Sea Buckthorn: Ancient Healer and Modern Superfood
An ancient Tibetan healing secret is finally being discovered 
in the West. For thousands of years Tibetans used a fruit that grows wild in the Himalayan Mountains as food and medicine to treat many serious health conditions ranging from breathing disorders to skin problems. Now science is proving that sea buckthorn is potent natural medicine.
Like many superfoods, sea buckthorn contains numerous powerful antioxidants that help the body deal with free radical damage (now linked to almost every illness and aging). But sea buckthorn doesn’t stop there, it is also an excellent source of i…
7 Ways to Lick Your Sugar Cravings for Good
Do you want your ice cream, cake, and your candy too? 
Now you can lick those sugar cravings for good with natural foods, nutrients, and food timing tricks. Here are 7 ways to send your sweet tooth packing:
Saffron: Research shows that an extract of the spice saffron (Crocus sativus) gets to the root of sweet cravings and helps eliminate them. It appears to work by regulating brain pathways in what is now referred to as the “Feed-Feedback Cycle.” In one study published in Nutrition Research researchers found that between-meal snacking (used as a measure of cravings) was reduced b…
15 Easy Ways to Detoxify Your Body Today
Every now and then I read or hear someone say that the body 
doesn’t need to detoxify. This is an appalling statement since the body cannot live without effective and efficient detoxification, which needs to occur in the lungs, liver, skin, intestines, kidneys, lymphatic system, and other areas of the body every minute of every day.
Our bodies are surprisingly good at detoxification but these processes can easily become overwhelmed due to the volume of toxins to which we’re exposed from our air, water, food, pharmaceutical and over-the-counter drugs, and many other sources.
These de…
Death by Coca-Cola
A New Zealand woman, Natasha Harris recently died due to 
excessive Coca-Cola consumption (at least in part). The New Zealand coroner ruled that the woman's death was partially attributed to the 10 litres of Coca-cola she drank daily. The coroner also indicated that Coca-Cola could not be held liable for her death.
Ms. Harris had previously lost all of her teeth due to erosion. One of her children was born without tooth enamel. According to news reports, the coroner further stated in the report that Ms. Harris died due to metabolic imbalances arising from cardiac arrhythmia due to Coca…
11 Ways to Boost Your Lymphatic System for Great Health
The lymphatic system, or lymph system as it is also 
called, is a system made up of glands, lymph nodes, the spleen, thymus gland, and tonsils. It bathes our body’s cells and carries the body’s cellular sewage away from the tissues to the blood, where it can be filtered by two of the body’s main detoxification organs: the liver and kidneys. This sewage is made up of the byproducts of our bodily processes, over-the-counter and prescription drugs, illicit drugs, cigarette toxins, other airborne pollutants, food additives, pesticides, and other toxins.

8 Surprising Reasons to LOVE Bacteria
Just over a year ago I did an article on 20 Reasons to Love Bacteria. Exciting new research is showing that there are even 
more reasons to love probiotics and to add them to your health regime. Here are 8 more reasons to love probiotic bacteria:
Urinary Tract Infections
New research in the Archives of Internal Medicine shows that two probiotics are almost as effective as antibiotics at eliminating urinary tract infections from the body. The probiotics Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri taken twice daily on an empty stomach for a year caused a 51.4% drop in harmful E. col…
9 Easy Ways to Boost Your Energy
Boosting your energy doesn’t have to cost a lot or feel like 
work. Just by learning a few simple tricks you can have a great impact on your energy for the rest of your life.
1. Start the day out with the juice of one lemon squeezed into pure water. Not only do lemons contain over 20 anti-cancer compounds, they help to quickly restore your body’s pH. While lemons are acidic, when the juice of freshly squeezed lemon juice in water is metabolized, it alkalizes your body to help reduce pain or headaches, improve your energy levels, and optimize your body’s natural enzyme processes.

10 Detox Tricks for Healthy Weight Loss
Did the holiday season leave you feeling stressed-out and 
exhausted? Did you have your cakes and eat them too? And drinks, cookies and turkey dinner too? Here are 10 detox tricks that can help you start the New Year right and restore your waistline.
- Drink at least 8-10 cups of pure water throughout the day to prevent dehydration.

It helps to lessen the surface tension of the water, there…
EVICT MONSANTO!
It’s time to follow the lead of Hawaiians who are working 
to evict Monsanto from their land…and for good reason. Monsanto and other corporations have been leasing land from schools for experimentation with genetically-modified seed and pesticides. The organization Hawaii GMO Justice has initiated a campaign to tell Kamehameha schools--one of the landowners that is leasing land to Monsanto—to evict Monsanto. They are selling bumper stickers and hats to raise money to tackle this important issue in Hawaii. The Hawaii GMO Justice Coalition shared this compelling video: http://…
Why 40 is the Best Year of My Life
Next to marrying my husband, turning 40 was the best thing I ever did. 
Unlike many women I know, I am not shy to share that eight months ago I arrived at what I consider a huge milestone in my life.
Maybe I cherish this age because I wasn’t always sure I would get this far in life. You see by the time I was 16 I was diagnosed with a rare genetic disease and informed I could not live without medication, which I proceeded to eliminate from my life by the time I was 22, just after narrowly escaping death in a serious car accident. I didn’t escape injury (I suffered a head injury, spinal co…
