Don’t we think that using antibacterial soap is the best way to kill germs and prevent infections? Apparently, this is wrong. Using antibacterial soap is harmful for our health! And here is why…

Antibacterial means just that ANTI-Bacterial! Using antibacterial soaps kills both the good and the bad bacteria, which destroys our bodies’ natural protection. We all host beneficial bacteria on our skin, in our mouth, and in our intestines. They protect us against disease-causing germs. Regular soap does not affect the beneficial bacteria. It just removes dirt and grease that attract harmful bacteria.

That was yesterday. Today, my further Internet research showed that any kind of soap is bad for the environment and the humans. But, what should we use instead?

For your skin: Look for natural plant based soaps that are not toxic and have a nice scent. I love Kiss My Face products like:

Kiss My Face Sudz Organic Bar Soap In The Pink 8 oz: Grapefruit and Lemongrass scented. A natural vegetable based soap that’s creamy rich lathering and preservative free. Very gently exfoliates and cleanses with natural Alpha Hydroxy Acids in a certified organic base ofpure Palm Oil and Glycerin.

Kiss My Face Sudz Organic Bar Soap C-Weed 8 oz: An effective blend of Vitamin C and Beta Carotene in a certified organic base of pure Palm Oil and Glycerin.

For your home: Vinegar is a natural disinfectant, and it is non-toxic. When you mix the vinegar and the baking soda you will see it fuzz up. This super mix will help you to get rid of even the toughest stains.  Cleaning your home with the vinegar and the baking soda will make it spotless and hypoallergenic.

As always: stay healthy,

The first sign of obstructed lymph system are the swollen lymph nodes. Because the lymph system is the foundation of the immune system, to most of us this usually happens in the spring when our immunity is low. So, it is advisable to complete your lymph cleanse in the spring.

Why does the lymph system gets obstructed? When we eat food, nutrients get digested and every cell in the body receives its portion. As the cells process these nutrients some waste is created. The lymphatic fluids clean up this waste. At the same time, the lymph nodes filter out bacteria, microorganisms, dead cells, and other unwanted substances. Unfortunately, our bodies have a plenty of dangerous substances, which can block the lymph nodes, decreasing the body’s ability to resist diseases.

Allergy Research’s Lymph-Immune™ 75Vcaps is an effective lymph cleansing product. It contains a combination of traditional Chinese herbs and other nutrients designed to promote healthy lymphatic drainage and cleansing.

If you have tried Lymph-Immune, please leave a comment for everyone to know how it worked for you.

Stay healthy,

Today I have found this video about the long term study into three different diets. The results were unbelievable, see for yourself:

Easter is coming up and it is clear that there will be many eggs left over. So, I decided to review The Egg Diet for you:

The Egg Diet is a variant of the Atkins diet. Like the Atkins diet, the Egg Diet is a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet. To understand how an Egg Diet works, read on.

Our bodies burn a very simple kind of sugar called “Glucose” and not fat. You hear the phrase “burning fat” all the time, but it is simply not scientifically correct. While your body does have the ability to convert stored fat into Glucose for fuel, it cannot actually burn fat directly.

If you eat high-protein, low-carbohydrate foods, your digestive system cannot produce enough Glucose for your body to burn. Therefore, it has no choice but to convert the fat stored around your waist back into Glucose. The nice thing about this is that the amount of food isn’t all that important just so long as the total grams of carbohydrate is kept down. Now that you know how the Egg Diet works, you can put it into practice.

I wish you all a most joyous Easter holiday,

Mary
