 Various
complex biochemical reactions take place within the
body, which lead to production of waste products that
must be eliminated from the body. Detoxification is
carried out by enzymes produced from the information
stored within our genes. They help the body by cleaning
out the toxins that have been absorbed, by passing them
out from your skin, liver and kidneys, which act as
cleansing filters. To learn more, read this weeks

 If
you want to get stronger without gaining much muscle
mass, then use a range between 1 to 3 reps where you
reach muscular failure in that range. Alternatively, if
you use a rep range of 15 or more reps per set, you will
build muscular endurance and very little muscle mass.
Exercises such as squats, lunges, leg curls,
stiff-legged deadlifts, leg extensions, and calf raises
are all excellent for toning your legs

Keep Moving
 Did
you know that Abraham Lincoln had two business ventures
fail, lost 8 different elections and had a complete
nervous breakdown before becoming president in 1816? His
story is a great inspirational confidence story in that
he shows how if you just keep moving towards your dream,
you will eventually make it.
Abraham Lincoln overcame great setbacks and obstacles on
his journey to become President of the United States.
There is more to life than you have found thus far. This
is not the end; it is only the beginning. “Keep moving.”
When we approach life with this attitude, we look
forward to the future and what God has in store for us.

Directions:
Pancakes
-
In medium bowl, combine flours, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, whisking to blend.
In another bowl, beat eggs. Add buttermilk, cider, melted butter and oil. Pour liquid ingredients into dry, mixing just to blend – better to leave some lumps than to over mix. Gently mix in pumpkin, leaving mixture slightly streaky to avoid over mixing.
-
Heat heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until drops of water flicked onto surface ball and dance. Using paper towel, lightly rub surface with just enough butter to make it glisten. Pour 3 tablespoons batter into skillet, then lift pan and swirl to make a 3- to 4-inch disk. Repeat, leaving 1 inch between pancakes. Cook until surface looks dull and peppered with tiny holes, about 2 minutes. Gently push dried fruit or pieces of apple into place to make eyes, nose and mouth. When pancakes are medium-dark on bottom, 2 to 3 minutes, carefully turn using wide pancake turner. Cook for 2 minutes. Flip pancakes back to first side to get firmer on the bottom. Transfer to warm platter. Repeat, making 12 pancakes.
Note: If using chocolate chips, set them in place after turning the pancakes back face-side up
Syrup
-
In heavy, medium saucepan, combine cider, cinnamon and cloves. Boil until reduced to 1/2 cup, about 20 minutes. Remove cinnamon and cloves; add maple syrup. Pour warm syrup into serving pitcher to pass with pancakes, waffles, French toast or bread pudding. Cooled, it is also good over oatmeal or Greek yogurt.

Various complex biochemical reactions taking
place within the body lead to production of
waste products that must be eliminated from the
body. Adding up to this, the environment also
contains harmful substances that we inhale or
swallow and must get rid off. Sometimes the
medication we take to do us good need to be
cleared from our system before they accumulate
and do us harm. The general term given to this
process is called "Detoxification". It is
necessary in some cases to build up a person's
energy and nutrients before
starting an intensive detoxification treatment
for it might send them "over the edge".
