Move over Master Cleanse! Gluten-free is the new Diet of the Stars!
Gwyneth Paltrow, Zooey Deschanel, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, Victoria Beckham and Rachel Weisz are among the celebs said to have made gluten the new no-no. And food manufacturers are responding by creating expensive, gluten-free products.
Grab your water and True Citrus! Because just like those hunger pangs that are really thirst, feeling tired during the day may be from not enough fluids, not lack of sleep.
One medical expert says that fully half the patients who come to him because they are feeling tired are actually dehydrated! It’s true, as little as three percent loss of body weight due to dehydration can slow you down, mentally and physically.
We know what fast food is (McDonald’s for example), but what is slow food? Slow food is the name of a world-wide movement that wants to remind people that non-processed, local, seasonal foods without artificial ingredients are the best tasting and most nutritious choices.
Is True Citrus a slow food or a fast food? Good question. True Lemon, True Lime, True Orange and True Grapefruit are fast in that you can take them anywhere and use them in seconds instead of cutting and squeezing fruit.
With the kids heading back to school and all those new GERMS coming at you, it’s tempting to reach for the antibacterials!
But there are good reasons to keep antibacterial soaps, detergents, shampoos, toothpastes, body washes, and cleaning products OFF of your shopping list. Even the American Medical Association is against the stuff!
Kills cells and might alter hormones. The active ingredient in most antibacterial products is triclosan. Not only does triclosan kill bacteria, it also has been shown to kill human cells.
Are you ready for school to start?If your child is about to be mustered up, here’s a few tips to get you both back in the education groove.
Wall Calendar – get out the markers and update with important school events.
Julia Child was born August 15th, 1912. Her groundbreaking cookbooks were published decades before True Lemon was created, so we have no idea what she might have thought about using crystallized lemon (and lime, and orange) in her recipes.
We like to think she’d be thrilled at the way she could cook or bake with all natural True Citrus in either solid form, like salt or sugar, or dissolved in water as a liquid. And that she’d be glad to always have a source of fresh, delicious natural citrus at the ready whenever she needed it!
Are you or someone you know affected by breast cancer? If so, you might want to consider supporting The Safe Cosmetics Act of 2011, which would keep petrochemicals and contaminants linked to cancer out of cosmetics, lotions and soaps.
Right now, plenty of personal products we use in our everyday life contain dangerous ingredients that can be absorbed through the skin, like heavy metals such as lead, and chemicals like formaldehyde, phthalates (often found in fragrances and linked with asthma, birth defects and early puberty) and parabens (hormone-disrupting chemicals associated with breast cancer and reproductive toxicity).
Back in April, during the Royal Wedding, our ears pricked up when a commentator mentioned that Prince William, Prince Charles and Prince Philip all do the same set of exercises every single day.
“Wow!” we thought. Something three generations do daily has to be pretty good! And these fellas do seem quite fit.
We saw this posting from “Tootsie” on RealAge.com, and of course we loved it, because it’s all about the health benefits of lemons.Here’s what Tootsie had to say!
“When I was very young my mother put a half lemon in my lunch box at times and I sucked on it, even eating the pulp. I never had a cold.
At True Citrus, we believe our health depends a lot on what we eat. And we admit that we say adding True Citrus to your diet with lots of water, or instead of salt and sugar is a healthy choice that can improve your weight and blood pressure.
But we are careful to only say what we know to be true. Our mission is to help people to complement their healthy diet and to provide value for people’s money. We wouldn’t want you to think our products were good for you if they weren’t (but they are, so no worries there!)
