Healing Eczema with Food

by Jessica Mosiuk @ Marine Drive Naturopathic

Fri Feb 02 15:32:09 PST 2018

Eczema is a very common skin condition that causes the skin to become inflamed, irritated, dry and itchy. The most common treatment is through topical steroid creams. This may provide temporary relief but does not address the root cause of eczema and flare-ups will continue to worsen as time goes on. Foods to avoid Because eczema is an inflammatory based condition, foods that promote inflammation should be avoided. Dairy Dairy, particularly from cow’s milk, contains large protein molecules that are difficult to digest. This is the first food group that should be eliminated for eczema as it is the most common culprit. Some people are able to reintroduce sheep and goat milk in small amounts after an elimination period but if your eczema is not clearing up dairy should be avoided completely. There are lots of choices available now for non-dairy milk and milk products that make dairy-free living easy. Almond, cashew and coconut milks make great replacements. Sugar Besides being pro-inflammatory, a high sugar diet contributes to dysbiosis of the gut microbiome. Dysbiosis is a catch-all term for an alteration of the gut microbiome. The gut is home to trillions of bacteria, collectively referred to as the “gut microbiome”. These microorganisms are essential for good health because they take care of the immune system, synthesize vitamins and minerals, convert inactive hormones to active hormones and keep your digestive system healthy. With a high sugar diet, a yeast organism called Candida Albicans can overgrow and cause eczema and digestive symptoms like gas and bloating. Up to 70% of people with eczema have Candida overgrowth. While alternative sweeteners to refined sugar like honey and maple syrup are a better choice, it is still important to not go overboard with them. Processed Foods Food dyes, additives or preservatives like BHA and BHT are found in processed foods like candy, margarine and junk food. Not only are they pro-inflammatory, they are also found to be carcinogenic and endocrine-disrupting. Check out the Environmental Working Groups list of Dirty Dozen Additives to avoid. Fried Foods Fried foods (along with processed oils like soy, corn, cottonseed and canola) are not good for anyone’s health, not just eczema sufferers. It is important to consume healthy fats though. Keep reading to find out which fats you should be eating. Gluten Alongside dairy, gluten is a common allergen that is found to contribute to eczema symptoms. Gluten is a protein found in grains like wheat, rye, barley and spelt. Focus instead on non-glutinous grains like quinoa, millet, buckwheat and amaranth. Oats are technically gluten-free but there is a lot of cross contamination in the processing process so be sure to look for oats that are labelled “gluten-free”. Other Common Food Sensitivities Food sensitivities are problematic with eczema because they can result in a condition called “leaky gut”. When the integrity of the intestinal barrier is compromised from repeated exposure to food allergens or sensitivities, it becomes permeable meaning undigested food particles and proteins can pass through and leak into the blood stream. This provokes the immune system which considers these undigested food particles and proteins to be foreign invaders. So, every time we eat this same food the immune system is going to attack it. This results in a chronic inflammation cycle which can show up as eczema symptoms. The most common food sensitivities are dairy, gluten, corn, soy and eggs. It is possible to have a sensitivity to any food that you consume often (I’m seeing more and more almond sensitivities!). To find out if you have food sensitivities, you can get a blood test through our clinic or do an elimination diet. Bonus: Body Products Most common store-bought soaps contain ingredients that aggravate eczema. Watch out for these ingredients: Sodium Laurel Sulfate Fragrance Coconut Diethanolamide Dextran sodium sulfate Okay but what do I eat? Healthy Fat They key here besides an unprocessed, whole foods diet that avoids the foods mentioned above is a good dose of healthy fat every day. Omega 3 fats will help reduce inflammation: be sure to include hemp seed, flax seed, walnuts and their oils. Be careful with your cooking oils- avocado and coconut oils withstand higher heats so are your best choices for cooking. Never cook with flax or hemp oil. Nuts, seeds and avocado are a great way to get a dose of healthy fat along with fiber. Probiotic-rich Foods Probiotics are the good bacteria that keep your gut microbiome robust and healthy. Foods to incorporate are sauerkraut, kimchi and pickles. Be sure to look for these foods in the refrigerated section of the grocery store and check that they do not contain vinegar. Real fermented foods are fermented with salt, only. While dairy yoghurt is off the menu, there are lots of non-dairy yoghurts available. Be sure to choose one that does not have added sugar. Kombucha has gained popularity for being a probiotic-rich beverage. While this is true, it is not the best choice for eczema sufferers as it is fermented with yeast and sugar: not a great combination is yeast overgrowth is present. Fiber Fiber is important for many aspects of good health but it is especially important in keeping the gut microbiome healthy. Simply put: bacteria eat fiber and having a variety of fiber in the diet keeps them healthy and robust. Research shows that the gut microbiome starts to improve just 72 hours after eating more fiber in your diet. Where do we get fiber? Non-glutinous grains like millet, quinoa and oats, nuts and seeds, vegetables and fruit. The more variety, the better. Jessica Mosiuk, Registered Holistic Nutritionist.

There Are Now More Prostate Deaths in the UK Than Those Caused by Breast Cancer

by Victoria Simpson @ RateMDs Health News

Mon Feb 12 09:08:12 PST 2018

Both breast cancer and prostate cancer are a terrible challenge to face. Will the U.S follow the same path as other countries? Each year, many people worldwide face each disease, but breast cancer is the one we hear about most in the media, here I North America. If the U.S follows the same path as the one that’s transpired in the UK though, prostate cancer may soon be the focus. Recently, it was reported in the news that deaths from prostate cancer now outweigh those from breast cancer, in the United Kingdom. Experts are pinning it on the aging population.

5 Ways Acupuncture Helps Create A Lasting New Year Resolution

by Youna Kim R.Ac. @ Marine Drive Naturopathic

Fri Jan 12 15:58:28 PST 2018

5 Ways Acupuncture Helps Create  A  Lasting  New Year Resolution Happy New Year! As the New Year begins, many of us are making resolutions, and hoping to achieve goals. But, it isn’t always easy. How can we stay determined until the goals are reached? How can we have strong will-power to manage our body and mind for 2018. Well, Acupuncture can assist you in the direction of your goals. Acupuncture gives you energy and rejuvenation that will help you keep your new year’s promise because of the following reasons; Promoting Qi production and circulation Qi is life energy, and is constantly moving in our body. In the human body, there are twelve primary channels and eight extra ordinary vessels, as well as numberless small collaterals that Qi runs through, as water runs in a river. When Qi is abundant and, flows in good order in the its pathways, the person feels his/her body is lighter and more energized. In contrast, when Qi is stagnated, or even stops in a certain area, the person feels heaviness and pain in the body. With the pain and heaviness in the body, we don’t want to move, and fail to achieve our new year goal as a result. In addition, Qi and blood are closely linked. When Qi moves, blood follows it. When Qi stops, blood also stops. Therefore, Qi circulation is important for blood circulation in the body. When we have sufficient blood circulation, we can keep good health. Acupuncture assists Qi to flow well, and makes the body feel fresh. It will give you more energy to carry out your new years plan. Balancing emotions and clarifying the mind In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the body and mind are intimately related, and affect each other through Qi. When the body is healthy, the mind is clear. When the mind has a negative emotion, the body becomes sick. An example of the body and mind connection is seen through the relationship between the internal organs, and the five basic emotions. When there is stagnation of Qi in the liver for example, the person easily feels anger, and becomes cranky. Conversely, when a person gets mad, the emotion affects his/her liver negatively. Again, when the lung is weak, the person has a tendency to be more sad and gloomy. Thirdly, when the spleen doesn’t function well, the person suffers from overthinking and insomnia due to endless thinking. Forth, a person who has weak kidney function feels fear more easily, and is tends to be more impatient. As finally, with weakness in the heart, a person can experience mental symptoms such as depression or mania in severe cases. A clear mind comes from balanced emotions, and the good emotions are made from a healthy internal condition. Acupuncture regulates the Qi of the internal organs, and as a result, the emotions. You will experience a clear mind for your 2018’s resolution with acupuncture. Relaxation and deep breathing In ancient Asian folklore, it is believed that the longevity of tortoises’, turtles, is a result of them breathing slower and deeper then other animals. We breathe Qi into our body, and receive energy each moment, and for deeper breathing, we need a relaxed body and mind. When we observe babies, we see they breathe into their lower belly. They breathe deeper because their bodies are more supple and tender. With deep breathing, let’s make ourselves energized for 2018. Acupuncture relieves tensions from your body, and allows it to refill with more fresh energy. Free from pain When we are in pain, we cannot think clearly, as we are hindered by the attention that the pain demands. Getting rid of pain is very important to improve our quality of life. A famous Asian health quote says, “when there is a blockage, pain appears, when there is no blockage, the pain disappears.” This insinuates that lasting pain is created by something that doesn’t flow well. The something is Qi, bio-electric current. As you know already, acupuncture opens the blockage and promotes Qi circulation. Reliving the pain is often the result. Getting strong and confident Many of the acupuncture points are used for strengthen Qi flow in the muscles and bones. For example, acupoint GB34 is one of the gallbladder points. It benefits the sinews and joints, and is one of my favorite points for seniors and people who have declining strength or soreness in their legs. Healthy muscles and bones give us overall strength and confidence. When we can move freely, and with confidence, we can get more out of life, and enjoy the activities we love. Try acupuncture in 2018! Acupuncture will help support you in having a healthy body and clear mind, naturally!
