detox detox

Do you send your car for maintenance after some time so that when it comes out from the mechanic, you can hear the vroom sound again?

Well, same for us humans - we need to detox too - too much accumulated toxins can aggravate your sinus, or do you feel low at times or need to shed a few pounds for that beach party?

Time to make a clean start and start this 5-day detox plan - safe and natural.

If you have not been exercising, try to brisk walk daily for about 15-30 minutes, breathe deeply - relaxing and instantly relief your sinus!

Day 1-3

Eat a diet of fresh fruit and green vegetables only.

Sources of fruits -
Papaya - Vitamin C for its antihistamine effect
Apples - an apple a day keeps the doctor or even the dentist away still rings true as it contains pectin and moves any accumulation of decayed residue from foods
Pineapples - has enzyme bromelain, purifies the stomach and kills offensive bacteria and sinus is caused by bacteria .
Grapes, berries - cleanse the mucus

Sources of vegetables -
Carrots, spinach (converted to Vitamin A known to boost immune system to combat sinusitis), broccoli (Vit E), green peppers, parsley, eggplant (flavonoids).

You can try other fruits or vegetables not listed above.

Drink water, 5 or more glasses a day to flush out the toxins. No alcohol, coffee, tea, milk, sugar or salt and no smoking

Day 4

Prepare a green salad with parsley (has zinc, remember my free ebook - zinc to resist infection) and also to ensure good bladder health, watercress to help the liver to neutralise noxious pollutants invading your body, grated beetroot for production of red blood cells.
Sprinkle some raw onions or garlic (if you cannot stand the taste, roast lightly) as they are anti-viral and also make your mucus less sticky. 
Ahh, you can now treat yourself to a cup of dandelion coffee - to stimulate the flow of bile.

Day 5 and onwards (if you wish to continue)

Make your favourite breakfast - whole grain bread and butter, some honey and a cup of dandelion coffee if you so wish. Have a salad of above which you can add some unsalted nuts - almonds, hazelnuts or walnuts. You can also add oats, rye or barley.

Main meal - eat cooked vegetables (asparagus, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, spinach, peppers, carrots)  and oily fish ( salmon, sardines, mackerel, or any type of fish will do).

Detox yourself once every 3 months  and you will feel your body restored and rejuvenated in mind and spirits.

Detox or no detox, remember to eat your fruits and vegetables as mother is always right!!

Thyroid hormones are essential for the function of every cell in the body. They help regulate growth and the rate of chemical reactions (metabolism) in the body. Thyroid hormones also help children grow and develop. The thyroid gland is located in the lower part of the neck, below the Adam's apple, wrapped around the trachea (windpipe). It has the shape of a butterfly: two wings (lobes) attached to one another by a middle part. The thyroid uses iodine, a mineral found in some foods and in iodized salt, to make its hormones.

The thyroid gland also makes the hormone calcitonin, which is...

Thyroid - Hypothyroid - Meaning - Causes - Symptoms - Treatment

What is Hypothyroid? Hypothyroidism is a condition in which the body lacks sufficient thyroid hormone. Since the main purpose of thyroid hormone is to "run the body's metabolism," it is understandable that people with this condition will have symptoms associated with a slow metabolism. Causes About three percent of the general population is hypothyroidic. Factors such as iodine deficiency or exposure to Iodine can increase that risk. There are a number of causes for hypothyroidism. Iodine deficiency is the most common cause of hypothyroidism worldwide.
