Are Toxins Affecting Your Health?

Toxins can make you feel sluggish, tired, irritable and generally unwell. To find out if your health is being affected by toxins, ask yourself these questions:
• Are you often tired or lethargic?
• Do you regularly suffer from bloating, diarrhoea, constipation or other digestive disturbances?
• Do you get recurrent headaches?
• Are you regularly suffering from muscle aches and pains?
• Do poor short-term memory and concentration affect your ability to function at work?
• Do you have allergies or sensitivities?
• Do you suffer from depression, anxiety and/or mood swings?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, your body may be overburdened by toxicity.

Staying Healthy in a Toxic World
In our busy modern world, toxins are commonly encountered. Environmental toxins include heavy metals, pesticides, chemicals, food additives, drugs and pollutants, which are present in the air, water and food that we consume. Toxins do not only come from your external environment, they can also be generated internally by “unfriendly” bacteria, yeasts and parasites in your digestive system. Your body is an amazing machine which can eliminate all these toxins through many different pathways; however, excess toxic exposure can overburden this machine. If you are not feeling 100%, a detoxification program will help to reduce this toxic load from your body and put a spring back into your step. Ask us today about a safe and effective detoxification program which will help to remove the toxic load from your body.

It’s Time for a Spring Clean!
A natural detoxification program can be one of the most effective ways to rapidly improve the state of your health, as it will help clear toxins out of your body and leave you feeling healthy and energetic. However, detoxification is serious business and your safety and comfort during the process is important. Therefore, the best detox is a program done under the guidance and support of a qualified naturopath.

The Three Step Spring Clean
A good detox program should involve three major steps. First, you need to remove the “bad” bugs from your digestive system; and then replace the “bad” bugs with new “good” bugs (out with the old and in with the new)! Finally, you need to support and enhance your liver and kidneys capacity to remove waste from your body.

Dietary Tips
During your detox, it is really important to eat a healthy well balanced diet, preferably organic. Ask us today about the best diet for your individual requirements to ensure you are eating the right foods for your body in order to maximise the detoxification process.

Come in today and see us about a safe, gentle and effective detox program that will help clear your body of accumulated toxins. The natural supplements used in this program are designed to support your body, detoxification and repair systems to function efficiently, without causing any undesirable side effects. I will get you feeling great again!

'Never give up on anybody, miracles happen everyday' H. Jackson Brown Jnr

DAY 10-30 DAY CHALLENGE

'You can if you think you can' Norman Vincent Peale

Aint that the truth, we only do what we think that we can, and vice versa. So I think that no matter where you are at, today challenge yourself to believe something that you never though possible, something positive. Think about it, see yourself doing it, feel how good it feels to ache vie, smell it, breathe it. Do what it takes to put yourself there, then see what happens, suddenly its not so impossible.

Today start a new habit, start adding more vegetables into your day, everyday. Sneek them in where you can,

• when making muffins, substitute some pureed beetroot in place of some of the butter or fat in the recipe
• always keep some chopped up vegetables in a container in the fridge for snacking
• add spinach to your pasta sauces, just before serving
• serve a salad with every meal
• add some extra vegetables into your sandwich.

Get creative, get healthier, get where you want to be quicker. A mind that is fed the right foods as well as the right information, knows no boundaries.

Day 9- 30 DAY CHALLENGE

'Its not enough to aim, you must hit' Italian proverb

So this means that the thought is not enough, you must take action, so on day 9. I hope that you are committed to your goals. I think that the easiest way to change old habits is to replace them with a new one, so instead of deciding I am going to cut out all chocolate, why not decide to replace sugar laden cooked unhealthy chocolate with raw dark chocolate, that is full of vitamins or minerals. You see suffering is not required to get to your goals, you just have to think outside of where you normally do, ok and maybe it will require a little taste bud adjustment, but once you are there, you wont want to go back. It is easy to make change...try some of the following:

REPLACE:

COFFEE with DANDELION TEA, it will give your energy that you usually get from caffine, with no caffine hit and it can help assist in losing body fat.

WHITE BREAD with WHOLEMEAL/WHOLEGRAIN BREAD AND PASTA VARIETIES, white grain products drain B Vitamins from the body to digest, whereas the wholegrain/wholemeal varieties, give the body B Vitamins

STORE BROUGHT JUICES with FRESH FRUIT, instead of loading your body with pasterised juices, treat it with the real McCoy, fresh fruit contains vitamins and minerals.

CAR PARK near the front of the SHOPS for one at the back, walk yourself to health, those steps do make a difference....

DAY 8- 30 DAY CHALLENGE

'If all people are unique, and if they are constantly changing each and every day, then all one can say about any social research finding is that it applied to that group of people on that given day, and given the propensity of humans to be different and to change, then it is unlikely that one would get the same results if one were to repeat the study.” Wayne Dyer

If only you knew how amazing you were, how amazing your body and your mind are, I wonder what you would do? In studying to be a nutritionist, I am in awe at the miracles that we are. Do you know how many systems, how many millions of cells are working together so that you can read and interpret this post, do you know what has to happen in order for you to move your hand. I suppose if we knew how amazing we were, we would know that nothing is impossible, because we are truly incredible beings.

So for today, how about you stop and be grateful for you, your infinitesimal possibilities and respect yourself - your decisions, look after your body, nuture and feed your mind. Be grateful for everyone around you too, they are miracles.

Tip of the day: Summer is just around the corner, why spend one day feeling bad about yourself, do something about it. Start working your stomach muscles-DAILY... Try sit-ups, you dont need to go to the gym. Jump on the ground and commit to at least 20 a day.

DAY 7-30 DAY CHALLENGE

'No undertaking is difficult if pursued with perserverance' Phillipine Proverb

Well if you are reading this, you are perservering... Hopefully you are looking at your healthy goals daily, and taking action.

So today the focus is on staying committed, staying power. Enough cannot be said for the power of perserverance in acheiving anything and everything. It is the difference between healthy and sick and fit or fat.

You see, perserverance is getting up at 6 to go for a walk because you know that if you don't get up then, you will not, it is deciding to drink water instead of coke and studying instead of watching TV, its going on despite the set backs we all have. Perserverance is deciding that once you set your goal, you will acheive it. So today I am here to encourage you to stay committed, DONT GIVE UP, even when it seems too hard, remember what the goal is, if at first you fail try and try again, look for progress, pat yourself on the back...

Tip for today: Try stretching before your undertake any exercise, this encourages the body to release synovial fluid from the joints, this means that the joints become more lubricated. This lubrication facilitates easier joint movement and less injuries, in fact the majority of joint injuries can be alleviated by warming up correctly before exercising. Maybe even try warming up as soon as you wake up. Look after your body, nuture it.
