Did You Know That You Can Detox Your Body Through Your Feet?

by January 27, 2017

Not all detox drinks work and sometimes we aren’t sure if the one we are trying is actually doing anything. This cost effective method will not leave you gagging!

You can use something known as an ionic foot bath to help draw toxins out of your body through your feet. This works because it uses an electrical process that creates negative and positive ions in saltwater. The process itself forces you to relax and focus on your breathing while alternating polarities. You don’t have to go to the spa for this you can actually do it right in the comfort of your home.

Ionic Foot Bath Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Bentonite clay
  • Epsom salts
  • Organic apple cider vinegar
  • A tub
  • Hot water

Directions:

  • Add one cup of Epsom salt into the water.
  • Allow the water to cool a little bit and separately (not into the tub with the water) add four tablespoons of the bentonite clay as well as two tablespoons of ACV into the mixture.
  • Put this mixture on your feet, make sure they are covered.
  • Wait ten minutes and then put your feet (with the mixture on them) into the water.
  • Allow them to soak for twenty to forty-five minutes.

This Brilliant Animated Video Will Forever Change Your Views on Addiction

by January 27, 2017

This video will give you a much deeper look into addiction and where it stems from. Who knew things were this intense?

This video is considered an adaptation of Johann Hari’s New York Times best-selling book called ‘Chasing The Scream: The First and Last Days of the War on Drugs.’ This is a very enlightened perspective on addiction, to say the least. Everything we think we know about addiction is wrong.

There is much more to addiction than just drugs. It is obvious that our environment plays a large role in addiction. This video makes perfect sense and has given me a better idea on things. “It is not the chemicals it’s your cage.” Please take the time to watch this very informative video.

Seed Bomber Can Plant 900,000 Trees A Day

by January 27, 2017

We may finally be reusing old airplanes for a good reason! This is so amazing!

After making a few changes to these old airplanes they are now able to drop seeds instead of landmines. This is thanks to Lockheed Martin and Aerial Reforestation Inc. They have anticipated that we will be able to plant at least one billion trees a year with this. This method is being referred to as “seed bombing” and it is becoming increasingly popular.

Aerial reforestation can be used in any area that has contained trees before as well as some desserts. It removes the equipment usually needed when it comes to planting seeds by hand. Some of these trees can grow three feet per year this means once they reach five foot the can be considered mature. It appears there are many kinds of trees that reach maturity in under ten years. This is a process that can help to counteract the negative effects from cutting down forests in general. Using this method we are able to plant several hundred times the amount of trees being cut down.

For more information on this fascinating process please watch the video below. I am blown away. This is something we have needed for a long time.

Harvard Study: Smoking Weed Improves Brain Functions

by January 26, 2017

In the last decade, there has been much controversy over the legality of marijuana. Many people still deny the proven health benefits of marijuana, and some are appalled at the fact that it is still federally illegal. A recent study by Harvard University showed that smoking marijuana improves brain function.

The study was published in Frontiers in Pharmacology. They stated that marijuana factually improves cognitive performance. Researchers from McLean Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and Tufts University have begun preliminary investigations that have found incredible benefits from the plant’s use, including the improvement of “our ability to utilize the knowledge acquired by mental processes in our brains.” 24 patients were studied over a three-month history.  The patients were consistently measured with cognitive testing, including the Stroop Color Word Test and the Trail Making Test. The patients did extremely well on the tests.

Participants of the study reported that they had improvements in their clinical conditions. They also reported that they had better sleep and decreased use of conventional medications. They particularly decreased use of opiates. They saw a 42 percent reduction in opioid use,” reported Gruber. “This is significant, particularly for those of us in Massachusetts and other areas of the country where the opioid epidemic is ravaging so many. This preliminary finding certainly warrants deeper and broader investigation.

There are many ongoing tests to be performed on medical marijuana. Marijuana has proven benefits in fighting cancer and many other deadly diseases. Marijuana is still federally illegal and is scheduled as a schedule 1 drug, saying that it is as dangerous as major drugs such as cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine. And, as Gruber points out, “people are going to use it.  It’s up to us to figure out the very best and safest ways in which they can do that.”

New Image Reveals What Really Goes Into A Jar of Nutella

by January 26, 2017

This image has been viral for a short time now, and reveals the major ingredients of Nutella. What do you think about this?

As you may already be aware Nutella is adored by many people. However, contains some shocking ingredient. The diagram shows the five main ingredients that are generally overlooked when checking out the ingredient list. These ingredients are palm oil, cocoa, hazelnuts, skimmed milk powder, and sugar. The size of each section is said to represent the real portions.

Fifty percent sugar, that cannot be healthy! A report conducted by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has recently made claims that palm oil is more carcinogenic than any other oil out there. It has been said on more than one occasion that this deliciously addicting spread carries cancer risks. Nutella will not deny or confirm the accuracy of this image as they claim their recipe is ‘top secret.’ According to their website, each jar (400g) contains 227.2g of sugar. This is more than half of the weight of the whole jar!

Palm oil is easily the cheapest oil on the market and is highly controversial. You could also credit it fo wiping out huge wildlife populations. This is because palm oil plantations make up over 27 million hectares of the Earth’s surface. These animals and rainforests have been destroyed to make room for them. While the company Ferrero that makes Nutella claims without palm oil the product would not be the same obviously just doesn’t want to spend more money using something else. By using palm oil they are saving anywhere from 8-22 million dollars a year.

According to Ferrero:

“One of Ferrero’s core nutritional beliefs is that small portion sizes help people to enjoy their favorite foods in moderation. The labeling on our products enables consumers to make informed choices and helps ensure that Nutella can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.”

It is obvious that Nutella is not good for us. Luckily, you can make a healthier version at home that tastes just as good. To learn how to make it please watch the video below. There is no need putting yourself at more risk of developing cancer. Removing this product from the shelves is something that needs to be done as soon as possible.

These Beautiful Tattoos Look Like Delicate Watercolor Paintings

by January 26, 2017

The art of tattooing is something that is constantly evolving. Crisp clear lines and bold colors are not the only way.

As technology and art advance we are able to come up with some amazing things. One tattoo shop in Korea known as Aro Tattoo specializes in quite the floral aesthetic. The artist’s name is Silo and she uses soft line partnered with bright colors to do fantastic things.

Her works look more like watercolor paintings than tattoos. She draws inspiration from flowers and animals. Her feminine floral creations are truly mindblowing. This is extremely creative and a great way to put your own spin on things. ‘Watercolor’ style tattoos are something that can help make them more acceptable as well in my opinion. Some people associate them with being dark and ominous but there is nothing ominous or dark about a pretty little flower tattoo that looks like it came off of a teacup. To see some of her work please look over the photos below or check out her Instagram.
