Never Dispose Eggshells

-
Most people tend to dispose of the egg shells once they are done with cooking the eggs.However, by throwing them in the trash, you will be deprived of many health benefits.

As a matter of fact, egg shells are probably the best natural source of calcium and are much easier for the body to digest and absorb. Egg shells are healthy and balanced calcium, thanks to the trace amounts of other minerals.

Namely, the calcium found in egg shells is the same calcium which our bones and teeth are made of. Not only is calcium needed for healthy bones, it is needed for the muscles and nerves as well.

As mentioned above, the powder from egg shells is easily absorbed and this is confirmed by several studies conducted in the US National Institutes of Health. In addition, it was found to reduce blood pressure, lower cholesterol levels, and of course, to strengthen the bones.

As little as half a tablespoon of eggs shells powder provides about 90 percent of the recommended daily intake for an adult, as it contains about 1000-1,500 mg calcium.

SIMPLE WAY TO USE THE EGGS SHELLS

  • First, boil the eggs for about ten minutes in order to eliminate the detrimental bacteria.
  • Let them cool.
  • Crush them so that you get a powder.
  • Store the powder in a previously sterilized jar.
In order to use this powder as a natural calcium supplement, simply add it in smoothies or cereals. However, its use goes far beyond using it as calcium supplement.  Here are a few unusual ways in which you can use egg shells!


  • Mix them with an egg white and apply onto the face to restore a youthful glow to your skin
  • Mix them with soapy water for a powerful DIY cleaner
  • Feed them to your chickens to boost their calcium intake
  • Add them to your coffee to reduce bitterness
  • Sprinkle them around the garden to repel pests
  • Use them as compost to make your garden thrive
  • Start some seedlings
  • Use them as laundry whitener. For optimal results, use a handful of broken eggshells and two slices of lemon
  • Use them as garbage disposal cleaner
  • Use the shell’s membrane as an all-natural bandage for cuts, pimples, and splinters
  • Use them to make mosaics or mixed-media art projects
  • Use comfrey root and fresh egg shell for re-mineralizing your teeth
  • Add it to your nail polish to strengthen the nails
  • Sprinkle a few teaspoons of the eggshell powder to your pet`s food to treat diarrhea

Women Who Cop This Attitude Live Longer!

American philosopher and psychologist William James said, “Pessimism leads to weakness, optimism to power.” It’s a quote that makes sense to most American women. We’re a positive nation on the whole, and believe in having hope for the future. We know that if we can approach each day with an optimistic attitude, things are likely to go better for us than they would if we set out each morning with frowns on our faces. A recent study suggests that optimism may do a lot more for women than give them hope or happiness, however. Researchers at Harvard’s T. H. Chan School of Public Health observed data from 70,000 women, and found that those who were more optimistic actually had a better chance of living longer lives! What does this mean for us? After all, we can’t always put smiles on our faces. There are days when things just aren’t good, and no amount of attempts to “be positive” will make them better. What actions do we really need to take in our lives to enjoy the benefits o...

Considering these findings, how can we all become more optimistic? Below are several suggestions that may help. Even if you don’t think you’re a particularly optimistic woman, you can improve. Dr. Kaitlin Hagan, one of the lead researchers on this study, told Harvard Women’s Health Watch that people can change: “Previous studies have shown that optimism can be instilled by something as simple as having people think about the best possible outcomes for various areas of their lives.” Dr. Sood agrees, stating that optimism can be learned, and that if women can be optimistic, “they are more likely to have more incremental benefit in their health outcomes compared to men.” 1. Keep a gratitude journal. Many studies have shown that having an attitude of gratitude is good for us. Optimistic people tend to “look on the bright side.” You can generate these feelings in yourself by keeping a journal in which you record five good things that happened to you each day. Some days it will...

Estimates show that around 75 percent of all women will have a vaginal yeast infection at some point in their lives! What causes a vaginal yeast infection? You guessed it: yeast! But did you know that the same type of fungal yeast that grows outdoors on trees and plants is actually very similar to the type that can develop inside the body and lead to an infection? It’s true! While the type of yeast that causes vaginal yeast infections as well as candida symptoms can be completely harmless, at some point its levels can reach high enough to take over our body’s “good bacteria” and cause a vaginal infection or worse. The good news is that there are several natural steps you can take to get rid of a vaginal yeast infection for good. Vaginal yeast infections can be treated naturally at home with supplements, essential oils, a nutrient-rich diet and probiotics. Take a look at six home remedies I recommend to prevent and/or treat this issue that too many women just can’t seem to...
