Clean your Liver Naturally

Clean Your Liver ~ Naturally
Why do we need to clean our liver? Your
liver is responsible for cleaning up all the toxins you put into your body and keeping all internal systems running smoothly. Our
diet, environmental pollutants, and our increasing dependence on toxic personal
care products and exposure to toxics in general, are a few reasons why we need to CLEAN UP!
Your
liver works to cleanse the blood and remove toxic substances that we’ve eaten,
inhaled, or rubbed on our bodies. When it is overworked or when you are under a significant amount of physical or even mental
stress, your liver can struggle to keep up.

Superalimento: Cacao (Portugues)
~ Cacau superalimento ~
Durante uma recente viagem ao Brasil,
eu consegui verdadeiramente satisfazer minha "fome" de cacao. Na verdade a foto acima foi tirada minutos
depois que eu cheguei, eu simplesmente não podia esperar mais :) Crescendo o
cacau foi uma grande parte da minha vida. Muitas vezes sentei-me para apreciar
meu cacau enquanto minha avó gritada: "guarda o caroco"...!!! Nessa epoca eu não conseguia entender porque
era tao importante guardar o "caroco”. Bem, aqui está alguns motivos que
faz o cacao ser tudo de bom pra saúde e os beneficios que traz!
O que você precisa saber: Chocolate – um superalimento? Acredite! Em seu
estado bruto, não transformado, cacau está repleto de nutrientes e benefícios
para a saúde. Esta semente verde sul-americano (que é colhida a partir da casca
da árvore) é ingrediente de muitas sobremesas desejadas, mas na verdade tem
sido usada há séculos no México e Central e América do Sul especificamente para
suas propriedades de curas, energização.
Por que você deve EXPERIMENTÁ-lo: Cacau não é apenas um ingrediente gostoso
para sobremesa, mas uma fonte rica de antioxidantes e minerais. Em seu estado
bruto, cacau aumenta níveis de triptofano e, por consequente, a serotonina, um
neurotransmissor que libera endorfinas aumento de humor e proporciona uma
sensação de calma em todo o corpo. Seus flavonóides antioxidantes promovem
ótima saúde cardiovascular, bem como a luta contra os radicais livres toxinas.
Manganês e ferro oxigenar o sangue, magnésio equilibra a química do cérebro e
enxofre constrói, pele, cabelo e unhas fortes. Não admira que faz-nos sentir
tão bem! Mas a razão número um que você deve tentar o cacau? É delicioso!
Eu amo usar cacau em receitas como pó ou adicionais.
Adicionar pó de cacau rico com um smoothie de banana, como este e calmante
ricas em minerais, ou adicionar a um doce, pra que mais nutritiva indulgência
como pudim de cacau?. Para uma alternativa de microplaquetas de chocolate,
experimente adicionar cacau em tudo! Meu
favorito sao os cookies (cocadas) de cacau que têm muito usufruido todos os
dias ja que eu trouxe bastante pra casa comigo :)
Espero que tenham gostado de conhecer ~ cacau ~
Superfood Cacao
Cocoa (Cacao)
~ Superfood Cacao ~
During a recent trip to Brazil I was able to truly satisfy my cacao "hunger". In fact the picture above was taken minutes after I arrived, I just could not wait any longer :) Growing up cacao was a BIG part of my life. A few too many times I sat enjoying my cacao while my Grandmother yelled: "Save the nut"......!!! Back than I couldn't understand what was the bid deal about the "nut". Well, here is the scoop
on cacao and all it’s health-bringing benefits!
What You Need To Know: Chocolate – a superfood? Believe it! In its raw, unprocessed state, cacao is filled with nutrients and health benefits. This South American evergreen seed (which is harvested from the tree’s pods) is at the core of many well-loved desserts, but has actually been used for centuries in Mexico and Central and South America specifically for its healing, energizing properties.
WHY YOU SHOULD TRY IT:
Cacao is not only a yummy dessert ingredient, but a rich source of many
antioxidants and minerals. In its raw state, cacao raises levels of tryptophan
and therefore serotonin, a neurotransmitter that releases mood-boosting
endorphins, and provides a sense of calm throughout the body. Its antioxidant
flavonoids promote optimal cardiovascular health as well as fighting
free-radical toxins. Manganese and iron oxygenate the blood, magnesium balances
brain chemistry and sulfur builds strong nails, hair and skin. No wonder it
makes us feel so good! But the number one reason you should try cacao? It’s delicious!
I love to use cacao in recipes as either
powder or nibs. Add rich cacao powder to a smoothie, like this calming
mineral-rich banana whip-up, or throw in to a sweet, yet nutritious
indulgence like raw cacao pudding. For an alternative
to chocolate chips, try cacao nibs in everything! My favorite is the cacao cookies which I have been enjoying everyday since I brought a big batch home with me :)
I hope you enjoyed getting to know ~ Cacao ~

Rain of memories...
How sweet and calming is the sound of rain. Rain on the roof, rain puddles and splashing! Often times it brings us lovely memories that will forever be in our heart and will remind us of who we are.
Life can take you places you have never imagined before. It can change the course of your path. Before you know you are far from where you started and it has shaped you many times in many ways. It can leave you with a helpless feeling.
It is important take the time to find yourself, listen to your thoughts, feel what is in your heart. To make sure you are being "yourself", not what others want you to be. Loosing your identity can lead to depression. It is a horrible feeling!
Make a point to be with yourself ~ to meditate ... it is in the silence that you hear your own voice. Let your thoughts guide you to where your heart is. If there is one thing you don't want to compromise is YOUSELF.
Let the sound of the rain take you back to where you started, to your origin, your true self.

Life is a miracle
Sometimes I feel an incredible sense of peace, that I am being watched and taken care of. That all my worries don't matter for everything will work out the way it has to be. We are always making so many plans for ourselves and our loved ones, and sure they are filled with good intensions. But are they really?
~ Our eyes can only see a certain distance right? when God can see ALL ~ far and wide, hidden in your thoughts, deep in your heart... So what if we TRUST in Him for he knows what is best for us.
I have recently lived through a situation where I made plans for which I thought was the best for me and my family -but I did put the final decision in to God's hands. I confess I was disappointed when the results came back and for my surprise we were not chosen.
My faith has always been a big part of me, it has carried me through many difficult times in my life... and I know without faith and love, for myself, other, life... and GOD I am a lost sheep.
#faith #love #GOD
