So if you are like most of us.. our daily responsibilities can get the best of us...and we often forget to hydrate enough throughout our day. It takes a small amount of planning to have fresh ingredients on hand. I do my best to include fresh lemons on the ingredient shopping list for home and work. When you add fresh lemon to your water, detoxing benefits are yours as you sip throughout the day.
But what if you prep "spa or detox water" as you run errands to and from work...now that's luxurious and certainly brings benefits of investing in special effort on your part! In traveling around the state of Washington always looking for the lovely fresh fruits and berries in delicious for ice water add..and yes I definitely eat them at the bottom of the cup for an extra boost of nutrition. Cheers to good health and best choices. Loving the lifestyle shift www.realfoodadvocate.net

LOVING our new pan from Bed Bath & Beyond... Red Copper 12 in, stovetop & oven up to 450 Degrees
REAL FOOD is not found in a cereal box! And just to emphasize the point even our puppies know boxed cereal is simply not fit for consumption...filled with sugar, colors, preservatives, and fluff that tastes ohhh so good but does absolutely nothing to nourish the living body of humans and pets.
Its time to go through the cupboards...assess the value behind the doors, in the bags and boxes. What did you discover about yourself? How much was real food? What clues are on the labels? Are the contents inside loaded with sugar ? Be sure to review the ingredient list carefully. Chances are if you cant pronounce something, and the list is really long, best to avoid. So this exercise will create an awareness that may result in feeling stuck on snack and breakfast choices. Join our REAL FOOD ADOCATE community to explore and learn together. www.realfoodadvocate.net

Today I picked up "Apple Cider Vinegar" Natures Healing Miracle by Bragg Health Crusades , Patricia Bragg Health & Lifestyle Educator one of Americas Pioneers. This is a wonderful review for me, the lifestyle shift plays out in so many ways, choices of my daily habits, eating choices, reading material, how I spend my time, and how my thoughts affect my actions. This caught my emotions and heart in the struggle today and what a great reminder... Thank you Christian D Larson  Pain..the kind that cancels out your daily plans, paralyzes your schedule, challenges your mind, and so much more. My years spent in pregnancy, & multiple C-Sections brought back pain, intermittent, crippling, and the answers were rare as I struggled to find the reasons. I found myself immersed in x Rays, doctors prescribing anti-inflammatories, couch sleeping not out of choice but necessity while unable to walk to the nearest bed. Due to my legs being a full inch shorter one from another, aggravation would occur, inflammation setting into lower spine. I found that the spine alignment or in my case, not aligned will depend on proper muscle care to hold the spine in place correctly. The back spasms would throw me uncontrollably to the ground unable to stand, walk, or take care of necessities. I vividly remember the day I was unable to stand fully upright during x rays...what humiliation... How I wish I knew then how inflammation may come for a visit and take up residence far too long...but there are far better options then prescribed medications. Most pain really does come from inflammation with so many natural remedies and options to change the course. Thankfully a physical therapist described how best to work with the challenges and encouraged a required lifestyle shift.... Today, 20 years from pregnancies and back spasms, I realize how thankful I am for lifestyle changes made so long ago....and how far away from anti-inflammatory medications I have come, my journey has definite measured success.  |
