Question 1

what are the health benefits of red sea salt?

Accepted Answer

Red sea salt: Many alternative health practitioners believe that Celtic sea salt, Himalayan sea salt and Hawaiian sea salt all contain natural trace minerals that help balance electrolytes.

Red salt from Kauai is infused with alaea, a type of Hawaiian clay. The clay tints the salt red because it contains iron oxide, which serves as an added nutrient..

Sea salt naturally contains magnesium and potassium,

Question 2

what are the health benefits of having red wine?

Accepted Answer

Has antioxidants: There is evidence that those who have about 1 drink of alcohol a day have better health than those who don't drink at all or who drink larger amounts, with lower risk of heart disease, cancer & alzheimer's. Red wine may be the healthiest choice because it contains proanthocyanidans, which are antioxidant flavonoids. See http://www.Huffingtonpost.Com/2011/10/19/red-wine-health_n_1018934.Html.

Question 3

what are the health benefits of drinking red wine occasionally?

Accepted Answer

None: Alcohol is a poison and never did anybody any good, ever.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 4

how much red wine should i drink each day to get the health benefits?

Accepted Answer

Well.............: Health benefits of alcohol intake include wine, beer and liquor (not including what you mix it in).  Red wine is not significantly better.  Studies show that people who drink 1-2 standard size beverages a day have better cardiovascular outcomes than those who do not.  One standard beverage is 12 oz beer, 5 oz wine, or 1.5 oz liquor.  Any day with more than 2 is not as good, so more is not better.

Question 5

why would would it show alert on my blood pressure result of 123/63. this is part of testing for our health benefits. i know 120/80 is normal and the concern is with the bottom number. but why would they have a red alert by 123/63?

Accepted Answer

Your : Your blood pressure is completely normal, and i believe there is no reason for concern. Most medical authorities regard the range of normal blood pressure (BP) as 90/60 to 140/90, but I have seen many BP postings with different (and apparently arbitrary) "limits" for high and low. Today many experts believe BP regularly over 130/85 should already be regarded as needing attention. It's possible the screening you were involved sets the lower limit of normal at 65 (so you were slightly below it), but it's commonplace for healthy individuals to have the lower number (diastolic pressure) into the 50's and feel totally well.

Question 6

drink 8 ounces (1.5 glasses) of red wine daily for health benefits per medical studies. can the long-term effects of this cause fatty liver?

Accepted Answer

Perhaps: depends on individual and other factors. 8 ounces daily is somewhat "generous" re: health benefits of wine.

Question 7

can drinking carrot juice help cure redness in the eyes?

Accepted Answer

No effect: The nutrients in carrot juice will be digested in your GI tract, and dispersed in your blood stream.  They have no known effect on eye redness.  If the redness persists but the vision is OK then see an ophthalmologist soon to discover the cause.  If the vision is down, then seen the ophthalmologist immediately.

Question 8

reaction to skin product 6wks ago, redness, open pores, dehydration, >melasma.still ntermittently red/burning&dry. could this be phytophotodermatitis? oils included mandarin, carrot seed. scared its perm

Accepted Answer

CONTACT dermatitis : It can be severe due to exposure to plant allergens. Steroid cream and  oral steroids sometimes are necessary. Consult dermatologist if needed.

Question 9

8 day period with black blood, 2 days later red blood heavy with black clots sized like a tinned round cut carrot, is this normal?

Accepted Answer

Doesn't sound normal: If you re no longer bleeding/discharging, wait another month and see if this happens again.  Call your gyn for eval if it does or if you are still bleeding even now.  There could be a blockage of your menstrual flow or infection.

Question 10

i started 1 week drinking a juice 1 red beet,1 apple,2 carrots.juice i making every night and drinking morning.is ok to drink every day.hubby diabet?

Accepted Answer

Drinking: It is OK for you to do this if you do not have diabetes but it would be helpful for your husband if you focussed on drinks that would be good for him and would not be at all bad for you.
