The skin is the body’s largest eliminative organ and regular use of a far infrared sauna is a relaxing and enjoyable way to open the skin’s pores to release toxins, thereby improving your overall health and wellbeing.

Saunas have traditionally been used as part of a cleansing and relaxing regime and in more recent times have been incorporated as part of a pre and post sports or exercise routine to ease muscular aches and pains.

The far infrared sauna takes things a step further due to the slow heat which penetrates below the skin, allowing profuse sweating over a longer period of time.

By far the most important health benefit of a far infrared sauna is its efficiency in removing toxins from the body. This is achieved by a process called “resonate absorption” whereby the frequency of the far infra red waves matches the frequency of the water in the cell, causing toxins to be released into the blood stream and excreted through sweat.

Increased blood circulation caused by the profuse sweating stimulates the sweat glands, releasing built up toxins and waste. Daily sweating can help detoxify the body as it rids itself of an accumulation of potentially carcinogenic heavy metals, which may be responsible for the resurgence of the popularity of the home sauna.

This removal of such toxins from the system can help assist the symptoms of conditions such as allergies, acne, chronic fatigue, frequent colds, muscle and joint pain, poor concentration, eczema and mood swings.

Conventional Saunas

Conventional saunas operate at temperatures of 80 – 104 degrees Celsius and must rely on direct heat to produce any results, while an effective far infra red sauna, operating at a much cooler 18 – 60 degrees Celsius, is able to produce up to 3 times the sweat volume at a much more comfortable temperature causing vastly improved perspiration characteristics. Not only does the perspiration contain more toxins and less water, but more toxins will also be expelled through your kidneys, liver and hair.

Sweat analysis studies have shown that the sweat of people using a conventional sauna were found to be 95-97 % water while the sweat of those exposed to constant far infrared heat in the range of 4 – 20 microns was 80-85 % water with the non-water component being cholesterol, fat soluble toxins, toxic heavy metals such as mercury & aluminium, sulfuric acid, sodium, ammonia and uric acid. This unusually high concentration of heavy metals & other fat soluble toxins is not found in the sweat produced from general exercise.

Simply connect your sauna to a normal power point and instantly begin enjoying the pleasure of relaxing pain relief, detoxification and skin care in the comfort of your home.

Your liver is where fats are processed and metabolised, then stored if needed for extra energy. High amounts of sugar and processed foods also damage liver function, along with excesses of drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. The liver is the first contact point for toxins to be filtered out of your digestive system. Too many toxins can lead to poor liver function or Liver disease.

According to Chinese Medicine the liver is the organ ruled by the emotion of anger, so if your liver is toxic and not working well, or over loaded with fat, this can make you less tolerant, angry or just plain cranky. Tonifying or strengthening your liver can improve liver function, especially if done on a regular basis. Cutting down on foods and drinks that effect your liver can also help.

Certain herbs are very beneficial for your liver like Dandelion and St Mary’s Thistle. These are available in many liver tonics on the market at present. However prevention is always better than cure and one of the cheapest and best ways of having a healthy liver every day is to drink fresh organic juices. Juice is an amazing way of supplying life-giving enzymes, vitamins and minerals to restore and maintain a clean healthy liver.

With a healthy functioning liver life is less stressful and you will feel more energetic and happier. Be kind to your liver this festive season and have a happy and healthy Christmas.

Healing with Living Foods

Today after decades of declining health and rapid ageing, the promise of living foods is once again gaining international attention simply for their natural properties and energy source.

Living foods are an effective way of helping our bodies heal themselves.

What are Living Foods?

A diet of living foods is not a new idea. Many ancient cultures knew the value of eating uncooked vegetables and fruits and of germinating and sprouting grains, seeds, legumes and nuts. Only a few generations ago, a vegetable garden in the backyard supplied families with organic produce, straight from the earth to the table. However, by the 1950s, the population had become enamored with the supermarket and its canned and processed foods, the promise of chemical preservatives and pesticides, and the lure of fast foods.

These foods do not provide your body with living enzymes and nutrients. A healthy body is a body with healthy enzymes. Enzymes play a decisive role in the digestion of food as they are responsible for the chemical changes which the food undergoes during digestion. These chemical changes comprise the breaking up of the large molecules of carbohydrates, fats and proteins into smaller ones or the conversion of complex substances into simple ones which can be absorbed by the intestines.

The major benefits of a living food diet are that vital enzymes and nutrients remain intact and are able to be utilized by your body.

Living foods are the foundation of any healthy eating program.

Living Foods:

• Improve immunity
• Increase energy
• Cleanse blood
• Promote vitality
• Manage weight
• Nourish the organs
• Detoxify and maintain cellular structure

Although lots of food on the dinner table contain the nutrients needed for good health, our habit of cooking these foods destroys their potential. When food is heated above 118 degrees, enzymes and nutrients are destroyed.

Many people come to a living food from a diet full of meat, dairy, poultry and fish and processed foods. If you are not in a life threatening situation, you can make a steady, unhurried transfer to a living food diet.

A Diet for Daily Living – 75% Raw Food 25% Cooked Food
