It is well known, from countless scientific studies, that regular consumption of omega 3 is essential to reduce the risk of heart disease, given its anti-inflammatory properties and ability to reduce blood triglyceride levels. It also has direct benefits as “brain food”, being associated with a lower risk of anxiety and depression. It should be prescribed in case of chronic inflammation, a factor that can accelerate everything from arthritis to the growth of malignant tumors. Thanks to its antioxidant properties, it helps stop skin aging; and -finally- its consumption is associated with a lower risk of eye diseases.
Spoonfuls of mushrooms
It would be very healthy to consume a daily portion of mushrooms throughout the year, but, for various reasons, this option sounds like a chimera or nonsense. So why not consume powdered mushrooms…daily? It is possible, and very simple, by mixing a teaspoon of mushroom elixirs with any drink or food. For example, Reishi or Astragalus, which promote balance; Shiitake, to increase our energy; Chaga, to enhance skin beauty; o Lion’s Mane to improve our mental clarity.
Different types of cough
Coughing is a defense mechanism of our body to clear the airways. And there are different types, which we must know as soon as possible to stop their effects. Productive cough: with mucus and phlegm, it occurs in the lower respiratory tract and can accompany colds and flu, but also pneumonia. Psychogenic cough: it is chronic, has nervous origin and occurs in certain situations of psychological pressure. Dry or unproductive cough: affects the upper airways, is irritating and is usually caused by pharyngitis, allergies, asthma or smoke. Regarding its duration, it can be from less than 3 weeks (acute cough) to more than 8 weeks (chronic cough).
