Add these 4 simple detox tips to your day and you’ll be sure to feel great in no time.

1. Drink More Water

Too often we misinterpret thirst for hunger. Our signal for thirst may cause us to eat as we mistake it for hunger pains. Reach for water first and make sure you are well hydrated before eating any meal throughout the day. Breakfast, lunch and dinner included.

Where possible make sure to drink your water at least 30 minutes before eating as this will allow time for the water to properly penetrate the cells of your body and hydrate your stomach lining in preparation for proper digestion. I like to add lemon juice and apple cider vinegar to my water or green it up with barley grass powder, wheatgrass powder, spirulina or chlorella. Yum!

2. Add A Green Juice To Your Day

Green juices are an amazing way to add life giving and detoxifying plant chlorophyll to your bloodstream....

I recently added a vegetable grow bed to my existing fish and water lily pond.  Good, healthy bacteria grow within a balanced fish pond in order to help break down fish waste.  This bacteria is important to the entire aquaponics system.

If you are starting a new pond or system, add “pond starter” to help boost the bacteria population. It is a good idea to add more bacteria every few weeks as there are no downsides to recharging the bacterial environment. 

Hayden’s Note:

This is for new ponds.  Established ponds should have a healthy balance and cycle already in place, or means for natural bacterial regrowth.  Also, I would recommend “larger-than-fish tank type” diameter pebbles or rocks to be used in your aquaponic beds.  The more surface area that bacteria can attach to, the better!  About 1/2″ or even 3/4″ should work well!  Also, be sure to check out the related aquaponics articles at the end.

The grow bed I used is a simple “under the bed” storage container, and I placed it on the edge of the pond....

Preserving eggs in the refrigerator for 9 months is unfathomable to most people, let alone safely preserving eggs that long without refrigeration. But today I’ll make crystal clear how you can preserve eggs worry-free without compromising your health and taste standards and perhaps I’ll even shed some light on how you came to believe that eggs can only be preserved in a refrigerator.

I assure you that Kellene Bishop has not lost her mind; I’m not some maniacal bad guy accompanied by the theme music from Jaws as I write this. Just read further and you’ll understand that this Preparedness Pro is no fraud but some other trusted entities may have been feeding you a fish story for the past several decades.

Bottom line, if you look at how nature preserves eggs you can learn an awful lot about preserving your own regardless of whether your purchased them at your local superstore or you collected them yourself from your personal brood of hens.

Drinking green smoothies is a great way to incorporate tremendous amounts of greens into your diet – far more than just eating your veggies.

Greens have more valuable nutrients than any other food group on the planet. You might be surprised to learn that greens even have high-quality, easily-assimilated proteins – enough to build the muscle mass of the mighty, greens-eating gorilla, which pound-for-pound is the strongest animal on earth!

Blending helps make greens’ full spectrum of nutrition readily available to the body. Nutrients are encased inside plant cells and getting their benefits requires these cells’ walls to be ruptured. Greens need to be worked down to a creamy consistency, but most people simply don’t chew that much! Blending addresses this problem, helping your body absorb the maximum amount of nutrition from your greens.

So, this is it . . . the star of the whole program. This is the drink that I drink every day, and have all my clients drink to feel and look their best. I hope that it will become part of your daily life as well....

Bannock bread is any of a large variety of flat quick breads. The word can also be applied to any large, round article baked or cooked from grain. When a round bannock is cut into wedges, the wedges are often called scones. But in Scotland, the words bannock and scone are often used interchangeably.  This is a very simple form of bread to make while camping or in survival situations.

It is another typical day. You wake up and jump in the shower thinking about what to throw on the table for breakfast. After considering many possibilities, you realize you are out of time. You grab a couple boxes of breakfast cereal from the cupboard and the gallon of milk from the fridge. Lunch passes in a blur too, the bread winner of the family ends up buying lunch at the local fast food joint, and you end up feeling guilty about the health (or lack thereof) of the cookies you snatched up for a snack. Finally, after a long and tiring day, you stand despondently in front of the fridge while the kids bounce off the walls screaming they are hungry. Must be another pizza night.

Does this sound familiar? You need a plan! If you thought making a menu was only for those über-organized. Type-A personalities, think again. You will reap lots of benefits such as:

• Reduced stress knowing what to make and when to make it.

Most commercial oxygen absorbers are nothing more than fine iron powder mixed with a polymer grain to allow air circulation through the powder – the rusting of the iron powder depletes the container’s contents of oxygen.  It’s that simple.  It’s also very easy to replicate that process.

Materials:

• Steel Wool ‘0000′ superfine (don’t use “SOS” pads)
• Salt (table salt is fine)
• Paper towels
• Stapler

Depending on the container size, take a wad of steel wool and lay it on a open paper towel.  Sprinkle table salt over the steel wool and work it into the fibers.  Then fold the towel over and staple it into an envelope shape. That’s it!

The salt’s acidity activates corrosion of the fine steel wool and the rusting of the steel absorbs oxygen in the container. Just leave a wad of steel wool outside overnight to see this process in fast forward … you don’t even need the salt for that experiment.
Keep all your unused DIY Oxygen Absorbers in air-tight freezer bags until you need them....

Cast iron has a porous surface. The seasoning process serves to fill and smooth the surface of the pan. It’s true that the more you use and season a cast iron skillet, the more nonstick the surface becomes.

Here is how you season a new or used cast iron utensil:

If the pan is new, be sure any adhesive label is completely removed.

• Wash with very hot water, rinse and dry the utensil.
• Grease the inside surface with Crisco or other solid shortening. A medium-light coating, as you would grease a cake pan, is sufficient.
• Put your greased utensil in a preheated 300°F oven for 1 hour.
• Remove, cool and store the pan.

A skillet or other utensil can be seasoned as often as necessary to maintain a good surface.

For example, after making tortillas and, after all that heat, the surface of your skillet looks dry, just season it again before you put it away.

You should wait until the pan is very well seasoned, either by many uses or repeated seasonings, do not attempt to cook foods with a high acid content (tomatoes, for instance)....
