Oil Pulling: A Review of Sesame Oil (50% off Coupon)

Oil Pulling is an ancient Ayurvedic remedy for oral health and detoxification.  It involves the use of pure oils as agents for pulling harmful bacteria, fungus, and other organisms out of the mouth, teeth, gums and even the throat.  The most effective oil pulling is done by placing about a tablespoon of cold pressed organic sesame oil in the mouth and swishing the oil around in your mouth for about 10-15 minutes, and then spitting it out.  I decided that I might give this a try to see if I could reap the benefits of an ancient practice, by using  Sublime Beauty Natural's Organic Pure Sesame Oil.  I'll be honest.  I wasn't sure if this was a process I could handle, as I was unsure of how it would taste, or feel in my mouth.

Product Review: Omega 3 Fish Oil

My doctor recommended that I start taking an Omega 3 supplement last year.  I've been taking Omega 3 fish oil supplements for a little over a year now.  After trying several different supplement brands I can honestly say they are not all the same.  That's one of the reasons I was glad to get to try this one from Quality Encapsulations.  I'm always looking for high quality, affordable supplements. Omega 3 rich fish oil dramatically improves health in variety of ways, including cardiovascular health, circulation, improved immunity and brain function, as well as lowering bad cholesterol levels.

I've found that some fish oil supplements have a fishy after taste. I've used some that were hard to swallow, but these from Quality Encapsulations have neither of these qualities.  This supplement offers 600 Mg DHA + 800 Mg EPA Per serving.  That's just what my body needs to stay healthy.

The REFIT Revolution is about more than just getting fit.

Last year, at the nagging of a friend, I attended my first REFIT class.  I admit, I didn't want to go.  I only went to stop the incessant nagging of my friend.  I've never felt comfortable going to group exercise classes, or to the gym for that matter.  I see all the physically fit, thin people and feel like I don't belong.  I admit, I'm overweight and out of shape.
