We all want to look after our health in terms of exercise, and what we eat, but how often do you consider that your cosmetics may be damaging your health?
Applying nail varnish is part of most women’s beauty regime, but recent research has shown that your nail polish could actually be harming your health.

TOXIC NAIL POLISH

The study conducted was on 24 women to find out what chemical toxins were present in their bodies.  Evidence of toxins were found in every participant, the source of these chemicals? It was their nail polish. The participants were tested just 10 hours after applying nail varnish and triphenyl phosphate was found to be present in every single participant.

MOST POPULAR

The chemical toxin was absorbed into the body just from the application of varnish onto the nails.
The same researchers followed up this study by testing 10 different nail polishes for triphenyl phosphate, and the chemical was discovered in 8 out of the 10. Worse still, 2 out of the 8 that tested positive had not disclosed this particular ingredient on the bottle, meaning that up to 20% of nail polishes sold in our country may possibly contain dangerous chemicals that aren’t listed on the bottle as an ingredient.

WHAT EXACTLY IS TRIPHENYL PHOSPHATE?

Triphenyl phosphate (TPHP) is an undesirable ingredient in that it is known to disrupt humans’ endocrine system, the system that controls our hormones. Head researcher, Dr. Heather Stapleton stated “There is growing evidence suggesting that TPHP may affect hormone regulation, metabolism, reproduction and development”.
This is especially worrying considering the amount of young girl who are putting themselves at risk of absorbing this chemical, as healthy hormone development is essential to their growth.
However TPHP should be a worry for anyone at risk of being exposed to it. It has also shown to be:
– Neurotoxin (developmental effects)
– Endocrine Toxin
– Reproductive Toxin
– Skin irritant and allergies

OTHER DANGEROUS INGREDIENTS WE KNOW ARE FOUND WITHIN NAIL VARNISHES INCLUDE:

-Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a carcinogen that dissolves in water and in air meaning it is easily ingested. It gives nail varnish it’s pungent smell. It also produces symptoms such as a scratchy throat, asthma, and difficulty breathing. If you have a chronic illness you are more at risk from poisoning from formaldehyde.
– Toluene
Is known to impair development in children, some scientists even found traces of this in breast milk, and can also be a skin irritant.
– Dibutyl Phthalate
Often swaped  instead of TPHP, but it’s actually no better for your health. It holds similar health risks such as hormonal disruption and disruptions to the reproductive system.

Alternatives to Nail Polish
Thankfully there are alternatives to toxic nail varnishes, here are some other non-harmful options:
1. Honeybee Gardens produce a range of all natural nail varnishes which contain absolutely no traces of dangerous chemicals or carcinogens whatsoever.
2. Acquarella has a selection of over 50 nail polish colors, which are all water-based, and don’t contain any formaldehyde, toluene, dibutyl phthalate, mercury, or wheat products.
3. SpaRitual is a toxin-free nail varnish brand, and is also vegan.
4. Peacekeeper Cause-Metics has a selection of nail polishes that are infused with argan oil, as well as being toxin-free.

The liver is a large organ located in the right side of the abdomen. Its main function is to filter the blood coming from your digestive tract, prior to passing it to the other parts of your body.
These Signs Indicate That You Have a Sluggish Liver! Here Is How to Detoxify It Naturally!
Credit:gonaturalcures.com

It is also responsible for about 400 functions in your body, from detoxifying chemicals, and metabolizing drugs to digesting fats and storing essential minerals and vitamins. Your liver also releases bile, which ends up back in your intestines. It also produces proteins that play a significant role in blood clotting and many other vital functions.
This means that your liver is an important body organ that plays a vital role in maintaining good overall health.
But, the excessive consumption of alcohol, the regular consumption of processed foods high in preservatives and additives, and the long-term use of pharmaceutical drugs can burden your liver. In short, it can become sluggish and overloaded with toxins.
In case you do not provide your body with the right nutrients, your liver can become sluggish as well as backed up with loads of toxic work.
If Your Liver Is Overloaded with Toxins, You Will Experience the Following Symptoms:
In case your liver becomes sluggish, toxins cannot leave your body, so that they are accumulated in the fat tissues because they are lipid-soluble. In addition, these toxins will not leave your body until your liver function is improved.
These symptoms may indicate you have a sluggish liver:
  • Skin conditions, such as acne
  • Diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, bloating, and gas
  • Unexplained weight gain
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Allergies
  • Dull headaches that improve with rest or migraines or headaches behind your eyes
  • Trouble digesting fats
  • Lethargy, brain fog, or feeling drained
  • Excessive sweating
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Muscle aches and chronic joint pain
  • Negative emotions
  • Gall bladder removed
  • Chronic bad breath
  • Chemical sensitivities
  •  Depression and anxiety
Since you are constantly fighting against toxins you drink, consume, and apply on your skin, and various environmental toxins, it is a good idea to give your liver a bit of a break.
Fortunately, there are certain helpful tips on how to enhance your liver function.
Start by following a healthy lifestyle that revolves around pure water, organic foods, daily exercise, and the use of non-toxic personal care and cleaning products.
How to Support Optimal Liver Function
You should minimize your intake of processed foods, sugar, and starch foods. Moreover, you should also exclude any foods that contain gluten from your diet.
Following a healthy and balanced diet is not complicated, simply follow these recommendations in order to get on the right track:
-Eat healthy. This means that you should eat whole foods, raw seeds and nuts, healthy fats, high-quality plant and animal protein, fermented foods, and sprouted grains.
– Avoid buying GMO foods, purchase organic foods whenever possible, and use the Dirty Dozen/Clean 15 when shopping.
– Eat more foods rich in sulfur, such as garlic, Brussels sprouts, kale, asparagus,  onions, broccoli, and pasture-raised eggs.
– Exclude processed sugars, like brown or white sugar, cane juice crystals, beet sugar, cane sugar, and cane juice from your diet.
– Consume fiber-rich foods. Namely, take at least 35g of fiber every day from whole food sources, including golden flax seeds, chia seeds, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, artichokes, and avocado.
– Eat more leafy green veggies since they are a great source of vitamin C, B vitamins, magnesium and folate.
– Consume plant-based and animal-based foods, including cabbage, grass-fed eggs and chicken, bone broth, parsley, spinach, collagen, and beets because they are high in essential amino acids.
– Introduce healthy fats, like hemp, avocado, grass-fed butter, sustainable red palm oil, extra-virgin coconut oil, and ghee in your diet.
– Make sure you do not take more that 25g of fructose daily. Fructose in present in high- fructose/glycemic fruits, high fructose corn syrup (glucose-fructose), and agave.
– Do not consume any inflammatory oils such as soybean, sunflower, canola, vegetable oil, cottonseed, safflower, and corn.
– Consume lots of pure water every day. (You should drink self-harvested spring water or remineralized water.) To calculate how much water you should drink daily, simply take your weight in pounds, and then divide it in half. It is actually the amount of water you need to drink in ounces.
– Limit or exclude alcohol. In case you experience a few of the symptoms of sluggish liver, then make sure you replace this toxic habit with grape kombucha.
How to Do a Liver Detox with These 3 Foods, Herbs, or Spices:
  1. Milk Thistle
It is an herb that has long been used as a result of its powerful liver-cleansing properties. Additionally, its main active compound, silymarin, has incredible antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-viral abilities.

Milk thistle is available in supplement form. So, you may want to take a high-quality, non-GMO milk thistle supplement. That’s not all, fermented milk thistle is also available in liquid form. In addition, you can add it to your veggie juice.

We’ve all had those restless nights of tossing and turning, staring at the ceiling, unable to get more than a couple hours of shuteye. The more you worry about not sleeping, the more your mind races, and next thing you know, the sun is peeking through the window.I’ve spent one too many nights this way and needed to put an end to my poor sleeping patterns. I came across this delicious tea recipe and it improved my cycle completely.
BOIL BANANAS BEFORE BED, DRINK THE LIQUID AND YOU WATCH THE MIRACLE HAPPEN
Credit:healthylifestyle24.info

I’ve spent one too many nights this way and needed to put an end to my poor sleeping patterns. I came across this delicious tea recipe and it improved my cycle completely.
Irregular sleeping patterns or even insomnia can stem from several different things like depression, stress, and anxiety. Almost every night, I would get into bed and my mind would be racing. Whether I was thinking about work, family, or simply the things I needed to get done the next day, I just couldn’t allow myself to relax. If your mind is active, chances are you won’t fall asleep.
Certain medications can also cause insomnia. Pain medications, antihistamines, and heart and blood pressure medicines are among the many that contribute to sleep loss.Yes, some meds might actually make you drowsy at first, but they can also trigger frequent bathroom trips or anxiety which can further disturb your rest.
Yes, some meds might actually make you drowsy at first, but they can also trigger frequent bathroom trips or anxiety which can further disturb your rest.
Whether it’s one of these issues or maybe it’s that you’re addicted to your phone when you should be sleeping, something needs to change.

BANANA TEA

Using only a couple items that are likely already in your kitchen, you can whip together a banana tea in no time! This organic, banana-infused sleep remedy works wonders and tastes so good.
How does it work?
Bananas, especially the peels, are loaded with potassium and magnesium.
While magnesium helps prevent sleep disturbances, both magnesium, and potassium work together to help relax muscles. In fact, magnesium is one of the best minerals for relaxation!
Keep in mind, this recipe calls for 100% organic bananas. Bananas that are not organic are loaded with harmful pesticides and since we encourage you to eat the boiled peel, it must be chemical-free.
This tea takes less than 10 minutes to prepare and can be enjoyed every night before bed.

INGREDIENTS:

1 organic banana
1 small pot of water
a dash of cinnamon (optional)
All you need to do is cut off both ends of the banana and place it, peel and all, into boiling water. Boil it for around 10 minutes. Using a colander, pour the water into a mug. If you’re feeling adventurous, sprinkle the cinnamon into the tea. Drink it one hour before bedtime.
If you’re worried about being wasteful, you’ve clearly never had a boiled banana before! After the banana has been boiled, sprinkle some cinnamon over it. Eating the warm, gooey fruit and its peel along with the tea will increase its soothing effects… Not to mention it makes a yummy dessert!
Why Sleeping Pills Are Bad
Out of despair, many of us have resorted to sleeping pills and with almost half of the American population suffering from insomnia or poor sleep, it’s no wonder. But here’s the thing: sleeping pills cannot help you long-term. They provide a short-term fix.
The majority of sleeping pills are a specific type of drug that induces and maintains sleep. They’re classified as something called sedative-hypnotics. Among other sedative hypnotic drugs are benzodiazepines and barbiturates. Benzodiazepines—like Xanax and Valium—can be addictive and are used to treat anxiety disorders by increasing drowsiness. Barbiturates depress the central nervous system are used as anesthetics and sedatives.
As with all drugs, there’s a list of side effects that accompany sleeping pills. Aside from the likeliness of them being habit-forming, they can cause the following:
Constipation
Dizziness
Difficulty focusing and remembering
Stomach pain
Weakness
Uncontrollable shaking
Parasomnias (Doing things without realizing it… Scary!)
Sleeping pills also cause your breathing rhythm to slow down and significantly lighten. This means that if you’re already suffering from lung diseases like COPD or even asthma, these meds can be dangerous and even fatal.

Arteries are blood vessels, which carry oxygen-rich blood throughout your body. These blood vessels go to your brain and to the tips of your toes.
In addition, healthy arteries have smooth inner walls, so that blood flows through them with ease. But, you may experience clogged arteries due to an accumulation of a substance known as plaque on the inner walls of your arteries. Moreover, the plaque build-up in your arteries can decrease or even block blood flow.
Your Feet Can Tell You a Lot about Your Heart Health

Clogged arteries can significantly elevate your risk of stroke, heart attack, and death. Due to these dangers, you should be aware of the culprits of artery plaque and treatments in order to prevent serious consequences.
Your Feet Can Tell You a Lot about Your Heart Health:
Your feet may be a window into your heart health. Namely, the hardening of the arteries caused by plaque build-up, known as atherosclerosis, can occur throughout your body, not just near your heart. In case atherosclerosis occurs in the arteries that lead to your feet, then it could be a sign of a higher likelihood of heart disease.
Furthermore, the plaque buildup in your arteries that leads to your extremities is called PAD (peripheral artery disease). PAD can result in discomfort in your feet and legs and prevent you from performing your everyday activities.
The Cleveland Clinic notes that some PAD symptoms include leg discomfort and pain, inability to walk long distances, and getting tired easily after exercise. According to the Mayo Clinic, some people do not experience any PAD symptoms, whereas others experience muscle pain and leg cramps, especially in the calves.

According to the Mayo Clinic, some people do not experience any PAD symptoms, whereas others experience muscle pain and leg cramps, especially in the calves.
Additionally, other symptoms of this health problem include a change in leg color, leg numbness, shiny skin over the area, changes in hair growth on the feet or legs, one foot or lower leg feeling colder than the other, a weak or absent pulse in the legs or feet, and foot or leg pain while resting (in severe cases).
That’s not all, severe PAD may also progress to limb loss. According to the Cleveland Clinic, a physician should do a simple test of pulses in your feet in order to check for signs of the disease in case you experience any PAD symptoms, have a family history of heart disease or PAD, or have a history of smoking. It is actually a simple test that could be done during a routine examination. Moreover, an ankle-brachial index can also be done. It uses an ultrasound wave and blood pressure cuffs to detect a pulse in the region.
Even though detecting PAD can tell you a lot about your cardiovascular health, the Cleveland Clinic notes that healthy individuals that don’t have a family history of heart disease and don’t smoke don’t have to be screened because the test can sometimes give a false positive. But, in case you think you have the disease, consult a health professional about your PAD risk.
Even if you experience mild leg pain, it is advisable to consult a health professional because PAD itself may result in serious complications, such as the loss of a leg or foot.
