In this blog I want to touch on a somber reality that affects so many of us. It is my hope that amidst the anxiety and stress I can bring knowledge and hope that can lead you out of the darkness and into an empowered state of being.
Unfortunately the statistics on cancer rates are staggering. The reality is that 1 in 4 deaths in the US are due to cancer. Along with this sobering truth, the average person holds more than 700 contaminants that become stuck in their bodies wreaking havoc, literally causing disease and other glitches that affect the system. The good news is that we are beginning to truly understand why and how this is happening, which empowers you and I! We can take action to support ourselves in creating optimum health. The following blog will share 5 simple solutions to help you create vibrant health!
I had a friend, Sam call me today in a state of panic because he had just gone to visit a dear friend who had recently been diagnosed with cancer. His friend was a strong, fit and seemingly healthy individual who lived a lifestyle that incorporated health conscious choices much better than the average American. The new found diagnosis was perplexing and frightening on so many levels. Typical to many individuals who learn that someone they know or love has become sick, there were questions and anxiety associated with how Sam was living his own life, the concern for the foods he was eating and an extreme fear of getting sick. Sam actually said, “I am afraid to eat and I don’t know what foods are going to be ok.” This is a common fear and understandable in today’s day and age. We all know people who have been impacted by cancer or other diseases. We now have a greater understanding for the toxins in our environment and our food that are wreaking havoc on our bodies. It is important to gain an awareness of the affect of these toxic substances, what they are, where they are, and how they become stuck in our bodies. You need simple solutions to help not only eliminate these toxins, but to eliminate the fear. There are things that you can do to empower you and help you live a healthy and vibrant life. Let’s look at five simple solutions that will help you be proactive in creating great and optimum health.
1. Toxic Reality
The first step is to gain an understanding and appreciation for toxins. In my Fresh Start Wellness and Healthy Home Programs I call it the what, where and how. First, become aware of what toxins are. Second, understand where toxins are lurking in your life. Unfortunately they are in the food we eat, the water we drink and the air we breathe. When you begin to understand this reality you can then take action on how to remove the toxins that are in your life and inadvertently in your body.
2. Deep Breath
The second simple solution is to take a deep breath. Know that just by becoming aware of where toxins are lurking in your life, you automatically will make healthier selections. Your awareness will allow you to begin making choices that can create better health and well-being. It is in the small steps that we are able to transform our lives. Each day choosing to acknowledge your awareness and make healthy choices based on reality gives you the ability to design your inspired life. An inspired life is about being empowered, open to the truth and welcoming new insight into our lives. This new knowledge gives you the power of choice. The power of choice helps you make daily decisions that affect the big picture of your life.
3. Course Correct
Even when we are making healthy choices on a consistent basis there are going to be times in everyone’s life when we might choose to go out for a meal in a restaurant or imbibe at a party- this is natural. Don’t beat yourself up about making a few unhealthy choices as long as you’re able to course correct and make more healthy decisions than unhealthy ones.
4. Eliminate Toxic Blocks
Lastly it’s really important to make sure that your digestive system is functioning optimally. Our digestive system is the highway that allows the toxins that are in our bodies to move on out! It is essential to make sure that there are no blocks on this highway and that any toxins that we may breathe in or ingest can be eliminated naturally.
5. Sweat
Eliminating toxins in other ways can be exceptionally beneficial as well. If you go out for a night and enjoy a few cocktails or some standard American food you might want to go to the gym the next day and make sure that you get in a vigorous exercise where you’re able to sweat profusely. This also helps to flush out toxins from your system.
Take the time to understand the what, where and how toxins are lurking in your life. This knowledge will empower you to make the best choices to help you live a long, vibrant and healthy life!
