How To Select A Good Colon Cleanse Supplement

Today we hear warnings about colon cancer and how important it is for early detection. This is so important especially for certain groups of people. People with, colitis, Chron’s, if family members have had any kind of colon cancer, people of Jewish, and eastern European descents, diets high in calories and fats, inactivity, smokers, over alcohol use, and more.

Colonoscopies are becoming routine, especially for people over 50 years old. Therefore, it is important that we take preventative measures to keep our colon healthy, such as colon cleanses. There are many different types of colon cleanses today. Some people choose, colonics, and/or a strict diet over a period of time to clean their whole digestive tract. For others, this may seem too much, and they would rather take a pill or capsule. That is not a bad decision, because there are so many good natural colon cleanses to take that are effective in pill and capsule form. How do choose right colon cleanse for you?

By: Lauren Silverman
Consider this. Colon cleansers are designed to get rid of excess waste from your colon. Some colons retain as much as 12 pounds of excrement that are full of toxins and bad bacteria. Yikes! Colon cleanses will flush and eliminate toxins, but these pills/capsules, also encourages the colon to once again absorb nutrients that are in it, to start working efficiently again.

The following is some important information you want to look for when choosing the right colon cleanse:

• Extracts that encourages the body to eliminate parasites, heavy metals, and toxins
• Immune system builder to keep you from getting sick
• Helps digestion
• Gives you energy
• Contains probiotics or enzymes, to give your colon good bacteria.
• Works gently to break down compacted waste and promote natural bowel movements.

What will you feel like on a colon cleanse?

Many people become concerned, because a colon cleanse will cause you to go to the bathroom several times each day, especially the first several days. But once your body adjusts you should eliminate up to three times each day, usually following a meal, which is normal. People who have bowel movements only once a day, or every few days, should seriously consider a colon cleanse, because this is not healthy. Let’s illustrate it this way, if you have a small crack in a water pipe in your home, what would happen if you never fixed it? You may not notice the damage at first, but eventually there will be problems, mold, wood rot, damaged drywall or carpet, etc. The damage could be costly. It’s the same with your colon, if it is not working properly, you could end up with several health issues from, skin problems, headaches, migraines, hemorrhoids, irritable bowel syndrome, cancer, etc. A great fix is a good colon cleanse.

With a colon cleanse supplement it is important to drink lots of water. Your entire body needs water to work well. For example, the intestinal tract needs water to break down food in it, extracting essential elements that are absorbed by your bloodstream, then transferred to the liver for further processing, finally the wastes end up in your colon. This whole process requires water to do a good job. If you don’t drink enough water, problems develop, things slow down, and some things literally stop. That is why people get constipated, and develop all kinds of health related issues. The more water you drink, the better your body will function. This is vital when on a colon cleanse.

Now you have the information to make an informed choice, of which colon cleanse to use. You can find these products by doing a web search, or going to places like, Amazon.com. Products give detailed information, so you can select the right colon cleanse supplement for you.

Asset Extreme promises the body system has many impurities due to the ecosystem where we live also meals we elect to consume. This can be the similar promise produced by numerous different colon cleansers and also detoxify dietary supplements.

Asset Extreme Plus Overview

The laxatives in Asset Extreme are distributed across the ingredient listing. My opinion senna, cassia, aloe and also dietary fiber. Senna or Cassia are stimulant laxatives. Stimulant laxatives perform by pushing the muscles of the intestinal tract to deal prematurely. This pushes fluids into the colon and throw away from the body. A lubrication Aloe, that assists ease the motion of squander from the GI track. Dietary fiber is a bulk-forming laxative that induce squander to shape an orb that scrubs down the edges of the bowels while toxin is shifted away from the body.

Just like the several laxatives weren't adequate, there is dandelion in the formulation. Dandelion is all-natural diuretic. Diuretics push additional water from the body, even if the consumer is preserving water. You have no means for the body to shut off diuretics, and as the body turns into lacking in water and dieter retains having diuretics, electrolyte disturbance and serious dehydration may appear.

Involved certain green leaf tea in the formulation, while the supplier failed to help to list the amount of. The green leaf tea can become forced from the body by the laxative before it may be helpful although you can find sufficient to improve metabolic process in the formulation.

Asset Extreme Plus Advantages

• Ingredients are listed on web site.
• Green tea & Aloe contains

Asset Extreme Plus Disadvantages

• No more laxatives in the formula.
• Less feedback of satisfied consumers

Conclusion

People are not keen on manufacturers that offer laxatives as a method of cleanse. Laxatives, in particular while combined with diuretics may cause side effects just like those became with stomach flu, such as diarrhea, aches and dehydration. Asset Extreme is not a protected option to diet pills with confirmed ingredients and also is not to be chosen within the right diet health supplement offer.

Workout Wednesday and BOB Ironman stroller review

We love it. As soon as a little bit of sun gets out in Ballarat we are out that door!!! Here's Zali and I in the park having some fun and I squeezed in a mini squat workout. I also love getting into my fitness gear as they are super comfy when working out and super stylish for when I need to pick up the kids from school.

Blackmilk Clothing camo leggings, Nike free runners, Stylerunner Striders Edge jacket

Thank you Stylerunner for my funky fitness pack and supporting my Ride To Conquer Cancer rides, I hope to see you in Sydney for the Chris O'Brien Lighthouse at RPA. I only have another $500 to reach my target. Donations of any kind are welcomed here.

For those that like to workout in style, head over and check out the awesome range of fitness wear and like Stylerunners' Facebook page here.

Squat workout

12 body weight squats
12 baby/body weight squats (as pictured above for added weight I held Zali whilst doing a regular squat)
12 Plie squats (stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width with your toes pointing out. Put your arms out straight in front of you and lower into a squat)
12 squats with kick back (simply bring your left leg straight behind you while extending your arms forward. Repeat on other side)

NB: avoid your knees creeping over your toes

BOB IronMan stroller review

I also love taking our "you beaut" BOB IronMan stroller for some interval training up and down our street. Adrian likes to take Zali for a run around the lake too and finds the fixed front wheel really sturdy. He particularly likes the alloy wheels and the hand brake. Such a male thing to say!

Ironman stroller

I love how smooth it feels, very light to push, great to manoeuvre and the padded handlebar is comfortable. The girls love jumping into the stroller at any opportunity. There are heaps of great features on this stroller. A secure five-point padded harness, adjustable reclining seat that looks super comfy with all the padding. Fabulous on those days when you want them to sleep and you get some fresh air and exercise at the same time. I love it!!!

Mietta and I running up and down our street in the Ironman stroller

It's super lightweight frame makes it easy to fold away in 2 easy steps and fits comfortably in the rear of our car. Nothing is worse than being stuck on the road trying to fold up a stroller when you are in a hurry, trust me, it's hard yakka with 4 kids!!! It is totally optioned up with a snack tray and with the wind blowing across Lake Wendouree, the multi-position canopy adjusts for protection against the harsh winds and wet weather. It looks super cosy in there.

There is loads of storage in the seat back pocket for my handbag and our snacks, including internal pockets for the girls lip gloss and toys.  I would recommend this stroller especially for those active Mums that need to get out and exercise but can't co-ordinate a babysitter on time. Having said that, Adrian loves taking Zali for a walk/run giving me a break and fitting in fitness for himself.

Adrian and baby Zali loving the Ironman stroller

Do you prefer to workout on your own or like finding creative ways to exercise with your kids?

Happy Wednesday xxDani

You know what im this kind of girl very simple, always smiling with star on my eyes.

What was the catalyst that sparked your lifestyle change?

One day I was invited for diner and I have nothing to wear I just want to cry cause all of my close are so small.But the week after I decide to change my life for a healthy one.

Off to College- Understanding the Dangers of Binge Drinking

Many students will soon be going to college. They will be out on their own, and they are ready to conquer the world. Attending college is one of the most exciting times in a person’s life. Unfortunately, many college students make poor decisions. Kids sometimes decide to drink an excessive amount of alcohol. Binge drinking can cause major health problems and possible even death. Teens who are off to college need to understand the dangers of binge drinking.

Some of the consequences of binge drinking include drinking while driving, unprotected sex or physical abuse. Drinking too much can also cause students to fall behind on their studies. An excessive amount of alcohol consumption can result in liver and kidney damage, which can be fatal.

Binge drinking can cause a person to suffer from mood swings or aggressive behavior. The alcohol can impede the function of the brain, so individuals will not be thinking clearly. The symptoms of binge drinking can continue even after a student stops consuming the alcohol. Individuals could experience vomiting, and it is possible for them to choke while throwing up.

In addition, binge drinking can cause the body temperature to drop, and it could lead to seizures. The student could have problems with coordination, and he could experience slow or heavy breathing.

In many cases, students do not realize that they have consumed a significant amount of alcohol. They get caught up in the moment, so they lose track of how many drinks they have had. They feel as if they are in control of the situation when in fact, they have no control. If a student experiences alcohol poisoning, emergency personnel should be called immediately. The individual might need to have his stomach pumped, or he might need to be given intravenous fluids. The alcohol needs to be completely removed from the body.

Binge drinking can have harmful effects even after college. It can lead to alcoholism. Individuals can get into a dangerous habit of drinking, and this can impact their ability to obtain employment. It can also hurt their relationships with friends and family and even lead to legal problems. Click here to learn more about retaining legal counsel, should you find yourself on the wrong side of the law.

Binge drinking is a major problem at colleges. Many students choose to attend wild parties while in college, and they then choose to consume high amounts of alcohol. Drinking too much alcohol can have serious consequences; therefore, if a college student has problems with binge drinking, he needs to get help immediately.

Epic weekend in Brisbane for the Rio Tinto Ride To Conquer Cancer

"The greater danger for most of us lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low, and achieving our mark." - Michelangelo 

Jeepers! I know for a fact I didn't aim low with this Ride To Conquer Cancer achievement. I am speechless, so many europhic and epic moments that I will endeavour to keep this short and sweet. Still pinching myself with Richard Branson getting back to our invitation to come ride with us. Totally outta this world!

Seriously? This time last week I was in Bris Vegas and meeting a bunch of crazy and super extraordinary people. Yes, we the VisionCrusaders.com finally met face to face for the first time. It was like a family reunion. Faces were familiar and we were chatting like it was only yesterday. Which is kinda true, as we would've touched base via Facebook the night before to finalise our weekend arrangements.

The power of social media and connecting people these days simply blows me away. I am totally in love with it all, as you can appreciate being a Mum of 4 kids my social life isn't as regular as back in my Rockstar Dani days :-)

Anyways, without getting too emotional and telling you this has got to be one of the greatest things I have EVER done in my life (besides marrying the love of my life and giving birth to 4 amazing children) this comes pretty close. I rode with so many amazing people and loved hearing all their stories and why they ride. They shared their life with me and the ones they lost. I too told them I had family pass away and thankfully my father survived prostate cancer.
It was truly humbling to hear them give me thanks for doing what I am doing and for leaving our young family behind to help theirs. WOW!!! Tears, strolling.

So without further adieu here are my thousand words in pictures.....

Linking up With Some Grace for FYOB.

Having a Relationship with Myself

Just ME

If I did not have a GREAT relationship with myself, I would be a complete mess.  This is just not a physical existence for me, but a very deep spiritual bond with God, and being truly content with me and my life.  The healthy lifestyle that I maintain comes from how I treat myself, how I allow others to treat me, how that is perceived, how I grow from my journey, continually being enlightened by both positive and negative experiences, setting healthy boundaries, and wrapping all that up into how I respond to life’s circumstances. 

 

As I have journeyed through this life, I have suffered physically and emotionally and would not be honest if I did not say that I have felt the sting of both from time to time even now.  The difference in the now is my past experiences have been a life education on how to love myself enough to see things and handle things in a healthy way, and navigate through boundaries that I now have to take

care of me.  A great example would be a person that has hurt me emotionally through an insensitive act or words.  I have realized that this has nothing to do with me or who I am as a person, but all about the offender not knowing how to be sensitive or compassionate in that moment.  Would it hurt…well of course but the important thing is realizing the behavior is not my fault, and even more important is responding to it in the healthiest way possible.  The best part about life is learning through the experiences, being enlightened by what is acceptable and not acceptable, not reliving the unacceptable, and “the knowing” of what is wanted and not wanted.  Looking at all things this way has created a healthy perspective of circumstances and a clear understanding  that God wants me to learn something from the situation and possibly create a circumstance that I will be able to help others going through a similar experience in the future.   Emotional growth has not been an overnight learning method of how to handle things, but a cultivation of experiences, over time that has developed my emotional self and created a bit of thicker skin as well in a positive way. 

Having a relationship with me also includes my physical day to day actions.  Believe me, there are days where I need to be In Your Face MOTIVATED to get my bootie moving to workout.  I feel very comfortable eating healthy a very high percentage of the time, but as I get older, I find that the workouts are my more difficult area and because of that, I have become wiser with my workouts.  This has become an enlightenment experience for me as well as some days I will be gang busters and full of pep in my step, and other days…OH MY…throw a towel over my ARC trainer monitor and beep when it is over.  I have also fine tuned my fitness training using what works for my body to reduce/avoid the chance of aggravation.  Nothing is worse than aggravating an injury during a workout and spending days rehabilitating something that could have been prevented.  My relationship with my physical health is all about HEALTH and feeling great, not so much on how great I will look on the outside.  Although, I do appreciate that my outward appearance is a reflection of living a healthy life.  I also want to add that I do not feel looking healthy to be a “vain or ego” thing and that it is OK to enjoy the “physical look” of living a healthy lifestyle.  Many people get so caught up in “acceptance”, and I think that is healthy to a point…but not to be taken to an unhealthy one.  No one should accept being in an unhealthy state of life in my opinion...how can that be a happy place or something to accept? 

Both the emotional and physical parts of my “self” relationship have taken years

to fine tune and develop, and still nothing in life is great all the time.  Life is not perfect or even easy, and in fact it is all the challenges, bumps in the road, hard work, and experiences that sand down the roughness of our inner and outer shells into smooth, beautiful gems.   Through it all, I have learned to not give up, be patient, and above all to know that I am worthy of great things, and I have definitely learned not to settle for anything less.  Life is too short to not want to be healthy physically and emotionally and the BEST place to start and maintain all that is within ME. 

IN YOUR FACE MOTIVATION

• The question of what can happen when you do not apply it as directed makes the product extremely doubtful as to the safety of its usage.
• There was no significant plumping that was seen with continued use of this product.

Conclusion

It would seem that this product is mainly good only if you are looking for a good lip gloss but with the countless amount of choices there are nowadays, it would be better to opt for something that is more legitimately safe than the Sovage lip plumper. Other products that promise the same results are better tested and are safer to use.

Stuffed red capsicums

This dish was one of my fave's growing up. In Serbo-Croatian they are called "Punjene Paprike" but in English you can call them stuffed capsicums or peppers. Typically Mum made them with mince meat and white rice but I have since made my own versions.

Punjene Paprike AKA Stuffed Capsicums AKA Peppers

These are the ingredients I used tonight.

Ingredients
6 capsicums (cored with lids sliced off, reserve)
x2 cans of lentils
6 slices of bacon (omit if you want a vegetarian version)
1 zuchinni
1 carrot
1 leek
handful of parsley
S&P to taste
drizzle of olive oil

Method
Heat fry pan with olive oil. Sauté leek with bacon, zucchini and carrot until translucent and soft. Add lentils. Drizzle tray with olive oil, carefully place capsicums in the tray and fill with vegetable & lentil mix. Bake in oven approx. 40 minutes at 170C degrees or until cooked. Serve with quinoa, feta and parsley.


All I can say is these babies got placed in the oven ASAP. The minute they were cooked, they were served and there was no time to take a picture of them once they were plated. The house smelt amazing! We smashed these tonight and I can't wait to experiment with my next lot.

What's your favourite traditional meal that you have converted to a healthier version?

Happy Thursday!
