the healthy foods that we are eating can prevent diseases and even slow down the aging process. 

There is a dark side of this story. The amount of people who have become ill by diet-related illness and the rate at which obesity is rising is really alarming! Today the illness that were once labeled as age-related, like diabetes, Hypertension, certain types of heart diseases and even certain types of cancer, are now affecting the younger people. The notion therefore that these are diseases related to aging is now seen to be totally obsolete. 

It does not mean that it is the end of life if you have a chronic disease. Remember, we are all destined to die. It is just a matter of time. However we can make choices of how we would like to live. Every health condition is a series of signals that our bodies are sending to tell us that something is not right and we should make all efforts to correct the things that need to be corrected. Our body in the true sense is giving us a wake-up call to initiate a healing process this is absolutely necessary for the survival of our billions of cells. 

Regardless of our age or the disease that we may suffer from, it is possible for us to regain better health. However we must be ready to do it. 

Here are some interesting facts that we should remember:

1) In less than 10 seconds more than 50,000 cells dies in our bodies. As you read this sentence another 50, 000 cells have died again. 

2) Within 72 hours your stomach gets a new lining. 

3) In one year the average heart beets 40,000,000 times. 

4) The liver performs over 500 functions. 

5) Every cell in the human body is replaced in 7 years. 

6) The human body is constantly being renewed. 

7) Food is: a) medicine, b) poison, c) cellular fuel, d) information, e) immune support, f) detoxifier, g) disease, h) hormonal balance, i) free radical defense, j) glowing and beautiful skin; all wrapped in a plate of delicious disease fighting package. 

8) There are 22 key nutrients for healing your body. 

9) Food additives and certain preservatives are very dangerous to the body. 

10) Tasteless food is no good for human consumption. 

The right thing may not be easy to do but rest assured it will taste great! 

Think about how you can implement the following in your life: 

1) Get the most ‘bang per bite’ in your food. Watch your food packaging carefully. Read the labels of the things that you would like to put in your stomach. Stay away from empty calories. They will kill you faster and make you die an expensive and bitter death. 

2) Keep chemicals out. Artificial sweeteners, additives, artificial flavors, colors and preservatives. Stay away from genetically engineered foods and fast foods. You will give yourself a chance to live longer and stay healthier. 

3) Don’t pass on the pesticides. There are many chemicals that imitate estrogen. And reduces the antioxidants in food. The presence of chemicals and pesticides mimics the hydrocarbons in the body and the cells tend to cling to them. The result is building up of stubborn fat. This is more dangerous than anything else to our health status. 

4) Watch that fish. Make certain that you know the source of the fish that you are eating. Even the fish oil that you may take as supplemental in your diet. You want to know the source of fish. You could be doing more harm to yourself than goodness. The amount of mercury, lead and other contaminants that may be present in your fish or your omegas may be alarming to note. Try wild fish instead! 

5) Poultry and red meat may be a “disease house.” If you do eat them know where you get them. Today with the vast extent of diseases affecting the meat and poultry industry, you want to be cautious. The amount of growth hormones that are used in the feeds that are being made to feed our commercially prepared meats, eggs and poultry, is so much that it is causing major health problems worldwide. Look for pastured poultry, meats and eggs. 

6) Balance your cooking. Understand glycemic index. Use foods that have a low glycemic index. It will reduce the need for your body to produce high levels of insulin. Another name for insulin is “fat storage hormone.” Do you want to store fat on your body? Over 90% of the obese people in the world are producing too much insulin. Even some diabetics are producing too much insulin but a low quality. You can follow glycemic index and reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart diseases and every “westernized” disease. 

7) Refine your taste not your food. Foods that have been stripped off their proper nutrition are no good for human consumption. Refined sugars, grains, and other foods contribute to obesity, diabetes, hypertension, cancer, heart diseases, and many other health problems. Use whole grain foods! Promote healthy living. What you do in your home is what your children will see and follow. 

8) Avoid fake fats. Find out the foods that have healthy fats. Not all fats are healthy. Stay away from Trans fat. If you add one more molecule to margarine it will become plastic. No wonder so many people today get heart attacks. Fats are to be used in the right ratios. 

If you believe in GOD then your body is the first gift that has been given to you by the supreme. Are you pleased that you have gotten this precious gift? What are you doing to keep it at its best? How would you feel if you give a precious gift to someone and they just cast it by the roadside and you saw them doing it, when you gave it with a heart full of love! 

The fate of your health is in your plate. Are you ready to do something about it to change the status of your health? 

If I tell you that diabetes, Alzheimer, heart attacks, breast cancer, colon cancer, strokes, prostate cancer, premature aging, cataracts and almost every disease is preventable, would you believe me? Well I got news for all you lovely people. You can do it one bite at a time. Do you think that this statement is too good to be true? Well it is not. While many chronic diseases look different superficially, they are usually physical variations of identical underlying causes. 

This statement may even sound strange to some doctors, especially some allopathic practitioners. This is because western medicine treats the symptoms and not the cause of the problem. 

A person just does not wake up one day with diabetes or cancer or hypertension or any disease for that matter. A person did not get Alzheimer overnight! 

Every chronic disease takes years even decades of internal destructive processes before it is being diagnosed by western medical science. Your body first gets dis-comfort or as we say not at ease. It then become further dis-eased and ultimately chronic diseased. 

GSM does not promise to add years to your life but we do promise to add life to your years that is left. 

Good luck!

Mixing juices for optimal results can be tiresome, that’s why we’re here, to load your brain full of healthy, natural knowledge that you can use and pass down for a lifetime. As we continue part 2 of “The Healthiest Juices” below we start out where we left off! 

Celery Juice

Known for its strong and bitter taste, this juice may be taken in smaller quantities and may be mixed with any other juice. Celery juice contains within it, huge amounts of vitamins A, B, and C. It also contains large amounts of minerals such as calcium and sodium. People who are on strict low sodium or low salt diets should not use celery juice because it contains high amounts of natural sodium.

Cucumber Juice

Cucumbers are seen eaten without the skin, when in fact the skin is probably one of the most important parts of a cucumber. When juicing, one should leave the skin and juice the entire cucumber. Cucumbers are rich in potassium, but cucumber juice has a notoriously dull taste if consumed alone.

• Wash the cucumbers in cold water and remember to use the skin for a more nutrient rich juice! 

Dandelion Green Juice

Dandelion juice is rich in vitamins A and B1 (thiamine). It also contains high amounts of magnesium and important trace elements. 

What to combine this juice with?

Dandelion green juice should be mixed with other green juices such as, cucumber, celery, lettuce, cabbage, spinach, parsley, and leafy green juices.

Important Preparation Tips:

• Wash the dandelion leaves in cold water thoroughly and insert it into the mouth of the juicer. 

Grape Juice

Artificial grape juices are always demanded. Wines and other forms of drinks are made with grapes. To get to the point, grapes are a very popular fruit. The taste they bring out is a kind of sweet and sour taste combined to bring a marvelous flavor to your taste buds. Now imagine freshly made grape juice! Grapes are known to be one of the healthiest fruits in the world. Its juice is also the most delicious and healthy of fruit juices. 

What to combine this juice with?

Combining this juice with any juice will make a rich and powerful combination. 

Why? 

Grapes can be combined with any other juice to create a dynamically powerful drink. Because it is so potent and rich in vitamins and minerals it adds taste and nutrition to other juices. 

Important Preparation Tips:

• As we finish getting rid of the toxicities we should divide the bunch of grapes into smaller bunches in order to fit into the mouth of the juicer.
• Insert the grapes along with its stem and seeds to get all the nutrients. 

Grapefruit Juice

This juice contains very high amounts of vitamin C. Grapefruit Juice is an extraordinary thirst quencher and supplies the immune system with heavy artillery to fight off sicknesses and disease. With the very high vitamin C content, this juice aids the body in defending against all types of microorganisms. 

What to combine this juice with?

A mixture of grapefruit juice with any vegetable juices will produce a potent drink. Combining celery with grapefruit juice will also make an excellent and healthy beverage. 

Why? 

Grapefruit can sometimes be sour so mixing it with vegetable juices can nullify the sour taste and the true taste can manifest itself. Also, when combined with other juices, grapefruit juice can add a certain punch that no other juice can manufacture. Try it for yourself! 

Important Preparation Tips:

• Peel the grapefruit and rinse it in cold water.
• Create small portions of the grapefruit that can fit into the mouth of the juicer.
• Feed the grapefruit very slowly so the residual pulp can be evenly extracted and juiced. 

Leafy Vegetable Juice 

Leafy vegetables such as watercress and lettuce are very healthy and good for the skin. They contain a good amount of magnesium and are known for their bitter or dull tastes and therefore are rarely juiced alone. 

What to combine this juice with?

Combine these types of juices with other green juices such as cucumber, cabbage, celery and/or spinach juice. Leafy vegetable juice can also be combined with any other juice adding a proper amount of vitamins to a health drink. 

Why? 

Combining Leafy vegetable juice with other juices can produce a very strong health drink that can do wonders for aging, stretch marks, skin problems and more. 

Important Preparation Tips:

• Selecting the best leafy vegetables takes a little knowhow. The selection process is easy!
• Make sure they are firm and dark green leafy vegetables.
• Wash the leaves thoroughly in cold water.
• These types of vegetables have a tendency to pick up the water with them so make sure and shake them dry and press between both hands.
• Roll the leaves and compact them into a ball and feed into the juicer.
• If the leaves are fed loosely they can stick to the blades or the strainer so be careful. 

Lemon Juice

Lemons are very rich in vitamin C just like its family grapefruits and oranges. It is specially suited to bring out the flavors of other juices and especially salads. The most valuable nutrients are mostly located in the skin of the lemon and therefore we advise to juice the entire lemon with the peel. Lemon juice is also used to preserve fruits and vegetables and can keep the color of other juices bright. 

What to combine this juice with?

A combination of lemon juice can go with any other juice.

Why? 

Lemon juice has a surprising way of enhancing every juice it is combined with and also tastes very good with sweeter juices such as carrot, grape, orange, and beet juice.

Important Preparation Tips:

• Wash the lemon thoroughly and place into the mouth of the juicer with the skin intact!

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.

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?
