Inflammation is a leading cause of pain. It can cause pain or other disfunction anywhere in the body. Common sites of inflammation are muscles, joints, respiratory system, arteries, digestive tract, or even widespread inflammation of body cells.

Everyone knows that inflammation of muscles and joints causes pain. People are only starting to realize that respiratory inflammation is associated with allergies and asthma and that inflammation of the arteries is associated with heart disease. Inflammation can be not only painful but also dangerous.

There are prescription pharmaceuticals for combating inflammation. But some of us prefer to try traditional remedies before resorting to drugs. And interestingly a group of naturally occurring rare antioxidants called betalains have been scientifically proven by medical research to fight inflammation.

Ancient traditional remedies used by native peoples often worked quite well. Some of them are still used in modern medicine, though some have been refined and updated to be even more effective. Some of them, though, work best in their wholistic original form. That is why so many people in our modern culture still use, and benefit from, traditional remedies.

For centuries, native peoples of the Americas have relied on the Nopal cactus (Opuntia Ficus Indica) fruit for relief from inflammation and the pain it causes and to promote overall health. Nopal cactus fruit juice contains the scientifically proven antioxidants, betalains.

But not all of us live where the Nopal cactus grows. The juice of the Nopal cactus fruit is now available as juice in a tasty well wellness drink called Nopalea. The drink is said to help your body neutralize its inner toxins, reduce inflammation and promote optimal health.

Nopalea is provided by a 12-year-old company whose mission is to help people pursue physical, emotional and spiritual health. It contains no preservatives.

Over 3 million bottles of Nopalea have been sold. You can try it for free (if you pay $9.95 for shipping) by calling 1-800-203-7063.

Believe it or not, spring is coming. In some parts of the world, I know that’s hard to believe right now, but it’s true. The sun will return, you will want to be outdoors, and you will want to see well.

Even now, you may be planning a winter vacation. You’ll want to see everything. If you wear eyeglasses—or need them but do not yet have them—now is the time to be making plans to take care of your vision. Get some glasses so you can see the sights.

Thinking about hitting the beach? You need prescription sunglasses with antireflective (AR) coating. You will see better without so much glare, and people will see you better in photographs. (You want your eyes to show up, not blank spots of glare reflected off your lenses.)

AR coating is also a safety factor for driving, especially in snowy conditions. Being able to see better could help you avoid accidents. And you know how not seeing well tends to make you nervous, even grumpy, while driving.

Whether indoors or outdoors, you need the new oleophobic coating. It resists fingerprints and makes glasses easier to clean. The lenses also stay clean longer. Who wants to have to keep stopping and cleaning your glasses? Nobody.

Are you thinking all this might be too expensive? Nope. You can order glasses on line from Zenni Optical for a fraction of the cost of glasses at those costly mall stores. They sell directly to you, with no stores and no middlemen. You get a huge selection of stylish frames, super cheap prices, top quality, and free shipping on orders over $50.

Now there is no excuse for neglecting your health and safety by going without new glasses and prescription sunglasses. And there is no need to skimp on the important extras like the newest high-tech coatings to cut glare and keep your glasses cleaner.

It just makes sense to make sure you can see as well as possible.
