Why You Should Add Turmeric To Your Diet + A Delicious Golden Milk Recipe!

The Top 3 Ways To Detox Daily

The word detox is quite the “buzz” word in the nutrition world – a google search for the word comes up with 136 million results! That’s a lot of talk about detoxing!   I see ads all the time for various products and programs that involve herbs, juices, dieting, or fasting and that claim to help you lose weight quickly, improve your energy, reduce bloating, clear up any number of health issues and “clear toxins from the body.”   People love talking about detoxing without really having a clear understanding of what these toxins are and how our body gets rid of them.   It’s true that we are exposed to thousands more toxins than our bodies evolved to expect:...
