This Is The Official "Food of the Gods"

This chocolate is unlike any other food on the planet, and can help improve your life in so many ways, that Carl Linnaeus, the physician and famous scientist who officially classified plants named it the “Food of the Gods”...26 “Theos” (=God) “bromine” (=food) in Greek

The active ingredient comes from the Theobromine Tree in South America.

With careful reverence to its sacred power, the tree’s beans are hand-picked and sun-dried to perfectly preserve all the health properties it contains.

I’ll tell you why antioxidants are so critical to supporting your long-term health in a moment...

First, I know how it feels to be a chocolate lover, and think you have to turn it down because…

“It’s not healthy for you”...

Or because you’re watching your weight…

Or you think eating chocolate sparks even more cravings...

This Chocolate is Different - Really Different

Most chocolate products sold today are LOADED with unhealthy fats and sugar, and go through excessive processing, which strips out most of the nutrients.27

This unique chocolate isn’t processed like mass produced chocolate, and contains no unhealthy fats or sugars, so that all of its health benefits aren’t just preserved, but maximized.

This chocolate contains an incredibly powerful kind of antioxidant to help support cellular health, and a HUGE amount of magnesium and many other essential vitamins and minerals... making this a true “miracle food” that’s far healthier than dark chocolate, and even kale and blueberries!28

This superfood is so incredibly healthy and healing to every cell in your body, I recommend eating it everyday... not just to reward yourself with a delicious treat, but to provide your body with nutrients to support your healthy lifestyle.

And here’s the best part…

You can mix into a hot drink on its own or use it to add a sweet, chocolatey kick to smoothies or desserts – all while helping to support your health and focus.

Your Shampoo Is Toxic. Here Are 5 Things To Use Instead →

If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a soft spot for the shower. If I’m honest, it’s slightly addictive — I’ll step inside, intending to have a quick five-minute rinse, covering just the basics… then 15 minutes later I’m wondering where the time went. There’s just something about that gloriously hot water cascading over face and body that washes not only the physical grime away, but all the worries and regrets of the world outside.

And then there’s my hair. I’ll spend a sizable portion of the shower just running my hands through it and allowing the water to work on my wondrous wavy locks. To kick things up a notch, I’ll occasionally pop open a bottle of shampoo followed by a silky smooth squirt of conditioner, and give my hair the spa treatment it deserves.

And that’s where it all starts going downhill.

You see, conventional shampoos and conditioners are designed for show. They’re all about the razzle dazzle, rather than the nurturing. These “hair care” products are engineered to lather up and leave your hair feeling clean at the end of the shower. The thing is, “clean” is not necessarily good when it comes to your hair, and there’s certainly no need to get all sudsy up there — that’s just pure attention seeking nonsense.

Here are the many nasties found in conventional shampoos and conditioners:

Shampoo

Shampoo takes the prize for the single most poisonous thing you put on your hair (and skin) in the shower. Most conventional shampoos contain:

• Surfactants, which are put in your bottle of shampoo to make it lather up nicely and make you think it’s doing a good job. Surfactants can cause irritation to your scalp and make their way into waterways, where they harm aquatic life.

• Fragrances, which I’m always on high alert for. Just as in nasty air fresheners and other cleaning products, 99.9 percent of fragrances are composed of chemicals like phthalates, which seriously harm your reproductive capacity and even effect a developing human fetus.

• Preservatives, which ensure the shelf life of your ‘poo is almost infinite. These ingredients are a potent concoction of synthetic compounds designed to prevent the growth of microorganisms, but in so doing they can also present various toxicity problems for both you and the environment.

Conditioner

Conditioners contain very similar harmful ingredients to shampoo — phthalates, parabens, surfactants… that kind of thing. But as the toxic icing on the cake, they also contain emulsifiers, which prevent the water and oil components in conditioners from separating. These compounds, such as siloxanes, can be incredibly harmful to aquatic life as they are very difficult to break down, meaning they can remain in natural water bodies for years.

Good things to put on your hair every time you shower

Now that you know what not to put on your hair, here are some of the things that are definitely good to put on your hair every time you shower.

Baking Soda

Around our house, baking soda reigns supreme. Of course, we use it in baking recipes, but we also use it for brushing our teeth, rinsing and whitening our clothes, cleaning out the inside of bottles (by combining it with vinegar to make an impressive science experiment) and plenty more. But where it really comes into its own is in the shower.

Every time I want to wash my hair, I simply pour one to two tablespoons (depending on how long or oily my hair is) into a jar or glass, top up with water, and give it a stir or shake. Then, in the shower, I simply pour a little at a time onto my scalp and the rest of my hair and gently massage it in. The baking soda works wonders — my hair is left feeling wonderfully clean, without all those nasty ingredients and for a fraction of the price of shampoo!

Apple Cider Vinegar

If baking soda is your new natural shampoo, apple cider vinegar is the conditioner. I always follow up a baking soda hair wash with apple cider vinegar (ACV), which softens and moisturizes your hair. It also rebalances the pH after the baking soda made it more alkaline. I use a similar process to the baking soda — one to two tablespoons of pure ACV then topped up with water. You can actually use any old vinegar, but I find that ACV is perhaps a little less intense on my sensitive scalp.

Castile Soap

Dr. Bronners’ Castile soap is another staple in our bathroom — it’s a great healthy alternative to hand soaps, makes an excellent body wash, and can even be used as a pleasant-smelling (without the fake fragrances) shampoo. Because it has simple, natural ingredients, it’s become world famous for its versatility and lack of toxicity.

But Castile soap can be a tiny bit strong sometimes. So, to create your very own moisturizing shampoo for sensitive skin and hair, simple mix an equal measure of full-fat coconut milk with soap. This introduces a soothing, moisturizing element to really up the health ante of your Castile shampoo. To really kick things up another notch, consider adding a drop or two of your favorite essential oil, like lavender or rosemary.

Olive Oil

Olive oil is rich in vitamin E and antioxidants, making it an excellent ingredient to put on your skin, in your mouth… or on your hair! Add olive oil to your shower routine to provide an amazingly deep conditioning that will leave your hair soft and silky, or pour some into your conventional shampoo (if you simply refuse to throw it out) to make it a whole lot more nourishing for your hair. Just be sure to rinse it out afterward, unless you want an oily towel or clothes!

Eggs

The ingredients just get weirder and weirder! The yolks of eggs contain lecithin, an ingredient you’ve probably seen in many food products and cosmetics (usually in the nastier forms of soy or sunflower lecithin). Egg lecithin is a natural emulsifier, meaning it helps to combine water and oil… that’s one of the reasons why eggs are such an important ingredient in most baking recipes.

This emulsifying action allows a simple egg yolk shampoo to rinse the excess oils from your hair and leave it feeling clean and fresh. Along with their natural moisturizing and nourishing natural compounds, this is why eggs form the backbone of any good natural shampoo recipe. It’s a thing — Google it!

8 'Foods' Americans Eat That Are Banned In Other Countries

We live in a country full of people trying to get healthier. People are starting exercise plans, incorporating superfoods into their diet, and generally becoming more aware of what it means to be ‘healthy.’

Unfortunately, becoming healthier is made much more difficult by the many large food corporations which value profit over health and sustainability, and by the FDA, which doesn’t always do a good job of protecting us from the many dangerous preservatives and additives found in our food.

This places the burden on us to educate ourselves and know what to avoid. For starters, here are 8 of the worst offenders – which are banned in certain other countries, but not in the US.

Artificial Food Colorings

Some artificial food coloring and dyes are derived from petroleum—the same petroleum used to make gasoline, asphalt and tar. Although it should be obvious that humans shouldn’t be consuming this stuff, we’ll list the health risks nonetheless: brain cancer, hyperactivity in children, and nerve-cell deterioration have all been linked to its consumption.

Found in: Pretty much everything processed and non-organic that does not get its color from real fruits, vegetables, spices or herbs.

Banned in: France, Finland, Norway, the UK and Austria

Antibiotic-Filled Meat

Antibiotics are commonly fed to US farm animals to cause them to grow faster, and to protect them from illnesses caused by the filthy conditions of their dwellings. This practice may be linked to an increase in antibiotic-resistant bacteria, which is a huge danger to both humans and animals

Found in: Factory-farmed beef, salmon, and poultry

Banned in: European Union, Australia and New Zealand

Fat Free Foods Containing Olestra/Olean

We’ve been told that ‘fat-free’ and ‘light’ foods are better for us, but what you may not know is that many of these foods contain Olestra, a fat substitute which can cause anal leakage and vitamin deletion.

Found in: Many fat-free foods, especially chips and other processed snacks

Banned in: The UK and Canada, to name only a few

Genetically Engineered Foods

Although we don’t yet know the long-term effects of GMOs on humans, we do have evidence that they may be catastrophic for animals’ health. Some research has found that animals fed diets containing genetically modified foods have suffered tumors, birth defects, intestinal and organ damage and sterility by the third generation.

Found in: Papayas, corn, soy, and certain other crops

Banned in: France, Germany, Austria, Greece, Hungary and Luxembourg

Drinks Containing Brominated Vegetable Oil (BVO)

This addition to some sports drinks and sodas acts as an emulsifier, which means it stops the beverage’s flavor from separating and floating to the top of the drink. Too much of this nasty stuff can cause thyroid problems, autoimmune diseases, cancer, organ system damage and birth defects.

Found in: Sports drinks and some citrus flavored sodas

Banned in: Over 100 countries

Foods Containing Flour Bleached With Azodicarbonamide (ADA)

Flour will naturally whiten in about a week, but this apparently is too long for some American food companies, who use this chemical, found in rubber products including yoga mats, to speed up the process. ADA is linked to increase the risk of asthma, allergies, and skin problems.

Found In: White flour, processed bread, boxed pasta and baked goods

Banned In: Many countries including Singapore, where a food manufacturer can get up to 15 years in prison for adding it to their food products.

Hormone-Infused Meat and Dairy

Some farms (especially factory farms) inject synthetic hormones like rBGH and rBST into cows to boost growth and milk production. These fake hormones are not only bad for the animals, they have also been linked to breast, colon, and prostate cancers and infertility in humans.

Found in: Cow’s milk and dairy products

Banned in: This practice is banned all over the European Union, as well as in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Japan.

Poultry Containing Arsenic

This chemical is used in some chicken feed to make the meat appear pinker and fresher. Arsenic is a poison—enough said.

Found in: Poultry

Banned in: The European Union, since 1999

For the sake of you and your family’s health, make it a habit to read labels, choose grass-fed meats, keep a look out for strangely-colored food items, and go organic whenever possible.
