<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-weight: normal;">'Tis the season of gift giving, family gatherings, and of course the feasts of good and plenty. It seems that the winter <span class="" id="misspell-1">season's</span> festivities have become or perhaps have always been the perfect justification for <span class="" id="misspell-1">senselessly</span> gorging on the <span class="" id="misspell-2">smorgasbord</span> of fatty meats, candied carbs, and flavored <span class="" id="misspell-3">alcohols</span>. That being said, one could assume that January is a very popular month for dieting and detox.. and they'd be right.  </span></h4>

<h4>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Now, this blog is not about whether or not January is an appropriate time of the year for dieting, fasting, or detoxing. This, is to help prepare for and or aid in the process. Below are some products we carry and recommend for a winter diet and detox. Remember that raw fruits and <span class="" id="misspell-2">vegetables</span> can be eaten during most fasts when needed to help ease the process.</span> </span></h4>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">EveryDay Detox® is an herbal tea used to promote healthy liver function.* The use of herbs in EveryDay Detox® for liver protection is supported by pharmacological data and traditional use. Both licorice root and schisandra fruit have demonstrated significant liver protective action in various test models. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), chicory root is used to remove heat from the liver, stimulate bile secretion, and promote digestion. Lycium fruit (aka gou qi zi or goji berry) acts to reinforce the liver and the kidney.*</span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Many people do not realize the ramifications of a poor diet, the processing and pasteurization of foods, the use of pesticides and insecticides and other harmful things we do and use in our everyday lives. The ABC Max Bulk Cleanse and the ABC Max Herbal Cleanse were specially designed with these things in mind.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Our entire body is polluted every day, not only with the things that we eat and drink, but also with the air that we breathe--There is less oxygen in the air and an increasing amount of pollutants. How can we not be prone to disease and illness when everything we consume, including our air, contains harmful contaminants? Action must be taken!!! Obviously we can not change the air we breathe or stop the use of pesticides - at least not at this moment and not alone. But we can eat a well balanced diet full of fresh fruit, vegetables, and grains and we can also utilize products such as the ABC Max Bulk Cleanse and Herbal Cleanse to help clean not only our colon and intestines, but also our blood and lymph systems. Some people may not know that their blood can get dirty - but it may be. The toxins contained in the air and what we consume enter the blood stream and can harm the body if not excreted. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">The ABC Max Bulk Cleanse and the ABC Max Herbal Cleanse were initially designed to be used together as the 45-Day Colon Cleanse Kit, but they can be used independent of one another. Each product will provide enormous benefits on its own. Note the benefits of each of the herbs contained in the products. Used together in the Kit, the two products complement one other. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #2f2f2f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">The ABC Max Bulk Cleanse works to break up hardened fecal matter and rid the body of harmful bacteria that has built up in the digestive tract. It also contains a number of herbs which aid the body in cleaning the blood and the lymph system by flushing out the toxins.</span></span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Top officials from the United Nations and the Andean community of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru today launched the International Year of Quinoa to raise awareness of the nutritional, economic, environmental and cultural value of a food that has been traditionally cultivated for thousands of years.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I hope this International Year will be a catalyst for learning about the potential of quinoa for food and nutrition security, for reducing poverty, especially among the world's small farmers and for environmentally sustainable agriculture," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said at the launch at UN Headquarters.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Calling it extraordinary and a cultural anchor in the Andes, Mr. Ban noted that quinoa contains all the essential amino acids, trace elements and vitamins, but no gluten.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The small crop is widely adaptable, thriving in temperatures ranging from -8 degrees Celsius to 38 degrees Celsius, at sea level or 4,000 meters above, and is not impacted by low moisture.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #454545; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This versatility makes quinoa a viable food option for areas with arid farming conditions and high malnutrition rates. FAO estimates that 1 billion people were affected by malnutrition in 2010, nearly all living in the developing world.</span></div>

Quinoa is a grain-like crop grown primarily for its edible seeds and is closely related to species such as beets, spinach and tumbleweeds. The nutrient composition is very good compared with common cereals.</div>

Quinoa seeds contain essential amino acids like lysine and good quantities of calcium, phosphorus, and iron. After harvest, the seeds need to be processed to remove the coating containing the bitter-tasting saponins. Quinoa seeds are in general cooked the same way as rice and can be used in a wide range of dishes.</div>
