Menopause is the cessation of menses occurring as a natural result of aging or as a result of surgical removal of the ovaries and consequentially in a decrease in estrogen, progesterone and testosterone production in a woman’s body. Menopause is also a process that occurs naturally as a woman begins to leave the childbearing years and moves into a time period of full female maturity. Many people believe menopause occurs in one month, the truth is there is a process involved in the transition or “the Change”.
I am 6 days into the 21 Day Cleanse and it is going pretty well so far! An important part of cleansing is that we pay attention to cleaning up our environment as well as our body. After all what we put on or around ourselves is just as important as what we put into our body. Read on for a simple way you can surround yourself with cleaner air!

An article published today in the Washington Post talks about a study comparing conventional and organic California strawberry farms, the study reveals that organic farms leave the soil in a healthful state while producing berries that are more flavorful and nutritious. The comprehensive study also discovered that the organic berries had a longer shelf life than their conventional counterparts. Conventionally grown strawberries can have up to 13 different kinds of pesticides and the Environmental Working Group ranks them near the top of their Dirty Dozen list of produce that retains their pesticide residue. Read the article for more information about this study. Just another reason to buy organic!

Recently I’ve come across a few people who think that flavored waters are a healthy drink. They are promoted as having vitamins, herbs and as being ‘enhanced’ waters. These enhanced waters cost more than plain water, but often are full of artificial colors, flavors and preservatives. They claim to be healthy alternatives to soda, to boost your vitamin intake. But a closer look at the labels will show you that they have artificial sweeteners such as sucralose of splenda.
