Study says cellphone use may cause cancer - FOX 35 News Orlando

Study says cellphone use may cause cancer - FOX 35 News Orlando



New research has been added to the debate over cell phones causing brain cancer.
A study suggests it goes even further.
A Ukrainian scientist looked at hundreds of studies into how radio-frequency from phones can damage DNA.
He claims the damage can build up over time and can lead to brain tumors, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s disease and more.
He also says using your phone for just 20 minutes a day for 5 years triples your risk of one type of brain tumor.
To minimize risk, he recommends using hands-free devices.

Magnesium - You may not be getting enough

Fox News reports that you may not be getting enough Magnesium

http://www.foxnews.com/health/2015/07/30/magnesium-mineral-may-be-missing/



Magnesium helps to maintain normal muscle and nerve function, as well as normal heart rhythm. It reduces inflammation, helps boost your immune system, regulates blood sugar and is needed for more than 350 biochemical reactions in the body. Together with vitamin D, magnesium also plays a key role in preventing osteoporosis.
Magnesium deficiency has been associated with many chronic illnesses including atherosclerosis, heart attack and stroke, hypertension, obesity, metabolic syndrome and diabetes mellitus, asthma, migraine headaches, anxiety and depression.
Common symptoms of magnesium deficiency are fatigue, muscle cramps, palpitations, headaches, insomnia and anxiety.
The human body does not make magnesium and it relies on dietary intake to maintain adequate levels. It can be found in dark green leafy vegetables like broccoli, spinach and Swiss chard. Nuts and seeds like almonds, cashews, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds will also help add more magnesium to your diet, as well as certain fish like halibut and mackerel. Some dairy products like Greek yogurt can give you 19 milligrams of the mineral in one container.
I regularly check RBC magnesium levels on all my patients and I have found the vast majority to be deficient. In addition to recommending increased magnesium intake through diet, I often suggest a magnesium supplement that can be taken either orally or through the skin.
I recommend patients find a magnesium supplement that ends in "ate," for example magnesium citrate, magnesium glycinate, magnesium threonate and magnesium malate. My personal favorite is magnesium dimalate (JIGSAW), because it has a slow release technology which means better absorption and few, if any, untoward side effects like loose stool or diarrhea.

Last Blue Moon till 2018

http://globalnews.ca/news/2143884/last-blue-moon-until-2018/

A glowing globe graced the sky Friday night, lighting up long-weekenders’ faces and their social media feeds.

The simplest explanation of a Blue Moon is that it is the second full moon in a calendar month. There was a full moon July 02nd, 2015, and a second one July 31st, 2015.
This is a rare occasion. It only happens every 2 to 3 years. The next Blue Moon won’t be seen again until 2018.
