6 things to know for your Ph level



Do you know your Ph level?

1. What is Ph level?
Ans. The ph is the level of acidity/alkalinity of your body.

2. How do you know if it is good or bad?
Ans. You can get little rolls of ph paper from the drug store. Tear off a small piece and dip it into a sample of the first urine of the day, collected mid stream.

3. How do I read the test?
Ans. Take your test paper and immediately compare the color to the color code that is on the ph paper dispenser, that will tell you your ph level.

4. What is a good ph level?
Ans. A good range for Ph is between 6.2 and 7.4. Did you know that water is perfectly balanced at 7.0.

5. What if I am too Acidic?
Ans. Time to take action! Your immune system can be impaired, hair can become weak, colds and flu are more common, Vitamins and Minerals may not be absorbed well,and connective tissue can become weak. If you remain too Acidic you will begin to burn out as you get older.

Here is what to do: Try cutting back on processed foods, salted peanut butter, artificial sweeteners,pastries, alcoholic drinks, proteins. Also cut back on things that stress your body like strenuous exercise. Eat lots of vegetables cooked and raw, Fruits and berries, rooibus teas, Almonds, sprouts, extra virgin Olive Oil, and drink lots of good filtered water. (PAW is best, Ozonated and ionized water are great too) Do not use any GMO foods. Read the can on canned goods to be sure.

6. What if I am too Alkaline?
Ans. If you are about 7.6 to 8.00 for a few weeks, it is time to take Action? When you remain above 8 you are getting into a slow, low energy and lethargic zone, which can turn serious unless you change your eating habits. PLEASE NOTE: This state is rare unless you are a Vegan and not getting any protein. Kidneys can be effected as they fight to correct the acid producting diet.

Here is what to do? I would suggest eating more protein, like beef, lobster, chicken, lamb, fish, rolled oats, salted peanut butter and some cheese. This will bring your Ph up fast, but don't go overboard, go slow and keep testing until you can see you are near balanced and then be sure to eat foods from both Acidic foods 25% and Alkaline 75% foods.

Try to remain as Balanced as possible, if you flip up and down you could experience mood swings and suddenly feel exhausted or out of energy. Don't dispair just get out there and enjoy life?

Vitamin D Deficiency, My thoughts on this.



I hate to say it but most North Americans are deficient in the "D" Vitamin, it is my opinion that the information that we get on using sun screen and stay out of the sun and wear your UV ray glasses are the culprits to our Vitamin "D" Deficiency. For starters we; our beautiful bodies, know how to make tons of Vitamin "D" but can't because we don't get any SUN and we Need Sun to do that. Now I am not saying go out and get fried, just go out a reasonable amount of time and let the sun do its job for us, then get into the shade or put on some clothes and a hat. Be cautious about what you do for your body, be serious about it. Put your glasses on as well but do get some sun into yourself.
Have you heard that the dreaded disease Rickets is making a comeback in our children, any wonder why? Lack of Vitamin D! I have not seen a kid that isn't slathered in 32 proof uv protection all day long for days on end. I hope you are reading the list of ingredients and finding out what harm some ingredients can do to your child before you use it.

Here are some alternatives: Play in the sun for 10 minutes and then play in the shaded area. Put an Umbrella over the buggy or stroller. Wear a lightweight long sleeve shirt when you have had enough sun and a hat with a brim. Straw hats are great they filter the sun and you can still make Vitamin D. Did you know you can get a great tan through filmy light weight fabric?

1. What would you do if you do get a sunburn?
Answer: Put some Mangosteen pure fruit juice by Xango on some gauze and place it on the burn and you will be amazed at how fast the burn is healed. The sting is gone in minutes.
2. Where do you get this Mangosteen Juice by Xango?
Answer: Go to my website and sign up for less than $50.00 and you can also buy it wholesale and have it delivered right to your door as often as you like.
3. Where does it ship from?
Answer: It ships from the nearest distribution center to you.
4. Do you have more Questions?
Answer: email me (karenh71085@gmail.com) and I will answer whatever question you have with pleasure and you are under absolutely no obligation what so ever.

Inflamation - What to do ???




Inflammation is a normal body defense that can become enemy No.1, if it doesn't stop when it finished healing. It can burn silently like an underground fire and can become a "secret killer". So suddenly INFLAMMATION has become one of the hotest areas of medical research. Chronic inflammation may be the engine that drives many of the most feared illnesses of middle and old age. Instead of different treatments for, say heart disease, Alzheimer's and colon cancer there might be a single, inflammation reducting remedy that might prevent all three. (Time magazine wrote about this in Feb 23,2004 issue.)

The New Way: The Mangosteen, an exotic Asian tropical fruit, said to be the most delicious fruit in the world. It has a thick outer peel, dark purple-red,and is known for centuries as a potent folk medicine for inflammation, pain, gastro-intestinal problems, fevers, wounds, skin conditions, headaches, malaria, syphilis, parasites and infections.
Mangosteen peel contains more that 40 dynamic natural healing nutrients called XANTHONES. Other healing plants have one or two at the most.

List of 3 fat burning Juices



Listed here is the 3 fat burning juices from Raw Reform.com
1. The Energizer
Juice 1 beet, 7 carrots, 2 apples, 1 cup kale, 1 cup spinach,and 1 oz. Aloe Vera gel. Stir in 3 tbsp. extra virgin olive oil. Drink once a week. Helps the body flush toxins from the liver and gallbladder thus converting fat to energy.

2. The Fat Flusher
Juice 1/2 cup blueberries, 1/2 pear, 1/2 Medium size raw potatoe and 3 apples. Mix in 2 tbsp Flaxseed, 2 tsp. Psyllium powder and 3 tbsp Unpasteurized honey. Drink twice a week. The fibers bind to toxins and flush them from the body.

3. The Bloat Fighter
Juice 1/4 watermelon, rind removed; 1/2 to l lemon and 1/2 cucumber. Drink anytime, but especially to ward off PMS-related water retention. Research at Stanford University suggests that this powerful nutrient blend of lycopene, herperidin and d-limonene has a diuretic effect that flushes out the trapped fluid that triggers water retention.

Lighten up - Spring is just around the Corner




The sun is coming out even through it is still cold, we get the feeling that we need more space. Time to de-clutter our lives. I have found that it is good to get rid of all the old clothes, nic nacs,and stuff that we just love but is shabby or out of style etc. Gift them to the agencies that distribute clothing. Remember our friends and children love us but don't want all our old stuff, find someone who does. Have an auction party, invite your friends to bring their stuff. Make some coffee and juice, serve with cookies and get your best talker friend to be the auctioneer. This is so much fun, you can go home with a whole bunch of someone else's stuff.
