Mama Said, "Take Out the Trash"

Do you have a “junk drawer” at home collecting useless items?

 

Your body also collects junk. This “junk” comes from the air you breathe, the water you drink and the foods you eat. It includes pesticides, heavy metals, chemicals, caffeine, pollution and preservatives.

 

It is the job of the kidneys, lungs, intestines, lymphatic system, colon and skin to filter this “junk,” or toxins, from the body. However, massive toxic exposure from today’s unhealthy diets, poor quality water, household cleaners and cosmetics makes it difficult for these systems to keep the body clean. The resulting toxic overload contributes to sluggishness, allergies, weight gain, fatigue, food cravings and mental fog.

 

To obtain optimal health, it is important to reduce this environmental “attack” on our bodies. We change our car’s air filter, oil filter and fuel filter to help it run optimally, but how can we help our bodies run optimally? Here are ways to help you “take out the trash:”

 

Manual Lymph Drainage Therapy

The lymphatic system, known as the “sewage system” of the body, removes bacteria, toxins and certain proteins from muscle tissues through a series of vessels and nodes located throughout the body to improve the metabolic environment for the body’s cells.

However, when proper lymph drainage does not occur, cells cannot receive nourishment, causing more toxic exposure and disease. To ensure proper lymph drainage, it is crucial to regularly do deep breathing, exercise and get lymph massage.

 

Manual lymph drainage (MLD) massage is one of the oldest treatments effective in removing toxins and cleansing tissues. The effects of MLD have been researched and studied by scientists and doctors for years. MLD calms the nervous system, helps to support the immune system, reduces swelling, helps to heal burns and decongests the tissues.

 

Colon Hydrotherapy

 

Constipation occurs when the transit time of toxic waste is slow. The longer the transit time the longer toxic waste sits in the bowels, which allows them to putrify, ferment and possibly be reabsorbed into the body. A toxic bowel can lead to disease. Colon hydrotherapy is a safe and effective method to detoxify the body by helping it eliminate waste in a safe, gentle and efficient manner.

 

Detoxification Program

Proven throughout history for physical, mental and spiritual rejuvenation, a regular cleansing program promotes healing; helps normalize weight, blood pressure and cholesterol; rebuilds the immune system and gives our bodies a physiological rest.

 

Infrared Sauna and Ionic Footbaths are also effective adjuncts to any detoxification program. The infrared sauna is more beneficial than conventional saunas as its dry heat produces more sweat as well as helps reduce pain and increase circulation.

 

Benefits of Cleansing

 

• Increased Energy
• Sharper Focus & Concentration
• Improved Memory
• Stabilized Mood Swings
• Better Digestion
• Stronger Immunity
• Reduced Congestion
• Better Appearance

 

Recipe for Optimal Health

 

To achieve optimal health, eat foods that are whole, pure and “alive” by adding more greens and raw, organic foods to your diet. Eating foods rich in enzymes will optimize digestion and elimination. Eliminate refined processed foods from your diet as they are “dead” and slow down elimination. Incorporate a regular cleansing program for renewed vitality and improved health. Lastly, laugh daily and surround yourself with positive people.

Top 10 Reasons to Eat Sprouts

1. They are biogenic, meaning they are alive and capable of transferring their life energy to your body.

2. They contain essential vitamins, proteins and minerals in their purest natural forms.

3. They provide the highest quality proteins, which are easy for the body to use, are low in fat and contain no saturated fat or cholesterol.

4. They provide a good source of fiber, which stimulates the body's internal self-cleansing abilities.

5. They slow the aging process as they are an excellent source of anti-oxidants.

6. They contain enzymes which aid in digestion and convert starches into sugars, protein into amino acids, and fats into fatty acids. Enzymes are destroyed in cooked food. When live enzymes are available, the body doesn't store unnecessary vitamin and mineral supplements.

7. They can provide you with a fresh garden in your kitchen when none other is available. Seeds can be stored economically for long periods of time with the potential of many times their weight in fresh produce.

8. They are simple, easy and fast to grow. You can have fresh sprouts in 2 to 4 days instead of 30 to 90 days needed to grow most vegetables.

9. They can be eaten alone, or in salads, sandwiches, soups, stir fry, pancakes, bread or just about anything.

10. They are the missing link to daily nutrition and home food storage programs.

15 Guidelines for a Healthy Body Today!

Do you suffer from two or more of the following symptoms?

• Wake up tired

• Feeling tired all the time

• Inability to think clearly

• Loss of sexual vigor or interest

• Feel lethargic

• Feel bloated and swollen

• Feeling stressed

• Recent weight gain



Now answer these questions:

• Do you have enthusiasm for life?

• Would you like to feel more positive, happy and confident?

• Would you like to feel vibrant and have more energy?

• Would you like to have a strong immune system?

We all have the power to improve our health and have a better quality of life. In fact, we make choices every day that contribute to the way we feel. The foods we eat are crucial to our overall well-being so our health depends on the kinds of food choices we make. Food can either be your medicine to help build your body up or it can be your poison and contribute to tearing your body down. Unfortunately, so much of the food we eat is nutritionally deficient. And as they say, we are what we eat, assimilate and eliminate.

Also, our thoughts are powerful enough to affect the way our day will go. It is important to think positive thoughts and direct our attention to what we would like to manifest into our lives, rather than focus on what is wrong or what we do not have in our lives. Being consumed with negative thoughts or having chronically high stress levels also affects our body, our health and our overall well-being.

15 Guidelines to Help You Maintain and Improve Your Health Today:

1.  Eat Vegetables, Fruits, Legumes, and Whole Grains

Vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains are the best foods to nourish your brain, build immunity and improve your health. Vegetables are also abundant in antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fiber that strengthen the immune system thereby contributing to your health and vitality.

2.  Eat Good Quality Lean Protein

Protein should contribute to about 25% of your diet. Quality choices are lean poultry, fish, eggs, yogurt, beans, tofu and grains.

3. Consume Healthy Fats

Omega-3 essential fatty acids (EFA’s), found in cold-water fish, salmon, trout, mackerel and flaxseed have been shown to support breast and colon health as well as healthy blood cholesterol levels. Flax seeds are also an excellent source of fiber to support your colon and maintain regularity.

4.  Avoid Bad Fats

Animal fats, hydrogenated fats, and processed oils do not do the body good!

5.  Eliminate Refined Carbohydrates

Sugar, processed foods and refined carbohydrates rob the body of nutrients, contributing to a sluggish system and a lack of energy.


6.  Juice Daily

Prepare organic vegetable juices on a daily basis. Juicing helps gives you an amazing source of energy and stamina and helps to prevent disease. Freshly squeezed juice provides "live" nutrients and enzymes, which boosts your energy and helps to digest food properly.

7.  Reduce or Eliminate Caffeine

Reduce the caffeine in your daily regimen. Caffeine is a stimulant that triggers the “fight-or-flight” response to stress and overwork the adrenal glands that govern the stress hormone cortisol. It is best to avoid coffee, tea, cola, chocolate and other foods and beverages containing caffeine as its consumption provides a false sense of energy.

8.  Drink Water

It is important to drink about 6-10 glasses of good drinking water daily. Water is necessary to hydrate the body to help metabolism, promote good digestion, keep the skin in good condition and energize the body.

9.  Exercise Regularly

Regular exercise is a fundamental part of any healthy lifestyle. It is important to exercise at least four times a week, for 30-45 minutes and work up a sweat. This will support the proper functioning of your heart and cardiovascular system, digestion and elimination, strengthening the bones and builds lean muscle mass which increases metabolism and keeps the body at a healthier weight. Regular exercise will also provide you renewed energy and endurance.

10.  Meditate

To reduce stress, meditate, do yoga or Tai Chi or deep relaxation exercises for 20 minutes a day to center the mind, lower your blood pressure and boost your immunity.

11.  Get Regular Massage

Massage is proven to reduce stress and tension by releasing endorphins which flood your body promoting relaxation.

12.  Breathe Right

Good health and vitality is increased with breath work. Most of us breathe with only 10% of our lungs. Breath work will help to enhance your sense of inner peace.

13.  Take Time Out for Yourself

Remember that you are the most important person and that you deserve to be taken care of. Take time out of every day to do something pleasurable for yourself. Read a book, walk by the ocean or garden.

14.  Find Humor in Life

A good laugh triggers the release of endorphins, chemicals in the brain that produce feelings of euphoria. It also suppresses the production of cortisol, a hormone released when you're under stress that indirectly raises blood pressure by causing your body to retain salt. So try to find humor in daily life.

15.  Visualize Prosperity

Truly believe and feel that you are going to have an incredible day. You will be surprised how you will manifest this thought!

Follow these simple guidelines and you will increase the quality of your life. Remember that Health and Vitality is a daily choice!
