			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><a href="http://www.healthlady.com/articles/natural-detox/attachment/natural-detox/" rel="attachment wp-att-13216"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-13216" title="natural detox" src="http://www.healthlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/natural-detox-125x125.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>Now&#8217;s a great time to think about spring cleaning. And by this, I&#8217;m not just referring to your house or garage or worksite. I&#8217;m talking about natural ways to detox or cleanse the body—your &#8220;inner&#8221; house.</p>
<p>What do I mean by natural detox? I&#8217;m referring to organic ways to cleanse the body of toxins, heavy metals, chemicals, and other pollutants. Now, there are a lot of detoxification products out there. Just browse the Internet and you&#8217;ll see an abundance of sites that offer any number of cleansing products. They come as beverages and in pill and powder form, and even as trans-dermal patches.<span id="more-13215"></span></p>
<p>It can be confusing and a lot to absorb. The best advice I can offer is to choose a body detoxification method that&#8217;s natural and organic and that will work to enhance the body&#8217;s own detoxification systems, including the colon, gallbladder, and liver.</p>
<p><strong>Here are five, simple, natural detox approaches that you can readily integrate into your health routine:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Juice fast</strong> &#8211; A juice fast is a natural way to activate your internal cleansing process, and an ideal way to bring the vitality of raw, organic fruit and vegetable juices into your diet. This natural detox method not only eliminates toxic waste products from the body but also promotes the nourishment of cells. And, the cleansing process gives your body&#8217;s organs and glands a rest from the digestion and elimination processes that they routinely perform.</li>
<li><strong>Sweat It Out</strong> &#8211; What&#8217;s more natural than engaging in activities that will sweat toxins out of your body. Go for a brisk walk, try bouncing on a mini-trampoline, enjoy a really hot bath, or spend time in a sauna. Deep sweating assists the skin, your largest organ of detoxification, in doing its job properly.</li>
<li><strong>“Dry Brush&#8221; Your Skin </strong>- Right before you take a bath or shower, use a dry body brush to buff your skin. By removing dead skin cells through a gentle massaging action, your skin will be warmed and energized, which will help it to detoxify easily.</li>
<li><strong>Drink Lots of Water</strong> &#8211; This is the most basic and simplest approach to a natural detox. Make sure you begin your day with 1 or 2 glasses of warm, filtered water to replenish the fluids you lost while you were sleeping. Then make sure you continue to hydrate yourself with water regularly throughout the day.</li>
<li><strong>Maintain a High-Fiber Diet</strong> &#8211; Eat lots of organic fruits and vegetables like broccoli, beets, and apples, and other healthy, high-fiber foods like black beans, quinoa, and brown rice. By consuming a high-fiber diet, you&#8217;ll improve the functioning of your colon and keep yourself regular.</li>
</ul>
<p>The next time you clean your house, remember to cleanse your &#8220;inner house,&#8221; too, through a natural method of detoxification. You&#8217;ll improve the <em>flow</em> of your life immensely!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>If You&#8217;ve Recently Started Feeling More Sluggish Than Usual, Getting Sick More Often And You&#8217;ve Put On Extra Pounds <em>All Of A</em></strong><strong> <em>Sudden</em></strong><strong>&#8230;<em>And You&#8217;re Wondering If It&#8217;s Because Of Menopause, A Change In Your Metabolism, Lifestyle&#8230; Or You&#8217;ve Just Turned A &#8220;Certain Age&#8221;&#8230;</em></strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong><em>I&#8217;ll tell you right now&#8230;<span style="text-decoration: underline;"> IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!!! Read On For The Startling Truth! </span></em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-13203" href="http://www.healthlady.com/articles/detoxifying/attachment/detoxbody/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-13203" title="detoxbody" src="http://www.healthlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/detoxbody-125x125.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>Our bodies go through a tremendous amount of wear and tear on a daily basis, not only on the outside, but on the inside, as well. Just think about the toxic substances that enter your body through the foods you eat and drink, and the products you put on your skin. Add to that the pollutants in the air that you inhale every day, and you have a barrage of toxic substances that your body must regularly process.</p>
<p><span id="more-13202"></span></p>
<p>Unfortunately, as amazing as our organs, glands, and systems are at dispelling waste from the body, it&#8217;s a job that requires extra support from time to time.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s because of the large amounts of <strong>sugar</strong>, <strong>saturated fats</strong>, <strong>processed foods</strong>, and <strong>chemicals </strong>we consume through our daily diets. And, if you routinely indulge in habits like smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages, then you&#8217;re really giving your system a workout!</p>
<p>Now, some of you may be saying that you eat a <strong>mostly raw</strong>, <strong>organic diet</strong>; but even those foods have some level of debris that must be filtered by the body. That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s essential that you detoxify your body on a regular basis.</p>
<p>Think of it as a regular maintenance schedule that will allow your body a much needed rest from the daily grind of digestion and elimination. It&#8217;s not unlike the servicing you routinely schedule for your car.</p>
<p>You bring your car in for regular tune ups, don&#8217;t you? Well, your body is the vehicle you use every day to move you on your life path, and it&#8217;s the only one you&#8217;ll have in this lifetime; so you have to love and care for it!</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why I say that detoxifying your body is a self-loving gift and a demonstration of self-responsibility and self-care. A body detox unlocks and releases the energies that normally work to digest and eliminate food down in the stomach and intestines.</p>
<p>Because the body doesn&#8217;t have to work as hard to digest liquids during a detox, it can channel these energies to other areas of the body like the heart and the head, or your mental and emotional states.</p>
<p>A body detox is one of the best ways to avoid serious health conditions and diseases, while strengthening the functioning of your system, overall.</p>
<p>And remember that you can engage in natural methods of detoxification by consuming a diet that is high in fiber and low in fat; juice fasting; getting a colonic irrigation; sweating through exercise or through a hot bath or sauna; taking detoxifying herbs; or drinking plenty of filtered water.</p>
<p>Your body is exquisite with its own built-in, self-healing mechanism.</p>
<p>But remember to show it some love and give it support through regular body detoxification. It will strengthen your body by giving it proper rest, fuel, stimulation, and energy!</p>

Among other things, your digestive, intestinal and bowel functions slow down, resulting in constipation.</p>
<p><span id="more-11950"></span></p>
<p>These are complex systems which I cover in more detail in <a href="http://healthlady.com/detox-program">my program.</a></p>
<p>In addition, your circulatory system, overburdened by the surplus toxins, sends everything to the liver, which, in turn, becomes intoxicated and recirculates the blood and toxins throughout the body.<br />
Your overloaded blood is then purified by the kidneys, causing them to overwork in the process of eliminating the toxins.</p>
<p>The toxins are now slowing down many of the body’s systems and processing cycles. Intoxication is now in place.</p>
<p>This toxic cycle will continue to repeat itself unless you take specific steps to stop it. This is why <a href="http://healthlady.com/detox-program">my program</a> works so well. It helps get the toxicity out of your body. It helps to alkalize your body, which helps to detoxify it.</p>
<p>Here are some signs that your body may be toxic:</p>
<p>•    As a woman, you&#8217;re getting lots of yeast infections.<br />
•    As a man, you&#8217;re getting prostate infections.<br />
•    You&#8217;re catching more colds.<br />
•    You&#8217;re gaining weight.<br />
•    You&#8217;re getting unexplained headaches.<br />
•    You&#8217;re getting arthritis.<br />
•    You&#8217;re experiencing chronic constipation, or lots of gas and bloating.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-11944" href="http://www.healthlady.com/articles/why-food-is-often-used-as-a-narcotic/attachment/dreamstime_16582773/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11944" title="dreamstime_16582773" src="http://www.healthlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dreamstime_16582773-125x125.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>Every time we’re unhappy or very happy, we eat</strong>. It pacifies everything. We often use food to calm us down so we don’t have to be conscious because we’re in pain.</p>
<p><strong>Here’s another problem:</strong> 6 out of 10 people today, especially those who are the typical sugar eaters, have low- or high-blood sugar problems. You either have hypoglycemia or diabetic problems.<br />
<strong><span id="more-11943"></span>That’s really difficult for people.</strong> But, when you alkalize the body with the right nutrients, it helps to dissolve toxins that have accumulated on the walls of the digestive tract, and in the vessels, organs and cells of the body.</p>
<p><strong>Detoxification is going to help rid the body of toxins</strong> more efficiently and is also going to produce energy and reduce hunger.</p>
<p><strong>Your blood sugar won’t be going all over the place</strong>. Your body will feel good and nourished, naturally, because you&#8217;ve alkalized it.</p>
<p><strong>Think about adding detoxification to your health routine. </strong>It’s simple. If you follow a guideline like the program I offer, it’s easy to incorporate detoxification into your regular routine. It’s convenient, and it means that you won’t have to rely on a detoxification center to do this work.</p>
<p>So, if you’re fed up with feeling tired all the time, carrying around<strong> excess weight,</strong> or <strong>fighting constant food</strong> <strong>cravings, </strong>then the <a href="http://healthlady.com/detox-program"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>Fat Burning Detox Program </strong></span></a>is meant for you!</p>
<p>Now, I know that introducing changes to your daily eating habits can be a bit overwhelming, especially when you’re just starting out. And, if you’ve never done anything like this before, you may not know what to expect or how to start. Don’t worry. I’ve been there, too.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-11933" href="http://www.healthlady.com/articles/detoxification-or-cleansing-doesnt-mean-deprivation/attachment/plate2/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11933" title="plate2" src="http://www.healthlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/plate2-125x125.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>Let me dispel a popular myth. A lot of people associate detoxification with deprivation, but it’s not. Here’s another way to look at it: detoxification is a great way to reinvent your life because it’s all about becoming a brand new you.</p>
<p><span id="more-11932"></span></p>
<p>I created an online health program so I could pass along to you what I have had to learn the hard way.</p>
<p>The truth is that everybody can benefit from a healthy cleanse. Detoxification has been a healthy way of life for people for centuries — as far back as our ancient Greek and Roman ancestors.</p>
<p>You know, the body is no more than a machine; and, at one time or another, every machine has to be shut off for a period of time to rest. Don’t you agree?</p>
<p>Even if you’re eating pure, organic, vegan or living foods, those foods still have debris. So, wouldn’t it be nice to shut off the body’s digestion and elimination processes for one or maybe a few days through a detoxification process?</p>
<p>Instead of focusing on digestion and elimination, that energy could then be directed to other areas of your body like the heart, the head, or your emotional and spiritual states.</p>
<p>Detoxification simply unlocks and releases the energies that normally work to digest and eliminate food down in the stomach and intestines. Instead, these energies are channeled to the heart and the head.</p>
<p>It’s an amazing gift to the body.</p>
<p><strong>Wouldn’t You like to be in control of what and how you eat,  instead of just reacting to your cravings on an emotional level? Your  cravings are adding toxins to your body.</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-11923" href="http://www.healthlady.com/articles/cleaning-house-your-body/attachment/dreamstime_4319688/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11923" title="dreamstime_4319688" src="http://www.healthlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dreamstime_4319688-125x125.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>Unless you’re living in a sterile bubble</strong>, your body becomes toxic simply through everyday living. It’s a fact of our modern society. Eating cooked and processed foods, breathing unclean air, and drinking less-than-pure water are the norm for most.</p>
<p><strong>But a body cleanse can help to eliminate food </strong>and <strong>environmental toxins,</strong> as well as addictions, bad habits and unhealthy thought patterns. During a cleanse, the brain recovers its natural sensitivity to simple foods. Salt, sugar, fats and processed foods become naturally unattractive.<br />
<span id="more-11922"></span>Although we might initially think of intoxication as the result of having one too many glasses of wine at the company holiday party, in this instance, becoming toxic — intoxication — is the result of absorption, retention or the development of toxins within the body. These wastes and residues can weaken the proper functioning of your body, or even injure or damage vital organs as they build up in your system.</p>
<p>Intoxication can be mild, moderate or severe, depending on the severity of the toxins, how much is being stored in your body, and how long you’ve been holding these toxins inside.</p>
<p><strong>Unfortunately, there are several ways you can become toxic, including the following: </strong></p>
<p><strong>Your diet </strong>— eating processed foods containing chemical agents</p>
<p>• <strong>Genetically Modified Organisms</strong> (GMO), food preservatives, food coloring, etc.</p>
<p>• <strong>Constipation </strong></p>
<p>• <strong>Overconsumption </strong>(overeating)</p>
<p>• <strong>Eating late at night</strong> — within 2–3 hours of bedtime</p>
<p>• <strong>Lack of sleep</strong> — whether it&#8217;s insomnia, night work or just not setting aside enough<br />
hours for sleep</p>
<p>• <strong>Sedentary lifestyle</strong> — sitting at the computer or in front of the TV too much with no<br />
regular exercise</p>
<p>• <strong>Water —</strong> not getting at least 8 glasses of water a day</p>
<p>• <strong>Exposure to a toxic environment</strong> — air, water and noise pollution, magnetic fields,<br />
tobacco, radiation (e.g., sun, X-rays, microwaves, etc.)</p>
<p>• <strong>Emotions</strong> — too much stress or not dealing with your stress, overworking, anger,<br />
resentment, sorrow, emotional shock</p>
<p>• <strong>Drugs — </strong>medication overdose, hard drugs</p>
<p>• <strong>Aging </strong>— congested and exhausted elimination organs</p>
<p><strong>Are you frustrated with your current health situation? </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>You’re always tired and don’t sleep well</li>
<li>You feel anxious or depressed</li>
<li>Your moods are up and down</li>
<li>Bloating and water retention are a problem for you</li>
<li>Your eyes are puffy with dark circles</li>
<li>You have aches and pains in your joints or muscles</li>
<li>You are constipated or suffer from irritable bowel syndrome</li>
<li>You struggle with Unhealthy Weight</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-11915" href="http://www.healthlady.com/articles/detoxification-an-age-old-healing-practice/attachment/detox-2/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11915" title="detox" src="http://www.healthlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/detox-125x125.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>Did you know that in the natural world</strong>, fasting is a normal practice, and traditional cultures steadfastly believe in it?</p>
<p><strong>The truth is that detoxification</strong> has been practiced through the ages. In fact, ancient philosophers used fasting as a method to strengthen their minds.</p>
<p><span id="more-11914"></span></p>
<p><strong>Since early times, humans</strong> have instinctively stopped eating whenever they&#8217;ve gotten sick to allow their bodies time to cleanse and heal. Animals instinctively do the same thing.</p>
<p><strong>Native Americans</strong> continue to use sweat lodges for purification and religious rites; and, in India, the age-old system of Ayurveda is built around cleansing the body of toxins.</p>
<p>Today, body cleansing is popular in Europe, especially in <strong>Swedish</strong> and <strong>German spas</strong> and <strong>clinics.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Most worldwide health care practitioners </strong>recognize detoxification as the missing link to health and healing. Yet, a great many of us continue to think very little about what we can do to cleanse our insides, while taking plenty of time to focus on the outsides of our bodies.</p>
<p><strong>Many of the illnesses</strong> we go to the doctor for today are preventable conditions such as obes-ity and its resulting complications, including diabetes, hypertension and more serious forms of heart disease. But it requires taking better care of ourselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.</p>
<p>Now, no one said changing your lifestyle and eating habits was going to be easy. After all, it took years to create those unhealthy ways of living.</p>
<p><strong>Letting go of bad life habits </strong>and introducing good ones can be a difficult and challenging endeavor. There’s no doubt about it. It not only involves engaging in regular physical activity, but also mental determination and old-fashioned stick-to-it-iveness.</p>
<p>Every component of healthy living — eating right, exercising, avoiding smoking and alcohol — has a huge impact on our health and wellness. But isn’t living an abundant and healthful life  worth caring for our bodies? You bet it is!</p>
<p>Let’s start by changing our usual approach to feeling good. Instead of reaching for pills, let’s take the time to determine what’s causing us stress, fatigue, boredom or misery. Let’s learn to pay attention to what our bodies are telling us.</p>
<p>After all, our bodies are the first to let us know if we’re neglecting them. We simply have to listen to their messages. Let’s engage in healthy approaches to dealing with our problems and find the best way to take care of ourselves.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a href="http://www.healthlady.com/articles/do-we-really-need-another-diet-book/attachment/diet-book/" rel="attachment wp-att-11563"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11563" title="diet book" src="http://www.healthlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/diet-book-125x125.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>Simply stated, &#8220;No</strong>, we don&#8217;t need another diet book!&#8221; But, then, how do we stay fit and healthy? . . .

<p><span id="more-11562"></span></p>

<p>I know this program works because I&#8217;ve spent a good part of my life studying holistic nutrition. In fact, I became a nutritional health consultant over 15 years ago because I have a passion for health, and I want to see you healthy and enjoying life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><a rel="attachment wp-att-11555" href="http://www.healthlady.com/articles/are-food-addictions-and-food-cravings-running-your-life-%e2%80%a8and-ruining-your-health/attachment/food-cravings/"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-11555" title="food cravings" src="http://www.healthlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/food-cravings-125x125.jpg" alt="" width="125" height="125" /></a>Here&#8217;s a quick test to see if you have a food addiction:</strong></p>
<p>•    Do you eat even when you&#8217;re not hungry?<br />
•    Do you continue to eat foods that you know are unhealthy for your body?<br />
•    Do you turn to food when you&#8217;re upset, depressed, or stressed?<br />
•    Do you eat inordinate amounts of food and then feel guilty about it later?</p>
<p>If you answered &#8220;yes&#8221; to any of the above questions, then you may be addicted to food.</p>
<p><span id="more-11554"></span></p>
<p>A food addict is someone who is obsessed with food and who has lost control over their eating habits. And, although you may picture food addicts as being overweight, in reality, they can look just like you or me.</p>
<p>They can be any weight, and any age, race, or gender.</p>
<p><strong>Food cravings,</strong> on the other hand, are a less severe form of food addiction. The person who craves a particular food isn&#8217;t so much obsessed with it but has an intense desire for it, which is hard to resist.</p>
<p>Sometimes, the very foods we eat are often what create our cravings and addictions for these foods. Take, for example, junk foods and overly processed foods that contain sugars, simple carbohydrates, and starches.</p>
<p>These foods typically have a high fat and sugar content and are loaded with chemicals, not to mention calories. These are the types of foods that are known to affect the brain in ways that trigger food addictions.</p>
<p>The good news is that you can help to eliminate food addictions and cravings by detoxifying your body of the harmful chemicals and substances that are causing you to want them, again and again. Detox your body  is a great way to release the build-up of toxins, mucus, and sludge that form in the body when you eat acidic foods.</p>
<p>Yes, foods such as <strong>pastas, breads</strong>, <strong>dairy products, chocolat</strong>e, and<strong> refined sugars</strong> are extremely acidic, and many are common food allergens.</p>
<p>Their ongoing consumption can create food addictions that result in life-long health problems, including premature aging, disease, and elevated blood sugar levels.</p>
<p><strong>Remember</strong>, beating food addictions and food cravings starts with changing your behavior.</p>
<p>You have to break away from the foods that are holding you captive, and that includes cleansing your system from the inside out through an effective juice fast.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s not hard to do this through the <a href="http://healthlady.com/detox-program">Fat Burning Detox Program</a>. Why? Because this program is a holistic life plan that addresses your physical, mental, and emotional health . . . and that&#8217;s the way to beat food addictions, emotional eating, and food cravings!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a rel="attachment wp-att-11048" href="http://www.healthlady.com/articles/juice-detoxing-a-great-way-to-prepare-for-the-holidays/attachment/juice2/"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-11048" title="juice2" src="http://www.healthlady.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/juice2.jpg" alt="" width="174" height="289" /></a>Now that fall has arrived, we&#8217;re beginning to look toward the holidays and all the festivities associated with them. This means planning for parties and lots of special meals with our families and loved ones. And, it also likely means lots of overeating or, at a minimum, eating the wrong types of foods.</p>
<p>So, what better time to strengthen your regular health regimen than by adding juice detoxing to your routine. In fact, why not start today with a<strong> one-day, three-day, or seven-day juice cleanse? </strong></p>
<p><strong>Juice detoxing is a simple, inexpensive,</strong> and effective way to promote physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.</p>
<p><span id="more-11047"></span></p>
<p>It involves extracting the juices from raw fruits and vegetables that are alive with enzymes and other nutrients, and that work at a cellular level to keep the body in balance.</p>
<p>And, juice detoxing is a powerful cleansing machine that acts like a scrub brush to rid our internal organs of toxic buildup, dead and damaged cells, and other foreign materials.</p>
<p>And speaking of toxic substances, what types of foods do we normally consume during the holidays? We tend to eat abundant meals that include generous servings of meat, poultry, and seafood.</p>
<p>And we consume side dishes that include mashed potatoes, rich gravies, bread, or rice.</p>
<p>Add to that our favorite desserts, and top it off with an array of alcoholic beverages. Does this sound like foods you normally consume during the holidays?</p>
<p>As much as we enjoy holiday eating, these foods are often filled with substances that are toxic to our bodies, like highly processed sugars, white flour, and artificial sweeteners; and growth hormones, antibiotics, and drugs, in the case of meat and poultry dishes.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s worse, many of these ingredients contain common allergens like wheat, dairy, eggs, gluten, and food additives.</p>
<p>Basically, when you consume foods you’re allergic to, your immune system sees them as  hostile invaders that need to be eliminated.</p>
<p>The immune system responds to these invaders by producing antibodies, which, in turn, trigger an inflammatory response.</p>
<p>The problem is that inflammation can cause tissue damage, respiratory ailments, and gastrointestinal issues, not to mention pain. And, when you continue to eat foods that cause allergic reactions, you continue to weaken your immune system and impact its ability to fight bacteria and viruses.</p>
<p>That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s so important to eliminate these foods from your system as quickly as possible; and, juice detoxing is the perfect solution!</p>
<p>Juice detoxing is an efficient and effective way to cleanse your body of toxic substances and pollutants that you ingest, inhale, and absorb.</p>
<p>These harmful substances not only include the refined sugars, starches, and saturated fats that you&#8217;ll likely consume during the holidays (or any time), but also allergens that may be compromising your health.</p>
<p>Allergy symptoms can actually diminish during a juice detox and have been known to completely disappear. Juice detoxing is an all-around tool for healing the body. It gives the digestive tract time to rest and repair.</p>
<p>It helps detoxify the liver. And, it supplies the body with a full spectrum of vitamins and nutrients to keep it vital and strong.</p>
<p>Integrate juice detoxing into your wellness regimen today, and you&#8217;ll not only be ready for this coming holiday, but for all the holidays and special events in your life!</p>
