Did Your Dermatologist Tell You That SunScreens Are Toxic & Carcinogenic?

It's Almost Summer Time and many people are slathering on sunscreens & sunblocks to protect them selves from the sun.

The problem is that most sunscreens are carcinogenic & highly toxic products.

Many sunscreens contain endocrine disrupting chemicals that act like the hormone estrogen.
oxybenzone, octinoxate, homosalate, are all considered toxic and carcinogenic.

If that wasn't bad enough, most commercial sunscreens are contributing to male infertility because of ingredients that they contain which mimic the "female hormone" progesterone.

These endocrine disrupting chemicals are able to be absorbed through the skin and effect sperm cells.

"Progesterone plays a vital role in a sperm's ability to mature and fertilize a female egg. It controls the attraction of a sperm cell toward a female egg, as well as the sperm's ability to move and break through barriers to reach the egg. "

Not only can many sunscreens contribute to infertility and cancer, but they can lead to vitamin D deficiency !!

I personally don't use sunscreens, I might consider using a sunblock if I'm going to be exposed to really hot temperatures.

My strategy that has worked well so far is to sit under an umbrella and cover my skin as much as I can when I am at the beach. I take my shirt off when I go swimming, then sit back under a umbrella and or a shady spot while covering my skin again with clothing or a towel.

Sunblocks are a better option. They usually contain zinc oxide or titanium dioxide. These are considered physical barriers rather than chemical barriers. (make sure that they don't contain the estrogen mimickers mentioned above.

Check the EWG List of safe sunblock alternatives

I also want to mention that besides the above mentioned strategies that I use, I make sure to ingest loads of antioxidants during the summer and when I know that I will be exposed to high temperatures.

Antioxidants and colorful pigments contained in vegetables and fruit peels help protect our skin.
When we eat them they actually get implanted in our skin, protecting us from sun damage !!

Make sure you are drinking lots of vegetable juices with the skin, and taking advantage of the sunprotecting nutrients in seaweed.

Don't be scared of the sun. Get plenty of sun, just make sure that you don't burn :)

Low Sugar, gluten free meal ideas

Plain Whole Fat Greek Yogurt

I recommend the brand Fage which has 18 grams of protein and 10 grams of fat.
The high protein & high fat content makes this food very satisfying, and will keep you from craving food for a while. You can use it as a dip for vegetables. Carrots, celery, and steamed broccoli are some of my favorites veggies that I like to use along with it.

 

Avocado

 

This is an excellent food that will keep you satisfied and will help keep your blood sugar stable.

Researchers have found that adding a half an avocado to your lunch will "decreased desire to eat by 40 percent over a three-hour period, and by 28 percent over a five-hour period after the meal, compared to their desire to eat after a standard lunch without avocado"

 

You can add it to salads, make guacamole and use as a dip for veggies, add it to burgers (no buns),

and any meat or fish.

 

 

Whey Protein

 

Whey protein is an amazing source of nutrition. It contains compounds that are highly building and immune enhancing. If that was not enough it is an excellent way to lose weight because it has the ability to shut off the hunger center in the brain.

Make sure to avoid most commercial brands since they often contain toxic sweeteners and preservatives.  Many of them are also created with high temperatures which destroy the whey.

My favorite brand is Whey Factors. It is the most quality brand that I know of and is the one I personally use.

Add about 2-3 oz of water into a blender.
Add 1 scoop of chocolate Whey Factors Whey Protein
Add one frozen banana (freeze banana overnight)
1/4 teaspoon vitamin c powder or 1 teaspoon Camu powder
sprinkle in some cinnamon powder.
Add a handful of raw walnuts and unsalted raw peanuts.
1 Tablespoon virgin coconut oil (I like adding udo's oil blend and coconut oil)

* I like my shake thick like the consistency of a thick milk shake.

Blend and Enjoy :)

 

 

 

Organic Eggs-omelets, scrambled, hard boiled these are all good ways to enjoy natures perfect food.  Try 3 of them cooked in butter. Make sure that you don't overcook them. Add a side of veggies with them.

 

 

Nuts-My favorites are walnuts, brazil nuts, pecans, cashews, and macadamia. I don't recommend almonds grown in the United States anymore because they have been steamed or gassed which kills their enzymes. You can put them in salads, smoothies, or eat them as nut butters.

 

 

Salads- eat a big salad every day. Avoid processed dressings.

 

 

Broccoli, Kale, or Cauliflower

 

Steam it for about 5 minutes or until it has a nice green color. Make sure to not overcook.

After add butter and Himalayan or Celtic sea salt to the vegetables.

 

This will be extremely satisfying and will taste incredible !!

 

 

Meats- organic, grass fed is best. Stay away from cured meats.

 

Fish- fish is good but many of them are high in mercury and you must stay away from farm raised fish which is raised in disgusting conditions. Familiarize yourself with the mercury content of the fish that you eat. 

 

 

Cheese is a good as long as you are not intolerant to it. Stay away from processed cheese.

 

Fermented Foods-organic sauerkraut, pickles, yogurt, kefir, kombucha are excellent sources of

beneficial bacteria that can help you process food and assist your immune system. Try to eat some fermented food every day.

This is a beautiful song by Steven Halpern & Georgia Kelly

 

Great way to relax and unwind tension after a hard day.

Is The U.S Government Responsible For Your Seasonal Allergies?

Have you noticed that for the past couple of decades seasonal allergies have been on the rise?

Some years it even effects people who have never had allergies.

Although there are several reasons why people react to pollen, I just came across a major contributing factor.

The USDA !!

Let me explain....

The USDA thought that female trees were a nuisance because they produced fruits, seeds, and pods, that create a mess on city streets.

This sounds understandable, after all who likes cleaning this stuff up?
It attracts insects and produces smells.

So what the geniuses came up with as a solution was to plant only male trees in cities.

The problem is that male trees produce pollen. Now there is an overabundance of male trees that are flooding cities with astronomical amounts of pollen !!!!

Thanks USDA

Psycho Scientists Are Going To Release Herpes Virus Into Eco System

The Australian Government is about to spend 15 million dollars to "eradicate" carp fish with a herpes virus. Carp is considered a pest because it is threatening other species of fish by competing for food and resources.

I think this is a dangerous strategy that will have unintended consequences.

How do we know if that herpes virus will not mutate and effect other fish?

How do we know that this "species specific virus" will not cross mutate to effect humans?

How will they deal with all of the dead fish floating in the water and the toxicity that they will release into the rest of the eco system?

If they have an over abundance of carp fish, why don't they trade them with other countries, or use them to feed people in poor countries?

I predict this becoming a nightmare situation.
