How to Make Common Household Cleaners Naturally

From chemicals in our homes to polluting the environment, we are in need of finding non-toxic solutions. Chemicals are found in everyday cleaning products and over time the exposure can lead to cancer and affect pre existing illnesses. This is why it is important to switch to non-toxic and Environmentally friendly cleaners.  Natural cleaners still fight dirt and germs just like their chemical counterparts. I’m going to list recipes for the top 5 household products we all use every day.  You may already find some ingredients in your home, or you can easily pick them up at your local grocery and natural foods store. Mix the following cleaners together by reusing old plastic spray bottles or buy glass spray bottles which are more Eco friendly.

1. 1 1/2 cups water
2. 1/4 cup liquid castile soap
3. 1/4 cup liquid vegetable glycerin

Testimonial Tuesday!

Our testimonial today comes from a young college student. Ciara is in her fourth year at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine in Tempe, Arizona. It is a four year medical school in which they learn to diagnose and treat patients therapeutically with a variety of natural holistic methods. Her story is a lot like other students, stressed out, long days, long nights leading to fatigue. Here is how her experience with our supplements went.

"As a personal testimonial, I heard about NADH from one of my instructors. I knew about NADH and its role in cellular energy metabolism from Biochemistry, nut was not aware of it being available as a supplement. I have suffered from chronic fatigue and adrenal burnout from increased stress since I started school three years ago. I decided to try the product. I have been taking ENADA 5mg daily in the morning for a little over one month now and have had absolutely phenomenal results.


Prior to beginning the NADH, I had daily fatigue, unable to exercise because of fatigue. I had no energy reserve at all, as I became very stingy of how I was going to spend my energy in any given day. I needed more and more coffee to remain somewhat alert. I had "brain fog," I felt sluggish kind of like I had a cloud hanging over my body. I was sometimes forgetful and it was very difficult to wake up and stay focused in my studies. Even with taking an adrenal glandular supplement and dessicated thyroid, it did not help much. From the first day I took Enada, I noticed a different state of mind, was able to think clearly, and felt more energetic. I all of a sudden had mental clarity with a sharp state of mind, was able to think clearly and felt more energy, I was able to to start exercising for at least 30 min a day. My muscles used to get fatigued very quickly before, but now they don't get as tired or painful, I could easily keep going for longer periods of time. I no longer need coffee to get me through the day. If I drink coffee now its by choice, not necessity.


I am so excited about the merits of this product as it has worked so well for me, I will continue to use if for myself and recommend or prescribe it to the many people I work with, as I already have.


Sincerely,
Ciara Gail"

Single on Valentines Day....and LOVING IT!

Are you finding yourself alone this valentines day? Rather than be sad, turn that frown upside down and celebrate your Valentines day with these commitment-free and fun activities with your three favorite people: me, myself and I.

1. Send Love to Someone. Studies show that kindness spread easy, so start an epidemic. Give Valentine's Day cards to those close to you, like your co-workers and friends.

2. Treat yourself! Grab your CO-E1 Mojo to give you energy and a mood boost and be your own Valentine and do whatever you want. Declare it a me day and go out and get pampered and have fun. 

3. Eat Chocolate! Just because you don't have someone to buy chocolates for you doesn't mean you shouldn't have it. Chocolate in moderation is healthy. The compounds found in chocolate play a role in lowering blood pressure, improving blood flow and making blood platelets less sticky.

4. Have a party! Spend time with close friends. Studies show that in stressful situations a persons hear rate and blood pressure increase less when they are with someone who is close to them. You could all go out together. 

5. Exercise! It's a good way to treat yourself and get endorphin going to cure any Valentines Day blues you might have. It only takes about 30min of moderate exercise for endorphin to start kicking in! So get to the gym or get outside, you might even make some friends doing it. 

6. Volunteer! Research has linked volunteering to higher self-confidence, lower depression, and higher levels of happiness. It is a great way to not think about your self and help people. 

7. Embrace that you are alone and Veg out! Do nothing at all. Just stay home, sit on the couch, and be glad your not spending crazy amounts of money on dinner. This is your get out of jail free card, just enjoy the day of being alone, sit back, take a bath, watch your favorite movie and relax.
