<p>There is a reason why essential oils have stayed popular, both in the United States and abroad, for such a long time: They really work. Whether it is for health reasons (such as using eucalyptus oil to relieve sinus congestion) or for household care (like spritzing a room with oil of rosemary to disinfect it), the ways to use essential oil are virtually limitless.

<p>There is a reason why essential oils have stayed popular, both in the United States and abroad, for such a long time: They really work. Whether it is for health reasons (such as using eucalyptus oil to relieve sinus congestion) or for household care (like spritzing a room with oil of rosemary to disinfect it), the ways to use essential oil are virtually limitless. Most people tend to discover just a few essential oils that they like and stick with them. However, there is also a lot to be said for trying out new oils, especially really versatile ones like lemongrass. Most fans of Thai cuisine will recognize lemongrass as being essential to many dishes from this area, and its wonderfully sweet and lemony oil has some pretty amazing uses for health and home. Some of the best uses are discussed below.</p>
<h2>Muscle relaxer</h2>
<p>Rubbing essential oil of lemongrass into muscles that are tired, sore or even in spasm (like a Charlie horse) can help to quickly relax and unknot those muscles and help to relieve the pain and discomfort they can bring.</p>
<h2>Headache reliever</h2>
<p>Applying a little oil of lemongrass to the temples or forehead for a headache is a soothing and rather quick remedy for this problem. It is particularly useful if the headache is caused by sinusitis, allergies or hay-fever.</p>
<h2>Acne treatment</h2>
<p>Acne is the bane of teenagers everywhere – but not to worry! Adding a drop or two of lemongrass oil to a carrier like almond oil and applying it to the affected area can help to relive this problem due to its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.</p>
<h2>Antibacterial cleanser</h2>
<p>For a natural way to kill off bacteria and disinfect the home, add lemongrass oil to products already in use. This will not only leave the home smell fresh and lemony, it will also make it cleaner and safer due to its strong anti-microbial properties.</p>
<h2>Insect repellant</h2>
<p>If mosquitoes, ticks or other pests are a problem around the home or garden, consider making a natural insect repellent. This can be done by diluting lemongrass oil in a carrier like almond or olive oil and applying it directly to exposed portions of the skin.</p>
<h2>Flea repellant for dogs</h2>
<p>Adding lemongrass essential oil to a bandana or a collar of a dog can help to naturally repel the fleas that can drive a dog – and his owner – crazy! Be sure to not use this on cats without talking to the vet first, as cats are more sensitive to essential oils than dogs are.</p>
<p>So consider adding <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/lemongrass.html">lemongrass</a> essential oil to the your home care kit today. While it is not as widely known in the West as it is in the East, this excellent oil has many uses for both health and the home that make more than worth the while to purchase.</p>

<p>With most gluttonous holidays behind people start to evaluate their current state of health. This is a popular time for people to reach for the “detox in a box” in the hopes that the heaviness, bloating, and generally icky feelings go away.</p>
<p>But rather than going that route or doing something radical that could cause too much “shift” in the body, why not employ a more gentler detox that is way more enjoyable? Try these six methods and watch how much better you feel at the end!</p>
<p><a href="http://govtslaves.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Waterfall.jpg"><img class=" size-full wp-image-45031 aligncenter" src="http://govtslaves.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/Waterfall.jpg" alt="Waterfall" width="650" height="370"/></a></p>
<h2>Spring water with lemon and cranberry</h2>
<p>Spring water is easily the most important factor in a proper detox. It is exceptionally hydrating, mineralizing, and full of oxygen. Drinking 8-10 glasses a day is a nice general recommendation to help flush the system of any unwanted toxins.</p>
<p>Add the juice of 1 lemon and 1-2 ounces of pure cranberry juice to 1 liter of water, and drink 2 of these concoctions a day. If some sweetness is required, use a reputable brand of stevia.</p>
<h2>Grounding</h2>
<p>Grounding is quite simply based on research that connection to the earth’s electrical energy promotes physical well-being. This can be achieved by touching bare skin (such as your feet and hands) to grass, sand, soil, and even concrete (provided it is not sealed or painted).</p>
<p>Grounding can relieve many health conditions, including poor sleep, energy problems, hormonal issues, stress, inflammation, and gastrointestinal problems. It is one of the cheapest way to gently detox!</p>
<h2>Juice</h2>
<p>Juicing can help flush many of the body’s systems of toxins and provide the body with plenty of nutrients and enzymes to optimize many different functions in the <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/body.html">body</a>. The key to juicing for optimal health is to limit the sugar content and incorporate more vegetables than fruit.</p>
<p>Consider things like green apples, limes, lemons, kale, cucumber, celery, parsley, cilantro, carrot, peppermint, ginger and turmeric. This will keep the juice low in sugar, and will invigorate all of the bodily systems.</p>
<h2>Kefir</h2>
<p>When attempting to detox the digestive system and liver, it is a good idea to opt for kefir that is not from dairy. Choose coconut or water kefir instead, so the body can more easily digest the beneficial probiotics and enzymes, without the milk proteins that can exacerbate digestive distress.</p>
<p>Kefir can have a remarkable effect on digestion and the liver, and a couple ounces a day is all one needs to typically see some benefits.</p>
<h2>Rebounding</h2>
<p>Another important part to doing a proper detox is encouraging lymphatic flow. Since it does not have its own pump, lymph needs to be moved manually, that is, from movement of the body.</p>
<p>The easiest low impact way to encourage lymphatic flow is rebounding. For 10-15 minutes a day, one can stimulate the lymphatic system and encourage it to remove toxins from the cells and safely out of the body.</p>
<h2>Infrared sauna</h2>
<p>Unlike traditional saunas that use air and steam, infrared saunas emit a radiant heat that is absorbed directly into the body. This makes it much more efficient in removing toxins with an estimated 80 percent <a href="http://www.naturalnews.com/water.html">water</a> and 20 percent waste and toxin removal, as opposed to 97 percent water and 3 percent waste and toxin in a traditional steam sauna. Infrared saunas are non-invasive and can penetrate as much as three inches into the body, which helps eliminate all kinds of toxins.</p>
<p>If the goal this year is to merely survive by indulging then detoxing, then herbal detox kits may be the perfect fit. However, if the goal is to make better overall choices that can detoxify you 24-7, then<a href="http://www.thrivehealthprogram.com/">consider this DIY health program.</a></p>

<p>Hiding a hangover in ancient Egypt would’ve taken some work. Rather than popping an ibuprofen for a pounding drunken headache, people in Egypt may have worn a leafy necklace.</p>
<p>That’s according to a newly translated and published papyrus written in Greek with the recipe for <a href="http://www.livescience.com/36934-interesting-facts-hangovers-causes-prevention.html">a “drunken headache” cure</a>. The alcohol victim would have strung together leaves from a shrub called Alexandrian chamaedaphne (<em>Ruscus racemosus</em> L.), possibly wearing the strand around the neck, the text revealed.</p>
<p>Though people in the ancient world believed Alexandrian chamaedaphne could ease a headache, whether the cure really worked, let alone on a drunken headache, is unknown.</p>
<p><strong>Largest collection of medical papyri</strong></p>
<p>The 1,900-year-old papyrus containing the hangover <a id="itxthook1" class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://www.livescience.com/50544-ancient-hangover-cure-discovered.html" rel="nofollow" name="itxthook1"><span id="itxthook1w" class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan">treatment</span><img id="itxthook1icon" class="itxtrst itxtrstimg itxthookicon" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png" alt=""/></a> is one of over 500,000 such documents found in the ancient Egyptian town of Oxyrhynchus by researchers Bernard Grenfell and Arthur Hunt about a century ago.</p>
<p>The study and publication of so many papyri is a long and slow task that has been going on for a century. Recently, volume 80 was published, containing studies and decipherments of about 30 medical papyri found at Oxyrhynchus, including the papyrus with the hangover treatment.</p>
<p>This newly published volume represents “the largest single collection of medical papyri to be published,” wrote Vivian Nutton, a professor at University College London, at the beginning of the volume. The collection includes medical treatises and <a id="itxthook2" class="itxtnewhook itxthook" href="http://www.livescience.com/50544-ancient-hangover-cure-discovered.html" rel="nofollow" name="itxthook2"><span id="itxthook2w" class="itxtrst itxtrstspan itxtnowrap itxtnewhookspan">treatments</span><img id="itxthook2icon" class="itxtrst itxtrstimg itxthookicon" src="http://images.intellitxt.com/ast/adTypes/icon1.png" alt=""/></a> for a wide variety of ailments, including <a href="http://www.livescience.com/34734-hemorrhoid-symptoms-treatment-causes.html">hemorrhoids</a>, ulcers, tooth problems and even some fragments discussing eye surgery.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The world seems to be divided on medicines… There are the medicines your doctor recommends, and ‘alternative’ medicines. Doctors typically recommend ‘patent’ medicines (although they might not use that name). Some doctors promote ‘natural medicines’, others prefer ‘Chinese medicines’, others like ‘traditional’ medicines. It seems there are many different types of medicine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Even the FDA is roped into this argument, trying to define alternative medicines in a ‘draft guidance’ on Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and their Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The draft was crated in 2006. But it is still a draft 7 years later. Why? I believe it’s still a draft because there is no legitimate way for the FDA to discriminate between what they call “conventional” and what they call “alternative” medicines. It’s even more of a problem for them when some medicines jump back and forth across the gap. Vitamin C, for example, is a conventional medicine when a doctor prescribes it for scurvy, but when he recommends it to prevent colds, it’s an alternative medicine.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">Just what are ‘alternative’ medicines anyway?</h2>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span id="more-27104"></span></strong></p>
<div style="float: left; margin: 5px 5px 5px 0;"><ins style="display: inline-table; border: none; height: 250px; margin: 0; padding: 0; xg-p: relative; visibility: visible; width: 300px;"><ins id="aswift_0_anchor" style="display: block; border: none; height: 250px; margin: 0; padding: 0; xg-p: relative; visibility: visible; width: 300px;"></ins></ins></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Alternative medicines and alternative treatments are often discussed on television, on the radio, on the internet. Many people claim that alternative medicines don’t work, in fact a few people make a living arguing that alternative medicines don’t work. But the truth is simpler and more complicated.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First, the simple fact….</p>
<h6 style="text-align: left;">Alternative medicines do not exist.</h6>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is no clear classification called “alternative” medicine.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">There is no way for the FDA to honestly distinguish between conventional and alternative medicines, because that’s the wrong question. No patient cares if the medicine is conventional or alternative – we care if it works. No honest doctor cares if it is conventional or alternative – if it is the best medicine for their patient.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For illnesses where we know the correct treatment, there are no alternatives because we know the correct treatment. The correct treatment is to directly address the cause. If you are deficient in Vitamin C, take Vitamin C as your medicine. If you are toxic with alcohol, reduce or stop your intake of alcohol. Both of those medical treatments directly address the cause of the illness – no other treatment does. Taking painkillers because you are deficient in Vitamin C might make you feel better, but it won’t address the illness. Drinking coffee might only help you to drink enough alcohol to kill yourself.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">For illnesses where we don’t know the correct treatment, all treatments are ‘alternatives’. For chronic illnesses, like heart disease, multiple sclerosis and obesity, we usually don’t know the correct treatment. No treatment works in every case. No treatment works ‘best’. We need to choose from the alternatives.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Alternatives exist when you need to make a choice. Alternatives exist when your doctor and the medical establishments are NOT able to agree on and recommend the correct treatment. Or when no correct treatment exists. In some cases, no correct treatment can exist.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You might think that your doctor ‘always recommends the best treatment’. But in many cases, your doctor has no idea what is the ‘best treatment’. Chronic illness has no clearly known ‘best treatment’ and no ‘correct treatment’, by definition. If there was a known correct treatment, it would no longer be a chronic illness.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">When the correct treatment is not known, all treatments are “alternatives”, whether they are patent medicines, conventional medicines, traditional medicines, herbal medicines, natural medicines, acupuncture, physiotherapy, even placebos, hugs and kisses, or any other type of medicine. Even ‘wait and see’ is sometimes an important medical alternative.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The Alternative Medicine Myth, that ‘There are official medicines and alternative medicines’, is a myth.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">The phrase “alternative medicine” is not about the medicine, it is about the illness <a href="http://wakeup-world.com/2013/05/31/the-alternative-medicines-myth/" target="_blank">Source and more...</a></h2> Why Is Natural The Alternative?tag:12160.info,2013-08-15:2649739:Topic:12889272013-08-15T06:17:13.253ZMaria De Windhttps://12160.info/profile/MariaDeWind

<p style="text-align: justify;"><em>It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society. – J. Krishnamurti</em></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Wikipedia defines <a title="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_medicine" target="_blank">Alternative Medicine</a> as follows:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“In Western culture, <strong>alternative medicine</strong> is any healing practice “that does not fall within the realm of conventional medicine“, or “that which has not been shown consistently to be effective.” It is often opposed to evidence based medicine and encompasses therapies with a historical or cultural, rather than a scientific, basis.”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Excuse me, but who says? What a bunch of arrogant subjectivity. And where are these “conventions” held that define everything “conventional”? And who are they?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span id="more-11399"></span></strong></p>
<div style="float: left; margin: 5px 5px 5px 0;"><ins style="display: inline-table; border: none; height: 250px; margin: 0; padding: 0; xg-p: relative; visibility: visible; width: 300px;"><ins id="aswift_0_anchor" style="display: block; border: none; height: 250px; margin: 0; padding: 0; xg-p: relative; visibility: visible; width: 300px;"></ins></ins></div>
<p style="text-align: justify;">First of all, “they” rarely test natural medicines, supplements, herbal remedies or holistic healing techniques. They’re not interested. Therefore there are very few “approved” scientific studies. And who authorizes and pays for those studies?–or “approves” medicines and treatments? You guessed it–the same people that have absolutely no interest in the success of natural medicines or techniques.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">They cut into their share of the pie, which they think is ALL theirs.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">This is why cures for major diseases like cancer seem so elusive in spite of billions invested in their cures–there’s a LOT more money in people being sick while the research and big pharma industries boom as they are. Greed and control rule.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Remember:</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">“All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.” Arthur Schopenhauer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Today’s “alternative” is the existing, natural solution.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Just look at the genius of <a title="Royal Raymond Rife" href="http://www.rense.com/health/rife.htm" target="_blank">Royal Rife’s</a> treatment for cancer and other diseases using electromagnetic light frequencies (which was taken from him and destroyed), or the simplicity of alkalizing and oxygenating the body for maximum health, similar to the anti-fungal approach to cancer–never mind common sense nutritional solutions. These are just a few simple examples of wonderful, simple, affordable, <strong>NATURAL</strong> and very powerfull–but repressed- “alternative” treatments that should be given all the funding, publicity and encouragement they can get!</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">But instead they are marginalized, stigmatized and discouraged by the MSNews and corporo-medical establishment.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">You’d think our ever-caring big brother government would be all over these breakthroughs and develop them. But no–just like <a title="Tesla Biography" href="http://www.teslasociety.com/biography.htm" target="_blank">Nicola Tesla</a>‘s free energy proposal, or thousands of other potentially society liberating breakthroughs, these non money-makers are squelched. I mean, if we had free energy, where would the coal and oil industry moguls be today? Do some of these people <em>really</em> want “alternatives”?</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Apparently “alternative” means anything that doesn’t fit some agenda of some sort.</strong> That’s why it’s important to be empowered and find out just what that agenda is, if we’re to understand this carefully constructed and increasingly controlled society we live in. There’s a lot of very good research out there; “Search, and ye shall find!”</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Let’s face it: “alternative” has become almost as stigmatized today as “conspiracy theory”. In fact, anything non-mainstream sleepy-town fear-everything pablum is getting very neatly lumped together as anti cooperation with the powers that be–leading straight to “anti-government”, “subversive”, and now unbelievably, a potential “terrorist threat” a category that knows no bounds, and for which <a title="Repeal the Military Commissions Act and Restore the Most American Human Right" href="http://www.commondreams.org/views07/0212-24.htm" target="_blank">habeas corpus</a> and <a title="U.S. Military To Assault U.S. Citizens: 1878 Posse Comitatus Act Destroyed" href="http://www.libertyforlife.com/law/posse_comitatus_destroyed.htm" target="_blank">posse comitatus</a> were effectually suspended under the “Patriot Act” and now taken to its complete fascist extreme in the NDAA.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">If you don’t want to take the vaccines, you’re a threat to the status quo, and soon might be breaking the law. If you don’t follow the new <a title="THE TRUTH ABOUT CODEX — AN INTERVIEW WITH PAUL ANTHONY TAYLOR" href="http://kevinpmiller.blogspot.com/2009/08/truth-about-codex-paul-anthony-taylor.html" target="_blank">codex alimentarius guidelines</a>, you’ll be in violation of international law - alrready being enacted in a once sovereign country near you. You criticize the government, visit “alternative” web sites, join a protest, are ex-military, or even have a Ron Paul bumper sticker, you’re suspect, and they’re now allowed to freely keep an eye on you, arrest you, detain you indefinitely without and trial, and even kill you.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Nice place. That’s why you can’t beileve a damn word they say.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>How Did This Happen?</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Political correctness and wrong education in our media-mesmerized fear-infused society are what allowed us to get here–and the vast majority didn’t even realize they were participating in their own indoctrination and subversion. That’s how these false notions take root and then they’re repeated and enforced by the unwitting participants. The best way to police a people is if they do it to themselves–ingrain it into society’s fabric as to what’s “right” and “wrong” and feed on our fear, insecurity and self-righteousness to “keep the status quo”.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">The end result? Today’s <a title="Top 12 Ways Big Brother Loves Us" href="http://members.beforeitsnews.com/story/1261/623/Top_11_Ways_Big_Brother_Loves_Us.html" target="_blank" class="broken_link">surveillance and snitch society.</a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Big pharma and most of the medical establishment have their own niche in all of this. While alternative medicine is gaining major headway among health conscious individuals fed up with being mugged and drugged by pharma-pushing corporate health interests, it continues to be marginalized, mocked and scorned by the establishment, emblazoning the “groupthink” masses with the impression that anyone entertaining such “non-scientific” foolishness ought to be wearing a tin foil hat. –Hey–maybe we should so we can meet and greet each other–:)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Besides, not a bad idea in this EMF pollution we live in.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">As a sad side note, besides passing every possible pro-pharma and GMO ruling they can, one example of the long arm of our dear FDA is how it stuck it’s dirty little fingers into Ecuador to coerce Interpol to literally kidnap and incarcerate <a title="Criminal FDA Gangsters Kidnap Greg Caton From Ecuador" href="http://www.rense.com/general88/fedkidnap.htm" target="_blank">“alternative” herbalist Greg Caton.</a></p>

<p>While seafood is usually touted as a health food high in omega-3 fatty acids helping boost brain and heart health, recent scathing reports paint a less desirable picture of America’s fish tainted with waste, chemicals, and antibiotics. Supermarket cases and restaurants make our seafood look presentable, but is it really safe to eat?</p>
<p>A recent Bloomberg Businessweek story reports unsanitary conditions for many Asian seafood exporters, along with government lagging in its ability to clean it up.</p>
<p>The 13 Worst U.S. Foodborne Illness Outbreaks</p>
<p>A Closer Look at Aquaculture</p>
<p>About 86 percent of our seafood is imported, and half of that is from aquaculture—fish farms. Most aquaculture imports are shrimp, tilapia, Atlantic salmon, and shellfish, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).</p>
<p>In Vietnam, shrimp is stored in dirty plastic tubs, covered in ice made from tap water that could be contaminated with bacteria. Vietnam ships more than 100 million pounds of shrimp to the United States each year or about 8 percent of all the shrimp we eat.</p>
<p>In China, many fish farms reportedly use pig manure as feed, which contains salmonella and makes tilapia more susceptible to disease.</p>
<p>In addition, “shrimp farms in South and Southeast Asia are essentially factory farms, with all that implies—including antibiotic overuse,” according to a Wired piece published earlier this year. Many of the antibiotics in these fish farms are banned for use in the U.S.</p>
<p>The 10 Worst Disease Outbreaks in U.S. History</p>
<p>FDA Only Tests Small Sample of Imports</p>
<p>While the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is responsible for ensuring the safety of our seafood, they may not be bringing their A-game to the task: Bloomberg reports that only 2.7 percent of all seafood imports are inspected by the FDA.</p>
<p>In 2008, FDA Deputy Director of Food Safety, Don Kraemer testified before Congress, summarizing the issue:</p>
<p>As the aquaculture industry continues to grow, concern about the use of unapproved drugs and unsafe chemicals in aquaculture operations has increased significantly. There is clear scientific evidence that the use of unapproved antibiotics and other drugs and chemicals, such as malachite green, nitrofurans, fluoroquinolones, and gentian violet, can result in the presence of residues in the edible portions of aquacultured seafood.</p>
<p>Even after this testimony, a 2011 GOA report found that the FDA tested about 0.1 percent of all imported seafood products for drug residues. To put this in perspective: out of 2.5 million metric tons of imported shrimp, the FDA tested only 34 samples for nitrofurans. Even worse: six of these samples came back positive.</p>
<p>The FDA also inspects processing facilities overseas, but that program too seems halfhearted at best. Only 1.5 percent of seafood facilities had been inspected, according to the GOA report.</p>
<p>Here’s a closer look at what it means for seafood-lovers.</p>
<p>The Impact of Tainted Fish And What to Do</p>
<p>A recent study by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said a quarter of the food-borne illness outbreaks from imported food involved seafood. That’s significantly more than the next food type on the list.</p>
<p>That doesn’t mean you should avoid seafood altogether. There are some steps you can take now to continue to enjoy safe, healthy fish and shrimp. Here are some tips:</p>
<p>The best course of action for consumers could be to avoid farmed fish. Look for sustainable seafood, wild caught, or eco-labeled.<br/> Don’t be afraid to ask your local seafood provider questions and create dialogue.<br/>
Use seafood guides to stay informed and make smart choices in your area.<br/>
Check out these organizations:</p>
<p>The INCOFISH Project has a summary of international seafood guides and a searchable database to look up seafood by name, country or continent.</p>
<p>The Seafood Choices Alliance works with conservation groups worldwide and offers seafood recommendation guides, aquaculture and fisheries resources and links to conservation organizations working on seafood and other issues.</p>
<p>The National Resources Defense Council offers a Sustainable Seafood Guide with tips for making smarter seafood choices.</p>

<p>We have been sold the idea of a low fat diet but guess what they replace the fat with? Lots and lots of sugar!</p>
<p>On a personal level I have looked at everything I eat recently and it's surprising just how much sugar is in everything and I mean EVERYTHING. I've managed to lose 35 pounds in only a few months without upping my exercise. Although exercise can help a bit I have found it cannot stem the tide of the sugary food we put in our mouths on a daily basis.</p>
<p>What helped me was knowing that 5 grams of sugar equates to around a tea-spoon of sugar. So you may get 40 grams of sugar in a small bottle of Cola, meaning of course you are eating 8 tea-spoons of sugar (or nearly 3 table spoons) in that one small drink.</p>
<p>Check every label for sugar. I've stuck to protein (meat based) meals and eaten veg and salad rather than fruit with them (even fruit is high in natural sugar). Try not to mix carbs with protein especially bread (high in sugar), rice and potatoes. You can have bacon and egg though, just without the bread.</p>
<p>Try not to snack inbetween meals (I have a low sugar cracker/wafer sometimes though if I am feeling empty)</p>
<p>Cut down on milk too for a week or so and watch the weight fly away!</p>

<p><span class="font-size-3">Did you know that cherries can lower levels of inflammation in the body drastically enough to actually alleviate arthritis symptoms and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease and diabetes? It doesn’t even take a super-powerful extract to feel the effect; powdered cherries alone have produced dramatic results.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">In at least one study, powdered cherry consumption actually led to a change in the functioning of inflammation-regulating genes in mice.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Cherries are also well known to help <strong>reverse gout</strong> — a condition caused by too much <em>uric acid</em>circulating in the blood.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">Like all dark-skinned fruits, cherries are high in antioxidants and other phytochemicals that promote human health in numerous ways. While sweet cherries may be more fun to eat, the most potent inflammation-fighting cherries are the tart variety.</span></p>
<p><span class="font-size-3">In addition to fighting inflammation and arthritis, cherries have also been found to fight gout, reduce body fat and lower levels of cholesterol.</span></p>
