Most women I know, are typically afraid of doing any type of strength training exercise such as a biceps toning workout, for fear of building up too much muscle. The belief that strength training turn women into blocks of muscles, is a big misconception. In order to build muscles, one needs a healthy dose of testosterone, which is a male hormone. Women do not have much testosterone, and as a result, women do not bulk up as easily as men do. Therefore, if you are a woman, you should not be afraid of losing your female appearance, when you do your biceps toning workout.

If you want to get rid of the fat you build around your upper arms, it is important that you firm up your biceps through proper biceps toning workouts. Biceps workouts should be done, in addition to your regular cardio workouts. The cardio workout will help rid your body of the extra fat, and the biceps toning workout will help give your upper arms a toned look. Also, biceps muscles require extra calories as they grow. As a result, your biceps will be burning fat from your body.

There are several biceps toning workouts you can do. Examples of biceps exercises include concentration curls, hammer curls, barbell curls, high pulley curls, low pulley curls, etc. Most of these biceps exercises require that you either have a set of dumbbells, or that you have access to a gym facility. However, if you have a resistance band, you should be able to work out your biceps effectively.

Biceps Toning Workout for Women

If you have a resistance band and a Swiss ball, try the following biceps toning workout: lie down on the Swiss ball, and make sure your feet are flat on the floor, approximately shoulder-width apart. Roll down slightly on the Swiss ball, such that only your upper back is resting on the ball. Prior to taking this position, lock the resistance band firmly into place. Begin curling the resistance band, while keeping your upper arms relatively parallel to each other. Allow your arms to fully extend at the finishing point of each movement. Maintain a proper breathing pattern throughout the workout. Do this exercise for one full minute. Then take a very short break, and repeat the biceps exercise again 9 more times.

To get the best results out of your biceps workout, you should push yourself to failure. That means, you should keep curling the resistance band until you run out of strength. Take small breaks throughout this strength training exercise routine.

Good luck!

The most common injuries associated with snow removal include sprains and strains, particularly in the back and shoulders, as well as lacerations and finger amputations. Although a very laborious chore at the most inconvenient time, it can be good exercise. Do not underestimate the difficulty of this strenuous and sometimes dangerous activity. You should probably check with your doctor about your ability to pursue such strenuous physical activity if you are over 40 years old. Many people lead such sedentary lives that sporadic physical activity such as snow removal can be dangerous to your health. Clearing snow puts a lot of stress on the heart and multiple joints. Unless you are already healthy and in good physical condition you should leave this work to someone else. Almost 20,000 emergency room visits are related to shoveling snow, snow blowers, and manual ice removal in winter.

Working in cold wet slippery conditions where it may be hard to use good body mechanics can only lead to problems. Be sure you are equipped properly. This starts with your clothing. Dressing in layers to achieve adequate insulation and ventilation in the cold is important. Appropriate hat and gloves can protect against cold and rough work. Warm insulating socks and shoes that have slip-resistant soles are also important.

Warming up your muscles with some light activity before you start is important to all exercise activities. Snow removal takes a slow steady pace, don’t be in a hurry. Take frequent breaks, it is very strenuous work. Staying well hydrated is easily overlooked in cold weather. You will probably work up a sweat even though it may be frigid outside.

Use a snow shovel in good condition that is comfortable for your size and height. Go slowly, picking up small amounts of snow each time. Be attentive to good lifting technique. Avoid bending at the waist and let your legs do more of the work. While staying more upright, abs and back engaged, bend the knees in a slight squat, feet about shoulder width apart to lift safely and efficiently. Stay close to the snow you are lifting while avoiding complete arm extension. When possible you may be able to push the snow off to the side with your shovel without actually lifting. In deep snow, remove small amounts with your shovel starting at the top of the pile, not at the bottom. Maintain an awareness of your surroundings and the ground on which you are working. Be cautious about hidden objects buried in the snow or working on uneven surfaces.

Snowblowers need close attention and familiarity with your machine. Do not modify or tamper with any of the machine’s safety features. Add fuel and do other maintenance only when the machine is completely off. Do not leave a running machine unattended. When a machine jams or clogs never stick hands in the snowblower. Stop the engine and wait at least 5 to 10 seconds for the blades to stop moving. Beware of recoil when the machine is stopping. Use a long solid object to remove ice or debris from the machine. Remember the engine remains quite hot even though you are working in the cold. If you are using an electric snowblower know where the cord is at all times. Keep children away from the machine and the work area.

With some common sense steps you can avoid back injury or worse while clearing a path for your winter needs and enjoyment. Stay warm and stay safe.

Everyday you hear the people taking about living a healthy lifestyle, but what does that mean? Healthy living is simple: It means committing to a lifestyle that promotes health, both mental and physical. Here are 6 things you can do TODAY to being a healthier, happier YOU.

1) Get enough sleep.
As a nation, we are overworked, over stressed, and sleep deprived. With an arsenal of caffeine-filled beverages available at our finger tips and a Starbuck’s on every corner, we can get a cup of joe, choose to be a “Rockstar”, or get “wings and fly” on a can of Redbull. Often times, we compromise sleep for other things such as catching up on work, spending time with friends and family, or just getting some alone time after the kids have gone to bed. “I’ll just catch up on sleep this weekend”, you say to yourself. What we don’t realize is sleep is more that just getting rest. It is the time when our body repairs its self, from the inside out. Everything from your skin, to mental clarity depends is effected by getting enough sleep. Even our metabolism is compromised when you don’t get enough sleep. Instead of consuming calories at the optimal rate, the body hoards on to it, and “saves” it, since the body believes it is in survival mode. That is why no matter how hard you work out and how healthy you eat, you will NOT LOSE ANY WEIGHT if you don’t get enough sleep. How much is enough? Most experts agree between 7-10 hours is optimal. To see what your optimal sleep time is, try this: Go to sleep and do not set your alarm. Make sure you turn off your cell phone, and do not have any thing that would interrupt your sleep. When you wake up the next day, see how many hours you have slept for. This would be your optimal sleep hours.

2) Don’t stress the small things
The human body is designed to deal with stress. Back in the cave man days, stress was helpful, pumping our muscles full of blood so we can run or fight when we are attacked. In modern days, our body responses to stress of emails, bosses, and the deadlines the same way as it does when we were running away from a lion. Over time, ongoing stress causes your body to be vulnerable to some serious health problems. Stress can impair memory and learning, and up your odds for depression. It also triggers the liver to produce more blood sugar, which is great if you are running from a bear. But the problem with elevated sugar (glucose) levels may increase your risk for type 2 diabetes. Long-term stress can lead to narrowing of the arteries and elevate cholesterol levels, increasing the risk of heart disease, heart attack, and stroke. For women, stress can change your menstrual cycle, stopping it altogether, or make your periods more painful. Ongoing stress, also leaves you more susceptible to infection, and makes your skin worse (hello acne!). It can also effect your digestion, causing dry mouth, indigestion, nausea, and gas, or worse causing diarrhea or constipation. How to you reduce stress? Try closing your eyes and focusing on taking deep breathes. Often times, a change of scenery will help you relax. Go for a walk, call a friend, or try meditation. Reducing the amount of stress in your life will make you happier and healthier.

3) Eat more fiber!
Fiber is making a comeback and it is cooler than ever! Guess Grandma was just ahead of her days. In a recent Harvard study, researchers found “dietary fiber may reduce the risk of death from cardiovascular, infectious and respiratory diseases,” published in February 14′s Archives of Internal Medicine. In addition to being good to our hearts, fiber makes us feel fuller and more satisfied during mealtime, reducing the amount of food we eat. So how to you eat more fiber? Simple. Eat plenty of vegetables, complex carbohydrates, and legumes. Fruit is also a good source of fiber, particularly apples. Some fruits are higher in sugar, so eat them in moderation. In addition to the fiber, fruits and vegetables are also high in antioxidants, the good stuff that keeps the body happy and healthy (and young!). A double win!

4) Pump Iron.
Gone are the days when pumping iron is only for jocks and body builders. When you incorporate weight training into your workout regiment, you develop muscle, which burns up to 50 calories per muscle pound. If you were to gain 8 pounds of muscle, you can burn up to 400 additional calories a day, by doing absolutely nothing. Weight training allows you to change your body into a fat burning machine, working even when you are sleeping. How great would it be to go to sleep and wake up lighter in the morning? And ladies, don’t worry about building bulk. Genetically, women do not have the testosterone levels to generate that kind of physique. Think of weight lifting as body sculpting, giving you the freedom to develop the body you want. If you keep your current eating plan and calorie intake, you will lose weight. If you choose to eat clean and healthier, you can lose the weight and fat even faster.

5) Drink H20
Did you know your body is composed of 60-70% water? Blood is mostly water, and your muscles, lungs, and brain all contain a lot of water. You need water to regulate body temperature and to provide the means for nutrients to travel to your organs and tissues. Water also transports oxygen to your cells, removes waste, and protects your joints and organs. So how much water is enough? Experts agree the amount of water you need a day can be calculated by taking your weight in pounds and dividing that number in half. Convert that number to ounces and there is your target number. For example, if you weigh 140 pounds, you might want to drink at least 70 ounces of water a day. In addition to health benefits, water is the best choice because it’s cheap and has no calories or added ingredients. Sweetened soft drinks and sodas have added sugar that adds extra calories. Sports drinks may have the benefit of electrolytes, but it still has a lot of sugar per serving. So drink to your health, and a toast to H20!

6) Enjoy the ride.
Life is full of twists and turns, and more often than not, things don’t go as planned. I will be the first to admit; as a control freak, it frustrates me when things do go as I had envisioned it. Emotions are high, and so is my blood pressure. The heart is racing, and it is fight of flight time. Relax! So what if things didn’t turn out exactly as you had wanted? Many times, the most memorable parts of our lives are the parts that were not planned. Last year, a friend and I had planned a two week trip to Europe. Our arrival in Paris was filled with fun, laughter, and fresh yummy crepes (Yes, even trainers have cheat days!). After arriving at our second destination, London, my friend had an emergency back home and had to fly out on the next flight home. After just spending almost 24 hours between plane rides and airports, I was not thrilled about hopping on another flight home. Instead, I decided to stay in London for the remainder of my flight, and had the best vacation of my life. I met so many wonderful people (traveling alone forces you to make new friends), and really absorbed the culture. Had things gone as planned, I would not have discovered the joy of traveling alone. In fact, I am planning on a solo vacation again really soon. As a wise person once said, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” As I would say, “If life gives you lemons, make a margarita and put those lemons to good use.”

There are 8 different blood types that people commonly refer to: A positive, A negative, AB positive, AB negative, B positive, B negative, O positive, and O negative. The interesting thing about these different types is that they are distributed differently in the human population, within different races and their differences really boil down to only three components. The components are A antibodies, B antibodies, and Rhesus Factor D antibodies. Type O is just the absence of A or B antibodies and a “negative” type just means that someone does not have Rhesus Factor D antibodies.

As you have noticed we are talking about antibodies, which might lead you to believe that blood typing has to do with immunology AND YOU WOULD BE RIGHT! The amazing thing about the different types is that they are genetically coded from our mother and father to appear within our immune system but before an antibody appears in the immune system it has to be initially exposed to an antigen (a foreign substance that creates an antibody).

So how do we get this initial exposure to the antigen that causes our body to create a corresponding antibody? The truth is that no one knows for sure. The closest answer than anyone can give to this is that our bodies are exposed naturally to these antigens from the environment around us at a young age so that we are later able to develop the antibodies to fight them off. I don’t want to get too into the science in this particular post but, basically there is an initial reaction to disease where your body if trying to figure out what kind of antibody (a protein) to create that will be able to attach to this foreign body to label it accurately for destruction. However, once this initial stage takes place and your body knows how to destroy a particular foreign body then it creates what’s called a Memory B Cell, which can replicate itself more than 10 fold on contact of the antigen. This is the same reason that people don’t get sick twice from things like Chicken Pox. If you have already been exposed to something and defeated it then your body has these memory B Cells and destroys the disease almost on initial contact.

Now that you have all the immunological information you may be wondering how this relates to the different types. Well, the antibodies that are created for a type A are actually Anti-B antibodies and the antibodies created for type B are Anti-A antibodies! So really all blood typing is about these different antigens that cover your blood but just as importantly they are about the types of antibodies you have in your system that would attack other blood types if you were ever transfused.

Doctors say healthy eating habits and healthy lifestyles will help us get around to celebrating our 85th, 89th, even 95th birthday. Any older and we’ll probably have to pray on a medical miracle. However, there’s been lots of people who have made it to their 100s, in good shape. Whether it be accounted for due to healthy lifestyle, eating habits, or simply genetic gift, we researched just how they did it. Read on to find out how being old, and I mean really old, and in good shape, is actually possible. We can all start to make a better impact in our lives today.

We cannot deny the fact that our nutritional diets account for a major part of our health, mental well being, spirituality, and physical ineptness. The largest demographic of healthy old persons were from Okinawa, Japan. Being such a rural town, the people there relied on organically grown fruits, vegetables, and grain. Their diet was high in grains, vegetables, fish, and in contrast to the rest of us, low in eggs, meat, and dairy products. We looked at the typical diet of most Americans and saw a record high percentage of meats and foods high in fat content. This may offer some perspective on how we should adapt our diets toward more organic fruits and vegetables and fish over meats.

What about sodas? A woman who rarely drank any soda throughout her entire lifetime just turned 101 years old. It’s all about balance and not consuming sugary drinks in excess. So coffee, alcoholic beverages would be healthy as long as we find a healthy balance. Two to three alcoholic drinks a week should be a healthy maximum and a good rule of thumb.

We’re not saying, don’t indulge, just indulge a little bit. A chocolate cookie every now and then, a hamburger once in a while, a milkshake maybe every two weeks. It’s all about portion control. Along with a healthy diet, comes the commitment to keeping your body busy everyday. Small exercises, running errands, cooking, and cleaning goes to great lengths to keep your body active and in good shape.

Don’t underestimate the power of taking a walk. Exercise doesn’t have to be strenuous, in fact, for older people, taking a few minutes out of your day to take a breezy walk does great things for your health and metabolism. Keeping your stamina up is a great way to exercise without an expensive gym membership.

Now, to take care of our mental well being is also another crucial component. Staying mentally sharp involves keeping your brain active. Lots of older people do this by doing daily crossword puzzles, trivia shows, and math games. Even fun brainteasers will do the trick. I have picked up learning and playing a musical instrument, which helps you improve your mental processing.

Other pointers for longevity is to get outside, stay active, stay connected, and maintain spirituality. Also, having regular checkups that are covered by a comprehensive term life insurance policy. Getting prompt treatment and medication keeps your health in check.

What’s in your water? Is it 2 hydrogens and 1 oxygen (H20) or maybe a little sodium bicarbonate, calcium chloride, or magnesium sulfate (valuable minerals) or how about perchlorate, hexavalent chromium, bisphenol A, chlorine, and atrazine (common toxins in water). Most of us would like to say just plain H2O with a little bit of valuable minerals, but chances are this is not the case! Your brain starts spinning, “What?”, you ask. “If I’m not drinking water, then what am I drinking?”. Well, most likely you get a little added bonus of poisons with every glass or bottle of water. Sounds great, huh? You may think, “well, it hasn’t effected me yet so I’m doing ok.” or “my parents and brother are ok, so my water must be not be laced with toxic chemicals”. But if you are battling chronic fatigue or disease chances are these toxins are doing more damage than you might imagine. After dealing with the crippling effects of chronic fatigue and the likes I have come to a relatively logical explanation, and I positive that you have thought about this before. Everyone is created differently. Some things (toxins) effect everyone differently and for the fatigued ones, like you and I, they seem to effect us the most. Lucky us, right. We may be unlucky, but we have been given the opportunity to squeeze out impurities in our life and for the better. We must reevaluate what we eat, drink, and expose ourselves to. Each blog post will hopefully give insight to minor details that could potentially be holding us back from optimum health. Through my journey with fatigue I began questions everything in search of an answer. One item that never crossed my mind, however, was my water source until one night I woke up to get a drink of water. That night my taste buds were extremely sensitive. As I drank my midnight water I tasted chlorine. Yuck! It was like pure pool water. This puzzled me because I had just filtered my tap water through a brand new Brita filter. I thought “This can’t be healthy for my body?”. So the quest began.

Water. The essence of life. The building block of our civilization. Without it we would be nothing. In the New World it has become harder and harder to fine pure uncontaminated water. Why is this? Of course like everything here there are many reasons and like always all have logical explanations for rearing their toxic head. We will uncover several toxins and the reason for we find them in our water. We will discover just how vulnerable our water system is and our bodies.

Perchlorate. What is it? How does it make its way into our water? Perchlorate is a chemical salt found in many man made items; rocket fuel, fireworks, flares, explosives, bleach, and some fertilizers. Perchlorate is also a naturally occurring substance. Detectable levels of perchlorate have been found in several states drinking and ground water, most likely from fertilizers and fireworks. It has also been found in cow’s milk which is a result of drinking contaminated water supplies. This substance has been used for many years to treat hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid. It is used to inhibit production of hormones and reduce the uptake of iodine by the thyroid. Iodine is the number one substance found in the thyroid. If you constantly ingest perchlorate from drinking water and don’t suffer from hyperthyroidism then your thyroid is constantly being limited to produce less hormones. These hormones are mandatory for energy metabolism and immunity health. There is good news, however, once intake of perchlorate is stopped it no long has a burden on your body. It is excreted and never to be found. More good news, the EPA (environment protection agency) has recently put a limit on the amount of perchlorate found in our water. Bad news, that it is still in detectable in our water. I’m not too sure about you, but I want no part of this chemical touching my body. I’ll let my body do the regulating of hormones not some chemical.

Hexavalent chromium is up next. This little guy can be found in many metal and textile factories. It is used as a textile dye, wood preserver, anti-corrosive, and in steel manufacturing. H. chromium is usually applied to aluminum, zinc, cadmium, copper, silver, magnesium and tin to prevent rust or oxidation. It is a heavy metal and highly absorbed by the body and poorly excreted. Hexavalent chromium leaks from these factories into our environment then into our water. The EPA has not put and legal limit on the amount of chromium found in our drinking water as of yet. Hexavalent chromium placed in the drinking water of laboratory rats has shown to cause cancer. Not only that, but a study in China proved that an increase in hexavalent chromium was directly proportional to gastrointestinal and stomach cancers. The more hexavalent chromium the higher the risk for cancer. Can I have some in my water please? Kidding, this is uncalled for and as a developed nation we should never see these toxin in our water, ever! But its been found and not just one time, 35 times in American cities. That’s outrageous. And we have only been looking for it recently, imagine the years we unknowing consumed this garbage. Yuck. Here some good news, well sort of, the EPA is in the process of working out legal limits. And of course some bad news, it can still be found at high levels in our water without limitations. Hmmmm makes you wonder what else is in our water. Do we dare find out?

Bisphenol A or BPA (that doesn’t even sound healthy) is a chemical produced and used in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. It can be found in a variety of items; water bottles, infant bottles, bottle tops, water supply pipes, sports equipment, dental fillings and sealants, Cds/DVDs, Tupperware, coatings on the inside of canned food and beverages, and plastic electronics. From this list I am almost 100% sure you have been exposed to this chemical in one form or another. That is a bad thing because BPA is a known endocrine disruptor. It can mimic the body’s own hormones specifically estrogen and throw off the balance of valuable hormones. For those of you who don’t know hormones play a HUGE role in chronic fatigue and energy metabolism. The slight change, especially in sensitive individuals, can lead to biological disruption. BPA is most released in plastics and canned liners at higher heat, be sure to avoid heating all plastics. There are several ways to tell if you plastic has been manufactured with BPA or not. This will be covered in more detail in later posts, stay tuned. BPA has been rigorously studied and the effects it has on the human body, most notably effects on infants and prenatal exposure. Which at high levels is shown to lead to neurological difficulties later in life. Wikipedia states the following “A 2011 study that investigated the number of chemicals pregnant women are exposed to in the U.S. found BPA in 96% of women.” That being said it is more than likely that you have been exposed to this chemical and it has effected you in one way or another. Canada believes that this chemical is bad, so much so that they have declared it as a toxic substance! Beware the xenoestrogen, BPA, is on the prowl. Arm up and remove at all cost. The markings below can be found on plastics containing BPA. Removal of BPA plastics that touch food or beverages is a wise decision, especially if you have chronic fatigue and a sensitive body.

What else can we find in our water. Let’s see here. Chlorine. Well this is pretty much a given. We all know it is in our water and for good reason: kill nasty bacterial and parasites. But lets examine what it actually does to our bodies and if it is really keeping us safe. As we know chlorine is a superb killer of bacteria. It is added to our water sources as a disinfectant and for good reason. Before the chlorine days, thousands of people lived in fear of waterborne illnesses. It was common to loose family and friends to cholera, e. coli, dysentery, typhoid fever, and parasites. Its no wonder why we started adding this miracle to our water. However, it is not completely safe. Since chlorine is found in our water and pools it is highly ingested. Being a good disinfectant, the chlorine will kill most bacteria it comes into contact with. Our gut and intestines are made up of billions of beneficial bacteria. The more chlorine we consume the more bacteria it kills. This leads to irritable bowel (IBS), nausea, and decrease nutrient absorption and that’s just the start. Chlorine not only kills beneficial bacteria, but it reacts chemically with organic matter within your water and body. Like any chemical reaction there is always a by-product. This product being trihalomethanes (THMs) one of which is chloroform. If fact this is well known attribute of chlorine and any disinfectant (label as “disinfectant by-product”). THMs are known carcinogens and potent toxins. Of course the EPA is well aware of these “by-products” and have set a “safe” limit, but once again (a reoccurring theme) how safe is safe. I really wish the limit was a big fat 0, but that will never happen. The EPA is aware and doesn’t do anything to remove these potent carcinogens. Not only can they be found in abundance in our drinking water, but any where there is chlorine. Pools and showers have shown to produce a significant number of THMs (as vapor) which are readily inhaled and absorbed in the blood. Tests have shown that swimmers have an 80% absorption rate of THM through their skin. Makes me never want to swim in a pool again. THMs, like chloroform (which is release when chlorine mixes with urine, sweat, hair, or skin), is shown to lower levels of testosterone in both male and females. I do want to restate, however, the risks of using chlorine far out way the risk of not using. I created this post to provide the facts so that you are aware and question what you are actually drinking. Some people go as far as to filter all water entering their house to remove large amounts of chlorine. I, however, have merely chosen a viable water source for drinking. Regular old city water is still used showering and washing. As for swimming, I live by the ocean so that will suffice, I now look at pools differently and hesitate before entering. Indoor pools and spas I can hardly stand because of the hideous smell. Being chronically poisoned/chronically fatigue I try to minimize my exposure to this toxin as much as possible as you should too. Keep your eyes out for chlorine, if you can taste it or smell it, its most likely not healthy, drink only pure reversed osmosis carbon filtered water.

Last, but certainly not least, atrazine; an organic herbicide widely used in the US and around the world. It is actually the most widely used herbicide used today because it is both highly effective and cheap. Too bad it is a known toxin and found in several water sources around the world and in the US. The effect atrazine has on the human body are profound. So profound that the European Union has banned the use of atrazine, the US and other countries have yet to. That’s weird, right? Atrazine, like many of the previous toxins, is a known endocrine disruptor and shown to lower sperm count in men. Not only does it effect male hormones, but has shown to effect women’s menstrual cycles and estrogen levels. Atrazine is extremely potent. Many animals have a lethal limit associated with atrazine. That is if they are exposed to so much atrazine they die! If this herbicide kills animals, what do you think it does to humans?!? Atrazine is still found in several cities tap and drinking water. The EPA has set a “safe” limit associated with atrazine, but do you really think that it is safe to consume any of this stuff? Corn farms frequently use atrazine to keep weeds and unwanted herbs out. The map below shows just how much atrazine is used throughout the United States. Don’t forget that this herbicide has been banned by Europe and told to be banned my many scientist.

All in all, I originally wrote this post to expose chlorine in our water system. After much research I stumbled upon not just chlorine in our water, but tons of other toxins, pesticides, herbicides, and contaminates. We really can’t trust anything or anyone. We must question everything. I developed this site to bring to light these irregularities in our world and to make people aware that they may be poisoned ever so slowly. I truly believe that fatigue and a weakened immune system is largely caused by environmental toxins and the likes. Our bodies are working overtime to deal with unnatural foreign contaminates after so long it starts to get worn out and we become fatigued, sensitive, and overloaded with stress. Yes, some fatigue may be caused by viruses and illnesses, but if we fail to give our bodies what they need (clean water, clean air, clean food) we will fail to recover, thus viruses reactivate causing a never ending cycle of fatigue, illness, and pain. Give your body what it needs, put your health as top priority, with health anything is possible. Stay strong, modify your lifestyle and gain ground on this beast of a disease. You can do it, I have and never thought possible, daily I continue to eliminate more and more toxins from my lifestyle and body. I have seen HUGE effects on my health, well being, and personality. You will too, just stick with it.
