Smokers, Detoxify Your Lungs!

If you've been smoking for more than a year, your lungs now look like the chimney of a factory - charred and black with smoke, dirty with sticky residue of nicotine and tar.

You probably think that when you are smoking, you blow out most of the smoke you take in. In reality, however, you exhale only 10% of what you inhale. That means 90% of what you puff in gets lodged in your lungs!

There are real health concerns about all this gunk that is filling up your lungs:

After just 2 years of smoking...
  • You're 12 times more likely to die of lung cancer.
  • You're 10 times more prone to lung diseases.
  • You're 10 times more susceptible to cancer of the larynx.
  • You're 6 times more prone to heart diseases caused by high cholesterol levels.
  • You're twice as likely to die of a stroke.
But you can detoxify your lungs and doing so can help you QUIT SMOKING. There is a combination of the right food supplements, vitamins and exercise that can rinse out the toxins from your lungs in less than 1 year. (Normally, it takes 15 or more years to clean your lungs out, if you manage to quit smoking)

There are natural products that can:
  • Act on your tar-filled lungs in the same way as soap acts on grime - and wash away years of collected debris.
  • Act as an antidote to nicotine and thus stop your craving for a puff.
  • Help you get rid of plaque, thereby reducing cholesterol levels in your blood.
  • Help decrease the risk of a heart attack or stroke.
  • Help you shed excess weight.
  • Act on all your systems and detoxify your whole body in an effective and healthy way.

Weight Loss After Your Pregnancy

For any woman who has kept on those extras pounds after giving birth, here are some foods that can help you lose that weight. I came across this useful article and wanted to share it with you...

Six Snacks that Help Lose the Pregnancy Weight

by Teresa Brown

Getting time to eat can be hard in the hectic schedule of a new mom. Sometimes it's just easier to get some takeout or a bag of chips but if you want to lose the pregnancy weight then try one of these six snacks.

1. Spinach - Spinach was a Popeye staple for a reason - it has a ton of calcium which helps build strong bones and muscles. This dark leafy green has high amounts of vitamin K that helps with keeping our blood healthy. Try Spinach in a simple salad with eggs and cheese.

2. Almonds - Almonds are known for their "good fat" which is monounsaturated. This helps lower cholesterol but almonds are also a great source of protein and of fiber. Try them in a trail mix or with your salad.

3. Blueberries - These fantastic fruits boost your immune system with their litany of vitamins and minerals. A great source of antioxidants, they are said to be age reversing. So moms should load up to look younger and burn the baby fat. Try them in a low fast milkshake.

4. Avocados - Another wonderful antioxidant, avocados will help lose the pregnancy weight quickly. The vital vitamin E will help clear up your skin and avocados have more than double the amount of potassium than bananas do. My favorite way to eat them is mashed up with some lemon juice, tomatoes, onions and spices in a guacamole.

5. Oatmeal - Everyone knows that oatmeal is a great source of fiber but it's also a staple in losing weight. This potent meal will keep you fuller longer and this will help you to lose the pregnancy weight fast. Try it in the mornings with milk, honey or a handful of fruit.

6. Peanut Butter - Peanut butter is a great source of protein. It contains healthy fats and is low in calories but high in vitamin B, which will give you more energy to burn that baby fat. Try it with jam on toast, which is another childhood staple.

No matter which of the six snacks you choose to eat, remember that to lose the pregnancy weight effectively you still have to exercise. Incorporate your healthy snacks into a good physical fitness routine and you'll burn the baby fat in no time.
