I'm sure you've heard everyone saying it - the best way to live your life is through a high-fiber diet. Health expert after health expert is telling us this. Even the American Dietetic Association, the Surgeon General, and the National Cancer Institute are pushing the importance of making sure you eat enough fiber. Their recommendation is that every adult should consume at least 20-35 grams of fiber a day (for children the recommendation is "age plus five" meaning their age plus five in fiber grams per day).While that doesn't seem like too much to ask, a lot of the foods we eat today are not full of the high fiber we need, but instead are overflowing with fats and sugars that we don't require. Every day people are tempted by fast food restaurants, snacks that have been preserved and pre-packaged, and other non-healthy options, instead of fiber-rich foods like fresh vegetables and fruits.Not all people can appreciate what fiber really does for the body.

Things that are in the system, like toxins and extra...more

The lymphatic system and blood is involved collecting, transporting, and removing toxic materials from the body specifically the connective tissues. The lymphatic system contains lymph nodes where the toxins are delivered for the immune system to use and destroy invading organisms and chemicals. If the lymphatic system and blood is not cleansed properly, the immune system can be impaired, which leaves the body open to attach from invading organisms. Lymph nodes are filled with a clear liquid called lymph. This fluid is comprised of proteins, waste, and other nutrients to feed cells and remove waste. This fluid surrounds every cell in the body and travels in the lymphatic vessels and or blood vessels and is vital for elimination of waste material. Lucky for us there are herbs that can be used to help cleanse both the lymphatic and blood system. Red clover has been used for years as a lymphatic and blood cleanser. Traditionally, red clover has been used as a liver, nerve, and lung detox as well. Many herbalists recommend red clover when doing a whole body cleanse. Cleansing the blood is important because the blood transports oxygen and nutrients to the vital organs and...more
