A rant on Rheumatoid Arthritis Guidelines

The 2010 ACR/EULAR Rheumatoid Arthritis guidelines need to be changed desperately. It does not reflect the accurate criteria needed for an RA diagnosis and there is so much misinformation on seronegative RA.

There is zero acknowledgment that there are 3 subtypes of RA, and the third requires damage to be taken seriously.

There is clear discrepancy and gaps in research to how RA positive and RA negative patients are treated. No care is taken to differentiate even in research, and the few that are receive such strong pushback and people are getting harmed for this. Granted the discovery is semi-recent, but we cannot wait another 23 years to change the criteria.

I am seronegative, it is absolutely disgusting that the current guidelines are so behind on research. I am angry for myself but other seronegative people and the difficulty we have getting medication. I understand that there isn’t necessarily a clear way to diagnose SNRP, but the guidelines need to reflect that before stage 2 takes place. There needs to at least be an acknowledgment or a name identifying the seronegative version of RA. Type 2 rheumatic disease if you will. I will be a fucking Guinea pig if needed.

Chronic inflammatory poly-arthritis is not a diagnosis, it is a differentiating diagnosis. That is a roadblock, it’s a diagnosis but it’s a fucking roadblock and dismissal. We know TNF blockers are the best for SNRP. Why is sulfasalazine given?That is months to work up to effective medicine and doubt in treatment. A disease presentation will change, but waiting for damage is insane behaviour that is unacceptable if the patient is seropositive and they have the same intensity. It doesn’t matter if seronegative is real or not. It is. That’s not a debate. Exclusion stops research, that’s why the term seronegative exists.

Names matter. Criteria matters.

Why wasn’t my asthma given weight in the criteria? My tendonitis? My neuropathy? My allergies increasing?The pelvic pain I felt? Nerve pain? Muscle weakness? Brain fog?

Nothing at all until I swelled at the right time like a show pony and it wouldn’t stop. That’s pain from September- April to get a functioning diagnosis. Only an access until February to a Rhum, no encouraging from regular doctors to check inflammation markers. I started swelling in December.

I am lucky that an allergy test triggered my RA to progress to inflammation as a presentation and that’s crazy that even that didn’t help me. It is absolutely inhumane.

I am not eligible for NSAIDs or prednisone/steroids but the treatment options I did get were so mild, I am angry. I didn’t get methotrexate, and SNRA diagnosis kept being told to me that it was rare. I could have had the full function of my hands and the time I spent researching, plus my methods of coping be available if I was given priority access to more effective medication as my seropositive counterparts are given. How many more people need to live like that?

Hours of cooking, studying, painting, drawing, seeing friends, living my life all for something that a doctor is told it’s rare, but it’s not.

A bat is a mammal and so is a platypus. A doctor shouldn’t be afraid to call it that because we think mammals can’t fly, have webbed feet and lay eggs. The guidelines have tunnel vision, it hurts research and patients. Rare diseases are only rare because the funding into it is so bad. Think of the lupus guidelines updating, and the rise in psychiatric lupus presentations becoming the norm. The increase in celiac diagnosis. It’s important that this change needs to happen yesterday.

Polar bears have webbed feet. Flying squirrels have wings. It doesn’t mean a mammal is a bird.

It doesn’t mean if you hear hoofs think of horses not zebra’s. As research shows, it means that maybe we don’t actually know what a fucking horse is and you should take the hint that it’s time to redefine it as the research so clearly calls for.

White, brown or red? A guide to choosing the healthiest rice for your meals

Rice is a staple food for millions of people around the world, providing a versatile and comforting base for countless dishes. With so many varieties available, choosing the healthiest rice for your meals can be overwhelming. Whether you're looking for a quick side dish, a hearty main course, or a gluten-free option, understanding the nutritional benefits and culinary uses of white, brown and red rice can help you make the best choice for your diet and lifestyle.

In this guide you'll explore the unique properties of each rice type, providing valuable information about their health benefits, nutritional profiles and ideal cooking methods. In the end, you'll be armed with the knowledge to choose the right rice for your meals, enhancing both your health and culinary experience.

Nutritional Comparison: White, Brown and Red Rice

When it comes to nutritional content, not all rice is the same. Each variety offers different benefits that meet different dietary needs and preferences.

White rice: Often considered the most popular, white rice is milled and polished, removing the bran and germ. This process results in a softer texture and longer shelf life but also reduces its nutritional content. White rice is typically enriched with iron and B vitamins, making it a robust choice. However, it has a higher glycemic index (GI) than other varieties, which can more significantly impact blood sugar levels.

Brown rice: A whole grain, brown rice retains its bran and germ, preserving essential nutrients such as fiber, magnesium, and phosphorus. Its high fiber content aids digestion and may contribute to heart health by lowering cholesterol levels. Brown rice has a lower GI than white rice, making it a more suitable choice for those managing blood sugar levels.

Red rice: Known for its distinctive color and nutty flavor, red rice is rich in anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that give it its red color. These antioxidants are believed to reduce inflammation and support heart health. Red rice is also rich in fiber, iron, and other essential nutrients, making it a nutrient-rich option for any meal.

Health Benefits and Considerations

Benefits of white rice: Although often overshadowed by its nutrient-rich counterparts, white rice remains a good choice for those with digestive sensitivities. Its mild flavor and soft texture make it easily digestible, and it is often packed with essential nutrients. Additionally, white rice is a quick-cooking grain, ideal for busy weeknights.

Benefits of brown rice: The fiber in brown rice can aid digestion and promote a feeling of fullness, which can be beneficial for weight management. Its low GI also makes it a better choice for individuals with diabetes or those looking to stabilize blood sugar levels. The nutrient profile of brown rice supports heart health and provides sustained energy.

Benefits of Red Rice: The high antioxidant content in red rice provides unique health benefits, including anti-inflammatory properties and potential protection against chronic diseases. Its robust flavor pairs well with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile addition to your pantry. The iron content in red rice may also be a valuable nutrient for those at risk for anemia.

Choosing the Right Rice for Your Dietary Needs

Choosing the right rice depends on your dietary preferences and health goals. For those following a gluten-free diet, all three types of rice are safe choices. If you are focused on weight management or blood sugar control, brown or red rice may be more suitable due to its low GI and high fiber content. For athletes or individuals who need an instant energy boost, white rice may be a practical option.

Also consider the type of food you're preparing. The neutral flavor of white rice pairs well with a wide range of dishes, from stir-fries to desserts. The chewy texture and nutty taste of brown rice is perfect for grain bowls and salads, while the rich flavor of red rice can enhance soups, stews, and hearty main dishes.

You can also order large quantities of healthy Basmati rice from Vi Exports India.

Various Facts And Health Benefits Of Kei Apple

Kei apple has become a household name in Japan since the late 1970s. It’s also known as kiwi apple or Japanese Kiwifruit (Kiwiana). This fruit was initially called Japanese Kiwi due to its similarity to the kiwis found in New Zealand. These days, however, it is commonly used interchangeably.

Today, Kei apples are grown in several countries around the globe, from Spain (where they are also called Pimpinela) to Chile. The United States produces about 75% of the total global production.

“Kei Apples” is used in cooking in various ways. For example, they can be eaten fresh or added to juices and smoothies. They can also be fermented into alcohol. Another way to enjoy them is to add their flavor to ice cream. Some food producers even freeze them and serve them as dessert bars.

Regarding nutrition, Kei apples have less sugar than regular apples but more vitamin C than regular oranges. They are also exceptionally rich in fiber. That means that these fruits will not cause you to gain weight quickly. Kei apples contain higher levels of antioxidants than any other fruit on earth. They may help prevent cancerous cells from growing and even protect your skin against sunburn.

There are two types of Kei apples: Red-skinned and Green-skinned. Both styles come in different shapes and sizes, depending on where they were grown. Generally speaking, green-skinned varieties tend to be smaller, while red-skinned ones tend to be larger.

Health Benefits Of Kei Apple (Dovyalis caffra)

Are you looking out for ways to plant Kei Apple? Then Hire a gardener for a day because Plant Judo will help you with seeds and planting methods.

1. Antioxidant-Rich: A recent study revealed that critical apples contain antioxidants such as polyphenol compounds that fight our body’s free radicals. Free radicals are highly reactive oxygen molecules that destroy healthy tissue. This makes critical apples perfect for preventing diseases like cancer and heart disease.

2. Anti-Inflammatory: Due to their high anti-inflammatory properties, kei apples are suitable for people suffering from inflammation-related disorders. It helps reduce swelling and pain caused by arthritis, sore muscles, wounds, and injuries.

3. Anti-Cancer: The presence of lycopene and beta-carotene helps fight off harmful substances that cause cancer. Lycopene is an organic compound in many plants, including tomatoes, watermelons, guavas, and papayas. Beta carotene is a fat-soluble plant pigment found mainly in carrots. Both chemicals help slow cell division so that cells cannot mutate into abnormal forms.

4. Good source of Vitamin C: Like all citrus fruits, Kei apples are loaded with vitamin C. However, apples provide most of their vitamin C content during ripening, unlike other fruit. During storage, vitamin C begins to degrade and become oxidized. So, it’s important to consume fresh apples whenever possible.

5. Nutrient Rich: Like all other fruits, the nutrients found in Kei apples are vital for human health. Among the vitamins, minerals, and essential amino acids, there are several notable ones.

For example, potassium aids normal muscle contraction and relaxation. Magnesium is known to prevent bone loss following menopause. And iron helps us produce blood. I do not forget that fiber plays an integral role in digestion and absorption.

6. Blood Pressure Lowering: Another benefit of consuming Kei apples is their ability to lower blood pressure. High blood pressure has been linked to chronic ailments like coronary artery disease, stroke, and kidney failure.

7. Diuretic: Consuming apples can also aid in reducing fluid retention in your body. Because they contain citric acid, these products stimulate your kidneys to excrete excess fluids out of your body. To reap maximum benefits, make sure you drink plenty of water on top of eating Kei apples regularly.

8. Digestive Aid: Apples contain pectin, a natural substance that acts as a digestive aid. Pectin promotes peristalsis, the movement of food through the intestines. When combined with fiber, it helps pass stool quickly and easily.

9. Treats constipation: You may cause constipation due to a low magnesium intake level. One way to remedy this is to eat Kei apples since they have more than double the amount of magnesium compared to regular apples.

Ghee is a good source of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, and K, and also contains conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), a type of fatty acid that can aid in weight loss and improve insulin sensitivity.

For those looking for a neutral-tasting oil with health benefits, sunflower oil is a great choice for Indian cooking. Sunflower oil is high in vitamin E, an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage. It also contains linoleic acid, an essential fatty acid that supports skin health and brain function. Sunflower oil has a mild flavor and a high smoke point, making it versatile for both cooking and baking.

Pure and Organic: Why Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee is Best for Ayurvedic Cooking

In the realm of healthy cooking and traditional Indian cuisine, few ingredients stand out as much as ghee. Among the many varieties available, Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee emerges as a beacon of quality and purity. With its rich history rooted in Ayurvedic practices, this ghee is not just a cooking fat; it’s a treasure trove of health benefits that enhances both culinary experiences and overall well-being. In this article, we will explore the unique qualities of Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee, emphasizing why it is the best choice for Ayurvedic cooking.

The Essence of A2 Gir Cow Ghee

More than 300 free-grazing A2 Gir cows' milk is used to make Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee. These cows are nurtured in a natural environment, allowing them to feed on a diet rich in indigenous grasses and herbs, which contributes to the superior quality of the ghee. The cows are also fed potent herbs such as Shatavari, Jivanti, and Ashwagandha, which not only enhance the nutritional value of the milk but also infuse the ghee with unparalleled health benefits.

The traditional Bilona method is employed in the preparation of this ghee. This time-honored technique involves churning curd made from A2 milk in earthen pots, resulting in a product that retains all its nutritional properties. The use of the Bilona method ensures that the ghee is rich in flavor and aroma, making it a perfect ingredient for a variety of dishes.

Health Benefits of A2 Gir Cow Ghee

Rich in Nutrients

Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee is loaded with essential nutrients, including vitamins A, D, E, and K. These fat-soluble vitamins are crucial for maintaining a healthy immune system, promoting good vision, and supporting skin health. Additionally, ghee is an excellent source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), which has been shown to have various health benefits, including weight management and improved metabolic health.

Digestive Health

One of the standout features of A2 Bilona Ghee is its positive impact on digestive health. Ghee is known to stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, which aids in the digestion of food. The butyric acid present in ghee is particularly beneficial for gut health, promoting the growth of healthy gut bacteria and reducing inflammation in the digestive tract. This makes Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee an ideal choice for those seeking to improve their digestive wellness.

Enhancing Flavor and Cooking

In Ayurvedic cooking, the quality of ingredients plays a crucial role in the overall taste and effectiveness of the dishes. Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee has a unique flavor profile that enhances the taste of any dish it is added to. Whether you are sautéing vegetables, preparing dals, or making traditional sweets, the rich, nutty flavor of this ghee elevates the culinary experience. Unlike regular ghee, Gavyamart’s product has a dynamic aroma and a golden hue that can vary with each batch, reflecting the natural ingredients and care that go into its production.

Boosting Immunity

Incorporating Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee into your daily diet can help boost your immune system. Its high antioxidant content helps combat oxidative stress, while the presence of healthy fats supports the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. The natural anti-inflammatory properties of ghee can also contribute to overall health and wellness, making it a valuable addition to any diet.

A Commitment to Quality

What sets Gavyamart apart is its unwavering commitment to quality and purity. Each batch of A2 Gir Cow Ghee is meticulously prepared under the supervision of skilled artisans, ensuring that the traditional methods are adhered to without compromise. The use of earthen pots for churning not only adds a distinct flavor but also preserves the nutritional value of the ghee.

Moreover, the cows at Gavyamart are treated with utmost care and respect. They are allowed to roam freely, grazing on natural pastures, which directly influences the quality of the milk and, subsequently, the ghee. This ethical approach to dairy farming is essential for producing high-quality bilona ghee that you can trust.

The Best A2 Gir Cow Ghee for Your Kitchen

When it comes to selecting the best ghee for Ayurvedic cooking, Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee stands out as a leader in the market. Its unique combination of taste, nutritional benefits, and ethical sourcing makes it an ideal choice for health-conscious individuals and families. With its versatility in cooking and myriad health benefits, this ghee is not just a cooking ingredient but a holistic approach to well-being.

Conclusion

In conclusion, Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee is more than just a cooking fat; it’s a blend of tradition, purity, and health benefits. Whether you are preparing a simple meal or a festive feast, this ghee will enhance your dishes while contributing to your overall health. Embrace the pure and organic goodness of Gavyamart A2 Gir Cow Ghee, and take a step towards a healthier lifestyle with every spoonful.

The Health Benefits of Cooking with Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil

Mustard oil, a staple in Indian cuisine, is renowned for its distinct flavour and potential health benefits. While refined mustard oil is commonly used, cold-pressed mustard oil offers a more natural and nutrient-rich alternative. At Halder Venture Limited, a leading name in India's edible oil manufacturing industry, we offer a wide range of high-quality oils, including cold-pressed mustard oil. Our commitment to quality and sustainability ensures that you can enjoy the health benefits of cold-pressed mustard oil in every meal. As one of the trusted oil producers in India, we believe in offering the best cooking oil for health to our consumers.

This blog explores the health advantages of cooking with cold-pressed mustard oil. Before we dive into those advantages, let's clarify what cold-pressed oil is and how it differs from refined mustard oil.

What is Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil?

Cold-pressed mustard oil is extracted without the application of heat or chemicals, which helps retain all the nutrients and flavour of the mustard seeds. In this process, the seeds are ground at room temperature and then slowly pressed to release their natural oils. This results in a strong, pungent taste, making cold-pressed mustard oil a popular choice in Indian cuisine. Additionally, it is recognized for its numerous health benefits.

Nutritional Composition

Cold-pressed mustard oil is packed with essential nutrients that can contribute to overall well-being. It contains:

Monounsaturated fats: Lower bad cholesterol and improve heart health.

Omega-3 fatty acids: Essential for brain and heart health, reducing inflammation.

Antioxidants: Protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.

Phytosterols: Plant-based compounds that help lower cholesterol levels.

Health Benefits of Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil

Heart Health: The monounsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids in cold-pressed mustard oil can help regulate cholesterol levels, reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke.

Digestive Health: Mustard oil contains natural antibacterial properties that can support a healthy digestive system. It may aid in digestion and prevent digestive issues.

Anti-inflammatory Properties: The antioxidants and omega-3 fatty acids in cold-pressed mustard oil have anti-inflammatory effects, which can help reduce inflammation throughout the body.

Skin Health: Topical application of mustard oil can help nourish the skin, reduce dryness, and improve its elasticity.

Hair Health: Massaging the scalp with cold-pressed mustard oil can stimulate hair growth and improve hair health.

Difference between Cold-Pressed Mustard Oil and Refined Mustard Oil

Cold-pressed mustard oil is produced using traditional extraction methods prioritising quality and nutrition. The process involves crushing mustard seeds with a stone or wooden press, gently releasing the oil without applying heat. This method preserves the natural nutrients, essential fatty acids, and robust flavour of the mustard seeds, resulting in a rich, pungent oil that adds depth to various dishes.

In contrast, refined mustard oil undergoes a more industrial extraction process with chemical solvents to extract the oil from the seeds, followed by refining to eliminate impurities and enhance shelf life. The refining process typically results in a milder flavour compared to cold-pressed mustard oil and raises the smoke point, making it suitable for high-heat cooking methods.

Conclusion

Choosing the type of healthy oil ultimately depends on your cooking needs and flavour preferences. Cold-pressed mustard oil offers a robust flavour and numerous health benefits, making it ideal for traditional recipes. On the other hand, refined mustard oil provides versatility for high-heat cooking. Understanding these differences can help you select the best cooking oil for your health.

A2 Ghee vs. Regular Ghee: Key Differences You Need to Know

Ghee, or clarified butter, is not only a culinary staple but also a cornerstone in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. With the rising popularity of A2 ghee, many are curious about its unique benefits compared to regular ghee. Let’s explore what sets A2 ghee apart, why it’s gaining popularity as a health-boosting choice, and tips for identifying genuine A2 ghee in the market.

Understanding A2 and A1 Milk Proteins

The primary distinction between regular and A2 ghee lies in the type of milk used. Regular ghee is typically made from milk containing both A1 and A2 beta-casein proteins, while A2 ghee is derived exclusively from A2 milk, primarily produced by indigenous cow breeds like the Indian Gir, Sahiwal, and Red Sindhi. Research suggests that A1 protein may release a peptide, BCM-7, during digestion, which can trigger digestive discomfort for some. A2 protein, however, does not produce BCM-7, making A2 ghee potentially easier to digest and ideal for those with mild lactose intolerance or sensitive stomachs.

Health Benefits of A2 Ghee

A2 ghee offers several health advantages over regular ghee, including:

Digestibility: Lacking the A1 protein, A2 ghee is often easier on the digestive system, especially for people with sensitive digestion.

Nutrient-Rich: Both A2 and regular ghee are rich in fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. However, A2 ghee is especially valued for its Omega-3 fatty acids, which support heart health and reduce inflammation.

Immunity Booster: A2 ghee contains high levels of butyric acid, a short-chain fatty acid known to strengthen gut health and boost immune function.

Antioxidants: Made from grass-fed cow milk, A2 ghee is rich in antioxidants, helping to neutralize free radicals and protect against cellular damage.

Anti-Inflammatory Properties: A2 ghee may help reduce inflammation more effectively than regular ghee, especially for those sensitive to A1 protein.

The Importance of the Bilona Method

Traditional “Bilona” ghee-making involves curdling milk, churning it into butter, and then heating it slowly to produce ghee. This labor-intensive process is believed to:

Retain Nutrients: The Bilona method preserves essential nutrients like butyric acid and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid), enhancing the nutritional profile of A2 ghee.

Ensure Purity: Bilona-made ghee is typically free from additives and preservatives.

Enhance Flavor and Aroma: Slow cooking imparts a richer flavor, aroma, and texture, making A2 ghee a culinary favorite.

Identifying Quality A2 Ghee

With A2 ghee’s popularity on the rise, it’s essential to differentiate genuine A2 ghee from imitators. Here’s what to look for:

Source of Milk: Ensure it’s made from A2 cow breeds like Gir or Sahiwal, with transparent labeling on the packaging.

Production Process: Look for mentions of the Bilona method, as this traditional process is a marker of authenticity.

Certification: Check for organic or quality certifications that verify purity and compliance with quality standards.

Price and Appearance: A2 ghee is usually pricier due to its production process. Authentic A2 ghee should have a golden-yellow color, a rich aroma, and a smooth texture.

Conclusion: Is A2 Ghee Worth It?

While both regular and A2 ghee offer health benefits, A2 ghee’s digestibility, nutrient profile, and natural production process make it a worthwhile investment for health-conscious consumers. Though more expensive, the potential long-term benefits for digestion and immunity make A2 ghee a valuable addition to a healthy diet.
