My last post I had mentioned that I would be posting about gas and how colonics can help - well, I actually already WROTE that post one post earlier! Oops!
Well, the truth is, I wanted to have an excuse to post that great picture - you know, the "do not fart" sign?
Here is another one, to the right of this.
leafy greens beautifully. It is a great first juicer and very easy to clean. I have heard the twin gear juicers are even better, so when we eventually upgrade, it will be with the Samson Kempo Juicer, which I have heard is excellent.

I promise it is fascinating reading, especially Matt Monarch's excellent article on the Blood Gas Theory and why colon hydrotherapy is essential for taking your health to a whole new level, which I am all bout!
For more in-depth explanation of the Blood Gas Theory, you must read Mr. Monarch's excellent book, Raw Success.
So now onto diet.
There are so many books out there telling you about the BEST way
to eat. I truly believe that if you can tune
into your body, than your body will let you know what is GOOD, and what is NOT GOOD, or as I prefer to call it, "NOT OPTIMAL".
This does not mean that if you have a craving for salty chips your body needs it. Uh uh. Sorry about that. It's a good story you can feed to yourself but it is not true. Usually the body will crave imbalanced food choices if you are constantly feeding it imbalanced food - such as processed starches, sugars, packaged food, fried food, etc. It is a vicious cycle that CAN be broken. I have done it. And I feel better than ever - and am much more sensitive to the NOT OPTIMAL food, wh
ich for me now is anything processed - even a rice cracker doesn't sit so well.
For me, I am discovering that SIMPLE WHOLE FOODS, (NOT the store) are what
my body, mind and spirit thrives on and enjoys. My body seems to love raw fruits and vegetables the most, with small amount of nuts and seeds.
My husband and I start our day with water with juice from half a lemon (to cleanse the liver) and then shortly after that we juice a lovely GREEN JUICE with our Omega Juicer. I love this juicer - it is a single auger juicer that juices

To name a few:
1. Juicing helps you absorb all the nutrients from the veggies
2. Juicing allows you to consume optimal amount of veggies in an efficient, easy to digest manner
3. Juicing allows for plenty of VARIETY.

Occasionally I get harried in the morning, and that is when I whip up a heaping tablesppon of SUPER GREEN FOOD with water. Sometimes I have the green mix with a green juice, too, for the added benefits of what is in the green powder, which usually has a base of barley grass, wheat grass, chlorella, etc, depending on the brand. I like to switch them up from time to time. You can see a wonderful assortment of Super Green Food Powders HERE.
The green juice tides me over, and then later we typically have a GREEN SMOOTHIE, of which I gave a few recipes in my last post. I often add soaked CHIA SEEDS to my smoothies for extra protein, fibre and hydrating properties, and often add a nice creamy dollop of coconut oil to further my energy.
This combo stabilizes my blood sugar and can keep me going all day, and my tummy is SOOOOOOOO happy!
Okay, I want to write more but my body is telling me to get off the computer and let my eyes (and hands) rest.
I am always open to any questions and comments!
In light!
