Detox Drinks

There has been a lot of talk about the benefits of drinking “lemon water” – that is, water with some fresh
lemon juice squeezed into it. We found a nice article which lists 5 Reasons To Drink Lemon Juice In The
Morning!
So, what is all the fuss about with this lemon water thing that everyone is doing all of a sudden?
The most common thing you will hear is that despite being acidic, lemon juice is alkalinizing or “alkaline forming” and cleansing for the system – and that in an alkaline system, diseases such as cancer cannot proliferate. That’s the simplified theory, anyway – and I’m sure that the part about cancer remains “unproven”.
For those who don’t fully understand what “alkalinizing” means, here’s a brief not-too-technical explanation: Acidity and its opposite, alkalinity, are measured on a scale called the pH scale. (It is supposed to be written that way, with the small p and the capital H.) The lowest pH theoretically possible is 0 – for example concentrated hydrochloric acid solution has a pH of 0. The highest pH possible is 14, for example concentrated sodium hydroxide solution. Pure distilled water is pH7 – and anything below 7 is said to be “acidic”. Anything above 7 is said to be “alkaline”. Lemon juice, when pure, has a pH of around 2.2 to 2.4, depending on ripeness – however the more diluted it is, the more the pH shifts towards 7.
 
Something that is alkalinizing is something that causes the pH of the environment in which it resides to increase. Where it gets really interesting – and a little more complex – is when we realize that the actual acid content of the food doesn’t determine per se whether or not it’s acid-forming or alkaline-forming after the body metabolizes it! And it just so happens that lemons are highly alkaline-forming. [1]
Lemon water is considered by many to be a magnificent “detox drink” and it is one of the things that is ubiquitous when you visit the spa. It’s good to stay hydrated, especially at the sauna or during typical bodywork practices such as massage… and the lemon water is thought to assist with removal of toxins, in addition to supporting vital organs such as the liver, kidneys and gall bladder. It’s thought that lemon water will flush and cleanse the system – especially when taken first thing upon waking.
Note that other citrus fruits (and other fruits) are considered beneficial in water also. Oranges, grapefruit, lime and other citrus are alkalinizing, though not as strongly as lemons.
Another interesting thing to be aware of is that refined sugars are acid-forming in the body and are reported to create conditions which are preferable to pathogens. So let’s dump the sugar drinks! I did this several years ago and have never looked back! If you’re really into your detox waters, you might also want to check out this post where we featured a more “advanced” detox water with a few ingredients. :)

What are Nutraceuticals and Why Do We Need Them?

What are Nutraceuticals and Why Do We Need Them?


The term "nutraceuticals" is a combination of the words nutrition and pharmaceutical, coined by Stephen DeFelice, a doctor and the founder of the Foundation for Innovation in Medicine (FIM) in 1989. Since then, the popularity of nutraceuticals has soared, perhaps due in part to increasing suspicions and concerns about chemically over-processed foods and their impact on society at large.


Natural Treatments

People have depended on natural treatments for centuries, using plant extracts, therapeutic massages, even long-perfected dances to heal the ills and anxieties of society. But in more recent generations, natural healing has given way to a thriving industry filled with chemically-generated drugs and laboratory-altered pills.
the effectiveness of scientifically-tested and tampered treatments is undeniable. Extended life spans are in part a testament to extraordinary effects science can have on the body. If not the core problem, then at least the side effects of myriad ailments have been alleviated by modern medicine, often allowing the sick and the suffering to lead vigorous, fulfilling lives.
In spite of modern achievements, much of the public has found fault with prescribed medications. Whether this sentiment has something to do with unusually high expectations or by the inaccessibility to overwhelmingly-expensive healthcare, the fact remains—the popularity of natural treatments has come full-circle.

Natural Herbs

Nutraceuticals

The public’s search for newer, less-expensive and more effective treatments has fueled a growing interest in nutraceuticals. Whether they come in the form of nutrients, herbs or dietary supplements, claims of nutraceuticals’ effectiveness in the prevention of various ailments have brought increased attention to these alternative forms of treatment.


Herbs

Perhaps due to their more obscure, somewhat romanticized image, people have progressively turned to herbs for their potential health benefits. Less tested than those nutraceuticals derived from household fruits and vegetables, herbs have provided the public with hopes of new and undiscovered treatments. The following botanical products, often marketed in the form of concentrates or extracts, have been commonly cited for their therapeutic effects. *
  • Aloe Vera—alleviates inflammation, sooths skins
  • Chamomile—alleviates inflammation, heals wounds
  • Echinacea—treats symptoms of the common cold
  • Ephedra- reduces appetite, narrows blood vessels (thereby increasing blood pressure)
  • Garlic—inhibits growth of fungus, fights common cold, lowers cholesterol
  • Ginger—decreases nausea, lowers cholesterol
  • Ginkgo Biloba—improves short-term memory and attention, increases blood flow
  • St. John’s Wort—decreases depression
  • Willow Bark—alleviates inflammation, relieves pain


Nutraceutical Products

Nutraceuticals have been credited with curing a wide variety of ailments. From the minor to the serious, many have adamantly insisted that the nutraceuticals they tried were responsible for eliminating their health problems. While some popular nutraceuticals have been tested and approved for treatment, others, through word-of-mouth endorsement, have been informally accepted as effective in the improvement of the public’s wellbeing. The amelioration of the following problems has been attributed by some to the nutraceuticals below.

  • Headache
    • Butterbur
    • Feverfew
  • Backache
    • Devil's claw
    • Willow bark
  • Anxiety
    • Kava
    • Lavender
  • Depression
    • Sage
    • St. John's wort
  • Memory
    • Ginkgo
    • Sage

Good Fats & Bad Fats

Which are bad fats, why we should eliminate them

In our daily life, we are eating lots of foods which contain fats. But it is true that most of us do not conscious about the fats.

Is all those foods are really free from bad fats or not. What happen if we got a sudden heart attack or stroke for those bad fats?

In this circumstances, to raise awareness here we will focus on bad fats, which we must avoid if expect long healthy and happy life.

Bad fats are classified into two groups such as, saturated and Trans.

Saturated fats are the most dangerous for human body. The majority of this fat is found in animal’s meat and the dairy products. If we eat a lots of saturated fats then this fats can affect our whole body and mind. Taking excessive saturated fats may increase the risk of heart attacks and stroke. When your body stored lots of saturated fats you don’t able to decrease your weight at all. Mental health can also affected by bad fats.
Red meat consists high in saturated fats. So we should avoid red meat from diet plan. Butter, cheese and cow’s milk also contain saturated fats. These foods are only good for those people who are skinny. Otherwise if you’ve over weight or high blood pressures then give up these kinds of food.

What’s the problem about these foods? The major problem about these foods is that human body cannot digest them correctly. So it is easy to realize that incorrect digest can lead our body sick. As a result hypertension and high blood pressure increase automatically.

Another bad fat is labeled as Trans fats. Most of the man attempt to take away Trans fats. The reason is, this fats is not well for our body as well as dangerous too. This fat is produced while oils tend to be hydrogenated. The Trans fats are typically recognized as trans-fatty acids. It is also known as hydrogenated fat.
What’s the problem occur by this fats? These fats will increase bad cholesterol and decrease good cholesterol. Now we ought to aware about those foods which contain these kinds of fats. By knowing these you may protect yourself by avoid those foods. Most of the processed foods consist of Trans fats. The well known Trans fats foods are fish sticks, French fries, fried chicken etc. Almost any fried foods will certainly include of Trans fats as they are deep-fried throughout hydrogenated fat.

Nearly all margarines contain this fat. Pastries and doughnuts are also these categories. Cookies and chips are the most significant carriers of these bad fats. No one will tell you when you buy the food products that if those foods contain the Trans fats or not. What to do in this situation? You better look at the pack of those foods. Because there must be written the ingredient list. Seek for the word ‘hydrogenated’. If the list consist too many ingredient name then you may find the name hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated. By this way you can avoid those Trans fats foods.

Dr. Oz's Recommendation on Taking Supplements

Dr. Oz's Recommendation on Taking Supplements


This is a direct quote from the famous Dr. Oz.

"A survey was done on real age and less than 1% of people actually get the nutrients they need from their foods. Unless your superhuman and you've got a great supply of food that has all the nutrients it used to have a hundred years ago, you can not trust that an apple today has the same nutrients it used to have so you are better off taking supplements to be safe."

Soil is the main factor of the decrease in needed nutrients:
Why We Need To Supplement Our Bodies With Nutrients 

According to the U.S. Bureau of Soil:
Soil is important for the support of life processes. Real soil only exists on Earth. Soil is the place where atmosphere, biosphere, hydrosphere, and lithosphere meet. Over 60,000 types of soils have been cataloged
Without soil, there is no food. Soils take 10's of thousands of years to form in rock weathering processes. Weathering occurs due to a combination of chemical and mechanical processes that are subject to strong positive (reinforcing) feedback mechanisms.
Over geologic time, rock weathering processes have led to sedimentary rocks and salty oceans!
Plants obtain inorganic minerals (nutrients) from the soil and incorporate their elements into biochemical materials. Animals may eat plants and each other, and synthesize new proteins, but the building blocks are the amino acids originally synthesized in plants. Soil effectively husbands the needed nutrients in the upper horizons.
The availability (or lack of availability) of important nutrients places critical constrains on the type of life that can survive in particular ecosystems.
Soil erosion is a very serious problem globally because of its inextricable link to development activities. Soil conservation is therefore a very serious business and an important part of future global change studies.

It Works! Global has a wonderful supplement line that is all natural, bio-active and bio-available.

Why Network Marketing And What Is It

Why Network Marketing? And What is it?

Multi-level marketing (MLM) iNetwork Marketings a marketing strategy in which the sales force is compensated not only for sales they personally generate, but also for the sales of the other salespeople that they recruit. This recruited sales force is referred to as the participant's "downline", and can provide multiple levels of compensation. Other terms for MLM include pyramid sellingnetwork marketing, and referral marketing.
Most commonly, the salespeople are expected to sell products directly to consumers by means of relationship referrals and word of mouth marketing. Some people use direct selling as a synonym for MLM, although MLM is only one type of direct selling, which started centuries ago with peddling.

So, is Network Marketing Good or Bad?

Trump on Network Marketing
Trump on Network Marketing
Traditional marketing methods have companies spending millions of dollars each year to market their products and services.
They know that word-of-mouth marketing is a far more powerful and effective method of marketing, especially, when that message comes from those whom we know and trust!
And these companies are more than willing to pay you, to communicate this message to your network of friends and family.
In other words, network marketing companies use their independent distributors in place of paying marketing firms. The distributors introduce the products to consumers and make commission versus the marketing companies making commission.
So, is there bad in this? Nope! It's a complete WIN-WIN all around. The product is being introduced by a distributor who is allowed to work without punching a time clock.

Why Doesn't Everyone Do Network Marketing Since It's So Simple?

Network Marketing
If you want to call your own shots in life, if you’re willing to get the education you will need to run a small business, if you enjoy working with people, then network marketing just might be right kind of business for you.
If on the other hand, you’re only in it for the money or you just don’t like dealing with people well then…
… You’ll most likely end up failing!

How Do You Find The Right Network Marketing Company to Partner With?

The thing is, many people just sign up with an MLM because their sister-in-law or "friend of a friend" TOLD them it was a reputable company. Or because the ad TOLD them they would make big money overnight. These are not good reasons for joining a network marketing company! There should be research and footwork involved before signing anything.
Did you know that many MLM's that have been in the business for years and years may not be the best companies to join? "Why?" you ask? Many of these companies have outdated pay plans, bad reputations, or a myriad of other problems you may not want to get involved with. Of course, if you find one that fulfills all of your requirements - Fantastic! Just don't assume that because they have been around that they are reputable - many are not, unfortunately. The effort involved may seem overwhelming at first, but the following should help you find the right MLM to join...
Just like any business you would start, you need to have the emotional connection with the product or service. You must believe in the foundation of the business and the products. Do your research! You would run out and get a business license to start a heating and cooling business or a hair salon without knowing and liking the business, right? So do the same when looking for a work from home opportunity.
Don't look for a "get rich quick" scheme, it will just land you back at square one. Look for a company that has a reputable history, solid financial strength, an honest product and YES a  good compensation plan is a must too! Can't work for pennies, right!

The company that I found for myself is It Works! Global, Why?

It is a debt free company
Network Marketing
Try it to believe it
Has been in business since 2001
Has one of the best compensation plans in the industry
The products are true to the claims (the signature product, the Body Wrap and the supplements really work)
It is a Christian based company that bases it's foundation on honesty and truly helping others
