The following 5 recipes for bedtime drinks will help you sleep better as well as detoxify your liver. Liver detox is particularly important if you want to lose weight because it cleanses the blood thus promotes the fat digestion and increases the metabolic rate.

Liver health has been compromised by poor dietary choices and continued exposure to environmental toxins, making it inefficient to perform its functions. Therefore, it is increasingly important to opt for a cleaning plan that helps remove any waste that disrupts the functions of the same, for it, the following detox drinks will provide the medicinal qualities to help you lose weight.

PROMOTE YOUR HEPATIC AND LOW WEIGHT HEALTH WITH THESE 5 DETOXIFYING DRINKS
These night detox drinks are excellent because normally the rest of the liver cleanings are made early in the day, before breakfast but traditional Chinese medicine considers that the liver works best between 1 and 3 in the morning when the body is found Resting.
When the liver is given nutrients from infusions before going to sleep, it promotes the conditions necessary to do a complete and proper cleaning, which will make the metabolism much healthier, reduce the number of toxins in the body and increase the burning of fat.

1. Chamomile infusion: better known as chamomile tea, it is an excellent infusion of drinking at night as it is mild to digest and assists in cleansing the liver by the antioxidants it possesses. On the other hand, it also has sedative properties that control the nervous system, improving the quality of sleep and relieves stress. In addition to the antioxidant and sedative properties, it has anti-inflammatories that are perfect for relieving tension from inflamed muscles and tissues.

You will need 1 tablespoon of chamomile flowers and 8 ounces of water.

PREPARATION:
Bring the water to a boil, and when it boils, remove from the heat and add chamomile flowers.
Let stand for 10 minutes and then drink.
Repeat it every night for at least two weeks.
2. Hot lemon water: lemon is a drink famous to be consumed at the beginning of the day but it is also extremely efficient if you drink at night and it is that for no one is a secret that lemon has diuretic and cleaning properties that assist liver function to improve liver function.

You will need 1 lemon and 6 ounces of water.

PREPARATION:
Heat the water and when ready, add the lemon juice.
Take it half an hour before going to sleep for three weeks in a row, at least.
4. Ginger and lemon tea: both make a perfect combination to promote weight loss and in turn, improves health. Both ginger and lemon are rich in vitamin C and other antioxidants that prevent diseases in order to optimize metabolism. In the case of ginger, it is an effective anti-inflammatory to treat common conditions such as cellulite and also has a thermogenic effect that increases the consumption of calories and removes waste substances. And the lemon by its side strengthens the immune system because it acts as a cleanser that decreases abdominal swelling.

You will need 1 slice of ginger, ½ lemon and 8 ounces of water.

PREPARATION:
Bring to the boil the cup of water and add the slice of ginger with half the lemon juice.
Let stand for 10-15 minutes, then stir.
You can drink it at least 3 times a week.
4. Peppermint Tea: It is a healthy drink that contains digestive enhancing properties, especially after having eaten abundantly, menthol and Mentone essential oils increase the body’s ability to remove waste products that remain in the liver and colon.

You will need 2 tablespoons mint leaves (20 grams) and 8 ounces of water.

PREPARATION:
Add the mint leaves in the bowl and let it boil for 2 minutes.
Cover and then serve to drink, especially half an hour before bed.
Take it every night for at least 3 weeks.
5. Oatmeal: oats are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, which are excellent for improving digestion while cleaning the liver and intestine. Similarly, it produces a relaxing effect that increases the sense of well-being at night to promote restful sleep.

You will need 1 cup of organic whole oats, 6 cups of purified water and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder.

PREPARATION:
Soak oats for 7 hours
Once the time has elapsed, strain it and clean it with pure water to remove the anti-nutrients and enzyme inhibitors that are released during soaking.
Once it is clean and drained, liquefy it with cinnamon and water.
Put it in a pitcher (you can glue it too) and serve with ice to taste.

71% Of Military Age Americans Too Sick To Join, Study Says

https://www.naturalblaze.com/2018/03/71-percent-military-age-americans-too-sick-join.html

The United States is now facing a security crisis the likes of which it has never faced before. Although we are awaiting the attempts to blame it on them, it’s hard to see how the State Department or the corporate media can pin this on on the Russians.

According to a new study by the Heritage Foundation, nearly 71% of young U.S. citizens are ineligible to serve in the military. To be more specific, out of 34 million people, between the ages of 17 and 24, more than 24 million are unable to join the military. Sixty percent of those ineligible to join are ineligible due to health problems or physical fitness. Around one-third are too obese.

Indeed, 27% of young Americans are “too overweight for military service.”

“The obesity issue is the most troubling because the trend is going in the wrong direction…by 2020 it could be as high as 50%,” said Major General Allen Batschelet, former Commander of U.S. Army Recruiting Command “back in 2015, “which means only two in ten would qualify to join the Army.”

Other common health concerns are hearing and eyesight problems, asthma and mental illness.

The study also shows that a quarter of those unfit for military service, are due to intelligence factors and are unable to complete their high school education and lack a “basic understanding of written and cognitive skills…to complete an organized program.”

The research points out that these individuals are considered unfit despite the fact that the military routinely accepts people who do not complete their high school education and “rarely pass the armed forces qualification test.”

Another 10% were ineligible due to a criminal record.

The national security issue comes to play when one realizes that this stunning commentary on the intellectual, mental and physical health of the United States will lead to a very serious shortage of recruits for the military, meaning that the U.S. military will suffer from a lack of manpower.

All ready, the U.S. Army is having a hard time meeting its 2018 goal of enlisting 80,000 volunteers.

Army Major General Malcolm Frost, Commander of the Army’s Initial Military Training Command, publicly stated in 2017, that “I would argue that the next existential threat that we have… is the inability to man our military.”

One highly important point to mention, is that the southern states, who have traditionally supplied the military with the largest amount of recruits, are experiencing even more concerning health issues than their Northern and Western counterparts.

South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee and Texas are “significantly less fit, and consequently are more likely to encounter training related injuries and recruits from other U.S. states,” according to recent research conducted by the Citadel, the U.S. Army Public Health Center and the American Heart Association.

The southern states mentioned above make up more than 37% of new recruits.

Thus, Americans’ poor health, dropping IQ and mental instability have reached such a proportion that it is now a national security issue.

While there are many other factors at play in regards to national security and the ability to man the military, such as an expansive military presence across the world and a constant state of warfare – America must begin to make drastic changes in its food supply, healthcare and culture unless it wants to do to itself what no outside power is capable of doing.

Epidemiology of cancer and diabetes

https://www.diapedia.org/associated-disorders/6104460119/epidemiology-of-cancer-and-diabetes?utm_content=bufferf72a8&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

There is a growing body of evidence to support a relationship between diabetes and cancer. Epidemiologic studies have observed a higher incidence of various types of cancer among individuals with diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, as compared with people without diabetes. People with diabetes also have poorer survival than non-diabetics after a diagnosis of cancer. The relationship between diabetes and cancer incidence and/or mortality is however complex, and potential sources of bias need to be considered with care when interpreting the data. Furthermore, the association with diabetes varies in important respects between cancer types, which need to be considered on an individual basis rather than collectively when assessing the relationship between diabetes and cancer.

Introduction
Studies from the early part of the last century suggested that people with diabetes were less likely to die of cancer than non-diabetic individuals, an observation that can be explained by ‘competing risks’ (i.e., causes of death) - in this case the high mortality from accelerated arterial disease in the diabetic population. As cardiovascular risk management in diabetes becomes more effective, the morbidity and mortality associated with cancer will inevitably increase in the diabetic population.

Many recent studies have in contrast confirmed a strong positive association between diabetes and many types of tumour[1][2]. Furthermore, people with diabetes have a shorter survival after a diagnosis of cancer than non-diabetic individuals, although this might once again be due in part to competing risks (higher diabetes-associated mortality).[3]

Diabetes type and cancer
Since 90-95% of people with diabetes in the general population have type 2 diabetes[4], and belong to an age group more commonly affected by cancer, much more is known about the relationship between cancer and type 2 diabetes than about type 1. The comparison between the conditions is of particular interest in that a similar pattern of cancer risk in the type 2 and type 1 populations would support a causal role for hyperglycemia, whereas a different pattern would point to non-glycemic factors.

Risk for Individual Cancers in type 2 diabetes
Summary data from meta-analyses of cancer risks in type 2 diabetes are shown in the figure.

The strongest association between diabetes and incident cancer is for Pancreatic cancer[5] and Liver cancer and diabetes[6] ; however, ‘reverse causality’ (where the cancer itself leads to diabetes) may in part overestimate the magnitude of this relationship. The risk for Endometrial cancer is approximately twice as high in the diabetic population.[7]

Individuals with diabetes also have a moderately elevated risk (20-40%) of incident Breast Cancer, Colorectal cancer, Bladder cancer and diabetes, thyroid and kidney. There is no consistent evidence for an increased risk of lung or ovarian cancers in the diabetic population.[8]

A notable exception is Prostate cancer and diabetes, where men with diabetes have a 15% lower risk of prostate cancer than non-diabetic men, possibly due to lower endogenous testosterone levels in men with diabetes.[9][10]

Cancer Mortality and Diabetes
Individuals with diabetes also have a higher risk of dying from various cancers, including prostate cancer, compared with individuals who do not have diabetes. In general, findings for increased cancer mortality reflect cancer incidence. Among cancer patients, those with diabetes have a higher risk of mortality if they have colorectal, liver, pancreatic and bladder cancers.

There is less consistent evidence around the risk of mortality among diabetic individuals with breast and endometrial cancer.[3] Competing risks may potentially confound comparisons between survival in the diabetic and non-diabetic populations, since people with diabetes have a higher cardiovascular mortality than those without.

Biologic plausibility
Associations at the epidemiologic level correlate with results from biologic experiments. The leading hypothesis for the association between diabetes and cancer is that hyperinsulinemia (i.e., high insulin levels), a common feature of diabetes, also promotes the growth of cancer cells, which typically express the insulin receptor.[1]. See Hyperinsulinemia and cancer. Although hyperinsulinemia is the leading biologic hypothesis, hyperglycemia (see Hyperglycemia and cancer) and chronic inflammation may also play a role in promoting cancer growth.[1][2]

Shared risk factors for cancer
The relationship between diabetes and cancer is unique to each cancer site and differs by sex and the type of diabetes (i.e., type 1 vs. type 2). Both diabetes and cancer are chronic diseases associated with an aging population. Aside from age and sex, modifiable risk factors such as obesity, smoking, alcohol use, diet, physical inactivity and other lifestyle choices are factors that increase the risk for both diseases. This combination of common non-modifiable (i.e., age, sex, genetics, etc) and modifiable (i.e., smoking, diet, etc) risk factors increases the likelihood for an individual with diabetes to also develop cancer and adds to the complexity of describing excess cancer risk in the diabetic population.

Methodological considerations
Given the indolent and slowly-progressing nature of both cancer and diabetes, ascertaining cancer rates in the diabetic population is challenging. Ideally, studies should have two cancer-free cohorts of individuals: one with newly diagnosed diabetes and another without diabetes, both of which should be followed for a long enough duration for cancer to develop (i.e., several years).[2]

Some epidemiologic methods used to describe cancer rates in individuals with diabetes may be prone to ‘detection bias’ (where a visit to a doctor at the time of diabetes diagnosis makes it more likely for the doctor to find an undiagnosed cancer), which may overestimate the risk of cancer in people with newly diagnosed diabetes. [11][12] Other studies may be prone to ‘lead time bias’ (where individuals must survive a certain amount of time after a diagnosis of diabetes to be included in a study), which may underestimate the rates of cancer in the diabetes population.[13] Other methodologic considerations surrounding epidemiologic research of diabetes and cancer were highlighted in two recent consensus papers published by members of the international Diabetes and Cancer Research Consortium.[2][3]
