If you have been taking loads and loads of herbal nutrition supplements to regulate your immune and digestive systems, you should know that there are other ways to stay healthy. Many people take herbal nutrition supplements to put good bacteria into the body. These herbal nutrition supplements are called probiotics. The good news is that a natural replacement can be found at your local grocery store.

Some yogurts, such as Dannon’s Activia and Yo Plus contain probiotics, so if you consume them on a regular basis, there will be no need to continue to take herbal nutrition supplements that put good bacteria in the body. Some yogurts, like Stoneyfield products are made organically, and with no antibiotics to ensure that all of the beneficial cultures remain in the product. Not just their yogurts are made by this method. All of their milk products undergo the same process, so even things like their sour cream are better for your body. (more…)

Do you find yourself sometimes thinking that you wish you could have curves like Beyonce? Are you envious of how great she looks in her dresses on the red carpet? If you answered yes to these questions, I have got good news for you. Beyonce told the world how it is that she dropped twenty pounds in just two weeks to achieve that polished red carpet look for her role in Dream Girls. She was on the lemonade diet.
The lemonade diet consists of fasting for one to two weeks to remove toxins that originate from stress, caffeine, junk food, alcohol, and carbonated beverages. The lemonade diet mixture is actually really easy to make. The only thing it basically requires is lemons, maple syrup, cayenne pepper and a high water intake!
This lemonade diet is not an easy thing to do, especially if you really love to eat. You do not have to worry about being hungry while you are doing this, but you may miss the habit of eating. As long as you only use the cleansing lemonade for the recommended time, you will be just fine other than being tempted by the foods around you. (more…)

The Colon Cleaning Experience

This was my very first colonic, and I was extremely nervous. Do not get me wrong. I was excited about the idea of a colon detox, but the actual procedure made me nervous. Being partially naked around a stranger is not exactly comfortable. When I entered the office, I waited a few minutes until the assistant was ready for me. When ready, she walked me to an isolated room, gave me a gown and gave me some privacy. I fumbled with my clothing and hastily put on the gown. The gown was very similar to the kind nurses give you while completing a medical exam. In other words, my rear was exposed. Even more appropriate for a colon detox, I thought.

My assistant knocked on the door momentarily. She came in and asked me to lie down. She then proceeded to make small talk in an effort to tone down the awkwardness of getting a colon cleanser. The most difficult part was next. (more…)
