"Dandelions are also a remarkable source of natural potassium, and offer all the advantages of a balanced diuretic in a natural form. It's known as a hepatic herb-an herb, usually bitter, which works particularly well on the liver by toning, nourishing and strengthening it (the liver is the primary blood-cleansing organ of the body). Where to buy it: Many forward-thinking grocery stores carry dandelion leaves in the fresh produce section. You can also purchase dandelion leaves in a capsule form at health food stores, and it's often an ingredient in Superfood drinks." - Jan Lovejoy, Get Balanced-the Natural Way to Better Health with Superfoods (Get the book.) "Nutrients for Moods and Stress Protein Consuming protein three times a day can help with depression or anxiety and ensure your blood sugar level is balanced. Protein contains the necessary amino acids to create serotonin and endorphins-ourmood regulating neurotransmitters. B Vitamin B vitamins are necessary for producing SAMe, a component of serotonin, melatonin and dopamine (mood stabilizing neurotransmitters in the brain) production." - Jan Lovejoy, Get Balanced-the Natural Way to Better Health with Superfoods (Get the book.) "They're a well balanced nutrient-rich source of the minerals magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, iron and copper and, you guessed it-they contribute to calming nerves while lifting your spirits. Snacking on a handful of roasted pumpkin seeds may be the perfect prescription for calming nerves. Where to buy them: Grocery store or specialty markets-either salted, unsalted raw or roasted. If you have a Trader Joe's Market near you, they offer a good selection of packaged pepitas (pumpkin seeds) to choose from. How much to eat: % cup daily is a great addition to other healthy nuts and seeds." - Jan Lovejoy, Get Balanced-the Natural Way to Better Health with Superfoods (Get the book.) "Certain minerals and vitamins have a direct influence on the functioning of blood vessels, cell regeneration, waste removal and in balancing the delicate collagen matrix that keeps skin, hair and nails in peak health. A balanced diet is essential because our skin, hair and nails are the last parts of the body to get nutrients from our food. Nutrients first go to the heart, brain, lungs and other vital organs. Whatever is leftover goes to the skin, hair and nails." - Jan Lovejoy, Get Balanced-the Natural Way to Better Health with Superfoods (Get the book.)

"Imbalanced Intestinal Flora The intestinal flora is comprised of delicately balanced healthy and non-healthy bacteria. It is said that 60% of our immune system comes from our intestinal tract. This is our gut associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). If our natural flora is compromised our GALT may not be as effective at maintaining proper health. There are immune system cells throughout the gut that influence the body's capability to fight off invaders. It is important to note that the gastrointestinal tract is in contact with the outside world." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"This would ideally supply balanced amounts of key minerals, replacing those minerals that might become displaced or imbalanced from heavy metal toxicity and through the chelation process itself. Two evening-formula capsules would be taken before dinner or at bedtime with water. Because the chelation process needs to be slow, I would suggest you do this type of detox program for a minimum of a month and up to three months if high toxicity is suspected." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"The rest of the book will show you how to optimize your dominant nature, reverse any deficiencies you might have, and keep the four neurotransmitters balanced for daily, lasting health. Your dominant nature determines how you should be treated for any condition and how you can maintain your best health. By identifying this biochemical, you will be able to foresee possible medical conditions and take steps to prevent them. What's more, you will be able to boost your memory. Finally, you will better understand what drives your personality, and learn ways to modify its less-than-ideal aspects." - Eric R. Braverman, The Edge Effect: Achieve Total Health and Longevity with the balanced Brain Advantage (Get the book.) "This is like driving your car when you know that one tire is not properly balanced. The tire's tread will wear unevenly, and the slight effect that this has on the car's ride might not be noticeable at first. But uneven tread on one tire will lead to uneven tread wear on the other tires, with a subsequent effect on alignment. The car will then be harder to steer, and the brakes will wear out faster. Ignored, what would normally be just a simple matter of adjusting the wheel balance can lead to major expenses for new tires, brakes, shocks, and steering alignment. The same is true for you." - Eric R. Braverman, The Edge Effect: Achieve Total Health and Longevity with the balanced Brain Advantage (Get the book.) "Living at your peak—when every day is a good day at work, when enjoyment comes easily, and when you feel strong and healthy—can be directly traced to a balanced brain. This occurs when all four of your primary biochemicals (dopamine, acetylcholine, GABA, and serotonin) are transmitting properly and in the right proportions, your four electrical functions are working at optimal levels, the power supply is strong, brain speed is fast, rhythm is constant, and your brain is in sync. At this point, you are experiencing the Edge Effect." - Eric R. Braverman, The Edge Effect: Achieve Total Health and Longevity with the balanced Brain Advantage (Get the book.) "When your acetylcholine levels are balanced, you are creative and feel good about yourself. When acetylcholine is out of balance, negative effects can include language disorders and memory loss. Cognitive problems can run the gamut from childhood learning disabilities to Alzheimer's disease. Temporal Lobes Located just above the ears, the temporal lobes house the functions of memory and language. The neurons in these lobes produce the biochemical GABA and theta brain waves." - Eric R. Braverman, The Edge Effect: Achieve Total Health and Longevity with the balanced Brain Advantage (Get the book.)

"Habit # 10: Choose a balanced Diet I make sure I eat a healthy, balanced diet that keeps me feeling good both physically and mentally. If you're like most of my patients struggling with weight loss, you could only honestly say that you practice two or three of these habits. The reason that you don't practice the other simple habits is because of emotional eating. Think about how much you want to lose weight, or how much you want to stop food from being the centerpiece of your life." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"Ensure is a product that says right on its label that it's "Number One Doctor Recommended" and claims to offer "complete, balanced nutrition." Yet, the first three ingredients of Ensure are water, sugar and corn syrup. Two out of those three are, of course, simple sugars that are anything but complete, balanced nutrition. In fact, many doctors would argue that consuming sugar and corn syrup leads to nutritional deficiencies, or imbalanced nutrition. So, Ensure is another product that uses misdirection to distract consumers from its true nature. Extra sugar, with calcium, too!" - Mike Adams, Spam Filters for Your Brain (Get the book.)

"Rather than presenting a balanced interpretation of the scientific findings, the report seems intent upon building the case for greater use of statins, preferentially presenting data that support greater statin use and even misrepresenting findings reported in the original articles. And rather than promoting a balanced approach to coronary heart disease prevention and overall health promotion, the guidelines seem more intent upon getting doctors to focus on lowering LDL cholesterol." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Good health requires a balanced ANS. If the ANS is not properly balanced, you can experience diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, and fatigue. Moreover, changes in ANS balance can produce POTS as well as a sudden decrease in blood pressure when you are standing. The Autonomic Nervous System One major factor in producing autonomic imbalance is stress. We don't know all the ways that stress alters the autonomic nervous system, but we do know that one mechanism is by changing the way you breathe." - Benjamin H. Natelson, M.D., Your Symptoms Are Real: What to Do When Your Doctor Says Nothing Is Wrong (Get the book.)

"Imbalanced Intestinal Flora The intestinal flora is comprised of delicately balanced healthy and non-healthy bacteria. It is said that 60% of our immune system comes from our intestinal tract.

"This can easily become a disability if not balanced with other traits. Typical problems are ADHD, mania, and unspoken resentment— any of which may explode in a violent surge of adrenaline if cornered. An imbalanced and de-energized Cortisol personality type may also display classic passive-aggressive traits. There are considerable advantages to this personality type, especially when properly balanced with other life skills. The creative spark that powers our country is driven by Cortisol." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.)

"By glancing over your notes, you can determine whether your child really is getting a balanced, healthy diet rich in fruits, veggies, whole grains, nuts, and seeds. You'll be surprised by how this journal helps to keep your child on the right track. In the years to come, when your kids get old enough, they can help you take notes—by writing down what they ate at school, how they felt about their days, and that sort of thing. In fact, even before they've learned to write, kids can talk to you about their daily experiences." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Maintain a balanced diet, avoiding as much as possible, food that produces a metabolic rate increase, like simple carbohydrates with a high glycemic index (that is, pure sugar, sweets). 2. Avoid stimulants like tea and coffee as much as you can. 3. Limit the quantity of alcoholic beverages. 4. Help your body and mind remain free from stress overloading; practice simple relaxation techniques and mental clearing." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"These pressure levels, both systolic and diastolic, need to be balanced: high enough for optimum circulation, but not so high that excess wear and tear of the cardiovascular system occurs. Although the ability of coenzyme Q10 to decrease blood pressure in experimental animal models was observed as early as 1972, it was not until 1977 that Yamagami et al. documented that actual coenzyme Qio deficiencies in hypertensive patients exist, and that coenzyme Q10 administration of 1-2 mg/kg/day resulted in lower blood pressure." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.) "In normal hearts with plenty of blood flow and oxygen, the amount of ATP, ADP, and AMP in the cell is kept in a carefully balanced ratio, and the energy charge is about 1. Normally, cells have about ten times more ATP than ADP, and about 100 times more ATP than AMP. A sick heart, however, will have a much lower energy charge because the concentration of ATP and all other energy substrates will be depressed (see Table 3.1) and the ratio of ATP, ADP, and AMP will be out of balance. This is an important point that will be discussed in more detail later. TABLE 3.1." - Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D., The Sinatra Solution Metabolic Cardiology (Get the book.)

"All of these aspects need to be mindfully included and balanced for long-term success. Consciousness in preparation and eating remain a vital part of the cuisine. This is especially important in the Four Means to Get Your Greens approach, where there is an easy tendency to slip into an unhealthy fast-food lifestyle. To get the fullest value out of eating, I urge you to maintain an intentional heart and mind of love, gratitude, and consciousness during the preparation and eating of your food." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "I call this balanced, fast-food approach Four Means to Get Your Greens. Here are the four basic means to get your greens: One: Eat your greens Two: Make blended green soups Three: Make blended green smoothies with chia seeds or low-glycemic fruits, if your blood sugar is stable for six months Four: Juice your greens into green vegetable juice (GVJ) Food in any of these forms travels easily in a Tupperware or drinking container, can be taken on the go just about anywhere, and all Four Means can be prepared in advance at home, ready for you at every point in your day." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"By day, in public, she eats perfectly balanced low-calorie meals. But at one in the morning, Angie wakes up and starts bingeing. Angie's emotional eating habit affects her moods, her health, even her career. When she has her bingeing under control, she's trim, happy, and successful. But when her midnight binges get the better of her, she becomes fat, miserable, embarrassed, and uncomfortable with her patients." - Roger Gould, Shrink Yourself: Break Free from Emotional Eating Forever (Get the book.)

"They have a balanced complement of protein (60 percent), carbohydrate (19 percent), fat (6 percent), bio-available minerals (8 percent), and moisture (7 percent). Chlorella gets its name from the high amount of chlorophyll in it, up to ten times that of spirulina, which is itself very high in chlorophyll. Another hallmark of this superfood is chlorella growth factor (CGF), 3 percent of the chlorella cell that is responsible for its ability to quadruple in quantity every twenty hours. CGF stimulates tissue repair, even if it has been ulcerated, as we see in advanced cases of diabetes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Eating a healthy, balanced diet is the most effective way to ensure that our bodies receive the nutrients we need. Unfortunately, the typical American diet does not meet many of the requirements for good health, and we are paying the price physically as well as mentally. Part of the problem relates to the types and proportions of foods people eat. Just as important is how the foods are grown and processed as they make their way to our grocery shelves and kitchen tables." - Gary Null and Amy McDonald, The Food-Mood Connection: Nutrition-based and Environmental Approaches to Mental Health and Physical Wellbeing (Get the book.)

"A healthy, balanced lifestyle is the key to ensuring that our kids feel good about themselves and their bodies. I wasn't raised a vegetarian, hut my mother never, ever let me or my brother touch fast food—she lectured us nonstop about how awful and unhealthy it was and made sure that none of our friends' parents gave it to us. When I turned sixteen, I felt like the last kid in America who had never once gone inside a McDonald's or Burger King. So what was the very first thing I did when I got my driver's license?" - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"Theoretically, when people live in less clean, less hygienic environments, they are more likely to develop more balanced immunity, with more resistance and tolerance, and are less apt to overreact allergically to things like dust, mold, and animal hair. Childhood vaccinations may also be one element that contributes to allergy, in a way that is similar to the mechanisms of the hygiene hypothesis. The vaccinations that prevent childhood illnesses may actually be making children more vulnerable to allergic disorders, by changing the natural function of their immune systems." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "There are big differences in quality among the many brands of multiples, so look for one with relatively high, but balanced, levels of individual nutrients. You may wish to check the Resources section for information about supplements. My general recommendation: The dose of the liquid, powder, tablet, or capsule depends upon age, size, and other treatments and indications. TIER THREE SUPPLEMENTS The third tier of supplements consists of those that are intended for much more specialized, discrete needs." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "The excesses can also be ameliorated, or balanced, by using specific supplements. Among the deficiencies that I often find in autistic children are: COMMON NUTRIENT DEFICIENCIES AND DEPENDENCIES IN AUTISTIC CHILDREN Calcium. ? B-12. Selenium. 1 B-6. Zinc. * Lysine. Magnesium. ? Methionine. Iron. * Essential fatty acids. Cysteine. Vitamin D. Sulfate. Vitamin E. Taurine. ? Vitamin A. In addition, autistic kids tend to have excesses of copper and gluta-mate, both of which can be directly or indirectly neurotoxic." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)
