If you are really ready to make some positive changes in your life and overall health in 2010, start with a great detoxification program! As toxins play a huge role in overall health and disease, it is critical before embarking on any New Year's plan to "blitz" your body and give it a clean slate! (If your body is already in ill health, make sure your adrenals are well supported and check with your doctor in advance.)
There are many great detoxification protocols you can follow, but the best incorporate many techniques including some kind of infection control, immune system building, foot baths, sauna treatments and internal cleansing. We are currently reviewing several detoxification protocols and products, and will keep you posted on our best recommendations.
Once you have selected a detox protocol to follow, make sure to follow up with a good maintenance program that includes eating well with whole, rich organic foods, and begin working in a mild to moderate exercise program that suits your specific interests. Don't leave out nourishing your spirit and mind as well! A healthy, positive mindset is a key to healing and overall good health.
Until next time, drink lots of pure alkaline water, and make positive choices that will ultimately benefit your long term good health!

How to Minimize Stress during the Holidays
The Holidays are such a wonderful time of year to be thankful for our many blessings and celebrate with our family and friends. At the same time, many of us may be dealing with stressors concerning our jobs, business, economy or personal relationships. Especially at this time of the year, it is important that we take extra measures to minimize stressors and maximize potential!
The following simple truths speak to a natural way to better health and coping with stress that we CAN control:
1. Drink plenty of pure water and make sure your PH is balanced.
2. Learn to relax and get plenty of rest! Some simple ways I have learned to relax include:
- 4:6 it! "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known by God" Phil 4:6.
- Practice mindfulness and enjoy the present moment. Take time outs throughout the day.
- Practice relaxation breathing techniques
- Be thankful for all the blessings you have every day!
- Laugh and be joyful
- Listen to music
- Get to bed on time!
3. Eat properly -- make living foods such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc. the staples of your diet. Also, enjoy "power snacks" and eat 5 -- 6 small portions throughout the day to speed up your metabolism and burn body fat more efficiently.
4. Exercise -- it is important to incorporate exercise into your life, even if it is 30 min 3-5 times a week. Pick an exercise you enjoy, or just walk.
5. Detox -- one of the most important KEYS to good health is detoxification! Detoxification also supports a healthy immune system. Some key points for detoxification include:
a. Use an herbal--fiber bowel restorer to encourage normal colon function.
b. Supplement with digestive enzymes and probiotics.
c. Lose excess fat as it is where toxins hide. (look into body wraps!)
d. Support liver and kidney function with Greens and a whole food based that includes herbs and milk thistle.
e. Regularly utilize ionic footbaths, infrared sauna therapy and body wraps for ultimate toxic relief.
6. Supplement -- even when we eat well, our bodies do not get everything they need from food alone. Supplement with a good whole food based natural multivitamin! nutrients to function.
7. Get plenty of fresh air and sunshine!
The valuable equation to take away is that detoxification+balancing the immune system = good health. Maintaining optimum health is the best way to prepare for and deal with stressors and disease, and to perform at your optimum level.

Eat MORE to Lose Inches.
That’s Right...food can be your friend! When, how often and what you eat can rev up your metablolic engine. It is physically impossible to shed body fat when you are starving yourself, so choosing nutritionally balanced and healthy meals is fundamental to fat loss.
To turn your body into a fat burning machine, eat small frequent meals spread throughout the day. Meals consisting of real, raw whole foods INCREASE thermogeneis. Thermogenics is the heat produced from the metabolism of food. Certain foods definitely have a higher thermic effect than others so choosing wisely will actually tap into your stored fat and burn more calories (ONLY if you are not starving yourself)!
Fat loss can be confusing for sure and is not easy..it takes commitment and hard work. It is all about choices! The results in the end are well worth the effort.

How to Implement a Detoxification Program that Complements Body Wraps
Detoxification is one of the most important keys to achieving good health, and in a healthy body is a natural ongoing process. Detoxification is handled by many of our internal systems and helps to eliminate or neutralize anything that could be potentially harmful to our body tissue. It improves health and also stimulates fast inch loss since toxins can be a huge barrier to weight loss.
Sometimes, due to poor eating habits, too many pollutants, and overall imbalance our bodies need to be cleansed and replenished with some help from us. Using body wraps can be an extremely effective way to help your body detoxify. There are also additional detoxification methods you can incorporate to complement the positive effects of the body wrap.
1. Use an herbal-fiber bowel restorer to encourage normal colon function. If your colon is sluggish, or if you have excess "bad" bacteria in the colon, extra toxins and gas will be created.
2. Supplement with digestive enzymes and probiotics. Probiotics are the "good" bacteria that help us fight off disease, product vitamins, metabolize hormones, nourish new cells and produce enzymes that help with food digestions.
3. Lose excess fat as that is where toxins hide. You can start losing weight by improving your eating habits and beginning a regular exercise routine. For immediate site specific inch loss consider using body wraps.
4. Support liver and kidney function and proper PH balance with Greens and a whole food based natural multivitamin that includes herbs and milk thistle. Your liver and kidneys are responsible for much of your body's natural detoxification process. Toxic overload can place stress on these organs.
5. Consider utilizing ionic footbaths and infrared sauna therapy along with body wraps for ultimate toxic relief. These all effectively remove toxins from your body.
Remember that natural herbal body wraps are an essential part of a detoxification program. With the body wraps, you will see fast inch loss, smoother and toned skin and cellulite improvement in the areas where the wrap is placed. Another side benefit of body wraps is that seeing the immediate results you get from them will give you with the desire to live the healthier lifestyle that supports their benefits!

Alternative Fat and Cellulite Loss Treatments
It seems that everywhere you turn now there is a great new bodysculpting or anti aging technique offered to attract the person who wants fast fat loss results without invasive surgical procedures! It is important for anyone who is considering such a procedure to be well informed before making a decision.
One of the very best things anyone can do to assist in overall fat and cellulite loss is to eat whole, natural foods, keep active and drink plenty of water! Having said that, not everyone feels they have the time or ability to do that (although with some simple changes it can become a part of your every day lifestyle).
• Lipodissolve and Mesotherapy are non surgical treatments that help destroy fat cells and improve appearance of cellulite. Lipodissolve contains additional “fat reducing” properties (including a soy lecithin substance) and Mesotherapy contains more vitamins and herbs. Through a delivery process of tiny needle injections, the treatments help to metabolize fat tissues that are then naturally excreted through your system. The procedure can sometimes be uncomfortable but results can be good. Down time with some bruising is about 2 weeks, and 6-10 treatments are recommended to start seeing results. Average prices range from $350-$700 per treatment.
• Liposuction is the surgical removal of pockets of fat to contour an area of the body and is performed under local anesthesia. A tube is inserted through an incision in the skin and fat tissue is suctioned out. There are several risks associated with the procedure that one should educate themselves on. There is bruising and discomfort associated with this procedure and patients should allow 2 weeks of down time. Mesotherapy is sometimes used afterwards to correct any lumpiness. Costs for liposuction range from $1400-$7000+ depending on the part of the body you are focusing on.
• The Ultimate Applicator is an herbal topical treatment that naturally breaks down fat cells and heals cellulite. It is a gel covered cloth that is easily applied and worn for a minimum of 45 minutes but can be worn overnight. The person is encouraged to drink lots of water to help mobilize the toxins. It is recommended a person wrap every 72 hours using the complementary Gel product 2x a day in between. While most people see immediate inch loss, a full body makeover can be realized in 30 to 90 days using a bottle of Gel and a couple of boxes of wraps each month. Cost for Gel is as low as $38 per month and for The Ultimate Applicator is as low as $49 for a box of 4 wraps on the Customer Loyal Program.
