The Importance of Fiber in Your Body

Are you getting enough fiber in your body? Did you know that we need 32 grams of fiber every day?
But most likely, we only get 10 to 15 grams while those who are on a low carb diet get only 7 to 8 grams daily. That is why Dr. Mercola recommends Fiber Harmony Organic Psyllium - an organic fiber solution. What can Fiber Harmony do to your body?

Here’s how:
Fiber Harmony with certified organic psyllium is a rich source of soluble and insoluble dietary fiber to:

• Satisfy your daily fiber requirements
• Naturally promote your healthy elimination and regularity
• Assist in supporting your normal cholesterol levels
• Support your gastrointestinal and immune system health
• Promote your heart health
• Support and maintain your healthy weight
• Help you feel full longer, so you have less room for other not-so-healthy food choices

Dr. Mercola’s organic psyllium now comes in 3 flavors that you can choose from - chocolate, peach and orange. Experience the benefits of Psyllium combined with Inulin to help support the growth of beneficial bacteria, Aloe Vera Leaf to promote digestive health, and Marshmallow Root to soothe the digestive system – all in great tasting chocolate, peach or orange flavor.

Wanna be Tan Without the Sun?

Wanna be Tan Without the Sun?

UVB (Ultraviolet B) that we get from the sun can give us burnt skin like a burn from fire or hot water. Radiations from UVA (Ultraviolet A) and UVB can cause pre-mature cancers and other skin diseases. Using sunscreen protection is not enough to protect your skin from harmful UV rays of the sun.

What if you wanted to have a tanned skin? A lot of people preferred getting tan under the sun, but they are unaware of the dangers that the sun can give.

Instead of getting skin diseases caused by the sun, why not get enough vitamin D and a tanned skin through Dr. Mercola’s Tanning System. What can this tanning system do to your body and health?

1. The SunSplash is an 8-lamp system that produces both UVA and UVB rays (and tanning) -- the same beneficial energy that the sun produces.

2. The revolutionary new D Lite System, the first of its kind in the country, is a 12-lamp system that produces ONLY UVB rays. It is designed for those of you who want the benefits of the sun without tanning.

3. The all-new, innovative SunSplash Renew combines the extraordinary benefits of the SunSplash Tanning and D-Lite Systems into one.

You should definitely avoid sunburn at all costs.
With that being said, in moderation, ultraviolet rays from the sun or a tanning system can have many benefits for you. Just don't expose yourself long enough to get sunburned. Make your exposure to vitamin D-stimulating rays a positive one.
