Detoxify your Body
Weighing about 4 pounds, it is the largest organ of the body, and is responsible for approximately 620 functions. The average healthy liver produces over 2,000 recognized enzymes and 2,000 unrecognized enzymes.
Without the liver, digestion would be impossible and the conversion of food into living cells and energy nonexistent. It is the primary metabolic organ for proteins, fats and carbohydrates
It filters over a liter of blood per minute and produces from 1 to 1 1/2 quarts of bile each day. In most cases however, the liver operates at only 1/7th of its ability.
The liver is the body’s primary ‘anti-pollution’ organ.
It is in charge of removing potential toxins from the blood stream. Through the bile, the liver is able to remove certain drugs and heavy metals such as mercury.

On the one hand, it seems that more people than ever are drinking heavily: College students bring bottles into classrooms; office workers nip from jugs all day long. Many of us are like Gerri Johnson, a 56-year-old kindergarten teacher living in Manhattan Beach, who says, “I carry a bottle of water throughout the day, and I’m always drinking.

Attitude - You can’t control what happens to you — troubles, challenges, even good times — but you can control how you respond to these things.

Sun Rays
Human skin has special cells, melanocytes. These cells provide natural, built-in sun protection. You can see it in action each time you tan. Melanocytes produce dark brown substance, called melanin, which does not allow sun rays to penetrate deep into the skin layers as it would be damaging. At the same time sun light stimulates cell generation, skin becomes thicker, and therefore more resistant to UV rays. Turns out the sun is actually good for the skin.
