First, start your morning with freshly squeezed lemon in warm water. I think I mentioned this already! This helps to cleanse the liver and promote detoxification.
It also stimulates bile production, cleanses the stomach and stimulates bowel motion.
Here’s a recipe for an amazing drink for the liver that I highly recommend:

Let’s talk about chemical balance and what that means. It’s called “pH.” Without an in-depth lesson in chemistry basics, suffice it to say that pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in your blood.
The lower your pH, the stronger the acid content, or acidity, of your body.
The higher your pH, the stronger the alkaline content, or alkalinity, of your body. A normal pH balance hovers around seven.

Magnesium is the most important mineral the body requires for cellular health.
It soothes the sympathetic nervous system (providing deeper rest), and is essential for the production of amino acids that are critical for virtually every chemical reaction in the body.
When you restore vital magnesium to the body, you make cellular regeneration possible.

Understanding and preventing indigestion requires that you know something about your body cycles.
While our bodies consist of complex systems that seem to enjoy throwing us for a loop, there are many constants that we can use to our advantage when working to create a smooth-flowing rhythm in how things work.
Here’s 3 Easy Steps to Improve Digestion:
Keep these body cycles foods in mind to help your digestion system!
Cycle 1: This occurs from the early morning hours through lunchtime (4 a.m. to 12 p.m.). Considering all of the toxins that we come into contact with every day, this cycle is extremely important because it works to detoxify our bodies and restore delicate internal balance.
Ideally, cleansing foods should be eaten during this cycle to avoid introducing more toxins into the mix.
A good rule of thumb is to keep breakfast light every day. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, herbal teas, sprout drinks, nut milk, or seed milk instead of heavy starches and proteins.

I always encourage people to eat a more vegetarian / live food diet. That means staying away from animal protein if at all possible. But, if you want to keep meat in your diet, try to do it in the healthiest way possible. When it comes to eating beef, I strongly recommend that you consume only “organic” and “grass-fed” beef. It makes a world of difference to your body because beef that you purchase in the grocery stores, even corn-fed beef, is filled with antibiotics and growth hormones.
In the article “What About Grass-Fed Beef?” by John Robbins, who is a leading expert on the connection between diet, health, and the environment, he points out that commercially available beef in the United States is almost all “feedlot” beef because it is a faster and more profitable approach to raising cattle.

Chia seeds are the talk of the town and you need to find out why. Here is a top 10 list of reasons why these little wonders have become so popular. Take a closer look and find out all the benefits:
1. If you’re craving, reach for the chia.
Your body is great at telling you something, especially if you’re deficient in certain minerals or vitamins. Your body can send you on a mission to the kitchen, as you crave foodstuffs that will make up for the particular deficiency.
Unfortunately, this can often lead to you eating the wrong foods and/or too much of the wrong thing, especially if you are on a selective diet of some kind. If you crave calcium, sprinkle some chia on your regular food.

If you don’t eat dairy, how do you get enough calcium? You get lots of calcium from various vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables such as kale, sea weeds as well as broccoli and sesame seeds. Calcium is readily available in many foods. Better yet, these foods are alkaline producing, so the body can actually use the calcium it gets from them.
Dairy products actually do not provide sufficient calcium. The countries with the highest dairy consumption are also the ones with highest osteoporosis levels! Dairy is one of the most acidic foods on the pH scale and calcium is the number one mineral the body uses to buffer against excess acidity.

In order for our bodies to process sugar, it has to rob our reserves of vitamins and minerals. This means sugar is not just an empty calorie substance . . . it’s a sub-zero calorie substance. And this can have devastating effects on your body.
For instance, when our bodies look for nutrients to steal, it targets key minerals such as calcium from the bones and teeth. And since calcium is the primary mineral used to neutralize high acid in the cells, we could be left with “toxic” minerals, because there’s not enough calcium to fight them off.
