Oily fish 'can fight deafness in elderly persons'

 

Just two servings of fish a week can slash the risk of hearing loss by a fifth, according to a new study.
Oily fish such as sardines, salmon and mackerel are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have already been shown to stave off heart disease, dementia, cancer, depression and arthritis. Now a study of women has shown that consumption can lower the risk of deafness.
US researchers looked at a study of 65,215 nurses who were followed between 1991 and 2009, during which time 11,606 cases of hearing loss were reported. In comparison with women who rarely consumed fish, those who ate it at least twice a week were 20 per cent less likely to develop deafness.
The study was published online by the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. One of the authors – Dr Sharon Curhan of Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston – said acquired hearing loss was often a disabling chronic health condition.
She added: ‘Although a decline in hearing is often considered an inevitable aspect of ageing the identification of several potentially modifiable risk factors has provided new insight into possibilities for prevention or delay of acquired hearing loss.
‘Consumption of any type of fish – tuna, dark fish, light fish or shellfish – tended to be associated with lower risk. These findings suggest diet may be important in the prevention of acquired hearing loss.’
Doctors say that eating fish, which is packed with vitamins and minerals, on a regular basis can help stave off a range of serious diseases and help protect health in later life. A previous study in 2008 found that eating oily fish two or more times a week could reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration – a common cause of blindness in older people.
Research from 2004 also suggests that consumption of oily fish helped protect against heart disease, while other studies have found that it can lower blood pressure and reduce the build up of fat in arteries.
Alison Hornby, a spokesman for the British Dietetic Association, states on the NHS website: ‘The benefits of eating at least two portions of fish a week, including one of oily fish, include keeping your blood pressure at a healthy level and improving blood lipids, both of which reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease, the biggest killer in the UK.
‘You can get your omega-3 from a range of oily fish. Tinned sardines and mackerel are an easy way to stock up the store cupboard.’

COCONUT OIL... NATURE GIFT

 

Coconut Oil

Coconut Oil is another healthy saturated fat that contains many beneficial properties. The fat in coconut oil is easily digested and absorbed, unlike the man-made fats or oils that act just like plastic in the body. It puts very little strain on the digestive system and provides a quick source of energy necessary to promote healing.

Buy a good quality coconut oil that is:

• Unrefined.
• Unbleached.
• Undeodorized.

Coconut oil is highly resistant to spoilage and has a long shelf life (2 years at room temperature), so it is not kept refrigerated. It is kept in the cupboard or on the kitchen counter.

Like other saturated fats coconut oil goes solid when cooled below room temperature, and in warm weather it will be totally liquid.

Coconut oil has a high burning point making it perfect for cooking. It can be used alone, or mixed with butter, lard or other good fats for cooking and frying.

Coconut oil can be taken by the spoonfuls with meals to aid digestion or melted on cooked foods. The recommended therapeutic dose for anyone who is unhealthy is 5-6 tablespoons per day, taken in divided doses preferably with meals that contain protein.

Since coconut oil is antifungal, antiparasitic, antibacterial and antiviral, etc. it will create die-off or healing reactions in people who are unhealthy, but it will be particularly pronounced in candida sufferers and in people who have viruses and bacteria. The most common healing reactions are nausea or stomach upset, and diarrhea. This is because coconut oil kills bacteria, yeasts, viruses and parasites in the digestive system and it cleans out toxins.

Diarrhea is the body's way of getting rid of unwanted guests and toxins. Other healing reactions may include increased mucus in the intestines, nose, sinuses, lungs, as well as rashes and other skin eruptions.

To minimize healing reactions or die-off symptoms start taking coconut oil at a low dose (1/2 to 1 teaspoon 3 times a day) and gradually increase the amount every 4-5 days until the maximum therapeutic dose of 5-6 tablespoons per day is reached.

It is also important to take coconut oil in divided doses during the day and not all at once. Healthy people can take a maintenance dose of coconut oil which is 3 tablespoons per day.

Coconut Oil Health Benefits

 What are some of the health benefits of coconut oil being reported? Some of the most recent research has come from people suffering from Alzheimer’s disease, with reports of people improving or even reversing the effects of Alzheimer’s by using coconut oil, as drug trials on Alzheimer’s drugs continue to fail. Alzheimer’s is now seen as a type 3 form of diabetes, and for years we have seen positive results from people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes in using coconut oil. We have also seen a lot of reports of coconut oil health benefits from those suffering from hypothryroidism, as coconut oil helps boost metabolism and raise body temperatures to promote thyroid health. Restricting carbohydrates and increasing coconut oil in the diet has also led many to report losing weight with coconut oil. Candida sufferers also report health benefits with coconut oil as research now confirms, and those suffering from various skin diseases are also seeing tremendous health benefits by applying coconut oil directly on the skin. The benefits of coconut oil for healthy hair are also well known, and other healthy benefits of coconut oil included fighting off bacterial infections and viruses. Coconut oil is also increasingly being seen to benefit athletes and fitness trainers giving them an advantage in sustaining energy levels longer without drugs or stimulants

While some people falsely accuse coconut oil of being a “fad,” the fact is that it is a traditional oil that has been consumed for thousands of years in tropical cultures, and the research on the health benefits of coconut oil has existed for a very long time. Lauric acid, for example, has a long history of use in combating pathogens, and this research has been around for more than 50 years. Coconut oil is nature’s richest source of lauric acid.

Watch out for more usages of coconut oil.
