Friday, June 25th, 2010

Detox For Life, LLCAre 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)

Detoxifying Your Liver

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Detox For Life, LLCThe liver is responsible for handling most of our energy needs.  It takes raw building blocks from food and breaks it down into basic nutritional components.  The liver creates and stores sugars for both immediate and long-term energy use.  If the liver is congested or diseased it will not receive or send out enough blood sugar and your energy will drop.  Chronic lack of energy, especially after meals, could be the result of a sluggish liver.
