Most of you know how integral fruits and vegetables are to your overall health. The compounds in fruits and vegetables work to enhance immune function, improve heart health, decrease inflammation, etc. As readily available as this information is, people choose to purchase and eat unhealthier food options in an attempt to save money. 

In reality, there are plenty of budget-friendly ways to boost your fruit and vegetable intake. Eating healthy foods does not have to break the bank. Rather than harming your health with convenient fast food that you think will save you money, you can do your body a favor and nourish it with higher-quality foods. Learn how to do that on a budget in this article. 

Shop At Your Local Market Or Farmer’s Market

Depending on your location, a farmer’s market may not be the most convenient place to shop. Additionally, it can be expensive if you live in a city San Francisco, New York City, or Los Angeles. Most local farmer’s markets, though, sell seasonal produce at more affordable prices than regular grocery stores. When you shop directly from the farmers, you skip the middleman, tending to result in lower prices. Lastly, you get access to the freshest in-season produce, which is usually more flavorful. 

Shop Seasonally

Speaking of in-season produce, buy the fruits and vegetables that are in season, which can translate to significantly lower costs. For example, purchase melons and berries in the summer, apples and parsnips in the fall, squash in the winter, and asparagus in the spring. Knowing which produce items are in season will help you save on your grocery bill. You can always research a growing calendar in your area, or consider asking your local grocery store staff to understand which produce items are in season. 

Don’t Be Afraid Of Frozen Fruits And Vegetables

Frozen fruits and vegetables are valuable, especially if you are trying to eat healthy on a budget. Not only can they be just as nutritious as fresh fruits and vegetables, but they can also be equally as nutritious. Since they are typically cut or prepared in a specific way, they are convenient and easy to handle. Plus, you can store them in your freezer until you need them. Just make sure that you avoid added ingredients when buying frozen fruits and vegetables. You should not see salt, sugar, or sauces on the ingredients list because those ingredients detract from the health benefits. They also indicate extra additives. Frozen peas, spinach, broccoli, mixed vegetables, berries, and other fruit are excellent options that are quite versatile. 

Plan Your Meals And Create A List

There is nothing worse for your budget than heading into a grocery store without a list. You just buy what you think you need, as opposed to stocking up on what you actually need, and what is actually healthy for you. By planning your meals ahead of time, you can make a shopping list that includes every ingredient you will need to make those meals. That reduces the likelihood of food waste and impulse buying. A list of necessary items will help you avoid the unnecessary things that will typically spoil in the fridge. 

Properly Store Your Fruits And Vegetables

If you store your produce properly, you can maximize the shelf life and minimize food waste. Some produce needs to be stored on the countertop, while other produce requires refrigeration. Herbs, for example, should be stored in a jar of water with stems in the fridge to encourage a longer shelf life. Don’t store apples near bananas because the gases they emit can quicken the ripening process of both fruits. Buying in bulk? Consider freezing excess produce to extend the shelf life, but make sure to use airtight bags or containers to prevent moisture buildup.

Men With Prostate Cancer Can Improve Sexual Function By Exercising Frequently https://www.dherbs.com/articles/men-with-prostate-cancer-can-improve-sexual-function-by-exercising-frequently/ Mon, 17 Mar 2025 09:00:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=175405

Most men experience sexual issues after prostate cancer treatment, but regular aerobic exercise may help improve sexual function.

The post Men With Prostate Cancer Can Improve Sexual Function By Exercising Frequently appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) refers to the inability to maintain an erection firm enough for sexual activity. That said, it is not uncommon to experience occasional difficulty in the bedroom. If it happens frequently and disrupts your sex life, your doctor may diagnose you with ED.

This article, while not entirely focused on ED as a health condition, recaps a new study involving men who were treated for prostate cancer. Could regular aerobic exercise and resistance training cause significant improvements in sexual function in men treated for prostate cancer? According to a recent study, this type of intervention for men with prostate cancer could help them avoid sexual dysfunction. 

Most Men Experience ED After Prostate Cancer Treatment

Health experts note that nearly all men will experience some level of ED for the first several months following prostate cancer treatment. Most men return to their pretreatment sexual function within a year, but a significant amount of men do not. ED is a common issue that affects prostate cancer patients, but it is not solely associated with these men. ED can result from relationship issues or mental health issues as well. The reason it is more common in prostate cancer patients is because they are not typically offered health interventions to improve sexual function

Study Participants Exercised Three Times Per Week For Six Months

The study participants included 112 men diagnosed with prostate cancer with a median age of 66. Participants were divided into randomized groups to receive one of three interventions:

  • Six months of supervised and self-directed resistance training and aerobic exercise.
  • Standard medical care
  • Six months of supervised and self-directed resistance training and aerobic exercise. This group also included a short, one-time educational session that covered coping strategies for challenges related to cancer treatment. The session also covered stress management tools and goal-setting tools to aid sexual rehabilitation.

In the two groups participating in resistance training and aerobic exercise, they worked out three times per week during the six-month period. Participants engaged in 20 to 30 minutes of cardiovascular training for the aerobic portion at moderate to vigorous intensity. They used rowing machines, cycling machines, treadmills, and similar equipment. During the resistance training portion, participants engaged in six to eight weightlifting exercises targeting upper and lower body muscle groups. Additionally, the participants were encouraged to exercise on their own in order to meet the suggested 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week. 

The Findings

Researchers observed that exercise was able to improve erectile function by 5.1 points on average. This measurement is from the International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF), which is used to measure sexual health, particularly erectile function. Experts note that function is scored on a scale of 1 to 30. The higher the score, the better the function. A four-point improvement is necessary to note clinical differences. 

Erectile function was more significant in for the subgroups who received additional androgen deprivation therapy and radiotherapy for their prostate cancer on top of engaging in exercise. These results were compared to those who underwent a prostatectomy, which is a surgical procedure that removes all or part of the prostate. 

The men who reported lower levels of sexual desire, sexual satisfaction, and overall satisfaction prior to the start of the study benefited more from exercise. By regularly engaging in exercise, the participants also experienced a reduction in weight gain. They also experienced improved muscle strength. Finally, the educational session informing participants of mental techniques did not make a difference for ED symptoms. 

Frequent Exercise Benefits Blood Flow

Consistent with existing research, this study confirmed the link between exercise and improved sexual function. This is more related to an overall link between cardiovascular health and sexual function. For example, earlier research found that yoga was able to improve ED in men with prostate cancer, and in older men without prostate cancer. Based on this research and other studies, health experts concur that men with ED benefit from improving cardiovascular fitness and overall circulation. Additionally, improving blood flow should translate to better erectile function.

If you are a man experiencing issues with the prostate or erectile dysfunction, Dherbs may be able to assist you on your health journey. For example: 

  • Prostate Formula contains a special formulation of herbs that contribute to the health of the male reproductive system, especially the prostate. It may help maintain healthy urine flow, while aiding the natural cleansing and nourishment of the male reproductive system. 
  • Jackrabbit is an all-natural formula that is designed to help support the male libido and stamina. It may help to naturally support the male reproductive system, improve overall energy, and encourage a healthier libido naturally.
  • Sword Vitality XXL Extreme Cream is the last product that may help increase stamina and vitality for men. It’s a topical cream that works to increase blood flow to male reproductive organs.

Get ready to make one of the easiest salads you will ever prepare. It’s a halfway point between a salad and guacamole, but one thing is for certain: it is undeniably delicious. Plus, it is filled with healthy fats and fiber, two things that work to fill you up. That is very important if you are participating in our Full Body Cleanse, because you want to avoid those feelings of intense hunger as much as possible. Fill up on deliciousness and fresh, whole foods that offer an assortment of antioxidants and nutrients when you enjoy this refreshing spring salad.

The great thing about this recipe is that it comes together in about five to 10 minutes, and you don’t have to go the extra step to make a special dressing. Simply combine the ingredients in a bowl and serve. It makes for a great entree salad (if you are cleansing) or a wonderful appetizer or side dish. Another bonus of this avocado salad is that it contains many colors of the rainbow. If you are familiar with Dherbs, you know that we preach the concept of eating the rainbow. This essentially means that you should eat as many different colored fruits and vegetables as possible in order to obtain a wide variety of antioxidant compounds.

This easy salad calls for just six ingredients: avocado, cherry tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice. You can season the salad with sea salt and pepper, but we don’t count those as ingredients. If you don’t have sea salt and pepper in your kitchen, it’s time to level up, folks. Additionally, you can sub out the bell pepper for diced mango or strawberry if you want to add a tropical element to this salad.

In a world where calorie counting and intense workout regimens dominate weight loss strategies, there’s a lesser-known pathway that taps into your body’s intrinsic ability to burn fat naturally. Imagine if instead of forcing rapid changes through extreme diets, you could simply support your metabolism with nature’s own toolkit. This fresh perspective suggests that by aligning with your body’s natural signals—and the powerful synergy of herbal science—you can achieve sustainable weight loss without feeling deprived or overwhelmed.

The Body as a Self-Regulating Ecosystem

Our metabolism isn’t just a static process that converts food into energy; it’s a dynamic ecosystem with complex feedback loops. Hormones, enzymes, and cellular processes work together to maintain balance. When this ecosystem functions optimally, it efficiently converts stored fat into energy, supports healthy weight, and even improves overall well-being.

Many modern diets focus on restricting calories or isolating specific nutrients. However, this approach often ignores the harmonious interplay of natural processes within our bodies. What if the secret to sustainable weight loss lies in nurturing this ecosystem? By providing the right herbal support, you can gently coax your metabolism into a state where it naturally burns fat more efficiently—an insight that may reshape your understanding of weight management.

Herbal Synergy: Nature’s Blueprint for Fat Burning

Herbal science offers a multi-dimensional approach to boosting metabolism, one that has been refined over centuries of traditional use and is increasingly supported by modern research. Unlike synthetic supplements that often target one aspect of metabolism, herbs work on multiple fronts, creating a balanced and sustainable effect.

Consider these powerful herbal allies:

  • Ginger & Cayenne Pepper: Known for their thermogenic properties, these herbs help raise your body’s internal temperature. This natural heat generation accelerates metabolic processes, increasing the rate at which your body burns calories without the need for harsh stimulants.
  • Cinnamon: Beyond its role in regulating blood sugar, cinnamon helps maintain steady energy levels. By smoothing out the peaks and valleys in your blood sugar, it prevents energy crashes that often lead to cravings and overeating.
  • Dandelion Root: Often overlooked, dandelion root supports healthy digestion and acts as a natural diuretic. It aids in flushing out excess water and toxins, which can reduce bloating and promote a more efficient metabolic process.
  • Green Tea Extract: Packed with antioxidants and catechins, green tea extract not only energizes the body but also helps convert stored fat into usable energy.

The secret lies in how these herbs work together. Instead of relying on one single ingredient to spark fat burning, a well-crafted herbal formula can create a synergistic effect—amplifying the benefits of each component and supporting your body’s natural metabolic rhythms.

A Holistic Shift: Supporting Your Metabolism Naturally

Traditional weight loss strategies often rely on short-term fixes that overlook the importance of long-term metabolic health. A more holistic approach acknowledges that your body is designed to maintain balance and that with the right support, it can be its own best fat-burning machine.

This new understanding leads to a transformative insight: rather than waging war against your body with restrictive diets and extreme workouts, you can work in harmony with its natural processes. By using herbal remedies to enhance metabolic functions, you’re not just burning fat—you’re cultivating a state of health that sustains weight loss over time.

Integrating Herbal Science Into Your Daily Life

Incorporating herbal support into your routine doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about making small, meaningful adjustments that empower your body to function optimally. Here are a few practical steps to consider:

  1. Morning Boost: Start your day with a warm cup of herbal tea infused with ginger, cayenne, or even green tea. Just keep in mind that green tea contains caffeine. This can kickstart your metabolism and prepare your body for the day ahead.
  2. Balanced Meals: Focus on whole, nutrient-dense foods that complement the action of herbal supplements. Incorporate fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, legumes, and whole grains to provide the fuel that your body needs to maintain an efficient metabolism.
  3. Mindful Hydration: Adequate water intake is crucial for metabolic processes. Consider adding a slice of lemon, berries, or various herbs to your water for an extra nutritional boost.
  4. Gentle Movement: Regular, moderate exercise—like a brisk walk or yoga—can further enhance the effects of herbal support. Movement not only burns calories, but also helps regulate hormone levels, creating an ideal environment for fat burning.
  5. Evening Ritual: Wind down your day with a calming routine. A small dose of herbal support in the evening can aid digestion and help your body transition into a restorative sleep cycle.

By integrating these practices, you create a lifestyle that naturally supports your metabolism. Over time, this balanced approach can lead to noticeable improvements in energy levels, digestion, and overall vitality—proving that sustainable weight loss isn’t about drastic measures, but rather nurturing your body’s innate capabilities.

Get ready to take your raw vegan diet to the next level with these homemade pumpkin rosemary crackers. They are savory, 100% raw vegan, and entirely gluten-free. They are nutrient-dense and satisfy your craving for salty snack, whether you are cleansing or not. Unlike most flax crackers, these are not dense; rather, they are quite light and crunchy. The level of crunchiness will depend on how long you keep them in the dehydrator. The thickness of the paste you smear on the dehydrator sheets will also dictate how long you have to dehydrate them.

Fall is pumpkin season, so we love to incorporate raw pumpkin whenever we get the chance. In addition to providing a warming flavor, pumpkin offers a lot of beta-carotene, vitamin C, fiber, and other antioxidants. Two of the antioxidants in pumpkin, zeaxanthin and lutein, work to encourage healthier eyesight. If you do not have pumpkin, you can replace it with butternut squash, as it has a similar flavor, nutritional content, and texture.

Regarding the spices, this recipe calls for rosemary and thyme, which go great with the other ingredients. You can, however, use dill, basil, parsley, cilantro, or other Italian seasonings if you have those on hand. Make things easy for yourself, not more difficult. Lastly, this recipe does take some time to dehydrate (about 20 hours to be exact). Just make sure that you flip the flax mixture once about four to six hours into dehydrating to get an evenly crisp cracker.

These zucchini noodles are great no matter what time of year it is. Enjoy them as a refreshing side while grilling in the summer or let them satiate you as a nutritious entree during the fall. The spiralized zucchini noodles are tossed with fresh herbs, garlic, seasonings, apple cider vinegar, and olive oil, in which they marinated for a little while before serving. Marinating the zoodles helps to intensify the flavors and make the raw vegan entree that much more enjoyable.

In order to make this recipe, you need a spiralizer. You can use a handheld one, but the type with the hand crank is a little more durable and reliable. Once you have your zucchini noodles, place them in a bowl and toss with a couple pinches of sea salt. Allow them to sit like that for about 30 minutes, as this process helps to draw out the water. Naturally, while the zoodles are sitting in that bowl, you can prepare the marinade by mixing all of the ingredients together in a bowl. After those 30 minutes are up, drain the salty water and gently squeeze out the excess water from the zucchini noodles. Pat dry with paper towels.

Once your zucchini noodles are dry, you can transfer them to an airtight container with the marinade, mix well, and keep them in the refrigerator for an hour or so. You can also let them marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes and then enjoy. Although it may not seem like it, these noodles are actually quite delicious when served cold. You can even keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days!

If you didn’t have a reason to fire up the grill, now you do. This grilled vegetable medley is simple to make and exhibits that smoky, charred flavor you want as summer comes to a close. You can turn these grilled veggies into a side dish or make a unique salad. The choice is yours, and we hope that you put your own creative spin on it, as everyone is their own grill master. Just make sure that you don’t burn your veggies to a crisp. You want them to retain some chew and juiciness. Cooking them for too long can dry them out and complete zap them of all their nutrients.

This medley uses red, green, and orange bell peppers, red onion, and zucchini. Feel free to add white button mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, or replace the zucchini with yellow squash. You can even slice up some eggplant if you want! Although we seasoned these veggies with the staples (sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder), you can add other herbs that you enjoy. Great herbs to add include rosemary, thyme, oregano, and parsley.

For grilling, we high recommend that you use a grill basket. A grill basket makes it very easy to keep your veggies from falling through the grates. You can also use a skillet-like basket, or a closed basket with lids and handles. That allows you to flip your vegetables. If you do not have a grill, feel free to use a cast iron grill pan and cook the vegetables on the stove. A grill pan will give you the same char marks, just without the open fire char. Both are viable options!

If you are ever lucky enough to get your hands on some heirloom tomatoes, use them wisely. Make sure that you enjoy them raw to appreciate their sweetness because they are a notch above your average tomato. Combine that juicy sweetness of heirloom tomatoes with the fresh, sweetly tart nectarines that are readily available during summer and you’ve got summer in a bowl. Although it is a simple combination, it is highly addictive and we think you’ll love it.

Nectarines belong to the stone fruit family, but unlike peaches, nectarines have a smooth skin. They come in yellow or white varieties and vary in shape. For this salad, you want nectarines that are not overripe. The last thing you want are mushy nectarines! They should have a slightly firm texture to contrast the soft and juicy heirloom tomatoes. Nectarines that are slightly firmer also offer a flavor that is slightly more tart, which complements the other herbs in this salad.

Because all of the ingredients in this salad are delicate, make sure that you don’t over-toss the salad. A light toss will do to ensure that all ingredients are coated in the dressing. You can pour the ingredients directly over the salad, instead of whisking separately in a small bowl. The simple dressing is very bright and provides the acidity to balance the sweetness of the nectarines and tomatoes.

The great thing about making a salad for a meal is that it doesn’t require too much effort or time. As long as you have about 10 to 15 minutes to prep ingredients and toss them in a bowl, you can make a salad. It can serve as your main course or you can enjoy it as a side dish. The choice is yours, but a salad is always a quick and easy meal to enjoy while you are cleansing. The key is to use different ingredients and dressings, so that you keep your taste buds interested in raw foods.

This salad contains two different citrus fruits: orange and grapefruit. If you are opposed to grapefruit for whatever reason, you can omit it and just replace it with more orange or even blood orange, provided you can find that variety. You can also use tangerines or mandarins, depending on your preference. Similarly, you can use fresh lemon juice if you do not have limes on hand. With all of the citrus in the dressing, you don’t have to worry about the small amount of freshly diced jalapeño. Both the citrus and creamy avocado tame the spice, but you still get to enjoy that subtle kick.

Ideally, use fresh tarragon to get the best flavor. Tarragon is a leafy green herb that is very aromatic, and it goes great in salad dressings or marinades with fresh citrus. It exhibits a mild licorice flavor, but it is less intense than star anise. It is common in many French dishes because it can elevate a dish. In fact, some French chefs refer to it as “the king of herbs,” but just remember that a little goes a long way. That subtle licorice flavor also pairs nicely with the peppery arugula.

Herbal Ice Cubes To Soothe Sunburns https://www.dherbs.com/articles/herbal-ice-cubes-to-soothe-sunburns/ Thu, 18 Jul 2024 09:17:00 +0000 https://www.dherbs.com/?p=171017

Don’t forget to protect your skin when you go out in the sun. If you happen to get a sunburn, soothe it with these DIY herbal ice cubes.

The post Herbal Ice Cubes To Soothe Sunburns appeared first on Dherbs - The Best All Natural Herbal Remedies & Products.

Everyone has their day in the sun during summer. Some people are less fortunate than others and go home looking like freshly boiled lobsters. You’ve seen that bright red skin that stands out from 100 feet away. Although sun exposure is beneficial, sunburn is not. When the skin is burnt to a bright red, you need immediate relief. The soothing sunburn ice cubes in this article can help promote faster healing and provide relief. 

As a quick note, it’s important for everyone to lather up with a skin-safe sunscreen when going out in the sun. If you plan to stay in the sun for long periods of time, make sure to seek shade when possible, hydrate all day long, and reapply sunscreen every couple hours. That may not seem like the most fun thing to remember, but it can help keep your skin safe. For when you let yourself cook a little longer in the direct sunlight and get burnt, you will need to soothe the skin immediately.

Sunburn Soothing Ice Cubes

There are many cooling sprays, after sun gels, lotions, and other natural remedies that can help soothe sunburns. They only last for so long in the fridge before they go bad, though. They are easy to make, but you still have to spend the time to prepare them. Why not have something that won’t go bad and is always cooling and soothing? 

Aloe vera is a great plant to have at your house. It is a low-maintenance succulent and the gel inside the plant has soothing properties that can help accelerate the recovery of sunburns. Researchers note that aloe vera contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help soothe inflamed skin. 

Regarding the soothing ice cubes, many experts do not recommend placing ice on sunburns. The reason for this is because the cold acts as a vasoconstrictor, which reduces blood flow to the area and slows healing time. If you add vasodilating herbs to the ice cubes, though, they can help increase blood flow and solve that issue. Plus, you get the cooling relief from the frozen cubes. 

Comfrey

This plant stimulates tissue repair and works to help the body form healthy skin cells. It is also beneficial for sore joints and damaged skin. Studies have shown that comfrey can help soothe and heal damaged skin. And just like marshmallow root, which is also in these soothing sunburn cubes, comfrey is a demulcent that helps provide a protective barrier over tissues

Lavender

Lavender is an all-around soothing herb that is especially gentle on the skin. It lends itself to a variety of DIY skin care products, so a lot of DIY enthusiasts keep lavender essential oil on hand. Lavender may help disinfect wounds and cuts and acts as an analgesic to soothe pain. It is frequently applied to burns to help soothe the skin and promote faster healing. Lavender also helps to increase circulation to the skin, which accelerates recovery time. 

Calendula

Calendula is very similar to lavender, in that it is a great all-around herb. It is very gentle and great for all skin types. Many studies confirm that it can help soothe inflammation and reduce the severity of cuts, burns, sunburns, rashes, and cuts. Calendula may also help move lymphatic fluid and improve blood circulation.

Marshmallow

Slippery marshmallow works to coat and cool irritated skin, while simultaneously adding moisture. The roots, flowers, and leaves of marshmallow root all exhibit anti-inflammatory properties. You can use leaves and flowers for the cubes (below) or you can use the roots.

Peppermint

Peppermint has a natural cooling effect, making it a great addition to soothing sunburn cubes. The mint plant is also a vasodilator, which stimulates circulation and helps create a warming feeling. If you combine mint with cool or cold ingredients, it feels refreshing on the skin.
