Antibiotics Effect on Bacteria Our Body and Immune System
Have you ever seen people fond of suggesting medicines to a friend and also taking medicines in each and every minor problem. If their body temperature goes above 36.5 C, they will immediately take Paracetamol tablet and may also take an antibiotic. And Now! No need to see a doctor! Hurray!
Such people aren’t doing anything good but making their immune system as much week as possible. If we talk about fever. It’s a natural process of our body to deal with a disease or infection.
Most of the bacteria have a certain range of temperature in which they can survive, and a rise in body temperature paralysis them and help our WBC (White Blood Cells) to fight against them. We should never take medicines in mild fever as in short term it might help you to get rid of fever but in long run it will make your immune system weaker and weaker and weaker.
Mild fever ranges from 36.5 C to 39.5 C. This temperature is OK for our body and will not harm us. But if it goes above39.5 then we should consult a doctor and take proper medicine. Avoid taking higher does to get rid of fever as soon as possible.

Effect of Antibiotic on Human Immune System
Some people like antibiotic so much that they take antibiotic if they are feeling any mild unconfortableness in their body. Here we have listed few effects of antibiotics:
- Sometimes it’s a viral infection and taking antibiotic will have no effect on virus.
- All bacteria are not bad, but antibiotic will treat all of them in same manner.
- Antibiotic destroys some beneficial digestive enzymes and affect our digestive system.
- It reduces our bacterial resistance power and we will catch any bacterial infection more easily.
- If you take antibiotic when you don’t need it, then it will not work when you need it. Its because body will develop its resistance power against that antibiotic.

Time For Spring Cleaning A Little Detox
Every day our bodies are bombarded with millions of toxins from polluted air, poisoned drinking water containing chlorine and fluoride, industrial chemicals, and so much more. Couple that with years of ingesting hormone-injected meat and dairy products, soy, white flour, table salt, MSG and other food additives, pesticides, microwaved foods, refined sugar, artificial sweeteners, caffeine, alcohol, and prescription drugs.Holy shitaake! Is it any wonder that we are a culture plagued by heart disease, autoimmune disorders, cancer, obesity, autism, Alzheimers, depression and a host of other alarming health conditions. Many of the symptoms weve come to associate with "normal aging" are really signs of toxicity.
Lucky for us, the body is an amazing machine and naturally detoxifies every single day, whether we take any action to help it or not. But what happens when the organs of elimination become weak and/or overloaded? Garbage in. Garbage out. The body will resort to eliminating toxins through any convenient outlet it can find – the eyes, ears, throat, vagina, skin, sinuses, and scalp.
Symptoms of Toxicity:
sore throat
inflammation
fever
coated tongue
excess weight
hay fever and allergies
pimples
dandruff
chronic fatigue
indigestion
sinus troubles
migraine headaches
bad breath
heartburn
foul-smelling stools
strong body odor
nausea
runny nose
constipation
diarrhea
hemorrhoids
aches and pains
cellulite
bloating
gas
These "symptoms" may be a sign that toxins are becoming backed up in the lymphatic system, blood, liver or colon — all of which they must pass through before they leave the body for good.
What can we do to assist the bodys natural cleansing process?
Consume an 80-100% raw, low-fat organic vegan diet
Raw juice fasting
Colon cleanse
Liver/gallbladder cleanse
Heavy metal cleanse
Parasite cleanse
Lymphatic massage
Dry skin brushing
Rebounding
Any lightening of your diet will have a detoxifying effect. You can jump on board for a Spring Green Cleaning and join certified nutritionist Meghan Telpner for a 3-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse, beginning Sunday, April 19. Meghan will prepare you for the cleanse with a shopping list, recipes, meditation techniques, yoga postures, support materials, and a Q & A conference call on Saturday.

Theyve created an online community for juicing, with videos, books, and over 350 articles for download.
Heres some interesting food for thought: every meal that youve put in your body since birth that is not a fruit or a vegetable is partially stuck in the body, like cement. In fact, cleansing guru Gil Jacobs says that adults whove grown up on a standard western diet and then convert to a diet of primarily raw, plant-based foods, could do a colonic a week for life because their bodies are so filled with waste from all the previous years of eating "normal" food. Visit the Colon Therapists Network to learn more about colon hydrotherapy and to find a therapist near you.
Whatever you do to assist your body in eliminating toxins, one things for certain — youll experience new vigor and vitality, freedom from illness, sweet smelling breath, no body odors, easy and inoffensive elimination, shinier and thicker hair, clearer eyes and skin, greater mental clarity, no cellulite, greater stamina, and a deeper connection to spirit.

CrockPot Potato Leek Soup Recipe
Day 290.
Wow, the year is flying by. I meant to make potato leek soup eons ago, and never got around to it. My mom made some on the stove top over the weekend and brought over a container, and it egged me on to recreate it in the crockpot.
It was terribly easy. Especially because Adam was home for the day (I was on call for jury duty. I didnt have to go in, phew.) and did all of the chopping while I answered email.
I didnt add any heavy cream. You can, but I was pleased with the flavor and creaminess without a drop of cream.
The Ingredients.
--3 large leeks, cleaned and diced (you only use the white part)
--1 medium yellow onion, chopped
--1 pound brown potatoes (weigh them---youll only need 2 or 3)
--5 cups broth (chicken or vegetable)
--1/2 tsp thyme
--1/4 tsp black pepper
--2 cloves chopped garlic
--1 cup heavy cream (optional)
The Directions.
Have your husband do all the work.
He used the 6.5 quart eLume---peel the potatoes and chop everything up and toss it in with the broth and the spices.
If you are going to use heavy cream, you dont add that until cooking is complete.
Cover and cook on low for 7-9 hours, or on high for about 4.
When the potatoes and onion are fully cooked and soft, use an immersible blender to soupify.
If you dont have an immersible blender, blend in small batches CAREFULLY in your traditional blender.
Stir in heavy cream, if desired.
The Verdict.
This is a light, creamy soup that is perfect for a starter course, or for sipping out of a mug on the couch. Im going to have it for lunch this week.
Adam packed some to take for lunch at work. The kids didnt try it, and thought it smelled gross. It does have an earthy smell while it cooks. I opened a window and turned on a fan.
thank you, mom!

Drink 1.5 liters of water per day.
Set a reasonable goal that suits you perfectly.
Indeed, again, it all depends on your own habits and your potential excesses.
For example, remove sodas, replace sugar with aspartame does sweeten coffee on a two ??.
Sometimes just little to significantly decrease your calorie intake.
Do the math: a piece of sugar is 20 calories and three coffees a day with two pieces of sugar is 120 calories.
Several months or even a year, it is very significant on the scale. Soda is more than 72 calories ??
You can also play on the portion size, the fat (butter, margarine, sauces, meats ??), etc.
Get moving regularly.
If you are not sports (ve), walk more imposing, for example, you go for the bread on foot down a bus or subway station before your destination, take the stairs instead of escalators and lifts, etc.
Set some easy resolutions of this type and stick them in the long term.
If outdoor dining.
Feel free to take a small light snack beforehand (small plate of rawness, yogurt 0% fat, a fruit ??), so do not you take the peanuts and other appetizers.
Plan: what not to do!

You will not hold and develop compulsive desires.
You should also know that occasional differences are not dramatic.

Losing weight too quickly.
Sii you lose a pound a week is too fast and tiring.
The aim is to gradually adopt new habits to keep them all his life.
Weigh yourself every day.
Do not weigh yourself every morning.
Once a week is good, on the same day and at the same time, ideally in the morning on an empty stomach.
Remove dairy products, meat, fish, eggs.
These protein sources you snap and you avoid muscle wasting.
Do not delete either bread or starches.

Easy Peanut Butter Chicken Slow Cooker Recipe
The kids and I have been on a peanut butter kick lately. We seem to go through a jar a week---I smear it on rice cakes (we like the apple ones) and sprinkle on dried cranberries for breakfast, and mix it with honey and dip in green apples for an after-school snack. Ill even sneak a spoonful right out of the jar when no ones looking.
The baby still cant have peanut butter, so she stuck to quinoa while the rest of us scarfed down this chicken (p.s. QUINOA MAKES A BIG MESS under the high chair).
a big one.
I used chicken quarters for this recipe because I bought a bunch on sale, but if I was to purchase chicken specifically for this dish, Id opt for boneless, skinless thighs.
The Ingredients.
serves 4
 |
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken, cut in chunks *
1/2 cup natural peanut butter (creamy or chunky, your choice)
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced
1 large onion, coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 lime, juiced
1/4 cup soy sauce (use gluten free--La Choy or Tamari wheat-free)
1/2 cup chicken broth
* If you are going to use quarters, or meat with bones, be aware that the meat will probably fall off the bone, and youll need to fish out the bone pieces before serving. Ive used this sauce with a whole chicken (I doubled the sauce ingredients for a 4.5-pound bird) and it was fantastic, but the bones were a bit of an issue.
The Directions.
Use a 4-quart slow cooker. Put the chicken into the bottom of your pot and add the peanut butter. Toss in the vegetables and cumin. Squeeze in lime, and add soy sauce and chicken broth. Stir as well as you can to combine (the peanut butter will be clumpy, and thats just fine). Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for about 4 hours. Serve over rice or quinoa.
The Verdict.
Adam and I both think this sauce tastes like the Thai Peanut Butter chicken we order from our local Thai restaurant. Its delicious---and the whole pot costs less than 1 serving does at the restaurant! If youre not serving children and would like a bit of a kick, you can add red pepper flakes either while cooking (start with 1/2 tsp) or at the table to taste. If youd like, you can squeeze on some extra lime juice at the table.
My kids love this meal, and eat much more than they usually do for dinner when I serve it.
