Hello Followers,

Welcome to Monday and the last week of August!

Opportunities do not happen, you create them.

Using natural herbs is one of the best ways to improve your health and wellbeing.

And the best thing is herbs that heal the body can be easily grown at home, in your kitchen or small garden.

Herbs are proven to help with all kinds of ailments, from arthritis to weight loss, high blood pressure to anxiety.

There are plenty of natural herbs and remedies available that will make your life better.

You just need to know how to use them!

Herbs can be used as natural treatments for a variety of illnesses and ailments, often without the same side effects as conventional medicines.

 It is time to dive into the incredible health benefits of garlic and explore easy ways to incorporate it into your lifestyle today.

When someone mentions garlic, there is a good chance your mind jumps to the taste and smell.

The use of garlic is a staple in most cuisines adding flavor, spice, and a savory depth.

But garlic is SO much more than just a flavorful ingredient to add to your dinner.

Just one clove of garlic is packed with essential nutrients like selenium, manganese, potassium, magnesium, and vitamin C, offering a nutritional punch for meeting daily recommendations.

An even deeper look into its compounds suggests supplementing garlic as medicine, treating viruses, acne, and even combatting cancer.

So, again do not underestimate the power of spices and herbs in promoting health.

KNOWLEDGE IS A TREASURE, BUT PRACTICE IS THE KEY TO IT

DID YOU KNOW!

CT scans may contribute to 100,000 new cancer cases and account for 5% of all new cancer diagnoses in the US.

As the number of CT scans performed in the United States continues to rise, scientists are sounding the alarm over the potential long-term risks associated with the technology.

While CT scans can save lives by detecting serious health conditions early, the low doses of ionizing radiation involved may increase the risk of developing cancer in the future.

Recent research published in JAMA Internal Medicine predicts that CT scans performed in 2023 could be responsible for an estimated 103,000 new cases of cancer in the U.S.

These findings, based on historical data and the levels of radiation exposure during CT scans, suggest that the growing use of this technology could have a significant impact on public health.

The theoretical risk of developing cancer from a CT scan is thought to be very low on an individual level, but the rising number of CT exams has increased 30% since 2007 raises concerns about the cumulative effect.

The study indicates that CT scans may account for 5% of all new cancer diagnoses in the U.S.

Researchers warn that certain groups, like children, may be more vulnerable to the harmful effects of ionizing radiation.

Studies have shown that infants who undergo CT scans may have a higher risk of developing certain cancers, such as thyroid cancer.

Despite the concerns, experts caution that CT scans are still a vital diagnostic tool.

They emphasize that the risk from CT scans is far outweighed by the benefits when it comes to detecting diseases like cancer and early heart conditions.

Still, researchers advocate for reducing unnecessary CT scans and exploring alternatives, such as radiation-free imaging methods, when possible.
