Beauty Is History (Part Two)

Hundreds of years  after the Egyptian empire fell, definitions of beauty became re-defined. Ancient middle eastern fashion trends gave way to progressive European styles. Great Britain took over and set the new trends in beauty and style. The craze  all across Europe  was a pale  skin tone . 1.) Tanned, sun-kissed  skin  was  typically associated with  being a commoner who worked out in the field  the whole day   along with  her  spouse . The  elite   level   women   obviously   would not   engage in   actual physical  labor  along those lines   and therefore, they remained indoors and typically had pale skin as a result of a lack of sun exposure.     A pallid appearance (which now indicates poor health) was, at the time, a key indication of immense wealth. Once you   acquired   an abundance of   wealth ,  then you definitely  didn’t  need to   labor .  Consequently,  a pale  skin tone  was  crucial to   many wealthy people . To  acquire this   appearan

The Stone Age Diet Solution

The dietary habits adopted by developed countries over the last centuries are largely responsible for many of the chronic diseases that are now commonplace in Western society. Diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer of the colon are virtually unheard of among the few hunter-gatherer populations still remaining in the world. The stone age diet is based on the foods that our hunter-gatherer ancestors would have eaten before they became farmers. Even over the last fifty years, our food has drastically changed. Where once our food was made up of simple, natural foods with minimal added ingredients, our food now contains a multitude of different ingredients. Often it can be hard to even find modern-day food that does not contain some form of milk or wheat, which are common triggers in food allergies, and this leads to people eating the same ingredients every day and often at every single meal. The stone age diet is nutritionally balanc

To Cleanse Or Not To Cleanse...

Russian Nobel Prize Winning Biologist Elie Metchnikoff (1845-1916) is credited with the famous expression " Death Begins In The Colon ".  Photo credit: wikipedia I couldn't agree more with him.  Recently, I was asked about the best way to take off the pounds & improve your health overall. There is no easy answer to this question because there are literally thousands (even tens of thousands) of techniques and methods to achieve this goal. I decided to start off with one of the most elementary and ancient techniques available. What Exactly Is Colon Cleansing? Simply put, it is the process of cleaning the intestinal tract and the colon for removing the toxins. Some of the methods used for the colon cleansing are injecting water, dietary supplement, laxatives, and herbs. People resort to colon cleaning mainly because any accumulation of the toxins in the intestinal tract will lead to various diseases. In The Beginning... It is believed that the ancient

The Basics Series: Part Two

Why Natural Therapies Work Natural therapies found in alternative medicine are considerably older than Western treatments such as invasive surgical techniques and antibiotics. Numerous experts theorize that herbal remedies and Ayurveda, the traditional medicine of India, may have existed for more than five millenia. One of the principal goals of natural healing is to completely break the cycle of dependency and allow people to have more control over their lives. Physicians and other medical professionals are very beneficial to society as a whole, but what happens when modern doctoring simply does not work? It is a known fact that antibiotics have saved millions of lives over the years. However, a recent resurgence of "old" viruses and germs are proving to be extremely resistant to conventional therapies. Antibiotics are no longer effective against them.

The Basics Series: Part One

Standard Treatment Regimen If you become ill, you'll naturally visit the doctor, get a diagnosis done and be given a prescription. You take the medication as prescribed, and hopefully, you will be cured. If additional symptoms develop, you'll be prescribed medication for those health issues as well. Each symptom gets its own medication and if those symptoms create additional issues...you get the idea. This is how modern health care works these days - an endless cycle of diagnosis and prescription. If it were suggested that you simply get garden herbs and roots for medicine, you may dismiss this recommendation as utter rubbish.
