    The Mysterious Healing Fruit

    They seem like the most normal fruit. You can get them year round, they’re cheap, and they’re always the same. So you buy a few, cut them up, sprinkle the juice on fish or use it in a salad dressing.

    Lemons are no big deal, right?

    Well, not so fast.

    Turns out, lemons have a number of unique qualities that set them apart.

    They are unusually charged with a purer concentration of negatively charged ions, or anions, than any other fruit. Some scientists think this might be why lemons are so good for your digestion. Lemons balance the other foods and help your body extract energy from them.

    Put Three Critical Nutrients Back On The Menu

    Hope you had a happy Fourth of July! Did you have a barbeque and throw a couple of steaks on the grill?

    Don’t feel guilty if you did. Meat is one of the best sources of your most important nutrients.

    Does your doctor try and make you feel bad about eating a big, juicy steak?

    The diet advice that modern medicine prescribes is to replace meat with unnatural grains, corn and soy. But your body doesn’t recognize them as food because they don’t have the nutrients you need. And then doctors still try to tell you that you don’t need a nutritional supplement.

    Thanksgiving is tomorrow, so let’s set the record straight: Eating a few extra helpings of turkey or ham will not make you fat.

    It’s the stuffing and the potatoes that pack on the holiday pounds. The bottom line is insulin and how much your body makes. Starchy foods like bread and potatoes will send your blood sugar through the roof, triggering waves of fat-producing insulin…

    Fat Forming Folly?

    This is very important, but nobody seems to know it…

    We aren’t fat because we eat too much. And it’s not because we’re lazy.

    You can slim down fast if you know this one thing.

    Here it is: Hormones make you fat. And you can beat them if you know how.

    Case in point: insulin is your #1 fat builder. It tells your body to pack on the pounds.
