I have a friend who is dealing with a Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease ( NAFLD). If any of you are too ? Maybe this can help guide you in the right direction for your health.. Food matters people.
After researching and reading a lot of articles about fatty liver’s. You should clearly stay
away from any flour products, sugars which include artificial sweeteners and High fructose corn syrups. No take out , pizza, fried snacks. This is a serious condition and shouldn’t be taken likely. Concentrate on foods that cleanse your liver like garlic, grapefruit, beets, carrots, green tea, leafy green veggies, avocados, apples, olive oil, lemons, walnuts, cabbage turmeric, artichoke, asparagus, kale, onions, and brussel sprouts. ginger, beans , flax seed, all the Cruciferous veggies, basil and parsley. here are a few detox drinks..
Liver Boosting Beet Juice:
1 beet
1 carrot
1 lemon, peeled
1 handful parsley, 1 inch ginger, if it isn’t sweet enough add a apple.
Instructions: Run all ingredients through a juicer and enjoy.
Deep Green Liver Detox:
1/2 cucumber
2 cups kale
1 lime, peeled
1 cup swiss chard
1/2 lemon, peeled
Instructions: Run all ingredients through a juicer and enjoy.
Breakfast – Stick with almond milk, gluten free steel cut or rolled oats oatmeal or an omelet and or a fresh juice that you just juiced. Fruit choices can be banana or grapefruit. Plain yogurt with gluten free granola and berries is also a great choice. Have a cup of coffee … some latest research suggests this has a beneficial effect on the liver.
Lunch – You’ll want to go with white meats (chicken or turkey) for sandwiches. Do lettuce wraps or make you a big fat salad. Avoid cheese or heavily marbled meats such as corned beef. Home-made vegetable soup are excellent. You can have tossed salads, but use vinegar-based dressings – simple balsamic vinegar is best, as there is no added sugar. Make ur own dressings. If u need some recipes for that I have plenty. let me know. Dessert can be a nice piece of fresh fruit. Drink water with a twist of lemon juice.
Snacks – Salt-free nuts, carrot sticks, celery with natural peanut butter, fresh fruit, quality dark chocolate.
Dinner – Dinner can be a larger meal, but don’t go overboard. Stick with low fat meats or fish. If you bake chicken, don’t leave the skin on. Ditto for fish. Almost any veggies are fine, as long as they’re steamed, baked or roasted and not fried. A potato as a side dish is fine a few days a week. Drink water w/ lemon.
I hope this helps you and you get your help back to optimum condition!!

Joke #1 Doctor: Listen, if you ever expect to cure your insomnia, you just have to stop taking your troubles to bed with you.
Patient: I know, but I can’t… my wife refuses to sleep alone.
Joke #2 A blonde went to the doctor: “Good heavens, you look terrible!” Exclaimed my doctor. “What’s wrong?”
“I’ve not had a good night’s sleep in over a month,” she said. “The stupid neighbours’ dog is outside barking its brains out all night, every night.”
“Well, just this once, I’ll prescribe you a sleeping tablet. Come back and see me in the morning,” he said.
Next morning when the blonde went to see him, he said, “Goodness! You look worse than ever!”
she replied wearily, “I was up all night chasing that dumb dog around and when I eventually caught him he wouldn’t swallow the pill.”
It’s simply amazing how the food we eat affects our health, sleep patterns and even our “gasp” sex drives. Unfortunately, when you don’t get enough sleep, it can age us faster , cause depression, weight gain, make us forget things, gives us headaches and we have a greater chance of developing heart disease. If you have issues like snoring or sleep apnea and are overweight, one thing you can do is lower your body fat index . For those of us that don’t have snoring or sleep apnea we ask the question, ” Sleep why do you hate me so much!” We need to feed our bodies to get more, Tryptophan, serotonin and melatonin. (serotonin is a brain chemical that helps you sleep) and melatonin ( the hormone that makes you sleepy) Trytophan is an essential amino acid, which means you have to gt it from your diet because your body cannot produce it. Your body uses tryptophan to make the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin.
Your daily patterns, lifestyle and diet can have a massive impact on your life.
**Always check with your health care provider before starting a new regime.**
Rules to follow
Turn off the electronics! That hand held device that you’ve been glued to all day? You have to put it down if you want to get some sound sleep—and the same goes for your laptop and iPad, too. Why? The blue wavelengths produced by your smartphone and other gadgets (and energy-efficient LED light bulbs) significantly suppress the production of melatonin, the hormone that makes you sleepy, according to University of Basel research. Another problem: Light-emitting devices engage and stimulate the mind, resulting in poorer sleep, according to an Osaka University study.
Avoid large meals late in the evening.
Learn and use a relaxation technique regularly. Breathing exercises, meditation and yoga are good examples. EXERCISE early in the day!!
Use “white noise” devices to block out surrounding environmental noise.
Take a warm bath with Epsom salt at night before bed
NO CAFFINE PRODUCTS AFTER NOON!

I’ve been making my own deodorant for years. It all started when I came across an article on the internet about how aluminum-based antiperspirants may increase the risk for breast cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease & Kidney Disease (Scientists noticed that dialysis patients who had these high aluminum levels were more likely to develop dementia too.) We’ve been wonderfully brain washed into thinking sweating is a bad thing. Sweating is a necessity in life. Sweat, as stinky and uncomfortable as it can be at times, is a natural and healthy part of life, helping to cool the body, release toxins and helps to maintain normal body temperatures.
Ingredients
1/2 c. baking soda
1/2 c. arrowroot powder or ½ cup of cornstarch
5 tbsp. unrefined virgin coconut oil
10 drops of grapefruit essential oil or lavender essential oil
You can pick your favorite scent. I like lavender or grapefruit.
Empty deodorant stick or Mason jar
Directions
Mix baking soda and arrowroot together.
Melt your coconut oil in the microwave in a microwave safe bowl.
Mix all ingredients the baking soda and arrowroot powder with the oil, Pour into clean small Mason jar,( or your empty stick container) add your essential oil to the Mason jar or the empty stick container, using a wooden Popsicle stick , give it a good stir to mix everything. Close your the lid. Once you mix that essential oil in the bowl, it can only be used for the purpose of making your deodorant. Everything you’ve used is edible except the essential oils.
This will take roughly 24 hours to set. It will thicken up. I use my finger to scrape what I need out of the mason jar and scoop it across my underarm. This will last you for a good 6 months!
