ROOT Causes & Symptoms Of Thyroid Problems

Thyroid disease affects one in five women and one in ten men, yet 50 percent of people with thyroid disease go undiagnosed. The main role of thyroid hormone is to stimulate metabolism, and it affects almost every function of the body. That’s why thyroid imbalance can cause so many different symptoms.

In today’s new series called Health Bites, I discuss thyroid disease and why an out-of-whack thyroid can stall your metabolism and create many other problems. I also share why using a whole-foods diet, nutritional supplements, and optimizing thyroid hormone replacement is critical for addressing thyroid disorders.

- take a thorough inventory of any of the symptoms mentioned in the podcast to see if you might be suffering from hypothyroidism.

- get a full-spectrum thyroid test that includes TSH, free T3, free T4, TPO, and antithyroglobulin antibodies.

- check for celiac disease with a celiac panel.

- consider heavy metal toxicity testing.

- check your vitamin D level.

How to Become Rich - Secret from Qur'an!

One of evita came up from one a memento somebody that I follow something that as someone. who have actually done a couple of courses with he's an incredible. and he was talking about a secret that he learned from a billionaire Japanese person and I was absolutely shocked. I'm gonna hopefully go into it.

 

Achieve time and financial freedom, so you can focus on the more important things in life so like, I mentioned and I was absolutely blown away, so this mentor of mine was talking about wha-hey Takeda who is basically Japan's Warren Buffett Multi multi billionaire.and in an interview he basically shed his secret for wealth creation. and the secret is basically what he calls arigato money. 

And arigato basically in Japanese means thank thank you thanks so the secret according to him is to basically thank and appreciate money. every time you do a transaction whether you're paying for a coffee or whether.

 

You're receiving a salary or somebody gives you a gift. he's saying that every time I desert any type of transaction. I thank the money and I was just absolutely shocked. because the first thing that came to my mind is the verse in surah Ibrahim were very clearly.

And a lot of you will be familiar with this. I would double initiate on your regime lah-lah in Jakarta la-dee-da nakum. if you are grateful to me I will increase you and a billionaire is saying that.

Real Secret whenever he thanks money he gets more in return. and I found that utterly outrageous actually because we have the real secret.

We as Muslims have the real real secret which is to thank Allah subhana WA Ta'ala for every transaction that we do so the secret the real. 

Real secret and imagine if this arigato many things working for him imagine. what true sugar to allah subhana wa ta'ala can do for us in our lives. so he was talking about how doing this appreciation of money help allowed him to have a stronger feeling of gratitude in his life. it allowed him to have a state of abundance. it allows him to be more positive.

 

It brings more blessing it brings more grace in his business. and in his life. and I was really really really shocked actually at how much this practice of his is benefitting him. and I cannot even think about how much we can benefit from the real secret. so inshallah from now on let us all try every transaction. whether it is in whether it is out even the ones that you forget about like Netflix yeah.

Let us remember that whenever it happens. let us take a moment to really thank Allah subhana WA Ta'ala no don't thank the money thank Allah subhana WA Ta'ala. and remember him and have a moment of appreciation thank you for this thank you for allowing me to spend this money and thank you for allowing me to have this money and let's just see what happens yeah let the Baraka do. 

Its work insha'Allah so far you probably already know that we're on a mission to create Muslims with a vision. who not only a financially independent but their entrepreneurial and awaiting to make this world a better place., so if you want to join this family and this mission and this journey do check out our business school inshaallah where you will be able to join a place. where you can have ongoing education. and the right type of education yet.

So this is a great example of how a lot of mentors out. there are teaching things that in actually in our religion could be actually as dangerous as ship thanking money. but these things are working for them.

But we have the real secrets we have the real weapons and the real armor and the real map and the blueprint allah subhana wa ta'ala gave it to us in the quran and in the sunnah.

If you benefited from this inshallah. do you make a commitment to try to do this. and let's make it a habit every time there's a transaction. whether you're paying by card or by cash let's take a moment.. and let's take this opportunity to remember allah subhanaw taala. and to thank him and bring more blessings more abundance and Mubarak on into our life..

Heart & Arteries connection with Crushed Garlic

Cardiovascular disease is a serious condition. and unfortunately many of these symptoms are silent until the later phases conditions, like high blood pressure high cholesterol being overweight having a poor diet, or even some genetics all do play a role. 

Cardiovascular disease is a serious condition. and unfortunately many of these symptoms are silent until the later phases conditions, like high blood pressure high cholesterol being overweight having a poor diet, or even some genetics all do play a role. 

 

But i am going to show you something today where there are dozens and dozens of clinical studies that show that garlic can resolve many of these conditions an increase in the ability of platelets to aggregate has been linked to the narrowing of blood vessels.

Today where there are dozens and dozens of clinical studies that show that garlic can resolve many of these conditions an increase in the ability of platelets to aggregate has been linked to the narrowing of blood vessels.

And the occurrence of acute thrombotic events the compounds in garlic have been found to inhibit platelet aggregation by downgrading the fibrogen binding activity which can inhibit. and prevent blood clotting in the arteries when there's blockage of blood supply to the heart we call that a heart attack when there's blockage of blood supply to the brain we call that a stroke garlic is also known to lower systolic and diastolic blood pressure the main compound in garlic called allicin prevents the production of angiotensin.

ii which is a compound responsible for increasing blood pressure by causing the blood vessels to tighten up and contract allicin also appears to increase the production of nitric oxide. which helps dilate the blood vessels allowing more blood to flow through easier.

which helps lower your blood pressure garlic will improve your cholesterol levels excessive cholesterol causes plaquing in the arteries the compounds in garlic lower the bad cholesterol the ldls raise the good cholesterol the hdls as well as lowering triglycerides now this clove of garlic has many healing medicinal properties that can do wonders for cardiovascular disease in helping prevent atherosclerosis that clogging of the arteries to help lower blood pressure. 

And to keep you healthy now you must crush or chop up this garlic and that's where we get the major biologically active component to help your cardiovascular system. and to prevent the buildup of plaque in the arterial walls so after you chop your garlic up you must let it sit in the open air for about 10 minutes this is where allosan expands. 

It grows at compounds this is where the magic lies in if you cannot eat the garlic raw. because it's too strong maybe the sulfur smell take some lemon and squeeze. it over that chopped garlic it will settle it down eat it raw. if all possible, if you can't put it in some water and drink it down add a little honey whatever it takes there's nothing like raw garlic.

 And in the last resort if you need to saute that garlic do it on a lower heat and a shorter time because excessive heat will denature and affect the allicin in that garlic so eat that garlic clove every day. and you will see within threeto four weeks tremendous changes in your cardiovascular system.

Some Kinds of Fish You Should Never Eat

Let’s talk about fish! Full of healthy omega-3, protein, and essential nutrients….... 

It can be the secret to a happy heart and a well-oiled body. But before you take a bite, there's something you need to know. 

Not all fish is equal, and choosing the wrong fish can actually do more harm than good. 

So today, we’ll dive into 7 fish you should never eat… as well as some of the best fish options… Plus important tips to follow when it comes to buying fish. We’ll also reveal a common fish that lives up to 150 years. and is very popular on restaurant menus.But we suggest you stay away from this one.

Because if a fish is 150 years old, it has been accumulating toxins all that time. And once those toxins get into your blood system… 

They wreak havoc in the body and brain. But before we dig in, can you do us a favor guarantee both you and  your heart will love them! 

 

Tilapia 

Tilapia is one of the most popular fish in the United States. However, there's one key reason to think twice about eating.

Tilapia:  Its omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.Omega-6 and omega-3 are essential  fatty acids that the body needs. 

However, too much omega-6 and not enough omega-3  leads to inflammation, high blood pressure, and increased heart disease risk. Unfortunately, tilapia is high in omega-6 and low in omega-3. In fact, tilapia has one of the worst omega-6 to omega-3 ratios of any fish. Even more alarming, imported tilapia often falls short of safety standards. 

The US FDA flagged a number of exporters for regularly sending tilapia with  unacceptable levels of harmful chemicals. Some of these chemicals are used  to control parasites in fish farms,  however they can be carcinogenic and  have been banned in many countries.Yet, some fish farmers continue to  use them and sell under the radar. Similarly, imported tilapia may contain  high levels of antibiotics. 

 

The overuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic-resistance,  which is a growing problem in human health. So, next time you're considering tilapia  for a healthy fish option, think again.

King Mackerel 

While other types of Mackerel are considered  healthy, King Mackerel should be avoided.One of the main concerns with king  mackerel is high levels of mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that accumulates,  leading to serious health problems such as: 

* Neurological damage * Kidney problems* and developmental delays in children. King mackerel, in particular, is known to have high levels of mercury compared to other fish. King Mackerel is a predatory fish. That means it’s at the top of the  food chain and consumes other fish. 

Because of this, they accumulate more toxins  over time… Such as PCBs and other toxins.Even if a chemical has been banned for decades,  it can still persist in the environment and accumulate in the fatty tissues of these fish. Which is why King Mackerel should be avoided. 

As mentioned, we’re only talking  about KING mackerel here.There are a number of types of mackerel. Other types, such as Atlantic Mackerel and Atka Mackerel, are lower in mercury and  higher in inflammation-fighting omega-3 fats. Atlantic and Atka Mackerel  are all-round healthy fish.

  

Orange Roughy 

This “slimehead” can live up to a whopping 150 years. They don’t mature until around 30 years old, So if you choose this fish, you’ll  likely be eating a 30 year old fish Which has accumulated toxins over those years. 

This can lead to higher levels of contaminants such as mercury, which as we  discussed, is harmful to humans.While mercury is the most discussed contaminant,  Orange Roughy can have all sorts of other toxins that have landed in the ocean throughout history. For example, a 2004 expedition collected orange roughy ranging from 1 year to 139 years old.

When scientists analysed the fish, they found concentrations of mercury,  arsenic, cadmium, and lead. 

These are known as “The Big 4” when  it comes to heavy metal poisoning.When we eat these toxins, they  work their way towards fatty tissue. And that’s where they accumulate. They attach to fat and cause inflammation…  

Decreasing cell function… causing fatigue…  brain fog… depression… As well as causing inflammation to artery walls… Which  is a major driver of heart disease. Interestingly, one study found that male Orange  Roughy have higher contamination than females… 

 

Possibly because females eliminate some of  their contaminants when they release eggs.Another concern is that Orange Roughyis an overfished species, which means that its populations are  being depleted as a result of overfishing.

This depletion is a major problem for biodiversity  loss and the disruption of ocean ecosystems. Ok, we’ve talked about mercury, so let’s  quickly run over the other high mercury fish to stay away.

* Swordfish * Shark * And Tilefish 

These are all known to contain high levels of mercury due to  their long lifespan and predatory nature. 

Before the 1950s, little was known about mercury  poisoning… until researchers started investigating high death rates in specific populations. Today, researchers know that mercury in fish is linked to increased cardiovascular disease, immune  system dysfunction, and endocrine disruption. 

It’s worth noting that the Mediterranean  basin is known to have abnormally high levels of mercury in their fish… compared  to fish caught in the Atlantic ocean. That’s because the Mediterranean  is believed to contain around 50% of the world’s mercury resources. 

According to the journal of Environmental Research, the Mediterranean basin has been studied  for over 20 years due to this phenomenon… where fish contain higher levels of mercury compared  to the same species in the Atlantic Ocean. 

 

A similar effect occurs with sea birds… where eggs  from the Mediterranean basin contain 3-4 times as much mercury as those in the Atlantic. Ironically, this is exactly where The island of Sardinia is located… One of the world’s 5 blue zones… 

Where people live the longest and have lower  rates of disease than anywhere else in the world. People eat a moderate amount  of fish on the island But it tends to be smaller fish  like sardines, anchovies, and cod… 

Toxins

Which are younger and in the middle  of the food chain… thus have lower levels of mercury and other toxins. As we’ll get to shortly, those are among the indicators to look for when choosing fish. Now, before we get to our final fish to avoid… 

However, the major problem with eel is that they  absorb so many toxins from their environment.For example, a study published in the  scientific journal Chemosphere found that dye from clothing and textile industries  makes its way into the tissue of eels.

Which is then be passed on to  humans if they eat the eel. Researchers took eels from 91 locations  in Belgian rivers, canals and lakes… and tissue analysis found that 77% of the sites had  contamination from highly toxic clothing dyes. 

In Taiwan, eel populations have been found to  contain alarming levels of cadmium poisoning, A heavy metal from the electroplating industry. This cadmium poisoning is associated with osteomalacia… where bones become soft and weak… As well as renal tubular malfunction a type of kidney failure.

 

Other studies found flame retardants and plasticizers in eels destined for eating. Finally, eating eel is not sustainable.Many eel species are endangered and their  populations have been significantly depleted due to overfishing and habitat destruction.

Eel Fish

A trend that’s accelerating as sushi and Japanese eel dishes become more  and more popular around the world.

 

Some eel species, like the European eel, are  protected under international conventions.Artificial eel reproduction  programs have failed, and as a result eel populations continue to decline. So that’s the worst fish that should be avoiding… 

 Now for the good news… there are a number of  fish options that are brilliant for health. Let’s discuss them now. Healthier Fish Options Some of the healthiest fish  to put on your plate include: * Salmon * Tuna * Sardines * Anchovies * Cod * and trout. 

These fish are high in omega-3 fatty acids,  which reduce inflammation, lower the risk of heart disease, and improve brain health. They are also a good source of protein and other essential nutrients. 

Most importantly, all except some tuna are  low in mercury and other contaminants. Tuna is a good source of potassium, magnesium and vitamin B12. But older and larger tuna can have high mercury to minimize your exposure, opt for  smaller, younger tuna, such as skipjack.

skipjack

Skipjack is often used in canned  tuna, so keep an eye out for that.Wild Caught vs Farmed Fish Wild-caught fish live their natural habitat, while farmed fish are raised  in man-made environments such as ponds or cages. 

It’s important to understand that the  health profile of each is vastly different.Wild caughtsalmon for example, is  higher in omega-3 and lower in omega-6, Which is important for preventing  inflammation and associated damage.

Wild caught also tends to contain fewer  contaminants, pesticides, and antibiotics. 

As we mentioned, these can  cause problems when we eat them Especially the growing problem  of antibiotic-resistance.So we recommend buying wild  caught whenever possible. 

You’ll know the difference because wild caught  salmon has a deeper red-orange color than farmed. And if you see the whole fish… wild caught  will have a large fanned tail from swimming against currents…as opposed to a  farmed fish with a small tail from hanging out in a caged pool all its life. And if you’re buying white fish fillets, look for firm flesh and a translucent white color. 

As they have  less time to build up contaminants.After all, a 5 year old salmon simply  hasn’t had time to accumulate toxins like that 100 year old Orange Roughy. So there you have it, 7 kinds of fish you should never eat… 

 

Tilapia 

King Mackerel 

Orange Roughy 

Swordfish

Shark 

Tilefish 

Eel 

Opt instead for low contaminant wild caught  Salmon, Sardines, Anchovies, Cod, and Trout…And take care with tuna… opting for  skipjack or limiting your consumption.
