The human body is designed to have 1-2 bowel movements a day. Constipation leads to all kinds of problems like allergies, depression, obesity, gas, insomnia, arthritis, heart disease, diabetes, acid reflux, bad breath, bad skin and nails, and more. Here are 7+1 specific and simple ways to cure constipation:

1. Detoxify once a year with a cleansing program that includes colon cleanse, candida cleanse, parasite cleanse and liver/gallbladder cleanse
2. Do 6 to 8 colonics within a month (at least once a year)
   
3. Drink prune juice or eat prunes
4. Drink more water
5. Flax seeds (put a table spoon of them in a glass of water and leave over night, drink in the morning before breakfast)
6. High fiber and high protein meal for a breakfast
7. Walk, run, do sports
8. Occasionally take herbal supplements like:

Two weeks ago I have heard the following statement:

If you are trying to lose weight and you love milk, cheese, butter, or any dairy products, then eat only organic products that have not been pasteurized or homogenized. The dairy products you want to buy should be labeled “organic”. Not organic dairy products have growth hormone in them.

I have taken it seriously and excluded all dairy products from my diet for 5 days. Already in the evening on the third day  my stomach looked flatter. I weighted myself and discovered that I am 1 pound lighter than on the usual evenings. So, I guess there is some truth to the whole “growth hormone in the dairy products” thing.

You might want to ask me how about all the good bacteria we usually try to get from the yogurts and such? Well, during these 5 days I relied on
Pure Encap’s Probiotics-5 60Caps. This product is phenomenal: it is dairy-free.

Don’t you want to lose a few pounds before summer? I guess the answer is yes. Try to stay away from the dairy products and take some good probiotic. If you do, please leave a comment and share your experience.

Stay healthy,

Mary

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
