Comments Off on Why Add Cran Water to Your Daily Routine?

Why add cran water to your daily routine? Because of the multiple health benefits it offers!!! Cran water may be just the thing you need, according to Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S., to support a healthy lymphatic system amongst a host other benefits like elimination, balancing hormones, strengthening connective tissue, reducing cellulite and liver health. I first learned about the benefits of “cran water”, not to be confused with the sweet, sugar laden cran juices on grocery store shelves, from Ann Louise Gittleman, Ph.D., C.N.S. She has been decades ahead of the pack when it comes to nutrition. Before there was low-carb, paleo, keto and all the other diet fads out there, there was the wisdom of Ann Louise Gittleman, truly “The First Lady of Nutrition”. I have followed her and her work for decades and have learned an incredible amount of information from her. I was doing some research … Continue reading →

One simple thing that you can do to support your body on a daily basis is to start the day off right with a cup of warm lemon water! Begin by drinking 8 oz. of warm water (not boiling) with the juice from one half a lemon mixed in before breakfast. CAUTION: Don’t put lemon juice in water that’s warmer than 140°F, as this can break down all of the goodness inside. This morning ritual helps thin bile to get it moving. It’s a great way to gently cleanse and detoxify your liver and kidneys*. NOTE: Lemon juice is acidic and can affect teeth enamel. After drinking lemon juice/water be sure to rinse your mouth with plain fresh water! Kick it up a notch with Lemon Vitality! Lemon Vitality essential oil is cold pressed from the rind of the fruit, making it alkaline and not acidic like lemon juice. Add … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Exposing Sugar’s Dirty Little Secrets

Reducing sugar and highly processed foods, from your diet, could change your life.- Jody Stanislaw   It’s time to expose sugar’s dirty little secrets. It’s a silent killer and its devastating effects are creating more deaths than automobile accidents. Did you know that in animal studies they found that sugar is more addictive than cocaine? One study done on rats showed that chronic sugar consumption creates as much damage to the brain as abuse done in childhood. There is growing scientific consensus that one of the most common types of sugar, fructose, can be toxic to the liver, just like alcohol. Data from animal and human studies implicate added sugars (eg, sucrose and high-fructose corn syrup) are responsible in the development of fatty liver disease and its consequences. Added fructose in particular, as a component of added sugars, may pose the greatest risk for fatty liver disease. According to Dr. … Continue reading →

Comments Off on Kicking Toxic Products to the Curb- DEODORANT

Each and every day we use products in our homes, that are slowly poisoning us with toxic chemicals. Most people are under the assumption that if a product is available for sale and found on our grocery store shelves that it must be safe. That our government regulatory authorities protect us from all harmful chemical exposure. Unfortunately nothing could be further from the truth. Our system of limiting exposure to toxic chemicals is not working and failing us miserably. Its time for us to take action and start kicking toxic products to the curb. We need to start reading labels and become informed consumers! According to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Top 10 Killer Household Chemicals Study the top 10 most dangerous chemicals in our home: air fresheners, cleaning supplies, dishwasher soap and dish soap. Other danger spots listed: beauty supplies and personal care products—hairspray, gel, shampoo, deodorants/antiperspirants. Antiperspirants containing … Continue reading →

Kombucha tea, one of my favorite superfoods, has been around for a long, long time and in recent years has really grown in popularity. Its a naturally carbonated beverage that when made properly, happens to be a super nutritious thyroid and autoimmune elixir, full of B vitamins, vitamin C, enzymes for digestion, acids to boost the immune system, and gut-healing probiotics.   Many scientific studies have been conducted on Kombucha tea. Russian researchers discovered that many of its components have antibiotic and detoxifying characteristics, and they play a decisive role in the biochemical processes in the body. Its been reported that it detoxes heavy metals, plastics, and neurotoxins! Kombucha tea is made from a scoby mushroom which consists of a gelatinoid and tough mushroom-web membrane in the form of a flat disk. It lives in a nutrient solution of tea and sugar, in which it constantly multiplies through germinating. The fungal disc … Continue reading →

Time to CLEANSE & REBUILD

Would you like to combat all the garbage you’ve exposed your body to over the years and help it function at optimal levels? The average American diet includes highly processed foods, laden with high fructose corn syrup, sugar or artificial sweeteners, dyes, pesticides, and ingredients whose names most people can’t even pronounce. Hippocrates, known as the father of medicine, is well known for this quote which you’ve probably heard a thousand times, right? “Let thy food be thy medicine, and let thy medicine be thy food.” The modern day version of this is… “garbage in, garbage out” or “You are what you eat!”   The consumption of dead, chemical laden, highly processed foods and exposing ourselves to toxic, hormone disrupting chemicals, multiple times on a daily basis is wreaking havoc on on bodies and literally making us sick. Is it any wonder that so many people experience so many health … Continue reading →

No matter how hard we try, it’s impossible to completely eliminate our exposure to them. We are literally surrounded by them. They are found everywhere… in our homes, our offices, in stores and buildings, and yes even in our food supply. Over time this toxic chemical exposure takes its toll on our body and our health. Cleansing should be considered a periodic process and done every so often over a period of time. Many health advocates recommend doing a cleanse 4 times a year. Just be sure to give your body a break in between cleanses. Below you’ll find some examples of different types of gentle, safe internal cleanses. Be sure to consult with your health professional before starting a cleansing regimen. The Master Cleanse … Continue reading →

Most people are totally unaware of the dangers that synthetic fragrances pose to our health or how many times we’re exposed to them on a daily basis. Chemical fragrance is really nothing more than a conglomeration of man-made chemicals, many of them very toxic and found to cause many health problems including cancer. Fragrance is found in all kinds of everyday products… scented candles, air fresheners (both plug-in and spray cans), hand sanitizers, laundry detergent, fabric softeners, dryer sheets, household cleaning products, personal care products to include shampoos, deodorant, body washes, and cosmetics. Even in your favorite perfumes and colognes. The list literally goes on and on. If a product has a fragrance chances are its coming from a toxic soup of synthetic, man-made chemicals. We are constantly exposed to them and they can be found literally everywhere- in our homes, cars, schools, office buildings, stores, malls, etc. In fact, … Continue reading →
