Summer Sun Cures
With summer comes more sun and with more sun comes an extra desire to be
outdoors and with spending additional time outdoors comes ? you guessed it,
sunburn. We all know the major importance of using sunscreen these days. However, even the
best of us find ourselves with moments of TOO MUCH SUN. In these cases here are a
couple of the best, natural summer sun remedies: 1. Lemon juice - the lemon has an anti-inflammatory function when
used both internally and outwardly. When used externally, lemon dilates blood
vessels in the skin and the juice works as an astringent, drawing the skin together
and relieving pain. To best apply: use cotton balls and gently apply DILUTED lemon juice to the
sunburned skin. 2. Aloe-Vera Juice - this plant member of the lily family has recently been
getting a lot of press for its incredible properties, but meanwhile it has been a well-
respected healer for thousands of years! Most of us are familiar with the use of Aloe Gel, but the juice (which is taken from
the inner leaf's skin) is potent as well ? if not more so as it can be applied externally
and taken internally (but should not be done so by people with gastrointestinal
disorders). When used externally, however, Aloe cools and encourages the skin to
restore. To best apply: dip a sterile cloth in aloe juice, place on the burned area. You can
also use a spray bottle to continually keep the burned area hydrated with the aloe
juice. To your health and success, Heather Heather Dominick is a Holistic Nutrition Counselor accredited by the American

Americans spend millions of dollars each week on "coffee house foods"-fatty lattés and sugary frappucinos, not to mention the white-floured, trans fatty pastries that go along with them. If you were to keep a strict accounting of all the money you spent on soda, pizza, potato chips, pastries, etc., then the question is not so much how much things cost, but where the money is being spent.

True Culprits of High Cholesterol
What if I told you tap water and homogenized milk may be two of the biggest culprits in skyrocketing rates of high cholesterol? Cholesterol is actually being produced by our own bodies all of the time as a natural mechanism to combat oxidation when our bodies are diseased. Therefore, if we are not well, our cholesterol levels are likely to be higher regardless of what we eat that contains cholesterol. Having too low of a cholesterol level is just as bad as having too high.
Its Not That Bad - The Biggest Lie We Tell Ourselves
Some people say to themselves, junk food is not that bad. If you want to believe this than good luck. Remember how important your beliefs are and especially the ones that are faulty that you still believe. It goes back to what I said earlier. If you want to build a slim, toned and healthy body you need the right building blocks. Those building blocks are not found in junk food of any kind. I do not care how fat free or enriched it is, how many added vitamins and minerals there are, how low carb or "healthy" the manufactures try to make you believe it is. Junk food is junk.
