Deadly toxin in the Body

Here’s a small insert of the part about toxicity that Raymond Francis talked about last month: Teleclass

Identifying toxicity as a major cause of overweight is in itself a breakthrough
We’re all in toxic overload. That’s the bad news. Here is the good news – 80% of that toxic load that you’re exposed to is under your personal control. So anybody can learn how to take personal control and reduce their toxic load by 80%.  That’s exactly what I’ve done in my life and that’s why I’m getting younger, and that’s why I’m so healthy, because I’ve reduced my toxic load. Anybody can learn how to do this.

So that’s number one - learn where the toxins are and stop exposing yourself to them. It’s simple things like toothpaste and shampoo that will poison you. So use healthy toothpaste, use healthy shampoo, and make simple choices. 
Get the toxins out of your life. In Never Be Sick Again, there’s a whole chapter on toxins as to where they are and how to avoid them. So stop putting them in your body. I mean, that makes sense, right? Stop exposing yourself to them. 

The next thing you need to do is detoxify. The body is able to detoxify things. It has a very good detoxification system, but for every molecule you present to the body’s detoxification system, it requires many molecules to detoxify that one. So where do the many molecules come from? From your diet. READ MORE

Your liver could be in trouble

If you suffer from indigestion, constipation, moodiness, depression, cravings, poor memory, and hormonal imbalance, menopausal symptoms weight gain and always feeling angry.

Here’s what you can do about it! 

The first thing you need to do is to listen to your body, because your liver, throughout the regeneration process, sends out signals when all is not well.

Like the colon, the liver is begging for a cleanse. Don't worry; it's easy to do.

First, start your morning with a glass of freshly squeezed lemon juice in hot water. This helps to cleanse the liver and promote detoxification. It also stimulates bile production, cleanses the stomach and stimulates bowel motion. Read more

Remember, unlike the stomach for example, the liver rarely tells you directly when it’s upset or if it needs your attention. It does tell you indirectly, though and you’ll notice, when it starts to function or perform poorly.

How will you know it’s functioning poorly~ For starters, your skin will look older then it should be, you’ll see more blemishes, more pimples, more marks, and more rashes than normal.

Have you ever felt "tipsy" on a full moon?

Many of us never think of what our bodies are up to. What happens on a daily basis, we take for granted. We eat, sleep and use the bathroom. We have different lifestyles. But yet one thing remains the same, no matter who you are. Our bodies, weather we like it or not, have an internal body clock. Have you ever felt "tipsy" on a full moon? Or perhaps you've commented on someone's behavior during a full moon.

This is because our body's reacting to the planet's magnetic forces. There is nothing supernatural about it. It just happens. Scientists will tell you, "Every planet has some magnetic pull".

If you think that the moon has some effects on the tides, then you'd be right. Then why can't the same thing happen to the fluids in our bodies? Read More

MINERALS AND WEIGHT LOSS-CELLULITE CONTROL

I've been recommending sea vegetables as part of my healing programs - weight loss, cellulite control, detoxification, beautiful hair and skin, and more. Sea vegetables can transform your health.   Sea vegetables are plants that grow in or near the sea.

They are twelve times more nutritious than the average vegetable. Sea vegetables are rich in minerals and vital trace minerals that we can barely find even in the richest organic soil, especially iodine, iron, B6, B12, magnesium and many others.

Sea vegetables are generally sold in dehydrated form, and if they’re stored in an airtight container in a cool, dark place, such as a kitchen cupboard or pantry, they will keep indefinitely. Because they’re dry when purchased, sea vegetables require soaking in water prior to use. Two exceptions are nori sheets and dulse, both of which can be eaten right out of the package.

  Sea vegetables help your body in numerous ways:

• Weight Management - The thyroid gland is under attack these days. More  people have thyroid issues than ever before. Sea vegetables are a tonic for thyroid function, and increasing thyroid function can be beneficial for weight loss.
• Beautiful Skin - With their internal moisturizing properties, improved detoxification results, and high concentration of skin-friendly nutrients, sea vegetables are huge in the natural beauty industry.
• Remove Radioactive Compounds - Brown seaweed binds and expels radioactive isotopes from the thyroid gland. Detoxification is essential in the post-industrial age.
• Remove Heavy Metals - Our ancestors never had to deal with cadmium, mercury and lead the way we do now. Sea vegetables (Wakame, Arame, Hijiki, and Kombu) help the body efficiently detox these industrial waste products. 

The Fat That Can Make You Thin

Here's some good advice by Bruce Fife, MD, from his book, The Fat That Can Make You Thin:  Research has shown that those who get an adequate amount of fat in their diet generally eat less than those who try to reduce fat intake. The less you eat, the fewer calories you consume. Ingesting an adequate amount of fat in the diet is essential for effective and permanent weight loss.

When people become hungry soon after a meal, they tend to overeat at the next. One of the reasons why fat is necessary for successful weight loss is that it satisfies hunger, helps in reducing appetite and lowers overall food consumption. Fat slows the speed at which the stomach empties, so that you feel full longer. When you’re less hungry during the day, you’ll cut down on snacks and eat less at mealtime. As a result, you’ll consume fewer calories.

Even though fat contains more calories than either protein or carbohydrates, its effect on curbing appetite more than makes up for the extra calories it contains. 

Here’s another tip:

Stay away from FAT-FREE labels- fat-free does not mean healthy. When you see fat-free on a label, be assured that the company is trying to deceive you, so don't buy it. Most fat-free products are simply loaded with unbelievable amounts of sugar and chemicals to help enhance the taste. 

Instead choose: A salad dressing made with olive oil, or just use olive oil and lemon as your salad dressing. If you try it you might like it.

Overeating!

When I first started changing my diet years ago, overeating was a daily habit. I couldn't help myself - I just felt hungry all the time. That really had me puzzled. Here I was, eating a healthy diet, supposedly getting all the nutrients my body needed, yet I was still feeling hungry. What gives?

Back then, two things were happening:

First, my body wasn’t actually absorbing as many vitamins and minerals as it could - like it does now - because nutritionally, it was building its reserves and exuding toxins.

Second, and this is a major cause of overeating - was what I call the “psychology factor”. Basically, I was just used to my stomach feeling "full" the way it felt after eating highly processed cooked meals. My brain had no experience with the raw foods I had started feeding my body, so it kept sending out signals that I must be hungry, simply because my stomach just didn't feel the same! Read more

Cut Sugar from Your Diet in 5 Easy Steps

 Sure, you can cut sugar out of your diet in a few easy steps, but it's going to take some willpower and determination on your part. However, just knowing that sugar can be toxic to your health and wellness is a good way to get that kick-start to a sugar-free lifestyle!

Did you know that sugar (as most of us know it) is not a natural product? Unless you're eating raw cane sugar, you can pretty much believe that the sugar you're eating is white, refined, and filled with empty calories. Even worse, just about every product you buy in the grocery store (unless you're shopping organic) is loaded with sugars. What's the big deal? Other than the empty calories, which pack on pounds, did you know that sugar can throw your body chemistry out of kilter? How about those mood swings and headaches? Most women blame those on PMS. However, sugar is often the culprit, as well as being a leading cause of PMS in the first place. Allergies, chronic fatigue, bloating, gas, weight problems and more can be laid right at sugar's doorstep. Read more

Rule to Acid/Alkaline Balance

In order to maintain optimal health, we need to watch the chemical balances in our bodies. How can we do that, you ask? Basically, with healthy eating habits. You see, the body is balanced much like a swimming pool. Too much acid, and it becomes inhabitable - too little acid, and you'll get algae.

Now, this is not to say you're going to turn green or start emitting waves of sulphuric acid if you're unbalanced, but your body does need to maintain that equilibrium in order to stay fresh, clear and disease free.

So what's this chemical balance all about? Read More

Sticking to a Healthy Diet: You're Worth It!

The best way to determine your unhealthy eating habits is to keep a journal of all the foods and drinks you consume in an average week. Go ahead and try it - you'll more than likely be surprised by the results. Determine what instances or circumstances in your daily lifestyle lead you to consume bad foods - everything from coffee from Starbuck's to fast foods to desserts - put everything on your list and resist cheating!

After you've done that and shocked yourself back to reality, start another journal - this time listing all the GOOD things that you eat and drink every day. Take pride in the fact that the bad foods and drinks you consume show up less and less in your healthy diet journal. After you've made an effort to reduce the amount of bad foods you eat, add exercise to your daily lifestyle.

Exercise is one of the best ways to help your body reach and maintain optimal health and physical fitness. If you really abhor the word "exercise", then try walking. Go for a walk every evening after work. Stop and smell the roses, so to speak. You'll be doing your body, and your mental outlook a big favor.

The more you exercise, the less you'll want to eat bad food - guaranteed! Once you start seeing positive changes in your body shape, and start feeling more energetic and alert because you're not filling your body with empty calories, your new healthy eating efforts will become a habit. Read more
