10 Things We All Need To Know About Our Blood Type!

Hello everyone, how are you today? We all know that a healthy lifestyle and a proper nutrition, loaded with lots of raw fruits and vegetables, is extremely important for us and our health in general! But, did you know that your blood type has an important role for your health and body as well? I think that we all know that there are four blood types: A, B, AB, O and our blood type forms while we are still in the womb, which means that you can't change it in any way later in life. You should also know that many experts around the world claim that each blood type has unique characteristics which can affect weight loss, certain diseases, and even the personality. And yes, the most important thing – knowing the characteristics of a specific blood type can aid in planning the adequate nutrition which will improve your health.

BLOOD TYPE AND NUTRITION

Here's what you need to know – a chemical reaction happens in our bodies (during the entire day) and the blood type can be crucial when it comes to digestion or weight loss. You can take this for example – it's highly recommended that people with blood type O consume foods high in protein, such as: meat and fish! People with blood type A does not require meal consumption at all, because vegetables are more suitable for them. And, people with blood type B should avoid chicken and consume more red meat! And finally, people with blood type AB will benefit from sea foods and lean meat.

BLOOD TYPE AND DISEASES

Here's what you need to know – well, mostly because of the different formation of antigens on the surface of red blood cells, every blood type is different. Moreover, this is why every blood group is resistant to one type of disease, while being susceptive to some other type. So, knowing the characteristics of blood types can aid in prevention of specific diseases.

BLOOD TYPE AND PERSONALITY

Can I ask you a simple question – did you know that your blood type can affect your personality? Well, of course and you can take this for example – people with blood type O are considered as extraverts, creative, social, and confident. While, people with blood type A are peaceful, artistically-minded, and trustworthy. People who are dedicated to their goals, strong, and are independent are usually people with blood type B. And finally, people with blood type AB are reliable, shy, responsible, and like to take care of others. What do you think? Share your thoughts in the comment section below!

BLOOD TYPE AND PREGNANCY

The medical experts also say that women with a specific blood type group have bigger chances of getting pregnant than other types. Moreover, women with AB blood type produce less follicle stimulating hormone which helps women to conceive more easily.

BLOOD TYPE AND STRESS SUSCEPTIBILITY

Yes, you will be amazed when we tell you that stress tolerance also depends on the blood type. How this works – well, the experts say that blood type A produces more Cortisol-stress hormone. If you have met someone who easily gets furious, it is probably a person with blood type O. Moreover, they have a higher level of adrenalin and need more time to recuperate from stressful situations.

BLOOD ANTIGENS

Did you know that blood antigens are not only present in the blood, but also in the digestive tract, from the mouth to the colon, and even in the nostrils and lungs?

BLOOD TYPE AND ABDOMEN

Yes, you got that right! Some people do not have to worry about their belly fat! Why – because their blood type will help them and this won't be a problem for them. People with blood type A digest carbohydrates easily, so these people rarely have belly fat. On the other hand, due to more difficult digestion of carbohydrates, people with blood type O are more prone to belly fat.

BLOOD TYPE AND MARRIAGE

Here's what you need to do – well, before you get married, make sure you check your partner's blood type group! Why – because, when it comes to having children, some blood types should not get mixed. For example, people with A and B blood type should not mix. According to the RH factor, RH+ and RH- should not be mixed. Due to this reason, a lot of states require couples, who intend to get married, to do a blood test first.

BLOOD TYPE AND EXERCISE

As we said, people with blood type A are more prone to stress, which means that they have to do some relaxing and calming exercises! Yoga and meditation are highly recommended for these people. And, people with blood type B like challenges for their body and spirit, so they tend to perform activities for balance of these two such as tennis, mountain climbing, and martial arts.

BLOOD TYPE AND EMERGENCIES

Many experts around the world say that you should always carry some kind of information on you, such as: your name, surname, address, phone number, and blood type with you. In case of an accident, and you are in a hospital, most probably, you will need a blood transfusion. Considering the fact that blood can only be accepted from those blood types that are compatible with yours, information about your blood type can be crucial in such moments. We really hope you enjoyed this article and don't forget to share it with you friends and family members. Thank You and take care!

Shilajit: What You Need to Know About it's Legendary Benefits


Shilajit: The Ancient Yogic Superfood That Rebuilds Your Body

BY JUSTIN FAERMAN

Treasures may be found everywhere for those who have eyes to see—a perfect example of this being Shilajit, one of the most prized medicines throughout Asia for the last few thousand years. In its "wild habitat" you could be forgiven for simply thinking that it was a tar-like substance

oozing from the cracks in between rocks high up in the Himalayan Mountains. And the locals did for many thousands of years; however, in ancient times one had to look for clues from nature to better understand their natural habitat—particularly what was safe and what was poison. Upon seeing packs of native chimps snacking on the Shilajit tar and further observing that those who did seemed to be the strongest, most intelligent and long-lived of the bunch, the indigenous people began ingesting the night-black mineral pitch themselves. When they too began experiencing the benefits:—a rapid restoration of their health and enhanced cognitive and physical abilities—they knew they had stumbled on a great discovery.

Oral tradition has it that this is how Shilajit was originally discovered. Maybe so, maybe not, but either way decades of intense scientific analysis and study have revealed that Shilajit is one of the most nutrient-dense substances on the planet. And what's more, is that the nutrients it contains, such as naturally occurring humic and fulvic acids—two of nature's most potent detoxifiers of heavy metals and other pollutants that disrupt the natural function of the body, and are quite rare to boot.

Known euphemistically as the "destroyer of weakness," much can be learned about the incredible properties and benefits of Shilajit by understanding the process of how it is created. Over the course of millions of years, the lush primeval vegetation that once blanketed Asia was decomposed by the forces of nature, eventually becoming highly compacted under the weight of the mountains, which later formed as continental plates collided. Over 6,500 different species of ancient plants spent many millennia in a sort of geological alchemy that created a thick, black, resin-like substance trapped deep within the Himalyan, Caucasus, and other famous mountain ranges in the region. The relentless monsoons and ever-increasing pressure eventually caused this "tar" to begin seeping from cracks in rocks in the sides of the mountains.

"Intense scientific analysis and study have revealed that Shilajit is one of the most nutrient-dense substances on the planet."

Laboratory analysis of Shilajit reveals a complete spectrum of every essential mineral on the planet in ionic form—the most easily absorbable and assimilated by the human body. Scientists also found amino acids, fulvic and humic acids, ellagic acid, fatty acids and plant sterols, which tend to have a harmonizing effect on the hormonal/endocrine system, among many others.

Although shamans and medicine men of the time could not possibly have understood its complex and unusual composition, they could easily discern the beneficial effects Shilajit was having on the people they treated, which was a massive restoration of health and wellbeing.

The Benefits of Shilajit

Shilajit acts on many different systems in the body, earning it a place among the prized natural medicines known as adaptogens, meaning it helps to restore balance to one's system, whether that is through reducing excess (stress and cortisol, for example) or nourishing deficiencies (promoting sound sleep and giving endurance, strength and stamina) within the body's various systems.

One of the primary ways it does this is through its action on the endocrine system. As the master controllers of the body's thousands of delicately tuned processes, hormones—or the lack thereof—have a very large influence on your health. They control mood, libido, sleep-wake cycles, hair growth, cognition, energy, consciousness and much more. Therefore it should come as no surprise that Shilajit has long been valued for its ability to restore sexual function, promote cognitive abilities, reduce anxiety and stress, improve mood and generally extend one's lifespan. Quite impressive, to be sure.

However, Shilajit's beneficial medicinal properties are not solely limited to the endocrine system. It has also been shown to reduce pain and inflammation, making it one of the most sought after remedies for those suffering from arthritis. It also has a healing effect on the digestive tract, with the notable ability to repair ulcerated intestines and keep harmful bacteria in check.

And, of course, it is also a great remineralizer and detoxifier, removing heavy metals and replacing them with those the body needs for health and wellbeing. It has also been used to treat allergies, malnutrition, anemia, and broken bones. It's kind of like water: life is just better when you consume it regularly.

Selecting Quality Shilajit

Shilajit can be found seeping wildly in many mountain ranges across Asia, although each culture tends to have its own name for the substance. In Western and Central Asia it is typically referred to as Moomiyo, but in the areas in and around the Himalayas, it is referred to as Shilajit. While this may seem semantical, it is an important distinction due to the fact that, depending on the source, Shilajit/Moomiyo will have different compositions. Generally speaking, the best quality Shilajit is believed to originate from the Himalaya area.

shilajit is harvested in remote regions of the himalayan mountains.

However, because Shilajit is somewhat rare and difficult to collect, as well as the fact that the world's supply originates in developing countries, the quality varies widely in the products currently available through various health food stores and websites worldwide.

The most sought after and rare form is the night-black mineral resin, with only a handful of companies selling it worldwide. It is a sticky, wet-looking "tar" that is an intensely concentrated and purified form of Shilajit. It can be pricey, although a little goes a long way, making even a small amount last for months, even at higher dosages.

That being said, there are many excellent, more affordable Shilajit products that come in a powdered form—though they will generally be slightly less concentrated and potent than the pure resin. The primary benefits of the powder are the ease of use, price, and the ability to measure precise amounts, if needed, as the resin itself is quite sticky.

When using a powder discernment is needed, as not all brands are equal. (In the section that follows we recommend some high quality, potent and high integrity Shilajit powders that are not adulterated). The vast majority of products available worldwide are actually diluted Shilajit powders. Pure Shilajit resin is composed of approximately 2% to 10% naturally occurring humic and fulvic acids with the remaining portion composed of minerals and other medicinal substances. However, adulterated products are typically 10% to 30% actual Shilajit powder and about 70% to 90% extracted humic and fulvic acids, which can be produced cheaply in a lab and added afterwards. While not dangerous, the adulterated Shilajit powders do not posses the same powerful medicinal properties.

Authentic, quality Shilajit always has a distinct, strong piercing tar-like odor that is unmistakable. If the product you have does not have a noticeably intense smell or seems 'faint', then it is likely old or diluted Shilajit.

Shilajit is not grown like most herbs and foods, so there are no organic or conventional distinctions. If authentic and unadulterated, Shilajit is wildcrafted, which is truly what lends it such incredible healing properties.

For every pleasing thing, there is an unpleasing counterpart....

For every pleasing thing, there is an unpleasing counterpart, for within every particle of the Universe is that which is wanted as well as the lack of that which is wanted. 
When you focus upon an unwanted aspect of something in an effort to push it away from you, it only comes closer, because you get what you give your attention to whether it is something that you want or not. 
It is up to you to focus upon and attract what is wanted.

Making a Custom Liquid Latex Glove

Making a Custom Liquid Latex Glove

Making a Custom Liquid Latex Glove

There are two typical methods of making a latex glove (or other liquid latex items) at home: make the glove directly on your own arm, or create a 'mold' of your arm, and then create a glove on the mold. In either case, be sure to take appropriate skin preparations prior to applying the latex, or mold material, to your arm.

To make a glove directly on your own arm:

It is always best to have another person assist you when making a latex glove. Remember, during the process, one of your arms will be immobilized, and unable to assist you.

Pour the Liquid Latex Body Cosmetic into a plastic or stainless steel bowl.

You must let the latex product 'breathe' for awhile so that most of the ammonia ingredient can evaporate.

Dip your fingers slowly into the bowl from the sides, lifting your hand above the pool of latex to let any excess fluid drip easily back into the mix.

Smooth the latex using a foam brush (not bristle), or stroke it with your fingertips to make a nice even coat.

Continue to brush, or dispense, liquid latex in a series of coatings so as to achieve the final thickness that you want.

Spread your fingers apart slowly, but do not bend or fold your hand.

Wherever there is a folding of skin, the latex coatings will tend to stick to each other, and form a weak spot in that area.

Let the latex glove 'air dry', or use a hair dryer set on low or medium heat (not high).

Be sure to hold your hands in an upward direction during the curing process.

The latex will start to dry, and darken, and then turn shiny in appearance.

Typically, there will be some noticeable 'thick spots'.

Be patient until the entire surface coating becomes shiny and dark. At that point, the latex will be cured enough to touch with your fingertips - but it will also still stick to itself, so be sure to keep the rubberized surfaces away from each other, particularly between the fingers.

Now, do a second coating of the arm in the same way.

If you want to have a reusable glove, then do several coats (usually 3-5 coats).

When you have completed the last desired coating, and it has fully cured (dark and shiny appearance), spray your arm with a compound like Liquid Latex Ultra Shine latex preservative. This will keep the fingers from sticking together (unless you plan to get into a theatrical or bondage scene, in which case the rubber sticking together can have other interesting uses)

The longer you leave the latex on your arm, the more complete will be the cure, and the more perfect will be the final glove.

The glove material will begin loosening itself from your skin after three or four hours.

You may actually remove the glove as soon as you have finished this process, but it will be better to leave it on a bit longer. Some people leave their custom gloves on overnight, or even several days.

To remove the glove, start rolling the edge on the upper arm or top/wrist, and begin pulling toward your fingertips. If you have made your creation thick enough, it will easily come off as a reusable custom glove.

Some dye residue from the liquid latex may still remain on your arm if the rubber is not totally dry, but this can be easily washed off with mild soap and warm water.

You can use the clear (natural) latex first, and then the colored latex on subsequent coatings.

Of course, it is recommended that any part of your body to be dipped into the liquid latex is reasonably free of hair first.

To make a glove (or hood, or...) from a plaster casting:

We will not cover "plaster casting" or "mold making" in detail in this website because the processes are clearly explained in numerous books and other resources on the Internet.  Basically, it involves making a plaster casting of the particular body part that you want to mold with latex.  If you've already created a solid, positive casting of your hand, then:

Warm the plaster casting in an oven to about 110 degrees Fahrenheit, and then (carefully) dip the pre-warmed casting into a container of Liquid Latex Body Cosmetic.

The plaster of the casting will absorb the liquid quickly, and the glove will begin to cure rapidly due to the casting's warmth.

After the initial latex application is dry, additional coats of liquid latex can be applied, but don't put your coated plaster cast back into the oven with latex on it - the heat from the oven will cause the latex film to bubble & distort. However, using a hair blow dryer at low or medium heat is still acceptable to quickly cure the latex coatings.

Continue to follow the glove-making process described above.

With this process, you can even use Liquid Latex Body Cosmetic to mass-produce your own finished latex goods…..getting wild color combinations not previously possible from standard store-brand products!
