Epsom salt reduces inflammation and reduced pain. Whenever you feel pain in foot, add a cup of Epsom salt to a bucket of water and soak foot in this water for half an hour.

The country recently approved a law that will ban the production, distribution, and importation of GM seeds.

To protect heirloom seeds and organic farmers, the country of Venezuela, through its National Assembly, recently approved a law that will ban the production, distribution, and importation of GM seeds.

According to the recently approved draft Seed Law, the state shall promote sustainable agriculture as the strategic basis for food security.

The victory is being celebrated across the world, with anti-GMO proponents viewing this as just one more sign activist efforts’ are working.

GM Watch reports that the law has taken years of collective grassroots effort to construct and has been through a public consultation.

The new law proposes the creation of a national seed institution, which will audit and control the seed supply in order to prevent, identify, and punish violators of the GMO ban. In addition, the institution will protect peasant seed, which has been part of the peoples’ culture for generations, and which is the product of natural cross-breeding.

Way to go, Venezuela!

Thankfully, the nation isn’t alone in its efforts to overcome the biotech industry. Earlier this month, President Vladimir Putin announced that Russia will become the world’s leading exporter of non-GMO foods. Big shifts are happening, to say the least.

Top Home Remedies for Acid Reflux/Acidity

Top Home Remedies for Acid Reflux/Acidity

Acid reflux is when stomach acid splashes up from the stomach into the esophagus. Whereas, GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is severe or chronic acid reflux that can lead to complications, such as cancer. At the entrance to human stomach is a valve, which is a ring of muscle called the lower esophageal sphincter (LES). Normally, the LES closes as soon as food passes through it. If the LES does not close all the way or if it opens too often, acid produced by your stomach can move up into your esophagus. This can cause symptoms such as a burning chest pain called heartburn. If acid reflux symptoms happens often, contact your doctor to confirm it is acid reflux what you have.

Acidity is a term used for a set of symptoms caused by excess production of acid by the gastric glands of the stomach. The stomach normally secretes hydrochloric acid which is required for the breakdown and digestion of food we eat. Acidity causes symptoms like dyspepsia, heartburn, gastric inflammation and ulcers in the stomach.

Causes:

One common cause of acid reflux disease is a stomach abnormality called a hiatal hernia. This occurs when the upper part of the stomach and LES move above the diaphragm, a muscle that separates stomach from the chest. Normally, the diaphragm helps keep acid in our stomach. However, if we have a hiatal hernia, acid can move up into your esophagus and cause symptoms of acid reflux disease.

Acidity is generally a consequence of several external factors like eating habits, fad diets, stress, smoking and alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity, irregularity in eating pattern. The incidence of acidity is higher in countries where individuals eat more of non-vegetarian, oily and spicy foods.

Reasons for acidity or acid reflux:

  • Eating large meals or lying down right after a meal. Eating a heavy meal and lying on your back or bending over at the waist.
  • Being overweight or obsessed and over eating.
  • Snacking close to bedtime -eating spicy chips, chips, popcorn, salty foods etc.
  • Constantly munching on certain foods- such as citrus, tomato, chocolate, mint, garlic, onions, or spicy or fatty foods.
  • Drinking certain beverages- such as alcohol, carbonated drinks, coffee, or tea.
  • Smoking habit and drinking alcohol.
  • Taking aspirin, ibuprofen, muscle relaxers, or blood pressure medications.
  • The onset of menopause.
  • Extreme stress.
  • A history of colitis or ulcers.
  • Constipation and less bowl movement.

Symptoms:

  • Burning in the stomach
  • Burning in the throat
  • Restlessness
  • Belching
  • Nausea
  • Sour taste
  • Indigestion
  • Constipation

Here are Top Home Remedies for acidity that actually work;

1. Eat and drink slowly. Do not gulp in large amounts of water at once.

2. Boil ginger in water and add honey to the strained liquid and drink to reduce acid and gas formation in stomach.

3. Chewing ginger soaked in lime juice also prevents burps.

4. Buttermilk mixed with fenugreek powder and ginger helps remove gas.

5. Boil few cloves of garlic with cumin seeds in water and add milk and sugar to it.

6. Add cardamom or citrus peels or cloves to tea and boil for 10 minutes before drinking it.

7. Eating papaya regularly prevents gases to form in the stomach.

8. Mix baking soda and lemon juice in water and drink to avoid burps.

9. Soak peppermint leaves in water and drink the mixture. Mint has calming effect on stomach lining.

10. Crush garlic and ginger and add it to milk before consuming it.

11. Do not drink carbonated drinks and avoid using straws for any drinks.

12. Quit smoking – smoking causes acidity and increases ulcer.

13. Avoid those foods that create gas – like cabbage, broccoli, besan powder etc.

14. Drink cold milk: Milk has a high amount of calcium that helps it prevent acid build up and absorbs the excess acid produced, thereby reducing the symptoms of acidity.

15. Cumin seeds: According to Ayurvedic doctors chewing cumin seeds (jeera) has a calming effect on irritated stomach nerves and helps heal ulcers.

16. Cloves: Bite one clove- the pungent taste in the mouth secretes excess saliva, which in turn aids digestion and beats the symptoms of acidity.

17. Indian gooseberry or Amla: Apart from high content of vitamin C, amla is also kapha and pitta pacifier. Consuming raw or dry powder of amlas helps in healing the injured stomach lining and oesophagus.

18. Centella leaves: Indian centella (Hydrocotyl javanica) or Indian pennywort leaves (3-4) can be chewed every morning or if you are familiar with preparing yogurt dishes or chutney using these leaves – then it also helps to reduce acidity.

19. Holy Tulsi: Tulsi leaves known to induce mucous in the stomach and has antiulcer properties. Drink Tulsi and ginger tea once or twice a day to reduce acidity.

20. Eat banana: Banana is rich source of potassium and helps to keep the acid production under control. It also helps in easy digestion and reduces constipation, which is one of the reason for acidity and acid reflux.

21. Yoga: Four yoga poses helps to overcome acid reflux. Bridge pose, plough pose, diamond pose and reclined bound angle pose -all these four poses are highly recommended to overcome acid reflux symptoms.

Taiwan Bans GMOs In School Meals-Healthylife -WeRIndia

Taiwan Bans GMOs In School Meals

By Amanda Froelich

The government of Taiwan recently approved legislation to effectively prohibit any food containing genetically modified ingredients from being served to children in school meals.

Taiwan’s government recently passed legislation to effectively prohibit any food containing genetically modified ingredients from being served to children in school meals.

According to Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Lin Shu-fen, one of the amendments’ sponsors, the decision was made primarily due to potential health and environmental hazards revolving around genetically modified foods.

Focus Taiwan reports that every year, the country imports nearly 2.3 million tons of soybeans, 90% being genetically engineered. Though the GM crop is primarily used as animal feed in Taiwan, many fear that if the soybeans were used in meals for school children, they could have a negative impact on children’s’ physical and psychological health.

“If young students consume foods that are made from genetically modified primary ingredients, it is tantamount to a hidden food safety crisis because they are exposed to unnecessary risks,” said Legislator Shiow-yen of the Kuomintang.

For this reason, say the lawmakers, it is essential schools get rid of GM foods.

The progressive move bans GMOs from school meals and promotes the consumption of locally-grown, fresh farm produce, as well as other ingredients.

103 of the city’s 235 schools have already omitted GMOs, so the clearly the transition can be done.

According to the Ministry of Education, when the new requirements take place – by next semester at the earliest – the cost of school meals could increase by NT$5 each ($0.15 USD). That small investment is worth it, many think, though it will add NT$235.8 million (US$7.17 million) to the ministry’s budget for subsidizing school meals for 262,000 disadvantaged elementary and junior school students.

This positive news comes shortly after Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, announced that Russia would be the world’s #1 exporter of non-GMO foods. In a recent address to the Russian Parliament, he proudly outlined his plan to supply the world with ‘ecologically clean’ production and organic crops.

Such is a stark contrast from the United States, where glyphosate is still rampantly sprayed on GM crops (corn and soy being predominantly GM foods) and states are fighting for the basic right to label GMO-containing foods.
