It’s estimated that just one cup of coffee contains more than 2,000 chemicals, many of which are gastrointestinal irritants and cancer-causing agents. Also, the high heat used in roasting coffee beans causes the natural oils to turn rancid, further contributing to its chemical load. READ MORE

Toxic Beauty

smoothskin1Did you ever hear the saying, “Don’t put it on your skin if you wouldn’t put it in your mouth.”? Our skin is only 1/10 of an inch thick and highly permeable. Skin is the body’s largest organ (approximately 10 sq. ft. if laid out like a rug) and this porous membrane is highly sensitive to toxic chemicals.

What we put on our skin affects our health more than what we put in our mouth. Dr. Epstein discusses how the carcinogens in these beauty products create greater cancer risks than eating contaminated food. That’s because the chemicals you swallow can be somewhat detoxified by enzymes in the liver.

Drink Your Troubles Away

dscf00181dscf00151I know I talk about juicing a lot, but it is such an important part of my day. Lately I have been investing so many hours in my business that it might have been easy to neglect my diet. Thank God I can juice to get some of my nutrients VERY easily!

All you need to do is add super foods like E3live/spirulina, chlorella, good quality (green powder) ground flax seed. This is definitely my Magic Pill.

Juices are also a real stress reliever, so no matter what’s happening, I make the time to juice. This might seem STRANGE to some of you, but if you try it just once, chances are you’ll keep on juicing.

I can’t stress enough how keeping your menu to liquids ‚Äî green juices! ‚Äî in the morning is an excellent way to aid your body’s natural repair cycles. Since our bodies are usually far too acidic, this is a good way to help flush out all the bad things and replace them with the good ones we need.
