#27 A Healthy Lifestyle Is A Goal In Itself

Welcome to the Cleanse & Fitness home remedy detox program #27 :-)


Always drink plenty of water (if you can't drink a gallon a day, then stay hydrated to avoid being thirsty)

Please let your friends know about this blog :-)

My day begins:
1) my new liver detox (ph balancer) on an empty stomach first thing when i wake up: in a cup, put 1 tsp of baking soda, 1 tsp of organic molasses, 1/2 lemon, 4 sprinkle dashes of powdered cayenne pepper, 1 cup of water (or alkaline water)
2) Breakfast:
Gluten free rice cake pizzas
Ingredients: gluten free rice cakes (can be purchased at sprouts health food store, homemade tomatoe sauce (recipe listed in post #16), spinach, black beans.
Preparation:
Brush extra virgin olive oil on your gluten free rice cakes, layer with tomato sauce, spinach, & black beans. Leave in the preheated toaster oven for 5 to 8 minutes and niam niam. So delish!
3) snack: in the nutri-bullet, i blended this together - 
Almond milk, kale, brocolli, celery, swiss chard, parsley, gluten-free chocolate protein powder
4) organice green tea time:
5) workout of the day:
Ran around once at Pasadena Rose Bowl :-)

6) Lunch: 
All organic
Brown Rice pasta with homemade tomato sauce (raw tomato sauce posted in post #16 :-)
Homemade raw green salad which has red leaf lettuce, spinach, swiss chard, celery, brocolli, garlic, tomato, bell peppers, avocado, garbanzo beans, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, tempeh, cauliflower, green onion, & cilantro (dressing was lime & extra vriging olive oil)
7) genmaicha green tea & seaweed time :-)
8) Had some ginger tea before going to bed. But before that, I went to see the Lone Ranger & I liked it. I thought it was quite comical :-). 

9) This is the reason why I don't drink cow's milk. I only drink either organic almond or coconut milk.
Cow's milk is the number one reason why most women have ostheosporosis 
10) I eat all these & let me tell you, my immune system is stronger than ever & I am able to maintain my weight under control :-)
11) So true. My salads are bigger than me sometimes. LOL! Just kidding, but I am eating every two hours (in small meals that is, but i'm eating all day :-)
12) I have a small case of alopecia, so it's crucial for me to maintain a micro-biotic diet. My hair is growing back, plus my stress level is under control, so that helps even more. 
Those unfortinate ladies (& males) who have an extreme case of Alopecia, I wish doctors would tell them that by changing their diet to an organic micro-biotic one, their hair could possibly grow back. My Alopecia is areata (a very small case) & when I get strict with my eating habits into healthy ones, it grows back. Almost all auto-immune diseases can be reversed if the body is given the right phytonutrients to help the immune system stay balanced. 
Ad for me, this time around, it was stress thay flaired up my alopecia, so guess what? (Unecessary stress, that is. Challenging, enganging stress I thrive on, but negative stress I don't do well anymore - when I was younger I was a 'any-stress basher' - but my body has finally told me 'slow down, otherwise I can't help yoi anymore'.)
 It's been too long & now I have consistently take care of my health thru eating healthy, exercising, and working on combating the negative stress that this L.A. fast life sometimes crosse pur paths; may I suggest doing some Kundalini meditation/yoga. That has helped metremendously :-) 
13) I know what I'm gonna make either tomorrow of the next day. Niam niam :-)
14) Yum.. I know I was forgetting something. I'm getting some beets for my green juices tomorrow :-)

#7 A Healthy Lifestyle Is A Goal In Itself

Welcome to the Cleanse & Fitness home remedy detox program #7 :-)


Always drink plenty of water (if you can't drink a gallon a day, then stay hydrated to avoid being thirsty)

Hi there, I was reading an article about how the general average american eats only 5 percent vegetables and fruit, another 5 percent depend only on starches (i.e. potatoes) , 30 percent eat non-organic animal products, & the other 60 percent eats processed goods (90 percent of which have genetically modified organisms -GMO's).

I don't have to put it any other way, that the less greens (raw vegetables and fruits) that your body eats, the more prone you are to diseases & ailments like auto-immune disorders like cancer, alopecia (which is what i have & that's one of the main reasons i can't cheat on what i put in this mouth anymore), lupus, multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, and there are more than 80 auto-immune diseases. These diseases can be corrected with a simple little change. Your diet.

Phyto-nutrients (found in dark green leafy vegetables and all green vegetables) are medicine to fighting a lot of the chronic diseases that americans have. 
Almost all disease that exist is caused by mal-nutrition (processed foods - packaged/canned, non-organic meats, etc). 

Other health issues caused by the typical american diet is being over-weight or obesity. What happens is that when you eat processed foods, the body gets inflamed because it's a sign of an allergic reaction? An allergy is a disorder of hypersensitivity of the immune system. So the result are an inflammatory response which can vary from uncomfortable to dangerous. Ever wonder why you get bloated after eating some canned food, or a meal that came from a package, or from a meal your mom made used from unnatural & un-fresh  ingredients. When you get bloated, that's an allergic reaction, and that's the beginning if not continual sign of disease already there or disease to come.
If you are planning to have children, change your diet to a healthy one so that you don't pass on a disease cause by your not-so-wise eating habits. Or if you already have children and are starting to educate yourself on eating healthy & exercising, encourage & educate your kids to follow in those healthy habits.

Anyhow, this is how my day went & it's not over yet.
1) drank my liver cleanser (glass of water, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, 4 shakes into the water of cayenne pepper.
2) breakfast: green salad with parsley, kale, beets, garlic, green olives, bitter flower peddles, squeezed lemon & 1 table spoon of xtra virgin olive oil.
3) snack: green drink (spinach, kale, celery, carrots, apple, banana, blueberries, quinoa, chia seeds, flax seeds, chlorophyll, bee pollen, wheat grass, green powder, protein powder, coconut oil, egg white, almond milk, Carnitine, glutamine, pumpkin seed, parsley, strawberries.
4) rehearsed flamenco
5) snacked on raw seaweed with brown rice
6) green drink again
7) later on had another green drink & had some romain lettuce wraps (stuffing had: hummus, garlic, avocado, baked sweet potato).
8) nap time was nice
9) think i'll go take my co-workers latin jam workout class (also has resistance training fused with latin dance jams. This was my class, but after a while, I passed it on to her because she had always wanted to teach so why not let her take over. She's great at it ;-). I'm gonna get my lil sweet sweat on :-).
In this picture, I'm at the farmer's market getting my ruffage on :-)
Check out this link here about auto-immune disease. Also, know that most doctor M.D. training doesn't come with a knowledge of nutrition studies:
