5 Reasons Why You Need To Detoxify Your Body 

With the process of everyday life, the body undergoes a lot of wear and tear both inside and outside. So it is important to ensure that the body is well taken care of in order to compensate for this demand.

1. Promote Health - Just like a car engine which needs to be serviced and have its oil removed and changed, the body also has to be detoxified in order for it to function properly and to promote general health and well being. 


2. Food - During the course of our lives we ingest a variety of foods, some of which are healthy and some of which are not so healthy. The fact is that not all this food is successfully absorbed by the body as nutrients and not all of it is discharged out of the body as waste products, there are always remnants and these remnants become toxins that are left in the bowel and colon of the body. Over a long period of time, this can have some adverse effects on the body if these toxins are not removed. 


3. Lifestyle - Detoxifying the body becomes even more important if you indulge in things such as cigarettes, junk food, coffee and alcoholic beverages. These things make it even more difficult for the natural detoxifying mechanism of the body to work and it makes it even more important for you to take steps to rid yourself of the toxins that are being accumulated in your body. 


4. pH Balance - A lot of the foods most people eat on a daily basis have a very high acidic content. This can have a negative effect on the body if this acidity is allowed to accumulate in the body without being removed at some point. It is necessary for the body's alkaline PH balance to be restored in order to aid the renewal and repair of cells and to promote general well being and a short detox program can do this for you. It is not only important to detoxify the body, it is necessary to do so as regularly as possible in order to maximize the benefits that are obtained from doing so. 


5. Whole Body Approach - Purifying and keeping your body clean through detoxification is the best way to avoid colon diseases, as well as maintaining a healthy bloodstream and heart. The important thing to remember about toxins is the fact that they are absorbed into the bloodstream and carried to other parts of the body and can lead to a variety of health issues because the body's immunity against disease is weakened by the presence of toxins and waste. So, a detox program is highly essential in order to aid the body's ability to fight off disease.

10 Disappointing Facts About Healthful Foods

Ten Disappointing Facts About Healthful Foods You Probably Didn’t Know About! #8 Surprised Me A Lot!

Repost from Butterbin

• 1

1. Low-Fat Yogurt

Yes, the calories are removed. But, do you ever wonder why they still taste sweet and good? Well, the so called healthful low-fat yogurt is packed with artificial sweeteners to make up for all the calories removed.

2. Vitamin Water

Don’t let the word VITAMIN fool you! It’s packed with artificial sweeteners too! Drinking COKE and VITAMIN Water is almost the same thing, except it’s water.

3. Reduced-Fat Peanut Butter

You better get a regular peanut butter than those advertised reduced-fat peanut butter. Why? “Reduced-fat” peanut butter has more carbs, sodium, and sugars.

4. Veggie Burgers

Do you think having the word VEGGIE at your favorite burgers makes it healthful enough? Think again! MOst veggie burgers are packed with textured vegetable protein, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, five different kinds of corn products, and two different kinds of MSG. Talk about over consumption of carbs and sodium in one eating.

5. Light Salad Dressing

If you want a healthful salad, go with the regular salad dressing. The light salad dressing do certainly has fewer calories but the health benefits of it was reduced as well. Think about it.

6. Diet Soda

You might want to get the original soda upon hearing this. Diet soda is packed with more artificial sweeteners. It fools your body and make you crave for more sugar and sweets.

7. Fruit Muffins

Those delicious and often called healthful (because of the fruits) muffins are not really that healthful. Know why? It contains almost the same ingredients with cupcake which is packed with large amount of calories and fat.

8. Veggie Chips

Veggie chips are my favorite. Good tasting and yes, I do believe it’s healthful too. But wait, since the veggie is turned into chips, it means it already undergone some sort of procedure, right? That procedure takes out the good thing that you can get from eating veggies and the saddest part, this veggie chips also contain almost the same number of calories as regular chips.

9. Breakfast Cereals

Not all cereals are made equal. According to some calorie count, there are 19 grams of sugar in one cup of Raisin Bran.

10. Bottled Green Tea

The 61 grams of sugar in a bottle says it all. Enough said!

Diet soda, aspartame linked to premature deaths in women 

Sunday, March 30, 2014 by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger Editor of NaturalNews.com (See  all articles...) Tags: diet soda, aspartame, death risk

Repost: (NaturalNews) A decade-long study of 60,000 women has confirmed that drinking diet soda sweetened with aspartame is linked with a 30 percent increase in heart attack risk and a 50 percent increase in death risk. 

The findings, presented at the American College of Cardiology(1), have already been partially swept under the rug with the false explanation that diet drinks don't necessarily cause these risks but are instead merely correlated with them. "Women who toss back too many diet sodas may be trying to make up for unhealthy habits," claims an article on CNBC,(2) while citing no evidence whatsoever to support the claim. Keep in mind that any time a synthetic vitamin is correlated with increased mortality, the entire scientific community immediately describes those synthetic vitamins as "causing" death. Correlation is causation only when industry-funded scientists say it is. 

Aspartame is a neurotoxin 

What scientists refuse to explore -- even when the data clearly show a strong death risk association -- is that aspartame is a neurotoxin. The reason why women who drink diet soda have a 50 percent increased death risk is, of course, far more likely to be caused by what's in the diet soda rather than some lifestyle choice. 

Aspartame, after all, is made from the feces of genetically engineered bacteria. It is not a natural sugar but rather a chemical compound created in an industrial lab. Used in diet sodas, it breaks down into a number of chemical compounds including formaldehyde and methanol. During digestion, the formaldehyde is oxidized into formic acid, a chemical known to cause toxicity in mammalian biology. Formic acid is also secreted by ants as part of their "chemical weapons" arsenal. 

Aspartame linked to long list of neurological problems 

Aspartame denialists try to pretend that all this formaldehyde, methanol and formic acid has no effect on human health. Their argument is identical to that of GMO denialists: "GMOs are harmless!" It's even the same argument as mercury denialists: "Mercury is harmless!" 

Why, then, is aspartame so frequently linked to blurred vision, headaches and neurological problems when repeatedly consumed in the form of diet drinks? In fact, there are over 90 side effects linked to aspartame consumption, including headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, rashes, depression, irritability, insomnia, hearing loss, vision problems, loss of taste vertigo and memory loss. 

Soda companies and misinformed doctors all try to pretend none of these side effects are real -- that people are all imagining headaches, blurred vision, numbness, insomnia and so on. That's how unethical the soda industry is: they poison their own customers with a neurotoxic chemical, then call them delusional when they suffer neurological side effects. 

If you drink diet soda, you are murdering yourself 

The bottom line in all this? If you drink diet soda, you are essentially murdering yourself. Call it "slow suicide." 

There are a thousand beverages healthier than diet sodas: tea, fruit juice, mineral water, raw almond milk... even non-diet sodas are better for you than diet sodas! (And diet sodas have been conclusively proven to have no effect whatsoever on weight loss. So drinking them is a useless diet gesture to begin with.) 

If for some reason you are still drinking diet soda, find a healthier beverage and stop poisoning yourself to death. 

From the American College of Cardiology website:

[A] study led by Ankur Vyas, MD, of the University of Iowa found that postmenopausal women who consumed two or more diet drinks a day were 30 percent more likely to experience a cardiovascular event and 50 percent more likely to die from related cardiovascular disease than women who never, or only rarely, consumed diet drinks. The analysis of 59,614 participants in the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study, who had an average age of 62.8 and no history of cardiovascular disease, saw that after an average follow-up of 8.7 years, the primary cardiovascular outcome occurred in 8.5 percent of the women consuming two or more diet drinks per day compared to 6.9 percent in the five-to-seven drinks per week group; 6.8 percent in the one-to-four drinks per week group; and 7.2 percent in the zero-to-three per month group. The difference persisted when researchers adjusted for other cardiovascular risk factors and co-morbidities. The association between diet drinks and cardiovascular disease warrants further study to define the relationship, Vyas said.

5 Fruits and Veggies You've Been Eating Wrong

5 Fruits and Veggies You've Been Eating Wrong
Prepare to have your mind blown.

Repost from Women's Health Mag | PUBLISHED: MARCH 27, 2014  |  BY ROBIN HILMANTEL


If you're anything like us, you would eat a lot more beets, pomegranates, and kiwis if you could just figure out an easy way to prep them. Luckily, some of our favorite food blogs have come up with pretty ingenious ways to simplify the process. Take a look, then try these tricks for yourself:

Mandarin Oranges 

"I love how peeling an orange gives me sticky hands," said no one, ever. Which is why we're obsessed with this mess-free method from JewelPie. Just use a paring knife to slice off either end, cut a slit in the orange peel, and roll the whole thing out in a strip. We can't say for sure if this method works with other varieties of oranges, but you can bet we're going to try it.

Beets 

Raise your hand if you know how to cook beets. Yup, thought so. Well, get this: You don't have to cook them at all. You can eat beets raw, just like carrots, as we learned after reading this post from TheKitchn. Simply peel the beets (it helps to cut off both ends first), and thinly slice them using a knife or a mandolin. You can also season them if you want to add some extra flavor.

Pomegranates 

If you've ever cut a pomegranate in half, then you know that it gets the job done—but there are some casualties along the way (R.I.P., cute T-shirt that got stained with pomegranate juice). Instead, use this technique recommended by Wit & Whistle: Cut a small cone out of the top of the fruit with a paring knife (so you're removing the piece sticking out). Then slice a sliver off of the opposite end, lightly score each of the ridges that run from the top of the fruit to the bottom, and pull the whole thing apart. The seeds will come out easily with no mess.

Kiwis 

Here's another brilliant tip from the geniuses over at TheKitchn: To make kiwis portable, just cut them in half and then eat the insides with a spoon. So smart! (And another fun thing to do with kiwis if you're willing to do some advanced planning is freeze them and then eat them as push-pops.) 

Avocados 

Did you know that half of an avocado is only about 160 calories?  So while we're on the subject of produce you can eat with a spoon, it's actually kind of the perfect afternoon snack to scoop right out of the shell, like Lukas Volger's Veggie Madness suggests. To switch it up, try sprinkling the avocado with salt and pepper or drizzling a bit of soy sauce on top first.
