Dead Sea Herbs

We know that healthy person has healthy, glowing skin.
So instead of spending a fortune on skin care why don’t we take care of our health and use a few natural skin care products?
Healthy lifestyle and diet will do wonders. But in our times it is almost impossible to achieve because of processed food, stress and pollution.
To compensate for these modern health hazards I found natural supplements that help your body to do the job.
Isotonix OPC-3® Beauty Blend is an isotonic-capable food supplement that is made from a combination of bilberry, grape seed, red wine, pine bark extracts and citrus extract bioflavonoids, all found to be powerful antioxidants. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are bioflavonoids (complex organic plant compounds) found in fruits, vegetables and certain tree barks that provide exceptional nutritional benefits to the human body. Studies have shown OPCs to be up to 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing free radicals. Isotonix OPC-3 contains the only isotonic form of Pycnogenol in the world. Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, and the most clinically researched and powerful bioflavonoid.*

WASHINGTON – Government health officials warned dieters and body builders Friday to immediately stop using Hydroxycut, a widely sold supplement linked to cases of serious liver damage and at least one death.

The Food and Drug Administration said the maker of the dietary supplement has agreed to recall 14 Hydroxycut products. Available in grocery stores and pharmacies, Hydroxycut is advertised as made from natural ingredients. At least 9 million packages were sold last year, the FDA said.

Dr. Linda Katz of the FDA’s food and nutrition division said the agency has received 23 reports of liver problems, including the death of a 19-year-old boy living in the Southwest. The teenager died in 2007, and the death was reported to the FDA this March.

Other patients experienced symptoms ranging from jaundice, or yellowing of the skin, to liver failure. One received a transplant and another was placed on a list to await a new liver.

There was no immediate comment from the U.S. distributor of the diet pill, Iovate Health Sciences, headquartered near Buffalo, N.Y. Made by a Canadian company, Hydroxycut is used by people trying to shed pounds and by body builders to sharpen their muscles.

Dietary supplements aren’t as tightly regulated by the government as medications. Manufacturers don’t need to prove to the FDA that their products are safe and effective before they can sell them to consumers. But regulators monitor aftermarket reports for signs of trouble, and in recent years companies have been put under stricter requirements to alert the FDA when they learn of problems.

Health officials said they have been unable to determine which Hydroxycut ingredients are potentially toxic, partially because the formulation of the products has changed several times. A medical journal report last month raised questions about one ingredient, hydroxycitric acid, derived from a tropical fruit. The article said it could potentially damage the liver.

The best way to loose weight and to stay trim is the right lifestyle, right food (not diet), and commitment.

 Getting facials: Yes, that’s right — you can strike facials from your skin-care budget and actually be doing your skin a favor! Studies show that as many as 80% of people break out after a facial. Aestheticians often don’t know which products are right for the skin of each client, and may use ingredients that can worsen acne, or essential oils that tend to irritate sensitive skin. Even if you don’t break out, there are really no long-term benefits to facials.

Skin problems are sometimes little understood by the medical science. The skin is sensitive to the accumulation of toxic materials in the body, since it is an organ which stocks such materials and excretes them by perspiration.

There are all natural skin care products available that will benefit your skin health.

Also some natural products will keep your skin healthy from the inside.

YOU SKIP SODA (EVEN DIET)
Scientists in Boston recently found that drinking one or more regular or diet sodas every day doubles your risk of metabolic syndrome– combination of conditions that increase your chances of heart disease and diabetes. The exact culprit isn’t completely understood, but it could be the caramel color added to colas and other dark sodas, which increased the risk for metabolic syndrome in animals. Experts also speculate that exposing your tastebuds to the sweet fizzy flavor of soda conditions you to crave sugary foods, which can lead to weight gain. Whatever the reason, it’s an easy enough habit to quit.

YOU EAT AND DRINK PURPLE THINGS
Red wine, concord grapes, blueberries (okay, not quite purple, but close enough) all get that deep rich color from polyphenols- compounds that reduce heart disease risk and may even protect against Alzheimer’s disease, according to new research. So crack open a bottle of Pinot (don’t overdo it), snack on some grapes, or make a blueberry pie and ponder all the years that lie ahead. Talk about happy and healthy! Get healthy with these great recipes. Also check these great Antioxidants.

A technology based foods diet contains food that plops out of a box or can and is not nourishment, but most often generates internal pollution and toxic waste for the body to deal with. Food that does not nurture the body robs it of vitality. As the body struggles to digest it, these toxins lodge in the liver or in tissue as a xenotoxin or internal pollutant. Cholesterol building trans-fats such as margarine and processed cheeses, and over processed enhanced dead foods such as white flour and sugar create challenges for the organs and lymphatic system, the blood, and mental processes. An unbalanced or polluted liver may cause anger, fear, and depression. As consumers, we cannot trade our ability to make conscious and selective food choices to fatten a technology based food industry just because we are not empowering ourselves to make a small change in our habits. Many of our bad food habits are influenced by commercial advertising. Our vulnerable children sit and watch television in their spare time eating health-stealing packaged foods. They gain a lot of weight, and get angry and depressed, and may even develop diabetes from poor diet. Drive-thrus are especially harmful because we do not smell food cooking and our stomachs do not expect food. The big burger with fries sits in the stomach and ferments.
Periodically you need to detoxify your body.
You need to neutralize and drain toxic materials which accumulate in the body. Prevention is the best way to cut the medical expences.

7. AVOID: Chemical detergents, cosmetics, creams, and cleansers. After being horrified by the toxic elements that I am finding weekly in the bodies of the very young, I know that we are passing xenotoxins from generation to generation. These toxins are sucked into the body from our clothing via toxic cleaning materials.
      DO:For topical house cleaning I recommend vinegar with water, lavender and tea tree essential oils. Paraben free cosmetics, shampoos, and creams are an absolute must to avoid cancer. Avoid antimony in waterproof eye make-ups.

Homeopathic practitioners advice that we must regularly cleanse our body. A cleansing tea detox is a good and easy way to flush out the toxins that have built up inside our body. These toxins may have accumulated through the years. They are from the unhealthy food we take such as junk food or cholesterol-laden food.

People who practice regular cleansing can attest that they feel lighter and healthier after cleansing. Their skin also gives that radiant glow.

There are many recognized herbal tea benefits that vary from herb to herb. Many people prefer the use of organic herbal teas to relax their nerves, increase their circulation, or relieve their gastric distress because they believe that the liquid enters their system more quickly than a pill or tablet. It is also a simple fact that sitting down with a warm cup of an herbal beverage is itself a pleasant interlude in a stressful or hectic day.

As with the use of any natural or supplemental product, you want to make sure that you’ve done your homework and that you understand the herb you are using. Although by and large most herbs are completely safe for use, they can interact poorly with one another or with prescription medication and some herbs are not appropriate for individuals with given medical conditions.

Most commercial, western teas contain caffeine and exist to the contrary of the relaxing character of drinking tea.  In fact, drinking commercial tea will only serve to cause more stress as they contain an active stimulant like caffeine.  Drinking an herbal tea can help relax your body and mind.  Other teas, such as Nikuz Cleansing, serve as a detox tea, which will drain toxins your body accumulates while you’re sick.

There are a few benefits to drinking tea other than gossiping or having an alternative to drinking a latte and luckily they can positively affect your health.
