When we age, we get sick; we get diseases. But when the inevitable comes in, you shouldn’t be afraid.
You can treat your aches naturally! Brighton Cornerstone Healthcare, a premier home health care in East North Street Madisonville KY, shares these common health issues among aging people – and the many natural foods you can take to conquer the disease!
- ECZEMA
The word eczema comes from the Greek word ekzein and literally means ‘to boil over’. This is an inflammatory condition of the skin that requires foods with alkalizing, moisturizing and heat-reducing properties. The skin responds particularly well to foods that are rich in essential fatty acids, chlorophyll and vitamins C.
Shopping list: Vitamin C (lemons, limes and red peppers), vitamin (avocados, nuts, and seeds), zinc (pumpkin seeds, beans and mushroom), essential fatty acids (vegan algae oil or kill oil for omega 3 and Evening Primerose oil for omega 6), and chlorophyll (wheatgrass, and green vegetables juices).
- JOINT PAIN
This inflammatory condition can be caused by overuse joints, ageing, excess acidity and autoimmune disease, a multi-pronged dietary approach is key to reversing its debilitating symptoms.
Shopping list: Anti-inflammatory foods (dark leafy greens, beetroots, almonds, walnuts, fatty fish), anti-inflammatory herbs and spices (ginger, garlic and turmeric), alkalizing whole-leaf barely grass powder, and cherry juice concentrate (packed with antioxidants and anthoycyanins to relieve pain and stiffness).
- IRRITABLE BOWEL SYNDROME
Irritable bowel syndrome is fast becoming a common health issue with uncomfortable (and often embarrassing) symptoms including frequent runny stools alternating with constipation, cramping and bloating. The root cause may be due to a variety of factors (overuse of antibiotics, chronic stress, and lack of beneficial bacteria, high sugar intake, food allergies and so on).
Shopping list: flush out bad bacteria (with a course of grapefruit seed extract), repopulate your digestive tract (with fermented food: raw sauerkraut, coconut yogurt and kefir), add a full-spectrum course of probiotics, and include zinc-rich foods (pumpkin seeds and mushrooms).
- ENDOMETRIOSIS
This is a condition when small pieces of endometrial tissue grow outside of the womb. Endometriosis creates multiple uncomfortable symptoms which commonly include excessive bleeding, cramping, and lower back pain.
Shopping list: Iron (beetroot, lentils, leafy greens, salmon, or supplement with a yeast-free, food-state form of liquid iron), cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, kale, watercress, brussel sprouts and radishes), essential fatty acids (hemps of seeds and tree nuts or supplement with krill oil or Evening Primrose oil), and magnesium (leafy greens, seaweeds, and green vegetable juices).
- MIGRAINES
This common and often debilitating condition can be the result of prolonged stress, lack of essential minerals, hormonal imbalances and liver toxicity. There are many key foods that play an important role in helping to prevent its onset.
Shopping list: Magnesium (spinach, Swiss chard, sunflower seeds and avocados), CoQ10 (broccoli, cauliflower, mackerel, sardines and some nuts or supplement in its reduced form called ubiquinol), foods rich in vitamin B, especially vitamin B2 (quinoa, asparagus and mushrooms).
