Turmeric is arguably the most powerful herb on the planet to preventing, reversing and curing disease. With over 600 health benefits, turmeric’s medicinal powers are seemingly endless! From cancer prevention to anti-inflammatory treatments, turmeric should be a staple in every diet. In fact, when compared to conventional pharmaceutical medications, turmeric has proven to be more advantageous than certain prescription drugs, like Prozac and Aspirin.


Turmeric as an Anti-Inflammatory
With more than 2 dozen anti-inflammatory compounds and 6 COX-2 inhibitors, turmeric reduces inflammatory outbreaks. COX-2 is an enzyme that reduces pain and inflammation. Put simply, turmeric’s high COX-2 content “blocks” inflammation and brings pain relief.

Turmeric as an Anti-Oxidant and to Prevent Cancer

Turmeric permeates the membranes of free radicals and neutralizes them. This prevents cancerous cells from spreading and creating more oxidation!
Studies prove that turmeric helps prevent several forms of cancer including lung, stomach, breast, colon and liver. Turmeric’s anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties prohibit the development of cancer by interfering with the cellular signals of chronic disease.


Adding Turmeric into Your Diet

Incorporating more turmeric into your diet can be daunting at first. But with these the tips and a delicious golden milk kefir recipe, you’ll be eating turmeric on the daily!
Whole turmeric root – add it to juices and smoothies and broths for a healthy punch of nutrients

Baking soda is used for all sorts of things, from cooking to cleaning, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo and even medicinal practices.
Baking soda or sodium bicarbonate is a chemical compound that is a white solid crystalline, but often appears as a fine powder. It has an alkaline and salty taste.The ancient Egyptians used natural deposits of sodium bicarbonate creating a paint for their hieroglyphics.In 1846, John Dwight and Austin Church, two bakers from New York established the first factory developing baking soda.
Baking soda is used for all sorts of things, from cooking to cleaning, toothpaste, deodorant, shampoo and even medicinal practices.
Uses:
Mixing baking soda and water creates a very effective antacid
A paste made with water and baking soda will treat allergic reactions from poison ivy/sumac
Baking soda can help with the removal of splinters
Baking soda is very important for our health. In the body the main organ for producing bicarbonate is pancreas. It helps to protect the kidneys.
How to Repair Your Kidneys Naturally Using Baking Soda?
Patients affected of kidney disease in most of the cases have low bicarbonate levels and this is a medical condition names metabolic acidosis.
“Substituting a sodium bicarbonate solution for saline infusion prior to administration of radiocontrast material seems to reduce the incidence of nephropathy.” Says Dr. Thomas P. Kennedy
Professor Magdi Yaqoob said:
It’s amazing.’
‘This is the first randomized controlled study of its kind.’
‘A simple remedy like sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), when used appropriately, can be very effective.’
Out of 134 test patients with advanced kidney disease and metabolic acidosis, a haphazardly chose little gathering was given a tablet day by day, made of a little measure of sodium bicarbonate for a year. The kidney capacities of these patients declined at a rate that is normal with ordinary maturing and were more averse to require dialysis. This gathering had a 2/3 slower decay of wellbeing than the untreated gathering.
This study shows baking soda can be useful for people with kidney failure. That is, as long as the dose is regulated and under supervision.’ According to professor Magdi
‘This cheap and simple strategy also improves patients’ nutritional well-being and has the potential to improve quality of life and of course a clinical outcome that can remove the need for dialysis.’



Did someone say, ‘charcoal juice’? Indeed, many people are saying it. High-end juice companies are adding activated charcoal to their products ‘the charcoal can absorb toxins from the body and leave you feeling renewed. You’re probably wondering if this seemingly odd idea can actually help purify and energize. It can. Once you’re over the look of a bottle of black juice, you’re well on your way.
Why Charcoal?
The charcoal used in this lemonade as well as different types of detox supplements is activated (made from wood, bamboo or coconut shells), easy to absorb and safe to consume. It captures everything in your digestive tract including all the toxins, making it a great addition to detoxification programs.
“It’s so absorbent, in fact, that it’s commonly given to those who have been hospitalized due to toxin exposure or drug overdose in order to flush the toxins from their system,” reported Eat This, NotThat! (ETNT).
People use activated charcoal to get rid of toxins, help fight hangover and food poisoning, and cleanse the intestines and colon. As an after effect, it can give a person a flatter stomach and provide more energy.
Studies Done on Activated Charcoal
Activated charcoal was heavily studied in 1980s and numerous reports can be found on activated charcoal significantly reducing the symptoms of intestinal gas, bloating, and cramps.
University of Michigan Health System recommends charcoal for poisoning: 50-100 grams for adults and 10-25 grams for children. The dose for preventing intestinal gas is 500-1000 mg per day, and 4-32 grams per day to lower blood cholesterol. The hospital references 14 studies from 1980s and 1990s.
Something to Consider Before Consuming It
Another company that makes the drink, LuliTonix from New York, warns against drinking this on a regular basis as it can cause constipation. They also note that it is important not to drink this within 2 hours or taking important supplements or medications, as the charcoal will absorb and eliminate those things out of your body.
Time Magazine also noted that it is important to remember that charcoal will bind to anything that is absorbable, so it can also draw out and remove nutrients from the body. Eating nutrient-rich food and taking charcoal on the same day, especially at the same time, might be counter-productive.
Taking the research and warnings into consideration, it is important to treat anything with activated charcoal as a once-in-a-while detoxification tool, and not a daily drink.
Where to buy it?
Charcoal Lemonade at Beyond Juice will be available in November, according to Domzalski. Ask your local juicer if they offer it or are willing to add it to the menu.
Activated charcoal itself can also be purchased in capsules. There are many products on the market with really good reviews, especially for using the product for intestinal issues.
Making Your Own Charcoal Lemonade
To make your own lemonade you will need:
16 oz of filtered water, 1 organic lemon, 1-2 Tbsp Maple Syrup, 1-2 capsules of activated charcoal, 1 pinch of Himalayan salt, and fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or basil (optional).

Stress is your body's way of responding to any kind of demand or threat. When you feel threatened, your nervous system responds by releasing a flood of stress hormones, including adrenaline and cortisol, which rouse the body for emergency action.


Treat yourself to less stress
Stress making you crazy? We hear you. You probably know that some of the best ways to relieve stress include exercising, talking to friends, or simply getting outside. But what if you can't make it to the gym for your one-hour workout?

It might be time for a little pampering. These eight strategies will not only help calm you down, you'll also feel legitimately spoiled in the process.

Decorate with lavender

This herb has a soothing scent that can lower your heart rate and blood pressure, both of which can help you relax and even drift off to sleep. Put dried lavender in a vase near your bed or slather on moisturizer infused with lavender.

Have a chocolate-covered strawberry

When you’re stressed, you may be tempted to house every sweet treat in sight. But foods high in added sugar can increase your blood sugar levels and make you feel even more on edge. Instead, munch on strawberries dipped in dark chocolate. The vitamin C in the berries can fight body-damaging free radicals and the dark chocolate may help reduce stress hormones like cortisol. 

Take a bath

Soaking in water has a soothing effect, experts say, since it connects us to our time in the womb. Add lavender bath oils or aromatherapy candles and you’re well on your way to complete Zen.

Give yourself a scalp massage

You know how good it feels when you get your hair shampooed at the salon? You can (and should) recreate that experience at home. To melt away tension, massage your scalp with your fingertips, moving from your hairline to the back of your head several times. Bonus: Scalp massages also help release natural conditioning oils so your hair will look even more gorgeous.

Get a Swedish massage

Not all rubdowns are created equal. This type of massage involves gentle, soothing strokes, which can improve circulation and help you chill out. You could also try anaromatherapy massage, where a therapist uses essential oils during the treatment.

Sip chamomile tea

Research shows that one of the compounds in this herbal brew binds to the same brain receptors as drugs like Valium, which means the tea acts as a mild tranquillizer. Not a tea person? Chamomile supplements may also help reduce anxiety, according to at least one study.

Give yourself a foot rub

Reflexology is an alternative medicine therapy that involves applying pressure to different parts of the body. It may help ease stress, and possibly even help migraines. Do it yourself by running under the base of your toes to calm your head and massaging the ball of your foot to relax your chest, says reflexologist Mara Nicandro, director of Therapeutic Massage of Texas. Rubbing your big toes releases soothing endorphins, which can help you relax.


If you go-to way to manage stress is devouring a bag of potato chips (because crunching that poor little potato into submission feels oh-so-good), read on. Feel free to feed your anxiety with these Eat This, Not That! -approved, stress-relieving eats and drinks (within reason). Stash some of them in your snack drawer so you can grab a snack and get back to work, refueled, refocused, and less overwhelmed. Even if your stress sends you into munching overdrive, none of these picks will derail your weight loss efforts, leaving you with one less thing to worry about.

1 DARK CHOLOLATE

Really, we’re not screwing with you. A study out of the Nestlé Research Center (of course) found that those who deemed themselves “highly stressed” had lower levels of the stress hormones cortisol and catecholamines in their system after two weeks eating chocolate every day for two weeks. Don’t worry, we checked out another study just to verify, and they also found that dark chocolate buffers the effects of stress in humans. So it’s official; break off a square to celebrate. (For a couple dark-chocolate drizzled snacks, check out our list of good snacks and stock up for the workweek ahead.)
2 STRAWERRIES

Strawberries are surprisingly high in vitamin C, which has been proven to have a significant effect on stress levels. Increased vitamin C consumption has been proven to help people cope with stressful situations. Levels of cortisol (one of the stress hormones) decreased rapidly in subjects given vitamin C supplement, and the blood pressure of the study participants returned to normal more quickly in the vitamin C group than in the control group.
3 WALID SALMON

If you don’t like fish, you have good reason to be stressed. But you can get the same benefits from an Omega-3 supplement. A study out of Ohio State University found that students who took regular omega-3 supplements had a 20% reduction in their anxiety levels, in comparison to students who were fish-free and didn’t take supplements.
If you know you have a big day ahead, plan to have some lox with breakfast for salmon on your salad. It will fight those overwhelmed feelings from stress and also keep you focused, so you can nail that afternoon presentation or meeting.
4 BLACK TEA

Once you go black, you never—I’m talking about tea, I just want to be clear. A 2007 study published in the journal Psychopharmacology found that black tea drinkers are better able to manage stress than their herbal-sipping counterparts. Not only were black tea drinkers generally less stressed out, they also were able to return their body to homeostasis more quickly after a stressful situation than non-black tea drinkers.
5 NUTS

Nuts are crunchy, so there’s a stress relieving activity for you. More importantly, nuts are high in magnesium, a vital nutrient when in it comes to our body’s natural stress coping mechanism. (Leafy greens are another great source of magnesium. So over the trendier options? Try these greens that are healthier than kale.) The majority of us are magnesium deficient, the RDA for adults is between 320 and 420mg daily and the average American gets about 250mg daily. A common sign of magnesium deficiency is an inability to manage stress, and the physical ramifications of that like high blood pressure, insomnia, fatigue, or loss of appetite. Go ahead, eat that PB & J, it will calm you down.  Source: http://www.eatthis.com/5-foods-fight-stress
