4 Great Benefits of “Green” Eating; especially if you’re sick!

healthy lifestyle, holistic, nutrition, personal wellness coaching, wellness, , , , ,

One of the recommendations that people often hear when they are trying to adopt a more healthful nutrition plan is “eat green leafy vegetables”.  There are several benefits to eating a lot of “greens”.

Chlorophyll is a substance found in green plants.

  1. It acts as a blood detoxifier.
  2. This in turn helps increase circulation to your body’s organs.
  3. It is also thought to help reduce offensive body odors.

Super green foods include the young cereal grasses like wheat, barley, alfalfa, rye, oats, kelp, and chlorella. 

4. These super greens have many nutrients to help support your body’s functions including supporting your immune system.

If you are not already doing so, try adding different leafy greens and super greens to your diet to help you regain and/or maintain your health for good.

Adopting a practical, doable, and enjoyable nutrition plan for health is one of the areas in which I give support to my private clients. 

If you are a woman struggling with chronic illness such as autoimmune disorders and ready to invest in yourself for a high level of personalized support to take control of your health, I invite you to make an appointment with me for a Free Overcome Autoimmunity Discovery Call to see if and how I can help you.

How To Practice Gratitude and Help Your Body Heal!

wellness

This morning during my private devotional time I set an intention to be grateful today. Any day can bring its set of challenges which can lead our mindset to a downward negative spiral if we allow it.

It’s important to remember that challenges and victories or blessings can co-exist. We can experience situations that cause us distress and discomfort during the same time frame in which we encounter occasions that bring us joy.

I’m so glad I decided to focus on being grateful this morning because I had to drive into the city today for a meeting for my consulting contract . For the past almost 3 years I have been doing a lot less driving due to mostly working from home since April of 2020.

When I initially left the house I had to come back inside because I realized I didn’t have my car key because I had taken my keys out of my purse when I went out of town over a week ago. I couldn’t remember right away where I had put them so my husband gave me his car key. I’m GRATEFUL he had his key handy so I didn’t have to waste time looking for my keys.

The city is becoming more crowded and there is a lot more traffic now than previously. The slow down in the traffic as I neared my destination started to cause me some distress and I felt like complaining. However, I REMEMBERED MY INTENTION! Instead of complaining I chose to be GRATEFUL that I have a consulting contract that allows me to make an income that contributes to my family’s financial well-being. I also chose to be grateful that I NO LONGER HAVE TO DRIVE INTO THE CITY on a regular basis. THANK YOU LORD!

As I rehearsed my gratitude, I could feel myself calm down and was able to walk into my meeting on time and with a cheerful spirit. When I arrived back home, the sun was shining brightly and the temperature was comfortable. I expressed by gratitude for the sunshine and took a walk with my Terrence (my husband). I have so much for which to be grateful.

It has been shown the negative emotions tend to depress the immune system and positive emotions help to boost or support good immune function. A properly functioning immune system is important for good health, therefore it is a good thing to do what you can to help your body work properly. Practicing gratitude is one way to help you experience positive emotions and support your immune system for good health.

Set the intention to practice gratitude, especially when you are facing difficult challenges. The more you practice, the easier it will be to find something for which to be grateful! It is a good idea to write your gratitude and look back over what you have written when you need to encourage yourself.

The Power of Investing in the Right Community

wellness

Sometimes it can be difficult asking for help, even if you have been trying to accomplish certain goals but facing obstacles. Perhaps it’s a pride thing.

Well, maybe it’s just me who has trouble asking for help. However, as I have continued to “mature” through the years, I have learned that at some point we all need help. It’s better to swallow your pride and secure the resources that will help you get where you want to go.

Over the last few years I have had to reach out to get assistance with my physical health, emotional/mental health, spiritual growth, and business/entrepreneurial ventures. I realize that I am worth the investments made in myself because I am valued by God, my creator.

In order for us to fulfill our God-given purposes we need to do all we can to be our best selves. IT IS OKAY TO GET HELP! Often it is crucial to get the support we need, to not only survive, but thrive.

Earlier this month I had the pleasure of attending the Manifest Your Vision 2023 conference in Florida. This event provided a much needed break and time of relaxation and rejuvenation for me and the other attendees.

I was able to reconnect in person with my business coach-mentor, Rosetta Thurman, and be enlightened by her and the guest presenters. It was great to meet up with my 6 Figure Queen Mastermind Alumni sisters.

A super special bonus for me was meeting my Accountability Partner, Dr. Shola Ezeokoli, in person for the first time. We have been meeting just about once a week by phone for over almost 2 years.

I’m so grateful for having invested in myself, even though I didn’t really want to travel alone, to get valuable support, knowledge, motivation, and encouragement in an environment that felt like “home”!

The Beauty of A Great Community!

wellness, , , , , , , , , ,

I’m so blessed to have connections in different cities and I don’t take the kindness and hospitality of others for granted. Whenever, I am the beneficiary of the generosity of others, it encourages and reminds me to be kind to others as well.

I recently traveled to Florida to attend a conference for women entrepreneurs. While I was looking forward to meeting with the other attendees and learning from the various workshops and activities during the conference, I knew there would possibly be some challenges as it related to eating the way I wanted.

My autoimmune disorders are controlled and have been in remission largely due to my nutrition and lifestyle regimen. It can be a challenge finding the proper foods when you are traveling out of town, staying in a hotel, and don’t have a car.

Often, when dining at a restaurant, I can usually find “sides” to order if the restaurant is not known specifically for being “vegan”, “vegetarian”, or “plant-based” friendly. There were not many choices at the hotel restaurant where I was staying, but I was able to manage okay.

HOWEVER, I was so grateful to be able to reconnect with my friend, Denise, who a few years ago had moved with her husband to the city where the conference was being held. Denise came and picked me up to attend Sabbath church services where her husband is pastor. Then she invited me over to enjoy a home cooked “plant based” ‘Sabbath lunch.

Getting ready to enjoy Sabbath lunch!

But she didn’t stop there. My girl had me fix myself a “to-go” plate. She even gave me stuff to share with my conference roommate. Ya’ll, I had my “to-go” food the next day for breakfast and lunch. It was soooo good too! I’m grateful and so glad I reached out.

I’m reminded of the scripture in James chapter 4:2 that says, ” you have not because you ask not”. Now, James may not have been talking about the scenario I just described but I’m still glad I was not too afraid to get in touch with Denise. She and her husband, Pastor Fred, helped to make my visit to Florida a great experience.

As we move forward in 2023 and beyond, let’s look for opportunities to be kind to others. Also, don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
