If you are a tea versus a coffee drinker, you know there are so many teas to choose from and some better quality than others. Then there are the bags versus the dry tea leaves and all that you can add to the tea to enhance the flavor and the health benefits. Typically I use ginger, lemon and raw honey to any tea that I make. This is not just for taste but for health benefits as well. Take a look at what Dr. Berg has to say in this video about drinking tea.
Dr. Eric Berg DC, YouTube “STOP Drinking Tea Until You Watch This”
So to recap:
Be careful where you get your tea from. China is most likely not a good source. Japan may be a better quality tea without heavy metals such as aluminum, lead and arsenic as well as pesticides and flouride.
Know the symptoms of B1 depletion (this can happen from drinking teas high in tannins)
The tea bags may be bleached with chlorine bleach which is carcinogenic
Take minerals if you drink a lot of tea because it can deplete your minerals
Buy dry, organic and lose leaf tea or buy organic

Ever had way too much to eat and you said you wouldn’t put yourself in that situation again but you did anyway? Struggling with your craving for sugar? These are just some of the things that are spoken about in the video below by Dr. Eric Berg and he gives some suggestions on how to counteract the bad effects of a variety of things that we ingest. Some I can’t call food because they provide no nutritional value. Let’s a look at the following video.
Video credit Dr. Eric Berg YouTube
So having seen the video, let’s recap some of Dr. Berg’s recommendations. I want to mainly focus on sugar and overeating:
Easy things to incorporate to combat the harmful effects of sugar:
*Burn off extra sugar by exercising
*Apple cider vinegar helps to regulate blood sugar
*Lemon water is excellent for those at risk of developing kidney stones from oxalate overload. Unfortunately this can happen when eating a lot of green leafy vegetables, almonds, etc. Lemon water is also good for boosting digestion.
*Cinnamon is a potent spice to lower blood sugar
*You want to eat foods low on the Insulin Index (pure fats such as whole eggs, olive oil, nuts higher in fats; add more pure fats to the meal to buffer the insulin response)
*One thing we can do to combat the effects of sugar is, yes, once again, intermittent fasting. See the chart on the left for benefits. It not only helps to combat sugar but it aids in weight loss, turns on your body’s antioxidants, increases growth hormone (which helps with anti-aging) and so much more.
Make sure to look through the video for more healthy tips on how to combat other harmful substances by using food as our medicine.

I pray all that joined our community in Israel for our Tapin2life Almost Vegan 30 Day Challenge had a great experience. Thank you for those who commented back! My hope is that we all make it a lifestyle change. For those who have just started following my blog, please look at the previous posts and catch up with us in what’s been going on the past month. There are some very tasty, healthy, vegan and almost vegan recipes that can help jumpstart your road to better health.
So what’s next now that we have awakened many people to the benefits of minimizing animal products as well as eating whole foods?
For years I have been wanting to study our food sources a lot closer. There are so many illegal things going on in the food industry that it makes one wonder what we’re eating. Adulteration in the food industry seemed to spike in the midst of the Corona Pandemic. Why in this day of increased technology and information are we more unhealthy as compared to the past? Take a look at this video before we dive into possible solutions to prevent us from being victims of receiving adulterated food or items.
Although the above video can send one into panic and lead one to say, “So how do we know what’s safe to eat?” There is hope, here are some tips to help us to better discern what to buy and what to leave at the store or market:
First of all, know the top foods that are most common sources of food fraud according to scientists. They are usually expensive items and expensive to manufacture so companies that commit this fraud try to cut cost and corners. They may add another food product that’s cheaper or maybe even something that’s not even food.😲 For example cellulose (in the form of wood shavings) in cheese, canola oil in a product labeled 100% olive oil, or even fish that is swapped out for another type of fish or even a spongy material that’s not food. Economically Motivated Adulteration (EMA) is occurring most likely in this case.
Olive oil
milk
honey
saffron
orange juice
apple juice
grape wine
vanilla extract
fish
Of course read all labels if you’re buying a packaged food (look for any additives such as dyes, artificial flavorings, sweeteners, anti-caking agents. It’s best to leave it on the shelf if it’s not a whole food.
With fruits and vegetables, check out the sticker or brand. Of course it’s best to get our foods locally from farmers that we have a relationship with or at least have established how they grow their crops. What we can grow on our own, even from a window garden, why not? Small and local farmers may not be certified USDA Organic due to the cost but but may actually be an organic farmer according to the way he grows his crops.
For example, fruit labeling is divided into the following categories:
Organic
Genetically Modified
Conventional (contains pesticides)
Photo credit: website happilyunprocessed.com
Does your food have an expiration date? If not, it may be something other than food. I would highly recommend avoiding the purchase and use of these items.
See the below video about Israel and the Agricultural Industry. We are leading in this industry worldwide. I am looking into how much Israel uses pesticides compared to other nations, but I have to admit as my homeland, I’m very impressed with the technology.

Only 9 more days to go in our Almost Vegan Challenge! We began as a community in Israel and abroad to support each other in going mainly plant based. Some on the journey like myself had already adapted to this as a way of life and some not. I thank everyone for sending their vids and photos of their journey this past few weeks. Please keep it up. 💪🏿😊 My hope is that you will make it a lifestyle change like me and many others.
A few weeks ago, I posted a video on the benefits of sprouting and this week I want to share my vid on sprouting on your own, particularly lentils. Check out the video below and also see the link in this vid for the previous one to learn about the benefits of using sprouts.
The main tip of the day that I want to share that goes along somewhat with some of the benefits of intermittent fasting is a topic called autophagy. Autophagy isa process by which a cell breaks down and destroys old, damaged, or abnormal proteins and other substances in its cytoplasm. There’s no wonder why when you hear about people receiving the worst diagnoses and then hearing their testimony on how they beat the illness, the majority of the time you hear it was a change in diet in some way, some will say they fasted for a prolonged period of time. Autophagy occurs when we’re in a fasting mode. Listen to the below video by Dr. Mindy Pelz as she describes how you can still receive some level of autophagy even after breaking the fast (keep in mind that autophagy starts at 17 hours). Maximum autophagy as she describes begins at 72 hours. For most of us, fasting is such a radical concept to an approach to better health because society tells us just the opposite. Since I began intermittent fasting, I most definitely see the health benefits. I’m not quite there yet with fasting 17 hours each day but I may reach this a few days out of the week. It’s a start.

We have 9 more days to go in this Almost Vegan Challenge! The report I have received back from many is that it has not been as difficult as they thought it would be, however, it’s easy to fall back into old habits. Try to keep it going and just remember, the body will heal on it’s own if we allow it to through a healthy diet and lifestyle. The best cure for disease is prevention. Life is a gift from the Most High and I pray all will take the utmost care of the one we have all been given.

This is day 5 of our Tapin2life Almost Vegan Challenge!
I hope all that have joined us are doing well and are on the road to better health. Here are a few more meal combo ideas and an easy nutritional tip for those who haven’t tried sprouting. More recipe and vegan/almost vegan meal ideas to come as we continue the challenge.
Watch my quick Video on the amazing benefits of sprouting the lentil!
Lentils are healthy, however, sprouting our seeds and beans can pack in even more nutritional benefit. Take a look at the one minute vid by clicking the above link to see how easy and beneficial it is!
Try this combo for a healthy and filling meal:
Greens of your choice sauteed in olive oil and a bed of red onion, mushrooms and garlic
Brown rice, and if you want to upgrade make it Jollof Rice
Lightly breaded and oven-baked broccoli and cauliflower
Savory slices of sweet potatoes with zaatar seasoning, cumin, salt and pepper with roasted garlic
See this link for more recipes from the last post and if you want to come on board for the Tapin2life Almost Vegan Challenge Let’s Go!
As promised here are some tasty, healthy, some all vegan and some almost vegan recipes if you need some assistance with getting started in our Tapin2life 30 Day Almost Vegan Challenge. My hope is that this will be an introduction to eating healthier in order to heal ourselves from various disease as an adjuvant or as a primary solution in addition to arriving at and maintaining a healthy weight.
As you become more comfortable cooking, my hope is also that you will begin to come up with different healthy combos of foods and pay close attention to eating in the proper order. These are some recaps of a few tips from the last post of do’s and don’ts on food combos and the proper order of intake:
Do not drink full cups of water right before eating your meals. It will dilute your digestive enzymes in the stomach and make it harder to digest your food. Drink at least an hour or so before and sip as you eat your meal if you must.
Fruits should be eaten alone- allow about 40 minutes at least to digest and never after proteins of any kind!
Combine Proteins (whether from animal or plant based) + Leafy Greens or Veggies like cabbage, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, onions, cucumbers, bell peppers, kale and spinach
Combine a HEALTHY STARCH (brown rice, quinoa, barley, spelt) + HEALTHY FATS & NON STARCHY VEGGIES
JUICING is always a great way to break the fast before eating any solid food- a veggie juice is optimal. Invest in a blender if you don’t have one.
Some vegan and almost vegan recipes to get us started:
Breakfast Ideas to break your 10-12 hour fast!
To break the fast start out with fruit or freshly juiced veggie drink or freshly juiced fruits. Eat or drink about 40 minutes before you plan to eat the next meal.
If you want something more sustainable skip the fruit/fruit juice and you can always make a breakfast bowl with plain yogurt and some type of oats.
Lunch ideas
Remember, eat a reasonable portion and we’re eating within a shorter amount of time incorporating intermittent fasting!
A light side of mushroom stuffed ravioli pasta with a veggie cashew cheese sauce (recipe posted below) plus steamed broccoli and cauliflower:
Buy a good brand of stuffed raviolis and cook as directed, add in the cashew cheese sauce: (soak about 200 grams of cashews for a few hours in water, drain, blend with almond or rice milk- whatever alternative you desire, season with: salt, pepper, a dash of soy sauce and a dash of sesame seed oil, 1/2 teaspoon of mustard, a few teaspoons of nutritional yeast, a dash of paprika and alter to taste as you desire with other seasonings), steam your choice of veggies and lightly season with salt and pepper and other seasonings desired and enjoy!
Egg salad with the works
(boil a few eggs ahead of time, mix in chopped green veggies: cucumbers, onions, bell peppers, garlic, add humus instead of mayo, about a teaspoon of olive or avacado oil).
Mushroom, walnut, cauliflower and broccoli vegan patties with a side salad of green leafy veggies.
Blend all ingredients together with 1-2 eggs and a bit of soy and sesame seed oil but don’t over do it with the liquid oils. You want the patties to hold together. Season as desired as you would your meat/chicken or fish. Bake about 10-15 minutes both sides in a 325 degrees F or 275 degrees C Oven. Take out and lightly fry on both sides in a skillet with olive oil 5 minutes. May be served with a side salad, avacado, a simple side of whole grain pasta or brown rice.
Veggie Wrap using kale leaves as the wrap loaded with all the works. If you desire, incorporate eggs or tuna and use humus as the dressing.
Taco Salad
All the fixins of the traditional taco salad but swap out your meat for the same ingredients in the veggie patty (mushroom, walnuts, cauliflower, broccoli and instead of a patty, saute in a pan of olive oil with your typical meat seasonings, chopped or dried cilantro, cumin and spice it up with a lil hot sauce!
In place of cheese or sour cream top it off on top with avocado and cumus!
You can actually alternate between lunch and dinner and ideally the lighter the better for dinner. Lunch should be the heaviest meal but most of us have to ease into eating lighter in the evening as the last meal.
Leafy Green Veggies plus Starchy Veggies like Oven Baked Potatoes and Chick Peas
Sauted Tofu in Sesame Seed Oil and a bit of Soy Sauce with Mushrooms, Scallions, swiss chard or kale (middle pic) with carrots and other veggies you desire. Can add noodles made from spelt flour. Avoid adding sauces like Teriyaki Sauce but if you must only a small amount (contains lots of salt and sugar).
Stuffed Bell Peppers or Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms with a side of lentils or avacado or even starchy veggie like savory sweet potatoes (oven baked with olive oil, salt, pepper, sesame seed oil, a dash of paprika, nutritional yeast, cumin, and other seasonings as you desire).
Baked, lightly battered Egg Plant
Slice in half pieces and season as you would meat
(dip sliced egg plant in wet batter first- egg, almond milk or whatever sub you want, a bit of P Protein and nutritional yeast and flower if needed to make a pancake consistency wet batter, then dip egg plant in the dry batter- your choice of unseasoned bread crumbs or spelt flour)
Bake about 25-30 minutes (may need to flip half-way in between) in a preheated 350 F/275 C oven
Serve with a healthy grain plus a side of avocado drissled in olive oil and a small amount salt +pepper to season
Battered and lightly breaded baked cauliflower/broccoli or both. Same process as above egg plant recipe and switch out sides for salad or a healthy grain like brown rice, spelt pasta or whole grain pasta, quinoa or barley
Good ole’ fashioned veggie soup with spelt pasta noodles seasoned to your taste with a side salad is always a great stand by meal. Be creative with your veggies. Can add barley to your soup to bulk it up.

First of all what does it mean to be a vegan and what’s the difference between a vegan and a vegetarian diet?
Vegan- Oxford’s definitions are as follows: a person who does not eat any animal products such as meat, milk or eggs or use animal products such as leather or wool.
However, Dictionary.com says that vegan is as follows: a vegetarian who omits all animal products from the diet and a person who does not use any animal products, as leather or wool.
Vegetarian- Dictionary.com says: a person who does not eat or does not believe in eating meat, fish, fowl, or, in some cases, any food derived from animals, as eggs or cheese, but subsists on vegetables, fruits, nuts, grain, etc.
Different styles of plant-based eating
Name of diet
Description
Semi-vegetarian or flexitarian
includes eggs and dairy may include small amounts of meat, poultry, fish and seafood
Pescatarian
includes eggs, dairy, fish and seafood excludes meat and poultry
***Ovo-vegetarian***
includes eggs excludes meat, poultry, fish, seafood and dairy
Lacto-vegetarian
includes dairy excludes meat, poultry, fish, seafood and eggs
Vegetarian (a.k.a. lacto-ovo vegetarian)
includes eggs and dairy excludes meat, poultry, fish and seafood
Vegan
excludes all meat, poultry, fish, seafood, eggs and dairy
Eating and drinking our water and food in the proper order and combinations is crucial for maximum digestion and proper nutrition. Let’s look at a few tips:
Water Intake Tips:
Water should be drank an hour or so before eating meals so that you do not dilute your digestive enzymes. If you drink water while eating your meals it should be a sip or two here and there, not a full glass.
It’s great to include fresh squeezed lemon juice in your water to aid in digestion, again, an hour or more before eating a full meal and first thing in the morning after breaking your fast.
Water intake for the average person should be at least 8 cups a day, more for men and those that exercise or stay very active, nursing and pregnant women and depending on the environment (hot or humid climates)
*If you have been told to restrict fluids for some medical reason please always consult your doctor before changing any dietary plan
Watch this short video by YouTuber Joanna Soh Official to hear how to combine foods for maximum digestion and so the nutrients can actually be used the best by the body for fuel and our health
Video credit: YouTuber Joanna Soh Official, ”Are You Eating Correctly? Lose Weight with Food Combining (5 Principles)”
To Summarize& Next Steps
Drink Water at least an hour before meals
Fruits should be eaten alone- allow about 40 minutes at least to digest and never after proteins of any kind!
Combine Proteins (whether from animal or plant based) + Leafy Greens or Veggies like cabbage, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, celery, onions, cucumbers, bell peppers, kale and spinach
Combine a HEALTHY STARCH (brown rice, quinoa, barley, spelt) + HEALTHY FATS & NON STARCHY VEGGIES
JUICING is always a great way to break the fast before eating any solid food- a veggie juice is optimal. Invest in a blender if you don’t have one.
Grocery List!!!!!
DON’T LIMIT YOURSELF TO THIS….IT’S ONLY MY STARTER LIST
Upcoming Meal Prep and Recipes
I will begin posting recipes here on the Tapin2life Blog beginning the end of next week!!!
Ideally we will rotate between one to two juice options to break the fast, a few breakfast choices and about 7 dinner options. The less recipes you start with the easier it is to complete the challenge. As you research more and find what gives your body the best results you can try out other recipes as you become more confident. Don’t be intimidated, it’s just food. You’re allowed to experiment and have fun with it!
Intermittent Fastingis Crucial!
Please see my post on this and why it is so crucial for us. We ideally would eat between a 8-10 hour window and be in a 16 hour fasting state including sleep.
Water Enema for cleansing
Before you start, to remove as much built up waste as possible- this is a huge key to detoxing our bodies and to absorbing the nutrients. The mucus must be removed for proper absorption!
This device can be bought at your local pharmacy or some health food stores, insert with a lubricant, instill 300 mL of water via the rectum, hold for about 10-15 minutes and helps to walk and massage the stomach counter-clockwise then clockwise. Release in the toilet and feel refreshed.
Start Date:January 24, 2023
Since we’ll be doing this together, let’s support one another! Let’s begin our Tapin2Life 30 Day Almost Vegan Challenge together on January 24, 2023 in order to give ourselves time to procure all of the food for various vegan and mostly plant-based recipes. Do it with your whole family for better success.
To the right, a sneak peek at one of my new recipes, Cashew Vegan Cheese on Mushroom Stuffed Ravioli with Steamed Veggies
And last but not least…keep on movin’
Always get some form of exercise and strength building in 3-4 times per week for about 30-40 minutes whether you do brisk walks, resistance bands, free weights or go hard in the gym.
Countdown, feedback and follow-up
I would be so happy to hear how you feel and your comments after just 4 days! Buy all that you can on the above list and see you back here next week to give you some tasty, awesome recipes!
***Special note: this type of diet may not be suitable for growing children. Always consult your pediatrician or healthcare provider before making any dietary changes in general, especially for our little ones. Unless you are diligent at researching your intake of foods to ensure you are getting all of the proper nutrients and minerals, a vegan or plant-based lifestyle may not be for you. It takes ongoing learning in order to have the best outcome whether young or old.

Chronic pain is defined as pain that persists for longer than 12 weeks despite medication or treatment. It’s been estimated by WHO (The World Health Organization) that about 1 out of 5 or more people globally suffer from moderate to sever chronic pain (some surveys claim higher in people of African descent. The most prevalent types of chronic pain include: arthritis, joint pain, back pain and neck pain. Chronic pain of course can have an affect on us mentally and spiritually as well as physically. It can stop us or dissuade us from being social and going to events with loved ones, doing much needed exercises to keep the body in a healthier state, or even have a negative effect on our close relationships, cause lost time from work and lead to depression.
The most prevalent types of chronic pain include: arthritis, joint pain, back pain and neck pain. Cancer pain is also high on the list. Headaches and nerve pain register high on the list as well.
If the underlying cause of the pain is not diagnosed and cured or minimum a way to decrease the pain isn’t found, of course this can lead to an entire gamut of physical ailments and mental states. Some people may even contemplate suicide to get a release from the pain, and that’s truly tragic. So as you can see, chronic pain is something that should be taken very seriously in the health care world and to the individual who is suffering.
DISCLAIMER: The following is just my humble opinions from living with chronic pain at any given time in my adult life. I suffer less from arthritis pain now than ever before, however, my search is still on for complete relief naturally and restoration of my body to be 100% pain free. Always consult your health care provider before implementing any medical changes for your safety.
➡️First and foremost, the first goal should be to get to the root of the problem. What’s causing the chronic pain?
➡️Once the pain source is identified, it needs to be assessed what treatment is best for that particular patient considering underlying medical conditions, previous treatment for pain if any and what the outcome was, goals of the patient for the relief of the pain.
➡️Choosing a course of natural therapy:
Physical Therapy
Physical Therapy can help to not only reduce certain types of chronic pain but to cure as well. There are no side effects like medications can have, it can be tailored to the patients’ needs, it’s highly supported by medial research, and it helps to improve physical activity.
Diet
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to recognize that we need to eat life giving food. If you suffer from being overweight and also have joint disease and pain or just can’t seem to get around like you want to due to lack of energy and the excess weight, YOU NEED A LIFESTYLE CHANGE! Not pointing any fingers but if the shoe fits….well you know the rest. So many things we suffer from are curable with just intaking a more healthy diet and as a great side effect, all of that excess weight will drop off little by little. The healthy eating habits are for the duration of a lifetime. What it takes to get us healthy also we need to keep it going to maintain the health. A lot of people are going as vegan as possible and if meat is eaten, it’s very seldom. In my case, once twice a week my family will have chicken with dinner or salmon. I’m currently working on decreasing my family’s intake of eggs to once or twice a week, which I have incorporated for myself personally. Believe it or not, going vegan is much more affordable than purchasing meat and you still get a great intake of not only protein, but fiber, carbs and all of the vitamins and minerals the body needs. The key is variety. Vegan is not boring, it actually opens up a whole new world of tastes, textures and creativity in cooking. Going raw is always the healthiest and juicing fruits and veggies is a great way to meet your nutritional goals without popping so many vitamin pills and capsules. All of these healthy changes lead to decreased inflammation in the body, fat loss, decreased blood pressure, reverses the effects of diabetes, decreased bad cholesterol and so forth. I’m definitely more healthy than in my 30’s and 40’s. GIVE IT A TRY!
The use of essential oils such as lavender, rosemary, peppermint and others have been used for thousands of years. I personally use Blackseed Oil to help to decrease inflammation in the body and it works wonders for me. I accidently went without it for about 3 weeks (not paying attention that I purchase Black Cumin Oil instead). When I began to feel a return in back pain from almost 2 years ago, I examined the bottle more closely 😨…..no wonder, this wasn’t my Blackseed Oil! I quickly went out the next day to purchase it and got back on it and my pain indeed came back down to a more manageable level. At times I have no pain at all. Some essential oils are strictly to be use externally. Please see the link above for more information on usage.
I am a firm believer in the healing power of tumeric and ginger as well. I believe all that suffer from chronic pain should incorporate these into their diets. Buying the roots themselves or from powder is best in my experience than using pills but get a reputable product should you opt for the pills. Make sure the tumeric has black pepper included to make it bioavailable (absorbed for usage).
Apple Cider Vinegar
This is a well known remedy for certain inflammatory types of pain and so much more. Please see my link on ACV (as well as Blackseed Oil and vegan recipes for more information:
This is a patch with new technology that works on the concept of interacting with your body’s natural electrical system to reduce pain signals in order to help you feel better.Each patch contains millions of micro-capacitors that operate as a bio antenna, allowing the brain and pain location to communicate more clearly and effectively. You can wear it for 5-10 minutes or all day. It doesn’t cure the pain but will give those suffering from the pain relief. See the vid in the link for more info.
Other Natural Remedies: Devices like B Cure Laser (laser therapy), Acupunture and Meditation
Acupuncure and Meditation are said to be very effective, however, I think if you have a fear of needles acupuncture is out for most people and a lot of people are just plain skeptical. Meditation is always a great source for centering and may aid in decreasing the pain because of the decrease in stress that can result.
A quote about B Cure Laser:
The LLLT (Low Level Laser Therapy), as its 2021 prospectus stated, is used “for the treatment of pain, orthopedic problems, wounds, inflammations and other health phenomena”, and this, “in accordance with the indications approved by the Ministry of Health”. The device even underwent several trials designed to confirm its effectiveness.
Globes- Gali Weinreb
➡️Evaluation of therapy/treatment:
Once you’ve chosen the treatment plan that you feel is right for you along with your healthcare provider, give it a predetermined amount of time to work. Most things worthwhile do not show instant results, however, it all depends on the therapy, the individual and the type of pain that is being targeted. Look back at your goal for the treatment that you predetermined before you started with the decided on therapy. It’s ok after the set period of time to say that it did not meet your set goals in that determined period of time and move on if need be to something else. Perhaps adding on to the therapy may even yield better results, like a combination approach.
➡️Above all, have a support group of family and friends that will help you when the disappointments come and lean on the Most High. Prayer changes things and He is always failthful!

There are several of us that have started down the road of detoxifying our bodies and along with this great change in our lives, it can sometimes be a problem if we don’t know enough about how these lifestyle changes will effect us. If our bodies are not equipped to help the toxins to exit properly, these toxins can stay and make us feel worse, which is the opposite of our goal.
For example, most people will think in order to lose weight, we must avoid fat, however, some of us are awakening to the fact that all fats are not equal. Up until a year ago, I was unknowingly using Sunflower oil for cooking, baking and sometimes on my salads as a cheaper alternative to olive oil. I saved the olive oil for special meals and salads only. What a huge mistake. I may have contributed to problems in my health because most seed oils are potentially high in Omega 6 oil which is known to cause inflammation in the body and lead to liver problems. We of course are finding now the importance of fats high in Omega 3 such as olive oil, flaxseed oil, cod liver oil. Research is showing also that using butter from grass fed cows is much better for our health than many other fats as well; all in moderation of course.
Why is bile so important, especially as we detox
One of the very important functions of bile that bile salts help with is the removal of toxins in our bodies. Toxins are secreted into the bile and eliminated in feces. If we don’t have enough bile salts this can lead to toxic build up in the body. Now can you see how a “low fat” diet can lead to problems? Sounds good but we must have the healthy fats so that we can provide what the liver needs to make bile as well as what we need to absorb the fat soluble vitamins. Bile also helps in mediating microbial activity within the microbiome.
Symptoms that you may be low on bile
Often you can suspect that you have bile deficiency when you have difficulty with fat digestion, as well as when you experience few of the below described symptoms at the same time:
Your stomach area feels tight
Indigestion
Bloating
Difficulty having a bowel movement
Upper right side pain under the rib cage
You may experience nausea after eating foods high in fat
Difficult to flush down floating stools in your toilet
Pale, yellowish colored stools
Weight gain that is unexpected
Tired
Deficient in the fat soluble vitamins for example, A, D, E and K which can lead to adverse symptoms within the body
Jaundice (yellow eyes and skin)
Gallstones
So how can we naturally increase the bile? Check out this short video by Dr. Berg
Dr. Eric Berg “10 Things That Increase Bile Salts” You Tube
Also just a reminder to consult your health care provider about any changes that you make. There are a few conditions in which one should not take bile salts:
Diarrhea
Hyperthyroidism
Bile Malabsorption Illnesses such as: Crohn’s Disease, Celiac’s Disease, SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)

Combating the aging process requires much effort, especially in our current times. With so many ways for toxins to enter our bodies and stay, we need to constantly educate ourselves on how to continuously put what’s healthy in and on our bodies first and foremost. We inevitably will ingest, inhale, absorb some type of toxins in our systems and for this reason, we need to know how to minimize and rid ourselves of these dangers.
Take a look at this brief video by YouTuber Dr. Mandell, DC or better known as ”motivationaldoc”. He shares some vital information about our kidney health and a tasty drink recipe for detoxifying the kidneys for optimal kidney health.
1 Cup Will Tell Your Kidneys to Never Give up by Dr. Alan Mandell, DC
Check out this drink recipe that he recommends to drink daily in the morning on an empty stomach and if you wish again in the evening on an empty stomach
Lemons are rich in vitamin C which is used for so many things in the body and is a strong antioxidant, rich in soluble fiber, rich in potassium that helps to reduce blood pressure, and plant compounds that give them a number of health benefits. Lemons may help in weight loss and reduce your risk of heart disease, anemia, kidney stones, digestive issues, and cancer.
