Soothe in December...OO is for 'Om'

How do you wind down, relax, and de-stress?  Do you take a nap?  Pencil in some quiet time?  Spend time in nature?  All are terrific options.  Meditation is a practice that can deepen your relaxation, soothe your mind, and heal body and spirit.  You can meditate anytime and anywhere.  Whether you are new to meditation or are well-versed in your meditative practice, may I suggest adding visuals and chants?

Visit Jonathan Goldman's website, Temple of Sacred Sound. His interactive space offers 4 different toning chambers alongside spectacular kaleidoscope imagery, my favorite toning chamber is 'Om'.  Give yourself at least 5-10 minutes and Soothe today.

Degenerative disease can be avoided...

Nathan Pritkin offered extensive research beginning in the 1970's, telling us that nutrition can beat disease and promise longevity.  Pritkin reports that coronary heart disease, angina, diabetes, arthritis, glaucoma, hypertension, gout, and some cancers are entirely avoidable.  Avoidable.

The price to pay for health?  Return to simpler foods and live a more active existence.  Meaning eat well on a diet of whole foods and exercise regularly.  Head over to my resource page and review detailed literature about restoring health and preventing disease with food and simple activity like daily walking.  Be enlightened and apply the suggestions in your day to day living.  See for yourself how good you can feel.

Read Pritkin's, Review of Medical Literature on Relationships of Various Degenerative Diseases to Diet and Activity, published October 1988.  A page or two can change how you view mealtime.

Be Well.

Nourish in November

Welcome to November!  My Thirsty Thursday topic focuses on 'Nourish', one of my key concepts.  Many of us will celebrate Thanksgiving in a few weeks.  A time for family, thankfulness, and feasting.  Food has become the great American pastime, and as a result of that adoration, many people are living with poor health.

Like it or not, food has consequences.  As a health coach, educator, and alternative healthcare practitioner clients tell me about their love/hate relationship with food.  For those of us living with chronic conditions, a poor diet adds pain, exacerbates symptoms, and can make us sicker.   My challenge to you is to watch the documentary, Forks Over Knives.  After I viewed this film and read the book, The Starch Solution, I chose to follow Dr. McDougall's eating plan and have never felt better.  In the last year I've lost over 20 pounds, eliminated my blood pressure medication, and have decreased the pain and inflammation surrounding my artificial hips.  I ate well before, but not well enough and the side effects from food were harming me.  In a few weeks I'll be upping my game and following Dr. McDougall's 10-day Maximum Weight Loss plan.  Join me.  I'll post my progress, display pictures of my meals, and most importantly -- share my results with you!

Mend your relationship with food.  Dine well and nourish.  Be well.
