What Happens to Your Body When You Drink Soda (Infographic)

by April 14, 2017

There is one beverage that has persisted to be a favorite among the public ever since its creation – soda. However, within the bubbly deliciousness, there’s a darker truth to the drinks. They’re not only full of sugar, but also other toxic ingredients.

Soda has been around since the 20th century. It has been a favorite among people for almost a century. While the creation of the beverage might seem rather innocent, it really isn’t! In fact, there are studies that prove that the very first versions of Coca-cola had traces of cocaine in them. Of course, there isn’t cocaine in the modern day versions, there are some dangerous ingredients in the drink.

There are even some ingredients in modern day soda that are known to be cancer causing. One of the most dangerous ingredients in the drink is known as 4-mel or 4-methylimidazole. In February 2011, Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI) petitioned FDA to ban the use of 4-Mel which is formed as a byproduct of caramel coloring due to the reaction between sugar, ammonia and ammonia sulfite. However, according to NPR, the FDA issued a statement saying that consumers should drink more than 1,000 cans of soda a day to reach the doses that have been shown to lead to cancer in rodents.

 

Soda has more effects on your body than you think. For starters, it is packed full of sugar. One can of soda is equivalent to eating 10 teaspoons of sugar! This amount of sugar can skyrocket your blood sugar and can result in an insulin deficiency, or diabetes. It also has ridiculous amounts of caffeine in it. If you’re curious as to what soda does to your body, check out the infographic above.

by April 13, 2017

Spring has arrived and it is officially that time of the year – mosquito season. They’re going here soon, and before you know it you’ll be scratching the hide off your legs. However, there might be a way to prevent that.

Mosquitoes seem almost impossible to completely rid yourself of. They are super annoying and can carry some pretty deadly viruses. If you currently use DEET to keep them at bay you should STOP! DEET is a powerful chemical that can produce some dreadful side effects and when it comes to our skin we should be avoiding toxic chemicals as it is.

When it comes to a safer means of protecting yourself you should give vitamin B1 a try. It could save you a lot of trouble. Vitamin B1 is also known as Thiamine and has been used by many for years when it comes to keeping mosquitoes away. It is believed that taking in the right amount of this alters the way our sweat smells making us unappealing to the mosquitoes.

It is recommended that you take at least 50 milligrams three times a day. You don’t have to constantly take a supplement for this thought, it can be found in foods like broccoli, kale, sunflower seeds, and beans. Take a look at the video below to see how this works for yourself. People all over the world swear by this method!

True or False? – The Hidden Secret Behind Toothpaste Bottom Color

by April 13, 2017

You might have seen an article, photo, or video explaining the true meaning of the colors on the bottom of a toothpaste tube. However the colors do have meaning, most of them were false. But, I’ll tell you the truth.

The toothpaste tubes have four different colored squares that are typically on the very bottom. They actually have nothing to do with the product it contains, yet more of the manufacturer it comes from. They colors of the squares come in green, blue, red, and black.

  • Green – Natural toothpaste
  • Blue – The toothpaste combination is of natural ingredients and medications.
  • Red – The toothpaste has natural ingredients and chemicals.
  • Black – The toothpaste is composed of only chemicals.

While this is what all the rumors claim, it’s a complete myth. The marks are simply an indication for where the high speed machines need to cut during manufacturing. The process is necessary when it comes to mass producing such items. the machine needs to know where to cut or fold the packaging.

This rumor has had many people astounded for a while now. Don’t worry, you don’t have to go throe away your toothpaste, even though most mainstream toothpaste brands continue to use toxic ingredients anyways. they do not merely have the decency to at least let us know we are ingesting toxic chemicals, obviously.

Do You Ever Get An Itch Inside Your Ear? This Is What It Means and What You Can Do For It

by April 13, 2017

We’ve probably all experienced it before; that stupid itch in the very bottom of your ear. You can’t get to it, the more you try it starts to hurt, and medications just make it worse…

Earaches can be caused by a multitude of different things. It’s typically just a buildup of earwax really deep inside your ear, but trying to get it can result in a damaged ear drum or worse. Earaches can be caused by other things too; such as grinding your teeth, sleeping on a hard surface, or wrongly positioned earphones. No matter what causes it, it’s purely annoying.

Ear aches and itchy ears can be caused by lots of things. One of the most common ways someone acquires it is from swimmer’s ear, also known as otitis Externa. When swimmer’s ear occurs, the skin ling of the ear canal is damaged or torn. Excessive moisture in the ear can also cause the lining to become soft, resulting in a tear.

Hydrogen peroxide is most likely going o be the most effective resource to fix that itchy ear. It’s super easy, inexpensive, and takes maybe 10 minutes! Just mix an equal amount of hydrogen peroxide and water. Warm oil is also a great way to get your ears unclogged. You can use natural and essential oils such as coconut oil, olive oil, vegetable oil, or even tea tree oil.  When you’re using oil to clean out the hard to reach places in your ear, all you have to do is dilute the oil with water, and drop a few drops in your ear from a dropper. After a minute or two, tilt your head and it will come running out – along with the ear wax that’s been aggravating you for the past five years.

Regardless of what causes an ear infection, they’re all really annoying – and painful. Instead of using chemical based pharmaceuticals, you should instead use the natural remedies in which mother nature has supplied us with!

Cilantro can Remove 80% of Heavy Metals from the Body within 42 Days. Here is What You Need to Do

by April 13, 2017

Honestly, we probably have no idea what kind of chemicals and poisonous substances actually find their way into our bodies. However, we do know that heavy metals are often one of them. This is what you can do to flush them from your body.

Heavy metals have become pretty popular among the corporations that control our food and water. Although it might save them a buck or two, the public is paying the ultimate price – rapidly declining health. Their products are literally killing us, yet nobody seems to do anything about it. Heavy metals can find their way into your body through some foods, shampoos, body washes, baby formula, baked goods, pots and pans, deodorant, and skin creams. Just to name a few.

“Heavy metal toxicity—from metals such as mercury, aluminum, copper, cadmium, nickel, arsenic, and lead—represents one of the greatest threats to our health and well-being.”

If you’re like me, you’re probably looking for the quickest way to flush out these heavy metals. It is often perceived to be a hard thing to do, but there is one super food that makes it easy – cilantro.

The process in which cilantro detoxifies your body is amazing. It has compounds within it that bind with the heavy metal compounds inside your body. Once the metal compounds bind with cilantro, they are then removed from the body entirely.

Here’s How to Detox Heavy Metals Using Cilantro:

To receive the powerful detoxifying benefits of cilantro all you have to do is blend 1 cup of cilantro and add it to a salad, smoothie, or even guacamole! It is great for detoxing because the compounds of the cilantro get to ‘hard to reach’ places. Enjoy!

10 Foods That Reverse Hair Loss in No Time

by April 13, 2017

We all lose hair as we age and as humans, we shed around one hundred hairs per day. This is normal. However, some people lose more hair than others.

If you are dealing with something like hormonal changes, medical conditions, or even trying out a medicine you aren’t used to you could experience significant hair loss. As a matter of fact, some people lose their hair because of their genes. This is often the case with people who have a receding hairline or bald spots.

Hair loss can make you feel awful and in most cases it is embarrassing. Getting to the root of your issue is imperative. If you are dealing with any sort of hair loss these natural remedies should be able to stop it in its tracks and have your hair looking full in no time.

1. Coconut Milk

Ingredients:

  • Fresh grated coconut
  • Water

Directions:

  • Put the fresh grated coconut into a pan of water and let it simmer for ten minutes.
    Strain it after.
  • Once this has been done apply the milk onto your scalp and massage it into your hair.
  • Leave this on for thirty whole minutes and then wash your hair with shampoo.

2. Flaxseed

Consume two tablespoons of freshly ground flaxseeds with a glass of water in the morning on an empty stomach.

3. Fenugreek Seeds

You will need to soak theses seeds in water overnight and then grind them into a paste. Once this has been done massage the paste into your hair and leave it on for one whole hour.

4. Licorice Root

Add two tablespoons of ground licorice root to one cup of milk and mix it well. Apply this paste to your bald patches before you go to sleep. When you wake up wash your hair.

5. Chinese Hibiscus

For this one, you will need to add 20 dried Chinese Hibiscus flowers to two cups of coconut oil. Then you will need to heat the solution until it begins boiling. Once this happens you will need to strain it and collect the oil left behind. Apply this oil to your head before bed.

6. Aloe Vera

Apply aloe vera gel to the scalp. Leave this on for a few hours and then wash it off with warm water. If you do this a few times a week you should notice an improvement.

7. Indian Gooseberry

This remedy is my all time favorite when it comes to hair loss. All you need to do is mix Indian gooseberry with some lemon juice and massage it into your hair.

8. Beetroot

Simply eat as much beetroot as you can. It is overflowing with protein, calcium, and nutrients for hair growth.

9. Coconut Oil

Apply coconut oil to your hair and allow it to sit on your scalp for a few hours. Then wash it out.

10. Salmon

The more protein you eat the better condition your hair will be in. If you eat more salmon it will boost your hair health without a doubt. This is thanks to its omega-3 fatty acid content.

When it comes to reducing or correcting your hair loss you don’t have to do all of these at once, I suggest picking your favorite two and giving them a go. The worst thing that could happen is you get your hair back so why not? Enjoy!
