WELLNESS NUTRITION GUIDE   

​

What happens to your nutrients in chronic stress?

​

When the body is in a chronic state of stress, nutritional deficiencies can develop. You may feel tiered, and most of the time having low energy. This occurs due to nutrients being used up by the stress response. When you eat your nutritious meal, some of your nutrients are being diverted to that chronic stress response. These nutrients are not replaced fast enough, so deficiencies develop. This could cause other conditions as thinning skin, ecchymosis (which is bluish discoloration like a bruise), osteoporosis, and poor wound healing.

​

Digestion also slows or stops, when you are in a state of stress, which can lead to indigestion and poor assimilation (which is breakdown of food to energy) as what is known as Cushing syndrome. But! there is hope.

​

 

When You Begin To Detox

When you begin to detox, the mind and body could be overwhelmed with this movement of waste. Let's face it, this could be years of toxic thinking and toxic nutrition that has been building up as waste. Now this is being rooted out, and brought to the reface where it can be removed forever. You must prepare the mind and body for this change, and plan to take about three days rest for the waste to pass through.

START YOUR TRANSFORMATION

                       

First: Prepare for Your Life Upliftment

· Begin to practice breath observation for five minutes every day.

· Buy flowers to keep in home, where you can have joy in them (if desired). 

. Start clearing out clutter.

​

Second: Prepare for Your Diet Cleanse

· Clear out your pantry and refrigerator of unhealthy foods. Smell food.          Stale fats are extremely unhealthy. Rancid (oxidized) fats damage DNA      (genetic content of the cell); this can be detected by the nose.

· The preferred oil to use is olive oil. It contains mostly monounsaturated          fats, which is much better for our body to process than polyunsaturated or    saturated fats. Use low fat - no fried food diet, and eat smaller portion          size. Maintain hydration, especially first thing in the morning to flush            colon.                                                                                                                      

​

The Focus of our program is to Cleanse, Repair, and Rebuild

 

To prepare for your cleansing diet: 

1) Increase your consumption of fruits and vegetables.

2) Maintain vitamins, minerals, fiber, and natural sugar.

 

Natural sugar is less stressful on the pancreas than table sugar. The pancreas is a gland that responds to stress.

 

Vegetables are low in fat and calories, high in fiber, and full of healthy protective factors. Organic agriculture is said to be free of pesticides sprays and chemicals which support our clean eating.
