Eggshells Are A Bio-Available Source Of Calcium



Americans Are Big On Calcium Supplements


Americans are big on calcium. In fact, the number one supplement sold in America is calcium. What is not well known is that most Americans are also unknowingly buying and throwing away a bio-available form calcium supplement almost every day. If only they knew that eggshells can be used as a good source of bio-available calcium.

According to Dutch research eggshells have a very positive effect on bone density when combined with other minerals such as magnesium and zinc along with vitamin D according to a double blind placebo study. This information is corroborated by a Japanese study by the Japan Women's University. The Japanese study was done on a combination of eggshell calcium and vitamin D3, which was conducted on animals that were shown to have osteoporosis. The study concluded that the combination was able to raise bone density levels without significantly raising blood calcium levels.

A Short Leave of Absence

I just wanted to let everyone know that I am taking a short break from updating the blog with video. My camera is broken so I will have to wait till I'm able to purchase a new one to update videos. Oh well... So it goes!

In the meantime I can suggest a few great sites that I have really been enjoying lately for you to check out!

This website is great! It is an online radio network hosted by Patrick Timpone. He covers many health topics and all of them are free to listen to and download. In fact there are approximately 600 podcasts to listen to with more being added daily. He also brings on current health experts with up to date information. Thank you Patrick!

Another superb website! Updated daily with REAL health information and no fluff. Mike Adams, also known as The Health Ranger, is known for exposing health fraud and bogusness of the mainstream media. There is a lot of misinformation out there and it is good to have a website like this one to weed through it and get to the bottom of it. Thanks Mike!

This is a video blog that is updated 5 days a week by Kevin and Ann Marie Gianni. Kevin has a way of really making the topic of health seem simple and fun! He has well over 400 shows on his site now with a wealth of information to obtain from it. He covers subjects like fitness, health, and food preparation. Thanks Guys

Enjoy these websites, and use them to motivate you to take your health to new levels this year! I promise that as soon as I get my new camera I will be updating more often!

How To Make Raw Muffins



Recipe:
  • 1 Cup Almonds
  • 1 Cup Cashews
  • 2 Tbspn Raw Honey or Date Paste
  • 1 tspn Almond or Vanilla Extract
  • Cinnamon To Taste
  • 1 Banana




Soak almonds and cashews overnight, or for at least 12 hours, being sure to rinse every few hours if possible. Obviously if you do it overnight you will not be rinsing, so it would be a good idea to put the nuts in the fridge while soaking. The purpose behind soaking is to break down the digestive inhibitors. I will post more on this in future blogs.

Add all the ingredients into your food processor, blend, pulse, blend, pulse, go crazy with it! Whoa, not too crazy! Stop blending just before it turns into a pate texture. You are looking for a bit of fluffy-ness!

Scoop out of the processor, add to your muffin cups or shape into a muffin or patty like shape, (or hearts or Mickey Mouse heads), and put into your dehydrator, or if you prefer you can eat them as is. If you are going to dehydrate them I suggest you set it at 130 degrees or so for the first hour, then bring it down to 115 degrees for the next two or three hours.

Top with your favorite toppings and....
Enjoy!

Book Review: Water The Ultimate Cure by Steve Meyerowitz

Probably the most important health building substance on the planet that almost everyone I meet is deficient in is water, and after reading this you may find out you are no exception. This book has really been an eye opener on just how important water is to our health, so lets get right to it!

Water
The Ultimate Cure
By Steve Meyerowitz

I have read a few other books written by Steve "The Sproutman" Meyerowitz and am always amazed at how simply he is able to lay out the information he is trying to present, and do it in a way that just about anyone can understand. All of his books make for a quick read, and this one is no exception.

The forward on this book is done by someone who is in my opinion the authority on water used for transforming health, Dr F. Batmanghelidj MD. He has treated many different ailments using basically water alone for many years, and has done it quite successfully. He also has written a fantastic book on water called "Your Body's Many Cries For Water".

Water really is the stuff of life! If your not completely convinced of that yet then ask yourself a question. Why do we keep looking for it everywhere we go? Why does NASA spend so much effort and money every day just to find a hint of it on other planets? We are constantly in search for it. We build houses near it, take vacations to be close to it, are relaxed by the sound of it, and cleanse our bodies in it! Try living without it and you will very quickly find out how important it has become to you!

I want to go over a few of the facts presented in this book that blew me away. He states:

  • By weight we are about 67% water. If this percent drops by even 2% we become fatigued, if by 10% we begin to have significant health problems.
  • Women who drink more than 5 8oz glasses a day may reduce the chance of kidney & bladder cancer by 45%, while men may reduce the chances of prostate & testicular cancer by 32%
  • The average adult contains 40-50 qts of water or 10-13 gallons!
  • Blood = 83% Water
  • Brain = 75% Water
  • Muscle = 75% Water
  • Heart = 75% Water
  • Eyes = 95% Water
  • Lungs = 86% Water
  • Kidneys = 83% Water
  • Bones = 22% Water
  • There are over 75,000 compounds in municipal water from business, agriculture, industry, and consumer homes with more being added on a daily basis.
  • Fluoride, first introduced in municipal water in the 1940's, is currently banned in Sweden, Denmark, and Holland, and abandoned in Belgium and West Germany.
  • America still uses fluoride in our municipal water
  • America has the highest rates in tooth decay in the world!
  • One in six americans drinks water containing excess levels of lead.
To put it plainly we need to start thinking about our water intake more on a daily basis. But how much do we need to drink? You should be drinking at least half of your total body weight in ounces of water.

Example:
If you weigh 120 lbs
You drink 60 ounces of water daily

"But I do get that much! I just had a 64 ounce big gulp for lunch!" Hmmm... I hate to burst your bubble but NONE of that really counts for water as far as our body is concerned. When calculating this, you should not add any of your beverages that may contain caffeine or diuretics since they steal water from your body... You may also want to consider adding a few more ounces of water if your salt intake for the day has been high, not to mention potassium. (There is also a section in this book that he goes into detail about how to balance your salt and potassium intakes).

All in all this has been a great read for me, and I know it will be for you too. As stated on the back cover of the book, you will discover why your drinking habits may be the cause and cure of your:

  • Headaches
  • Lower back pain
  • Stress & Depression
  • High Blood Pressure
  • High Cholesterol
  • Excessive Weight
  • Overeating
  • Allergies & Asthma
  • Arthritic Pain
  • Insomnia & Fatigue

He also goes extensively into the many type of water filtration systems so that you are able to find out which type is right for you.

How To Eliminate Acne



Here is a quick rundown of the things I went through to start eliminating acne problems:
  1. Drink Lots Of Water
  2. Add More Fiber Like Chia Into Your Diet
  3. Cleanse Your Intestinal Tract
  4. Cleanse Your Liver
  5. For External Applications Use Bentoinite Clay
  6. To Expedite Intestinal And Liver Cleansing Try A Colonic Or Coffee Enema
Another very important step to eliminating acne that I failed to mention in the video is to change your diet to a diet that promotes beauty! If your eating cheeseburgers and french fries for dinner every day you will become a greasy mess that resembles what you are eating!

YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT!

If you want to be beautiful, eat beautiful foods such as salads, fresh fruits, vegetables, juices and smoothies, ect... And don't be too hard on yourself if you slip up, it's not worth the extra stress! (Which may actually end up causing more pimples!) Also add chlorella and chlorophyl rich foods into your diet to nourish your intestinal tract and liver, and to help balance your pH levels.

You can click any of the pictures below to order some of the products I have mentioned and personally used to eliminate my acne!

I hope you were able to glean some good information today, and if so, please post some comments below!

Tablets of Chlorella 250 Grams - 1000 Tablets (Nuts)"> Earth's Living Green Clay for external Use, 8oz"> CERTIFIED ORGANIC Chia Seeds 1 lb">
