Yes, the AMAZING NEWS is coming! What is the solution to the toxic tea problem? Here is how to avoid buying toxic tea: Buy loose-leaf tea and brew your own tea from scratch. (Surely, the pesticides will still be there, but at least you will be sure that those are Camillia leaves and not something else and you will avoid extra chemicals from the tea bag)... When possible, avoid tea from China. Buy organic, GMO free tea from companies that report where their tea is grown and how it is harvested. Remember that TEA IS NOT WASHED after harvesting! Learn to enjoy real taste of the herbal drink without addition of any additional flavors. Learn to read labels. Check the ingredient to avoid added flavors or GMO ingredients added to the tea leaves. Many restaurants use the cheapest tea brands that are known to be full of pesticides, so consider not ordering tea while out to eat. Learn about other infusion plants! Camillia is not the only plant that can be infused! Herbal infusions also have great medicinal effects and can greatly vary in taste. But make sure to choose herbal teas from reputable herbalists, because herbs need to be growing in an ecologically clean place, to be picked at certain weather, air dried with low heat, hidden from sun, etc. There is also the foreign matter in any herbs problem to consider. Although less severe than the pesticides problem! The American Herbal Products Association accepts: Plant parts of the same herbal raw material species, other than those labeled, should not exceed 5% (by weight), and all other foreign matter should not exceed 2% (by weight). 5g out of 100g of unknown dried plants IS A LOT plus 2 g of dried dust/bugs - is even more! Conclusion? Learn about your food sources! Why not learning and drying your own herbs? The top 3 pesticide-free tea brands are: Numi Tea, Buddha Tea and Mountain Rose Herbs. So what is the AMAZING NEWS? Unfortunately, this post is already too long. Tomorrow, I will have all the details! Stay tuned :) #tea #naturalflavors #greentea #naturalmedicine #valueyourhealth #naturoliz #naturopathicmedicine #fireweed #teaalternatives #herbaltea

AMAZING NEWS is coming soon! But first - a little introduction. Stay tuned! We often think of TEA as a healthy drink! Green tea has notorious properties that are known throughout the world. In the last couple of years, the consumption of tea has grown tremendously, much helped by the "healthy lifestyle" trends. But if we dig deeper, we will see that in order to produce enough for the demand, the tea companies are submerging those Camellia plants in pesticide...s. So much that it becomes a pesticide tea. Numerous articles have been written on the subject. "Of 49 Indian tea samples, 60% contained at least one pesticide above the safety limits set by the EU. For Chinese teas, the figure was 67%. All 18 samples contained residues of at least three pesticides." Still want to drink that? Ok! Lets drink organic! Yes, but... the word "organic" is used very widely. There are still some organic pesticides that can be harmful. Also, organic tea culture modifies the chemical composition of the plant and the infusion results with a less pronounced taste compared to the "regular" tea. That problem is usually compensated by adding some "natural flavours". What are those NATURAL FLAVOURS? As per the FDA: The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional. Natural flavors include the natural essence or extracts from plants. In other terms, the only difference between natural and artificial flavors is their source chemically, they're probably exactly the same. Examples are: boiled beetles, borax, sheep secretions, beaver anal glands etc. Next post - the good news! #tea #naturalflavors #greentea #naturalmedicine #valueyourhealth #naturoliz #naturopathicmedicine

So WHY is sugar SO BAD? - PART 1- Here are a few reasons. 1 Sugar accelerates aging... Sugar attaches to proteins by glycation. Structures contribute to the loss of elasticity in all body tissues. Skin, organs, and arteries. The more sugar the faster will be this damage. 2 Sugar interferes with immune function. It might suppress immune response. Sugar increases inflammation in the body, therefore forcing the immune system working harder and having less time to work on protecting you from newcoming invaders. 3 Sugar increases cancer risk Since it increases inflammation in the body, the immune system has less possibility to repair or distroy the constantly forming new abnormal cells. 4 Sugar is the main cause of Candida Bacteria and yeast feed on sugar and that, when these organisms get out of balance in the body, infections and illness are more likely to invade our body. 5 Sugar is the main contributor to Colon Inflammatory Diseases (IBD) When your micraflora is out of balance, the colon is not protected and inflammation start to occur. The main idea to get better from those conditions is to restore your microflora. #naturalmedicine #valueyourhealth #naturoliz #naturopathicmedicine #sugarsubstitute #sweettooth #sweet #diabetes #diabeticfriendly #sugarispoison #sugar #sugarrush #sugarskull

I would like to share my little experience with protein shakes. Protein shakes are a great tool to increase your protein intake without increasing your carbs and are easier metabolized than normal animal proteins. However, it is very important to: 1. Read the ingredients 2. Avoid artificial flavours and bad sugars (see my Sugars Cheat Sheet)... 3. Make sure it comes from clean sources. Organic and grass fed. I've tried Kaizen and iFit (Costco). It's very sweet, the ingredients are tolerable, but the feeling I had was very strange. I diluted it with the lemon juice to camouflage the taste, I drank it, but I wasn't feeling fed, satisfied. I always had to eat lots of other things to fill me up (cravings). I wanted to try NutriBurn. I hesitated for a long time because the ingredients caused me some concern eventhough my teachers and the company was assuring me that the quantity of those additives is so minimal, it would never cause harm. They also told me that the milk used to extract the whey came from tripple checked cows and only a small amount of milk was taken away from them, to make sure they had enough to continue to feed their calfs. (When babies are with their mommies, mommies create better quality milk compared to when their babies are taken away and the mommy is in deep sorrow) ... I hestitated because the price is more expensive too. But I decided to give it a try. For myself and for my clients. I hate recommending a product that _I personally_ don't enjoy taking and protein powders were that kind of product. Extremely useful, but I didn't like it until... NutriBurn arrived. It is barely sweet, I can play with the taste. The texture is creamy, so I don't need to add oats milk to it. I drank it and.... I don't feel stuffed!! ... and the hunger is just...gone .. Weird .. I am as light as before, but no hunger, no cravings .. I think of food, but only out of habit, not out of need. Supper happy! Definitely worth it!! Being stuffed! - no thanks! I prefer to be well nurished!!
