The scientists don't know why but they can measure the results.

Drink 2 cups of beetroot juice a day to effectively lower you blood pressure.

• It only takes 1 hour for the effect to be measurable
• The effect lasts up to 24 hours.
• The peak is 3-4 hours after intake.

The power food beetroot has many more great health benefits:

1. It is oaded with flavenoid antioxidants
2. It has cleansing and detoxifying properties
3. It is full of nutrients
4. It is a rich source of folic acid, which is not only crucial during pregnancy it also protects our hearts.
5. It contains the mineral silica, which helps the body utilize calcium

Only 4 ounces of raw beetroot will give you 20% of you RDI of anti-oxidant and 50% of your RDI of folic acid.

Pickled beetroot has lost half of its folic acid but it still contains anti-oxidants.

In the meantime you watch this regular YouTube video on cotton candy going organic.

Don't make the mistake of thinking that organic cotton candy is good for you.

But we all need a treat every now and then. I think that you have come along way when you accept that and focus on finding good treats that contain natural ingredients and Pure Fun Cotton Candy sounds like one.

The time for a 100 crunches a day is finally over.

A Spanish research team has found that certain types of food actually removes belly fat. It removes not only the visual fat that we see on our stomachs but also the dangerous fat around our intestines.

Surprisingly, the food is:

Fat

Mono unsaturated fats

Who would have thought that fat would hold the key to a fat stomach. So don't worry about low fat anymore go for right fat instead.

One thing about foods that are high in mono unsaturated fats is that they are great as snacks. Always keep a bag of raw nuts in your purse, your car and your office drawer. Munch on marinated olives in front of the TV. And eat avocados and guacamole as often as you can.

Here are ideas for 7 days of flat tummy snacks. Eat them during the day or in the evening, maybe in front of the TV.
Snacking is healthy! Just watch what you snack on.

7 days of healthy snacks:

• Monday: ½ cup of peanuts and 1 apple
• Tuesday: Rye bread and mashed avocado (mash the avocado with a fork and spread on your sandwich)
• Wednesday: Herring on whole wheat toast topped with halved cherry tomatoes
• Thursday: 1/2 cup of pistachio nuts and 1 banana
• Friday: Marinated olives, your favorite raw nuts and some cucumber pickles.
• Saturday: Baby carrots with guacamole dip. Try Leslie's recipe with great instructions.
• Sunday: Flat stomach smoothie: ½ cup of natural yogurt, 200 grams frozen berries, ½ banana, 1 tablespoon rolled oats, 4 cup of your favorite juice, a pinch of natural vanilla.

If you are very serious about getting a flat tummy fast you might want to look at your whole diet. I suggest that you follow these flat tummy diet guidelines:

1. Eat plenty of mono unsaturated fats
• Olives and olive oil
• Avocado and avocado oil
• Oats
• Raw nuts
• Linseeds and linseed oil
• Sesame seeds and sesame seed oil
• Herring
2. Choose whole grain products. The dietary fibers will ensure a good digestion and remove bloating
3. Eat as much fresh fruits and vegetables as you can. They will give you plenty of nutrients without a lot of calories
4. Add some meat and fish to provide you with proteins to give you a full feeling.
5. Avoid sugar, white flour, white rice and alcohol.

Summer is around the corner and we’ll all want to walk around in sandals and flip-flops. But your feet might not be so pretty after being cramped in warm boots all winter.

To get rid of cracked heels follow this natural formula couple of times a week or even everyday:

1. Soak your feet in hot water with few drops of honey
2. Carefully dry your feet
3. Moisturize your feet using 1 teaspoon of Vaseline and the juice of one lemon.

Now who do we trust?

I just read that the Attorney General of California has filed a lawsuit against:

• Avalon Natural
• Whole Foods Market California
• Beaumont Products
• Nutribiotic

This because they have failed to give clear and reasonable warning of the presence of 1,4-Dioxane in their products.

Under the states Proposition 65 consumer products should not expose consumers to chemicals known to the state to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity without giving clear and reasonable warning. And when adding 1,4-Dioxane in their products Avalon Natural and the others failed to follow the law.

Is 1,4-Dioxane bad?

Water containing 1,4-dioxane causes cancer in lab rats.

Studies in animals have shown that skin contact with 1,4-dioxane can result in liver and kidney damage.

Even big companies that market themselves an natural and better are not to be trusted.

I always thought that natural meant existing in or formed by nature -not artificial.

But the industry standard has become that natural is any ingredient derived from something natural. Derived with a synthetic process. They can make "natural" vanilla aroma from cow dung. I wish natural could be not artificial and stop having to feel like I need to check and double check everything I buy.
