Pictures Are Worth a Thousand Words!

healthy foods - organic fruits and veggies

Healthy foods – when combined properly and used consistently – can have wonderful illness-prevention properties and may reduce bloating, gas, reflux, and other yucky symptoms!

I found a great site, Shape-Able.com. which elaborates on several kinds of foods that are best to address specific conditions. I encourage you to go to their site. However, I’ll share a few of their pictures (with permission) to give you examples. Then, you’ll know it’s worth the time to investigate more on their website!

I am not a nutritionist. Most of the classes I teach are about personal or professional development and other ways of being or becoming healthy. Examples include setting boundaries, self-care, stress reduction, meditation, working with chakras, “energy work” – like Reiki, and learning techniques for changing fears and limiting beliefs so that you can meet your personal and professional goals. However, I KNOW THAT “WE ARE WHAT WE EAT,” so I want to share this great information with you. If you want to know more about my specialties, see the Contact Us info at the end of this blog or email me at GetWellStayWell@outlook.com. Do yourself a favor, though, and see the healthy food info below first.

It’s important to cover the body with light clothing and to wear scarves and hats when working or walking in wooded areas. It’s also time to compare insect repellents which are commercial poisons and those which are organic to see which ones work best. Some are oils; some are sprays. The Consumer Reports Buying Guide gives excellent descriptions of several products. Continue Reading →

 Benefits of Clay? Here is an Update!

Wait ’til you see a partial list of uses (below)! It’s mind-blowing! (Yes, I have used clay for many of these problems, so I know this is TRUE.) Continue Reading →
