-Anti cancer:  Coumarins are compounds that are found in celery and can prevent various types of cancers from forming.  At least 7 other different cancer fighting nutrients are also found in celery.

-Weight loss:  Though celery itself does not necessarily burn fat, it contains a great deal of dietary fiber which is filling and hardly any calories to go along.

-Cholesterol:  Raw celery juice can be used to help naturally lower unhealthy LDL cholesterol, thus protecting the heart and blood vessels.

-Kidney health:  Removing toxins from the body helps almost all living tissue avoid damage.  Celery is also thought to help prevent the formation of kidney stones as well.

-Blood pressure:  Phtalides are found in celery, which can naturally lower blood pressure by supporting proper blood flow.  These compounds dilate blood vessels by relaxing the surrounding muscles. 

-PH:  Celery or celery juice can help to balance the body's ph.  By preventing your system from becoming acidic, you greatly lower the chances of infections and cancers.  Alkalinity also supports healthy nervous system function.

-Digestion:  The plant based fibers contained in celery can provide for regular, non-strenuous bowel movements.  Celery is also thought to relax muscles overworked by taking store bought laxatives.

-Inflammation:  Celery is believed to have strong anti inflammatory effects.  Inflammation is an underlying cause for several diseases including heart disease, cancers, arthritis, gout, and autoimmune disorders.

-Exertion:  After a long strenuous workout, drinking celery juice is an effective natural means of replacing vital electrolytes that have been depleted throughout the course of sustained exercise.

Healthy sweetener: it exists!

Not just a natural sweetener, but a wonder herb all in itself!

Beware sugar free items at the grocery store.  Lowering your sugar intake is a good idea, but you must be careful to avoid toxic artificial sweeteners.  Stevia not only is without negative side effects, but it may actually make you healthier in addition to sweetening up your dessert or beverage.

     With obesity rates going up and major illnesses such as cancer, diabetes, and depression being linked to sugar people are looking for an answer.  Knowledge of the harm caused by chemically synthesized sweeteners such as aspartame, which was originally formulated in a government bio weapons lab, is spreading and even some natural sweeteners like agave syrup are turning out to be not quite as healthy and safe to consume regularly as once thought.  The natural answer is stevia, a leafy plant that has been cultivated and used for centuries in South America.

     The problem for most people is the fact that stevia tends to have an aftertaste that is not suitable to the discerning pallet.  There are extracts and powdered forms of stevia that can be used instead of the crushed leaves and supposedly offer more of the sweetening effect without adding flavor.  The best feedback has been from people who use the liquid extract, which is several times sweeter than table sugar but passes very little flavor of the plant on to your food or beverage.

- Tooth decay, mouth sores, and gingivitis can be treated using stevia.  Add a few drops to your toothpaste or take a cup of room temp water and add a few drops and use it to gargle as a mouthwash.  This can be a great alternative to commercial mouthwashes that actually contain harmful ingredients and toxic flouride which can be absorbed systemically and cause harm throughout the body.

-Adding stevia to your tea or other beverages daily can potentially help with bone health and may benefit people who suffer from osteoporosis.  Tests on chickens have shown that, when given stevia regularly, egg shells from the chickens had a much higher calcium content.  It is believed that the presence of stevia in the blood stream aids in the absorption of calcuim from our daily diet.

-Applying a mask of crushed stevia leaves and coconut oil for about 15 minutes before going to sleep can help slow aging and repair damaged stressed skin.  Powerful antioxidant and antiseptic properties make for significant skin rejuvenation.

-It is believed that adding stevia to your daily routine can help to naturally lower blood pressure.

Just a few tips for people in search of love. From a person that has had many relationships... epic failures to epic success. The words of wisdom that I would like to share... is this: Find someone who makes you laugh - someone that you aren't afraid to be yourself around. Looks are not the most important thing. Find a kind heart and a gentle soul. Don't be afraid to travel to find your love. Never give up hope. Your soul mate is looking just as hard for you right now as you are looking for them. All will be well. And this tends to help a lot of people... Remember that some day someone will walk into your life and it will suddenly make sense why all those past relationships failed. :)
