Forget juice cleanse fads! The real beauty and health secret is in digestive enzymes (and probiotics), which are essential to absorption.

How do you know if you're absorbing your food properly? If you're getting heartburn or constipation that is one indicator you might not be absorbing your ...

So whats the hype about water? by mary mallozzi Approximately 75% of the body is water. Blood is 83% water, muscles are 75% water, the brain is 95% water and the lungs are 90% water� every cell in the body needs water. It is an absolute part of all biological processes from the transportation of nutrients and oxygen into the cells, adding moisture to the air in the lungs, protecting vital organs by helping the organs absorb nutrients, regulating body temperature and metabolism, flushing toxins and protecting and moisturizing our joints.

There's an annoying skin condition that is common with many teenagers and adults especially around the winter months. It's called Keratosis Pilaris . It's those hard, rough bumps that tend to be red in coloration found around the back of the arms or on the sides of the legs. These genetic bumps that one in two of us get is a buildup of skin in the pores. If you try to exfoliate it just ends up irritating the skin.
