Grapefruit seed extract provides a wide variety of health benefits. To name a few:

  • Powerful antioxidant effects on the body
  • A natural antiseptic
  • Treats fungal, sinus, vaginal and skin infections
  • Can help reduce the risk of heart disease
  • Prevents and treats colds and flu
  • Can eliminate head lice
  • Helps to alkalize the body by balancing the pH levels

Colds, flus, viruses – take 10-15 drops, 3 times a day, at first signs of cold or flu. It definitely helps speed the recovery process.

Acne – You can put on your skin after you have cleansed. Massage in circular motions for about a minute and then rinse with cool water.

Candida (basically an over growth of yeast) – Antifungal properties help it to combat Candida infestations by killing the yeast cells that have taken over your intestines. Take until symptoms clear.

I add it to my smoothies as the taste is quite bitter :)

So, if you find yourself feeling on the sickie side grab some grapefruit seed extract. It’s a great immune booster and also promotes fast healing.

What is Gluten?

what is gluten

What is gluten?

Today there are so many products that say “Gluten Free” and its become the new health

craze. So what is gluten?

In short,

Gluten is made up from two different proteins gliadin and gluten that are found in wheat, rye, barley and triticale. Gluten holds food together almost like a glue like substance.

For people with celiac disease it is SUPER important for them to stay the heck away from gluten.

Why?

People that are gluten intolerant produce an abnormal response when breaking down gluten that damages their intestines making it difficult for them to absorb vital nutrients.

The most common form of gluten intolerance is celiac disease which affects 1 in every 141 people in the US according to the National instituues of Health.

It is best to avoid these foods ingredients that contain gluten, including bread, beer, french fries, pasta, salad dressing, soy sauce and even some soups unless it is marked as “gluten-free”.
