"A life filled with quality in work, thoughts, companions and activities can strengthen your natural immunity to germs, viruses and negative hereditary influences".

Mercury exposure and toxicity is more common than most people think. To avoid your risk of mercury poisoning limit eating large, predatory fish such as swordfish, tuna, shark, mahi-mahi, King mackerel and tilefish. Ask your dentist about mercury-free fillings if any dental work is needed.

To enhance your body's ability to eliminate mercury increase your intake of fiber, pure water, dark green leafy vegetables, broccoli and Vitamin C.

Massage offers many health benefits. Massage increases circulation, reduces tightness in muscles, stimulates the release of pain relieving endorphins and lowers stress hormone levels.

A therapeutic bath is a great way to unwind. Pour two cups of Epsom salt into a warm bath and soak for ten to fifteen minutes. This will create a magnesium soak that will warm you all over and help to draw out toxins through the skin.

Vitamin D ~ Enjoy the Sunshine!

7/10/2012

0 Comments

Moderate amounts of sunlight are good for your health.
Sunlight converts cholesterol into Vitamin D and helps speed up the elimination of toxins through the skin.

What is vitamin D?
Vitamin D is not one chemical but many. The natural type is produced in the skin from a universally present form of cholesterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol. Sunlight is the key: Its ultraviolet B (UVB) energy converts the precursor to vitamin D3. In contrast, most dietary supplements are manufactured by exposing a plant sterol to ultraviolet energy, thus producing vitamin D2. Because their function is almost identical, D2 and D3 are lumped together under the name vitamin D — but neither will function until the body works its magic (see figure).

10 Seasonal Veggies that Improve Your Mood

7/1/2012

2 Comments

Take a stroll through your local farmers market and score some mood improving veggies. Sprouting up seasonally, these greens are sure to get you grinning from ear to ear.

Avocados

Even though they're technically a fruit, avocados help increase the blood flow to your brain because they contain healthy mono-saturated fats. Slice one up for your salad next time you're feeling a little foggy.

Okra

Veggies rich in calcium, like okra, can positively stimulate the neurotransmitters, dopamine and noradrenaline, to make your more alert and fight off lethargy.

Tomatoes

Rich in heart-rate-controlling potassium, fresh tomatoes also contain mood-boosting vitamin B and calcium

Fennel

More than just an accent to add to fancy salads, fennel is a summer root vegetable that can help stave off irritability and depression. Because it's a complex carbohydrate, this veggie helps supply the body with a steadier supply of glucose and prevents nasty little mood dips.

Corn

Packed with anger-squashing vitamin B, corn is a tasty and effective veggie for chilling out on spring and summer nights.

Kale

If you're feeling bloated or agitated, try incorporating more kale into your diet. The now-uber-popular green has anti-inflammatory properties that will help you feel less puffy.

Spinach

Feeling panicked? Munch on some spinach. The magnesium in this leafy green will help calm down your nervous system-and you.

Red Peppers

Not only are red peppers packed with minerals, like iron, potassium, and magnesium, but these colorful veggies have enough fiber to fuel tired brains and boost moods

Broccoli

Packed with iron, which helps carry oxygen through your blood, broccoli is an ideal mood-enhancing snack and helps fuel your brain.

Turnips

Rich in mood-boosting folic acid (folic acid deficiencies have been linked to depression), turnips and turnip greens help maintain proper serotonin levels. Plant this root veggie now to enjoy it later in the summer-and do it again in the fall for year-long benefits.
