Detoxing is one of the most popular words in the month of January. Many people take the start of a new year as an opportunity to do a whole body cleansing to increase the efficiency of the digestive system and to stimulate the other parts of the body that are responsible for cleansing and elimination.

In fact, a detox program is so important what it should be done at least twice a year. Just remember how many impurities and toxins we get daily, in the food we eat and the air we breathe. A toxin is any substance that causes irritating or harmful effects in your body and this daily exposure to pollution starts to add up, leading to a buildup of harmful free radicals within us, which may result in damage to our bodies.

A whole body cleansing is one of the best ways to help rid the body of toxins. Foods rich in antioxidants have been found to neutralize toxins and free radicals by seeking them out and deactivating them. The main antioxidant nutrients are vitamins A, C, and E. Super Fruits are also believed to contain high concentrations of anti-oxidants.

In addition, a detox program is highly recommended if you are starting a weight-loss diet to ensure your body can works at its best in all functions, from getting the most out of your nutrition to revving up your metabolism. Detoxing will improve your appearance, regulate your sleep patterns, increase your vitality, enhance your underlying health, and boost your emotional well-being.

Zeolite supplements have become one of the most searched products at Lucky Vitamin. If you are looking for more information about zeolite, Lucky Blog is your source for a quick overview of this incredible mineral.

Zeolite is a breakthrough supplement used for detoxification and cleansing of the human body. The term zeolite was originally coined in 1756 by Swedish mineralogist Axel Fredrik Cronstedt. It works at the cellular level by trapping heavy metals and toxins and safely removing them from the body.

Zeolite effectively eliminates toxic heavy metals (such as lead, mercury, and aluminum), neurotoxins and free radicals from the body through the urinary tract, without removing vital nutrients.

The zeolites are a rare group of minerals with negative magnetic charge. The effect of the magnetic charge is that zeolite draws heavy metals (including mercury, cadmium, lead, arsenic, aluminum, and even radioactive metals like cesium and strontium-90) and toxins to it and simply engulfs them. Then, zeolite carries them safely and harmlessly out of the body through normal digestion.

Heavy metals are implicated as a causative factor in many illnesses. Linus Pauling, winner of two Nobel Prizes, believed that 90% of all medical conditions are attributable to excessive heavy metals, toxins, toxic chemicals, and trace mineral deficiency.

The benefits from zeolite supplements are far better than just detoxifying the body by removing heavy metals and toxins. It helps rematerialize the body, prevents pre-mature aging, supports immune system function, reduce cancer risk, reduces symptoms of allergies, helps balance pH, boosts energy levels, increases vitamin and mineral absorption, and may lower the risk of acid reflux.

Zeolite has been studied extensively by scientists in countries around the world and these non-toxic minerals are federally classified as GRAS (Generally Regarded As Safe).

Bentonite clay has been used to treat several different conditions for hundreds of years. Native Americans and ancient African tribes have used clay as a natural remedy to heal wounds, treat rashes and insect bites, heal stomach pain, relieve ulcers, and heal fatigue.

Bentonite clay comes from deposits of volcanic ash that has settled over thousands of years. As the ash settles through the earth, it absorbs different nutrients from the earth. It is the absorption process that makes clay such a beneficial detoxification in the body, absorbing toxins and carrying them through the system. Bentonite clay products often contain magnesium and over sixty other trace minerals.

This powerful product can be used both internally and externally. Bentonite is commonly used to detoxify the body as its ability to swell and absorb toxins from the body may relieve symptoms associated with toxin build up.

Drinking clay mixed with water is used as a detoxifier and an internal body cleanser. Toxins come from many sources such greasy foods and environmental sources and, overtime, toxins can build up and inhibit the body’s natural functions contributing to issues such as digestive problems, headaches and allergies.

Externally, bentonite clay can be used to treat muscle damage, bruises, cuts and wounds. You can prepare a bentonite clay pack by mixing the clay with water until it has a mud like consistency and apply it to the affected skin area. Other skin problems such as eczema, psoriasis and rashes often respond well to bentonite clay treatments. Many personal care products contain bentonite clay as an ingredient, particularly facial products.

Many people don’t really understand what exactly Candida is. Some people refer to Candida as yeast, but they are actually two different forms of the same fungi and have different needs for survival.

In fact, Candida is a genus of yeasts and many species of this genus are endosymbionts of animal hosts including humans. Some Candida species have the potential to cause disease and the most significant member of the genus, Candida albicans, can cause infections (candidiasis) in humans.

The recent high number of yeast infections is related to the rise in the use of antibiotics, known to promote Candida overgrowth which can cause various health problems from fatigue to weight gain.

Health practitioners believe a proper cleanse can address Candida overgrowth by first cleansing the Candida for a few weeks to create an environment suitable to rebuilding the friendly bacteria, which keeps Candida under control.

Candida supplements work to promote a healthy flora balance, normal digestion and internal cleansing. These products contain a probiotic blend, powerful botanicals, including grapefruit seed, plant-source enzymes and soothing herbs that encourage gut health and digestive harmony. In addition, Candida Cleanse targets the immune system using herbs that are commonly used for anti-fungal activity, including pau d’arco and garlic.

In addition, health practitioners believe “Candida cleanse” diet can cure fatigue, headaches and weight gain. A Candida cleanse diet includes no sugar, white flour, yeast and cheese, foods that can promote Candida overgrowth. Vegetables are considered the ideal food for Candida diets, particularly leafy veggies, broccoli, asparagus, and cauliflower, and can help to support your Candida cleansing and lead you to recovery and a healthier lifestyle.

The winter is quickly approaching and so is the flu season. People often seek alternative ways to boost the immune system around this time of the year.

Enhancing the immune system is something we should do throughout the entire year but, for different reasons, we tend to be concerned only when temperatures fall.

This fall, people have another important reason to be preventive: the “swine flu”. The H1N1 influenza continues to make news around the world and some people are still looking for information on how this contagious infection is transmitted and how to prevent it.

H1N1 virus may spread from person to person and boosting the immune system is still the best way to prevent it. Most people who come down with H1N1 swine flu recover fully without antiviral treatment.

There are a lot of products that may naturally boost energy, cleanse the colon and strengthen the immune system. Natural supplements are rich in antioxidants, which play a great role in cleansing by causing the immune system to respond.

Açaí berry, kelp, burdock root, flax seed, slippery elm bark and red clover are ingredients commonly found in immune enhancing cleanse formulas.

Some people are prone to colds and often feel tired, likely because their system must have accumulated a lot of toxins. The human body has its own way of fighting the flu but when the system is polluted by a lot of toxins and chemicals, its response is compromised.

An immune boosting cleanse is one of the best ways to get started, enhancing your immunity and regaining your health.

We always wonder if detoxification and cleansing can help with weight-loss.

Several companies have developed detox products to drop a few pounds in just a few days.

But stay alert: it’s not as easy as it sounds. These products work but we have to understand the type of results you can get before starting any program.

First, detoxification and cleansing are very important for any weight-loss program. Unwanted toxins enter the human body everyday, mainly from the food we eat.

Consequently, a poor diet is most likely responsible for a system in need for some detox. By cleansing our system of there unnatural substances our body is able to function more efficiently and, as a result, accomplish our goals – in this case: losing weight.

Second, detoxification is just the first step. Some people may be able to lose a few pounds during the actual cleansing process. However, the human body weight normally fluctuates within a few days, not really representing any major loss of weight.

Therefore, a 24-hour or 48-hour weight loss diet is not really a weight-loss program and will not provide significant results. It may help preparing the body for a serious weight-loss program but it should not be called a diet and it’s not recommended more than once.

Finally, diet and exercising are still the main components of a successful weigh-loss program. Natural supplements such as fat burners may help maximizing results, or perhaps accomplishing results quicker.

In conclusion, weight loss cleansing works. We just need to understand that “works” should mean preparing the body for a weight-loss diet instead of rapidly losing weight.

People always wonder whether or not they need a colon cleanse. The colon is one of the primary organs responsible for eliminating bodily wastes and promoting the absorption of vital nutrients.

A healthy colon is essential to good health. We can give you a few good reasons to consider doing a program every six months, even if you are not having any problems.

First, most people will start a colon cleanse to regulate their bowel movement. It’s a safe, alternative method to treat many of our symptoms and problems. When you do a colon cleanse, you are actually cleansing your entire body, including the small intestines, large intestines and stomach as well. Individuals with an unhealthy colon may experience poor digestion and, therefore, irregular bowel movement.

Second, everything we eat ends up in our bowels as toxins. Irregular movement starts when these toxins build up resulting in problems such as constipation, Candida and being overweight.

Finally, consider a colon cleanse program if you would simply like to feel better. It’s also an opportunity to strengthen their inner organs and get rid of the toxins accumulated as a result of an unhealthy diet.

Results can be measured but the number of bowel movements a day. A healthy bowel should have at lease one movement a day, but most people average two movements, with very little constipation.  A normal bowel movement should be effortless and pain free.

Have your thought about your New Years resolution? If your answer is no, you only have two days left in 2008. Time is running out.

LuckyVitamin is helping you to make 2009 a healthy year. Many people like to start the New Year fresh.

A whole-body cleanse or detox may be the first step to a healthier and better life. An internal cleansing system provides multiple benefits.

The removal of toxin substances from the body is a vital part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

A detox program cleans your system of unnatural substances and, as a result, your body is able to function more efficiently.

A whole body cleanse is recommended every six months. Think about. The food we eat, the air we breathe and the environment we live in can add many unwanted toxins to our body every day. How do we get them out?

A detox program will take care of this issue, promoting a stronger body and preventing diseases. Most products have the perfect combination of fibers and herbs to enhance the digestive system as well as the immune system.

Fortifying your system is important to stay healthy. Total body wellness is the key to give you more energy for daily tasks, faster recovery for cold and flu symptoms and less intestinal problems such as bloating and indigestion.

It takes time to clean up your entire body. A one-month program will provide much better results than a one-week product. In some cases a two-week detox program might also generate good results.

Imagine if you could find a natural supplement that could help you with three major health concerns. Now, imagine if this substance could promote detoxification, support depression problems and relieve arthritis. Does is sound too good to be true?

In fact, there’s such a thing and it’s called SAMe – S-Adenosyl-l-methionine.

SAMe is an important biological agent in the human body, participating in more than forty essential biochemical reactions. It’s found in every living cell in the human body.

Adults produce six to eight mg of SAM daily, most of it in the liver, detoxifying the body of poisons from drugs, alcohol, heavy metals and solvents.

SAMe is also a critical compound to maintain healthy cartilage and prevent joint problems. SAMe takes part in “methylation”, a chemical process when the body synthesizes the chemical components of cartilage, detoxifying potentially dangerous substances.

How does it help with depression? It detoxifies brain cells and also plays a role in how certain neurotransmitters linked to mood are made. SAMe is the best alternative for people with depression who cannot take prescription medication or cannot have some of the side effects from regular drugs.

SAMe is not abundant in food but some protein may be able to increase the body’s production. Supplements are still the best way to increase the intake of SAMe.

Aloe Vera supplements have been on of the hottest sellers in health food stores in the past couple years. The recent surge indicates that more people are discovering this incredible product which has been used for many medicinal purposes.

Also known as the Medicinal Aloe, Aloe Vera is originally from northern Africa. This beautiful plant has long green leaves, which have spikes along the edges. The fresh leaf gel is used medicinally, and in cosmetic products as well.

Aloe Vera is used to support common health issues, such as detoxification, constipation, IBS- Irritable bowel syndrome – and heartburn. In addition, aloe has been historically used topically to heal minor cuts, burns, insect bites, itching and sunburn.

Several Aloe Vera juices are available and most products are found in two different forms: juice or gel. Customers always wonder: what is the difference between the juice and the gel? Which one is better?

The gel comes from the juice but uses a natural thickening agent called carrageenan, which comes from the Irish moss.  The benefits are technically the same, choosing between juice or gel is more a form preference than a reason for better results.

Talking about taste, the juice has a vegetable taste and can be mixed with any type of beverage. An average intake of aloe Vera should be anywhere between two to four ounces per day.

So, if you are looking for a natural detox product that can also help you with better bowel movement, Aloe Vera may be what you’ve been looking for.

We often have the same digestive system problems. Chronic constipation, bowel disorders, excessive intestinal gas and diarrhea are common issues we face on a regular basis.

It’s always hard to understand why our digestive system does not work properly because we find ourselves saying the same sentence: “I didn’t eat anything different”. That could be the actual reason we may be having problems: our diet.

We should eat something different. Typical American eating habits are far from healthy. A possible solution for the problem is to increase our daily fiber intake.

Fiber is a food component that remains undigested as it’s processed through the gastrointestinal tract. It promotes good bowel movement because it absorbs water and “pushes” the food down our system, from our mouth, stomach, small intestine and finally our colon.

There are two different types of fiber: soluble and insoluble.

Soluble fiber undergoes metabolic processing via fermentation, eventually digested in the large intestine. Its bulking power is limited but it helps controlling blood sugar and cholesterol levels, as well as boosting good bacteria production. Insoluble fiber remains indigested, promoting soften stool and a faster transit time through the intestinal tract.

So, how much fiber should we have and where do we find it?

The American Dietetic Association (ADA) recommends a minimum of 20-35g of fiber per day. Some health practitioners believe healthy adults should eat 35-50g a day.
Whole grains are the highest fiber content foods, such as wheat, oats, rice, corn and barley. Seeds, nuts, dried fruits, beets, peas, carrots and potatoes also provide high amounts of fiber.

Don’t forget to drink plenty of water and chew your foods thoroughly. Adding a digestive enzyme could be significantly important to improve bowel movement. Fiber supplements will help people with chronic problems, but can also be taken just to improve overall health.

You want to cleanse your body, ridding it naturally of the toxins that are causing you aches and pains, and general ill-health, but there just aren’t enough hours in the day. You have to prioritize, and right now work, family and every other must-do daily activity are making it impossible to think of anything else. You’d detox at night, but that’s when you like to . . . well, sleep. It’s not like you can cleanse and sleep at the same time, can you?

Thanks to Patch-It, you can.

Created by NutriWorks, Patch-It is comprised of Mandarin wood vinegar, mandarin oil, tourmaline and germanium. You apply one patch to each foot before bed, and for the next seven hours, your body’s natural healing is aided by the nutrients at your soles. They stimulate the reflex points on your feet, improving circulation and thus, detoxification throughout your body. Everything that regularly works to evict toxins, such as sweat, is bettered, and by the time, you remove the patches you feel as if your insides had gone through a luxuriously indulgent spa ritual.

Okay, that’s what the box says, with a little backup from the Web site, but what is it really like after you’ve strapped two Patch-Its to your feet? Continue Reading >>
