PINK SALT and the bath….

To manage stress and feed the body with healthy minerals and trace minerals take a therapeutic pink Himalayan crystal salt bath.

Bathing in a warm Himalayan crystal “pink salt” bath for 20+ minutes promotes deep relaxation, plus helps to detox your body. This healthy salt bath can be considered as a complementary therapy if used with the intention to restore the body with its active 84 essential minerals and 11 trace minerals.

This rock salt is fuel for balancing and increasing energy. Your skin is an excretive organ that mirrors the condition of your intestines. When you take a salt brine bath, the salt minerals penetrate your skin with ions. This ion absorption will stimulation natural cell growth in your living cell layers.

The good and well truth about Aloe Vera Juice and weight loss.

This is a wonderful article from papaHealth I found, read and wanted to share.  I believe 100% in the statements, research of the benefits of Aloe Vera Juice below.

 

What are the Effects of Aloe Vera Juice?

Following the aloe vera juice weight loss regimen gives you the benefits to maintain an ideal body weight. It increases your lean body mass index while reduces the body fat masses. Aside from its desirable weight loss benefits, the juice also works as:

  1. Laxative. Study shows that drinking of at least 2 glasses of aloe-extracts juice can help prevent constipation (passage of hard stool). The plant contains a potent compound, which work to improve the peristaltic movement. Thus, it enhances the bowel movement.
  2. Enhances metabolic processes. There is a specific substance found in aloe that works to speed up the metabolic rate of users. Increasing level of metabolism can influence weight loss.
  3. Detoxifies toxin in the body. Similar to the functions of bile, aloe also detoxifies the body against toxins. It is a good option to cleanse the colon especially if you are suffering from digestive-related disorders.

These benefits of following aloe vera juice weight loss program are very essential for health. However, special precautionary measures should be considered because too much intake of it can cause inflammation.

Appropriate Amount of Consumption for Aloe Vera Juice

Weight loss and aloe vera juice works hand-in-hand. However, desirable amount of intake must be observed to prevent toxicity and other adverse reactions. Juices are made through the use of aloe leaves. Wash the leaves and remove the skin. Grind the leaves to extract the juice.

The extracted juice must be stored and refrigerated. Ideally, at least one teaspoon of aloe juice is recommended each day. Drink the juice for about fifteen minutes before eating a meal. Some people will add honey to alter the bitter taste of the juice. An aloe vera juice weight loss together with honey can enhance the effect for losing weight.

Common Side Effects of Aloe Vera Juice

The following clinical manifestations are observed as side effects of drinking aloe vera juice. To lose weight with aloe vera juice, you need to learn the common adverse reactions of the drink. These include stomach cramping, diarrhea, and dehydration. To counteract the effect, always hydrate your body with water.

Pregnant mothers or lactating women should avoid drinking this juice. People who are hypotensive must avoid drinking the juice. It may have a good effect for the body but, aloe vera juice weight loss can lower the blood pressure. Other side effects are skin itching, presence of rashes, and other signs and symptoms of allergic reactions.

In cases of these manifestations, stop drinking the juice and contact your medical doctor immediately.
