Restful Sleep with Tart Cherry

Tart cherry helps you stay sleep better at night because they contain melatonin, a natural hormone that regulates our sleep cycle As the website Choosecherries.com goes further explaining "the tart taste is an indication of the amount of anthocyanins inside. These flavonoid compounds are behind the sourness, intense red color and potential health-promoting properties, like reducing muscle soreness after exercise, easing arthritis pain and enhancing heart health as well as more productive sleep".

More Energy = More Pure H2O

We are mostly water that circulates during the day. But if we aren't drinking enough pure water, we aren't giving ourselves the energy we need to get through our busy lives. Science has proven that if the average person drops as little as 5% in body fluids, he or she will suffer a 25 to 30 percent loss of energy.  The liver requires water to metabolize fat into usable energy. So drinking pure water (not tea or liquids) will help metabolize and shed stored fat, resulting in more energy.

Far Infrared Sauna reduces Injury Recovery & Heavy Metal Detox

If you're like me, the heat of the summer is a real zapper of energy but a different type of low heat sauna can reverse and rebuild your energy from inside out. If you've had injuries in sports, many athletes are finding far infrared is invaluable in reducing lactic acid and inflammation.
The frequency wave range of a infrared sauna is 7-14 microns, the frequency that H²0 resonates with.  This resonance releases toxins such as sulfur, formaldehyde and heavy metals for example. The increased depth of penetration provides pain-relief, detoxification and increased circulation.


“ Why you feel good after a infrared sauna now seems understandable. If radiant energy drives capillary flow and ample capillary flow is important for optimal cellular functioning, then sitting in the sauna will inevitably be a feel-good experience” adds Gerald H. Pollack, PhD is a professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington, Seattle Washington. Watch his TEDx talk to learn more about his work. -

The Mayo Clinic continues with studies it started back in the 90's for congestive heart failure to a broader group of other health issues and toxicity.

I found not only I had more energy but slept more deeply with beautiful glowing skin (since it encourages collagen production). Many yoga studios include 30 minute sessions for under $15 per session and packages that reduce below $10 per session. There are also Korean Spa and Sauna with lots of different sauna options in many cities.

Good Luck on your journey to wellness...

Hemp Milk - More Protein & Omega 3 than Almond Milk

Hemp anything seems to remind many of tie-dyed shirts and Rasta haircuts, but it is also another source of Omega 3s with higher protein than other nut milks. It includes essential amino acids, electrolytes (rehydrate), calcium and iron.

While up until recently, only shelf ready containers next to the almond milks were available, now there are some raw versions that increase not only better absorption by the body, but also digestible protein as well. Add it to your protein shakes, cereals or like me, if you're watching your carbs (i.e. sugar) totally by itself. It definitely tastes better if it's chilled, so I keep in the refrigerator, once I've opened the carton.

Infrared Coffee - Leave Acid Behind

Update: Google Illy or Lavazza (two Italian Infrared Roasted coffees), then your city and it will show you where to get a hot, brewed infrared roasted espresso or cappuccino. Terrific if you're on the go and no time to brew infrared roasted coffee at home. There seems to be someplace close to ensure smooth, non-acidic coffee. Had one this afternoon on cold winter day.
 
If you're like me, as time goes on, coffee, even from local coffee shops gave me 3 day heartburn even with cream. So I gave it up thinking it was just too acidic.Coffee was such a comforting taste and smell but the smell was going to have to be enough. The pain wasn't worth it.

Purple Pro & Prebiotic - Microbiome's friend

There's a war going on in your gut. Overgrowth of Sugar bs. Friendly Bacteria. Once I got my gut cleared of sugar overgrowth (from antibiotics, birth control pill, anti-inflammatory over-the-counters, low quality, processed foods), then I could "arm" the friendlies.
The trick I discovered was timing..The Overgrowth needed to be pushed out before the friendlies can "arm". Friendlies, need food to feed the new reinforcements and arms, i.e. prebiotics. Raw Cruciferus veggies in enough bulk can be challenging without tummy issues. I found herbs that promoted  better liver function starting slowly, then building up in amount before bed was a great option. Then adding pre and probiotics to reseed the gut. I've tried all sorts of what was available at the time of my health crisis but found easier, higher quality ones nowadays,
