12 WONDERS OF LEMON WATER. DRINK IT FIRST EVERY MORNING.

The lemon is widely known for its health
benefits. It is rich in magnesium, fibers,
enzymes, potassium, calcium, antioxidants, iron,
calcium and vitamins C and B. Moreover, it is
known for its weight loss aid as well as for its
antiviral, immune-boosting, and antibacterial
properties. Don’t hesitate and start your day
with a glass of warm lemon water. This simple
routine will do wonders for your health.



Recipe:
All you need to do is to squeeze ½ fresh lemon
in a glass of lukewarm water. It is
recommended to use organic lemon, not bottled
one. Drink the water right away. This should be
the first thing you do in the morning, before you
eat and workout.

1. Cleanses Your System and is a Diuretic.
Being an antiseptic acid, lemon juice has the
ability to cleanse your entire system, flushing
out all harmful chemicals and toxins. As it
increases urination to flush all toxins, it helps in
normal bowel movement. In addition, lemon
water helps in increasing the production of
enzymes that stimulate liver detoxification
function.

2.  Clears Skin
According to many studies, lemon contains
antioxidants that help in compensating dead
skin cells. It also heals blemishes, and fights
any free radical that could potentially harm the
skin. Finally, it helps in the fight against
bacteria that cause acne, it revitalizes the
damaged ski, it delays the process of aging and
it leads to youthful and more glowing skin.

3. Boosts Your Immune System
It is a well-known fact that lemon is one of the
best sources of vitamin C. As a result, it
increases immune system resistance to
diseases and it helps in fighting common colds.
It is rich in potassium as well, a mineral that
helps in controlling blood pressure levels.
Thanks to its high vitamin C or ascorbic acid
content, it provides anti-inflammatory
properties. This is really important because it
helps in the treatment of various respiratory
issues and it lessens asthma attacks.
In addition to all this, lemon contains saponin, a
phytochemical which acts as powerful
antimicrobial agent and it helps in preventing
cold and flu.
4.  Boost Brain Power
As mentioned above, lemon is rich in
magnesium and potassium, making it a great
ingredient for the brain and the entire nervous
system.
Moreover, it can boost energy level and improve
your mood because it fights stress and
depression.
It helps you concentrate and focus better, which
is the reason why students and people with
stressful work are recommended to consume
lemon water.

5.  Balances pH levels
We already know that citric and ascorbic acid
helps to alkalize the blood. Lemons contain both
of them, and as a result they have the ability to
balance the acidity in the body. According to
many studies, when the body`s pH is acidic is
the time when disease occur. Regular
consumption of lemon water can regulate the
acidity in the body and thus, prevent diseases
such as uric acid.

6. Promotes Better Digestion
Lemon juice produces citric acids which are
good for the entire digestive system and help in
cramps and stomach pain.
According to many studies, lemon water
improves the absorption of aluminum hydroxide,
an antacids active ingredient which then helps
in controlling the acid level in the stomach.
Finally, lemon water cleanses the liver and by
doing so, it promotes more bile production. The
bile is an acid which is essential for good
digestion. Being an antiseptic acid, the lemon
helps cleanse and flush out toxins in the
digestive tract. Finally, it relieves indigestion
issues, such as belching, bloating and heartburn.

7. Hydrates Your Lymph System
The lymph system has a huge role in our body’s
immune system.
It the body is dehydrated, you will notice the
symptoms of sluggishness, tiredness and a drop
in the immune system, leading to low/high blood
pressure, constipation, stress, low energy level,
unfocused mind, and bad sleep.
Drinking lemon water compensates, hydrates,
and replaces the lost fluids in the body, leading
to prevention of the aforementioned conditions.

8. Anti-Cancer Agent
First of all, lemons are rich in antioxidant that
delay the process of aging, thus reduce the risk
of cancer cells. Moreover, it s a good
neutralizer acid which prevents acidic
environment, the one in which cancer cells grow
and multiply.

9. Promotes Healing
As mentioned above, lemon water has the ability
to heal scars and blemishes. Besides that, it
helps in healing and maintaining healthy tissues,
cartilages and bones.
Thanks to its anti-inflammatory properties it
promotes good health and fast recovery from
injuries and stress. When combined with other
vitamins and minerals, its activity is even more
potent.

10. Helps in Weight Loss
Lemon is a great ingredient when it comes to
dieting and weight loss process because it
contains pectin, a set of polysaccharides with
gel-properties, a fiber helping fight cravings for
food. According to a research, people who
follow an alkaline diet tend to lose weight much
faster.

11. Freshens Breath
The lemon is a citrus fruit that is very refreshing
and it gives a freshly scent. It relieves the
symptoms of gingivitis and toothaches.
It is recommended to rinse the mouth with
clean, purified water after consuming lemon
water.

FACT: CRYING IS IMPORTANT & NECESSARY FOR PERSONAL GROWTH.


     Did you know that human beings aren’t the only
animals that feel sadness? Almost all animals
express sadness, depression, and loneliness in
their own way. In fact, almost all mammals
mourn the loss of their offspring. But human
beings are the only type of animal that are
taught self-expression should be tamed or
suppressed. Girls are told to stop being so
“sensitive”, and boys are told to “be a man” and
toughen up. Boys are taught that crying to
much means they are a sissy, and girls are told
crying too much makes them crazy.
      We aren’t told that crying is actually essential
and is something we should do more of if we
feel it’s what we need to do to express
ourselves. We develop resistance to crying,
which causes emotional suppression, which
causes psychological and physical
complications. We bottle up our emotions and
expect them to take care of themselves, when
the cure to our problems is sometimes as
simple as allowing ourselves to actually feel
deeply for a moment.
       Contrary to what we are told by society, crying
is actually health and should come as naturally
to us as smiling if it’s what we feel in a
moment. Here are some key reasons why
crying is necessary for healing and personal
growth:

1) It clears your energy field
Crying is for your energy field like showering is
for your body. It releases built up emotions and
feelings, and gets energy moving through your
chakras in the way that nature intended. Your
body is not stupid. It knows what it needs to
feel and when. It’s just a matter of giving
yourself permission to feel what you feel and
look passed any social programming or
conditioning that is preventing you from opening
up to your own emotions.
If you feel tension in your energy field, it is
usually because of suppressed emotions and
you are holding on to something. To fully let go,
you can’t just let go in your mind. You have to
also let go in your energy field, and you do this
by stopping the habit of resisting vulnerability
and holding back tears.

2) It allows more to come up
Every time I cry, more and more bubbles up that
I didn’t even realize was there. For example,
anger is a typical defense mechanism to cover
up pain and fear. When you allow yourself to
see past your anger and into your pain, you will
realize that you are only angry because you are
in pain or are scared of being in pain again.
When you realize you are in pain, you will begin
to cry and start to discover why.
What starts off as you crying over seeing your
boyfriend talking to another girl ends up in being
you crying over feeling rejected by all male
figures in your life and how you are afraid of
non-acceptance by males. And crying over this
makes you realize that you really wish your
father would reach out to you, and makes you
realize that you wouldn’t feel so insecure in
your relationship if you repaired your
relationship with your dad. The more you cry,
the more comes up from your subconscious
mind.

3) It prevents serious health
issues
Suppression of emotion can lead to serious
health issues. Bioenergetics is the science of
home emotions and psychological issues
translate into the body and get stored in the
forms of diseases and pain. For example, if you
have a defense system that turns pain into
anger and gets stored in you as anger, you are
literally poisoning your body with the amount of
stress hormones that are released from the
body. 90% of all diseases are either caused or
worsened by stress in the body, and burying
emotions causes hormones like stress,
adrenaline, and cortisol to be produced in the
body.
    Crying is a form pf physiological release. It is
the way the body is designed to handle and
process emotions, and when we force our
bodies against their natural reactions, it will
always cause complications somewhere else
within the body. It’s almost like trying to force
yourself not to sweat because you have been
told that sweating is for “wussies”. Sweating is
your bodies way of cooling itself down, and if
you were able to hold in the sweat to try to
seem more manly or less crazy, you would
cause yourself to overheat. The same can be
said with tears.
      I've  had to cry recently over various things,
sometimes in public and sometimes in front of
family members who haven’t seen me cry
before. The part of me that is socially
programmed wanted to hide it from them, but if
we can’t even feel comfortable being honest in
our words and form of expression with how we
truly feel, society is not worth living in. Don’t
ever feel embarrassed, crazy, or ashamed for
crying for any reason. The reasons for your
tears are always going to me more valid than
reasons to hold them back.

EVIDENCE FOR REINCARNATION THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY SURPRISE YOU. ..

      Reincarnation is an incredible old belief held by
many that you don’t truly die but are reborn
repeatedly as someone or something else. Some
believe you can be reborn as a snail or a gazelle,
others believe we are repeatedly reborn as
humans, and some believe that when we’ve
learned all we have to learn in our human vessel,
we move on to another spirit plane.


    Science has spent years studying children who
claim things about their past lives. Sometimes it
turns out to be false or just an imaginative child,
but other times, the evidence is a little bit
stunning. Check out this video and hear the
evidence yourself. It features 2 children who
believe they lived over 50 years ago in another
life.
    What do you think? Do you believe
you’ve lived past lives? Do you have
any memories from them? Have you
ever dreamed about being someone
you’re not? Be sure to sound off in
the comments below.

FACT: CANCER CELLS THRIVES ON PROCESSED SUGAR

       We all know that if we want to improve our
health, the first thing we need to do is change
our diet! Even though everyone has heard of
this, the fast-food lovers and sugary-treat
fanatics are yet to be convinced. They might
have heard of the consequences their favorite
foods cause to their bodies, but they continue
diving in their high-fat, high-sugar foods, without
giving it a second thought.
Nature Medicine recently confirmed that foods
containing processed sugar are the main reason
behind the growth and spread of cancer tumors.
In fact, the results were so conclusive, that
future cancer screening may rely on scanning
the body for accumulated sugar for signs of the
disease.

    This discovery was made after the University
College London (UCL) in the U.K. experimented
with a new cancer detection method that
involves utilizing a unique form of magnetic
resonance imaging (MRI). The scientists
sensitized a MRI scanner to look specifically for
glucose in the body, and it revealed
that cancer tumors – which have been proven
to feed off sugar – light up brightly as they
contain high amounts of sugar.
Explained by a recent UCL announcement, “The
new technique, called ‘glucose chemical exchange
saturation transfer’ (glucoCEST), is based on the
fact that tumors consume much more glucose (a
type of sugar) than normal, healthy tissues in
order to sustain their growth.” The university
gave an update saying that the tumors appear
as “bright images” on the scanner.
       When traditionally scanning for cancer, the
presence of tumors is identified by using low-
dose radiation injections because radiation is
another known cause of cancer. But such an
injection is not the best choice due to
its potential side effects. However, this method
is effective because the things that activate and
encourage cancer cells to expand and multiply
can also be used by doctors to detect it inside
the body. And now, sugar can be officially
added to that list.
“The method uses an injection of normal sugar
and could offer a cheap, safe alternative to
existing methods for detecting tumors, which
require the injection of radioactive material,” says
Dr. Simon Walker-Samuel, lead researcher of the
study from the UCL Center for Advanced
Biomedical Imaging (CABI).
The study’s senior author reported that it was
shocking to discover that the glucoCEST
method could effectively identify the presence
of tumors only by using the amount of sugar
that can be found in “half a standard sized
chocolate bar.” This finding is astonishing, as it
suggests that even moderately low amounts of
sugar have the potential to
promote cancer proliferation.
UCL is not the first source to link processed
sugar with diseases like cancer. Dr. Robert H.
Lustig, M.D. and Professor of Pediatrics in the
Division of Endocrinology at the University of
California, San Francisco (UCSF), cites that
sugar consumption causes most of the chronic
illnesses prevalent today. Lustig is a famed
author of “ Sugar: The Bitter Truth”, and he
describes his findings in many videos.
The main culprits of deadening sugar include:
white sugar and flour, sweetened and processed
foods, and fast food. When these foods break
down in the body (when compared to natural
sources of fructose from fruit), they cause an
increase of hormones to be released
(specifically insulin), and in effect, signal
for cancer cells to feed and continue to grow in
size.
Dr. Lewis Cantley, head of Beth Israel
Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) at Harvard
University, shared the sugar-cancer link in a
CBS interview: “What we’re beginning to learn is
that insulin can cause adverse effects in various
tissues, and a particular concern is cancer.”
He continued, “If you happen to have a tumor that
has insulin receptors on it, then it will get
stimulated to take up the glucose that’s in the
bloodstream. So rather than going to the fat or to
the muscle, the glucose now goes into the tumor,
and the tumor uses it to grow.”
These sources came to the conclusion that the
only way to have a healthy body, and a
nourished mind, is to choose wholesome,
unprocessed, and predominantly plant-based
foods. You should consume more greens,
vegetables and plant-based proteins, and
decrease the amount of processed foods in your
diet. Our bodies can be capable of healing
themselves, and it is becoming increasingly
evident that we must make the necessary
changes for that to happen.

FACT:REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD BE SLEEPING ON YOUR LEFT SIDE

    Everyone knows that sleep is very important
for maintaining a good physical and mental
health. However, the duration of your sleep is
just as important as the way in which you
sleep. Your sleep position can influence your
health, help in keeping your skin look young,
and improve your digestive health.
Furthermore, sleeping on the left side of your
body can even save your life. If you are
currently sleeping in another position, keep
reading to find out why you should start
sleeping on your left side right now.



IT MATTERS WHICH SIDE YOU SLEEP ON

There are several sleeping positions – your
front, your back, your left side, and your right
side – and they all affect your health.
Sleeping on the back can be particularly
dangerous for people with sleep apnea or
asthma, because it can cause breathing
difficulties.
Sleeping on the right side is likely to worsen
digestion problems, whereas sleeping on the
left side may improve digestive symptoms.

BENEFITS OF SLEEPING ON YOUR LEFT SIDE

Sleeping on the left side is believed to greatly
improve the health and even save lives. In
holistic medicine, the left side of the body is
the dominant lymphatic side, and while you’re
sleeping on this side, your body will have more
time to filter toxins, lymph fluid, and waste
through the thoracic duct and the lymph
nodes.
On the other hand, sleeping on your right side
may cause your lymphatic system to run more
slowly. You don’t want this to happen,
because a lymphatic system that doesn’t run
at full efficiency can become incapable of
filtering toxins or properly moving lymph fluid
throughout the body. This increases your risk
of deadly diseases due to the build-up of
toxins.
When you start sleeping on your left side, you
might notice your body becoming more
efficient at toxin disposal through waste. This
happens because this position improves the
digestive system, and allows your body to
promptly extract nutrients and dispose toxins.

LEARN TO SLEEP IN THIS POSITION

If you normally sleep on your back, your front,
or your right side, you might wonder how to
break that habit and start sleeping on your left
side. This will take some time and practice,
but it is possible to quickly train your body to
sleep in this position. Here are some tips:
You can try lying on your left side and press a
full-length body pillow up against your back.
The pillow will prevent you from rolling over
during the night.
Try switching the side of the bed you sleep
on. This will make it easier for you to flip to
your other side and enjoy the same sleeping
experience.
Another trick is to keep a dim light lit on your
right side. Since your body will naturally want
to turn away from the light during sleep, it will
make it easier for you to sleep on your left
side.
Try these small changes as soon as you can –
they will improve your sleep routine and lead
you to a better health.
