How To Detox Salt From Your Body
It was reported in the news this week that devotees of Heinz HP sauce were complaining bitterly about the new lower salt recipe. They said it tasted disgusting, bland and sickly. It just shows how much people rely on the the taste of salt and prompted me to write this article about how to detox salt from your body.
Why would you want to detox salt?
Although we need a certain amount of salt every day to stay healthy too much is bad for you. Salt or sodium is the major alkaline mineral of the fluid that bathes every cell in your body. It helps to controls the fluid balance and together with the minerals calcium, magnesium and potassium it is needed for the electrical impulses that control your nerves and muscles.

Is your Intestinal Candida really SIBO?
If you think you have intestinal Candida yeast overgrowth and are having a hard time getting it under control you may have SIBO (small intestine bacterial overgrowth). The symptoms of SIBO aka SBBO (small bowel bacterial overgrowth ) are very similar to those of Candida so it’s easy to confuse the two conditions. It is possible and not uncommon to have both conditions.
What is SIBO
Small intestine bacterial overgrowth is, as the name suggests, an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. It is an overgrowth of bacteria that should not be present in large quantities in the small intestine.
Although the entire digestive system is populated with bacteria the small intestine does not contain anywhere near the number of bacteria that is found in the large intestine (colon).

Improving Liver Detox May Save Your Life
I see the sad passing of the singer & songwriter Amy Winehouse this week as yet another reminder that you cannot abuse your body, especially your liver, and not expect to pay the consequences. So, if you suspect that your liver is in terrible shape from social drinking and other excessive lifestyle habits now is the time for a liver detox.
The liver is an amazing organ and goes vastly unappreciated for some 500 or more vital functions it performs every day. It’s not called the live – r for nothing. One of it’s main functions, of course, is detoxification.

Raw Food Detox Diet And Weight Loss
If you have ever thought about going on a raw food detox diet because you want to lose weight, then you are on the right track. Many people who have tried virtually every type of diet imaginable have turned to a raw food diet and been successful.
Raw Food Detox Diet And Weight Loss
If you are carrying additional weight that needs to be released, then a 100% raw food detox diet is almost sure to solve that problem for you. There is nothing special you need to do, except eating all your food raw.
“Releasing ” weight
I say ‘releasing’ the weight because that is what in fact happens. When you gain weight, you are giving your body more food than it can use, so the excess is stored as fat in the millions of cells in different parts of your body. When you start to eat in a healthier way, those cells start to release the fat back into the system and it is converted to energy that you can use.
