The "True" American Diet
The American diet is full of C.R.A.P. (Caffeinated, Refined, Artificial, and Processed) Foods. We need to be more mindful of what we put into our bodies. We also need to be mindful of the internal pollution we put into our minds. The mind-Body connection tells us that all thoughts produce neurological and immunologic (Bio-Chemical) Changes.
STRESS – leads to a metabolic imbalance as well as an energetic imbalance. There are 5 types of Stress (information provided by the C.H.E.K. Institute)
- Psychic (spiritual, mental, emotional)
- Nutritional (insufficient quantity or quality)
- Chemical (toxic substances, non-nutritional
- Physical (postural, structural, traumatic,
- Electro-Magnetic (x-ray, microwave, geomagnetic, etc.)
We must all learn to use UN-STRESS strategies to help keep us healthy:
- Meditation
- Visualization
- Prayer
- Yoga
- Breathing
- Tai chi
- Budokon
- Stretching
- Hobbies
- Nature Walks
- Etc.
We also need to remember that every emotion is connected with a thought and vice versa- so emotional release therapy is important. We also need external help through: REIKI, ROLFING, WATSU, Chakra Balancing etc. We must take care of our bodies. You can manage stress more effectively when you are fed well, well rested, well exercised and maintain a healthy lifestyle. Provide for your spiritual needs: The human body functions much best with attitudes of love, gratitude, forgiveness and humbleness.
