I used to dread the time of year from Fall through Winter. I used to get colds, aches, pains, and sometimes the worst thing of all - bronchitis. How miserable is that?
I'd have to:
Stay in bed
Feel awful with no energy
Not do anything except get up to pee and maybe drink some water if I could find the strength
We all see it happen every year. And you never know if you'll be the victim of the suffering that comes from the flu.
Many people take precautions. They wash their hands many times a day. They stay away from people who are sick. They try to stay out of crowded places so they won't catch something. Does this sound like you?
Spiritual seekers say that if you believe in a flu season, you will get the flu, because what you believe is what you attract in your life. Well, I believe this now, too. So I try not to think about getting sick during the winter months. (Except now when I'm giving you my secrets for staying healthy.)
I started doing something different, but not just at this time of year. I do it all the time. I add antioxidants and alkaline foods to my diet.
"What are antioxidants? you might ask. "And what kinds of foods do you eat? Antioxidants are powerful defenders against disease. Dietary antioxidants are vitamins A, C, E, and K, and other things with funny names like glutathione, lipoic acid, coenzyme Q-10, and selenium. They can really boost your immune system to fight viruses. You can get all of these disease fighters by eating a variety and an abundance of vegetables, leafy greens, and low-sugar fruits. You can also find these antioxidants in a good quality supplement. But remember, supplements only supplement a good diet.
So now for the diet.
Ever heard of alkaline foods? These are foods that keep your body alkaline rather than acidic, so the bugs in our environment don't have a chance to grow in your body and make you sick.
What are they? Nothing more than vegetables, leafy greens, and low-sugar fruits - the same foods that provide antioxidants. Certain grains, nuts, and seeds such as quinoa, amaranth, spelt, almonds, pine nuts, and flax, chia, and hemp seeds also help keep your system alkaline. When you add more of these foods to your diet, you get to kill the bugs and enjoy the added benefits of a healthier, more alkaline system. Bugs don't like living in an alkaline environment in your body. How great is that?
The bottom line is this:
Eat lots of veggies, greens, and low-sugar fruits.
Drink lots of alkaline water.
Buy yourself some pH drops to add to your drinking water. A 2 oz. bottle of highly concentrated Puriphy will last 4 to 6 months.
So there you have it - Keep the flu away, fill your body with antioxidants, and eat alkaline foods every day. To your health!
Eat Healthy. Be Healthy.
