If you have ever experienced headaches, nausea, fatigue, diarrhea, constipation, indigestion, or skin breakouts, you may be experiencing symptoms of a build up of toxins in your body. The fact is toxins are in the environment and there is nothing you can do to completely protect yourself from them. A body cleansing will help your body to get rid of any that have been trapped by the cells in your body, but you ll also want to take as many precautions against them that you can. Unfortunately, we get many of the toxins that get trapped in our body from the air we breathe. The air is filled with pollution from car exhaust, smog, paint fumes, and even cleaning products and perfumes. While we may enjoy the smell of a scented candle, it is contributing to the toxins you are breathing in. While you can certainly control the types of cleaning products and candles you use in your home, you can not control what goes on outside your front...

Consuming sugar temporarily elevates the levels of certain neurotransmitters in our bodies. Do you know what neurotransmitters are. They are feel-good chemicals. Two of the major feel-good chemicals released by eating sugar are: 1. Dopamine, which releases chemicals including endorphins that give us a feeling of pleasure 2. Serotonin, which produces a feeling of well being. We also tend to eat sugary treats for a quick rush of energy to get us through the day. Of course we also enjoy the sweet taste of sugar. Eating sweet treats like a candy bar or a cookie unconsciously brings back simpler more enjoyable days of our childhood. Grabbing a sugary treat is a common stress response for many adults. It s a behavior we have been practicing since we were children. When we had a rough day at school, mom would fix it with a plate of homemade cookies and a glass of milk. Now when we are stressed, we run to the vending machine or grab a...

The Milk Diet is a diet that was promoted by Bernarr Macfadden in the early 1920 s. His belief was that milk was a miracle food and could take the place of all other nourishment. It was touted as a miracle diet that would cure disease and illness, not cause a person to lose weight as is often erroneously believed. The Milk Diet is definitely a fad diet, at least in my mind, because it promotes having only one food or beverage in this case and not having anything else for the duration of the diet which could range from several weeks to several months, even to several years according to the creator of the diet. The length of time the person needed to be on the diet varied according to how sick and diseased the person was. And when I say milk was the only thing consumed during the course of the diet, I seriously mean it was the only thing consumed. Even water was not part of the diet except first thing in the morning. Acidic fruits...
