How Clean Are You?

Do you have toxins building up in your colon? Everything we eat ends up in our bowels as toxins which can end up causing various diseases. This is the reason why so many people suffer from being overweight, constipation and digestion issues. An essential to good health is a healthy colon by incorporating a colon cleanse twice a year.

Toxins come from many sources:
· Food that may have been exposed to pesticides, herbicides and fertilizers. By eating non-organic apples, grapes and bananas you are consuming a high number of pesticides and herbicides. This means your body is loaded with TOXINS

· Hormones used in raising livestock or dairy products are also loaded with TOXINS. In order to avoid this problem, one must eat organically grown meats and dairy.

· The burning of fossil fuel in automobiles and utility power plants which can affect air quality

· Treated wastewater that flows into rivers, lakes and streams which can contain unwanted pollutions

Two most important herbs to help detoxification:
· Super Milk Thistle supports healthy liver and gall bladder function
· Fiber eliminates and safely absorbs toxins and improves colon function.

Do You Want Your Body To Burn Fat On Its Own?

Now that the holiday season is over, many people are looking for a quick fix in losing weight. In order for the body to burn optimal fat, one must exercise and eat a sensible diet. For best results, interval training will burn fat faster than any other forms of exercise. One must also partake in weight training or add more weight to their current training regime.

Magnesium To The Healthy Rescue

In the last century, American’s intake of magnesium has decreased by 50%. As a result, the consequences have become alarming. A lack of magnesium underlies our epidemic of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoporosis, says Lawrence Resnick, M.D. a professor of medicine at Cornell Medical Center. Dr. Resnick also states many people worsen the problem by loading up on calcium, which flushes magnesium out of cells. The recommended daily allowance for women is 320 mg, while men can have 400mg of calcium.

Top 5 Ways Magnesium Can Benefit You:
1. Heart Arrhythmias
· In a British study, taking magnesium daily for six weeks reduced arrhythmias between 25% and 50%. If you have an irregular heart beat, you may want to think about taking this supplement.
2. Strong Bones
· Tufts researchers found high magnesium intake predicted higher bone mass and less bone loss in older people. People who lift weights or contribute to exercise daily could seriously benefit from magnesium.
3. Migraines
· Over half the people who suffer from migraines are either low or completely deficient in magnesium.
4. Sound Sleep
· Magnesium is natural muscle relaxer, allowing your brain to turn “off.”
5. Pain Relief
· If you are having leg cramps or any other types of cramps, magnesium is the answer. Rather than taking a Tylenol for a small ache or pain, try magnesium. Plus, magnesium doesn’t eat up the liver, like other pain medicines.

How Much Sugar Are You Consuming?

If you haven’t noticed, nearly every processed food on the grocery shelves contains added sugars. These processed foods are most likely everyday condiments, breads, breakfast cereal or even a favorite beverage!

Facts about the average American and how much they consume in SUGAR:
· 30 – 40 teaspoons of sugar is consumed daily
· The average American consumer 24 ounces of soda daily
· Teen boys average the most consumed soft drinks by gulping down 32 ounces a day.
· 50% of American’s consumer a soft drink is consumed nearly everyday.
o This accounts for nearly 6% of their daily caloric intake
o 36% of soft drinks contribute to their sugar daily intake

Through research, American’s consume about 125 grams of sucrose daily and about 70% of fructose or fruit sugars daily. This unnecessary amount of sugar is being connected with the rise in obesity, diabetes, and other diseases. Just remember, every time you gulp down that icy cold soft drink, processed foods or a protein bar containing high fructose corn syrup (hfcs), you are losing bone mass!

What is wrong with our Country?

The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans. The Japanese also drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than the British or Americans.

The Italians drink excessive amounts of red wine and also suffer few heart attacks than the British and Americans.

The Germans drink a lot of beer and eat lots of sausage and fats and suffer lower heart attacks than the British and Americans.

Conclusion: Eat and drink what you like. Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

To be quite honest, in the United States people suffer from heart attacks by the types of food one chooses to consume. As American’s, we are the only country that is not able to export our goods. Why, because they do not meet the standards of other countries. Our country has ruined our food products by contaminating them with preservatives, such as Trans Fats, high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), processed foods and artificial sweeteners. Not only is our country is talking about cloning our meat products, but they are injecting them with growth hormones!
