The liver is one of the most hard-working organs of the body and a healthy liver is critical to many aspects of overall wellness. Most people are aware that the liver is the main filter of the body. It is true that it plays an important role in processing nutrients and eliminating waste from the body, but did you know that this amazing organ also is a key player in the process of hormone regulation throughout the body?
Hormones are substances that are normally associated with the endocrine system, and these chemical compounds are involved in literally every metabolic process in the body both on the cellular and body tissue levels. In fact, life itself could not be possible without the presence of hormones.

The adrenals are a part of the body’s very complex Endocrine System. They are a matching pair of glands, each about the size of a walnut, that are located above both kidneys. They may be small, but the adrenals play a crucial role in our overall wellness. Their main function is to produce and regulate several key hormones. These include adrenaline, noradrenaline, cortisol, DHEA, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone.
When the adrenal glands are working properly, they help the body to healthily respond to stressful situations by temporarily releasing more hormones. The results may include an increase in heart rate and blood pressure, a surge of energy, and heightened senses. This collective response is commonly called “fight or flight,” and is designed to help us manage short-term stress.

A wonderful benefit of working on total body healthy and wellness is clear, radiant skin. We are continually promised through TV, radio, magazines and newspapers that if we will use XYZ cream or cosmetic our skin will return to its youthful radiance and glow. All we have to do is apply it morning and night and almost if by magic we will regain that youthful appearance that many pay thousands and thousands of dollars through surgery to obtain. How many of us have been caught in that trap by believing that just maybe that have something here only to find out that we wasted our money on yet another so-called “magic bullet”?
There are safe and natural ways to obtain youthful looking skin and while natural and organic creams can aid in the process, lasting beauty must begin with lifestyle. How we take care of ourselves—diet, exercise, sleep, water consumption and stress—will show on the skin. I can usually tell how healthy a person is both physically and emotionally by their skin.

Prostate issues are one of the most common health concerns in men over forty. Prostate cancer is of course of great concern, but a much more typical problem is Benign Prostate Hyperplasia (BPH), which is non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate tissue, leading to a host of symptoms — most of which are urinary in nature. Statistically, about 60% of men over 50 are afflicted with BPH. Many people — even in the medical field — consider BPH and its associated symptoms to be a normal part of aging. Despite the high incidence of BPH, this is simply not the case. There are several natural, preventative measures that can greatly reduce one’s risk of BPH.
Due to the location of the prostate gland in the body, when it swells and becomes larger than it was created to be, it interferes with normal urination. When urine leaves the bladder, one of the organs used to facilitate its exit from the body is the urethra. When the prostate is enlarged, it impinges on the free flow of urine through the urethra, causing incomplete urination and a sense of needing to void even when the bladder is empty.
