Are You Looking After Your Liver?26 October 2009 The liver is the largest internal organ and is responsible for some 500 bodily functions. The liver only weighs about 2kg, but it processes just under two litres of blood every minute! It processes almost everything we ingest, breathe, or absorb through the skin. It plays an important role in digestion and metabolism, regulating the production, storage, and release of sugar, fats, and cholesterol. The liver produces a variety of important proteins, including enzymes, hormones, blood proteins, clotting factors, and immune factors. Finally, the liver plays a role in detoxification. It filters infectious organisms, alcohol, heavy metals, drugs, and other poisons from the blood, and also processes and eliminates toxic byproducts of normal metabolism. |

Homemade Cleaning Using Essential Oils21 August 2009 Using Essential Oils to clean around your home.
Cleaning your house does not have to be hazardous. Throw away those nasty chemicals and start healthy cleaning with Essential Oils! Refresh your house and your senses!
Essential Oils can be used to create many effective non-toxic ( and wonderfully fragrant) cleansers and disinfectants. Just imagine your kitchen pleasing with the smell of lemon, grapefruit, cinnamon or rosemary. Your living room inviting with fragrant cushions of peppermint – a natural insect repellent.
Choose rose, ylang ylang, jasmine, geranium and lavender for a calming and romantic environment in the bedroom. Scent your office with basil, rosemary and lavender for concentration and don’t forget to scent the pet pillow with flea deterring lavender and peppermint.
Some essential oils can be an irritant to the skin so wear gloves and use a natural sponge because oils can react with plastic.
Label all your ingredients and keep them out of reach of children. While some of these all natural cleaners are not poisonous, some can be harmful or even fatal if swallowed by children or pets.
Choose oils that are pure, cheap oils give cheap results. Be smart! Buy Pure!

Probiotics - Friendly Bacteria for Intestinal Health29 June 2009 Medicines from Nature Flora Max Pro - 30VegCaps Medicines from Nature Flora Max Pro - 60VegCaps Medicines from Nature Flora Max Pro - 120VegCaps In this life we eat to survive, sustain our energy, grow and reproduce. Our food is partially digested in the alimentary canal, mouth, stomach and finally in the intestine, where the partially digested food is ultimately metabolized by millions and millions of micro-organisms working simultaneously and synergistically. It has been said that there are more bacteria in and on one person at one time than there are people on this earth. Improving our digestion is the foundation to good health. Energy levels improve, our immune system is strengthened, our complexion becomes clearer, and our skin feels softer. A lack of essential nutrients, the wrong diet and a sedentary lifestyle often results in poor digestion, a lack of absorption, abnormal gut reactions including bloating and inflammation, but infections and poor waste disposal. This then has a knock on effect throughout all our body systems. |
