1. Avocado for Your Liver, Face, and Hair
==============================================
Avocados are amazing.They are great for your liver (read why below), and can add luster to your hair and a sparkle to your face.They were once a luxury food reserved for the tables of royalty,but now California avocados are enjoyed around the world bypeople from all walks of life.Here are some avocado facts:--They are a fruit not a vegetable--Sodium and cholesterol free--Have 5 grams of good fat--California produces about 90% of the nation's avocado crop--San Diego County is the Avocado Capital of the U.S., producing60% of all the avocados grown in California.--California avocados rank among the lowest of all fruits andvegetables for pesticide useWhy they are good for your liver:Avocados are a good source of glutathione. Glutathione is made upof amino acids that function as antioxidants and are very supportive to the liver. Glutathione levels decrease with age therefore it is beneficial to get natural sources of glutathionewhen possible.
(See Essential Oil Tip below for other ways to increase glutathione)

3. Essential Oil Tip: Thyme Oil for Liver
==============================================
Thyme oil is not only good for battling infectious diseases, butit is very supportive to your liver. It can strengthen yourbody's ability to produce glutathione levels that decrease withage.Dr. Ray Sahelian states that glutathione deficiency contributesto oxidative stress, which plays a key role in aging and theworsening of many diseases including Alzheimer's disease,Parkinson's disease, liver disease, cystic fibrosis, sickle cellanemia, HIV, AIDS, cancer, heart attack, and diabetes.He also says that glutathione is a powerful antioxidant foundwithin every cell. Glutathione plays a role in nutrientmetabolism, and regulation of cellular events (including geneexpression, DNA and protein synthesis, cell growth, and immuneresponse). Glutathione, taken as a supplement, may not be able tocross across the cell membrane and thus may not be effective.Many "anti-aging" professionals work on getting glutathionelevels up. Oral supplementations do not work becauseglutathione may not be able to cross the cell membrane. One idealway is intravenous supplementation, but that is not as accessiblefor many individuals.To learn more about research on the effects of thyme oil on theliver: http://tinyurl.com/for2nOrder your essential oils from your Young Living distributor orby going to http://tinyurl.com/aenfp(An excellent product that has Thyme oil in it for this reason isthe ready made capsule of Longevity by Young Living)

In the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth andpopulated the Earth with avocados, broccoli, cauliflower andspinach, green and yellow and red vegetables of all kinds, so Manand Woman would live long and healthy lives.Then using God's great gifts, Satan created Ben and Jerry's IceCream and Krispy Creme Donuts. And Satan said, "You wantchocolate with that?" And Man said, "Yes!" and Woman said, "andas long as you're at it, add some sprinkles." And they gained 10pounds. And Satan smiled.And God created the healthful yogurt that Woman might keep thefigure that Man found so fair. And Satan brought forth whiteflour from the wheat, and sugar from the cane and combined them.And Woman went from size 6 to size 14.So God said, "Try my fresh green salad." And Satan presentedThousand-Island Dressing, buttery croutons and garlic toast onthe side. And Man and Woman unfastened their belts following therepast.God then said, "I have sent you heart healthy vegetables andolive oil in which to cook them." And Satan brought forth deepfried fish and chicken-fried steak so big it needed its ownplatter.
