The Top Health Problems Facing People in North America
Despite all the incredible breakthroughs, research, and hundreds of years of medicinal information available, we still struggle with common health problems.
We can blame the air, drinking water, or even the soil our food is grown in... but, we can't really avoid all toxins.
Our bodies are incredibly good at adapting, detoxing, and healing—as long as they have the right tools.
The Most Common Health Problems:
- High blood pressure
- Depression
- High cholesterol
- Coronary artery disease
- Type 2 diabetes
Ever wonder why some make it to the ripe old age of 90 without any of these conditions?
A small island in Greece may hold the answer...
In Ikaria, (a small island in the Mediterranean Sea) people are far more likely to live to 100 years old and beyond!
There, diets rich in fish, vegetables, and a highly active lifestyle with plenty of social interaction make a big difference.
One common food in those places is Black Cumin.
Black Cumin is just one of the foods found in Ikaria, but an incredibly beneficial one.
Supports Wellbeing: In folk medicines, Black Cumin was used for wellbeing, energy, and fatigue. Modern studies demonstrate an anti-anxiety effect through the modulation of GABA levels in the brain. It’s also shown to help improve sleep quality, which could certainly help alleviate related issues.
Supports Blood Pressure and Cholesterol: One study of 90 people showed that 2 teaspoons of black cumin oil after breakfast reduced LDL (Bad) cholesterol after 6 weeks. Another study of 70 adults noted that just a half-teaspoon (2.5ML) of black cumin twice a day supported healthy blood pressure levels in 8 weeks.
Both blood pressure and high LDL levels are associated with heart problems and coronary disease.
Supports Blood Sugar Levels: Several studies including some recent ones showed two grams of black cumin per day for just 20 days supported significantly healthier blood sugar levels in those with type 2 diabetes.
This incredible ancient herb doesn’t fix everything… but its powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits make a difference.
Supports Detoxification: It even helps the body flush toxins by supporting kidney and liver function.
If you want to support overall health, you definitely should try taking black cumin oil daily!
