[…]at speeds of up to 87mph. Oh, and the only sound you’ll hear comes from the wheels and air resistance. The Coradia iLint, powered by huge lithium ion batteries which get their energy from a hydrogen fuel tank on the roof of the train, only emits excess steam into the atmosphere and provides an alternative to diesel trains. The hydrail can travel almost 500 miles per day at speeds of up to 87mph. Oh, and the only sound you’ll hear comes from the wheels and air resistance. The train, first presented at Berlin’s InnoTrans trade show in August, will be […]
[…]muscle you have the more “insulin resistant” you become. What happens when you have insulin resistance? One of 3 things happen when you eat sugar and have insulin resistance: Ideal Scenario: Glucose is used as fuel, which helps build lean muscle and boosts your metabolism. In this scenario, glucose, your primary energy source is used to help you burn calories efficiently and eventually, burn fat. Ok Scenario: Glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver or muscles for later use as fuel. In this scenario, your happy liver holds on to your glucose for later use (i.e. exercise, or missing […]
[…]2015 study in the Journal of Applied Physiology found that people who did an eight-month bout of resistance and aerobic exercise saw an improvement in the blood glucose levels, but lost almost half of these benefits after 14 days of inactivity.” Around week four: Your strength starts slipping. While some people may notice their strength decline after about two weeks of inactivity, others will see a difference around week four. Thankfully our strength diminishes at a slower rate than our endurance. Within eight weeks: You may start to gain fat. By week six you should notice a difference on the scale or in the […]
[…]scientists found that the remaining bacteria was actually made stronger. The proportion of antibiotic-resistant bacteria was found to have doubled as a result of the treatment. “Initially, 0.3 percent of E. coli carried a gene for resistance, whereas 0.6 percent did after treatment,” wrote Allison Bond for Reuters. The effects of this on humans is still not fully known however, microbiologist John Scott Meschke from the University of Washington in Seattle has stated that current water purification techniques are adequate for making water safe enough to drink, but that may not be the case. *Article originally appeared at Organic & […]
Did you know that infusing cannabis into wine has been practiced for thousands of years? Early records from the Han Dynasty in China point to the ganja and grape combo being used to knock out patients before surgery. In the United States, cannabis-infused wine was quietly developed in the 80s, in California, where “pot wine” was something wine makers would ferment and share with friends or at private gatherings. It was generally made with rosé wines, in unlabeled bottles, and quite expensive and the war on drugs made it a risky business. As marijuana laws are changing and make it more accessible, wine drinkers in states like California are increasingly […]
[…]benefits of unplugging from time to time are proven to result in a more stable personality, stress-resistance and other mental-health benefits. Some people even report having „otherworldy“ exeriences and „out of body“ travels through space and time. This is the reason why I personally wanted to try it. To find information about my own personality deep within me, maybe even detach from my body but mainly to just be alone. And Aliens!Alone with myself, as I am that type of person who can’t stand loud and busy environments, a floating tank seemed like the perfect surroundings for my deep-thinking. Obviously […]
[…]team approximately $100,000 per year to study, for example, how cannabinoids can lower human resistance to antibiotics. Even if the motivations for funding were asinine, the fact is the U.S. government funded the discovery of the active compounds in cannabis and some of their first medical applications. Instead of acknowledging these advancements and using them to guide lawmaking, the U.S. continues insisting to this day that cannabis has no medical value. It boggles the mind how the feds can cling to this position, considering not only the revelations of Mechoulam but also the fact that cannabis had already become a […]
[…]but have diets rich in fats, putting them at risk of developing cardiovascular disease, insulin resistance and abdominal obesity,” Ferreira explained. For the study, the team conducted an experiment with 50 mice, treating them with flavanones found in oranges, limes and lemons, or a high-fat diet. They focused on flavanones such as hesperidin, eriocitrin and eriodictyol. For a month, researchers gave groups either a standard diet, a high-fat diet, a high-fat diet plus hesperidin, a high-fat diet plus eriocitrin or a high-fat diet plus eriodictyol. The group who consumed high-fat diet without the flavanones showed increase in the levels of […]
[…]forward thinking company is continuing their efforts to change state law but they face strong resistance from powerful dealership lobbies across the country (is anyone else tired of lobbyists?). What Telsa tried to argue in Missouri was that it could issue a franchise agreement to itself, thereby satisfying the local legal requirements. However, Judge Green said that the law requires the franchisee be a wholly separate entity. We wish them luck. I should be able to buy a car wherever I want, from whomever I want. This law does nothing more than protect the big guys from competition. What are they […]
[…]you fat — it’s the inability to burn fat that makes you fat, which may be caused by leptin resistance. Studies show women are more sensitive to leptin levels than men, and toxins can disrupt leptin signaling. Toxins are fat soluble and have an affinity for fat cells. They attach themselves to cell membranes and cause those cells to over-secrete leptin, which results in leptin resistance. These toxins also release cytokines that damage leptin receptors in your brain, and once those are damaged, weight loss and cellulite reduction are very difficult. If you’re on toxic overload, exercise may even backfire […]
[…]either no exercise, aerobic exercise or resistance training. After the diet, the women who did the resistance training maintained their muscle mass, metabolism and strength. The others lost weight, but also lost muscle mass and experienced a decrease in metabolism. Bottom Line: Lifting weights is important for building and retaining muscle. Higher amounts of muscle will result in a higher metabolism. 5. Stand up More Sitting too much is bad for your health. Some health commentators have even dubbed it “the new smoking.” This is partly because long periods of sitting burn fewer calories and can lead to weight gain. […]
[…]are still treated with antibiotics. McDonald’s recently announced it would no longer use human antibiotics in its livestock, but as food blog Eater pointed out, the fast-food giant conveniently ignored that it would continue to use other antibiotics specific to animals, which still pose health risks. An undercover investigation last year by Mercy for Animals found that at a farm that contracts for Tyson Foods — which supplies chickens to McDonalds — “the birds were bred to grow so quickly that they became crippled by their own weight and often died from organ failure. The group also claims that the […]
[…]a means of raising healthy chickens. Why are so many farmers looking for alternative solutions to antibiotics? For starters, antibiotics should not even be a necessity on an animal farm if the farmers do a good, clean job. The issue arises when animals are living in filthy conditions prone to infections and viruses and is also caused as a result of poor slaughterhouse cleaning. Farmers like Scott Sechler realize this and take care to ensure that their slaughterhouses are hosed down and thoroughly disinfected after each set of chickens are slaughtered. The oregano oil that he uses to keep his […]
[…]resistant to antibiotics – even becoming stronger after being challenged with them – drug resistance and multi-drug resistance to chemoagents is the canary in the coal mine, indicating the entire paradigm, hinged as it is on patented, highly toxic chemicals, is rearing to collapse. Radiation Therapy Known To Cause Cancer & Enhance Malignancy Similarly, radiotherapy is known to induce secondary cancers, along with a wide range of serious adverse effects. A woman whose breast is irradiated is more likely to developlung cancer, for instance. But its effects may actually be far worse on the primary cancer it is being used […]
[…]diet high in added sugars is strongly associated with weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance, abnormal cholesterol and fatty liver disease in children and all of these increase future cardiovascular risk,” said Dr. Miriam Vos, an associate professor of pediatrics at Emory University and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta and lead author of the paper. I hope that this statement helps parents and organizations that help care for children by providing an achievable goal,” she said. “How much sugar is OK for kids has been a confusing issue for parents, and this statement provides a target that parents can understand, and that […]
[…]cause for concern. Scientists have warned us time and time again of the dangers of the overuse of antibiotics – how this practice leads to the creation of antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and has an extremely detrimental effect on our vital gut flora.” Something is a foot. And we can no longer ignore what this herbicide is doing to us or our environment. Update: Cleary says it was devastating for her family and talks about the incident here. NO reason was EVER given for them forcing her out. Source: Become a Wellness […]

[…]from the Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, researchers found that honey was not only antibiotic, but antiviral and antibiotic. They found some studies were honey’s antibiotic effect was similar to or better than antibiotics. Could this really be true? Researchers from Ethiopa’s College of Medicine at the University of Gondar found that honey, and a combination of honey and ginger powder, will inhibit the growth of superbugs such as MRSA (antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. They tested these against the pharmaceutical antibiotics methicillin, amoxicillin and penicillin – three of the most successful antibiotics used in conventional medicine. […]
