2021 Best Radiation Blocking Cell Phone Cases

Michael — Tue, 12 Jan 2021 12:00:43 +0000

[toc]My grandfather lived well into his 90’s. Physically, he was in excellent shape ’til even the end. In his mid 80’s, he rode major roller coasters and The Power Tower with me at Cedar Point. He had the strength of a horse and plenty of endurance. But eventually, he succumbed to Alzheimer’s. It takes just one hand to count how many times I saw him sip a drink during the two decades we shared together on earth. He never smoked, […]

Review: Mustard Bath Recipes Don’t Detox, But They Do This

Superfoodly — Mon, 07 Dec 2020 12:00:04 +0000

[toc]No, we are not talking about the street drug of the same name. Using real bath salts for soaking in the tub after a long day is as popular now as it was hundreds of years ago. Their history Therapeutic soaking baths date back to the Biblical days, though the “new” recipe of using Epsom salt has been around since the 17th century. That’s when a certain mineral salt containing magnesium, sulfur and oxygen (MgSO4) was discovered, in the town […]

Benefits of Algae Oil For Cooking vs. Olive Oil & Avocado

Superfoodly — Mon, 26 Oct 2020 12:00:51 +0000

[toc]It’s been said that back during the hunter-gatherer days, humans consumed omega 6’s and 3’s in an estimated ratio of 1:1. Today, the average American diet is more like a 15:1 or 16:1. In other words, we are eating 15-16x more omega 6 fats. (1) The solution may seem simple. Why not switch out cooking oils for those rich in omega 3, like flax and walnut? The problem is that omega 3 fatty acids are not heat stable. Even with […]

10 Frankincense Oil Uses & Bizarre Benefits

Superfoodly — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 12:00:29 +0000

[toc]What is it used for? The Christian meaning or history of it may be the first thing which comes to mind. Especially around Christmas. It was not in the form of oil, but “gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh” were what was presented by the wise men (magi) sometime after the birth of Jesus. While the reasons for these three specific gifts are not listed in the texts, they each have deep symbolic meanings elsewhere in the Bible. In the […]

24 Patchouli Oil Uses & Latest Studies

Superfoodly — Wed, 02 Sep 2020 12:00:42 +0000

[toc]Patchouli and hippies go together like bread and butter. Rumor has it that the reason this essential oil was so popular in the 60’s was because it could cover-up the smell of marijuana. If you actually talk to people from that generation, you get a different reason. The reason those dirty hippies loved the smell was because it was something new. Not their mother’s stale perfume or the Old Spice cologne their father was wearing. They wanted their own scent. […]

Do Antibacterial Towels Like Norwex BacLock Work Safely?

Superfoodly — Tue, 18 Aug 2020 12:00:30 +0000

[toc]When it comes to the food we put in our mouths and the products we put on our skin, we spend so much time and money obsessing over how pure they are. Yet when it comes to the surfaces used to clean and apply them, we give little thought. Whether it’s the kitchen towels used to dry your produce, or the bath towel used to dry your skin, not much thinking goes into them. Even if your lettuce is thoroughly […]

12 Benefits of Lemon Verbena Tea and Essential Oil

Superfoodly — Fri, 10 Jul 2020 13:04:58 +0000

[toc] Are lemon balm and lemon verbena the same thing? No. Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis) is part of the mint family and native to southern Europe. Lemon verbena (Aloysia citrodora) comes from a totally different family and its native habitat is on the other side of the world, in western South America. The only thing they have in common is a lemony-citrus scent when their leaves are rubbed. Lemongrass (Cymbopogon) is entirely different from both of those. It’s understandable why […]

ORAC Values of 72 Essential Oils

Superfoodly — Mon, 29 Jun 2020 12:00:53 +0000

[toc]Do essential oils have antioxidants? What is the ORAC value of clove essential oil? We receive questions like those all the time. Being that we have the leading database of food values, people are curious why as why we don’t have these listed, which are used for aromatherapy and herbal remedies. The fact that they are just that – and not food – is the very reason we don’t include them in our list. But that doesn’t mean we dislike […]

Best Bluetooth Wireless Air Tube Headset For Safety

Superfoodly — Tue, 23 Jun 2020 17:56:30 +0000

[toc]Is holding your phone next to your head really dangerous or just a conspiracy theory? If you think the latter, then read: Do cell phones cause cancer? If you’re already in the camp that yes, there is compelling evidence pointing to radiation from cell phones and WiFi being unsafe, then you’re in good company. That’s not just our opinion, but also with the World Health Organization. They rank electromagnetic fields as a Group 2B carcinogen, meaning it’s possibly carcinogenic. Of […]

Top 5 Essential Oils For Depression (Plus 1 That Causes It)

Superfoodly — Sat, 20 Jun 2020 12:00:37 +0000

[toc]To be clear, aromatherapy is not a substitute for medical treatment by a mental health professional. Clinical depression is a serious disease and it’s important to follow whatever treatment plan you have chosen with them. In addition to that, it’s always a good idea to have things in your life that make you happy or at the very least, put you in a better mood. Likewise for all of us. You might not have severe depression or any clinical form, […]
