3 Myths About Soda Water

"In an effort to curb soda consumption, many people have traded in their high-fructose corn syrup laden colas for carbonated water, whether it be flavored with natural flavors or artificial flavors (it’s best to go for the naturally flavored beverages) or left plain. This is terrific news because you can still slurp the fizziness you crave, without the harsh and unhealthy additives from the high-calorie alternative..."

10 Reasons To Slow Down on Sunscreen

"One of the most popular scenes at the beach, other than people playing volleyball and tossing the Frisbee, is people slathering on sunscreen.

Forget The Wrinkles: How To Naturally Maintain a Glowing, Youthful Skin

"She appeared old, had lined eyelids, sagging cheeks and dried lips. Her mouth corners had turned downwards; her skin was dull, dry, and full of fine lines and noticeable wrinkles. I assumed she was in her late 40s. “Meet my younger sister, Rachel.” My girlfriend’s friend, Rebecca, introduced me to her sister. “She is 5 years younger than me,” Rebecca continued. Rebecca was in her early 30s and so, mathematically, her sister was in her late 20s. I couldn’t believe my ears, so I decided to get a quick reality check, was I dreaming..."

Warning: May Forever Ruin Your Favorite Salads

"Salads tend to get a reputation for being “diet”, “rabbit” or “boring” food. When people try to eat “healthier”, they generally order salads because they think they’re making a smart choice.

Unfortunately a bulk of the salads offered at restaurants, be it a fast food joint or a pricy bistro, are about as high in calories, if not higher in calories, than entrees such as hamburgers or heavy pasta dishes. Have you been a victim of any of these supposedly “healthy” sounding salads?.."

Candida: Symptoms

"When you think of yeast, you most likely think of fluffy loaves of bread and delicious pastries. But there is another type of yeast that is hardly as delightful. Candida albicans, or simply Candida is a microorganism in the category of yeast, fungi and mold. While it’s relatively normal to live with small amounts of this yeast in our digestive systems, in some circumstances it can invade into deeper tissues and organs where it doesn’t belong. When the fungus gets that deep, it entrenches itself and produces chemicals that affect cell function causing symptoms that are uncomfortable as well as problems that can potentially become very serious...

Coffee & Your Health - P1: Coffee & Diabetes

Waking up in the morning can be quite brutal. The last thing you want to do is roll out of your soft, cozy sheets and face the busy day ahead. Luckily, there is one drink the most everyone can count on to slap him or her out of their sleepy state, coffee.

Coffee has been through the grinder when it comes to whether or not the drink is actually healthy but it is safe to say that coffee is the number once source of antioxidants in American’s diets. This may come as a shock to some considering coffee does not get a lot of attention, but when you think about it, there are coffee shops on every corner of every street and on some mornings (Mondays?) there are lines generating outside the doors!

Preventing Bone Loss

We all may believe we’re invincible, but this is obviously not true, especially for those who may be suffering from an illness we are unaware of. As we get older our bone mineral density (BMD) decreases, or in other words, our bone’s strength grows weaker. The reason why bones thin as we age is because the body reabsorbs existing bone cells faster than new bone is made. When this happens, the bones lose minerals, mass, and structure, making them weaker and increasing their risk of breaking. While all people begin to lose bone mass around age 30, some may start losing bone mass sooner, while other may lose it later. The time as which your bones start to thin depend heavily on your diet as well as genetics.

Nasunin: The Brain Food

When you think of purple produce, what comes to mind?

Red cabbage is obviously red and blueberries are obviously blue even though they both look purple. There is one piece of produce that you might be thinking of, yet you cannot remember what it’s called. Does eggplant ring a bell? How about aubergine? This teardrop (well most of the time) looking “vegetable” (it’s actually a fruit, thanks to the fact that it contains seeds) has a shiny, almost waxy purple (depending on the variety) exterior that can be rather off-putting, but don’t let its façade scare you away. The second you slice into this meaty nightshade fruit, you will be greeted by white flesh teaming with health benefits...

Calcium for the Lactose Intolerant

Milk and other dairy products are constantly associated with building strong bones. Advertisements in magazines, newspapers and on television have warped our minds into thinking milk is a wonder drink. While milk does have calcium, the mineral known for keeping our bones strong, maintaining acid/alkaline balance in our bodies, controlling our muscle and nerve function and boosting our metabolisms, it is most certainly not the only, or even best, source of the important mineral.  Read On..

You are What You Eat: Foods That Will Keep You Beautiful

It may be hard to believe, but we truly are what we eat. Read on..

Thank you Jason for the photos and kind words!

"I've never been one to do 'testimonials' but felt compelled to send you guys pictures and a HUGE thank you! I've had horrible allergies and fatigue in the mornings since I can remember - that is, until a month ago, when I started using your detox pads. I wish I'd taken a photo of my first ones, but at the time I had no idea that they would even work. I took these photos this morning, decongested, energetic, and happy! My pads are now coming out about 1/2 clean (as you can see). I can't thank you enough, hopefully my words will bring you more happy customers! - Jason"

Raw Foods 101

"Eating an extra large meal (think about all those meals you chow down on during the holidays) can result is a distended stomach, gas, intestinal problems and discomfort. In order for your body to break down all the food you ingest efficiently and effectively, your body needs an ample supply of digestive enzymes. Some of your body’s organs, including the pancreas, stomach and salivary glands, do make some of these enzymes, however as we age, our digestive system becomes less efficient, thus we produce less of these very important enzymes."

Pine Bark Extract

"Pine bark extract (sold as pycnogenol), made from the maritime pine tree, which is native to the western Mediterranean, is rich in chemicals called proanthocyanidins. Proanthocyanidins have a strong antioxidant activity and play a role in the stabilization of collagen and maintenance of elastin in connective tissue. Antioxidants are compounds that block the action of free radicals, which are activated oxygen molecules that can damage cells. Because of this researchers are beginning to believe that pine bark extract has the power to protect against an array of ailments ranging from arthritis, to cancer and heart disease to circulation problems."

How Mercury Affects Health and What To Do About It

From Dr Vinograd's Blog:

Mercury is the most toxic and poisonous non-radioactive, heavy metal substance on the planet,” says Tom McGuire, DDS, author of Tooth Fitness, Your Guide to Healthy Teeth (St. Michael’s Press). Mercury is now number three on the Top 20 list of toxic substances compiled by the US Agency for Toxic Substance and Disease Registry. Only arsenic and lead rank higher.

On average a person’s body contains between 10 to 15 milligrams of mercury. We absorb mercury when we breathe contaminated air, eat contaminated fish, receive vaccines preserved with mercury-based Thimerosal, or are exposed to a variety of pesticides, fungicides and petroleum products.

The Truth About Mercury Poisioning and Other Public Health Issues and The Criminal Elements Behind Our Sickening Society

"Since John Moore almost died from mercury poisoning in 1974, that highly toxic element has haunted the man. He was and is an industrial engineer, at one time working with the Boeing Company.

All of life’s work became an aside once he decided to find out what happened to him. He became a mercury/dental health researcher.

He now assists those who want to learn and perhaps rescue themselves from the planet’s ubiquitous contaminant. He taught classes to dental and health professionals for three years’ often with up to 100 persons per session.

His expertise was acknowledged by author Tom Warren in the book Reversing Chronic Diseases’ along with fellow researcher Gary Tunsky. The illustration of mercury vapor escaping a mercury seat is taken from Warren’s book. Our interview starts with a half question about that near- death experience…”"

Long Lived Icarians!

Ikaria is the name of a Greek island located in the Aegean Sea. This island is approximately ten miles southwest of Samos, the populace is known as Icarians, or Ikarian Greeks. Ethnically speaking, they are Greek with Pelasgian and Carian ancestry. The people of this small island are best known for their life longevity (although statistics are difficult to compile as birth certificates are not the norm).

The data we do have indicates that the people of Ikaria are reaching the age of 90 almost three times as often as Americans. Ikarian men are also four times as likely to reach 90 years old than their American counterparts. Both sexes have been recorded to live at least eight to ten years longer than most Americans.

What is it about the Ikarian lifestyle that has allowed the people to live for so much longer? The first thing to look at is their clean, simple lifestyle.

For example, the Ikarian diet consists of a very low intake of saturated fats from meats and oils. This results in an extremely low risk of heart disease. Their produce is grown without pesticides, their meat without hormones, and processed foods are nearly non-existent.

FUN FACT: On a clear day, you can see notorious party island Mykonos from the shores of Ikaria

Unprocessed (‘raw’) foods appear in nature with the positive enzymes needed for digestion. They also consume a lot of unheated olive oil, which has been proven to reduce bad cholesterol. Everyone on the island drinks goat’s milk, which is very easy on the digestive system (especially in the elderly) and contains serotonin-boosting tryptophan.
