Grain, or cereal, referrers to cultivated members of the grass family used as food.


Grains are staple foods throughout much of the world.


Because different types of grain do better according to the climate and other factors, different cultures use different grains as staples, for entirely practical reasons.


In the third world, many people subsist on grains, especially rice, wheat and maize. In developed countries where incomes are much higher,our consumption of grains appears to be lower. In fact, grain consumption is much higher than we realize due to a high consumption of meat. These animals are generally fed grain, especially corn.


Grains generally lack lysine, and essential amino acid. Vegetarians must complement grains with legumes such as lentils, beans and peanuts to supply this amino acid. Legumes lack methionine, an essential amino acid supplied by grains. Rice and dal, corn with beans and peanut butter sandwiches are common combinations of legumes and grains in various cultures.


Here is a list of common cereals from throughout the world:


* Wheat *


* Barley *


* Rye *


* Oats *


* Spelt *


* Einkorn *


* Emmer *


* Durum *


* Rice


* Maize (Corn in North America)


* Sorghum


* Millet


much higher

* Triticale (wheat - rye hybrid)


* Fonio


* Teff


* Wild Rice


* Note that grains marked with an asterisk are gluten-containing grains. Avoid if you have a gluten allergy or are celiac. Other grains contain glutens, but they are significantly different and do not affect people with celiac disease or those allergic to the gluten in wheat, barley, rye and oats. Even the gluten in oats is considered to be different enough from wheat gluten to be safe for celiacs, although this point is debatable.

There are many reasons for headaches and many effective remedies for headaches that don't have the risks that over the counter and prescription drugs have.


The Number One cause of headaches is stress. Stress will cause a contraction in the muscles.


If your headache is across the forehead--it can be caused by the kidneys.


If your headache is across the temples--it can be caused by the thyroid.


Headaches in corners of forehead--can be caused by the adrenal glands.


Headaches on the left side of the head, or the analytical side, can come from the stomach, constipation, or emotions that are not reconciled.


Headaches in the middle of the forehead, that are under the center of the eyebrow--can be caused by the sinuses.


Headaches behind the eye--can be caused by parasites, pituitary function, or pancreatic congestion.


When headache pain relief is urgent, I have found that if I apply 2 or 3 drops of Peppermint essential oil at the back of my neck and each temple, it provides me quick relief.


The reflex point for headaches is in the center soft area of your hand. One can mix Peppermint, Lavender and Marjoram oils together and apply it to the back of the neck and temples, as well as in the center of the hand for relief, as well.

apply back

Cluster headaches are intensely painful because of the burning, throbbing, and piercing feelings that one experiences. A cluster headache, is a headache pain that just does not go away. Try Basil, Peppermint, Marjoram, and Rosemary together, and apply it at the back of the neck, on the soles of the feet, and in the center of the hand for maximum benefits. The Marjoram reduces the tension; tension being a big part of the headache.

Heal Chronic Whole Body Inflammation

fatty acids

If you've read any of the recent reports about the dangers of inflammation you may be worried.


Doctors now agree that inflammation is the leading cause of disease and many people suffer from whole body inflammation.


You may be one of them.


It's a nutrition deficiency that causes much of this inflammation and can be easily corrected. More on that in a minute. First, let's look at why chronic inflammation is a problem for your health.


Inflammation Can be Deadly


The problem with chronic inflammation is that your brain is sending out little armies of white blood cells to "fix" areas that are ok. These cells destroy tissue - even healthy tissue - in their efforts to heal an area where they perceive a problem.


This overzealous effort can lead to heart attacks, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's Disease and many other chronic conditions.


To learn if you're experiencing too much inflammation in your body, you can have your doctor perform a simple test called a C-reactive protein test. This tests the levels of inflammation in your body and is common for arthritis or lupus patients.


A Solution to Whole Body Inflammation


One solution to chronic body inflammation is fish oil pills. These supplements are loaded with necessary Omega 3 fatty acids which control inflammation.


have plenty Omega

A 2008 study from Baylor University and Harvard Medical School found that patients who took fish oil supplements reduced inflammation in their body this boosted their immune systems.


Here's how it works. Omega 3 fatty acids are missing from most Western diets. If you eat a typical American diet with a lot of processed foods, you probably have plenty of Omega 6 fatty acids--also necessary--but not enough Omega 3's.
