Tips for weight management

The first rule is never to skip a meal – this is not good for your metabolism.
Eat sensibly and as healthily as possible.  Wholesome natural or organic produce is best.  Processed food or ready-made meals are options that should be avoided.
Drink plenty of filtered water throughout the day 6 – 8 glasses is the recommended.  This also helps to purify and hydrate our skin.
Don’t forget to exercise – in order to burn fat we need to exercise in some form each day for 20 minutes at least 5 days a week.  This will help to increase your metabolism.

Get through Menopause naturally.

Menopause can be a trying time, but natural help is available.  Hot flushes may be corrected by proper diet, exercise and Vitamin E supplements.  Try eating legumes such as lentils, peas and beans are beneficial (try organic or fresh as these are better for you.)  As a snack, seeds and nuts (especially sunflower seeds).  Foods that contain Vitamin B Complex, Iodine, Iron and calcium are good as is lecithin and seaweed.  Your diet should exclude caffeine, refined sugar, alcohol (greatly reduce), spicy foods, animal foods and deep water fish.

Vitamin supplements recommended:-  Vitamin B Complex, Vitamin B5 (anti-stress), Vitamin B6 (reduces oedema), Vitamin C 1000mg, Vitamin E 400 i.u. Calcium twice daily and Magnesium.
Mineral supplements -:  Zinc, PBA
Other useful supplements: - Evening Primrose Oil, Probiotics (helps with hormonal balance), Kelp (contains iodine), lecithin before meals, and garlic.  Oats is a good nervine sedative.
Botanicals: - Lady’s Slipper (for anxiety and insomnia).  Sage (relieves hot flushes and is anti-hydrotic), fennel, chamomile (calmative), catnip, pulsatilla and valerian.

It is important to cleanse your liver, get plenty of exercise, drink plenty of clear fluids, minimise stress, get enough quality sleep, swim in the sea when you can, breathe deeply in fresh air, meditate daily, play soft music before you go to sleep and hot foot baths are good as this draws blood away from the head.  Warm baths – ensure they are not too hot, and relax for awhile in the warm water.

Relax into the situation and enjoy each day as it comes. 

Hungover effect from incorrect eating!

 

Did you know that eating the wrong type of food can also cause the same effects as a hangover? Having that nasty feeling does not mean you have necessarily consumed alcohol. A good way to get back on track, and feel better within 24 hours is to consume 3 - 4 cups of nettle tea throughout the day. A great blood purifier and cleansing herb.

 

 

Natural energy drink - Limitless

I received two great testimonies today of what XanGo's Limitless does for other people. 
Amanda said "Could not reply until I checked out the Limitless product, which I did yesterday, felt great all day and got so much done! Can one little sachet really do this, brilliant. Happy to endorse this at our next meeting"

 

Christine said "I drank one Limitless sachet on Monday morning at 6.30 am, I felt I was more levelled and had more sustained energy throughout the day.  This was more sustained energy than I usually feel on what is usually a very busy day for me.” 

My own personal experience of Limitless is similar to these ladies.  I took a sachet on Friday 7th November before rushing out to a meeting.  I knew I had a very busy day ahead.  Wow, I had such incredible sustained energy throughout the day, and felt a buzz of energy that was different to what I normally feel."

Limitless is a natural energy drink that will outlast any cup of coffee or retailed energy drink.  You will find you have sustained energy, without the peaks and dips that one usually feels during the day when consuming other products.  Limitless is good for your body, and used by marathon runners for natural endurance when they are competing.  Get in touch with me today to order yours!

Have a happy and healthy Christmas :)

Natural help for Psoriasis

Consistent and persistent long term natural treatment will provide the best and most positive results for Psoriasis!
Psoriasis is often triggered by prolonged stress, a traumatic event, food intolerance, liver congestion and vitamin B deficiency.   It is also linked to leaky gut and yeast fungal overgrowth.  In most cases the liver function is poor and is under stress.  Allergy testing is very useful to determine foods that you might have intolerance to.  An elimination or rotation diet is a great way to determine foods that may produce a reaction, therefore suspected foods are not consumed more frequently than every 4 – 7 days thus determining the effect they have on you and allowing the body to desensitize itself.

The first consideration is to focus on daily diet.
A strong recommendation is to remove wheat from the diet for a minimum of six months.
Also remove cow’s milk for a minimum of six months; there are a lot of great alternatives such as almond milk or goat’s milk.  My recommendation would be semi-skimmed goat’s milk.  It is the closet milk to mother’s milk which has soothing properties.  Consume food that is primarily alkaline in reaction.
If possible try detoxing and then a fast of vegetable juices for a few days.  This is recommended regularly.  XanGo has a great natural detox that cleans your liver and colon called Favao Detox.  See www.MyMangosteen.biz/PureWholeness for more information or get in touch with Catherine via email.

Foods that are good for you -  Raw vegetables – at least once daily.
A good variety of fresh food, increase fruit and vegetables daily.
Carrots, kale, figs, prunes, spinach, watercress and papaya.
Yellow foods very beneficial in the long term – carrots are very beneficial, butternut, avocados, bananas, papaya.  Soybeans.  High fibre – Brown rice, millet or buckwheat
Vegetable juices, Sarsaparilla, Dandelion coffee (this supports the liver) can be bought at most health food stores.
Natural probiotics yoghurt is a great daily addition to the diet which has many soothing benefits.   Salmon, sardines, mackerel, anchovies – consume fish at least twice a week.
Organic walnut or olive oil – drizzle over cooked food and add to salads.
Lean chicken
Drink lots of water and fluids.


Foods to avoid -  Wheat and gluten
Citrus fruits and Tomatoes
Red meats (including sausages, port, smoked meats)
Saturated and hydrogenated fats (margarine and fried foods)
Sweets.  Avoid Alcohol as much as possible, especially wine and cider
Pastry, Vinegar and Carbonated beverages.
Full fat dairy products, Tinned fish and meats
Coffee replace with Dandelion coffee which supports the liver
Cocoa and chocolate (pure raw chocolate is better and not as acidic

Apply Bergamot oil  or Vitamin A oil to lesions, followed by natural sunlight is best.

Mangosteen (XanGo Juice) has great health properties, and has been known to soothe this condition with remarkable results!  For more information please get in touch with Catherine and I will send you more information.

Mangosteen and the Ebola Virus

“HSPA5 is an essential host factor for the Ebola virus. (It's been identified as an ebolavirus-associated host protein.) As it turns out, EGCG seems to inhibit HSPA5, the chaperone protein essential for Ebola virus infection. Both in vitro ...and in vivo gene targeting impaired viral replication and protected animals in a lethal infection model.“

I would like to emphasise that mangosteen juice will not offer protection against Ebola, but it is good to be armed with such a powerful natural inhibitor. Mangosteen is a great health drink, and one that the whole family can enjoy.
