Did you know that the humble lemon has incredible healing properties for the body?

The medicinal value of the lemon is as an antiseptic. It is also anti-scorbutic, a term meaning a remedy which will prevent disease and assist in cleansing the system of impurities. Due to the digestive qualities of lemon juice, symptoms of indigestion such as heartburn, bloating and belching are relieved. By drinking lemon juice regularly, the bowels are aided in eliminating waste more efficiently thus controlling constipation and diarrhoea.

The energy you get from your food comes from the atoms and molecules of energy in your food. A reaction takes place as cationic food enters the digestive tract and encounters anionic digestive enzymes.

To explain further, an ion is part of a molecule con-atom or a group of atoms that carry an electrical charge. Ions which carry positive charges are “anions.” Lemons are considered to be anionic, having more anions (negatively charged ions) of energy as compared to cations (positively charged ions) in their atomic structure. Saliva, hydrochloric acid, bile and the stomach’s other digestive juices are also anionic.

Lemon is one of the only food on the planet that has more anions than cations in its atomic structure.

So, next time you are making up a juice, try and include at least a quarter of a lemon, and give yourself a fantastic start to the day!

The importance of caring for our oral health is something that has been greatly underestimated. Think about it - if the first few inches of your intestinal tract isn’t healthy, how can the rest of it be?

Join the vibration revolution. It’s the latest fitness machine to take the sporting and celebrity world by storm. Madonna reportedly used a vibration platform to hone her 48-year-old body into looking half its age for her last tour.
So how does it work?
The machines vibrate at between 30 and 50 times a second, which transfers energy to the body and triggers rapid muscle contractions. This means you work harder all over when you’re on it. In a 12-minute workout, you train every muscle in your body and contract them to the same degree each time.
Read how NASA is now working with vibration therapy to increase bone density in astronauts. And also a study of 60 menopausal women with osteoporosis.

The latest vibration platform has no handles - so there is no interference with your workout or yoga poses. 

So what’s all the fuss about Alkaline water?

Alkaline ionic water is considered to be the most healthful form of water for the human body, since it is easily absorbed into the cells, contains beneficial minerals, eliminates reactive oxygen and protects DNA from oxidative damage, which accelerates ageing and contributes to many diseases.

Unfortunately in today’s world, naturally occurring, nutrient-rich foods are becoming a thing of the past. Eons of vegetation growth and aggressive modern farming techniques have brought many of the earth’s minerals to the surface where they have been washed away to the oceans. To address this there is no better way than ConcenTrace Trace Minerals.
