Important choices re.what you drink ..

While the whole world is so busy telling us constantly about what is good to eat and what is not, they seem to be missing a piece in the puzzle...

 

Here's the piece...  What you choose to drink on a regular basis, is in fact just as important as the foods we eat.  Once upon a time  there were so fewer choices in both food and drink and so much less processed and refined foods.  The benefits of this were that  our human bodies were not so dangerously damaged and affected as they are today. Unfortunately today, society is plagued with individuals who are insulin resistant, leptin resistant, diabetic, or with metabolic X syndrome.  These disorders  are all a cumulative consequence of too much processed and refined foods and drinks. They have simply overloaded their systems so much with these choices that the body gives up functioning as normal and starts to retain weight and to malfunction. Therefore it makes it very tough for someone to lose weight easily. Drinking sugary and diet drinks is a  NO NO as it  aggravates the system even more -again fuelling it's decline. Caffeine too has an adverse effect, stressing the nervous system out to the hilt and again leading to a viscious and continuous cycle of dysfunction. 

So, my advice is that there are many drinks out there that may help  you to reach  your goals by helping the system into a state of recovery.  Chicory root  powder is a great substitute for coffee, nourishing the kidneys and liver and cleansing the system.  White Peony Tea is miraculous as a white tea that is extremely high in antoxidants and again helps the liver and kidneys and lowers blood pressure.  It also is said to calm the brain  helping with stress and anxiety. Herbal teas are great , in many flavours and very refreshing. And lastly, WATER both carbonated and still are a MUST and with a slice of lemon  lime or ginger in the morning really stimulate the body to  function at its best.  Try  to make these good choices when you choose the foods you are eating.  both are equally as important as each other and you will reap the benefits in how you look and feel ! :-)

MORNING!

You know you must be doing something right, when you wake up every morning with lots of natural energy! This is just another benefit of exercising regularly, - it regulates your whole system. Start today! :)

APRIL POWER!

It's true what they say about every individual out there having the innate power to bring changes to their life.  And, on that note - I know that the same applies concerning each individuals personal  ability to change and achieve their physical goals including :-  their likes and dislikes about their body shape, their struggle with maintaining or even starting weight loss,  their desire for a toned conditioned body etc....

This  POWER lies within you- ready to bring the changes your body needs to feel healthier and happier.  You just have to 'BELIEVE'  and 'TRUST'  in your own capabilities and know that whatever physical goals you have are 'POSSIBLE'. 

When you give  yourself the chance to move forward  in this way , instantly you will feel  as if  a huge weight has been lifted off your shoulders, your whole being.This weight  was made up of all those doubts, fears, failures and negativity about your current body image and the trap it was in.   As you allow yourself to  believe in all of it being possible, your mind and body will start to truly connect  and you will know that although gradual, this connection will allow you to change your body and your life - FOREVER..

Human intention is a powerful force.  It  works when you apply it to other mediums,  so why for a moment doubt  it's power to give  you to the body you deserve?? :-)  IT WILL !!!

EASTER ENERGY!

I've been thinking for sometime about the importance of living life to our full potential..

It is pretty clear to me that to live fully we need to have the correct energy to do so. Diet, lifestyle, stresses, expectations, workplaces etc , all drain us of our energy sources and gradually over time, they are steadily depleted. We are left demotivated and unenthused mainly because our natural energy has been cut short.

Of course, I am going to emphasise the importance of eating right to balance and maintain your wellbeing and energy. Our food choices ALWAYS affect our state of mind, our moods and hence our behaviour . As far as I see it we are all living on stimulus foods- sugar, refined carbohydrates, far too many cereals and grains, processed food and drinks etc. Because our bodies are loaded with all these unnatural substances and the chemicals to preserve or enhance their tastes, we become quickly addicted to them and we also get used to thinking this stimulus energy they give us is REAL. And there you have it... We exist in overdrive because we consume these things like drugs and they allow us to function fast because they stimulate our autonomous nervous system. The problem is that this can never last. It drives your body into a stare of exhaustion and then eventually disease and illness. So, learning to live without these bad food choices is the key.. If you try to eliminate all these foods and replace them with good quality organic proteins , green leafy vegetables, low GI fruits etc soon it will all become clear as your mind becomes clear too. The first week of elimination will be so tough! You will feel exhausted , hungry , experience cravings , desperation etc - yes like experiencing drug withdrawal. You will then start to realise too that your energy was FALSE based on the foods you were consuming. They simply masked your exhaustion and kept you going . This elimination process allows you to rebuild your energy levels naturally and healthily. Very soon you will start to have amazing energy again but at the same time feel calmer and more balanced. No stimulants other than your own true motivation because you are realising your true potential again as you respect your body and nourish it properly. In my opinion this is key to all you do. You will NEVER look back .. x
