Sari Food's Acerola Cherry Powder

 

 

  Many Vitamin C supplements  contain isolated  &/or synthetic Vitamin C that is highly acidic, toxic, causes nutrient imbalances & forces your kidneys & liver to work overtime while your body struggles to absorb them.

 

Natural Vitamin C, on the other hand, is a complete complex, containing a variety of antioxidants, vitamins & minerals that work together in harmony, making it both absorbable & effective. In  fact, natural Vitamin C is so bioavailable that it even lasts up to 24 times longer in your body!

From deep in the jungle of Brazil, acerola cherries provide the richest source of Vitamin C of any food source. And now you can enjoy the intense antioxidant benefits of this 100% whole food Vitamin C, just as nature intended!

Adding food based Vitamin C to your diet may help:

• Reduce the severity & duration of colds
• Fight aging & protect you from the ill effects of  stress
• Promote recovery & cell regeneration
• Reduce the risk of getting almost all types of cancer
• Lower cholesterol & the risk of heart disease & stroke
• Regulate blood sugar, improve circulation & blood flow
• Reduce the symptoms of allergies, asthma & arthritis                         

This powder smells like raisins to me & has a bitter-sweet taste. When my throat was terribly sore, I used this powder along with Sari Food's spirulina powder & my sore throat was gone the next day. I would definitely recommend this.

InstaNatural's peppermint essential oil is a multi-purpose oil that cools, energizes & refreshes the body & mind. This steam-distilled oil is extracted from dried or fresh leaves from the menthe piperita herb, giving it a sharp, menthol fragrance.

InstaNatural's lemon essential oil is extracted from the rinds of lemon, which lends its fresh citrus fragrance. This cold-pressed oil has a strong, bright scent that is both refreshing & uplifting. Its astringent & purifying properties also make it a great aid to help cleanse & tone the skin, while delivering a boost of vitamin C antioxidant benefits.

 

This oil also smells better than other brands that I've used & has a wonderful aroma. It really helps to lift the spirits & mask unpleasant odors. I used it to make lotion & a detox body mask combined with bentonite, azomite & jojoba oil. My skin was left glowing. As always, I highly recommend all of InstaNatural's products.

Water Away - Natural Diuretic Pills By Zhou Nutrition

 

 

 

 

 

      Water pills are used to help lose water weight, decrease bloating & swelling & to treat high blood pressure.

 

Prescription medications used for water retention can possibly have harmful side effects. Zhou Nutrition's water pills contain natural ingredients such as vitamin B6, green tea, potassium & Dandelion Root which is known as a source of potassium itself.

 

Potassium replaces fluid that is lost through urination. Just 1-2 capsules a day helps to gently & naturally remove excess water.

 

Personally, I didn't notice much difference in my weight while taking these capsules. I guess I'm puffy from fat & not water. But I'm sure they will work well for those who are having issues with water retention.

 

Zhou Nutrition's water pills can be found at Amazon.com

Dance Classes Starter Kit By Dance Crazy

    This beginner's starter kit comes with 4 DVDs that teaches salsa, merengue, swing & bachata in depth. These dances are easy to learn & no experience is required.

It's just like having lessons in your home, but with privacy & you can take as much time as you need to learn each move.

Each DVD presents close up angles of the instructor's feet so you won't miss a step.
The instructors are professional dancers & explain everything you need to know in detail. 

For me, these DVDs moved a little too slow since my family is from the Caribbean & I already have a grasp of the basic moves.

I thought there would be more aerobics than instruction, but they're perfect for those who really want to work on their moves. These DVDs should have you on the dance floor in no time.

The Things of Earth by Joe Rigney

  This book is about finding balance with the gifts God gives us without being consumed by them & making them our idols.

The things of this earth are temporary & we should concern ourselves with things that are eternal. We can't take materials with us when we die, so we shouldn't allow ourselves to be distracted by them. On the other hand, we shouldn't feel guilty about enjoying the gifts we are given.

The beginning of this book was quite difficult to understand. There is a lot of high theology & the author even asked his readers to bear with him. But as I continued to read, it began to make sense & I found myself thinking about how greedy I can sometimes be. Very often I tend to idolize things & put the things of God on the backburner. This book helped to put me in check.

At the heart of "The Things of Earth", is the fact that God is a loving father Who is more important than anything this world has to offer. And because He is so kind & loving, He gives us gifts to enjoy, whether they be jobs, food, hobbies, friends, or family. We just have to remember to not make these things our gods.

                     This & other fine books can be found at Family Christian stores.
