What Are The Benefits Of A Yeast Free Diet?

   Let's start with the Problems with yeast! Having yeast in your diet is like have your car exhaust in the atmosphere, it's bad. Yeast can cause all sorts of infections; the infections can occur in the mouth, on the skin, inside of the body, and on the genitals. Too much yeast in your system is what causes these infections and people with weakened immune systems, such as someone with cancer or AIDS, are more prone to acquiring this type of infection. Yeast can also cause day-to-day problems with headaches, digestion, memory, weight, lethargy, and the list keeps going.




Removing yeast from your diet obviously reduces the risk of running into some of the problems listed above. It also helps lose weight, get into shape, remove toxins and chemicals that other foods have released into your body, and can give your more energy. Think about it, yeast is used in the fermentation process beer production, so just imagine what is doing to your body. Yeast removal helps men, women, and children; it can help symptoms of Autism, Crohn's Disease, Fibromyalgia, Arthritis, Thrush, Eczema, and Psoriasis to name a few.


Eating yeast free foods and cooking yeast free does not have to taste bad, nor do you have to remove bread products. There are several recipes out there that are delicious; I have found recipes for meals, desserts, breads, and there are even recipes for yeast free vegan meals. You will lose weight and feel better all around, more energy, less of the day-to-day problems like headaches, memory loss, aches and pains.

Stress relief

     To my surprise, while browsing for crochet patterns I came to find out some interesting stuff. Did you know it has been proven that crocheting and knitting are effective to relief stress, anxiety, depression.
     It is especially useful with those in pain as well. While doing the repetitive movements and stitches it is known to help the brain, thus relaxing it, which can lower blood pressure, help the heart rate and even boost the immune system! Needlework has helped many, the calming effect this has on the brain is also beneficial to children with ADHD, reducing disruptive behavior!

So get out the needles and work those fingers while relieving stress! Not only will you get an awesome finished project, but maybe even a better you!

Baking Soda- Natural Teeth Whittening


   For those who want perfectly white teeth, but are unable to afford a pretty penny at the dentist to have them bleached... why not try the alternative?




   While the following method is not guaranteed to work for everyone nor has been approved by the FDA, is harmless and has been successful on many. The key is consistency. If this method is continued until desired results are met, you may have a beautiful smile again!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Baking Soda: The most successful method of them all. Can be done a few different ways. This method has been used since the 18th century as a teeth cleaning agent!
 
    If you don't mind the salty taste; 

  1. Simply wet your tooth brush,
  2. Sprinkle on tooth brush, or dip into a little baking soda in the palm of your hand. Make sure to cover the entire toothbrush.
  3. Brush as you normally would. Be sure to leave in mouth at least 2  minutes.
  4. Rinse.
  5. *Optional: To remove the salty taste from your mouth brush teeth again with preferred tooth paste.
       -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Can't stand the salty taste?;
  1. Wet tooth brush.
  2. Squirt 'pea' size drop of tooth paste on tooth brush. 
  3. With 'clean' finger spread the tooth paste on all sides of tooth brush.
  4. Sprinkle on tooth brush, or dip into a little bit of baking soda in the palm of your hand. Be sure to leave in your mouth at least 2 minutes.
  5. Brush as you normally would.
  6. Rinse.
 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What exactly does Baking Soda do to your teeth?
  1. Leaves teeth super fresh, smooth and shiny.
  2. Removes plaque build-up.
  3. Removes coffee, wine, smoker stains, etc.
  4. Keeps teeth white and clean.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Warnings:
  1. If your teeth are white, then this method should only be used every 1-2 weeks. Because it can be abrasive to your teeth enamel if used too much. If you are trying to remove stains/yellowness only use 1-3 times a week for the first week. 1-2 times the second week and 1 time the third week, then skip a week. After a month you should have white teeth depending on the amount of stains.
  2. Baking Soda can also dissolve orthodontic glue. DO NOT try this method if you have a permanent retainer or wear braces.
     -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    "This stuff really works!" 

    "Wow! I saw results after the first brushing!"

    "Your teeth look beautiful! How did you do it?"
