We are having a SALE !! Yerba Mate for Your Energy Boost

Administrator — Thu, 24 Jun 2010 23:00:38 +0000

Are you looking for increased mental clarity, more energy and overall optimal health? Then I suggest adding Yerba Mate to your daily nutritional intake. The main ingredient for this drink is a tea which is made from the Yerba Mate tree which is native to the subtropical Atlantic forests of Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina. This evergreen member of the holly family was introduced to modern civilizations by the indigenous Guarani of these countries. When the leaves are dried and brewed into a drink it is a healthy alternative to coffee. Yerba Mate is known as “The Drink of the Gods” by many indigenous groups in South America. Yerba mate has significant health benefits that have been peaking the interests of many Americans. Follow the recipe that I have included and drink yourself to health.

Yerba Mate Citrus Energy Drink (makes one gallon)

3 qts. water

8 tbs. yerba mate

1/2 lb. ginger (sliced and fresh)

Boil the ginger for 10 minutes, remove the ginger and add the mate leaves, steep leaves for 10 more minutes then strain out the leaves.

Add:

Juice from 12 lemons

Juice from 12 limes

12 mashed strawberries

(1) 8 ounce jar of honey (locally found if possible)

Mix and add ice as desired or drink hot.

Avoid during the cleanse: breads, pasta, rice, all meats including chicken, turkey, beef, etc.

Reduce dairy consumption during the cleanse.

Increase your intake of the following during the cleanse:

Any greens, spinach, zucchini, kale, wheat grass, and chlorophyll,

Any fruits, especially watermelon, apples, pineapple, figs, papaya, coconuts and avocadoes,

Good fats, especially olive oil, flax oil, coconut oil, and chia oil

Whole grains are ok such as quinoa

Some fish are ok especially flaky fish such as salmon.

Chronic Inflammation and The Diet to Prevent it.

Administrator — Thu, 20 May 2010 03:30:05 +0000

Prevention is the best way to keep chronic inflammation from your body. If you have chronic inflammation it is possible to reverse it by changing the way you eat. Get plenty of sleep, don’t eat junk food and follow a diet that is known as the Anti-Inflammatory Diet.

Researchers of nutrition, alternative medicine and biochemists say that the most important factor is what we eat when it comes to prevention and reversing chronic inflammation. A study in the July 7, 2004 Journal of the America College of Cardiology confirms what experts are saying – a diet high in fruits, veggies, legumes, olive oil and whole grains including fish, nuts and low fat dairy products help to protect the body from chronic inflammation. In addition some experts suggest reducing allergen grains like wheat to reduce the inflammatory response in our body.

The Anti-Inflammatory Diet:

1. 4-6 servings of veggies a day (include greens like kale and collards)

2. Nuts and seeds high in omega 3 (walnuts, flaxseed ground fresh daily and pecans and almonds

3. Fruits high in antioxidants and low in sugar like apples, blueberries and strawberries

4. Olive oil on salads and main dishes

5. Coconut, grape seed or avocado oil for cooking

6. Herbs such as oregano and rosemary high in antioxidants

7. Herbs like ginger and turmeric that are high in antioxidants

8. Fish low in mercury and high in omega 3 like wild salmon and sardines

Changing your diet should be your number one goal towards staying healthy!

What Germs are in Your Home?

Administrator — Mon, 17 May 2010 22:30:46 +0000

Did you know that the average hand can have 150 species of bacteria on it? We all know that some bacteria are good for our body and they are present, but some are making you sick.

The Center for Hygiene and Health in Home and Community conducted a study on the bacteria found in homes. Here are some hiding places for those that may be affecting your health.

These spots may not be cleaned as regularly as they should:

Pet feeding areas or dishes, microwave touch pads, spices and condiment containers, kitchen faucets and handles to the oven, refrigerator and drawers, kitchen dish rags and sponges, tubs and showers, remotes to electronics and television sets, computers and keyboards, telephones, light switches and door knobs, baby changing areas that includes the wipe container and diaper packages.

These are all areas that have a high concentration of bacteria and are forgotten in our routine cleaning but can eliminate the cause of many illnesses in your home.

Healthy Benefits to Lemons!

Administrator — Tue, 11 May 2010 21:15:39 +0000

Many know that citrus fruits like lemons are famous for preventing scurvy but there are several other benefits to this abundant fruit in the Valley.

We cannot synthesize our own vitamin C like animals can so we must get it from our diets.

In many places around the globe, lemons are used for medicinal purposes. They are used as an astringent and febrifuge, and as a diuretic and antiscorbutic. Cubans use the root of the lemon to treat fever, while West Africans use it for gonorrhea, as well as the peel and bark to relieve colic.

Lemons contain flavonoids which help to strengthen capillaries and other connective tissue in the body. The flavonoids contain anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, antiviral and antioxidant compounds.

A long acting limonoid, or compound that is found in citrus, known as limonin, is present in lemons and is readily absorbed by the body at roughly the same quantity as vitamin C.

Salt Crystal Lamps Act as an Ionizer

Administrator — Wed, 05 May 2010 23:00:54 +0000

Did you know that salt crystal lamps have a similar effect to an ionizer? Although the natural ionization of a salt lamp cannot be compared to an electronic ionizer, it has an ionizing effect. They also have many other advantages and can improve the atmosphere of a room.

The colors of the salt crystal stones have a healing effect. The therapeutic aspect of the lamp can reorganize the epidermal layer of our skin. Research has shown that children with ADHD symptoms have seen significant improvement in their symptoms after minimal exposure to the lamps.

The lamps have also shown through scientific research, to exhibit biophysical characteristics, which have a positive effect on our well-being.

It is not only the salt from a chemical view that the body needs to maintain our entire bodily function, but the salt, from a biophysical view, will always be able to bring the body back to its natural energy vibration rhythm.

Salt crystal lamps bind negative ions with the excessive positive ions that are significant near a computer or television. When the lamp heats up it absorbs moisture and the crystal will be damp on the surface. This builds up the ion field. Through the lamp, the positively charged atmosphere of a room can be neutralized.
