If you are using commercial baking powder in your recipe, they might be! That’s crazy, right? Well, we are all conditioned to believe products like baking powder are clean, but baking powder falls under the CRAP list (Commercially Reproduced Artificial Products). Before baking powder there was good old Cream of Tartar. Combined with Baking Soda,  Cream of Tartar will give you the rise you are looking for without the added aluminum and corn starch, which is usually added to the baking powder so it doesn’t clump….totally gross! Did you know that more people have an adverse reaction to corn than other grains? It’s high on the allergic reaction list, but isn’t ever spoken about. Why? High profits in the human and animal food industry. Corn is one of the top 3 crops which are genetically modified, along with soy and canola. GMO’s are not regulated (a subject for another day). Act Natural Health & Wellness, LLC has a ZERO tolerance for genetically modified ingredients and products. Where does the aluminum come from? Double acting baking powders, which react on the counter and in the oven, contain aluminum in the form of sodium aluminum sulfate or sodium aluminum phosphate. Slow acting baking powders have the same problem, unless the acid salt used is sodium acid pyrophosphate. Fast acting, low temperature baking powders contain only monocalcium phosphate (cream of tartar), potassium bicarbonate or sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) and starch. They are typically the choice of health conscious bakers and consumers of  baked goods, trying to avoid aluminum (and corn) in all its forms. What’s the solution? DYI Baking Powder! You can use this recipe to replace commercial baking powder in all of your recipes. We carry Cream of Tarter in individual bottles and in bulk. Baking Powder Recipeit only takes a minute! 1 tsp. baking soda2 tsp cream of tartar Mix the baking soda and cream of tartar in a small glass bowl. This makes 1 Tablespoon of homemade baking powder. If your recipe includes yogurt, kefir, buttermilk, lemon juice or vinegar, there

You are fine sitting up, but try to lay down and, no way! The monster rears its ugly head, making it impossible for you to sleep. Your ribs hurt and your sciatica is acting up. You feel like you have been hit by a truck. So what can you do to get some relief? First, be sure to drink plenty of water, as water will help to dilute the mucous. Include electrolyte beverages like lemonade and coconut water to help keep you hydrated (avoid the big box electrolyte drinks with added colors and flavors). Aromatherapy, homeopathy, and honey can help. Aromatherapy – An aromatherapy chest rub can relieve the cough and help you breathe. The most commonly used commercial vapor rubs contain some ingredients that are toxic, such as turpentine, which is toxic to young children in as little as 3 tsp, and petrolatum, a product of crude oil that coats the skin like plastic wrap and in turn blocks the skin’s natural function of releasing toxins from the body. Homeopathy – (like cures like) Available in pellets and liquid to help wake up the immune system to self-heal. Homeopathy has been around for hundreds of years. This system is still used today by the English Royal Family. Who doesn’t want to feel like a queen? Honey – Honey, especially Manuka with UMF (Unique Manuka Factor) can be used (12 months or older*) to help alleviate a cough. The honey will soothe and coat the throat.

So let’s talk positively about breast health.  What can we do for breast health?  1) Avoid Underwire Bras – Inhibiting lymphatic drainage, bras can trap toxins in the breast tissue, which may lead to cancer.  2) NEVER carry a cell phone in your bra. Is there a link between cell phone placement and breast cancer? Cellphones are two-way microwave radios and should not be kept directly on the body. The soft fatty tissue of the breast readily absorbs this radiation. Case Reports are accumulating of young women with no family history developing breast cancer. The tumors were unusually located directly underneath the skin where they placed their cell phones in their bra. Doctors voice this precautionary advice: Women should not store their cell phones in their bra. 3) Keep active with walking, gentle yoga or meditation. Try some gentle movement once a week. Buddy up and grab a friend to join you.  4) Incorporate more unrefined nut and seed foods like hemp, buckwheat, quinoa, walnuts, almonds, pecans, pumpkin and sunflower seeds into your lifestyle. Add fruits with seeds like blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, kiwi, tomatoes and cucumbers. Even these herbal seeds can be used to spice up your food – cumin, coriander, caraway, anise, and dill seeds. 5) Hold the gluten! Replace all refined carbohydrates including white rice and white/unbleached flour products such as pasta, bread, cookies, crackers, pretzels, bagels, donuts, and cakes – with gluten free options. 6) Eat less vegetable oil. What is vegetable oil anyway? The FDA’s definition of vegetable oil includes canola and corn. Gee, last time I checked corn is a grain and not a vegetable. “Diets high in corn oil leave animals especially vulnerable to chemically induced cancers” say researchers. (Science News, 6/24/89; 10/2/99) Frightening as this statement is, it

Well, they are not all created equal. Did you know that most of the inexpensive brands are made from synthetic ingredients with vitamin compounds, and not the whole vitamin? Why do you think they are so affordable? Chemical by-products and industrial waste are environmentally hazardous and in abundant supply. This makes them both difficult, and costly to dispose of properly. Selling these waste products as cheap, raw materials is a huge win for manufacturers, and repackaging them as health supplements can be very profitable. Synthetic vitamins are made from isolated nutrients derived from natural sources like soy, lanolin, sago palm, sugar beets, corn starch, rice starch, bacterial fermentation or yeast (e.g., vitamin C is made from sugar beet or corn derivative). The manufacturing process uses chemicals, solvents and heat to distill or reduce down these nutrients into one specific isolated chemical structure that is called a “pure” vitamin. This means that children’s vitamins are loaded with synthetic ingredients and don’t do a growing body any good. Remember this important rule “nothing good is cheap and nothing cheap is good.” Don’t pay with your health! At Act Natural Health & Wellness we carry high-quality, organic supplements with food-grade sources, and a proven supply chain. Focus on improving the quality of your food instead of focusing on taking supplements to try to counterbalance a deficient diet. Stop eating C.R.A.P. (Commercially Reproduced Artificial Products).

All those germs and bacteria in confined classrooms may just have something to do with it. How can all kids, big and small, boost the immune system? Here’s how! 1. Support a healthy gut with the foods you choose to eat. Remember, 70% of your immune system resides in your gut. If you are eating sugar and simple carbohydrates you are creating an acid gut environment that weakens the immune system. Did you know that eating sugar can paralyze your immune system for up to 5 hours? Yes, 5 hours! That leaves you without protection should you come into contact with a virus or bacteria left on a shopping cart, door handle or anything airborne. You can cover that cough and snuffle out that sneeze, but those little buggers can live for a long time on any surface they wind up on. 2. Consider avoiding anti-bacterial hand soap and hand sanitizers, because it isn’t only the bad guys that are killed off. No way, they all bite the dust, good and bad bacteria together. Bacteria have their own eco-system, with thousands of types. If we disrupt the eco-system, we gain new resistant bacteria. The good guys have the ability to transform into hostile bacteria over time. Did you know that e-coli used to be friendly? In order to survive, it mutated into a bad guy. You can’t fool Mother Nature!! 3. You want to be sure to create meals and snacks that support your immune system. Think about eating for the season. The foods grown during a season help support the body and the immune system. Think about cabbage, sweet potatoes, kale, almonds, spinach, oats, mushrooms, garlic, and the mineral rich herbal

She works as a nurse at a hospital.My friend was “jonesing” for a snack. She was having a response to her sugar addiction, and was talking to me from the cafeteria like a drug addict looking for her next fix. She needed my help in finding something healthy to grab. You would think there would be at least one healthy snack there, it’s a hospital after all, it’s where all the sick people go to regain health. She thought about a banana. Really? It will give you an insulin spike leaving you hungry and craving more sugar. How about a snack bar? Loaded with added forms of sugar from corn. She read the ingredients to three snack bars and not one was fit for human consumption-that is, if you are trying to avoid artificial flavors, added sugar, man made sugar, GMO ingredients, soy, soy by products, gluten, and fillers. How about a cup of tea? Yes! It will help with dehydration and help to satisfy the sugar craving. Let’s read the ingredients on the package of that lemon ginger tea. It’s just tea. No it isn’t! Black tea, soy lecithin, and natural flavors. What the heck is soy doing in a tea bag? Where do those natural flavors come from? The FDA does not regulate natural flavors, they are made in labs by chemical companies.My wise friend decided to grab the bag of trail mix and container of water she brought to work. Good idea! Do you think grabbing a sugary snack is the answer to hunger? Think again, because dehydration can trigger the hunger feeling.

As the kiddos return to school they may be accompanied by excitement and stress. Not to mention being back inside, which increases the potential to catch a little something from a classmate. Be mindful of bedtime, as children need a lot of sleep. Try to make sure you stick to a proper bedtime, and totally limit any kind of screen time an hour before bed. This will give your child’s eyes and brain time to relax. Choose a healthy meal lifestyle. Did you know that eating sugar paralyzes the immune system for up to 5 hours? Did you ever notice that you or your child is more likely to catch a cold during the holidays or after a birthday party? Why? Sugar and Stress! Consider probiotics to boost the immune system and hydrating beverages such as unsweetened coconut water. Gluten and dairy also have the potential to aggravate the immune system. Gluten is found in wheat, and wheat is in everything from bread, bagels, donuts, pastry, pasta, crackers and so much more. Gluten is difficult for some to digest and may lead to leaky gut syndrome. 70% of your immune system resides in your gut, so when your gut isn’t well, your immune system isn’t well. All the above listed foods are simple carbohydrates, which turn to sugar in the body. This leads and contributes to the roller coaster of emotions effect. Dairy contains lactose (milk sugar), cow hormones and, depending on the brand of dairy you consume, added growth hormones. Dairy is difficult for some to digest and may potentially cause belly discomfort and more.
