What ’s the best way to get rid of bed head? Episode 122
Does this bed head product really work?
Sasha asks…Can Ma Cherie Perfect Shower fix your bed better than regular water? Is this worth the money or is it nothing more than water mixed with leave in conditioner?
Let’s begin by talking about what causes bed head. First, you have to realize that there are two different kinds of bonds that control the shape of your hair. There are the disulfide bonds – these are very strong chemical bonds (kind of like the rungs of a ladder that keep the proteins in your hair locked in shape. These are very tough to break – think relaxer or straightening treatment. Then there...

Massive Natural pH Fluctuations Do Not Inhibit Marine Life in a Coastal Environment
According to four American researchers–(Baumann et al. (2015))–projections of ocean acidification, in which the average pH of the open ocean is predicted to decline by 0.3 pH unit over the next century, have “heightened the need to better understand the sensitivity of marine organisms to low pH conditions.” As a result, numerous ocean acidification experiments have been conducted on various marine organisms, producing a wide range of results. This “complexity of organism responses to elevated CO2,” continue Baumann et al., “appears to stem, in part, from insufficient knowledge and thus appreciation of the sca...

Eat, pray push?
I’ve previously expressed my reluctance to dwell very much on the issue of constipation, but this common issue is one of the defining problems with wheat and grains, despite widespread conventional advice that they are healthy sources of fiber.
Here’s an excerpt from chapter 4 of Wheat Belly Total Health, Your Bowels Have Been Fouled: Intestinal Indignities From Grains:
“A condition as pedestrian as constipation serves to perfectly illustrate many of the ways in which grains mess with normal body functions, as well as just how wrong conventional ‘solutions’ can be. Constipation remedies are li...

Josee’s Dad succeeds at Wheat Belly with her coaching and cooking
Josee shared a wonderful story of how she helped her father succeed in following the Wheat Belly lifestyle, important to reduce/eliminate risk for coronary disease:
“I wanted to share my father Andre’s progress so far. He’s lost 36 lbs but he still wants to lose another 10 lbs. The ‘before’ picture was taken in July, 2014, but he started cutting carbs and grains in November, 2014. The ‘after’ picture was taken in July, 2015.

Wheat Belly meals and flours for baking
So you kiss all things wheat and grains goodbye. And you’ve come to learn that gluten-free foods made with replacement flours like cornstarch, tapioca starch, potato flour, and rice starch are also very destructive, since they make visceral fat grow, send blood sugar through the roof, and contribute to diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, and dementia. (If these gluten-free food manufacturers persist in pushing gluten-free foods made with these awful ingredients, I’m going to have to write a new book: “Gluten-Free . . . Fat, and Diabetic“!)
But perhaps you’d sure like a few muffins o...

Is MiraLAX Safe for Children?
In the small print on the side of a bottle of MiraLAX, you’ll learn that it’s recommended by the manufacturer only for people 17 years of age and older and that it should be used for no more than 7 days at a time.
But MiraLAX is given to many young children daily for months at a time – sometimes even for years.
MiraLAX and similar medications are laxatives and stool softeners using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 3350 as the active ingredient. These medicines are very widely used, work well, and are well tolerated by most children – so much so that the North American Society for Pediatric Gastroenterology, Hepatitis, and...

How NOT to have diabetes
If you want type 2 diabetes , follow conventional advice to cut fat and eat more “healthy whole grains.” (This is also true for type 1 diabetes in susceptible individuals with pancreatic beta cell autoimmunity triggered by wheat gliadin or corn zein.)
But what if you don’t want to follow the footsteps of the two thirds of Americans and Canadians who are now diabetic or pre-diabetic? What if you don’t want the expense and side-effects of oral drugs and insulin–one of the most powerful weight gain drugs around? What if you don’t want to lose your eyesight, develop cardiovascular disease, ...

7 Rules That Keep My Life Simple
By Leo Babauta
I enjoy creating a few simple rules to live by that take away some of the overwhelming decision making we need to make every day.
Pre-think these decisions, formulate them into rules, and then just follow them, freeing your brain for more important decisions.
Why should we need to give so much thought to what we’ll wear and eat, how we’ll exercise and handle email, when these are things we do every single day?
So I’ve been crafting a few rules that keep my life simple, so I don’t need to think about the little things so much.
These rules change, depending on my life circumstances R...
