COPING DURING CHAOS
Health Tip: Revitalize Your Energy and Well-being
If you’re feeling sluggish, lacking energy, or have lost your zest for life, it might be time to consider whether something is missing in your body. Have you thought about cleansing your body, mind, and spirit through a supervised water or juice fast?
In today’s world, health and safety are top concerns for all of us. That’s why I’m sharing tips on how to create, attain, and maintain Awesome Health during these stressful times!
The Importance of Clean Air
First and foremost, we need clean air to breathe and build strong lungs. Unfortunately, our environment is often filled with smoke and pollution, which affects the air quality even inside our homes. In fact, indoor air quality can be worse than outdoor air. To help purify your indoor air, improve sleep, and eliminate odors, consider adding these houseplants to your home:
- Spider Plant
- Snake Plant
- Aloe Vera
- English Ivy
- Dragon Tree
- Weeping Fig
- Chinese Evergreen
- Peace Lily
Super Greens for Strong Immunity
Super greens are essential for building strong immunity, bones, teeth, hair, and nails. They help keep the body energetic and full of vitality by providing the vitamins and minerals necessary to manage stress and cope under difficult situations. Incorporate these greens into your diet:
- Spinach
- Romaine Lettuce
- Kale
- Beet Greens
- Arugula
- Collards
- Chard
- Microgreens and all sprouts (e.g., Broccoli, Pea, Radish, Buckwheat, etc.)
Add these super greens to smoothies and juices for an extra boost. Here’s a simple smoothie recipe:
Super Green Smoothie
- ½ – 1 cup Blueberries
- ¼ cup Goji Berries
- Handful of greens (e.g., chard, kale, spinach, romaine, sprouts)
- 1 tablespoon Chia Seeds (or hemp, sunflower, pumpkin seeds)
- ½ – 1 cup filtered water
Blend until smooth, sip, and chew thoroughly. Enjoy! For variety, try changing up the berries and fruits.
The Power of Avocados
Given that our soils are often depleted, it’s crucial to include foods that provide extra minerals. Avocados are a powerhouse of nutrients with several amazing benefits:
- Stabilizes blood sugar
- Prevents cancer
- Supports healthy weight management
- Provides good fats that benefit LDL and HDL cholesterol levels
- Encourages healthy pregnancy and babies with Folic Acid
- Improves eyesight with Vitamin E and Beta Carotene, reducing inflammation
- Promotes healthy skin and hair
Protect Your Health
Our health is a gift that we must preserve, especially in these chaotic times. I hope these tips encourage you to focus on health, safety, and building a strong immunity to overcome any fears of disease.
Enjoy the warmth of the sun, and remember to take time to cleanse and purify your body, mind, and spirit through supervised fasting to maintain optimum health. During October, I’ll be offering supervised fasting through email and telephone, helping you prepare your body for winter and all potential viruses with superior nutrition and fasting.
