Years of study has showed that a diet rich in vegetables has many health benefits. As of today , worldwide eight out of ten do not meet the daily requirements. Two studies have found that by adding vegetable juice (like V8 Juice) in peoples diets, helped them meet the 4 servings a day of vegetables much easier.

Vegetable juice is something that people can enjoy, plus it’s convenient and portable, which makes it simple to drink every day.”Also this is a great way to get your kids to have more veggies , especially the ones who avoid them on there plates.

There are many people who experience muscle pain and weakness from taking Statin Drugs . My best answer to you is to say , get off these type of drugs as quickly as you can , because this is one of the many side affects from taking them.
The latest information that I recieved is that the Pharmacutical Industry has been trying to hide this fact for years : that these drugs are related to these diabetes symptoms of muscle pain .And worse they appear to be more than just aches. Alot of the Statin users having pain are also showing signs of muscle damage, according to a study published in July in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. Evidence has shown that even by stopping the drugs the pains can continue.
Between 10 percent and 15 percent of statin users report minor muscle aches and weakness, with a smaller number battling even more serous muscle problems, according to the study.
All because they’re taking a drug they most of the time don’t need.
Most likely you are taking this drug for cholesterol :Cholesterol is made by an enzyme in the liver. This enzyme goes into overdrive when you eat high-carbohydrate meals or suffer from excess stress. If you simply remove or manage the stress in your life and eat a better diet , your body will make less cholesterol.
The simple fact is that the Big Drug companies do not advertise , like making commercials to teach how to eat right or to exercise to get your life back on track ! No , But applying this method will help to normalize your cholesterol numbers.
There are many people who suffer from high cholesterol,they also find themselves facing other conditions such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity and diabetes.There are many supplements and natural foods : Garlic for instance that can help with many of these diseases .You can get yourself back on track naturally, and you’ll get yourself away from a lifetime of needless prescription meds like statins and others,just look for the possibilities.

The earliest known use of herbs was discovered in the 1960s in a burial site at Shanidar Cave in Iraq .There were 8 differnent kinds of herbs buried with a 60,000 year-old Neanderthal remains. It’s believed these were medicinal plants intended for use in the afterlife. Healing herbs were also portrayed in the famous cave paintings at Lascaux, France, which are between 11,000-23,000 years old.
At that time american settlers used herbal remedies for illnesses ( which today we use as alternative medicine), flavoring foods , as dyes for clothing , and for their pleasant fragrances. Herb gardens were an essential part of pioneer homes all across the country . Many of theEuropean immigrants were familiar with many of the wild-growing herbs of North America, including parsley, anise, pennyroyal, sorrel, watercress, liverwort, wild leeks, and lavender.Some unknown herbs, such as Echinacea (Purple Cone flower ), they learned to use from Native Americans Indians.
Here is a few of there most common cures using herbs.
Marjoram was a general tonic for the Greeks, and was eaten in the Middle Ages as a tranquilizer and cure for headaches. Parsley was a medieval cure for stomach ailments. Mint was used by Greek athletes as an after bath muscle relaxant(which really does work ), and was an important cleansing agent in the middle ages. It was used to purify drinking water by sailors. Chives were used by early Dutch. They planted chives in the meadows so cows would give chive-flavored milk, which they believed was good for the digestion.
