Did You Know That Fresh Juice Is a Healthy Diet Plan All By Itself?

Fresh Juice Will Improve Your Life!  Have NO Doubt!

Fruits are superfoods, and your grandmother will tell you that you’ve got to have your veggies!

Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Juicing is incredible life giving nourishment because it really works to bring balance to the acidity that most of us struggle with.

Building health is about creating a more alkaline environment within your body.  Your pH level is extremely important.

Balancing your body chemistry will create harmony in your body AND your life!

If the pH balance of your fish tank becomes too acidic, should you treat the water or the fish?

Be certain, that no matter what you do to the fish, if the pH of the water they live in isn’t right, they will DIE!

Every cell in your body is bathed in fluid.  If that environment is highly acidic, you will suffer the consequences in the form of disease!

Bring Balance To Your Body With Fresh Juices…

From YOUR Kitchen!

A Juicer and a Bag of Fruits and Veggies Will Jump Start Your Healthy Diet Plan!

All juicers are NOT created equal!  You want a good one!

I own a Champion Juicer that has been in my kitchen for 18 years.  Talk about a work horse!  I know of several friends who have had their’s even longer.

The reason I bought a Champion was because I didn’t want a juicer that throws my juice around!  Hey, if you are not careful with fruit, you will bruise it, or mash it, and neither makes it more appealing.

Take a look at the way juicers work and you’ll find those that litterally man handle your fruit, and those that grind it up and strain it.  Way back when I bought my juicer, there weren’t as many options as there are today.

Remember that you get what you pay for, and inexpensive juicers are actually going to cost you more in the long run because they will not yeild as much juice from your fruit.

These cheap juicers also spin at very high speeds heating up and causing damage to some of the nutrients in your juice.

One thing is certain, if you can’t clean the thing in 5 minutes, you aren’t likely to use it often!

Good News!

There is a juicer on the market today that is as sturdy as a Champion, but has the added advantage of an even slower spinning chopping blade, giving you even better juice!

AND it’s affordable!

Get a Juicer and Jump Start Your Healthy Diet Plan!

Probiotic Supplements: Does Your Health Depend On Killing Bacteria or Promoting It?

Are you worried about germs?

Maybe you should be more worried about your sanitizer.

Is Your Sanitizer Killing Germs or You?

If it is made by Clarcon Biological Chemistry Laboratory’s facility in Roy, Utah, you definitely don’t want to use it.

The FDA seized all skin sanitizers and skin protectants, including ingredients and components, after Clarcon voluntarily recalled the affected products but then refused to destroy them immediately.

The reason the FDA is so concerned is because the products contain harmful bacteria and are promoted as antimicrobial agents that claim to:

• treat open wounds
• treat damaged skin
• protect against various infectious diseases

There have been no cases of infectious disease reported, but the FDA says that the products contained high levels of a variety of different bacteria.  Some of these bacteria are capable of causing opportunistic infections of the skin and underlying tissues.

This type of infection can require medical or surgical attention and may result in permanent damage.

Obviously this is a worse case scenario.  Literally pouring harmful bacteria into an open wound is about as worse case as you can get.

The reason this issue grabbed my attention is that any attempt to make your environment safer by killing bacteria is a flawed plan.

In Clarcon’s case, they are cultivating opportunistic bacteria, bottling it and selling it.

This is gross negligence, however your home has the possibility of being a very dangerous petri dish, too.

If you use anti-bacterial soaps and even sanitizers, you may well be creating mutant bacteria that are capable of much more harm than the bacteria you killed.  If you are at war with bacteria, you are fighting a losing battle.

Animals that were raised in a germ-free environment were frequently sick, exhibited grossly underdeveloped immune systems and vulnerable intestinal tracts.

You need to work in harmony with bacteria in order to digest your food.  No balance … poor digestion.

Without balance in your body, your normal intestinal flora are over come with yeast and problematic bacteria.

Over time this imbalance can really create serious issues, and will drastically effect your ability to absorb nutrition from your food.

Health Building Begins In Your Bowel!

The number of bacteria in your gut out numbers the number of cells in your body by a ratio of ten to one.  This gut flora has incredible power over your immune system.

Make friends with bacteria, and build your health!

Probiotic Supplements are the equivalent of pouring good bacteria down your throat!  These friendly bacteria promise BETTER health by:

• boosting your immune system
• preventing allergic inflammation and food allergy
• clearing up eczema in children
• healing the intestines from a variety of ailments

Dr. Mercola can explain why supplementing your diet with good bacteria might be YOUR Secret Weapon against disease!

If You Drink Soda, Is Your Healthy Diet Plan Legit?

Does the thought of a tall bubbling glass of soda on ice make you thirsty?  I mean doesn’t it make everyone salivate?

Have a Coke and a smile, right?

The craving for that bubbling glass of smiling goodness has become an epidemic.

Are you addicted to soda?  Is it your drug?

Do you know why you should consider giving it up? Read more

Do Processed Foods Have Any Place In Your Healthy Diet Plan?

What does the term “processed foods” actually mean?

Do visions of t.v. dinners, cookies and chips (or do you call them crisps?) come to mind?

Do you think of canned meats and roasted nuts?

Is bread a processed food, or part of a healthy diet plan? Read more

Do You Have A Healthy Diet Plan?

Is what you eat healthy?

Are you a junk food junkie, or do you try to eat a healthy, well-balanced diet?

How do you know that what you are eating is actually healthy for you?

Go into your kitchen and look in your refrigerator and pantry.

Do you know what types of things should NOT be there?

Contrary to the lovely television commercials reassuring you that corn syrup is safe….. that is the first thing I recommend that you search for and illuminate from your kitchen.

When you begin searching, you will see that it is in everything!

Insulin resistance is definitely a contributing factor to heart failure, and diabetes, as well as a laundry list of dis-ease.

When you are eating “just a little” of a very concentrated, chemicalized sweetener, IN EVERYTHING…. it adds up to TOO MUCH!~

If you eat enough high fructose corn syrup, you will crave it.

Get it out of your kitchen.

The encouraging thing is that since it is in SO many foods, by watching for that one ingredient, and searching for healthier sweeteners in alternative products, you can make a noticeable difference in your health.

Look, nature made sugar in Her own way.  She is pretty good at it too.  Eat plenty of her sweet fruits and vegetables.  You will enjoy her goodies, and they will nourish you and build vitality.

If you eat a diet of highly processed and chemicalized foods, odds are your palate is coated with yeasty build up so that you aren’t enjoying how wonderful Mother Nature’s goodies taste!

Disgusting but true!

Increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables and your palate will be washed clean so that you can actually taste the wonderful subtle flavors of natural foods. (Organic foods are much more tasty than genetically modified foods as well!)

Carbonated beverages are another thing that you really should keep out of your kitchen.  Even if they are sweetened with concentrated fruit juice, the carbonation is not healthy.

Want more energy?

Remove carbonated beverages and all white flour foods from your kitchen.

Your energy level will increase quickly! Prove it to yourself!

White flour foods do not provide you with nourishing calories!

They can not contribute to your health. Remove white flour foods and carbonated beverages and you will transform your energy level.

The twinkle in your eye and the spring in your step will be worth the sacrifice!

Replacing undesirable foods with wholesome foods will play a big role in your healthy diet plan.

Every time you resist health robbing foods, and choose fruits and vegetables instead, you improve your health instead of add to your distress.

If you remove from your kitchen all of the junk foods that tempt you, and only eat them when you are not at your home…. you will eat far less of these unhealthy foods.

It will be soooo much easier to choose healthy snacks when they aren’t hidden behind the potato chips and candy.

What food to you need to stock in your kitchen in order to support a healthy diet plan?

The good news here is that there are many choices to choose from when stocking healthy foods in your kitchen.

A healthy diet plan is only possible if you plan ahead.

Can a Detox Diet Help You Bring Your Life Into Focus?

There aren’t enough hours in the day!

Seriously!  How do YOU get everything done?

Do you ever feel like you are chasing your tail?

That tail chasing feeling is usually accompanied by the nagging feeling that you are forgetting something.

What a bummer when you ARE forgetting something!

Like your supplements or medication! … Need a reminder service?

That can be arranged… but what do you do if you are forgetting to breathe?!

I don’t mean the minimal breathing that keeps us alive.

Breathing is automatic.  If we had to remember to breathe, we would die.

Athletes and singers think about their breathing.  They practice at building their breath.  However, most people don’t realize they are not breathing effectively.

You’d feel a lot better if you were using your lungs to their full capacity!

There is great value in a breath building program!

Would you like more energy, more calm confidence, the ability to recover your well being?!

That is what a breath building program can do for you.

However….

The problem is that unless you have some ulterior motive to improve performance, or your singing voice, you’re not likely to stick with the application of breath building exercises.

Do you really care how you sound in the shower?

You are just not likely to give breath building your time.

Even if you are really suffering, you may not notice quickly enough  improvement in how you feel to motivate you to continue doing it.

So how can you benefit from better breathing if you don’t have the motivation to accomplish it?

The number one reason that you hold your breath… is tension.

Reducing your tension will increase the size of your breath, because your rigid muscles will no longer be squeezing the life out of you!

RELAX!  So that YOU can breathe a sigh of relief!

The cause of your tension could be obvious… or not.

Consistent relaxation practice is the only way to make progress!

If you reduce your tension you breathe more deeply.

“Practice relaxing?  I think I know how to do that!”

Don’t be insulted, I know that you know how to relax; however, I’m asking you to make time each day to devote to releasing the tension that is constantly building.

Simply committing to consistent practice will get you the results you need!  I really want that for you.

Relaxation is not something anyone can give you.  It is something you have to do for yourself.

Give yourself health building, stress reducing, life saving RELAXATION!

• You must work at this.
• You can’t find it in a pill.
• There is no magic yoga posture.
• Every method requires consistent practice.
• Guided meditation, or meditation technology is helpful only when you use it consistently.
• Adequate sleep is necessary to achieve any significant level of relaxation.
• Facing your emotions is the only way to release tension.

Okay, hold the phone here.

How do you consistently practice relaxing if you are ants in the pants uncomfortable to sit in quiet stillness?

REALLY good question!

How do you do ANYTHING that makes you ants in the pants uncomfortable?

Let me ask you a question.

Are you sick and tired of being tense, stiff, and downright irritable?

Do you have really nice friends who are often outwardly irritable?

Are some people just hopelessly stiff, prone to bouts of bitchiness, and cursed to a life of pain and misery?

How can your lovely friends achieve quiet stillness so that they can release those trapped emotions that are plaguing them?

Can a detox diet really help to bring you to a place of focused quiet stillness?

How can a detox diet help you release trapped emotions to resolve blockages, relieve  tension, decrease stiffness, and lessen irritability? Read more
