DAILY DETOX DRINK!

Whether you’re just trying to steer clear of the sugary drinks, or aim to really help your body flush out any toxins lurking in your system, this refreshing blend of foods and flavors will satisfy your taste buds needs. Included: Watermelon/cucumber, lemon/lime, mint leaves, and water. Why Watermelon (or cucumber): Watermelon helps the body flush out toxins because it contains the organic compound citrulline, which is an amino acid that has been shown to help the liver and kidneys filter and get rid of ammonia. Ammonia comes in external forms, but is also a by-product of the proteins our bodies are burning up constantly for energy, and it’s quite damaging to our cells. Cucumber also contains citrulline, but not as much as watermelon. Watermelon may also just give the liver an overall boost. Why water: H20 is just plain good for us, but it’s thought that it helps flush nasty toxins and waste through our system, giving organs like the liver and kidney an easier time doing th

Don’t Cross Your Legs – It’s Unhealthy

When the muscles of the legs and knees are not nourished and don’t have good circulation, then the extremities stagnate, which can lead to varicose veins or broken capabilities and other problems. Look at the ankles of people age 40 and over who have the habit of crossing their legs. Note the broken veins and capabilities. When the muscles and feet do not get their full supply of blood, the feet become weak and poor circulation sets in. Cold feet usually torment the leg crosser. A well-known heart specialist was asked, “When do most people have a heart attack?” He answered, “At a time they are sitting quietly with one leg crossed over the other.” When you sit, plant both feet squarely on the floor or a box if needed because crossing your legs puts an unnecessary burden on your heart! People who are habitual leg crosser's have more acid crystals stored in the feet than those who never cross their legs. Crossing the legs is one of the worst postural habits of man. It t

Benefits of Waking Up Early

Early to bed and early to rise makes you healthy, wealthy as well as wise. And that is not merely an age-old saying. It works in daily life too. Read on to know how. 1. Time to Exercise Waking up early gives you the time to exercise. You can easily go for a jog, do a few laps in the pool, practice yoga or hit the gym with plenty of time at hand. 2. Time to Meditate There is nothing like beginning the day with a dose of meditation. It will help calm your mind and sharpen your reflexes to keep you going through your busy schedule of work. 3. Experience the Charm of Early Morning Only an early morning person knows the charm and serenity that those hours offer. The silence, the birds chirping, the absence of cars honking, and the sunrise are all advantages only early rising can offer. 4. Increase Productivity and Efficiency A study conducted at the Texas University in 2008 revealed that early risers are more prone to be productive and efficient at work. In

Baking Soda Cures Cancer, One Man's Story

When Vernon Johnston was diagnosed with stage 4 prostate cancer, his options were few. The standard treatment required him to submit to bouts of chemotherapy and hope that the poisonous drugs that will be fed into his body can kill off cancer cells faster that they can kill off healthy, normal cells. Chemotherapy represents a drastic measure that oncologists are all too eager to recommend and an option patients dread with good reasons. Often times, chemotherapy leaves the body drained and the immune system damaged. When it fails, and it does fail often, chemotherapy severely reduces the chances of success of any subsequent treatment options. Yet 9 out 10 cancer patients turn to chemotherapy first. In Vernon ’s case, the prostate cancer was already advanced and had metastasized to his bones. Chemotherapy would have been long and expensive and there was no guarantee that those drugs would work. So, Vernon took matters into his own hands. On his brother’s advice, V
