Liver Cleansing Detox Smoothie

L iver Cleansing Detox Smoothie Published by  Kate   http://www.realfoodrn.com/liver-cleansing-detox-smoothie-recipe/ Our livers are responsible for detoxing our bodies every day, all day, all the time….no breaks. In this toxic world, we are overburdened with toxins. We come into contact with WAY more toxins in our modern world than people did even 100 years ago. When we do not properly support our body’s natural detoxification system it can quickly become overburdened and lead to chronic disease. One of the liver’s primary functions is filtering the blood. Almost 2 quarts of blood pass through the liver every minute for detoxification. Filtration of toxins is absolutely critical as the blood from the intestines contains high levels of bacteria, bacterial endotoxins, antigen-antibody complexes, and various other toxic substances. When working properly, the liver clears 99% of the bacteria and other toxins during the first pass. However, when the liver is damaged

Roasted Pumpkin Coconut Soup by PaleoPot

http://paleopot.com/2013/10/roasted-pumpkin-coconut-soup/ What you need: 1 small pie pumpkin, mine was 4 pounds even. I used 4 cups of cooked pumpkin flesh, go ahead and add more for a thicker soup. 1 tbsp of ghee or grass fed butter. 2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped roughly. 1 small bartlett pear, peeled, cored, and chopped. 4 cups of chicken stock. 1 can of coconut milk. 2 tsp cumin. 2 tsp cinnamon. 1 tsp ground ginger. 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional). Tools you need: 4 to 6 quart slow cooker. Baking pan with 1/2 cup water. Immersion blender , blender, or food processor. How you make it: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Carefully cut the top off of your pumpkin and then cut it in half. Large serrated knives can be easier. Then cut the pumpkin into quarters. Do remember to save the seeds for later if you enjoy roasting them. Coat the inner surfaces of your pumpkin sections with your ghee or butter, partially melted works best. Place your pumpkin shell

Freaking Out? Just B.R.A.K.E.

Freaking Out? Just B.R.A.K.E. BY  ADELMA LILLISTON We all have them: moments of freaking out. Our blood pressure rises, face flushes, heart pumps, and we become more reactive. Our wise adult self flies out the window as the mind becomes overwhelmed by emotion. So how do you catch yourself and come back to your center when you find yourself here? Try BRAKE. It’s a simple formula that takes only a few moments and works like a charm to return you to your normal, calm self. 1. Breathe deeply. All the way in. Hold for three seconds, all the way out. Do this until you are calm. 2. Reset. Take a step back and notice what, exactly, you're experiencing. What is your body feeling, what are your emotions? What's your mind thinking? Fear? Judgment? Shame? Naming it makes it just one small part of you, a moment, instead of everything you are. 3. Accept yourself and wherever you are right now. Rather than being a sign of weakness, this gives you strength. 4. Kindn

The DIRTY Truth About Canola Oil

The DIRTY Truth about Canola Oil - Have you been lied to about the health benefits of canola oil? by  Mike Geary , Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Nutrition Specialist Author of best-sellers:   The Truth About Six Pack Abs  &  The Top 101 Foods that FIGHT Aging If you've been following my  fitness newsletters  for some time, you may have noticed that I NEVER include canola oil in any of my recipes or any of my lists of healthy foods. Many people have asked me why, because all they hear in the mainstream media is that canola oil is "heart healthy" and a good source of monounsaturated fats similar to olive oil.  Well, first of all, you need to realize that much of what you hear in the mainstream media has been influenced by heavy handed marketing tactics by big food companies.  Canola oil is cheap for them to produce so they want to fool you into thinking it's a "health oil" so that people, restaurants, etc will buy it up as their main o
