Best raw dog food: The top natural doggy dinners

People are increasingly looking for the best raw dog food. It's not just a passing fad, as pet parents are beginning to favor it over commercial dog food in increasing numbers. While there's nothing wrong with the best dog food that you're probably buying at the moment, it has to be said that raw dog food has some unique advantages that are well worth bearing in mind. One of the biggest draws of the best raw dog food is that unlike more commercial options, it is free from the artificial preservatives that are often the hallmarks of processed options. It also has far fewer ingredients than regular dog food, which means your pup gets everything it needs, and nothing that it doesn't. Get the full list at PetsRadar

5 natural remedies to unblock inflamed sinuses, breathe easy

Sinusitis is not as bad as the common cold. Actually, sufferers swear that it is much worse. Sinuses evolved as a body part with a purpose and serve it well... except for those who suffer chronic congestion and infection. It can be very unsettling when swelling on the insides of the sinus lining disallows proper drainage of nasal fluids and leaves the space clogged. Sinuses are air-filled spaces behind the bones of the upper face: between the eyes and behind the forehead, nose and cheeks. The sinuses lighten the skull and improve our voices. But the larger function that they are there on the human body is for the main function of producing mucous that moisturises the inside of the nose. Thanks to this design, a marvel of Nature, the mucous layer protects the nose from pollutants, micro-or...

Do I need a wellness screening every year?

Physicians insist on the importance of regular wellness screenings — just don’t call them physicals. The term “physical” is outdated, says George M. Abraham, president of the American College of Physicians and chief of medicine at St. Vincent Hospital in Worcester, Mass. In reality, he says, what patients need is less a head-to-toe examination than an annual preventive visit — a chance for doctor and patient to check in and cover topics that might not come up during more focused sessions. Over the years, there has been a movement away from annual physicals and toward routine preventive screenings. Researchers are split on the concrete value of general health exams. In 2019, a systematic review of general health checks published in the Cochrane Database of Systemat...

The Beginner’s Guide to the Paleo Diet

Certain diets emphasize macronutrients—high-carb diets, low-carb diets, low-fat diets, high-fat diets, etc. For example, in the 1980s low-fat diets were all the rage, and as a result, all sorts of packaged low-fat cakes, cookies, and snack bars took over grocery store shelves like wildfire. However, while the original premise of the diet was that eating less fat would help people lose fat, it became evident that many of the processed and packaged foods we eat were still contributing to weight gain, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and overall disease risk. As a result, nutrition and wellness experts started encouraging people to focus less on specific macronutrients and rather on overall diet quality with the aim of consuming fewer processed foods. Thus, diets such as the paleo diet...

Men, here are the natural foods to increase your ‘stamina’

Omena, groundnuts, fish, arrowroots and cassava are some of the readily available natural foods that help men amass enough stamina in bed, Science and multiple interviews with experts reveal. The International Journal of Impotence Research projects that by 2025, 322 million men in the world would be suffering erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction (ED) refers to an inability to either produce or maintain an erection that is firm enough to have sexual intercourse. Partners of men with erectile dysfunction experience lower sexual satisfaction, correlated to the degree of ED in their partner. The principal risk factor associated with ED is age, and the increasing prevalence of ED is linked to the global ageing population. Read more at Standard Media.

Genetically modified food a step closer in England as laws relaxed

The prospect of genetically modified foods being grown and sold in the UK has come a step closer after changes to farming regulations that will allow field trials of gene edited crops in England. Companies or research organisations wishing to conduct field trials will still have to notify the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, the government announced on Wednesday, but existing costs and red tape will be removed so more trials are likely to go ahead. The immediate change is small, and affects only England, but the government says it will be followed by plans for new primary legislation that will allow far greater use of gene editing in crops in the UK, and a redefinition in law of genetic modification.
