Lowering Your Intake of Sodium

Sodium is an essential trace mineral that the body needs in small quantities in order to be healthy. In fact the recommended daily intake of it is only between 1500 to 2400 mg per day, which equates to 1 tsp. or less per day.

However, due to all the processed and fast foods, most people consume much more salt in a day than that. Studies show that the average person consumes somewhere between 2,500 to 5,000 mg a day. That is more than twice the recommended daily intake. Read More...

Cancer is not an incurable disease as most doctors, the FDA, or the National Cancer Institute (NCI) would have you to believe.

What Causes Body Odor

There are several myths when it comes to the topic of body odor, regarding as to what it is, what causes it, and how to stop it. When we think of it we tend to think of sweat; as every time one breaks into a sweat bad body odor arises. So we use deodorants and antiperspirants to mask the smell and stop the sweating altogether in the attempt to get rid of body odor.

But sweating is good for you; it cleans the pores in your skin and helps to keep you looking young. Sweat by itself is odorless and is not the cause of body odor by any means. So masking the odor or stopping the sweat is not the answer. Read More...

Health Benefits of Juicing

Juicing your fruits and vegetables can be very beneficial to your body. Our bodies require that we eat at least 1 pound of vegetables for every 50 pounds of body weight. That's a lot of vegetables and most people don't find the time to eat that many. But with juicing it makes it fast and easy to consume the daily requirements.

Also, when juicing we tend to use a larger variety of vegetables—some which we wouldn't consume otherwise. This helps to ensure we get all the vitamins and minerals we need.

One of the main health benefits of juicing is that the juice doesn't pass through the digestive system but goes straight into your bloodstream and cleans the blood and liver. All the nutrients are absorbed immediately, and they work together to increase the metabolism, which increases energy levels and helps in weight loss. Fresh juices when combined with a healthy diet can help to get rid of cellulite faster than any other food or drink.

Freshly squeezed juices contain beneficial enzymes also known as proteins, and are high in vitamins and minerals and antioxidants. Antioxidants help to flush out harmful toxins and free radicals that contribute to many common ailments and serious and life-threatening diseases.

By drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices and staying away from other junk food you can prevent just about any sickness or disease imaginable. Anything from the common cold and depression to asthma, poor blood circulation, heart disease, arthritis, Alzheimer's and even cancer can be avoided when consuming the recommended amount of fresh fruit and vegetable juices every day.

Fruit and vegetable juices act as an anti-aging remedy by getting rid of all the free radicals which overtime cause wrinkles and other damages to the skin and muscles. They clear up the pores to prevent and cure acne and black-heads. Thus they can help to boost self esteem and help with social anxiety.

Bones and teeth will become stronger. Muscles will tone up and won't be as stiff, thus juicing is essential in helping to prevent and even cure fibromyalgia.

A juice fast can help to break unhealthy habits such as coffee, sodas, smoking and overeating.

For those who are sick, these juices can help to recover faster and even cure diseases which modern medicine has no cure for. All you need to get started with juicing is juicer and fresh fruits and vegetables.

3 Ways to Control Body Odor

Body odor is not something that anyone wants to deal with, as it can be embarrassing if it gets out of hand. Proper hygiene can do wonders for helping to control body odor, but there are also a few other things that you can do to help with the problem.

The common understanding is that body odor is caused by sweating, but, the truth is that the odor is actually caused by the toxins that the sweat brings out to the surface of the skin. Thus when your body is free from toxins, then a foul body odor will not be a problem. Here are 3 ways to control body odor, aside from proper hygiene.

Healthy Diet

When the foods that go into your body are dead because they have been heavily processed, and contain many harmful ingredients, then the smell of those foods will not be pleasant when they come out. These are foods that the body does not know how to break down and digest properly, and thus they remain in the body for a period of time and become toxic before the body can begin to eliminate them.

But when you feed the body live foods that it can digest and eliminate within a day or so, then the foods do not have a chance to become toxic, and thus the body odor is reduced, and in many cases eliminated altogether.

The foods that need to be eliminated are animal proteins, particularly red meat, fast and processed foods, as well as all junk foods such as chips and candy bars, as they can all cause body odor.

Then the foods to incorporate are live plant-based foods such as fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices and nuts and seeds. Ginger root, lemon balm, mint, sage and cilantro are excellent herbs to naturally help with body odor.

Juice Fast

A juice fast will give the digestive system a break, and during this time, no new toxins are introduced to the body. Thus the toxins that have accumulated in the body for a while are able to leave the digestive tract and the blood stream. The fewer amount of toxins that are in the body, the less offensive the odor will be.

Sweating

Sweating is good for you, for the more you sweat, the more toxins can be released from the body. To promote the body to break into a sweat, you can take a hot bath, sit in a sauna or engage in exercise.

Just remember that when you promote your body to break into a sweat, that you consume plenty of fluids to replace those that you lost during sweating.
