I've actually written a few articles on this in the past. The idea of secondary detoxification which I consider a crucial component to assessing whether or not your health is in some way compromised. Secondary and / or vicarious detoxification is when your body's four major pathways for natural detoxing are in some way suppressed or even worse, overburdened! This idea of secondary detoxification could explain all sorts of minor sickness, especially **viruses** which obviously the world is very concerned with at the moment.

Keeping a new habit for long is a tough challenge. It takes lots of effort to adopt a new thing no matter how big or small it is. You will notice how people went to the gym every year early in the year and gradually you will find only a few. It's because we struggle to keep the motivation. But there is something in all of us which can help us stick to any good habit if we want. Originally posted: https://hive.blog/hive-148441/@mrhaldar/make-your-positive-habit-stick-for-life

Hello Hello... How's everyone doing during this pandemic? Hope you all have been well and healthy. I have been MIA from hive for a few months, been busy with my own stuff and recovering from Dengue. Due to too much of Bak Ku Teh last week, I started having a sore throat yesterday. Therefore, I started making Honey Lemon drinks. I'm gonna show you how I make Honey Lemon and you can do it too. It is simple and easy, you can drink it all day too if you're bored with just drinking plain water. **Ingredients** - 1 whole Lemon - 1 tablespoon of Honey - 1 liter of Warm Water Originally posted: https://hive.blog/teammalaysia/@joannewong/my-favourite-remedy-when-i-have-sore-honey-lemon

what foods humans should naturally eat the basic principle is that foods occur in nature in certain states and humans have the ability to alter food abusing various ways this basically tells us whether our modern diet is healthy or not when we relate back to that ancestral food status is that modern food you're eating something that would have occurred in nature If it doesn't occur in nature is it realistic or comparable to something that does is the way we need to prepare that food unrealistic as well such as being unreasonably labor intensive or requiring special machinery that didn't exist you know hundreds of thousands of years ago this could mean climbing a 100 foot tree for one mango or processing soybeans into vegetable seed oils both things that would obviously not have occurred in our past so we have to start with our taste buds and our primitive reactions to eating this relates greatly to a baby spitting out vegetables as babies are still very much in tune with their natural instincts Whereas adults are brainwashed to eat poor tasting foods that are marketed as healthy that they believe are healthy if a food is good for you it should taste good in some capacity but that doesn't mean just because the food tastes good it's going to be good for you so we have sweet salty sour bitter acidic umami aka umami and richness and all of these are taste components that can signify nutrients contributing to that flavor of the food you know where in the specific micronutrient macronutrient as well as chemical composition can be assumed a certain combination of molecules for instance forms a russet potato and a similar combination forms a yellow potato this correlates directly to every aspect of that food the vitamin content mineral content fatty acids anti-nutrients whatever you can think of and when you crave a certain food you're craving the nutrient properties of that food even If it's as simple as protein but you might not actually be getting enough of that food or you're still missing other nutrients if the craving continues and these by no means are all of the senses that we use to perceive food but these are very basic and help us understand it at a very shallow level if something's sweet you know it has sugars fructose glucose maltose lactose whatever and it gives us caloric energy readily available for our brain especially salty signifies sodium which is a mineral requirement sour can indicate that the food has been fermented and that there is a probiotic benefit to the food bitter means that you probably shouldn't eat it but there are bitter herbs and roots that we have eaten in our past that do have antimicrobial properties and they can also stimulate gastric acid acidic is also from fermentation and as with sour It has a probiotic content but depending on sour versus acidic there could also be an anti-scorpic value of vitamin c content that has developed umami again relates to fermentation and specific nutrients develop when we eat fermented foods as you can tell a lot of our flavor profiles are based around the fermentation the planned rotting of food and that tells us that our modern diets are greatly lacking you know fermented food and something i've mentioned before is that synergy and trinity of cooked raw and fermented food that's present in every single indigenous diet that's something We certainly cannot overlook here and of course with richness you have a fat and cholesterol content to the food that signifies survival calories as well as nutrients like fat type of vitamins now the base palatability of a food is its least processed edible state an example of progression of this would be raw meat to cooked meat to seasoned meat the meat out of a freshly slaughtered animal the meat cooked with any method then the meat cooked as well as seasoned or accompanied by plant foods that make it tastier this is how you can sort of tell if a food is fit for human consumption broccoli for instance is not consumable at that base palatability in its raw state and generally speaking a food that is consumable raw can also be cooked and be incredibly healthy foods like grains and potatoes kind of draw a fine line as they can be eaten in small amounts or fermented states when raw but need to be cooked to break down the starch for human digestion and then you want to ask yourself you know can you prepare the food in a natural way like roasting the potatoes in the dirt near fire can you procure them in a natural way you know eating potatoes every day you know starts becoming very unrealistic once you understand what goes into growing that cropon the other end of the spectrum we have hyper palatable foods that achieve unrealistic hunger signals typically with the addition of carbohydrates or sugar take a potato chip for instance it has salt it has carbs and it's replicating that crunch that might be from an insect which would have been very nutrient dense the combination of sugar and fat and ice cream bacon which has crunch sugar salt and smoke these foods can be made healthy with quality ingredients but generally speaking the modern versions the american public has available to them are not so healthy and the reason we actually season our food is because that's replicating the natural aromatics from the animals diet that are supposed to be in the food Originally posted: https://hive.blog/hive-174578/@whataidea/best-food-solve-many-boody-problems

Our body is the most smartest and advanced machine we can say, it works like a production unit, what we feed into it, exactly it gives out the corresponding results to that. We know it, so then how is it that we still feed in wrong things, just not in terms of food but also the emotions. Our Physical body is just not about the physical health but also the emotional and mental health. The physical body is something we can see clearly, but the other two are also reflecting clearly in the form of our own behavior, lifestyles, actions and our overall personality. So very clearly it is just not about the diet that goes into our body that impacts our holistic health but the emotions and our thoughts that we feed in are also equally important for our overall health at all levels. Like a production factory after the input has gone in whatever form food, emotions or thoughts, the internal churning process starts, where in the chemicals are released, the hormones get created. Every emotion, thoughts, action creates a certain type of Chemical and it gives the necessary boost to the overall physical body and at the same time when the body lacks these chemicals it also leaves one drained out in that particular area. To look at it for a holistic health at all levels all of them are equally important. We humans are designed in such a way that we need these chemicals in our body to make it function optimally.

https://i-sight.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/iStock-641735302-640x300.jpg?x75912 Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of race, age, or sex. Have you ever been treated unfairly and did not get a job or a project because of your gender, race, or age? If you have, then you might have been a victim of discrimination. Discrimination is a horrible fact of life and we see examples around us every day. It is very easy to describe discrimination, but it is quite difficult to explain why it actually happens. From a very young age we are taught the differences between people. Babies soon enough learn that there is a difference between boys and girls and depending on your background we are indirectly taught the differences between different races. How we feel about different races also has a lot to do with our values and beliefs. Most of our beliefs come from our parents, peers, and the way they act towards people from other races. Most discrimination comes from fear and a lot of misunderstanding is involved. People tend to live in the past and cannot look past the fact that all people look different, but just because they look different doesn’t make them less of a person. Discrimination has turned into a health issue, people who face discrimination experience a lot of stress and this is often accompanied by anxiety. Anxiety and stress can turn into depression and other negative effects like obesity or low self-esteem. People who have never experienced any form of discrimination have lower stress levels. Many people are bias towards certain races, but it depends on how you were brought up and your personal experiences. However not all people from certain races are the same. Many people do not have a problem with race, but they do have issues with individuals that do not fall into their belief system like lesbians and gays. Most people who have been victimized or discriminated against, tend to avoid certain situations where they can be targeted and miss out on many opportunities. Although there are many laws against discrimination, discrimination still occurs frequently. It is such a sad world where people have to fight to be themselves just to fit in. Major discrimination is a general occurrence, but it is the less minor type of discrimination that we don’t often hear about. Elderly people being treated without respect, women being treated unfairly in the workplace and someone that is made out to be less intelligent. Even though we don’t hear about it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t take place or invalidate their experiences. Like previously said, discrimination can take its toll. It can have a real effect on your life and your outlook on things. To prevent this, it is necessary to find healthy ways to deal with discrimination for physical health and mental well-being. Just a matter of not letting it get to you is not going to do the trick. If a person is constantly being told that they are not worth it, they will start to believe it at some point. It is now where your beliefs, values and strengths come in very handy. If you have the strength to brush off all the negative things and focus on your strengths this should cancel out the negative feelings. If you learn to do this every time you are discriminated against it should help you to face these challenges better in the future. Do not let anyone get the best of you. Make sure that you have a good support system and let them help you when you are in doubt. Many people have been through the same thing as you, and you should communicate with these people frequently as they have learned how to deal with these issues without letting it affect them. You should be made aware constantly of what you are really worth and not let others affect you as a person. Nobody on earth is perfect and everyone has flaws, but your skin color, sex or age doesn’t make you any different from any other person. Try not to doubt yourself too much. Stand your ground and believe in yourself. If you apply for a job and you don’t get the job, make sure why you didn’t get the job first. If they are indeed discriminating then you can say what you have to say, but if there is another valid reason, then you don’t have to make an issue about it. If everyone had a fair chance, then you might have just not been the best candidate. Paranoia is also not going to bring discrimination to light, each and every action against someone is not necessarily discrimination. If you are not sure if you are being discriminated against, it might be a good idea to talk to someone about it. It could be very helpful to talk to a family member or a friend on how to handle these situations. They most probably have been through the same thing and can guide you through your feelings. If your family members are not supportive you can get involved with organizations online or in person. These people will be able to support you because they have had similar experiences. When you experience discrimination, it is important to be calm even though you might not feel calm. Make use of breathing exercises to calm your senses and your stress response. Having an outburst might make the whole situation worse than it really is. Rather step away and think about what happened. If you have reason to speak out, do so when you are calm. If you just keep quiet, it might affect you negatively. Even if you don’t solve the issue, you will still feel better if you speak about it, and the person might see things from a different view. In the end, we cannot stop discrimination, but we can change the way we act towards it. We need to talk about it openly and make people aware of what is happening. https://i.postimg.cc/hGpMxXNy/phc.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/HsyH9LMx/eh.png https://i.postimg.cc/TwVyY0tm/giantbear-logo.gif Originally posted: https://hive.blog/hive-114105/@giantbear/can-discrimination-be-eliminated
