Detoxes and fasts are all the rage in health and beauty circles right now but they’re often astronomically expensive. Some programs charge $10 or more for a juice or bag of tea and that’s on the lower priced end. Many of these detoxes are ineffective scams and some can potentially do more harm than good.
If you truly want to cleanse and purify your body from the inside out you should do the following; chug a glass of water as soon as you wake up in the morning. This is something that just about everyone can manage and afford to do and it works.
Water in the morning can be compared to a detox because it helps cleanse the digestive tract, intestines, and colon. A cleaner system gives our bodies a better ability to absorb much needed nutrients from the foods we eat.
Naturally getting more vitamins and nutrients makes us healthier, stronger, and better prepared to fight off sickness and diseases. To fully harness all of the health benefits from water it’s best to drink a full 8 ounce glass of fluoride-free water on an empty stomach as soon as you wake up in the morning.
Allow the water to digest and do not eat or drink anything else for at least 45 minutes afterwards. Doing this helps to activate all of our internal organs and you start the day feeling refreshed.
The origins of this practice originate in Eastern Asia where both the Chinese and Japanese have followed it for years. In Japan, where it’s known as Japanese water therapy, it’s believed to provide several other positive changes to our bodies over time.
According to the Japanese Medical Society consuming water every morning can treat certain gastric issues, such as constipation, in 10 days and help lower high blood pressure in 30 days. There’s more information in the accompanying video on all of this and in addition to a morning glass of H2O there are several other ideal times you should aim to drink it to maximize it’s effectiveness, they are listed below:
1) Before each meal. Drinking 1-2 glasses of water about 30 minutes prior to eating a meal aids digestion by helping to prepare your stomach for the food that will soon follow. It also makes you feel fuller faster which can help you eat less and lose weight.
2) Before and after a workout. Drinking a glass at these times can help prevent dehydration caused by water loss due to perspiration.
3) Whenever you are tired. If you feel sluggish or exhausted chug a glass of water, it’ll wake up your body and help keep you alert.
Of course, you can always drink a glass of water anytime you’d like to! The points covered above are the best times to drink water when your body really needs it, so pass this along to loved ones and let them know how they can best clean their systems out.

Nobody Believed Him When He Described His Pit Bulls Morning Routine. So He Caught THIS On Camera

Pit bulls get a bad wrap because of their tough personalities, but inside the solid muscle and thick bone structure is a sweet and squishy heart. The pit in this video seems to have been an early peeping bird in a past life because her morning routine is flawless. She ever so gently wiggles up to her human’s bed and coos a soft cry of wake up. The man politely replies that its not quite time to get up yet and the dog reluctantly slinks away.
About fifteen minutes later, the grey dog comes back again! This time a little more persistent, the mongrel almost starts talking to her friend as if to explain to him why she believes that is in fact time to get out of bed. Likely, she’s detailing the itinerary of her morning and how he is major part in getting her day going.
The man has to get out of bed so that she can be let outside and then back in again to be served her sunrise meal. Then she’ll need to go back out again to chase squirrels and generally just patrol the area. It’s an important job for a dog in the morning. But alas, the human is still reluctant and shoos the poor girl away.
Finally, after another twenty minutes of unattended yard go by, the patient pup tries again. Still as unobtrusively as possible, she sounds her nurturing alarm and insists that she will not give up. Sweet success! The sleepy fellow agreeably begins departing his haven in order to assist the ambitious canine at his side.
With great excitement the dog realizes her achievement, jumps her front paws up onto the bed as if to say thank you, and is off to start her day.

We have all heard that water is essential for good health, and that many of us fall far short of the amount of water necessary to stay well-hydrated daily. According to a study done at Harvard, dehydration can lead to a multitude of problems; these include, poor concentration, muscle aches and bad breath, to name just a few.
The video you are about to view below focusses not only on dehydration, but on the amazing benefits that derive from drinking a WARM to HOT cup of water on an empty stomach, immediately upon rising. While all water is good, warm water as opposed to cold, has been shown to be far more beneficial for both health and beauty.
While I will discuss five of these benefits, the video expands on this discussion and gets into other beneficial aspects of drinking warm water first thing in the morning. To begin with, it enhances your ability to LOSE WEIGHT, as the warm water boosts your metabolism and aids in burning up fatty tissue. Feel free to squeeze fresh lemon in the warm water if you prefer.
A second effect of the heated water is that it increases blood flow and acts as a muscle relaxant. It is great in EASING MENSTRUAL CRAMPS; as it promotes an overall soothing effect, it can relieve muscle spasms.
Boiled water, (as opposed to cold), improves WELLNESS by providing an internal environment that fights bacterial organisms and thus enhances the body’s ability to fight infection. According to “Live Strong”, the increased circulation from warm water,
lowers the incidence of upper respiratory infections, by decreasing mucus.
Many people drink coffee first thing in the morning to get an energy boost, but at the same time the caffeine acts as a diuretic, which in excess will actually lower energy and brain acuity. Warm water is a DIGESTIVE AID; according to “Medical Daily”, drinking it on an empty stomach not only breaks down and flushes out oils from foods, but PREVENTS CONSTIPATION.
Warm water raises body temperature and boosts circulation, which in turn serves as a NATURAL DETOXIFIER. According to “Fitbody HQ”, this occurs by helping the body to sweat and excrete, thus naturally ridding itself of wastes and impurities. The practice of drinking warm water on an empty stomach has been a long tradition in Japanese culture.
As you will here in the video, this healthy practice may help to explain the fact that they suffer far less damage to their organs, and tend not to be attacked by life-threatening diseases, at the rate that we do, in Western cultures.

Apparently This Is The Reason Why You Should Be Placing Garlic Under Your Tongue Every Morning!

If you want to ward off evil spirits and vampires, hang a clove of garlic around your neck or on the door of your house. Ancient wisdom and old wives tales say that by doing so it helps keep such dark forces at bay. While that may or may not be the case, garlic is highly regarded as a well known powerhouse of a food that can help keep us healthy as the pungent bulbs provide our bodies with numerous health benefits.
If you eat garlic first thing in the morning, before breakfast and on an empty stomach, you can help strengthen and heal yourself. The following are some of the many health benefits that your body may naturally derive from it. Firstly, it is thought to be an anti-cancer food and it’s recognized by the National Cancer Institute as potentially having anticancer properties, although more studies are needed to determine how and why.
Its anti-cancer link may be due to the fact that it helps relieve oxidative stress. This means its natural antioxidant properties aid our bodies in removing the damage causing free radicals, and thus provides protection against them.
Garlic also reduces both blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels. Studies have shown it lowers the “bad” type of cholesterol that puts people at increased risk for heart attacks. Which leads us the fact that it helps prevent atherosclerosis, the narrowing and hardening of arteries that decreases blood flow and leads to blood clots and heart attacks.
In a similar ‘vein’ garlic promotes overall circulatory health because it acts as a natural blood thinner, making it easier for our hearts to pump blood, and reduces the risk of clots. Furthermore, garlic helps stabilize blood sugar. Studies show it increases the amount of insulin available in people with diabetes and thus helps regulate the amount of glucose in the blood.
Other associated benefits are that it improves impotence, prevents yeast infections, helps our bodies absorb minerals, cleans and reduces fatty build up in the liver, acts as a natural antibiotic, and protects against osteoarthritis. Oh yeah, and garlic is excellent at boosting your immune system because it’s packed with nutrients like fiber, Vitamins C and B6, potassium, and calcium.
If you ever have a cold skip the meds and instead pop some garlic since it has been proven to help reduce the severity of symptoms associated with the flu and common cold. To gain these health benefits, try placing a small clove of garlic in your mouth for 30 minutes every morning.
You don’t need to chew or swallow it since your body, and saliva, will do all the work. By doing this, the nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants in the garlic are taken up by your body and absorbed into the bloodstream. After 30 minutes has passed, spit out the garlic and brush your teeth, floss, and rinse.
Also, if you are sensitive to garlic odors, drinking milk helps to combat any potential remaining smells or tastes in your mouth. There you have it, some of the many ways that garlic can benefit your body, health and mind. Many people find that eating it raw is nearly impossible to stomach, since it’s so potent, and that cooking it makes it much more palatable and brings out the best flavors it has to offer.
Below is a recipe for oven roasted garlic. Now you have no excuse to not eat more of this super-food:
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees, take a bulb of garlic and remove the papery outer skin, then cut off the top with a knife. Take a piece of tin foil, lay it flat, place an equal size piece of parchment paper on top of the foil, and place the garlic on the parchment. Drizzle bulbs with olive oil and wrap them up tightly in the foil.
Place them on a pan in the oven and roast for 1 hour. Remove, unwrap, and allow to cool. Gently squeeze the garlic bulbs to remove the cloves and serve or use them right away. You may also place them in a covered storage container and keep them for a few days in the refrigerator.

The Harvard group ran another study and found that those who drank one cup of coffee daily had an 11% lower risk of developing type 2 Diabetes; the risk was reduced by 17% in adults who drank two cups daily.
In a study reported in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, it was found that older coffee drinkers who consumed 4 or more cups daily, showed a 20% significantly LOWER RISK of developing the most life-threatening form of skin cancer, malignant MELANOMA.
