Alternative Health Care Program

To treat symptoms rather than causes brings no lasting results. To give a person a pain pill for pain rather than treating the cause of the pain, only gives a person some temporary relief. To cut out the part of the body that is affected, only weakens the overall function of the body. To replace parts of the body with artificial parts, does not help the body heal itself. All these methods only assure the medical profession of return customers and a continual income.

There must be a better way! There must be an alternative method that treats causes rather than symptoms. Truth is, there are many methods of health care that use non-conventional approaches to health care. They range from totally ridiculous to well thought-out scientific systems leading to ultimate health. The following are some that are based on well thought-out rational approaches that treat causes rather than symptoms. These are based on prevention as well as treatment.

I. Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathic doctors believe the human body has an innate ability to heal itself. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) instruct their patients to use diet, exercise, lifestyle changes and cutting-edge natural therapies to aid their bodies’ ability to ward off and combat disease. They view the patient as a complex, interrelated system. They craft comprehensive treatment plans that blend the best of modern medical science and traditional natural medical approaches to treat disease, and restore health. They base their practice on six timeless principles founded on medical tradition and scientific evidence.

Easy Steps to Improve Heart Health

By : Julie Winterton

Sea Salt

Swap table salt for sea salt – avoid foods with low quality salt already in, and control the amount you consume by seasoning with it only. Instead use more herbs & spices to flavour food.

Improve diet

Its not about swapping butter for a margarine with a mind boggling list of unnatural, unrecognisable ingredients. Instead focus on wholesome natural ingredients – vegetables, almonds salmon, walnuts. Cut out refined carbohydrates and sugars.

Coconut oil

Although technically classed as a saturated fat, coconut oil can actually protect against stroke and heart attacks. It actually increases HDL cholesterol (the good cholesterol).
Countries like Sri Lanka, where coconut oil was a primary fat source, have lower incidences of heart disease. Populations where coconut oil was a key element of their diet also benefit from improved cholesterol readings, lower body fat deposition, higher survival rate, reduced tendency to form blood clots, fewer uncontrolled free radicals in cells, low levels of blood and liver cholesterol, higher antioxidant reserves in cells, and lower incidence of heart disease in population studies.

Exercise

Not only will regular exercise increase fat loss, help weight control & build muscle mass, but it helps lower blood pressure(a major risk factor for heart disease). It also improves circulation, preventing blood clots that can lead to heart attacks and stroke.
Exercise also increases HDL, transporting fat away from the arteries and to the liver for processing, whilst reducing LDL cholesterol that can form fatty deposits and contribute to heart disease.
