Kick menstration pain in the gut. ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ ūüćÉūüĆłūüćÉ . Love this little bottle of cleanse and immune revive. Yes it‚Äôs ridiculously overpriced for its small size but I needed all the help I could get this morning, when my period pain hit. I craved chocolate and all the bad stuff but I didn‚Äôt give in to it as I knew that would bring on more pain ūüí•ūü§Ē... . Instead I munched on some oat bars from Deliciously Ella, packed with all the nutrients we women need especially at this time of the month. Then I picked up one of these green bad boys to help cleanse and boost my immune system ūü§úūüŹĽūüćÉ . Cheaper if you have the time to make but it‚Äôs awesome to know we can get this sort of stuff on the go when we really need it ūüėäūüíē . Pain massively reduced and ready to go ūüí™ūüŹĽūüėÄūüíźūü§łūüŹĽ‚Äć‚ôāÔłŹ . #nutritiontherapy #healing #healingfoods #functionalfoods #superfoods #digestivehealth #hearthealth #immunebooster #painfreeliving #natropathy #diet #reducesymptoms #diseaseprevention #health #natural #food #wholefoods #wellbeing #selfhelp #womenshealth #antiinflammatory #guthealth #mindfulness #naturallife #Healthybalance #selflove #grateful #epigenetics #youvegotthepower #menstrualtherapy

GETTING THE BEST OUT OF YOUR EXERCISE _________________ ūüćÉūüĆłūü§łūüŹĽ‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹūüŹä‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹūüŹ Ą‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹūüĆłūüćÉ . Whilst exercise is an important part of keeping a healthy body and mind, keeping a balance is also very important.... . The dangers of over exertion and lack of nutritional support can result in undesirable symptoms, which is exactly what we‚Äôre trying to avoid. . In some cases, over exertion and lack of proper diet can cause: ‚ö†ÔłŹ Major nutrient depletion ‚ö†ÔłŹ Muscle fatigue ‚ö†ÔłŹ Muscle loss ‚ö†ÔłŹ Extreme tiredness ‚ö†ÔłŹ Stress to the body ‚ö†ÔłŹ Metabolism imbalance . In other cases, too much unnatural protein and supplementation for body building, will put excess pressure on the liver and kidneys, causing a build up of toxins putting pressure on the heart. . TELL ME SOMETHING I CAN PUT INTO ACTION NOW? ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ‚ÄĒ- ūüćÉ Don‚Äôt over do it. Trying to do more within a short timescale only puts excess pressure on the muscles and organs; sending you backwards in your quest for improved health. Less and better quality is more. ūüćÉ Stretch before and after. Support your muscles to do the best job they can. This will reduce wear and tare, and avoid pain. ūüćÉ Leave time for rest after. The body needs room to heal and to repair itself after exertion; help it to do its job. ūüćÉ Carb up with slow releasing energy carbohydrates beforehand. This will support a good workout and will reduce muscle loss. ūüćÉ Drink water mixed with fresh fruit juice and a hint of sea salt to support the muscles during exercise. This will also help to reduce muscle loss. ūüćÉ Top up with vitamin Bs, Magnesium & Protein post workout. This will replace the nutrients mostly required for exercise. ūüćÉ Cleanse the Liver and Kidneys with lemon water, green vegetables, or herbal teas after eating. This will help the body to cleanse toxins and will help to heal muscles faster. . #nutrition #nutritiontherapy #healing #healingfoods #functionalfoods #superfoods #digestivehealth #hearthealth #immunebooster #painfreeliving #natropathy #diet #reducesymptoms #diseaseprevention #health #natural #food #wholefoods #wellbeing #selfhelp #womenshealth #antiinflammatory #guthealth #mindfulness #earnyourhappy #naturallife #Healthybalance #selflove #exerc

WHOLEGRAIN FASTING _______________________________ FASTING - PART 2 __________ ūüćÉūüĆłūüĆŅūüĆĺūüĆľūüĆĽūüćöūüĆĹūüĆŅūüĆłū üćÉ... . This type of fasting is effective for deficient and thin frames. .

Can you find 3 things to be appreciative of right now? ūüćÉūüĆłūüíęūüĆŅ‚ėÄÔłŹūüĆŅūüíęūüĆłūüćÉ . Appreciate who you are, what you have, and how hard you are already working at this moment. .... The more we enjoy and appreciate the little things, the more we attract freely and easily. . Speaking from my own journey, I know how hard it is to keep the balance between achieving and enjoying. When I feel I‚Äôm stepping back into my old ways, I find it helpful to meditate and let go of who I think I am and the expectations I sometimes put onto myself. When I do this it helps me to remember why I began on the roads I‚Äôm on now. . The more I practice self compassion and gratitude for the moments, the people, and the things in my life right now, the more I feel at peace with the natural flow of life. . Being present is our natural way. . Spread the love. Pass on some gratitude ūüėäūüôŹūüŹĽūüĆłūüíē .

HOW DOES FASTING HEAL THE BODY? _______________________________ FASTING - PART 1 __________ ūüćÉūüĆłūüĆŅūüćĶūü¶čūüíēūüĆŅūüĆłūüćÉ... . Fasting supports our bodies to heal through deep purification. Our ancestors used fasting methods as to help the body heal from disease. Other reasons they fasted were to cleanse & rid the body of excess fats & toxins. Traditionally they fasted during spring on little more than water & spring greens. . To fast, literally means to purify the body faster. When we think of fasting, many think of water or juice fasting for anything from 2 days to weeks, or even months. Depending on metabolism, lifestyle & will power, there are many different ways and good tips to help support your body to the best type of fast for you. . JUICE FASTING ___________________ ūü•ēūüćčūüćä Juice fasting has been one of the most popular, with green juices more easily accessible in supermarkets or homemade juicers being made available at more affordable prices. This method offers faster purification due to the chlorophyll in green vegetables and the fruits ability to cleanse the body faster. . WATER FASTING ___________________ ūüí¶ūüćĶ Is often used for religious and spiritual purposes, the method being only water consumed which supports the body's natural ability to fast. A strong will power to succeed for a period of time is needed, as there are no sugars to help support energy levels during the fast. . MICRO ALGAE / WHEATGRASS FASTING ___________________________________ ūüćĶūü•¨ Is for super healing, for disease. Just as with juicing, it can be added to green juices or on its own with water. The benefits from this type of fasting are 3-fold; Due to its high chlorophyll content, it clears toxins & candida build up faster than water or contemporary juicing. Micro-Algae and Wheatgrass also contain good amounts of Protein, Beta-Carotene, Omega 3, & Nucleic Acid, which will help support energy and the body better during the fast. Often through juice & water fasting, muscle mass can also be lost. . #nutrition #nutritiontherapy #healing #healingfoods #functionalfoods #superfoods #digestivehealth #hearthealth #immunebooster #painfreeliving #natropathy #diet #reducesymptoms #diseaseprevention #health #natural #food #wholefoods #wellbeing #selfhelp #womenshealth #antiinflammatory #guthealth #mindfulness #earnyourhappy #naturallife #Healthybalance #selflove #healingpower #fasting
