A Word on Electrolytes...The human body is an "electrical machine". All vital bodily functions happen as a result of electrical signals being sent between the various parts of your body and your brain. In order for your body to operate at peak performance, these electrical signals must be conducted in an efficient manner- this is where electrolytes come in. Electrolytes are substances that will conduct electricity when dissolved in water – the most common electrolyte in your body is salt. Your body is 70% water; about two-thirds of the water resides inside your cells, (intracellular fluid) and about one-third resides outside of your cells (extra cellular fluid). Your body works constantly to make sure that the intracellular fluid and extra cellular fluid have the same amount of electrolyte concentration – this is a very important component of homeostasis or your body's inner balance.

Insights from the Farm ~ by Farmacist Greg

Have you considered purging some of those toxins that you are carrying around? Accumulated toxins can be accommodated in the body by storage in fat tissue. Weight loss can be difficult if your body is holding on to the fat in order to store toxic substances to keep them from circulating in the body, causing damage.

Why detoxify?

Since the beginning of the industrial revolution and especially since WW2, we have been exposed to over two million newly manufactured chemicals with very little research on their cumulative effects. Our bodies have had very little time to adjust to their effects. Pesticides, herbicides, air and water pollution and the synthetic chemicals added to our processed foods all add to the burdens on our natural detoxification system. Certain foods and herbs can assist the elimination of these toxins that are over burdening our systems. The accumulation of toxins can overwhelm even the strongest body and skin, resulting in some of these health problems: acne, constipation, allergies, fatigue, bad breath, gastrointestinal disorder, weight issues, skin disorders, bloating, headaches, body odor, etc. So let your food be your medicine. If your organs of elimination are working correctly and we help them to flush out the toxic excesses we will see the benefit of improved health and vitality.

The psyllium husk powder in DetoxiPhi has long been used to detoxify the body. Psyllium husks are seed coatings from the herb Plantain psyllium. When soaked in water the psyllium husks form a muscillaginous coating which is capable of absorbing toxins from the gut. Toxins are then expelled in the feces. The consumption of psyllium has been shown in some studies to reduce cholesterol including the LDL fraction. Psyllium absorbs water to accomplish its bulking action so drink lots of water along with the DetoxiPhi.

Apples contain pectin which binds to toxins and takes them out of your body. Prunes are another fruit in DetoxiPhi that encourage bowel cleansing. A clean healthy bowel allows for detoxification of all the organs and the blood. Apple is a potent blood purifier and also supports the lymphatic system.

DetoxiPhi contains two herbs that encourage bowel peristalsis. Regular bowel movements are important for good health. Cascara sagrada is a powdered bark that induces contraction in the bowels. Small amounts like in DetoxiPhi act as a tonic and act to support the digestive process.  Senna leaf is a potent purgative, helping the elimination of toxins in the bowel and allowing the liver to clean itself up. Cinnamon balances the effects of the other two herbs, preventing cramping.

The benefits of detoxifying your body will include more energy, a greater feeling of well being and less illness. Remember to drink lots of water during your detox. The removal of toxins will improve the overall appearance and functioning of your body. You may see improvements in your skin for example. The skin becomes an accessory excretory organ when our livers are over loaded, causing skin problems like rashes. Skin issues are a warning sign that you may not be eliminating toxins that have accumulated due to diet and environment.

Just a Thought.....

Do You Listen to Your Lazy or Your Warrior?
"But I Don't Wanna!!!"

Does your body ever tell you this? Say, when your alarm goes off in the morning and you're just so comfy cozy in your bed? I know mine does. They say you're supposed to listen to your body. (Well, at least that's the excuse I use when I don't wanna). Then I realize, 'Hey, that's not my body. That's my Lazy kicking in.'

My Lazy. That little voice that makes things sound so good. That thing that makes the bad decisions sound a little less, well, bad. Have you met your Lazy? That creature that tells you it'd just be easier to eat that cupcake on the counter than chop up the fruit in your crisper? That evil little being that says twenty more minutes in bed will feel so much better than a 2 mile jog?

I've listened to my Lazy for way too long. My Lazy got me to 265 pounds. My Lazy had me creeping towards diabetes and heart disease, high cholesterol and a shorter life span. My Lazy needs to be a little less, well, lazy. My Lazy hasn't liked me the past several mornings. My Lazy tried to get me to roll over when the alarm went off.

My Lazy has been defeated with hikes, jogs and core exercises at 5:30am for the past week. My Warrior is enjoying a winning streak. My Warrior has gotten me out of bed and into my workout gear. My Warrior has gotten me outside for hikes and jogs and back inside for stretching and core work. My Warrior has been kicking my Lazy's butt. My Lazy has been left in the dust, wounded and disappointed. My Warrior is triumphant.

You can have all the support in the world. A top notch personal trainer. Kids who want to cheer you on. Family and friends who revel in your accomplishments. What you really need to find is your Warrior. My Lazy is a loud one, I tell ya. The attention seeker. The drama queen. My Warrior? Just a quiet voice inside. I found that I just needed to block out the rowdy noise to listen a little more closely so I could focus on my Warrior.

This morning, I realized my Warrior's real name is Shelby. My Warrior is me.
