'''Natural health: Lumpy breasts and cataracts'''
*Source:https://www.irishexaminer.com/lifestyle/healthandlife/naturalmedicine/natural-health-lumpy-breasts-and-cataracts-410482.html
:By Megan Sheppard
Megan Sheppard gives advice on what to do if you have a problem with lumpiness in my breasts.
• Q. I have a problem with lumpiness in my breasts starting the week before menstruation.
The doctor has told me that this is normal and nothing to be worried about.
Is there something that I can do to reduce the lumps? They go away once my period ends, but they are quite tender.
• A. These breast changes are often referred to as Cyclic Breast Disorder, since the lumps and tenderness become more pronounced in relation to premenstrual changes.
Fibrocystic changes are linked in with the levels of hormones, particularly in women who have high oestrogen, then drop to low progesterone after ovulation.
Caffeine is thought to be linked to cysts and lumps in the breast tissue, with many women showing improvement on eliminating caffeine.
Vitamin E can help with the tenderness issue — 500IU twice daily with food (don’t take this if you are on anti-coagulant medication).
Agnus castus helps to restore balance between progesterone and oestrogen, and can help many hormone-related issues that women experience around menstruation.
Low levels of iodine have been linked to fibrocystic changes, and nascent iodine is often recommend by natural health practitioners for breast health.
Essential fatty acids — particularly evening primrose oil and borage oil — help to reduce inflammation in the tissues and will also support the absorption of iodine.
You should always check with your doctor or specialist if a new or unusual lump develops, if you experience any nipple discharge, if the pain becomes severe, if a lump hardens, or if they persist after your period ends.
• Q. My mother has just started to develop cataracts.
She is only 66 years old. Is there is anything to help slow the growth of the cataracts at this early stage?
• A. Cataracts are formed by the proteins in the lens of the eye breaking down, clumping together, and forming an opaque spot.
This leads to blurred or cloudy vision since light cannot be transmitted effectively to the retina.
Of course, the position and severity of the cataract determines how impaired the vision becomes.
You are wise to start early with support for your mother’s eye health, since supplementation can help to delay cataract growth, and in some cases it can prevent further development.
Surgery is the only scientifically proven method for complete removal of a cataract at the present time.
Antioxidant nutrients are key when it comes to targeting cataracts, and supporting eye health in general.
Vitamins C, and E help to prevent damage to the lens of the eye, particularly from cigarette smoke and UV light.
Smoking and prolonged exposure to UV light are considered to be the two main causes of cataracts.
Selenium helps by neutralizing free radicals. Your mother will need to take at least 1,000mg of vitamin C, twice daily; 500IU of vitamin E daily (not recommended alongside anticoagulant medication); and 400mcg of selenium daily.
Bilberry is well known amongst natural health practitioners for its role in eye health and macular degeneration, since this flavonoid-rich berry assists in the elimination of toxins from the lens and retina.
A US based study found that people aged over 55 years who took vitamin E supplementation (400-500IU daily) were only half as likely to develop cataracts as those who took no vitamin E.
A further study indicated that taking vitamin E in conjunction with bilberry supplementation (standardised to contain 2.5% anthocyanosides) stopped the progression of cataracts in an impressive 48 out of 50 participants.
The dosage of bilberry was 80mg, taken three times a day.
The final nutrient worth considering is flaxseed oil, since the essential fatty acids help to nourish the eye and reduce inflammation.
The recommended dosage is 1 tablespoon (15ml) taken in the morning together with food. It can be whizzed into a smoothie or stirred into juice or cereal.

'''Are you looking after your eyes?'''
*Source:https://pakobserver.net/are-you-looking-after-your-eyes/
:(Pakistan Observer)
YOUR sight is one of the most dominant senses you possess, requiring the largest amount of sensory receptors. As we age, our eyes can start to deteriorate due to a combination of negative external and internal conditions, including harsh sunlight, UV reflection, nutritional deficiencies and even chronic diseases such as diabetes and atherosclerosis. Some degenerative eye conditions such as macular eye degeneration and cataracts are directly associated with ageing, and nutrient deficiencies play a large part in the process. A lack of some nutrients may contribute to glare sensitivity, poor day and night vision, near sightedness, irritation and redness, and a susceptibility to mild infections like conjunctivitis.
The most common degenerative eye conditions are… Cataracts: Imagine looking through glasses smeared with oil. White cloudy spots, called cataracts, sit on the normally transparent lens of the eye and cause a range of disruptive symptoms. Blurred vision, light sensitivity, faded or yellowed irises, poor night vision and seeing halos around lights are all symptoms of cataracts, the leading cause of blindness around the world.
Macular degeneration: Macular degeneration is like having a blurry dot right in the centre of your vision while peripherals remain unaffected. The macula is the area of the retina where images are focused. Macular degeneration is split into two categories, dry and wet. Dry macular degeneration is the most common type and occurs when retinal cellular debris is gradually accumulated, leading to a gradual loss of vision from the centre outward. Wet macular degeneration occurs when abnormal blood vessels leak fluid that damages the macula.
The good news is there are a number of herbs, vitamins and minerals that can help protect and nurture your eyes.
Bilberry is a key herb for the eyes and has long been recognised as a visual tonic. Bilberry jam was used by WW2 fighter pilots to enhance their night vision, a notion that has since been confirmed in clinical studies. Important components of Bilberry, known as anthocyanidins, help to protect against the collagen destruction that occurs in conjunction with cataracts, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy. Antioxidants are important for protecting the eye structures from free radical damage and collagen destruction. Helpful antioxidants include zeaxanthin, lutein, vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, zinc, and bilberry.

'''5 Healthy Tea Infusions That Aid Weight loss'''
*Source:http://www.care2.com/greenliving/5-healthy-tea-infusions-that-aid-weight-loss.html
:By Brian Syuki
Losing weight isn’t easy. Luckily, there are teas and herbal drinks that can aid you, if your goal is to lose weight. These herbal infusions are derived from plants that help boost metabolism, control appetite and reduce consumption of high-calorie beverages.
Note that adding sugar to tea can hinder weight loss and cause health issues. You’re better off sweetening your teas with a teaspoon of raw organic honey. Here are 5 healthy tea drinks that will help you lose weight.
1. Rooibos Tea Infusion
This herbal tea is made from leaves of a plant native to South Africa. It has been proven to strengthen the immune system and enhance weight loss. For one thing, rooibos tea infusions contain aspalathin, a flavonoid which reduces stress.
This tea also contains antioxidants and minerals that help maintain optimal health. If you don’t like caffeine, this is the perfect tea for you since it’s naturally caffeine-free.
2. Bilberry Tea Infusion
Drinking bilberry herbal tea before meals can help suppress appetite. This herbal drink also helps regulate blood sugar levels and fights inflammation.
You won’t need to add sweeteners to this tea since it is naturally sweet. In fact, you can drink it to curb nighttime sugar cravings. It’s worth noting that bilberry and rooibos are herbal drinks not from the tea plant, but they’re marketed similarly to tea.
3. Green Tea
Green tea comes from the same plant as white, black and oolong tea. But these teas offer different benefits due to the unique ways they are processed. Various studies have suggested that green tea boosts metabolism and promotes fat loss. Most of green tea benefits are attributed to caffeine and potent antioxidants called catechins.
According to this study, participants who took 690mg of catechins a day (equivalent to 4-5 cups of green tea) for 12 weeks, lost an average of 2 more pounds than those who didn’t take catechins. Plus, research shows caffeine can promote weight loss.
4. Oolong Tea
Oolong tea can help you lose weight and keep it off. It boosts metabolism and blocks excess calories from being stored as fat. In one study, participants who drank oolong tea lost 6 pounds in 6 weeks.
Replacing sodas and fruit juice with oolong tea will make it easier for you to reach your weight goal.
5. White Tea
White tea has been proven to boost metabolism and block formation of new fat cells. This study found that white tea helps break down the fat cells in your body.
In another study, participants reduced their waistlines by 10 percent after drinking white tea every day for 12 weeks. Aim to drink 2 cups of white tea a day.
Which tea has helped you lose weight?

'''How to Grow Vaccinium Myrtillus'''
*Source:http://homeguides.sfgate.com/grow-vaccinium-myrtillus-47553.html
:By Teo Spengler
A blueberry by any other name is just as sweet, especially if it is Vaccinium myrtillus, commonly called bilberry or European blueberry. Unlike American blueberries that come from hybrid cultivars, bilberries most often grow in the original, wild form which has one fruit per twig rather than clusters. You can plant bilberries in your back yard in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 3 through 8, as a fruit crop or a ground cover. The bilberry prefers a cooler climate; in warmer zones, take care to keep the plant from getting too hot.
1. Purchase container-raised bilberries rather than bare-root stock as these perennials do not like to have their roots disturbed. Obtain at least two bushes to allow for cross-pollination. Keep the containers outdoors in a cool, moist location until planting time in early spring.
2. Select a planting location for your bilberries that offers full sun in cooler zones and partial sun with afternoon shade in warmer zones. Ensure that soil is well-draining and acidic. If you do not know your soil's pH, buy a tester kit from a garden store. If the pH is greater than 6, consider planting in raised beds so you can bring in acidic soil. Avoid selecting a sheltered location, as the shrub is very tolerant of wind and fruits better with full exposure.
3. Work the soil to a depth of 8 inches and dig planting holes as deep as the bilberry container and twice as wide. Gently remove the container and place the bilberry root ball in the planting hole. Tuck soil around the edges and water well. Add a 2-inch layer of organic mulch to keep the ground cool and moist.
4. Water the bilberries whenever the soil dries out. They require no fertilization and little additional care. Berries ripen in autumn and taste better if allowed to ripen on the shrub.
:Things You Will Need
:• Container-raised bilberry shrubs
:• Soil testing kit
:• Shovel
:• Organic mulch
:Tips
:• Bilberries are sweet and make excellent jam and can also be dried like raisins.
:• The dried leaves of the bilberry have been used as folk medicine for years in Europe.
:• Bilberry juice stains hands, teeth and tongue a deep purple.
:Warning
::Although bilberries are devoured by loyal fans throughout England, Plants for a Future website suggests that the large amounts of tannin in the berries can cause digestive orders if you eat too many or too regularly. The website also recommends that pregnant woman and people on anticoagulant therapy avoid eating this fruit.

'''What vitamins, nutrients will help prevent glaucoma from worsening?'''
*Source:https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/09/160914153220.htm
:(Glaucoma Research Foundation)
In general, I recommend that my patients include nutrient-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables as part of a healthy diet. A healthy lifestyle, consisting of balanced nutrition, moderate exercise, and appropriate rest is an important part of your overall health and well-being and can help prevent illness too.
The best way to ensure that you're getting all of your essential vitamins and minerals is to eat a balanced diet that includes fruits and vegetables -- they are a primary source of carotenoids, which can have overall benefits for vision health. Certain fruits and vegetables with higher vitamin A and C content have been shown to reduce glaucoma risk as well. Some of the most helpful fruits and vegetables for healthy vision are: collard greens, cabbage, kale, spinach, Brussels sprouts, celery, carrots, peaches, radishes, green beans, and beets.
Because oxidative stress is associated with damage to the optic nerve in glaucoma, antioxidants may help to prevent further injury. Dietary sources of antioxidants include pomegranate, acai berries, cranberries, dark chocolate, black and green tea, bilberry, lycopene (from tomato products), dark green leafy vegetables like kale and spinach, and flax seeds.
Any specific nutritional deficiencies in your diet can be addressed with supplements that include Vitamins A, B-complex, C, and E as well as the minerals Magnesium, Calcium and Zinc. However, there is no convincing data that vitamin supplements help to prevent glaucoma. I recommend that patients take a general multivitamin if they are uncertain whether their daily nutritional needs are met.
While good nutrition plays a role in disease prevention and overall health, it is not a treatment for glaucoma. Certain herbs such as ginkgo and bilberry may even increase the risk of bleeding with glaucoma surgery. Given the breadth of nutritional supplements available over-the-counter, it is important to discuss with your eye doctor all prescription, herbal, vitamin, mineral, and over-the-counter remedies you currently take. Talk to your doctor about any other questions related to glaucoma and your diet, exercise, and lifestyle choices.

'''10 Amazing Health Benefits Of Bilberry'''
*Source:http://skintreatmentz.blogspot.com/2015/05/10-amazing-health-benefits-of-bilberry.html
:By Renold Rajan (STYLECRAZE)
Do you think blueberries and bilberry are one and the same? Well, you couldn’t be further from the truth. Bilberry is a fruit related to the American blueberries. It is commonly called the European blueberry because the fruit is native to Europe’s mountainous regions. The fruit differs from regular blueberries, with its smaller size and wrinkled black skin. The fruit is used in a variety of ways in the kitchen, for pies, cakes, and other sweets.
Above all, bilberry comes with a host of health benefits. Would you like to know what they are? Keep reading!
1. Fix Gastrointestinal Problems:
Bilberries are packed with tannins that reduce the swelling of the intestines, and their astringent content tightens tissues. The fruit helps subdue the problem of diarrhea and has been used for this purpose for centuries (1). Studies also state that the fruit can cure stomach ulcers.
2. Beneficial In Treating Diabetes And High Blood Pressure:
The damage caused to the retina in the eye by high levels of blood sugar and blood pressure is usually irreversible. However, it can be improved to a certain degree with bilberries. The berries control blood sugar levels in people, who have high blood pressure, and they also maintain normal sugar levels in diabetics (2).
3. Battle Infections:
Eating bilberries can fight certain types of infections in the body. The fruit has antimicrobial properties that aid in this process. Bilberries have properties that can even defend the body against illnesses, like salmonella and staph infections.
4. Circulatory Improvements:
Chronic venous insufficiency develops when the valves of the veins in the legs or lower extremities of the body get damaged and cannot deliver blood to the heart as efficiently as before. Ingesting bilberries aids those with this condition and promotes flexibility and viability of capillaries. Varicose veins can be treated the same way; bilberries reduce the swelling, cramps and heaviness of the veins.
5. Prevent Clots:
The anthocyanosides in bilberries may have the power to prevent clotting of blood in the vessels (3). The clustering of platelets and the build-up of plaque from bad cholesterol is reduced by the healthy chemicals in this fruit. This, in turn, prevents life-threatening diseases like strokes and heart attacks.
6. Sharpen Memory:
Lab research on mice has shown that bilberries can improve short-term memory significantly. Also, those who maintain a vegetarian diet are less likely to develop degenerative disorders. This has given hope that bilberry could be used to prevent degenerative diseases like the Alzheimer’s.
7. Cancer Prevention:
Cancer is a rampant disease that claims the lives of many. Bilberry studies have derived remarkable outcomes in this field. Anthocyanosides possess the strength to stall cancer cell activity. The fruit extracts have the ability to prevent the growth of leukemia and colon cancer cells in humans.
8. Antioxidative Properties:
Bilberries carry out tremendous anti-oxidative activities (4). They prevent cell damage and make capillaries more resilient. They also help to increase blood flow, and red blood cells can reshape to pass through the narrow capillaries. Bilberry can destroy free radicals that cause oxidative stress in the body.
9. Improve Eye Sight:
The existence of Rhodopsin in bilberries makes it an eye-friendly fruit. It is believed bilberry may be useful in boosting eyesight and preventing common eye problems like cataract, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.
10. Treats UTIs:
Bilberries are related to cranberries, which are often touted as fruits that can help with kidney and urinary problems. Hence, it is believed bilberry too may have the same effect on the body, especially when it comes to urinary tract infections. Also, bilberries have many anti-microbial properties that many believe can combat infections.
:Side Effects Of Bilberry:
While bilberry has many benefits, you also should be aware of a few of its side effects.
:• The effect of prescription medicines or any other drug may be countered by the fruit’s chemicals if taken as a continuous supplement on a long-term basis.
:• An upset stomach may also result from frequent ingestion of bilberries.
:• Headaches, dizziness or drowsiness are some of the other side effects.
:• Some people could be allergic to bilberry and could experience an adverse allergic reaction.
:• Affect the ability to form clots, thereby risking internal bleeding.
:• May bring blood sugar to dangerously low levels.
