  Hello everyone. How did the start of your week go? Mine personally started off with a bit of worry.  Personal things in my life have got me thinking in a state of lack and I felt it mentally and physically. One of the most important lessons that I always talk about is BEING that person that you want to be. This is the way for you to live in the life of your dreams. The mind/brain works by that fact that if I am continuously using negative  emotion, attitude, or behavior, that is going to be creating the lens that I personally see through. Which will shape me to BE the person and my body will reflect that. This is why everyone is different and why everyone has their own personal reality or personality.  So I got a little taste of worry and fearing the worst case scenario. I went to bed worrying about the next day and I woke up with my lower back and joints in major pain. Yes, worry and all other negative emotions reflect in the body in some way, shape or form.

  I think it is safe to say that we all love food. We couldn't last very long without food. Just picture a time when food was scarce and we were hunting and gathering. Once we were able to eat, it probably felt like nothing else mattered. Just super grateful for being able to survive another day because no one knows when the next meal would be. Also I could see that if we had to chase down an animal, gather food for the village, or prepare the crop we were probably not relaxed. It was work that needed blood to be in our muscles to perform the task. We were more in a stressful survival state. When we come to eat, we want to be in a nice, relaxed state to eat. This will allow the blood to be in our internal organs to provide the natural state of digesting. Being grateful for our food can help us get into that relaxed state to get the most out of our meal. Gratefulness while eating has been researched to provide people in getting the most out of their food. Gratitude puts you in a par...

  Hi Natural Health Family! This post will be short and brief. I am going to talk about some key points about how we can help ourselves stay healthy. The topics will be movement, food and the mind.  Movement is essential for us to be and stay healthy. When we move we are able to activate our muscles to promote blood flow and help our bodies be able to excrete waste. Blood flow is important because it is the food for our body’s cells. If blood is not getting to all parts of the body then those areas become deficient and may lead to an illness. Excreting waste is also very important so that our bodies can function properly without holding on to unwanted material. Movement is life and when we don’t move on the outside such as physical activities then our bodies have a hard time moving on the inside such as the flow of waste out of the body. Walking is a great and natural form of movement that everybody should do to promote a healthy lifestyle.  What we eat is also import...
