The first time I ever heard of argan oil was when I asked a African women (whom had the most flawless skin I have ever seen) what her secret was. Her reply was that she applied argan oil to her entire body daily immediately after exiting the shower. Since then, I have noticed more and more people also discovered argon oil as I started to see it appear in stores and products with greater frequency.

I remember, as a kid, the sound of the meter-man coming to read out utility meter. He had a huge key chain on his waste with what looked like 100’s of keys. You could hear it jingle from down the block. I particularly remember the meter-man because my dog Benji (who was the sweetest people dog ever) would turn crazy and wild to get the meter-man (my dad said Benji was maced by a meter-man as a puppy and desperately wanted revenge).

Though it has been banned twice by the FDA, Aspartame is currently found in over 6,000 product worldwide. Since it is 200 times sweeter than sugar, it is often used in diet soft drinks, low calorie yogurts and other foods and beverages that want to claim, “low calorie” while still offering a sweet flavor. Unfortunately, the product has been linked to severe health issues including brain damage, which will be explained further. For now, let’s look at a brief history of Aspartame.

There are a lot of factors that determine our optimal health. These include hydration, temperature, nutrient profile, and pH. The pH means “potential of hydrogen” and is a measurement of hydrogen ions in a certain solution. The pH scale is a way of telling whether something is acidic, neutral, or alkaline. In your body, a specific balance of acid to alkaline is required.
But why is this required? Our bodies are designed to function within a very narrow pH range, which is around 7.365, making it more alkaline. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. A pH of higher than 7 is alkaline, a pH less than 7 is acidic, and a pH of 7 is neutral.

According the CDC (Center for Disease Control) Obesity (yes obesity is a disease) is an all too common disease state for Americans (and for people from countries all over the world). The U.S. obesity rate is more than one-third (36.5 %). For some groups like non-Hispanic blacks the rate is much higher (48.1%) and for Hispanics (42.5%). In Mexico, the world’s most obese nation, 7 in 10 adults are overweight (that’s nearly 70% of the adult population)! There are also economic factors such as the fact that higher income men tend to be more overweight than lower income men, the opposite is true for women with lower income women being more overweight then higher income women.
