Is Your Fork Building Healthy Cells ?

 There was a time that I had no interest in learning about lifestyle and health. I thought I knew it all.  Then I was under tons of stress and my body felt tired and fatigued most of the time. A wellness colleague introduced me to a plant-based live food lifestyle. As I read and studied I realized what I was eating with my fork could make a major difference which it did!

Cell building foods 101!

1.  Live raw food has enzymes when not heated above 105 degrees assist in most cell function and digestion process  

2. Food such as fresh veg juices digest quickly and go straight to the cell to repair and rebuild   

3.  Raw fresh vegetables have many vitamins and minerals needed to build the cells  

4  Alkaline foods help balance the body whereas acid foods contributes to Dis-ease.

5.  Organic food is supposed to be without pesticides so obviously those foods will give less toxins for your body to handle   

As you put the life-giving foods at the end of your fork remember to remove the processed, sugary, acidic animal products.   

Since I had great heath challenge reverse with changing to a plant-based raw live food lifestyle I know firsthand and am grateful someone shared this info with me  

~~~A verse to inspire this journey of healthy eating:~~~

And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.  Genesis 1:29

What does bone health have to do with it?

One thing I have learned through the years is get some medical help but is there more to health than just the physical?  The concept of bone health is an example.   
First, bones are living tissue with many minerals.  Living things can be repaired with the correct nutrients.  

• Osteoclast:  Breaks bone material to release minerals to the blood.
• Osteoblast:  Rebuild bones

Second:  Our bodies have an intelligent acid/alkaline balance system.
When the body is acidic from eating processed food or stressed emotions calcium is taken from the bones.  The calcium is taken to be a buffer to  restore proper alkaline balance.

What is the solution to an acidic body pulling calcium from the bones?
1.  Bone weakening foods:  soft drinks, white sugar, white flour, carbonated drinks, dairy and alcohol
2.  Bone building foods: Sesame seeds, almonds, chia seeds, and green leafy vegetables.
3.  Deal with the soul issues that weaken the bones.

• Grief:  Psalm 31: 9-10  
• Wounded spirit:  Proverbs 17:22...but a broken spirit dries up the bones.
• Envy:  Proverbs:  14:30

​4.  Apply bone strengthening principles in your life.

• Good report: Let go of gossip and complaining or victim mentality.
• Pleasant words:  Proverbs 16:24  
• Psalm 34:20-21  He protects all his bones.  Not one of them will be broken.  

Our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made.  Next time you have an illness or body issue that is compromised in addition to the medical attention ask God to reveal if there are any other issues at the root of this physical manifestation.  I usually get a great answer which allows for a better chance of complete healing.  Try it and let me know how that goes.

Got Rest?

 

I don't know about you but sometimes I find it difficult to stop what I am working on in the late evening.  As a result, I go to bed after midnight or even 1 am!   What can it hurt you say. 

During my health challenge process I was taught rest especially during sleep is an important process to detox cells and cell renewal. 

• Rest helps give the body energy allowing for an increase focus and productivity.   
• While sleeping the body can rid of waste material and repair cells.   
• Those with diabetes especially need a good night rest.  

Some tips to help wind down in the evening include:  

1. Dim the lights.
2. Turn off computers and television one hour before bedtime. 
3. Aim for lights out between 10pm and the latest midnight.  
4. If a big problem is keeping you awake write out the issue in your journal, pray, brainstorm some resolution ideas, and revisit in the morning.
5. Give thanks for the day before bedtime.  
6. Listen to harp music before bedtime which is calming and soothing.
7. Make sure phones and computers are far from your bed or even turn off the wi-fi at night.  

 ​In all, rest will help you cope with life stressors and tasks better.  Lack of sleep and rest can result in a weakened immune system, fatigue and sluggishness.   Self-care is so important and can give you a more productive life!

In 2007 I felt fatigued, exhausted and did not know where to get help. But then a colleague who had a wellness center introduced me to plant-based raw live food. I read testimony after testimony of health challenges that were reversed with this lifestyle. I read books about the setup and skills needed to transition to a Genesis 1:29 garden food prep. I still lacked the skills. Finally, I was able to attend a health center and was able to turn my health around and learn to be a raw food chef and teacher.
