So many questions about healthy living and so little time to answer them all. But yes, there is a practical answer for every practical question.
Learn a little more with me today. You can only benefit from it.
Question: I sleep early and hardly stay out late. But why am I so sickly? I am home most of the time because I am a hands-on mom of five kids.
Answer: There are many possibilities. For one, you could be stressed and overworked as a full-time mother.
But there are other areas you should explore, like the air you breathe or the food you eat.
Do you know that about 80 percent of any health challenge can be attributed to one’s eating habits?
And that there is a chance to turn around your condition simply by making adjustments on the quality of your meals?
- Are you eating enough vegetables? Are they organic?
- Do you drink enough water?
- Do you exercise at all?
One crucial truth about environmental effects on one’s health is the poor air quality within the home. A tropical climate can be damp. High humidity is a perfect condition for molds to accumulate.
If you are asthmatic, you must address the mold air levels in your home.
Solution: Ionizing air filters are now available.
Also, leaking roofs that damage ceilings can become damp and create a proliferation of molds.
Consider putting a water filter in your home.
Increase your vegetable intake, exercise, drink lots of water. Above all, consult your doctor.
Remember that toxic burdens on the body can manifest into disease with time.
Question: How can I have a beautiful complexion?
Answer: The best way is to detoxify your body. Remove a buildup of toxins from within.
Try this proven regimen:
- Sweat it out—Exercise three times a week, daily if possible.
- Increase green vegetable intake, preferably raw, to 75 percent of your meal intake.
- Hydrate—Drink 10-15 glasses daily.
- Increase vitamin C intake to 1,000 mg daily.
- Consider intravenous drip therapy of vitamin C and glutathione.
- Have a cleaning facial once a month.
- Try a 20-minute session inside an infrared sauna.
Question: What does it mean when you say “You are what you eat?”
Answer: There is a “Doctrine of Signatures,” meaning that every whole food is symbolic of a vital organ in the body.
If within nature there is a code, maybe we should heed the signs.
For example:
- Carrot—When sliced, it resembles the eye. Take note that carrots are rich in vitamin A which benefits the eyesight.
- Walnut—It looks like a small brain. This nut is known as a helper to three dozen neurotransmitters in the brain.
- Figs—Filled with seeds, figs hang in a pair from a tree, resembling the scrotum. Figs stimulate the health and number of sperm cells.
- Sweet potatoes—Resembling the pancreas (which produces insulin), sweet potatoes are the best food for diabetics as it brings down the glycemic index.
- Avocados (like eggplant and pears)—These look like the female and male organs. Research has proven that when a woman eats one whole avocado once weekly, it helps balance hormones, prevents cervical cancer and helps in reducing excess weight brought on by pregnancy.
- Grapes—When clustered together, they look like the shape of the heart. Every single grape looks like a blood cell. Today’s research shows that grapes are a blood-revitalizing food benefiting the heart.
- Grapefruit, oranges, citrus fruits—They look like breasts. They contribute to breast health and the movement of the lymph within the mammary glands.
- Tomato—When sliced, it resembles a heart with four chambers. Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, considered blood food.
- Celery (bokchoy and rhubarb) —They look like bones.
Trivia: Bones contain 23 percent sodium and celery contains 23 percent sodium—nature’s message contained in food.
Kidney beans—They look like kidney replicas. These beans maintain kidney function.
