Hello, 2019 and the beginning of a new year. I, personally, hate 'new year's resolutions", but I do love to look at a new year as an opportunity to begin anew efforts to make my life better in as many ways as I can think of.
I have been thinking of fasting as another way to address my chronic pain. Many who write about fasting claim that it will help with pain by inducing your body to autophagy (you can look that term up). Basically it refers to the body breaking down old cells and replacing them with new cells. The claims are that intermitent fasting will also do the job, however, I have inadvertantly been practicing intermitent fasting for years with no relief of my chronic pain. So there you go. I can also make allowances that every body is different, therefore, as with everything, I suggest that you try it for yourself and see if it does help. This is the only way to see if it is something for you. I am contemplating a 72 hour fast to see if that helps with the pain.
Detoxing shows another promising way to decrease chronic pain and as a side benefit, get rid of a few extra pounds of fat. With all the toxins in our food and environment, it makes sense to 'detox". I am just now studying the best way to do just that.
I am sure there are many ways that are equally as effective. One such option just arrived in my email created by the Green Smoothie Girl. I watched her mini masterclass 3 videos and they were interesting. Most of the knowledge I already knew, but she does put it together in a very organized and easy to understand way. I would consider joining her class myself if it weren't for the timing.
A 26 day detox twice a year is recommended. It is also recommended that you be at home for those 26 days. As I am looking to travel soon, now might not be the best time to for me to get involved with this. I want to set myself up for success not failure.
So our Detox Green Smoothie guru Robyn Openshaw puts out that detox is much better than diet to get into shape and I whole heartedly agree with her. It makes so much sense. Sick and skinny is no better than fat and sick! Detox does look like it would help lead to being healthier. I am anxious to give it a try. If you are interested in the 26 day detox with Robyn her website at www.greensmoothiegirl.com hop on over there and see what she has to offer. I like that she has a lot of free information. I do not make anything at this time if you visit her site, but I do think it will be well worth your time.
The other important thing a detox addresses is constipation. This is not talked about a lot but is a huge issue when it comes to our health. In fact it is such a big topic I think I will leave it for next time so that I can address the issue in depth.
Happy New Year to all,
Take charge of your own health and be healthy happy and wise! Determine to learn more everyday about how you can be the healthiest you possible!
Till next time,
Health-nut
