The #1 Reason to drink LEMON WATER first thing in the am
This is the most wonderful routine to get started on .
First thing in the morning, before you eat or drink anything else, wash a lemon. Lemon water is a great way to get your system alkalized!
Many people think that lemons are acidic, yet they are full of minerals that
help maintain the pH levels in the body.
 Your morning fix:
Squeeze the juice from one lemon half into a large mug
 Add warm, filtered water (not boiling water which will destroy some of the vitamins and enzymatic properties in the lemon)
  Drink slowly.  If it’s not inconvenient for you to wait 30 minutes to eat breakfast, do so.  This will ensure your body absorbs as many nutrients as possible

Beware of the DANGEROUS chemical in your antibacterial hand soap
It's amazing to see how after many years of knowing of the dangers of triclosan that it's still being sold in the anti bacterial soaps. Please pass this information to your family and friends.  Simple things like hand soaps are just part of the mix of chemicals that we come in contact with everyday. Read labels....triclosan = health problems
Meyers is one of the top brands that is all natural...and is even sold at home depot.
Hand Soap Could Cause Liver Cancer, New Study Says
An antibacterial agent called triclosan has been linked to infertility, impaired muscle function and now cancer. The FDA says it merits further review.

Health Alert! Dangerous Sweetners
You may not want to hear this, but the facts are in.  
Artificial sweeteners cause autoimmune response effects which can increase inflammation around the body and therefor, worsen Fibro symptoms.  The culprits? Aspartame, neotame, sucralose, saccharin, acesulfame. (Trade names include: Sweet-N-Low, Equal and Splenda.) Be especially alert when the packaging says "diet", "light", "0 calories" or "no sugar added" - as these products are often loaded with these and other chemicals.

All Natural Kidney Cleansing
Our kidneys are always filtering the blood by removing salt, poison and any unwanted entering our body. With time, the salt accumulates.  Here's a simple solution:  take a bunch of parsley or Cilantro ( Coriander Leaves ) and wash it clean. Then cut it in small pieces and put in a pot and boil it for ten minutes.
 Let it cool down and then filter it into a clean bottle and keep it inside refrigerator to cool. Drink one glass daily.  You will begin to notice all salt and other accumulated poison coming out of your kidney through urination. Parsley and cilantro (coriander) are known as best cleaning treatment for kidneys, parsley is the preferred choice.

Splenda...Certainly not Splendid..
I know a few years ago I was hooked on splenda. I thought it was the greatest. After all, the word out there was that it was natural sugar, without all the "bad" qualities.
I remember being in a coffee house, preparing my brew, and a woman was next to me, watching me pour splenda into my drink, and started to tell me about how dangerous it really is.. I was so not interested in hearing that! I LOVED my coffee with this miracle sugar...and here was someone trying to ruin my enjoyment.
Turns out, she was DEAD right. 
SPLENDA is also notorious for causing LIVER & KIDNEY DAMAGE in a surprisingly short amount of time. -- In fact, I had an emergency-room nurse tell me that they now ask incoming patients if they consume Splenda (sucralose) on their intake form. -- It's NOT FOOD, don't eat it! --
STEVIA is a much better choice.

Fast Foods that will make you SICK!
This information needs to be circulated...please forward on to your friends and family. It's through educating people that we can make a difference.   
McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell -- which one are you craving today? It's pretty likely that you have a favorite fast food chain and that you love many of the tasty options offered at these restaurants. It's hard to miss them. As of 2012, there were 263,944 fast food restaurants in America with a combined revenue of well over $100 billion.
With a Gallup poll revealing that 8 in 10 Americans eat fast food at least monthly and half saying they eat it weekly, these companies know they have a good thing going. And with all the savvy marketing they do, it's no wonder you're itching for that Big Mac. But before you scarf one down, you might want to truly evaluate what's going on with your fast food. Here are some truths that may make you wonder if you still want to go to there for lunch.
Look at this delicious egg sandwich from Subway:
Too bad you're eating a lot more than just eggs:
David DiSalvo, a writer at Forbes, decided to really look into the eggs in popular fast food breakfast sandwiches. What he discovered was that their "eggs" are really a strange concoction that includes eggs and "premium egg blend." Some things that are in this special blend include glycerin, a solvent found in soap and shaving cream, dimethylpolysiloxane, a silicone that can also be found in Silly Putty, and calcium silicate, a sealant used on roofs and concrete. The age of just cracking an egg and cooking it has long since passed.
Here's what you get when you order McNuggets:.
But this is what they may have looked like before:
"Mechanically-separated meat" is a mixture created when the bones and carcass of a leftover chicken are mixed together in a food processor. There's been a lot of back and forth about what that lovely pinkish sludge actually looks like, but chef Jamie Oliver decided to create a chicken mixture, shown above, to show what it might theoretically look like. This slime is then molded into a nugget shape, breaded and fried. Reddit user "Dfunkatron," who claimed to be a former McDonald's employee, told a horrifying story about his workplace:
" [...] I accidentally left a whole bag of about 100 chicken nuggets out on a counter for way too long. They melted. Into a pool of liquid. I never understood why. But they were completely indiscernible as being the nuggets i once knew."
Here's a Doritos Locos taco from Taco Bell:
And this is what the meat looks like before it goes into that taco:
This meat-in-a-bag looks extremely appetizing ... it sort of reminds us of gingerbread. Back in 2011, Taco Bell came under fire over claims that its meat was only 36 percent beef. While the controversy has been cleared up and we now know that Taco Bell is serving meat, there's something weird about the fact that it gets delivered in plastic-wrapped sheets.
Mmm, here's a yummy McRib:
And this is how it was delivered to your McDonald's:
Recently, the limited-time only McRib created headlines when a Reddit user shared what the McRib "patty" looks like frozen. Don't worry, the "breaks" in the meat aren't real bones.
Maybe you're trying to be healthy with a side salad:
But unfortunately it may have some questionable chemicals in it...
Unsurprisingly, most fast food restaurants don't list the exact ingredients in their lettuce -- you wouldn't think they'd need to -- but many places dust their salads with propylene glycol to keep the leaves crisp. While considered safe for consumption, propylene glycol can be found in antifreeze and sexual lubricants. Above, a picture of someone's Burger King "side salad." We can't tell what's on it, exactly, but it looks sad.
You love the tomato-based sauces at your favorite chain restaurant...
But the FDA is cool if that sauce has maggots and fly eggs in it...
On the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's reports on "Inspections, Compliance, Enforcement and Criminal Investigations," the agency says it's acceptable for sauces to contain "30 or more fly eggs per 100 grams" and "1 or more maggot per 100 grams." At those levels, you probably wouldn't notice, and if you did, it's really just protein anyways. But still ... yum.
Here are America's favorite fries:
And here are those fries after aging for three years:
(Credit: Imgur/atopiary)
These McDonald's and KFC fries were sealed in these jars in 2008, and the photo was taken in 2012. A little more than three years later and the McDonald's fries show few signs of aging. Marion Nestle, chairwoman of NYU's food studies program, told Salonthat you can thank heavy servings of preservatives for that ageless quality. She said McDonald's would have to use "a lot of sodium propionate to prevent bacterial or mold growth." If only eating fries would keep you looking so young.
There's nothing like an order of Papa John's pizza:
But the company refuses to tell you what's actually in their pies...
Their motto may be "Better Ingredients, Better Pizza," but Papa John's won't let you in on just what those "better ingredients" are. Melanie Warner, a writer for US News,found out firsthand when she called a Papa John's and asked about the ingredients. The employee told her, "I think they're listed on the website." When Warner realizedthe complete ingredient information wasn't actually listed there, she called Papa John's customer toll free number. She was told that if she wanted "additional information on allergen or nutritional info," she should leave a message with a certain representative. She left two messages and never got a call back.
While we're still largely in the dark, at least we know that Papa John's has pledged to stop raising sows in gestation crates, which confines pregnant pigs in small enclosures in which they cannot move. While mystery still remains as to what exactly is in Papa John's pizza, they're not the only ones who withhold this information.
Perhaps you would like to warm up with some Wendy's chili:
It's filled with sandy goodness...
Wendy's claims their chili has an "award-winning taste." Maybe that's because it has silicon dioxide in it. Also known as silica, silicon dioxide can be found in quartz or sand. It also serves as an "anti-caking agent,” allowing the chili to stay looking fresh.
Here is the McDonald's classic: a tasty hamburger:
And it looks like you can still eat it 14 years later:
Yes, that is what a McDonald's hamburger looked like after a man forgot it in his coat pocket ... in 1999. David Whipple, revealed to the TV show "The Doctors," that this 14-year-old burger appeared to have never aged. In 2010, J. Kenji López-Alt conducted a series of tests for Serious Eats to figure out if various burgers would rot over time. He theorized that the burger didn't "because its small size and relatively large surface area help it to lose moisture very fast. Without moisture, there's no mold or bacterial growth." We dare you to take a bite.
CORRECTION: A previous version of this post stated antifreeze contains propylene glycerol; it in fact contains propylene glycol.

How to Lose the PAIN....(of inflammation)
Making simple changes in your diet can result in BIG changes in your health.
It's never been more important than now to become a researcher and read the labels of the foods and beverages you're consuming. With all the processing and food additives used (there are over 2000 food additives used!), it's no wonder our society has developed a whole new array of health conditions...most of which begin with inflammation.
If you don't recognize an ingredient, or you can't pronounce an ingredient, then it's a red flag, a no permisso to enter your precious body. 
It is true after all, you are definitely what you eat.
Make smarter choices, eat whole foods.
