How is toilet bowl destroying your health
For thousands of years all humans met their basic physiological need - bowel movements - in the natural way, in a crouched position.
They barely knew of most of today's intestinal diseases such as hemorrhoids, constipation, colon cancer and Crohn's disease.
And then the modern technology began to creep into all areas of life at a rapid pace, including the bathrooms.
Modern seating toilet bowls were produced, and with them came many health problems.
In today's era of modern and luxurious habits, squatting during a bowel movement is spoken of as an old-fashioned and uncomfortable position.
This is unfortunate, because according to the latest research, the sitting position while defecating is responsible for many diseases today.
Astonishing benefits of lettuce
Lettuce (Latin name Lactuca sativa) has firmly taken its place at kitchen tables around the world since the ancient times.
Its origin has not been determined, but according to some findings, today's lettuce is a descendant of the wild species that grew in the area of Siberia.
Even the ancient Greeks and Romans recognized its valuable properties and regularly enriched their menus with this valuable vegetable.
Hippocrates, the Greek physician and father of medicine, attributed strong medicinal properties to lettuce.
In ancient Persia it was prized as a food that provided peace of mind.
In the past it was known as "wise men grass", which reflects its value and power.
The alternative treatment of gout
Gout, also known as gouty arthritis or crystal-induced arthritis, is one of the oldest known diseases.
In the 17th century, the spread of gout in the UK developed almost epidemic proportions.
This disease almost exclusively attacked the wealthy stratum of the society and the nobility, which gave it the name the disease of kings.
Gout is a good example of a disease related to improper diet and excessive alcohol consumption.
Sometimes gout is very painful, but today it is simply controlled by proper treatment and diet.
