What if there was a substance that would make your think more clearly and have more energy at work, where you need it most?
“There is. It’s called coffee,” you say. Nope! we say. It’s plain old water!
Plant sterols are now being added to many foods, like breads, juices, margarines and dairy products. Studies show that adding just two grams daily can quickly lower “bad” cholesterol by about 10 percent, which could mean a 20 percent lower risk of heart disease, the number one killer in the United States. That’s huge!
BUT wait a second -- are added sterols really safe? And who should take them, and who should avoid them?
Allergy season is upon us: trees bloom, flowers blossom and pollen flies hither onto our hair, thither up our noses and yon in our eyes. If you’ve got hay fever, here’s a surprising tip to stay sneeze-free: a daily dose of lime juice!
Yes, according to lore, half a lime --or about 4 packets of True Lime -- squeezed in warm water and taken in the morning will help fight off allergy symptoms like congestion, itchy and runny nose and watery, swollen eyes. Apparently the lime juice helps flush toxins and allergens from your system.
Easy! Just buy two 12-packs per week fewer than you have been. According to the feel-better, do-better site “Shift Your Habit” this could save you save $650 bucks over the course of a year.
If that much money doesn’t sway you, think about your health. Cutting down on soda is better for your body, too. Soda, whether it’s full sugar or diet, is linked to some pretty terrible health problems like obesity, weakened bones and increased risk of stroke and heart attack.
We know it hurts to put that expensive organic broccoli in the shopping basket instead of the cheaper, non-organic kind. Our brains tell us that organic is better, but our wallets cry out in pain from our pocketbooks.
So a mind/wallet compromise is needed. What if we only bought the organic versions of foods we knew had the most pesticides on them? That would make us feel better, and help us save money, too!
Sometimes it seems like if you even look at some people they bruise! If you’re a bruiser too, you can strengthen your cells with Vitamin C, found in tasty form in citrus fruits and in all-natural True Citrus.
Why we bruise. When capillaries (the tiny blood vessels near the surface of the skin) break, blood flows into the surrounding area. If the blood gets contained in the tissues under the skin, it shows as a bruise.
Mexico has a New Year’s resolution underway – better nutrition in public schools. That’s because one in three children in Mexico is overweight or obese.
In overweight and obesity rates*, Mexico is the top country. Thirty percent of adults are obese and 70 percent are overweight.
Seems Kraft, the makers of Crystal Light, is catching on to the fact that artificial sweeteners, colors and preservatives are not what people want to put in their bodies.
So, they’ve brought out “Crystal Light Pure” which apparently used to be “Crystal Light Pure Fitness” which is promoted as having “No Artificial Sweeteners, No Artificial Flavors, No Preservatives.”
Here at all-natural True Citrus, we’ve been reading lately that regular salt is junk food compared to the mineral-rich, nutritional awesomeness of sea salt. Is sea salt really that much better for us?
There are differences in salts
While you can be sure every packet of True Citrus gives you 25 percent of the recommended daily allowance of Vitamin C, it’s not as sure that fruits and vegetables are giving what they used to.
Several studies have shown big declines in nutrient values, likely caused by modern agricultural practices. That means you’re getting a lot less benefit for the same amount of calories!
