Getting Outside Can Reduce Your Stress Levels (And Improve Your Gut Health)

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

There is a clear link between chronic stress and gut health. Continued exposure to stressful situations can actually change the composition of your gut flora, affect your digestion, and lead to conditions like Candida overgrowth. By reducing your stress levels, you can not only boost your immunity and reduce the chance of Candida overgrowth, but also avoid a host of other stress-related health issues.

Recent studies in Japan have shown that lowering blood pressure, fighting off depression and preventing stress-related illness may be a simple as taking a walk in the woods. In fact, the Japanese consider shinrin-yoku, or “forest bathing,” a preventative medicine. And it’s not about getting out in the wilderness, per se; it’s a lot simpler than that. It’s about hanging out in nature, enjoying the trees and taking in nature through all the senses. Japan has 48 official ‘therapy trails’, and intend to install several more.

There are a number of psychological studies that support the idea that spending time in nature relieves stress and stress-related symptoms. Being in nature has been found to improve cognition, relieve depression and anxiety, and boost empathy. This new information coincides with new evidence that we are experiencing nature less and less each year.

In 2008, more people lived in urban areas than outside of them. Over the past decade or two, the move to suburbia has reversed and more of us are returning to the cities. Coupled with this is the fact that many of us spend 8 hours or more of each day looking at electronic screens. Alan Logan, a naturopathic doctor and author, believes that as the digital age intensifies, North Americans are becoming more aggressive, less able to focus, more depressed, and fatter. He attributes this to the amount of time spent tethered to electronic interfaces. Even during outdoor exercise, are we ever truly unhooked? We bring our phones, our timers, and our music.

To benefit from nature, you need to be unplugged from everything else and focused on the moment in front of you. In fact, research shows that if you are distracted by an electronic device while walking outside, you may remain more irritable that your counterparts that are more “present” in their outdoor environment.

Yoshifumi Miyazaki, a physiological anthropologist and vice director of Chiba University’s Center for Environment, Health, and Field Sciences, has conducted experiments with more than 600 research subjects, and found that forest walks, when compared with urban walks, decreased the stress hormone cortisol by a little over 12 percent.

In Scotland, a study published under the journal Landscape and Urban Planning found that those living in areas where there were few parks, woodlands or other natural areas had higher cortisol levels.

In a 2011 study, 128 college runners performed better when surrounded by greenness. They experienced less fatigue and a feeling of invigoration.

Encouraged by these findings, other countries are following suit. South Korea is pouring money into a new National Forest Therapy Center, and Finland conducting its own studies. Even in the U.S, results of a pilot study at the University of Kansas and University of Utah show that three days of hiking and camping in the wilderness improved creativity scores by 50 percent. However, this is not a new idea, even if it is a new trend. Back in the 1970s, researchers at the University of Michigan noticed that simple things were most likely to relieve us of our stress, for example watching the rain, a sunset or a butterfly. Surprisingly, these benefits are derived even from looking at pictures of greenery in a lab.

But do these benefits last? In a study conducted in Tokyo in 2005 and 2006, the natural immune cells that tell virus and tumor cells to self-destruct (called NK cells), were increased by 40 percent among businessmen who walked in the woods for 3 days a week. Months later, their NK cell count was still 15 present higher than when they started. Urban walking trips showed no effect on NK levels.

What could be responsible for this? It’s possible just the aromatic oils of the trees affect us in a positive way. Test subjects showed that people sequestered in a hotel room that breathed in Hinoki Cypress vapors from a humidifier, showed a 20 percent increase in their NK levels.

In light of this, vacations and weekends may need to be treated not only as a break from stress, but as medicinal retreats. Try to go places where there are trees and where you are near water for maximum benefit. Gardening can produce a similar effect. It doesn’t take a lot of time outside, either. Some research shows that only 5 minutes each day can be beneficial. Take as much time as you can in nature; it could have benefits for your digestive health, energy levels, immunity and much more!

How To Get Stress Off Your To-Do List

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Stress is something that is becoming more and more prevalent, as the personal and professional demands of contemporary society increase almost by the day. We all know that stress can make us irritable and tired, but this is only one part of the problem.

Research over the last ten years has shown how stress can directly affect physical health too, and this has particular importance for those suffering from gut disorders like Candida overgrowth.

Prolonged periods of stress can change the communities of microbes in our intestines, known as the gut flora. These microorganisms play a vital role in maintaining a healthy immune system and protecting us from disease. In 2011, researchers at Ohio State University found that stress reduced the diversity of microorganisms in these communities. They also discovered that stress increased the numbers of pathogenic (harmful) bacteria.

This is bad news all round. These changes in our gut flora can lead to weakened immunity, poor digestion, and imbalances like SIBO or Candida. But the positive side of this is that it points us in the direction of another tool to improve our physical health.

We are all familiar with the traditional suggestions for stress relief such as breathing exercises, meditation, and physical activity. But there is a useful technique that absolutely everybody can do within their own homes and for free; making lists.

Though it may not seem as proactive as exercise or breathing activities, there are a number of reasons why the process of list making can be extremely beneficial in helping to ease stress.

The experience of stress can often make a person feel as though they have too much to do in too little time. The very nature of list making forces you to sit down, think hard, and record everything that needs to be done to achieve a degree of calm and relief. By creating a linear and visible list of all the tasks that need to be completed, you have in effect set yourself a game plan. It includes all of the tasks that may have appeared impossible when muddled together in your head.

Approaching these situations one at a time will make you feel as though you are really making progress. The feeling of achievement when you are able to tick one off the list will do you the world of good.

Thinking of the mind as a box with limited room. The act of writing down your tasks on paper can have the positive effect of clearing some space in your head. This allows you to focus on actually achieving them rather than just prognosticating. Taking your mental check list and turning it into a paper copy will free up valuable energy that can then be used to actually begin your objectives.

When the stress you are experiencing makes it feel as though absolutely nothing is going to be achievable, make sure to write a list of goals and tasks that are going to be realistically doable.

The prospect of a long line of heavy duty, life changing goals like getting out of debt, moving house or taking up legal matters can be completely overwhelming. An effective way to build up the physical and mental strength to tackle these bigger issues is to list and conquer a number of smaller goals that will provide you with the self esteem and belief to then face the large problems head on.

Try to break down your tasks into sets of smaller goals that do not seem as daunting to approach. The more mini goals you have ticked off on your list, the more visually appealing the list will look and the more confidence you will gain from having achieved a larger number of realistic tasks.

In this modern technological age, it does seem as though the days of the traditional pen and paper To-Do List are well and truly numbered. However, this could be argued to be a good thing.

There has been a huge number of apps and computer programs developed that allow you to create much more intricate and detailed lists than before. In many cases, having a list app on your phone allows you to have it on your person at all times. It can send you reminders, categorize tasks into low and high priority, and set deadlines. You can constantly update your achievements throughout day. Good examples are Wanderlust, Todoist and Any.do.

Reducing stress is just one part of a much larger set of lifestyle changes that can help to improve your gut health. In my Ultimate Candida Diet program, I describe how stress is one of the major causes of Candida, and how various changes to your diet and lifestyle can provide relief. As a first step, you can start by writing out a detailed list of every task that you need to do. Getting it on paper, and out of your mind, is a great start!

Gluten Sensitivities and Candida

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Is there a connection between gluten sensitivities and Candida Related Complex? They tend to appear together, and in fact gluten sensitivities are extremely common among Candida sufferers. But is this correlation or causation? Can a disturbed gut flora and Candida lead to gluten sensitivities?

In today’s article, I’m going to explain the connection between these two common conditions. This article will go some way to explaining why I recommend avoiding gluten entirely while you are recovering from Candida.

Gluten is a particularly difficult protein for us to digest, especially when many foods these days contain very high levels, and our digestive systems are simply not built to process it. Until you have managed to restore a normal balance to your gut flora, gluten is highly likely to be a problem food.

Gluten sensitivities are generally split between two different disorders named celiac disease (an auto-immune condition), and non-celiac gluten sensitivity (often known as gluten intolerance). In terms of the symptoms they cause, gluten intolerance in many ways just a ‘milder’ version of celiac disease, although the way in which they cause these symptoms is quite different.

Celiac disease is a hereditary condition where the consumption of gluten causes a specific immune response resulting in damage to the intestinal lining. This can lead to malabsorption of nutrients and various other problems. Simply put, eating gluten causes the body to attack itself.

Non-celiac gluten sensitivity, on the other hand, results in similar symptoms without the same kind of immune response and antibodies that we see in celiac disease. In other words, someone with gluten intolerance is sensitive to gluten without having full-blown celiac disease.

How does this all relate to Candida? Well, there is a protein on the surface of Candida Albicans that is very, very similar to the proteins found in gluten. This link was noted back in 2003, when a team of researchers postulated that C. Albicans might actually be a trigger for celiac disease.

This protein is named HWP1, and its structure is very close to that of alpha-gliadin and gamma-gliadin, two of the protein groups found in gluten. It is this close similarity that confuses your immune system.

When Candida Albicans attaches to the walls of your intestine and begins to spread, your immune system responds. As it attacks the Candida overgrowth, it also attempts to destroy the surface proteins like HWP1.

By attacking this particular protein (which is almost identical to the gluten proteins), your immune system starts to build a sensitivity to gluten. Over time, this can turn into an intolerance or even something very similar to celiac disease. Soon, an individual might find that eating gluten causes digestive issues, fatigue, headaches and many other symptoms of a gluten sensitivity.

Avoiding gluten is usually a good idea if you suffer from Candida Related Complex. If you are already suffering from a disturbed gut flora and a permeable intestinal lining, eating gluten can trigger an inflammatory response that will set you back. Focus on avoiding foods that will inflame your digestive system, and eating foods that will help to repair it.

Here’s something important that you should know. The HWP1 protein only appears when Candida Albicans takes its fungal form. As you may know, Candida can exist in both yeast and fungal forms. It is the fungal form in which Candida is able to grow more quickly and penetrate the intestinal lining. To avoid a Candida overgrowth, you need to prevent Candida switching from its yeast form to its fungal form.

A number of conditions need to be in place for Candida to take its fungal form, but the most important condition is that the surrounding environment must not be strongly acidic. Candida is much more likely to switch to its fungal (more dangerous) form in neutral or alkaline conditions. These conditions can be brought about by a round of antibiotics, the wrong diet, chronic use of antacids, or a number of other causes.

Your intestines should be a naturally acidic environment, but a combination of factors can result in them losing this acidity. Indeed, one of the main goals of the Candida diet and treatment plan is to restore a proper level of acidity to the intestines. The eating plan, supplements and other elements all contribute towards this.

As you can see, Candida Related Complex can trigger gluten sensitivities by tricking your immune system into attacking the proteins found in gluten. By activating the immune system in this way, Candida can create a long term sensitivity to gluten. However, by eliminating the Candida overgrowth you can also improve your digestion and (at least partially) say farewell to some of your food sensitivities too.

Penn Jillette’s 105-Pound Weight Loss is No Illusion

Everyone everywhere has started to notice that magician Penn Jillette is seemingly a very slender man all of the sudden. We will avoid making the same “he didn’t use magic!” joke that everyone else has referenced, but we will say that he looks incredible.

According to various sources, Jillette has lost somewhere around 105 pounds–an incredible amount of weight. Jillette told People Magazine that he was on six different pills a day to help with his high blood pressure. When doctors told him he could cut some of his medication out of his life by losing weight, Jillette took it to heart. The controversial comic-magician lost the weight by introducing a very low-calorie diet into his life. By consuming about 1,000 calories a day, Jillette lost 105 pounds in three or four months.

If you like to stalk celebrities and use their methods as your own, this one isn’t advisable. At a minimum, industry recommendations are to consume a minimum of 1200 calories per day. Anything less puts you at risk of jeopardizing basic metabolic functionality within your body.

As well, losing that much weight that quickly is not a typical recommendation either, as any nutritionist or doctor will advise about one to two pounds per week.

Since the rapid weight loss Jillette has already changed his eating habits. Upon reaching his goal weight in March, Jillette began following Dr. Fuhrman’s Nutritarian Diet — no animal products, processed grains, or additional sugar or salt. On this diet, Jillette is able to shift focus away from the 1,000 calorie restriction, and back to focusing on his body getting proper nutrition to sustain his new lifestyle and weight.

Jillette has reportedly started working out, as well.

Burn 900 Calories in POUND’s Euphoric New Drumstick Workout

By Nellie Acevedo for DietsInReview.com

Have you ever gotten bored with doing the same workout, week after week, month after month? *raises hand* I know I have. The repetitive nature of going for a run or to spin class can drive you crazy, and once in a while you want to try something different, something that awakens new muscles while keeping you mentally engaged. That workout is POUND Fitness.

When I walked into the class held at the Carlton in Midtown NYC, I was introduced to the founders of Pound Fitness — Kirsten Potenza and Christina Peerenboom. I was handed two Ripstix™ (light weighted drumsticks) to “rock out while I workout.”

The founders graciously took the time to get to know us and share background on how POUND Fitness started. Kirsten and Christina were both tired of the group fitness scene, often feeling like it was competitive and stiff. As drummers they realized that several muscle groups — including the core — are activated when there is the motion of beating the drums on a drum set.

In their own words: “POUND is a full-body workout that combines cardio, conditioning, and core work with the excitement and euphoria of drumming.”

. All of the moves had some form of drumming, like banging the sticks together over your head or simply just banging the floor next to you. When we began the class we did tons of squats and lunges, made a lot of noise and raised our heart rates–but I barely noticed because the music was so good and it was so much fun banging the sticks together with my fellow classmates.

Since it was a demo we only got to try five songs, but it was enough to get me hooked! I will be finding a local POUND class to add the much needed variety to my workouts. There are currently more than 2000+ certified POUND instructors nationwide (and in Canada) and the class burns up to 900 calories per session.
