This Drink is The Main Reasons Why Many People Suffer Health Problems

When suffering from any health problem the first thing you need to do is to look in your ‘box’, your environment, your food and your drink before searching out of the box.

According to Dr. Mercola, “if you are actually drinking soda as a beverage, you are putting your health at risk every time you do so. Drinking just one soda a day can increase your risk of being obese by an amazing 60 percent. And it will increase your risk of diabetes by 85 percent! Soda drinkers even have a higher throat cancer risk.

From a nutritional standpoint, soda has pretty much nothing to offer except bad news– including the ridiculous new “healthy” sodas that have hit the stores recently. Some of the major components of a can of soda include:

Phosphoric Acid: This can interfere with your body’s ability to use calcium, which can lead to osteoporosis or softening of your teeth and bones.

Sugar: It is a proven fact that sugar increases insulin levels, which can lead to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, diabetes, weight gain, premature aging and many more negative side effects. Most sodas include over 100 percent of the RDA of sugar, usually in the form of high fructose corn syrup, the number one source of calories in the U.S.

Caffeine: Caffeinated drinks cause jitters, insomnia, high blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, elevated blood cholesterol levels, vitamin and mineral depletion, breast lumps, birth defects, and possibly some forms of cancer.

If you thought diet sodas might be a better option, think again. They are filled with unnatural, artificial chemicals, and are actually even worse the regular soda. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame (Equal) alone, including brain tumors, birth defects, diabetes, emotional disorders and epilepsy/seizures. On top of all that, they won’t even help you lose weight; in fact, they will double your risk of obesity by stimulating your appetite, increasing your carbohydrate cravings, and activating your body’s fat storage mechanisms. If you have suffered from an adverse reaction to any aspartame product, contact the FDA Consumer Complaint Coordinator in your area.

Nutritionally speaking, soda is one of the main reasons why many people suffer health problems. Aside from the negative effects of the soda itself, drinking a lot of soda is likely to leave you with little appetite for vegetables, protein and other food that your body needs.

If you struggle with an addiction to soda (sugar is actually more addictive than cocaine), I strongly recommend you consider Turbo Tapping, a simple yet highly effective tool that will help you stop this health-harming habit.

And remember that a glass of fresh clean water with a squeeze of lemon or lime makes a great soda alternative any day.

However, soda provides some benefit such as:

Cleaning your dirty toilet bowl
Removing rust spots from chrome
Getting gum out of your hair
Getting rid of skunk odor
Cleaning grout
and more

If soda can really do such harsh things, what does it do to your internal body-YOU?

Gross Ingredients Might Be Hiding in Your Foods

Human body is designed to have, digest and assimilate real wholesome food which nowadays becomes a bit challenging and difficult to find while industrialized and artificial food is plenty. However, this ‘food’ is full of harmful substances that alter body chemistry leaving it prone to all kind of illnesses or diseases. I came across this interesting article and found it noteworthy to share it with you. So, if you don’t make your meal yourself and from scratch, you can’t know exactly what is hiding in your pre-made food.

“That’s because companies are allowed to use misleading names for food additives – or can omit listing the ingredients altogether, labeling them simply “natural flavors.” Sure, you’ve probably heard about pink slime in burgers, but has anyone mentioned the beetles and beaver anal glands in your smoothie?

Here’s just a few of these unpleasant and, frankly, disgusting secret ingredients you’re probably eating on a regular basis, courtesy of Business Insider:

Cochineal beetles – These beetles are crushed up to make a red dye that’s used in everything from yogurt, maraschino cherries, commercial jams and jellies, tomato products, and Starbucks Frappuccinos. I don’t know about you, but I don’t completely understand why pink or red fruit isn’t colorful enough on its own.

L-Cysteine – This is an amino acid used to softened the dough of mass-produced bread. Where does it come from? Human hair. Sometimes duck feathers. About 80% of the L-cysteine on the market comes from human hair (although McDonald’s uses the duck-based variety for its baked goods). Is this technically cannibalism, or just gross?

Castoreum – Jaime Oliver initially drew attention to the use of this “flavor enhancer” in cheap vanilla and strawberry ice cream. It’s a mixture of the anal secretions and urine of beavers – a natural byproduct of the beaver pelt industry, used as a natural flavoring agent and a fragrance in cosmetics. The good news (as such) is that the FDA recognizes castoreum as “safe.” I guess there’s that.

Isinglass – That’s a fancy way of saying “dried fish bladder.” It’s used to give beers that distinctive golden glow by binding with the yeast and forming a sediment at the bottom of the cask, which is then (mostly) removed from the final product. There’s no actual need to use it, because the yeast will separate out from the beer on its own within a few days, but mixing in liquefied swim bladder is quicker. Yummy.

Gelatin – Is it really news that gelatin is made from boiled animal connective tissue? Well, in case you weren’t aware, Jello is definitely, definitely not vegetarian. There are vegetable-based gelatins on the market if you find the idea of boiled bone or skin powder a little too nauseating.

Lanolin – This is a natural oil found in sheep’s wool and it’s normally used for lotions, shampoos, sunscreen, and other cosmetics to leave your skin and hair silky and smooth. It doesn’t actually hurt the sheep, which is being sheared for the wool anyway, as long as you don’t mind smearing yourself with lamb-grease. But even if you were aware of its use in cosmetics, you probably didn’t know that it’s also used to soften chewing gum.

Sawdust – That bag of shredded cheese you were going to sprinkle on your pasta? It probably uses “cellulose” to prevent clumping. That’s another way of saying your cheese is coated in a fine layer of powdered wood pulp. It’s also used in meat products, ice cream, and more. At least it’s one way to get your daily intake of fiber.

Sodium bisulfite – A chemical used as a toilet bowl cleaner, it’s also used to bleach discoloration from potato chips and extend their shelf life. Somehow, this isn’t particularly reassuring.
And much, much more. There’s so many weird chemical and animal-derived ingredients in processed food that I can’t possibly cover them all in just one blog post. For example, Wendy’s chili gets its distinctive texture from a helping of added sand. And did you know that commercial orange juice isn’t actually flavored with real oranges?

These ingredients would make anyone queasy – but many of them are bad news for anyone trying to follow a vegan or vegetarian diet. And if you suffer from food allergies? Well, if they’re not awful, maybe sometimes you can take a chance on a product listing “natural flavors.” And if they’re deadly, then I guess you’re stuck erring on the side of caution and only eating foods you can prepare yourself.

Actually, even if you don’t have any special dietary needs, that’s probably a good idea. Your standards for the amount of bugs in your meal are probably a lot higher than the FDA’s. Do Care2 readers know of any other disgusting food additives that should be added to the list?”

Are You at Risk?

Good Health Depends on Working “plumbing”, and that Depends on a Healthy Digestive System!

Your digestive and bowel health are so important.

Your digestive system- you digestive and bowel health-is responsible of delivering critically important vitamins and nutrition to your system. Dr. Bernard Jensen States, “80% of all diseases start in colon. It’s crystal clear that poor bowel management lies at the root of most people’s health problems.” Fortunately, once you fix your digestive problems, almost everything else can get better.”

Do You Suffer from Any of These Nagging Symptoms?

Abdominal Discomfort

Bad breath

Body Odor

Bloating

Constipation

Occasional Diarrhea

Dull Skin and Hair Tone

Flatulence

Irritable Bowel

Indigestion

Protruding Belly

Unexplained Fatigue

Unexplained weight Gain

If you do, are you making your symptoms worse by taking antiacids, drugs, laxatives….?

You’re about to discover how popular laxative, drugs and antacids ‘rot away’ your digestive tract causing pain!

Your system comes to rely on antacids and “forget” how to operate normally:

1- They suppress pepsin, a stomach acid vital to digest protein

2- Many of the products contain ALUMINUM, a toxic heavy metal that’s been potentially linked to Alzheimer’s

3- Some contain calcium carbonate. Excessive use of this can lead to kidney stones and constipation

4-“Antiacids will sometimes cause your stomach to produce more acid-a condition called acid rebound, which worsens your gastrointestinal problem” – Dr. Ronald Hoffman

Some scientists have linked non-steroidal, anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) such as Naproxen and Ibuprofen to overgrowth yeast problem. Below, I share some important quotes to keep risk of painful horror away:

“Long-term use of antacids can result in side-effects, including diarrhea”– The National Institute of Health, Federal Government
“Prilosec actually worsen your problem because they reduce vital stomach acid used to digest your food”– Dr. Mercola
“Arthritis drug users who take antiacids may risk bleeding”- The Associated Press and The Washington Post Health
“People who have been taking acid-suppressing drugs were 400% more likely to get pneumonia than people who hadn’t taken the drugs…”– U.S. News & World Report, international magazine. The results of an antiacids study of 500,000 people involving 149 doctors revealed the above little- know conclusion

Is It Lurking In Your Kitchen Cabinet

Are you addicted to artificial sweeteners, if so, what could be the harm effect onto your body?

The three primary artificial sweeteners currently in use are saccharin (Seet’N Low), aspartame (Equal, NutraSweet), and sucralose (Splenda). Advocates argue that the benefits provided outweigh the potential negative health effects. In fact, Aspartame increases appetite as well as body weight. It’s also known as a cancer-causing compound in rats. It’s composed of aspartic acid, phenylalanine, and methanol. It was approved for food use by the FDA in 1981. The brand names of Aspartame are: NutraSweet, along with Equal, Spoonful, Indulge, Equal-Measure, etc…

Aspartame kills brain neurons. Russell L. Blaylock, professor of neurosurgery at the University of Mississippi’s Medical Center, explains in his book Excito-toxins “The Taste That Kills” that though aspartame and glutamate (in the chemically related substance MSG) is a neurotransmitter normally found in the brain and spinal cord. When aspartame reaches certain levels it causes the death of brain neurons. The risk to infants, children, and pregnant women are higher because the blood/brain barrier, which normally protects the brain, is not fully developed until adulthood.

Dr. Blaylock and numerous other experts believe that long-term exposure to excito-toxins may play a part in diseases such as: Brain lesions and tumors, Early-onset Alzheimer’s Disease, Epilepsy, Hearing problems, Lupus, Memory loss, Multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s Disease.

Products contain Aspartame- Black list Aspartame

Beware of food products containing these words:

“Lite”, “Diet”, “Low-calorie”, “No calorie”

Among these are: Diet iced teas, Diet soft drinks, Crystal Light, Yogurt lite, Diet Jell-O, Some cereals, and Some children’s vitamins.

Health problems initially reported with Aspartame consumption

Change in vision
sleep problems/insomnia
slurred speech
Memory loss
Brain tumors
Comas
Poor equilibrium
Change in heart rate – heart palpitations
Fatigue and weakness
Joint pain
Neurological/behavioral symptoms (67 percent), including headaches, dizziness, and mood changes such as depression and anxiety, seizure and convulsion -uncontrollable shaking
Gastrointestinal symptoms (24 percent) including nausea and vomiting, abdominal cramps/pain and diarrhea
Allergic type and/or dermatologic symptoms (15 percent) including hives and rash
Alterations in menstrual patterns (6 percent)
Migraine headaches are by far the most frequently reported reaction

Today, there are some 10,000 documented reports of adverse reactions to aspartame, including death. But since it is estimated only about one percent of people who experience a reaction report it, it is safe to assume at least a million people have had a reaction to this chemical.

Do You Also Need This?

We all are familiar with spring cleaning. After winter season, we clean in and around our houses-get debris out from our yard, fix any damage caused by winter storms, eliminate weeds getting the soil ready to grow beautiful flowers or grow produce…

This should not be any different to our body. How long can you stay without taking a shower? It varies from one individual to another, but of course not longer than a week or maximum two.

Have you thought of your inner body at all? Does it really need to be cleaned- I should say cleansed- and why?

In previous posts, you’ve heard me talking about your exposure to toxins and chemicals 24/7. For example, every time you inhale a perfume, apply hand moisturizer, shampooing your hair, filling your car with gas, eating conventional produce -sprayed with pesticides or herbisides-, using your cell, preheating your food in the microwave… your body absorbs all the available chemicals in these products and store them as body fat cells. Until your body reaches one point where it can’t handle a normal detox process anymore, then, a wide range of symptoms and conditions start to take place:

Stuffy head
Fatigue or difficulty sleeping
Digestion and other gastrointestinal problems
Food cravings and weight gain
Reduced mental clarity
Low libido
and more…

So how do you determine your toxic load?

A Magic Pill

The human body is a self-healing mechanism. It has the ability to healing, repairing, and reconstructing itself, but only when you provide what it needs, clean air, purified water, and real food. Any symptom in the body would mean that something is not functioning well, a body system or an organ. Symptoms are the body language saying that your body chemistry is out of balance. This might be caused by improper diet, lifestyle, stress, inadequate digestion, liver congestion…

Today’s illnesses list has no end including migraine. This is because the body processes become so unbalanced that the standard potency of food is insufficient, lacks the required nutrients and minerals. Not only this, bad food socks the life out of your body; it needs all kind of nutrients from your body to get metabolize, but they give none in return…

We consume industrialized foods, processed foods, genetically engineered foods, and foods grown on depleted soil that has greatly reduced the availability of proper foods need to meet the body’s requirements. The result is the great need of consuming whole food concentrates over an adequate amount of time that is often necessary to correct the resulting deficiencies, promote healing, and return the body to a stage of homeostasis.

“Disease is not the presence of something evil but rather the lack of the presence of something essential” –Jensen, Bernard, D.C., Ph.D., and Mark Anderson, Empty Harvest: Understanding the Link Between Our Food, Our Immunity, and Our Planet

Two present day examples of commercially-produced foods that lack the nutrients found in their organic counterparts include the tomato and spinach: 1) One study revealed that commercially-produced tomatoes contain 1 mg of iron and 0-5mg of vitamin C, while organically-grown tomatoes have 1,938 mg of iron and 125-250 mg of vitamin C. 2) Commercially produced spinach contains 49 mg of iron; its organic equivalent contains 1, 584mg.

There might be a ‘magic pill’ to suppress a symptom that leads to side effects- new symptoms- keeping you running into a vicious cycle. But there’s a fact to overcome health symptoms/illnesses:

1- Bad out

2- Good in

3-Give me (the body) some time

Get your body chemistry or biological imbalance back and your body will have the ability to repair and heal itself overcoming any health problem including migraine.

Is Your Migraine Caused by EMF

Do you know that being electromagnetic field (EMF) sensitive can cause you a migraine without you knowing it? One of the symptoms is irritability.

As human we have no protection from the effect of the force of EMF like telecommunication, transmission lines, appliances, microwave, radar, satellite, TV, radio transmissions, cell phones…Long-term exposure to EMF waves causes biological effects. Some people experience similar symptoms others experience increasing in serum triglycerides, cancer cell growth, decrease production of dopamine, serotonin, and nor-epinephrine (neurotransmitters) in the brain; alterations in biological cycles; and increase chronic stress responses that lead to immune system deficiencies.

Although we have a very adaptable biological system when faced with overwhelming insults, our normal mechanisms begin to fail. These effects are magnified in people who already have impaired immune, endocrine, or nervous systems.

Here are 7 simple safety measures you can take to protect against low-frequency waves. Some of them are adapted from “Allergy Relief & Prevention” book by Frances Taylor MA, Jacqueline Krohn MD, Erla Mae Larson RN

1. During the day practice deep breathing exercise to stimulate the nervous system.

2. After a long period of time being exposed to EMF like working on your computer, using frequently a cell, watching T.V, … take a shower. Why? According to the doctor’s complete guide to treatment and self-care above, if you’re electrically sensitive, you’ll find that being near moving water is helpful because of the positive ion level of the air is high. You also, can find some relief if you can be nears a fountain, stream, lake, or ocean, since this is not possible for most people, an alternative would be to stand in a running shower. Even running water over our lower arms and hands a number of times each day can provide relief.

3. Go barefoot as much as possible.

4. When traveling by automobile, try to get out of the car and walk around every half-hour to have ground contact.

5. Keep your bedroom electrical appliances free. This will lower electrical exposure for at least eight hrs. of the day.

6. Use a screening shield to reduce the waves that emanate from your computer screen or use Smart Filter in your office.

7. Nutritionally, a couple of products are recommended to assist your body in strengthen the nervous system, keep it in balance- homeostasis, and to reduce and suppress EMF sensitivity symptoms down like stress out, anger, despair, intolerance to circumstances…

Remember, health always begins inside.

If you’re interested to learn more about how you can strenghten your body immune against EMF, I’ll be happy to assist you here.

What is Holistic

What, Who, How, and Why

What’s holistic?

Holistic is a behavior of balancing and integrating the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects in life, as well as practicing green living.

Who are holistic people?

Holistic people strive continually to educate themselves and families about holistic health and green living to maintain and preserve overall health, environmental health and planet.

How they live holistically?

– They live based on the interconnection of all things in their lives and around them,

– They get involved making choices that embrace this interconnection, working with nature that has already done all the work for us-humanity-and use innate sense and knowledge to restore balance,

– They understand the connection and the outcome of their choices, i.e., how the food they eat and products they buy can affect them and the environment that may promote health or disease, and

– They believe in making uninformed and uneducated decisions put their body out of balance, physically, emotionally and spiritually. In other word they become sick.

Why they chose holistic life?

They chose to live holistically because they’re conscious of their choices that are the only true way to protect and insure their overall health, offspring and the planet.

Holistic is an old-new healthy way of practicing living just as God created and designed the whole universe (humans, animals, and plants) to thrive and prosper in a perfect balance. For instant, our grand-parents used to live holistically: Breathing pure air, drinking clean purified ground water and eating raw, organic, wholesome foods. Comparing to nowadays lifestyle, the air is polluted, drinking water is contaminated, and foods is industrialized and artificial. This is the clue secret why population growing sick and diseased…

Human race lost homeostasis (biological balance). How we lost homeostasis? Dr. William J. Yarwood quote described it precisely:

“In order to understand how we lost homeostasis you must understand your relationship with your environment. When our Creator designed our bodies he designed us to live in harmony with our environment. When we change our environment we are moving against the wisdom of our Creator. That will always result in degeneration. Imagine the Garden of Eden compared to today’s environment, and you well get a quick idea of how far astray our civilization has wandered from its original design. The closer you move to that design, the healthier you become. The farther away you move from that design, the sicker you become. When you compare the foods, water and air in the Garden of Eden to today’s foods, water and air, you will see a tremendous difference. That difference lies in the information. What you see as food, water and air, your body sees as information. When you put incorrect information in, your body becomes dysfunctional.”

It’s still possible to live holistically and green by trying to go back to the basics of human health diet consuming organic, raw, and real wholefsome foods and by protecting the environment by eliminating the use of chemicals.Unfortunately, as responsible citizens we are left to educate and protect ourselves from the worlds’ greatest health threats-chemically contaminated foods, water, soil and air. Once again, this can be done by:

– Eating organic, fresh, local and seasonal foods that protect our health, the health of the planet, and all its inhabitants for organic farming supports natural ecosystems by liming the input of toxic and persistent chemicals into the air, soil and water,

– Minimizing our impact and detoxing our environment, reducing energy use and buying less stuffs, and

– Teaching the value of respect for the earth and all its creatures for our children.

That’s how living holistically can really save natural life!

Let me answer any question you may have here...
