They're testing human products on non-human species. According to the Humane Society of the United States, this means that the consumer safety simply isn't guaranteed. The results are variable and difficult to interpret, which means data does not apply to humans. All these animals are killed, maned and tortured for findings that just don't help make beauty products any safer.</span></div>

<br />Bethany Montecalvo/Goorganicbamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05944232317470611257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020710987242961972.post-3494575996548024012017-10-23T12:06:00.003-07:002018-12-06T19:35:24.551-08:00Teeth whitener.... Go Black Whiten Teeth With Charcoal?
<br />
<br />
I was kinda skeptical that charcoal could actually help whiten teeth. I also, kept it around the house, I’d also seen first hand what happens when it spills on a kitchen floor (grout = permanently ruined) so I was afraid it would stain my teeth and not whiten them.<br />
<br />
How Charcoal Works<br />
<br />
Activated charcoal is a highly absorbent substance. It removes toxins when they adhere to the surface of the charcoal. It is not absorbed by the body, but passes through the GI system, so chemicals and toxins adhere to it, which then pass through the body and are expelled by the digestive system.<br />
<br />
In the 1800s, two men took lethal doses of poisons (including arsenic) and survived without harm… their secret: they mixed the poisons with activated charcoal powder. (Stating the obvious: do not try to repeat these experiments!)<br />
Activated charcoal is extremely effective at binding to toxins from household chemicals, ingested medicines, and other chemicals from the body, especially when taken within 30 minutes of ingestion. For this reason, it is a great first treatment for any kind of poisoning, but should not be taken within several hours of medications (or even vitamins) that DO need to be absorbed.<br />
<br />
People use Activated Charcoal when They have an awful bout of food poisoning, it workes wonders! Suggested use is to mixed about a tablespoon of activated charcoal with water and drink quickly. The food poisoning symptoms went away within a couple of hours. This one dose was enough to remedy most food poisoning, but others report having to take this dose several times within a day before finding relief.<br />
Charcoal is not a substance I would take regularly, as it can cause constipation and block mineral absorption if it is taken when it is not needed. Also, it can’t be mixed with dairy products or many foods, as they lower its effectiveness. Charcoal can also cause dehydration in large doses so it is important to consume enough water when charcoal is consumed.<br />
So, it’s all well and good that activated charcoal is an effective poison remedy… but does it really work to whiten teeth.<br />
I did some research and found out that even though it temporarily makes the mouth look extremely black it has the same effect as it does when ingested: it pulls toxins from the mouth and removes stains. Fair warning: when you open your mouth, it is completely black and rather scary looking!<br />
To my surprise, all of the black washes away and it makes your teeth feel extremely clean and smooth. After a few uses, my teeth were noticeably whiter too.<br />
Further research I’ve done on this showed that activated charcoal can actually be helpful in changing the pH and health of the mouth, and as such is effective in preventing cavities and killing the bad bacteria present in tooth decay and gingivitis. For this reason, I now use it as part of my remineralizing protocol for teeth, along with my remineralizing toothpaste.<br />
<br />
Of course, it is important to check with your own doctor and dentist before using this or any substance internally or orally.<br />
<br />
How I Used Charcoal to Whiten Teeth<br />
<br />
Dip a clean, wet toothbrush into the powdered charcoal (or dump a capsule of charcoal on the toothbrush). Lean over the container of charcoal and quickly put the charcoal covered toothbrush in the mouth (this is to protect your sink). Brush in small, gentle circles for 2 minutes, spit carefully and rinse really well.<br />
<br />
Your mouth will feel amazingly clean…. your sink, not so much! Use as often as needed. Readers have also reported mixing the charcoal with water and swishing with it for two minutes.<br />
<br />
Where to Get Activated Charcoal<br />
<br />
Most natural health stores carry activated charcoal in loose powder or capsule form and it is also available online. I keep both the powdered and capsuled forms on hand in case it is needed for poisoning and I keep the powder in a small glass jar for tooth brushing. Make sure that the charcoal is from wood or coconut sources and not petroleum-based.<br />
<br />
It is also very important to note the difference between food/supplement grade activated charcoal and other forms of charcoal. I hope it goes without saying, but I’ll say it to be safe:<br />
<br />
Do not use any other form of charcoal besides activated charcoal in your mouth or internally. Do not use leftover charcoal from a BBQ grill or charcoal briquettes. Do not use charcoal pencils or any other type of charcoal.<br />
<br />
Charcoal Whitening FAQs<br />
<br />
I’ve received some of the same questions about this process multiple times so I’ve asked friends who are dentists and done further research to try to answer them:<br />
<br />
Does it Stain Crowns/Veneers/Fillings?<br />
<br />
I don’t have any of these in a visible place to be able to share any firsthand experience. Readers have reported trying this method of teeth whitening without a problem on these types of surfaces, but I’d definitely recommend checking with your dentist before using this or anything else if you have any of these.<br />
<br />
Does Charcoal Pull Calcium From the Teeth?<br />
<br />
Another question that I’ve received often. As always, check with a dentist if you have concerns about your teeth and before using any substance to whiten them. From the research I found, charcoal binds mostly to organic compounds and not minerals so there should not be a concern of it pulling calcium from the teeth.<br />
<br />
Is Charcoal Too Abrasive for Teeth?<br />
<br />
This is one concern that some dental professionals have expressed about whitening teeth with charcoal and it is a valid concern. I was unable to find any research that evaluated how abrasive charcoal was to the surface of the teeth. A suggestion from my friend who is a dentist is to use the charcoal without brushing or scrubbing.<br />
<br />
She suggested that anyone worried about charcoal being abrasive or anyone with sensitive teeth could accomplish the same thing by simply dabbing charcoal onto the surface of the teeth with a finger or cotton swab and letting it sit on the surface of the teeth for two minutes before swishing with water and rinsing.<br />
<br />
This would allow the charcoal to come in contact with the surface of the tooth long enough to remove surface stains without the brushing or scrubbing action that could be too abrasive.<br />
<br />
What Kind of Stains Does Charcoal Work On?<br />
<br />
My dentist friend also advised me that activated charcoal will only work on surface stains that it is able to bind to, especially those from drinks like coffee and tea. This is because it creates its absorbent properties which allow it to pull these stains from the teeth. It won’t usually work on teeth that have yellowed from antibiotics or other internal problems.<br />
After using the activated charcoal for a few months and swishing with diluted regular 3% hydrogen peroxide when I remember (at the recommendation of a dentist) I am really happy with how white my teeth have become!<br />

It is also referred to as Salt Lake because of the hyper saline nature. This sea is considered to have the lowest lift on land and is thus the deepest lake in the world. Because of its saline nature which is even saltier than the oceans most of the aquatic animals and plants are not able to sustain life in this sea which is why the name Dead Sea is given to it. It is 55 km long and 18 km wide when it comes to dimensions. Many cosmetics items and herbal sachets have been made by utilizing the salt and minerals of the Dead Sea. It is also a famous tourist spot because of its beneficial nature. The climatic conditions are usually dry and sunny during summers and cold during winters at the location where the Dead Sea is situated. It contains many minerals such as calcium, zinc, potassium, magnesium, boron, lithium, sodium and what not and thus is also a health research center as it provides various health related advantages. Salt and minerals of the Dead Sea are used for the treatment of many health problems. This article consists of the top ten surprising health benefits of Dead Sea that many people are not aware of.<p>10. CALMS DOWN THE NERVOUS SYSTEM</p><p><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLtmO8MqMMoejLadE4QWiOFqMsOtfvGIohZB-6bYItltnyCqD4XRrtIrwF87K0jklb_hP6ce9ifIFOF84dfJ34PQrybRROLSE9jUiI6_iBVZ_hjlqTHNCinuAdAfMlwZy8AUPjYCCZ/" alt=""><br></p><p>Nervous System as we all know is an important part of human body and if nervous system malfunctions then it can lead to many problems such as damaging of the nerve cells of brain and spinal cord which may lead to difficulty in swallowing, speaking and breathing and thus rapidly progressive weakness. Thus failure of nervous system will either lead to paralysis or death. Floating or swimming in the Dead Sea can prevent all theses diseases as Dead Sea contains salt and huge amount of different minerals and most importantly Bromine which is an essential constituent that promotes relaxation and thus calms down the nervous system. Also, Zinc and Magnesium which are commonly known as the calming minerals in our body are also found in abundance in Dead Sea which thus helps to calm our nerves.</p><p><br></p><p>9. INCREASES BLOOD CIRCULATION</p><p><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZdsFw-4ubIfQAZU7UVlciAcNqhV7vbQregsfdvJL9UAgOA0JrJYCNkvJt5td-f22mDEFQHhSDH-qkUOVBXnj6h6RRdZ5OHCUwsYdNCyikVKmu9QEU9OvtPyKBHIy9ET25KGOGNHvn/" alt=""><br></p><p>Proper blood circulation is very important for a person to stay healthy and fit because if blood is not circulated efficiently then it could prove dangerous as if any area will not get proper access to blood then it may lead to death of the tissue of that area which thereby will cause malfunctioning of that part. When people spend time in the water of the Dead Sea then the minerals such as Magnesium, Potassium and Iron which are present in there are absorbed by the skin and thus helps to increase the blood circulation of the body thereby keeping the body healthy.</p><p>8. HELPS TO REDUCE HEART PROBLEMS</p><p><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7-a6vLGMVuKlI9TsQSka_RIVeYpF5T7Wknok-kr3SQQg05hpMRekbB7gxix3FTYHLdECvLWSofkO4Xw1asAZCfVT2sXKZGXoyMpkKmpscA75NGLIUTzaggRQPdEKZrdaDvMIVNBKK/" alt=""><br></p><p>Heart problems or heart diseases which are also referred to as cardiovascular diseases are very hazardous to one’s life. The most common reason of heart diseases is either thickening of blood vessels due to accumulation of fats or due to hypertension. Many deaths have been recorded worldwide due to cardiovascular diseases. Floating in the Dead Sea tends to relieve from hypertension and also the presence of Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium helps to control blood pressure thereby reducing the risk to heart diseases and thus ensuring long and healthier life. It is advisable for the heart patients to either swim in the Dead Sea or to apply the sand of Dead Sea over the body so as to keep the heart problems under control.</p><p>7. PREVENTS HAIR LOSS</p><p><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2N35mPqI5PKFIV4H9wMISvTW9Ahy-95G_5ceVRQf9O0i5kc3Opi4S3mivziOKXRMib7kciGbKTmHYgSALPBcgzRhFW-JwIMhloaEpRLjR2xlOJtKJRIi6U0m-3FnNeYABC-Hg4LTg/" alt=""><br></p><p>Hair loss is seen in many people because of many causes such as stress, due to high fever of viral diseases for a prolonged period, malnutrition, genetic reasons, harmful drugs, side effects of cosmetics, unhealthy water and many other reasons. Sand of Dead Sea has proved to be very effective for preventing hair loss. Many cosmetic products have also been launched which contains Dead Sea sand in order to treat hair related diseases and for the treatment of hair loss. Calcium which is the one of the essential mineral responsible for healthy and shiny hair is also the major constituent of Dead Sea. Thus, applying the sand of Dead Sea on the hair will provide a glowing appearance to the hair and will also prevent the hair from damage and loss. Also, washing hair with the water of the Dead Sea make it more smoother and softer.</p><p>6. REDUCES STRESS</p><p><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg11WDO6MWZ9zLim-QeeskcsP-m0DQbz6RhPM1aH5HJ1dkeEmlzOPcWh6lra3aRmwZxXhJc7YS5GqJODMJtOmfjdCnurAeKFCy3DvDA2hxhD6NDYKUttoQlDpsrvSYa59Awp54ltR5m/" alt=""><br></p><p>Nowadays, due to hectic schedule and never ending demands, each and every person faces stress either due to one reason or the other. Stress can prove to be very hazardous as it is the root cause of most health problems. It can lead to heart diseases, depression, autoimmune diseases, sleep problems, digestive problems, obesity, skin conditions such as eczema and many other physical and mental health problems.</p><p>It is a well known fact that swimming helps to reduce stress. Swimming in the Dead Sea will thus help to reduce stress plus it has an added advantage of the Magnesium present in it which is also referred to as an anti stress mineral. Even if one does not know swimming, he or she can easily float in the water of the Dead Sea as the excess of salt present in the Dead Sea helps one to float in the water without drowning.</p><p>5. REDUCES JOINT INFLAMMATION</p><p><br></p><p>Joint inflammation which is usually characterized by joint pain, loss of functioning of joints, joint stiffness, swelling of joints or redness is a problem that is faced by many people. It can also affect internal body organs and can thus lead to pain in organs. Presence of Calcium, Potassium, Boron and Strontium is very essential for the body to prevent inflammation and availability of these minerals in the water and sand of Dead Sea thus helps to reduce joint inflammation to a great extent.</p><p>4. SLOWS DOWN SKIN AGING</p><p><br></p><p>Wrinkles are the most undesirable thing on the face and to prevent this people use a lot of cosmetic products and items. Dead Sea offers the free and effective treatment to deal with skin aging. Sulfur present in the Dead Sea helps to provide softness and smoothness to the skin. Sodium on the other hand heals the dryness of the skin. Lithium and Strontium treats skin problems and Manganese helps to form a healthy and glowing skin layer. Thus, the sand of Dead Sea when applied over the body not only slows down skin aging but also provide sanguine and florid skin.</p><p>3. REPAIR DAMAGED TISSUES</p><p><br></p><p>Phosphorus and Magnesium plays a vital role in repairing damaged tissues. Phosphorus is available in tissues and cells throughout the body and is thus needed for maintenance, growth and repairing of cells and tissues. Magnesium also helps in self repair of damaged tissues. Both of these minerals are found in abundance in Dead Sea. When one relaxes near the shore applying the sand of the Dead Sea or swims in the water of the Dead Sea, then these minerals are engrossed by the skin pores and help in the repair of the damaged tissues, thus adding up one more point to the health benefits of the Dead Sea..</p><p>2. HELPS TO STRENGTHEN THE BONES</p><p><br></p><p>Bones which are made up of Phosphorus, Calcium and Sodium are strengthened when the availability of these minerals is up to the mark in the human body. Deficiency of any of these minerals can lead to weakening or thinning of the bones and many other health problems. Dead Sea which is a pool of these minerals help to strengthen the bones by providing access to these minerals to the surface of the skin either through swimming or by applying sand paste to the body.</p><p>1. BOOST UP THE ENERGY</p><p><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkDj8oLFmMNzwYjX3g6UsKbGBavxhtIfTvxJh6w6BCe7BGLA-3GtmoSxEueBAxWCtDRiBvIVAZ8Ogq2Lr0_gbWoMqASCIZ033K1M2nz-5NZPGhDHcKzzQnF2l-SwqYUsOTrUiusLUC/" alt=""><br></p><p>As we know that Phosphorus is utilized by living cells to produce energy and is a necessary component for the creation of new cells in the body and Magnesium on the other hand also helps in energy metabolism process and thus these two are essential components in producing energy. Being in contact with the water and sand of Dead Sea provides the body surface with these minerals and thus helps the body to boost up the energy level thereby making the person more energetic and healthy. </p><p>That’s what we all want at the end of the day. To be well and feel our very best.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Good beauty afternoon. If you are a client of mine or a friend, you've heard me talk about FrownieS and Essential oils.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Everyone always wants to know what they could do for wrinkles on the face naturally. This what I use and suggest. I've been using this for many years. FrownieS and Frankincense oil from Doterra. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Doterra essential oil's are amazing. No matter where I go, everyone will always see me with my Oil's. True oil's you can take orally, topically, diffuse them, or even put them in foods. Not all oil's are the same. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">A little cool info about Frank, this oil will literally blow your mind. What is it </span>good for? It can actually reduce the appearance of sunspots and age spots. If you have uneven color on your skin, some whiteness in some areas, any spottiness or splotchiness, frankincense oil is the number one ingredient that can help even out skin tone and help get rid of sunspots and age spots.</span><br />
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Frankincense essential oil is a powerful astringent, meaning it helps protect skin cells. It can be used to help <a href="https://draxe.com/natural-acne-treatment/" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><strong style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">reduce acne</strong></a> blemishes, the appearance of large pores and wrinkles. The oil can be used anywhere where the skin becomes saggy such as the abdomen, jowls, or under the eyes. Mix six drops of oil to one ounce of an unscented oil like jojoba oil and apply it directly to the skin. Be sure to always do a small patch area though first to test for possible allergic reactions.</span></div>
<div style="border: 0px; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 18px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Frankincense has the ability to strengthen skin and improve its tone, elasticity, defense mechanisms against bacteria or blemishes, and appearance as someone ages. Studies have shown that it helps <a href="http://www.znaturforsch.com/ac/v58c/s58c0230.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="border: 0px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">tone and lift skin, reduces appearance of scars and acne</a>, and heals wounds. It can also be beneficial for fading of stretch marks, surgery scars or marks associated with pregnancy, and for healing dry or cracked skin. Are you ready to buy 10 bottles now? It's worth the money and<span style="background-color: yellow;"> Frank only has</span> one ingredient, frankincense. There's no other preservatives or crap in it.</span></div>

<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">FrownieS have been around since the 1889. They paved the way in </span><span style="background-color: white; letter-spacing: -0.23999999463558197px;">show Alfred Hitchcock TV series in the 1950's.

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: helvetica;"> </span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">They are basically a flesh colored piece of construction paper. One side has a matte finish and the other side is the shiny side and when wet it becomes tacky like glue. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You apply it to the desired areas on your skin at night after your lotions and potions. The tacky area gets pressed into the skin. Before you do that remember to pull that area nice and tight, then apply. At night the way we sleep can cause and reinforce wrinkles on the face, neck, and décolleté. </span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal; min-height: 13.8px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I will always be honest with everyone and the realistic expectation's of product's. Frownie's will not stop the sagging or loss of volume in your skin. You need Frank and Micro-needling needling for that, please free free to call me for a reservation and pricing. You also need fillers, I suggest Rachelle Depetro at the Skin Center. She is amazing and a true artist. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
More and more evidence suggests that the toxins in our environment, foods, water, air, personal care, cleaning and beauty products, plastics, petrochemicals, herbicides, insecticides, pesticides hormones in meats, medicines, pharmaceuticals, dusts, dust mites, allergens, bacteria, viruses, pathogens, electromagnetic pollutions from our cellular phones, computers, TV's, microwaves, power lines etc. can have a very negative effect on our bodies and our health.<br />

The presence of toxins in our body in any amount is not healthy or beneficial and the accumulation of toxins is harmful and may lead to fatigue, general aches and pains, declining appearance, performance, decreased focus and mental sharpness, premature aging, allergies, and many other chronic diseases. Although it may seem harmless to many people, medical science is discovering that releasing and cleansing these toxins can have a great impact on health.<br />
<br />
An ionic detox foot spa or a series of them can help your bodies natural cleansing and detoxification process. Feet soak in electromagnetically charged water and a half hour session may help recalibrate energy levels and detoxify the cells.<br />
<br />
With the treatment I do on my client's, your body is completing an electrical circuit where a small current, too low for you to feel, is passed through your body stimulating and creating an energizing and refreshing effect. At the same time, a larger current is directed to the array in water. The array contains two sets of metal plates or rings, one set that acts as the anode and reduction at the cathode. As part of the process, gas is released. Bubbles will form depending on the amount of fats released from the body during the process. The treatment will infuse your body with negative ions to balance, relax, refresh, restore, and de-stress.<br />

Negative ions may explain! Negative ions are molecules which have more electrons then protons thus giving it a negative charge. These ions are created in nature as air molecules are separated due to sunlight, and moving air and water. Although the peace of being surrounded by nature is a reason enough to go outside, evidence shows that negative ions are released in these environments can aid your body's health and well being.<br />
<br />
Pierce J. Howard, PhD, the director of research at the Center for Applied Cognitive Sciences in Charlotte, N.C. stated: "Generally speaking, negative ions increase the through of oxygen to the brain; resulting in higher alertness, decreased drowsiness, and more mental energy.<br />

The kind I can toss out the window and rescue someone with. Growing up, I heard that I have thin but a lot of it. That's great and all but I want some serious locks. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">My hair has always been long and I started wearing extensions. The clip in's, the semi permanent, and Halocouture hair. I recently cut my hair all off! Worst mistake of my life. I truly disliked it. It's growing thankfully. I love the stage it's in now because it's shoulder length and I can toss in some entensions when I want. I call my Halocouture my Cher wig. Love it. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I'm always trying new natural ways to plump my locks. Found one I actually like and I feel works. Consistency is the key to life folks. Here's my goddess locks recipe:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">2 Tablespoons of Cold Pressed Castor </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">1 <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">Organic Egg</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">1 Tablespoon Raw Honey</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">You can put this in a container and store in the fridge. Mix it together before letting in set in fridge. You should do this twice a week for 6 weeks. I separate my hair like I'm putting hair color on. Same method with this.

Today I wanted to give you two awesome products that can make a difference in your life. As you know I'm always on the search to find good products that actually are good and what they advertise is the truth. We know how hard that is to find. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHpjpHGB_MAllyrmwqcmqUcpdcemh0nuszZVHhkuHxN8FDs2fnmj_5ndOZlo2kApc6Un60nVFjW8S1xh13lo0-qIEAvSK5tSeb1osCTRsyJNuCHUHQWhkgGrUDz5Wpkgxaoa7qOXWJ/s640/blogger-image-1057293378.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHpjpHGB_MAllyrmwqcmqUcpdcemh0nuszZVHhkuHxN8FDs2fnmj_5ndOZlo2kApc6Un60nVFjW8S1xh13lo0-qIEAvSK5tSeb1osCTRsyJNuCHUHQWhkgGrUDz5Wpkgxaoa7qOXWJ/s640/blogger-image-1057293378.jpg"></a>I attach this picture for what I had for breakfast. I absolutely am in love with a company called "The Sproutman". I get yoga salad or protein power salad. You're probably thinking well what the heck is that? Let me just share with you the goodness and power that are in these little packages. The yoga salad <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">has organic alfalfa, organic arugula, organic red lentil, organic French lentil, organic peas. It's all organically grown fresh sprouts are grown with pure well water. You could put these sprouts on sandwiches, salads, tacos, soups, omelettes and basically anything. What does sprouting really do for a body and why is it so amazing for us. I debated breaking all of this down until I found someone that explained it so well that I'm going to attach the link to his website because he is on point. </span><a href="http://superhumancoach.com/benefits-of-sprouted-legumes-beans-and-lentils/" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">http://superhumancoach.com/benefits-of-sprouted-legumes-beans-and-lentils/</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Secondly I always drink organic juice in the morning. The purpose of juicing is to get greens in with a minimal amount of fruit. Your base should be all greens and one fruit if any. It shouldn't be all fruit and a handful spinach. There's a variety of ways to get your greens in your diet when juicing. You can juice at home but then you have to worry about getting all organic produce and also understanding and have a knowledge of what type of juicer to get. I'm all for juicing at home if you have the time. I have a juicer but truthfully I'm lazy. I would rather just pay to have it done so I don't have to clean out the machine. I'm not saying that's the right way, that's Bethanys lazy girl away. You can go to a<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> juice place but just make sure it's organic and not conventional veggies you're getting juiced. Lastly you could buy organic coldpressed juice. The Thing with this is you don't know how long it's been on the shelf and after a couple of days it does start to lose its nutrients. Always buy organic I can't stress that enough when it comes to juicing. I tell my health coaching clients that any type of greens is better than none when it comes to juicing. I don't care how you get it in your diet to start just get it in</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> because I know at times it can be stressful. I have a lot of clients that asked me well what about regular juicing or coldpressed juicing. I'm a cold pressed girl because you're getting all the nutrients pressed out. Cold pressed is </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">a slow and careful process of hydraulically extracting fruit and vegetable juice, you not only get the highest quality plant-based nutrition available, you also get the freshest tasting juice possible.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"></span></div><p style="vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Cold press juicers use just enough pressure to extract the juice while preserving its vitamins, enzymes, trace minerals and overall nutrients up to five times more than any other juicer.</span></p><p style="vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Because cold press juicing is so precise with its process of extraction, there is minimal air and heat so very little oxidation occurs. </span></p><p style="vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I bought Suja elements "Power Greens". Their company they use cold pressure also known as high pressure processing HPP, instead of high heat to extend shelf life and help maintain essential vitamins, minerals and enzymes. All of their products are certified organic, non-GMO and cold pressured, made sunny in San Diego. They also use locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. Their product is gluten free dairy free soy free PBA free vegan no added sweeteners. The power greens that I buy only has 4 g of sugar per 8 ounces. That deserves A hoot and holler! </span></p><p style="vertical-align: baseline; padding: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 20px;">I hope I educated you guys on some good things to add into your diet and spired you to make a change for the absolute better.

Our skin is our largest organ. I tell my clients it's like a sponge. Non-organic deodorant's contain some of these harmful cancer-causing ingredients. <span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Most conventional deodorants contain a slew of toxic chemicals, such as <b>aluminum chlorohydrate</b>, <b>parabens</b>, propylene glycol, <b>triclosan</b>, TEA, <b>DEA</b>, FD&C colors, and <b>Talc</b>, among others.

You can use a foundation flat brush to mix up the product. It should be like a yogurt consistency. Gently rub in a circular motion under your arms and let sit for a few minutes. Wipe it off and do every day until the odor subsides. Throughout the day if are smelling some FUNK, it's you! That's normal and you're detoxing. You are welcome to soak a cotton ball with apple cider vinegar a wipe throughout the day if you smell.</span></div><div><br></div><div>Detox should go on for six days.

<br>
I am not the type of girl that stays home and cooks for hours! I would hate that so much!! I am busy all the time and need fast good healthy eats. My typical day starts by opening my eyes and saying "I'm Late"! I feel like that Bunny in Alice N Wonderland that has that clock and is always running and always late.<br>
<br>
I used to battle with making the perfect meal and that meant from scratch, perfect proteins, carbs and juicing every day!! Then I would have to start the process of getting dressed and looking my best in that area and it just went on and on. One of the best things about getting older is that you really start to love yourself the way you are. Perfectly imperfect! I love everyone but if you don't like me, I'm okay with, that and it doesn't bother me a bit. I still love you though. Through life's lessons, I've started to realize how to make some areas in my life efficient.<br>
<br>
<br>
My goal as a Health Coach is when I work with families or one on one to make food, FAST, EASY and GOOD! Every bodies body is different. I do not believe that one diet, one exercise, works for everyone. We all have different aches, pains, and struggles with our bodies and we need to figure out what works best for us. I get asked a lot, just tell me what to do to fix me. That's like asking a professional MMA fighter to teach you everything he knows in 30 minutes. Impossible! It took a while for you to get to this point and it will be a journey back. This time though, it will be a beautiful journey back!<br>
<br>
<br>
Let's chat protein. When you think of protein, what is the first word that comes to play? Chicken, or maybe peanut butter. What are protein sources? How much? How often? I want to encourage you to look outside the box today and think about some great alternatives that are FAST, EASY, and GOOD!<br>
<br>
<br>
<b>Grains</b><br>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Brown rice provides 5 grams and 1 cup of cooked quinoa provides 9 grams. Seitan, or isolated wheat gluten, is much higher in protein, with 31 grams of protein in a 3-ounce serving. Japanese Soba Noodles provides 5.8g protein per 1 cup. Kamut provides 9.8g cooked per cup. Amarath cooked provides 9.3g per cup.</span></span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><br></span></span></span>
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><b>Legumes</b></span></span><br>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;">Legumes include some of the most common protein sources, such as soy, lentils, black beans, chickpeas, peanuts and peanut butter. These foods are much higher in protein than most grains, with a single serving providing between approximately 14 and 89 percent of your daily intake. For example, 1 cup of cooked lentils contains 18 grams of protein, 1 cup of chickpeas contains 12 grams and 2 tablespoons of peanut butter provide 8 grams of protein. Soy products, which provide all essential amino acids, vary in their protein content. For example, 1 cup of cooked soybeans contains 29 grams, while 1 cup of tempeh contains 41 grams of protein. I had to add in this little crazy fact. I bet you never heard of Moth beans or mat bean. It is a drought resistant legume, commonly grown in arid and semi-arid regions of India. The pods, sprouts and protein rich seeds of this crop are commonly used in India. 100g of raw, uncooked moth bean seeds contain343 calories, 23 grams of protein.</span></span></span><br>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif;"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px;"><b>Nuts and Seeds</b></span></span></span><br>

The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans includes nuts and seeds among the recommended protein sources for vegetarians and all people. Examples of nuts that are high in protein include almonds, with 8 grams in 1/4 cup, and cashews, with 5 grams of protein in 1/4 cup. Although they contain less protein than legumes, seeds contain similar amounts of protein as nuts. A 1-ounce serving of roasted pumpkin or squash seeds contains about 9 grams, 1 ounce of roasted sesame seeds contains 5 grams and 1 ounce of dried chia seeds contains 5 grams of protein. Using these values, a serving of nuts or seeds can provide approximately between 8 and 19 percent of your daily protein intake. You can add these bad boys into your eggs, shakes, and oats.</div>

<span style="background-color: white;"> Bird's eggs contain different amounts of protein. For example, 1 large, white chicken egg contains 4 grams of protein, while 1 duck egg contains 9 grams of protein.</span></div>

My mom got to come with me yesterday and also work. It was a family affair. The bridal shower was so beautiful. Along with my company there was another small company of loose organic teas or there. The guests just went nuts. </div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLMC1V5-bPRw-G-fmz4tf9Q7LQmrlV1e5jxgxvrY_XH7AKyt5EEN2nepP86MuQy-L07qv3lq07IFu6BKB8m9zMe6e62_xK9Wx8m2HMzJMmzbplZOd0ThE79ErQ9lzCfPKVAKdlDOx/s640/blogger-image-1449465637.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihLMC1V5-bPRw-G-fmz4tf9Q7LQmrlV1e5jxgxvrY_XH7AKyt5EEN2nepP86MuQy-L07qv3lq07IFu6BKB8m9zMe6e62_xK9Wx8m2HMzJMmzbplZOd0ThE79ErQ9lzCfPKVAKdlDOx/s640/blogger-image-1449465637.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div>I told<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"> the lady's at the bridal shower that I would write a quick little blog on how to also use their dead sea salts to detoxify the body. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">This is a great little way to detoxify yourself to pull out those nasty chemicals and a great excuse to sit in the bath for 20 minutes. </font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div style="text-align: start;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span class="fontplugin_fontid_8357_MuliRegular" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box;"><em style="box-sizing: border-box;">Detoxification</em></strong> of your body through bathing is an ancient remedy that anyone can perform in the comfort of their own home. Your skin is known as the third kidney, and toxins are excreted through sweating. A Dead Sea detox bath will assist your body in eliminating toxins, as well as absorbing the minerals and nutrients that are in the water. Fill your tub with comfortably hot water, add ¼ cup Dead Sea Bath Salts and swish. If you were at the bridal shower then you could take the organic Dead Sea salt scrubs that I made, and scoop out a 1/4 of a cup and toss in the tub. I know you ladies also have the coldpressed peppermint, lavender, and lemongrass In your scrub. That's wonderful because that will also give you added benefits to your bath. Soak for 20 minutes. You should start sweating within the first few minutes. If you feel too hot, start adding cold water into the tub until you cool off. Sit in the cool water another 20 minutes. When you get out of the tub, move slowly and carefully, as you get lightheaded or feel weak and drained. Drink plenty of water while detoxing.</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> </span><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;">Cautions:</strong><span style="text-align: justify;"> Although Dead Sea Bath Salts are known for their medicinal qualities, it is strongly recommended that you consult your physician before using Dead Sea Bath Salts for treatments of Psoriasis, Arthritis, Atopic Dermatitis, Eczema and any other skin disorder.</span><span class="blue" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-align: justify;"> The Healing Bath™ </span><span style="text-align: justify;">suggests drinking water while soaking in the bath to prevent dehydration or dizziness.</span></span></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">Let's get to detoxing ladies.

Some would say I'm rich and others would say I don't have much. Does what other think about you bother you? Why? I say I'm rich! When I wake up with out any pain in my body and know I can do whatever I like with out any limitations from my body, I'm blessed. Before I check my phone in the morning, I have wonderful guy friends that say good morning and I just want you to know that your beautiful inside and out and have a nice day. So blessed to have wonderful encouraging men in my life that creates value in me. The right value. Women, who know I love them, I cry when they hurt and they cry when my heart hurts. I'm blessed. </div><div><br></div><div>The point I'm trying to say is, find goodness in your life. Everyone has their battles and no one is perfect. Why would we want to be. What fun would that be? Open your eyes and see what God has made for us to enjoy. The little things that are so good. To feel the sun on our bodies. To smell the air that God so graciously gives us life. Set forth a good intention for today. Being mindful of happiness and let that come forth. Some ask ask me..... How do you do that, and my answer to them is just do. You take those baby steps and happiness even if sometimes you don't feel like it. Not every day will be amazing but every day you should find goodness in your day. </div><div><br></div><div>The grass isn't always greener on the other side but it is greener where you water it. Be thankful for what ever you have and who ever you have. Don't take people for granted. Spouse or friend, you wanted them in your life for a reason. Keep being awesome to them so they will be happy and pleased in the relationship they are at with you. </div><div><br></div><div>There's my touch of wisdom for you and onward with the recipe. </div><div><br></div><div>Gluten free pancakes with a side of protein yall. </div><div><br></div><div>4 eggs and if you are vegan.

This, along with some of its other characteristics, makes honey highly sought after. The health benefits and uses—both internal and external—of propolis are too numerous to list here. Some phytonutrients found both in raw honey and propolis have been shown to possess cancer-preventing and anti-tumor properties. Other benefits of raw honey include boosting the immune system, being a cough suppressant, decreasing allergies to pollen, aiding blood sugar regulation, aiding cholesterol regulation, healing ulcers, and treating various bacterial infections. Raw honey does not ferment in the stomach and can actually be used in aiding stomach upset and nausea. Unlike most sugars, raw honey is not known to aggravate things like indigestion or acid reflux. It has also been linked to helping with Candida problems. Additionally, raw honey is alkaline forming unlike processed honey which is acid forming. For best natural health, our daily food supply should be higher in alkaline forming foods, rather than acid forming foods. - See more at: http://www.swansonvitamins.com/blog/guest-authors-on-natural-health/raw-honey-the-complete-story#sthash.UzSMbOW4.dpuf</span><img src="webkit-fake-url://52bd8c10-9baa-471a-9c84-016653b6302d/imagejpeg" style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">To boot, lemons, though acidic, and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0019I2FP0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0019I2FP0&linkCode=as2&tag=bodyunbur-20" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; outline: none;">cayenne pepper</a>, though super-spicy, actually help neutralize the body’s pH by making it more alkaline. pH imbalance has been attributed to numerous disorders as well as chronic illness.</span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 15px; padding: 0px; border: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This drink is also a great energy booster!

I want to share how I prepare and get ready for my week. I make my "Goddess green salad" on Sunday's so that I'll have a nice base for the week!!<div><br></div><div>This is what's in it. I choose all non GMO and organic items. Organic Red Leaf Lettuce, Organic Green Pepper Diced, Organic Mushrooms Sliced to heavenly Goodness, Organic Silica filled Cucumbers, 1 Organic Carrot that I shredded, Sliced Almonds, Organic Garbanzo Beans, Sea Salt, Black Pepper, and topped with Chia Seeds. That's a good base to start with and I put all my ingredients into a large glass bowl. </div><div><br></div><div>Then take all your left over ingredients and put in small glass bowls, or zip lock bags and store for other other dinners that week. </div><div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKnN3cUm0IIgET7fSrll4Qo_GTRCVz1XLuvY33qkN-uP0lLaNr6GuLOlF38U1rkhnuKLDBe08J2R3oakBwkjrTlfs2hoE1oWObUlby-NyDEPVrAi5-XOVr98727ZklK3R7oqrYZsbs/s640/blogger-image-1513453386.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKnN3cUm0IIgET7fSrll4Qo_GTRCVz1XLuvY33qkN-uP0lLaNr6GuLOlF38U1rkhnuKLDBe08J2R3oakBwkjrTlfs2hoE1oWObUlby-NyDEPVrAi5-XOVr98727ZklK3R7oqrYZsbs/s640/blogger-image-1513453386.jpg"></a></div>I don't put dressing on because I don't want my greens getting all soggy. When you're ready to eat then you'll have a really awesome base salad and then you can choose your desired <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">protein source. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">I don't use salad dressings. Their process and they're made out of junk. If you get something organic it's better but can be high in sugar and still a lot of calories. My secret is fermented cabbage. I love the dill and garlic sauerkraut fermented cabbage. It's naturally gluten-free, non-GMO, and has natural probiotic. It gives it a tangy and salty taste. Extremely beneficial for you. Every time I've ever served a salad I put this on top and everyone loved it. I can't forget daiya cheese it's a delicious dairy free alternative for cheese lovers. </font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjapwWbNcp4l1UZr28ErFpLwgW6bYF65mTrAGpAY4aaJIugBJwJ8b_dztze6AfPEl5fNVzO9aA4llL2ZqZ-hHgFrB2MVSATpiIolA1bIAZpsY14Q-x6DHY-C25dmCTbgyj78UGRgyz4/s640/blogger-image-737967354.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjapwWbNcp4l1UZr28ErFpLwgW6bYF65mTrAGpAY4aaJIugBJwJ8b_dztze6AfPEl5fNVzO9aA4llL2ZqZ-hHgFrB2MVSATpiIolA1bIAZpsY14Q-x6DHY-C25dmCTbgyj78UGRgyz4/s640/blogger-image-737967354.jpg"></a></div>I also would suggest using your bass ingredients for other dinners throughout the week. For instance you can make any type of tacos and take the lettuce that's in your premade salad and put that in your corn tortilla. One of my moms favorite things to do take the base salad and then cook it down and sauté it and add put eggs on top. I like my meals to be easy and if you just keep it easy and simple you could use what you already have in the fridge. I hope this inspired some fears wellness warriors to start the week out with some "Goddess green salad".</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">Peace in your heart wellness warriors</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">Bethany Montecalvo</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">Pittsburgh Health Coach </font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">Pittsburgh Union Makeup Artist </font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">Pittsburgh non toxic spray tan expert </font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">BethanyMontecalvo.com</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">Goorganicbam.blogspot.com</font></div>Bethany Montecalvo/Goorganicbamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05944232317470611257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020710987242961972.post-59319641116335060962015-01-29T18:05:00.001-08:002015-01-29T18:05:09.984-08:00Beast to Beauty<div><br></div><div>My very dear friend Jory Micah Peterson, asked if I would guess write for her blog.

</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">Dairy sparks controversy! Some claim that pasteurized, low-fat dairy is healthy and should be consumed
two to three times per day</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 6.000000pt; vertical-align: 5.000000pt;">1</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">, while others say that raw, full-fat dairy is a health food</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 6.000000pt; vertical-align: 5.000000pt;">2</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">. Some, however,
insist on no dairy at all</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 6.000000pt; vertical-align: 5.000000pt;">3</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">. Below is an overview of some issues to consider when deciding whether or not
dairy is right for you and, if so, which type. The health benefits and risks associated with dairy, as well as
some ethical and environmental considerations.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial,Bold'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Ethical and Environmental Implications
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial,Bold'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">Natural Diet
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">Many </span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">consider cow’s milk to be one of the most ideal foods nature provides, particularly when prepared in
</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">traditional ways, such as culturing. Others question the idea of drinking the milk of another species.
Humans, like other mammals, produce milk for a specific purpose - to feed their own babies until the
babies are ready to move on to solid foods. Milk from a cow is designed to make a newborn calf grow
rapidly in only a few weeks, causing some to believe that it may not be the ideal food for human children
or adults.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial,Bold'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">Animal Treatment
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">Some small farmers treat their cows humanely and allow a more natural relationship between mother cow
and calf while still being able to collect milk for human consumption. However, large industrial milk
factories often subject their cows to filthy living conditions. Animal mistreatment at factory farms is well
documented. Some also question the ethics of impregnating a cow for milk production and taking away
her calf shortly after birth (often for slaughter to sell veal) in order to maximize economic profits.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial,Bold'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">Sustainability
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">Animal agriculture is a major contributor to global warming and the pollution of our water and air. In
addition, vast amounts of land, water and fuel are used for cattle feed, grazing and processing. Globally,
agriculture accounts for 60% of nitrous oxide and 50% of methane emissions</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 6.000000pt; vertical-align: 5.000000pt;">11</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">. The dairy sector
contributes 4% to the total greenhouse gases worldwide</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 6.000000pt; vertical-align: 5.000000pt;">12</span><span style="font-family: 'Arial'; font-size: 10.000000pt;">. Some argue that we could feed many more
people at lower cost if the land and resources were instead used to grow crops for human consumption.
Others believe that in some cases the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, which may be able to be
mitigated if the grazing land and animal waste is carefully managed. By researching companies, buying
from small, local farms and choosing your suppliers carefully, you can help support the farms that are
producing dairy more responsibly.

I'm in love. <div><br></div><div>Get ready, literally anyone can make this fabulous recipe because it's so easy. This is the thing folks, when you go all natural baby...... It's EASY!!!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Carrie Sullivan's Recipe for Whipped Butter</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This is a great dairy free butter with no artificial ingredients! You can also use this as a body moisturizer or over top of your steamed veggies!! <br><br><br>Whipped Dairy Free Butter<br><br>1 Cup coconut oil<br>1 Cup olive oil<br><br>Melt both in a saucepan on low heat until completely melted. Place mixture in a bowl (from a stand mixer) or your Vita-Mix. Place container in your refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. Take it out and mix it for a minute or two. If still translucent return it to the fridge and try again in 30 minutes. When mixing it will get solid in color and be firmer in consistency. Pour into a container and keep in the refrigerator. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">This is Carries suggestion and written by Miss Carrie Sullivan. </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><img src="webkit-fake-url://bd4ca78d-603b-4401-a672-5d17de888970/imagejpeg"></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Peace in your heart, </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pittsburgh Health Coach</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pittsburgh Union Makeup Artist </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pittsburgh Non Toxic Spray Tan</span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Bethany Montecalvo </span></div><div><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">BethanyMontecalvo.com<br></span><span style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"></span><br style="font-family: UICTFontTextStyleBody; font-size: 19px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto;"></div>Bethany Montecalvo/Goorganicbamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05944232317470611257noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9020710987242961972.post-51033293082520099352015-01-09T12:34:00.001-08:002015-01-09T12:34:27.011-08:00Give Coconut oil to your pups!!<p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Coconut oil if you ask me, is my answer to everything in life!

Most of the saturated fats in coconut oil are Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCTs). The main component (more than 40%) of MCTs is lauric acid, followed by capric acid, caprylic acid, myristic acid and palmitic. Coconut oil also contains about 2% linoleic acid (polyunsaturated fatty acids) and about 6% oleic acid (monounsaturated fatty acids). What does all this mean. It means it's freakin awesome for our bodies as well as animals. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Most major benefits from coconut oil come from the MCTs. Lauric acid in coconut oil has antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties. Ya heard! Capric and caprylic acid have similar properties and are best known for their anti-fungal effects. If my dog has a wound or cut, I literally packet with coconut oil. </span></p><p style="margin: 0px 0px 1.2em; padding: 0px; border: 0px; outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">MCTs are efficiently metabolized to provide an immediate source of fuel and energy.

Yes I normally write about health or beauty or fitness or how to make some amazing food. Today I wanted to be a little different because my friend inspired me. </div><div><br></div><div>I have people ask me how do I stay the way I am in my business when everyone else would do what ever they can to get ahead. Going into this when I decided to do this career. I learned to watch everyone else and how they acted. I love to watch people, I call it people watching. You could learn so much if you just be still and be quiet and observe people. In this society we are so quick to interrupt someone, speak and not even think of the words that are coming out!!!! I find when I speak to people it's very hard for them to listen, they're listening but they're not hearing me. Granted I have some amazing friends and clients that are great listeners. We always want to get the first word or the last word and and we are so consumed with getting out what we need to get out of our mouth that we miss so much goodness in what others say.</div><div><br></div><div>When I first started I felt that God was saying "Bethany if you want to do well then you will have to have patience and I will take you to do great things, but if you don't have patience and you take your road everything you have I will take from you". Now I know some of you are saying how harsh is that and does that sound right.? Look at it this way, if you're a believer everything we have, everything we possess, is ultimately His! Every decision we should be thinking of him first. I believe that He gets me gigs, new clients. Not people. I believe he uses them to bless us.</div><div><br></div><div>But it all boils down to this, if we take a step back and we listen more we could learn so much from people and we could save ourselves so much heart ache or pain. If we start working to impress God and not to impress others in life, we would be so much better off. Have integrity when no one is looking, not just when you know people are watching you. Do well in the little things so you will be blessed with bigger opportunities. Enjoy little gratifications that life brings every day. When I feel consumed or when I feel that I'm getting too worldly. I always remember that He brought me into this world with nothing, and I shall leave with nothing. Live life and live it pruely and see beauty in the little things! Have a great day and let your light shine so bright that the people around need pimp sun glasses.
