THREE COMPONENTS FOR VIBRANT HEALTH

There are three components to vibrant health:
1.What you put in your body by way of food, drink,
chemicles that are absorbed through the skin by way of personal care products,
cleaning, and industrial products, etc.
2.How efficiently your body cleanses itself from metabolic waste and environmental toxins.
3.How you manage the stress level in your life: peaceful, loving, compassionate, forgiving, etc.

Thanksgiving and Christmas provide most of us with over a month of indulgence in poor dietary choices. Stress is high with preparations, parties and unrealized expectations that create conflict and grief. This brings many into respiratory infections or a bout with their own chronic health issues.

This year I felt the need to start now with a total body cleanse which I usually do in the Spring and Summer. I went to my herbalist to get a blood cleanser and have begun a program that encludes reduction of meat and other acidic foods & drink, increased fiber and water, exercise, and certain foods that help the detoxification organs (kidneys and liver) to do their job. Need I mention the negative effect of sugar on the immune system? Artificial sweetners are not the answer either.

You may not be ready for a serious cleanse, but the following foods will do the body good: Beets, Greens like Kale, Collards, Spinach, and Romaine, Broccoli, Brussel Sprouts, Cucumbers, Celery, Blueberries, Lemons & Grapefruit, are a few that help your body cleanse and repair and build healthy cells.

I want to share several ways to enjoy Kale Greens and morning drinks that alkalize the blood. An alkalized body will not be suseptable to infections and cancers. I know. That is a startling statement to make. Do your own study on acid/alkaline balance. www.phmiracleliving.com This is Robert Young's website. Read, read, read.

I also have another stew that is delicious, filling and unusual for these cold winter days.

Talk to you tomorrow.
