Is Your Colon Making You Sick? How To Begin Feeling Amazing Again

By Cherie King

Inside: Is your colon making you sick? This article will be a first step in determining that. Plus, you’ll get some tips to help get your digestive health back in order!

From my tween to my young adult years, I suffered with chronic, pounding, tear-inducing headaches and a face generously decorated with severe acne.

I didn’t quite understand why, I just chalked it up as a normal part of life… about as “normal” as the once-a-week-IF-I-was-lucky bowel movements I used to have.

Thankfully, some years later I FINALLY caught glimmer of hope when advised to research two words: colon cleanse.

And the more I researched, a shocking realization squared off and stared me right in my pimply face.

My own body had poisoned me. [Read more…] about Is Your Colon Making You Sick? How To Begin Feeling Amazing Again

Are Liquid Vitamins Better Than Pills?

By Cherie King

Those big, hard, chalky vitamins that stay stuck in your throat, suck.

But since you probably need a supplement to make up for any nutrients you’re not getting from food, I suggest trying a different form of vitamins like gummies, capsules or liquid.

But liquid vitamins taste AWFUL!

Yeah, some of ’em do. But I’m of the opinion that liquid vitamins are, indeed, better than pills (which I plan to explain in a bit) and once you’re convinced, check out my tips to take liquid vitamins if you’re picky.

 

Why Are Liquid Vitamins Better?

When you take vitamins of the horse pill variety, there’s a good chance you’re flushing them (and your hard-earned money) right down the toilet… LITERALLY.

Most vitamin companies save money by using cheap ingredients that include fillers, binders and hard coatings that inhibit pill absorption.

“…they could potentially go through your body without releasing all the nutrients” – Consumer Lab president, Dr. Tod Cooperman.

“If the pill is compacted too tightly, or the pill coating is too thick, it will pass through your system without dissolving.” – “Vitamins: How to Shop

Wisely,” Los Angeles Times (June 24, 2002)

are liquid vitamins better than pills

The bottom line is that pills must dissolve in the digestive tract BEFORE absorption can take place.  If they don’t, they become “bedpan pills” that are still intact in your feces when you go to the bathroom.

But a liquid vitamin is, well… liquid – no dissolving or breaking down necessary. And that alone makes it better.

All you need are the right INTERNAL conditions to ensure your body absorbs it.

Is your body properly absorbing nutrients?

Some folks’ bodies, regardless if they take pills or liquid supplements, aren’t.

One, main reason is due to a severely-impacted colon, seeing as that’s where the absorption of nutrition from food & supplements takes place.

So, you could be taking a high-end liquid multivitamin but not gaining much benefit if your colon is backed up and in need of cleansing.

Other factors that may hinder your ability to absorb vitamins and minerals are age, weight, and state of health.

How to ENSURE You’re Benefitting From Your Multivitamin

The best way to ensure your body is actually absorbing the nutrients from your supplement is to, first, make sure you choose one with GOOD ingredients.

Next, consider making the switch from hard, indigestible pills to liquid form or, at the very least gummy, capsule, or sublingual vitamins.

You’ll also want to be certain the source of vitamins & minerals in the supplement are from natural sources as opposed to synthetic.

And again, be sure your body is in a position to readily absorb whatever you decide to take, by making sure your digestive system is functioning properly.

Now, should you decide on a liquid vitamin and you want one that’ll give you the energy boost and nutritional kick in the arse you need, click here to investigate the one I use.

5 Tasty, Healthy Drinks Other Than Water

By Cherie King

Let’s face it and be totally honest…

Yes, water is good for you and you should drink plenty of it.

But if you’re making strides towards eating healthier and transitioning from a lifestyle which includes drinking:

  • soda pop
  • powdered drink mixes
  • fruit juices
  • and any other flavored, sugary beverages

You want healthy drinks besides water.

Yeah, a glass of water can certainly hit the spot after a meal or snack. But when you want something sweet and tasty to wash your meal down with, that apple juice or soda you bought “for the kids” begins lookin’ mighty tasty sitting there in the fridge lookin’ all cold, crisp, and refreshing.

*tsk tsk tsk*

What to do, what to do?
