Many studies have shown that diseased cells thrive in acidity (low pH), but not in alkalinity (high pH), so a diet high in alkaline foods like fruits and vegetables that also limits acidic foods, such as those from animal products, will raise blood pH levels and create an environment in the body that discourages disease growth.🧐
Same situation with inflammation - when there is a lot of acid-forming food in your diet, it can lead to many different forms of chronic inflammation, including arthritis, acne, fatigue, bloated feeling, weight gain, and more.
If you’re looking for a cleansing beverage that’s super alkaline, hit the link below and for information on whole foods that are good for you and will create an alkaline environment in the body, please check us out in our bio. 👏🤓

Vitamins and minerals are considered essential nutrients—because acting in concert, they perform hundreds of roles in the body. They help shore up bones, heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They also convert food into energy, and repair cellular damage. 🤓
Every day our bodies use vitamins and minerals to keep things running. Unfortunately, many of our foods are containing less and less of these valuable nutrients, so if you are not consuming adequate amounts of key vitamins and minerals, you draw from your body’s stores. And if this continues for long enough….. It creates internal deficiencies, imbalances and even chronic disease… 🧐
Look for GMO-free whole foods that can provide high levels of assimilation. A whole food has: protein, carbohydrates, fat, minerals, vitamins, and fats. 👍👏
Check us out in our bio for a complete range of super concentrated whole foods that will help you to naturally maintain and increase the level of important vitamins and minerals in your body.
We all know that calcium is important for bone health as 99% of our body’s calcium is in the bones and teeth. So what are some other key functions that calcium plays in our body?
💡Regulate muscle contraction: Our body requires calcium to help the protein in our muscles carry out contractions
💡Cardiovascular health: Calcium maintains the action of heart muscles and relaxes the muscles surrounding our blood vessels.
Calcium can’t be produced by human body, thus, we need to get it through consuming calcium-rich foods, such as:
🥛Dairy Products: Cheese, Milk, Yogurt, etc.
🥦Dark Green Leafy Vegetables: Broccoli, Kale, Watercress, etc.
🍣Fish with Edible Soft Bones: Sardines, Salmon
🌰Nuts and Seeds: Almonds, Sesame, and Chia
Besides obtaining calcium from food sources, you can also take calcium-fortified supplements to ensure adequate daily consumption. 👍
If you’re looking for a superior calcium supplement formulated with ultra-pure calcium mined from fossilized coral in the ocean. Each chewable tab contains a proprietary combination of carbonate, citrate, and gluconate forms of calcium, plus concentrated herbal extracts, enzymes, and vitamin D to enhance absorption.

So what are some health benefits of aromatherapy? There are several, here are a few to consider. 🧐
Promotes relaxation and better sleep: The aroma of essential oils not only decreases the likelihood of having sweaty palms or heart palpitations, but also helps reduce anxiety and stress. In addition, aromatherapy may relax the muscles and slow one’s heart rate to encourage sleep. 👍
Aids in alleviating respiratory ailments: Essential oils such as eucalyptus have antiseptic properties that can help clear the air of bacteria and mold, thereby improving respiratory problems such as runny nose, coughs, and sinus infections.👏
Reduces pain and inflammation: Essential oils not only provide a boost to your mental well-being, but are also used to reduce pain and inflammation. To help soothe muscle tension, joint pain, inflammation or headaches, you can combine different essential oils to inhale or apply onto sore areas. 🤓
Always loved the reggae sound and vibe. I believe Bob had it right, nature is so smart that it puts medicine in our food. Let thy food be thy medicine.....🤓
Herbal remedies are becoming more and more popular as people look for natural & safe alternatives to maintain good health and reduce symptoms of various ailments. Aromatherapy is a favorite of mine, because it helps me to relax and ease respiratory symptoms. 👏
Aromatherapy is a holistic health therapy which involves inhaling or applying onto the skin —aromatic essential oils that can induce relaxation and improve one’s mood. It is said that aromatherapy also provides numerous health benefits such as clearing the respiratory system and combating inflammation.
Inhaling the aroma of essential oils stimulates our smell receptors, which activates the brain to produce chemicals that calm our nervous system. By breathing in essential oils, we are able to balance our physical, psychological, and spiritual selves. One main reason why aromatherapy is so widely used is its convenience: it can be practiced at the comfort of one’s home.
Over the next few days we’ll share how aromatherapy helps boost one’s mental well-being and physical health, as well as the various methods of using essential oils for aromatherapy. 👍🤓
I think we can all agree that sleep is as important to our health as eating, drinking and breathing. It allows our bodies to recharge and our brains to consolidate our memories and process information. Poor sleep is linked to physical problems such as a weakened immune system and mental health problems such as anxiety and depression. 🧐
So how can we avoid sleepless nights? Avoid chemicals that disrupt sleep, such as ni****ne, caffeine, and alcohol, Eat lighter meals at night and at least two hours before bed, Stay active, but exercise earlier in the day, Take a hot shower or bath at the end of your day, Avoid screens one to two hours before bed. 👍
And what foods will help you if you’re dealing with insomnia? Try Some Walnuts, Make Sure You Get Enough Vitamin B6, Bananas, Cherries or Cherry Juice, Basil, Magnesium, Drink a Glass of Milk or a Relaxing herbal Tea. 😋
Here’s a soothing herbal beverage that helps relax your body and mind with a special blend of passion flower, camellia leaf, jujube seed, and other calming herbs. Drink it before bedtime to relax and promote restful sleep or sip it during the day to enhance hydration, ease tension, and melt away stress. 👏

Show yourself and grow to your full potential! 👍
I've heard that fish only grow to the size of the tank, but is that true? Nope, it’s a myth. Almost all cold-blooded animals, including fish, will continue to grow as long as they are alive, and may outgrow a small tank. ... The "full grown" size of a fish is determined by genetics, not by aquarium size, and individual fish will reach different sizes, just as adult humans reach different sizes.
Just like fish, we have the ability to grow beyond the barriers we place around ourselves. Don’t limit yourself with small-minded people, and don’t focus on the problems. 🤓
Instead, change your environment, focus on the possibilities and enjoy the opportunities that will come! 👏
It is Earth Element 🌎time. More reasons to walk barefoot, connect to mother earth and ground! 👍

What is Serotonin and is it important? 🧐
Serotonin is the key hormone that stabilizes our mood, feelings of well-being, and happiness. This hormone impacts your entire body. It enables brain cells and other nervous system cells to communicate with each other. Serotonin also helps with sleeping, eating, and digestion. 👍
Serotonin is made via a unique biochemical conversion process. It begins with tryptophan, a building block to proteins. Cells that make serotonin use tryptophan hydroxylase, a chemical reactor which, when combined with tryptophan, forms 5-hydroxytryptamine, otherwise known as serotonin.
What Foods Can Boost Serotonin?
Salmon, Nuts and Seeds, Turkey and Poultry, Eggs, Tofu and Soy, Milk and Cheese, and Pineapple to name a few! 👏
“Everything in Life is Vibration” – Albert Einstein
The law of attraction states that the universe responds to whatever you are offering — by giving you more of whatever you are vibrating. It doesn't care whether it is good for you or not; it simply responds to your vibration.🤓
Your energy frequency and vibration directly relate to both your thoughts and your surroundings. So if something resonates at a stronger energetic frequency than you do, that level of frequency pulls you in like a whirlpool.
And a few everyday things we can do to raise our vibration: Meditate, Yoga, Practice mindfulness, Tend to your chakras, Use crystals, Walk in nature, Eat more healthy, sustainable foods. 👍😎
Dandelion Root has a reputation as a pesky w**d, but this flowering plant has a long history of therapeutic use. 🤓

Dandelion root is a rich source of iron, a key component of hemoglobin (a protein in blood that carries oxygen to all tissues and organs). 👍

Graphic but I liked it and it's well to the point!👍
Yep! 🤓
"Keep that crap out of the house" the words I hear from my wife when I try to bring home junk food. The garbage is engineered to be adictive and there's no way that will power alone will win the battle. Don't give them the satisfaction of your money - be strong! 😎
It’s Late Summer and Earth 🌎element time so it’s critical to ground and be in touch with mother earth so walk barefoot if possible!
Walking is a form of low impact, moderate intensity exercise that has a range of health benefits and few risks. As a result, the CDC recommend that most adults aim for 10,000 steps per day . For most people, this is the equivalent of about 8 kilometers, or 5 miles. 👍
And the benefits keep on coming! 👏
Increased cardiovascular and pulmonary (heart and lung) fitness, reduced risk of heart disease and stroke, improved management of conditions such as hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, joint and muscular pain or stiffness, and diabetes, stronger bones and improved balance, Flexibility. No matter where you are, you can go take a walk, It's Free, You can literally walk anywhere, No Learning Curve and it’s a Socializing Opportunity. 🤓
To lentil or not to lentil? 🧐
In addition to their benefit as a great prebiotic, lentils are an inexpensive, healthy source of protein, potassium, and complex carbohydrates, including dietary fiber. They are known to lower cholesterol and protect against diabetes and colon cancer.👍
A single serving of lentils meets 32% of the fiber you need each day. A daily dose of fiber pushes waste through your digestive system and prevents constipation, too. The potassium, folate, and iron in lentils also provide lots of benefits. Potassium counters the bad effects of salt and lowers blood pressure.
Ounce for ounce, lentils have as much protein as steak (with less than 10 percent of the fat!). ... And, as noted in the San Francisco Chronicle, a diet high in lentils and other pulses can reduce your risk of cancer, diabetes and heart disease.👏😁

Pistachios are a very nutritious food that are bursting with the fiber, minerals, and unsaturated fat that can help keep your blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol in check. Their fiber and protein can make you feel fuller for longer. This fiber can also have a positive effect on your gut by aiding "good" bacteria. 👍
They offer several health benefits, especially for the heart, gut, and waistline. Regularly eating pistachios may be a good way to improve health and wellbeing. But people should stick to plain, unsalted pistachio nuts in their shells and avoid eating more than one ounce a day. 🤓
Pistachios contain certain phenolics which can reduce the breakdown of tryptophan to toxic compounds so that it is converted to melatonin. The increase in tryptophan has the potential to help with delayed sleep onset, sleep duration and quality. 👏
I was going to get a soda and then I remembered...........🤓
Recent studies have shown that your body replaces around 330 billion cells per day. At that rate, your body is making over 3.8 million new cells every second. 👍
If we’re feeding ourselves poorly and not cleansing at a cellular level, we’re walking down a path of degeneration where our bodies become weekend and impurities accumulate. As theses impurities continue to build, chronic conditions develop. In time, these can become degenerative problems. 🧐
Feeding your body with the right combination of whole food nutrition and cleansing beverages will bring balance and also create an environment where our bodies can repair, renew and regenerate themselves as they were designed, naturally. 😋
Regeneration vs. Degeneration? We truly are what we eat, so please choose wisely. 🤓

The month of September bring us into the Earth element and Late Summer here in the Northern Hemesphere. This is a time of doyo or transition. During this period of transition it is particularly important to stay centered, in touch with the earth, grounded. 🤓
From a numerological standpoint September is a number nine. Paula Bowman writes “The actual date of this month of September, numerically of course, looks like this: 9/2021. Now, add them up sideways: 9+2+0+2+1=14, which equals 5. Five means surprises, healing jumps, fun stuff and the big word: changes. Things we never would expect. Small healthy surprises, but also big healthy surprises. Things happen to us; other things, we surprisingly initiate ourselves.
Now, all Septembers are a number nine, and in numerology they produce the quality of culmination and completion. Somehow, some way, “it is finished”. But the quality is spiritual, for number nine, so it is a healing and spiritual completion, in some way or other. Or, a finish of a project which is spiritual. Or, we might say, “It was a spiritual endeavor.”
This year, 2021, is also a five (2+0+2+1= 5), and so we have a double impact from our five: the year (2021) and the year-plus-month (9+2+0+2+1=14, 1+4=5). This presents us with two fives—quite different, say, from this past month of August or the coming October month. September is different: “The Healing Five Within the Healing Five”. This means surprises within surprises.”
How cool is that, surprises within surprises await us this month! 👏👍😁
