Because it happened during the week of the World Economic Forum's meetings in Davos, Switzerland, consider the following three articles to be your PSA that if you weren't including certain foods, herbs and spices in your winter regimen before, now is the time to start. None of these articles I'm about to share are short! I recommend putting together your favourite beverages, maybe one per article, your favourite snacks, a comfey chair, and perhaps put on a fireplace movie if you don't have an actual fireplace. Then open each of these articles one by one, with a notepad and pen handy, and maybe have a pillow nearby to scream into if you feel it necessary. Use your notes to inform your shopping and meal/snack plans going forward. If you'd like assistance with this, do reach out to me.

in answer to yesterday's article, I went looking for something to make for myself. Two questions came to mind: Could one make chickpea hummus with carrots, and can one blend cheese into hummus? Various people do include carrots in their hummus. I then found a recipe for a cottage cheese hummus, and figured I could swap in my cheese sauce instead. While digging these up, I found another way to prepare dry chickpeas that doesn't involve soaking all night. I enjoyed my first meal with the dip, and then went to my database. As noted in yesterday's article, vitamin's A,C, and E have been noted to help with anti-inflammatory action in the lungs. Both A and E are fat soluble, and that is provided in my dip with the cheese sauce made from heavy cream. Parsley is in the list of foods containing beneficial compounds for lung health and healing, boasting 9 of the 29 compounds that bring down inflammation and help restore function, Onions contain both cysteine and quercetin, both found by researchers to be beneficial in the quest for better lung health. Strategic eating for the win! Imagine being able to enjoy your food and benefit from it at the same time?! Strategic eating can benefit you as well. Reach out if you'd like to learn how food can be medicine in your home.

We were recently approached at the Rutland Flea Market, with whether or not we had any teas that would be recommended for someone suffering COPD. The day was slow, so Ashley began looking up a few studies online, sent me a couple links, and when we got home, I began my own research. Various compounds found in food, herbs and spices have been observed for their ability to address some aspect of COPD. A few of the herbs are in one or more of the teas we sell on Ashley's Ashtree Wildcrafting table, and we have zeroed in on the specific tea to offer the inquirer when we see them again. COPD is a multi-faceted condition that can begin a number of ways, including smoking or being around smokers, poor long-term dietary choices, age, and bacterial lung infections. The COPD sufferer needs to assess their lifestyle, their environment, and their daily food habits if they want to begin the road to healing. If you are suffering asthma, COPD, emphysema, or similar ailments and you got to the end of this article wondering how you'd make use of this information for yourself, feel free to reach out to me using this form, and let's chat.

The Cleveland Clinic has come out with a study of their employees, 54,000 of them, to study the effectiveness of the flu shot. They discovered that those who got the shot were almost 27% more likely to get the flu than those who were unvaxxed. In trying to briefly see what other studies existed, a family member went to google and found their AI giving mainstream regurgitation instead of actual information on the studies. So if the shot is useless and you can't trust the information you're digging up, how do you handle going into each year's mass bout of ill health? Boost your immune system naturally, and avoid the hidden trouble with getting shots. That hidden trouble often doesn't manifest till years down the road when you are now feeding mainstream medical's remedies for the problems they inserted into your body.

While the CNN reference taking up several pages could have been omitted, Mercola's pulled together a number of studies and reports that are showing alarming trends around the whole GLP-1 drug craze. He then lists a number of more useful steps a person can take if they want the purported results of GLP-1 without risking the adverse side effects that are growing in number out there. Repairing your gut is at the top of the list, because a certain gut bacterium is known to do the job that many GLP-1 drugs claim to do, without the side effects. If you want to see the studies for yourself, go to the end of his article and click on the papers you want to read. The footnotes will take you directly to each paper or article. If you would like assistance with putting that workable list into practice, or wanting to know what foods, herbs and spices can help you achieve a similar goal, reach out to me and lets chat. https://media.mercola.com/ImageServer/Public/2026/January/PDF/glp1-drugs-hair-loss-metabolic-stress-alopecia-pdf.pdf

Canada's public health agency is waging war against meat, but in the broader focus, against protein in general. Health Canada has been targetting chicken farms in the Lower Mainland of BC, and turkey farms out in Ontario, killing what one article called "millions of birds" out there! This of course will drive up the cost of poultry and eggs. Health Canada has also set their sites on the beef industry in Canada, and recently declared a recall on one of the currently most-affordable options to get beef back into low-income diets, No Name Beef Patties in their trademark yellow box with black lettering. The concern this time, is potential E.Coli poisoning, although they state in the article that no one has fallen ill yet, but that testing may expand the recall to a wider range of products! Maybe its my lack of trust in the mainstream establishment, but this all sounds contrived, and very much agenda-driven.

It's time for the Top 25 for 2025! This is the moment when we look at what the most popular articles were from last year, and get a glimpse into who is viewing them. Apparently bread-making was at the very top of the list! People wanting to learn about my services got a good number of hits as well, which I find very encouraging. Both my cookie articles made it into the top 25! Who says going wild means giving up fun things like sweets? (we won't mention the brain needs sugar, just not at junkfood levels). I was happy to see how many devotional commentaries made it into the top 25 articles. As your Biblical Natural Health Coach, my premise does come solidly from Scripture as the final authority on what I share and do. I stopped keeping up with the latest in SEO rules and regulations, and even without those efforts anymore, the following list of referrers showed up for 2025: As problematic as gab has been over this past year for me as a user, it has sent a fair number of visitors to my content. Both Librti and USA.life, two other alternative platforms that I am on, have sent traffic as well. Lists like this show that no matter where you live, shifting to a more natural way of handling your health using food as medicine is a common train of thought these days. The baffling thing for me, is seeing decidedly muslim nations in the list. Places such as Saudi Arabia, Iraq, and Indonesia. it is my prayer that the true seekers among them will find Christ as their Lord and Saviour. If you've never made this decision and want to learn more, reach out to me and let's chat. This concludes our look back over 2025 and what it meant for content people are viewing on Naturalhealthgodsway.ca. Here's looking out across 2026, and asking God to go with us into a year that promises to be adventurous in more ways than one.

Title: Simple Pregnancy Exercises That Help During Labor Description: Labor is a natural process, but it requires strength, endurance, and body awareness. Gentle exercises during pregnancy can help train your muscles to handle contractions and physical pressure more comfortably. Activities like walking help build stamina, while stretches improve flexibility in the hips, thighs, and pelvis. Pelvic floor exercises support important muscles that play a key role during delivery and recovery. Movements such as pelvic tilts may reduce back discomfort and help the baby move into a better position. Squatting exercises can also support the natural opening of the pelvis. These exercises do not require special equipment or intense effort and can be adjusted based on comfort and medical advice. Staying active in a safe way may help you feel more relaxed and prepared as your due date comes closer. Small, consistent movements can support both your body and your confidence during pregnancy. Click on the link and read our article to discover easy and effective exercises that can help you prepare for labor naturally. https://lovemere.livejournal.com/12866.html

Many reach their older years and begin slowing down, often by choice because, that's what you do when you get older, right??? Not if farmers I know, horse owners I know, and others who remain very active into their older years have anything to say on the matter. The notion that after a certain milestone, it's time to slow down, is a bunch of crock that is damaging and shortening many lives. My focus is wholefood as medicine that might grow outside your front door, but guess what? Going out to get that wild-grown food takes time, effort, and action to do. But again, you're getting fresher air than staying indoors, getting exercise, benefiting from getting your hands dirty (literally, just ask any dedicated gardener about their overall health) and you're getting free food and medicine that lowers your older years' expenses that mainstream medicine might try to thrust on you! Maybe you're a brown thumb like me and can't garden because you kill everything. But you can harvest what God grows out there and eat better than visiting the produce section at the store AND stay out of the pharmacy at the same time. Your physical and financial health both benefit here. To read the full article, click here: https://naturalhealthgodsway.ca/2026/01/06/ageing-gracefully-naturally/

7-Eleven had a computer glitch that multiplied gas charges by 100 times 😨 Imagine filling up your tank with $40 and finding out the gas station charged $4,000. That's what happened to a whole bunch of Bay Area 7-Eleven customers. https://notthebee.com/article/7-11-computer-glitch-multiplies-customer-credit-card-charges-by-100
