COMFORT FOOD leaves you less than comfy in your clothes
“FACT: The #1 most eaten ‘vegetable’ in the U.S. is FRENCH FRIES!” Dr. Richard Schulze
Are you one of the many guilty of feeding your taste buds and NOT your body? I know I’m guilty of it at one time or another – one taste of potato chips and I’m hooked.
When we binge or indulge out of control, we can in fact eat or drink ourselves into oblivion the next day, hardly being recognizable even by us. It’s scary what the wrong foods can do!
Thinking about what I may look or feel like after a meal (I am considering indulging in) has helped me avoid the food more than once! Before you eat, ask yourself what consequence a certain food or drink will have on your looks and your health.
If what you are about to eat or drink will not make you look or feel better, why have it? Why torture yourself?
AVOID BANKRUPTCY with diet and detox
A study done by Harvard University shows that 62% of 2007 filings were from
healthcare costs. This is insane because many of those costs could easily be prevented. If you don’t learn how to take control of your health, IT WILL CONTROL YOU AND YOUR FINANCES. It is very possible and quite easy to live long (and lean) with a better than average diet and seasonal detoxing. Rather than die a slow suicide with fast (and processed foods), not to mention the fermenting waste causing you to age quicker inside AND out.
You DO have a choice on how well and attractively you age… what’ll it be?
BAD BREATH is more than a dental issue…
Bacteria from poor dental hygiene can cause some bad breath but the main culprit is your digestive tract and liver. It’s similar to a faulty sewer main that gets backed up and smelly.
The 2005 New Orleans Katrina Disaster is a great example – the backed up drainage systems were widely discussed. Illness and disease were a primary concern because of the potential disease the water was capable of carrying. When that water backed up into the city, it not only stunk, it posed many problems. Their flooding was toxic water, ours is toxic waste. A backup in our sewer system combined with our body temperature of 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit is perfect ground for disease.
Get your body clean and it will keep you lean (and healthy) for decades to come!
Hazardous Toothpaste?
You bet!! There are many all-natural toothpastes that leave your breath fresher than any major name brand toothpaste – and, these healthy toothpastes aren’t toxic. My favorites are Jason’s brand and Dental Herb Company. However, when I run out of my current tube I am giving serious thought to making my own.
Of the many natural toothpastes and homemade toothpaste recipes, there will always be someone who can find something wrong with it – use your best judgment, just consider staying away from the conventional ones (Colgate, Crest, etc). With any toothpaste, like most other things… there is no one-size-fits-all.
If you want to live long AND healthy, begin reading labels on e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. Conventional toothpaste has a warning label for a reason – this warning is especially crucial for children.
Did you know bad breath is more than a dental issue? Stay tuned for more…
