by March 29, 2017

We all at some point in our lives have snored. This is nothing the be concerned with unless it becomes disrupting to your quality of sleep.

If you are a regular snorer then you are probably not getting the sleep quality you need. This is something that can lead to issues like irritability and daytime fatigue. Not to mention if your snoring is keeping your partner awake it can be extremely dangerous for your relationship.

While you could just choose to sleep in separate rooms but that is not always the best answer. When it comes to reducing and eliminating snoring there are many different effective solutions. Snoring can lead to very serious health issues and should be addressed as soon as it becomes a daily problem. If you haven’t heard of obstructive sleep apnea you should pay close attention to this article.

Obstructive sleep apnea is a condition that implies a person may stop breathing for short periods of time while they are sleeping. Around seventy-five percent of all people who snore regularly suffer from this health issue. You see, heavy snoring is something that occurs when air passes through relaxed tissues in our throats, this causes vibrations when we breathe making snoring noises.

Sure, you could try an over the counter medication for your sleeping issues but most of them won’t be very effective. When it comes to things like this I always try to stick with natural remedies. The remedy below will work wonders on your sleeping problems and have you snore-free in no time.

Mucus-Clearing Juice

Ingredients:

  • 2 lemon wedges
  • 2 small pieces of ginger
  • 4 apples
  • 4 carrots

Directions:

  • Wash all of the ingredients.
  • Peel the ginger and slice it into smaller pieces.
  • Cut all of the ingredients up and of course, remove the core of the apple and the seeds of the lemon wedges.
  • Blend all of these ingredients together.
  • Drink up!

This will be able to reduce the mucus causing your snoring issue and clogging your airways. These ingredients all work great with one another as you may know things like ginger and lemon are known for improving the body’s resistance to infections and carrots are effective when it comes to treating phlegm. Now, on top of this remedy, you should be doing your best to avoid any bad habits. Sure, snoring may seem innocent enough in the beginning but it can turn into something deadly quick.

Sleeping On Your Left Side Lets You Enjoy These Health Benefits

by March 29, 2017

We can manage to toss and turn all night long, but we all have our favorite sleeping position. You might not know, but depending on which way you sleep it can greatly affect your health! Wondering which is the best and the worst? I’ll tell ya.

Whether you like sleeping on your right side or on your tummy, each one has pros and cons that you can expect the next day – and in long term effects. Sleeping on your back is often demonstrated to be the healthiest and most natural; while it is a good resting position for your organs, it isn’t the healthiest. Studies show that sleeping on your left side is the healthiest way to sleep!

Sleeping on your back is great for back or neck pain. This is due to the fact that the back is straight and forced to conform to any odd shape. Although uncomfy, it is really healthy for you to sleep on your back with no pillow because it leaves the neck in a neutral position, and you breathe better flat. However, back sleeping puts you at high risk for sleep apnea and other breathing issues – especially snoring.

Sleeping on your left side is the healthiest way to sleep for several different reasons. For starters, the left side is more lymphatic than the right. Lymph from the body will drain left into the thoracic duct. This is opposed to the lymph just hanging out while you sleep on your right side. According to Ayurveda, the left side is entirely different than the right side. They’re not at all the same. The left side is emphasized to be beneficial for sleep and rest. Ancient tales claim sleeping on your side will even cause you to live a longer, fuller life! Who knew just switching the way you slept could have so many benefits?

Benefits of sleeping on your left side include:

  • Facilitate lymphatic drainage
  • Makes it easier for the heart to pump downhill
  • Better elimination
  • Support healthy spleen function
  • Encourages proper digestion
  • Helps circulation back to the heart
  • Helps bile flow more freely

Sleeping on the left side is especially great for the heart. By sleeping on the left side the heart is pumping the most blood it possibly can because the aorta is arched to the left. Sleeping on the left side causes the blood to naturally descend into the aorta.

If you can manage to fall asleep on your left side you will feel better overall. In addition to your heart health, lymph drainage, posture health, and better digestion, sleeping on your side is pretty comfy too! Give it a shot!

How Sunscreen Could be Causing Cancer, Not The Sun

by March 28, 2017

Summer is well on its way, that being said it is time we get back to protecting our skin. Now for most people they assume drenching themselves in sunscreen will do the trick but could it be doing the opposite?

We are encouraged every step of the way by corporate marketing campaigns to use sunscreen, this means it must be what we need, right? WRONG! Of course, we need to protect our skin but we should not be fearing the sun to the extent that we do. Blocking out the sun completely is not ideal. The vitamin D we obtain from the sun is needed for many different reasons.

The commercial sunscreen products we see on store shelves today are generally all baths of toxic hormone-disrupting chemicals. Everything that we put on our skin ends up inside our bodies so why are we dousing ourselves in chemicals? One study, in particular, that was conducted at the Faculty of Pharmacy at the University of Manitoba, Canada took the time to seek out a method for quantifying common sunscreen agents. The results they got demonstrated a very significant penetration of all sunscreen agents into the skin of those involved in the study.

The hormone-disrupting chemicals mentioned above include things like oxybenzone, triclosan, parabens, phthalates, and tons of other dangerous chemicals. All of these are found in the most popular sunscreens, no one is safe. These dangerous chemicals making their way into our bloodstreams are without a doubt something to be concerned about. You see, things like oxybenzone have been found to mimic the effects of estrogen in the body and promote the growth of cancer cells.

While sunburn is not something we want to happen exposure to the sun can in some ways prevent you from developing cancer. Several studies have confirmed this and yes when exposed to an appropriate amount of sun you are protecting yourself from skin cancer. If you want to get out in the sun and avoid using those dangerous commercially produced chemical baths the corporate world is passing off as sunscreen try the natural homemade sunscreen below.

  • Raw beeswax

  • Be sure to add the zinc oxide last.

This recipe will allow you to spend all the time outdoors you want and avoid getting burned by the sun. Your family will be much safer using this than commercial products. Making this sunscreen will only take a few minutes of your time and will last forever!

The Brutally Honest Coca-Cola Commercial You’ll Never See on TV

by March 28, 2017

Coca-Cola is working on an ad in order to defend Aspartame, and the safety of all artificial sweeteners. This is because of the drop in sales they have been seeing in recent times, we should all feel good about this because it shows that we are making an impact by raising awareness on Aspartame in general.

Tons of people across the world are learning to make better choices and choosing to say no to Aspartame. Coke is something that does not belong in our bodies and it is well past time that the people knew this. I saw this video not too long ago and knew it would be something worth sharing. While Coca-Cola is planning to convince the public that artificial sweeteners are safe we all know otherwise.

Now, as you are all most likely aware Aspartame is a dangerous artificial sweetener. It is known to cause things like headaches, dizziness, mood swings, digestive issues, cancer, and many other health issues. It is most commonly found in ‘diet’ food and drink items but does nothing for weight loss. Aspartame is just about as bad for our health as being hit by a bus.

This voiced over version of the original Coke commercial says exactly what we are all thinking. When it comes to brute honesty things don’t get much better than this. While you will never see this on television it is something worth watching without a doubt.

The ‘Muscle Of The Soul’ May Be Triggering Your Fear And Anxiety!

by March 28, 2017

Do you spend a lot of time sitting in front of the computer, on a plane, in a car, in an office chair? If so your hips could be locked up which affects range of motion, but even worse, it may be causing you undue stress and fear.

The core stabilizing muscle located near the hip bone affects mobility, structural balance, joint function, flexibility, and much more. In addition to its function to help keep the body upright and moving, the psoas is believed to allow you to connect with the present moment especially when it is stretched out and tension is released from the body.

Some books such as Liz Koch’s The Psoas Book claim that there is a relationship between the psoas muscle and daily anxiety, which allows people to connect to the present moment. According to Koch, this muscle “literally embodies our deepest urge for survival, and more profoundly, our elemental desire to flourish.” The author also believes the location of the psoas in connection to the diaphragm explains how this muscle could be responsible for symptoms associated with anxiety and fear.

The psoas tends to get tense due to our increasingly sedentary lifestyles or by sometimes being very active but not stretching nearly enough. Relieving the psoas’s tension can alleviate your fear and anxiety. Here are some stretched to keep it limber and relaxed:

The problem lies in the way our lives are constructed, with not nearly as much thought given to our core survival needs and instincts as our desire to succeed, achieve and compete in society. Therefore, this places our psoas in constant ‘fight or flight’ state, making the muscle always stressed and constricted.

This state influences many parts of our lives, even your level of contentment with it. In people who have an over-constructed psoas due to things like bad posture and wearing shoes that distort the figure, fear can be manifest itself in very real emotional as well as physical ways.

Yoga poses and exercises represent some of the best ways to lengthen and strengthen the ‘muscle of the soul’ while acupressure and chiropractic care help release a psoas muscle which has become tight from excessive driving or sitting in front of a computer. By restoring the form of this muscle, it is believed one can control the physical and emotional tension.
