Health and well-being are forefront in the minds of many these days, and one way that some are improving their health is through taking supplements of colloidal minerals. Our soils used to be rich with minerals of all kinds. Heavy farming and overuse of our soils has left them depleted – meaning we no longer get the minerals our bodies need in our daily diet. Our bodies need at least 60 different minerals for optimal health; however, most commercially grown foods only have about 8. Some 45 different minerals are added to dog and livestock food, but not to people food! Our animals are treated better than we are. According to Dr. William A. Albrecht, Chairman of the Department of Soils at the University of Missouri; "A declining soil fertility, due to a lack of organic material, major elements, and trace minerals, is responsible for poor crops and in turn for pathological conditions in animals fed deficient foods from such soils, and that mankind is no exception." One way of addressing this deficiency is by growing organic fruits and vegetables and supplementing the actual soil with minerals – however, many of us have neither the time or space to do this. Most commercially available fertilizers for our gardens contain only 8 minerals, so finding the right preparations to do this is also difficult. Luckily, most health food stores and natural medicine shops offer reasonably priced colloidal minerals for supplementation. In chemical terms, colloidal refers to any ground up material in a suspension; in the case of minerals, this means the minerals are suspended in a liquid in such a manner to make absorption easier. It is important to purchase your supplement from a reputable vendor, and it should be PLANT DERIVED colloidal minerals as this mimics what your body is used to processing. Some unscrupulous companies have been caught simply grinding up rocks and putting them in colloidal suspension – then selling them to unsuspecting consumers. This will not be absorbed properly by your body. Some signs of mineral deficiencies include acne, diabetes, digestive problems, osteoporosis, depression, cramps, heart disease and cardiovascular problems, cancer, and liver dysfunction. Any Ontario wellness specialist or naturalist will agree that, all of us will live longer with proper mineral supplementation. All we need is a small amount of colloidally suspended minerals each day to address this problem, which is hassle-free and relatively inexpensive.

Have you ever experienced any of these following a meal: bloating, diarrhea, gas, constipation, heartburn, cramping or nausea? If you have any of these symptoms more frequently than you'd like, you might need to take some serious steps to get your digestive system functioning at its best. Few people are aware that there are seven simple yet effective steps that can make all the difference to their digestive health: 1. Eat foods rich in fiber Fiber is instrumental in ensuring your digestive system runs smoothly. It's a food with a surprisingly large range of digestive health benefits - it helps the body eliminate waste, lowers cholesterol, feeds healthy bacteria and reduces your risks of developing irritable bowel syndrome and colon cancer too. Find your servings of fiber in fruit, vegetables, nuts, beans and whole grains. 2. Eat good amounts of fish Fish contain omega-3 fatty acids which are hailed as being highly beneficial to the digestive system. The essential fatty acids can improve certain digestive problems because of their special anti-inflammatory properties. Choose to eat three to five portions of fish rich in this nutrient each week. 3. Cut out fried and high-fat foods Reduce the amount of fried and fattening foods that you eat. These are hard for you to digest and put extra pressure on your digestive functions. Other processed foods may contain ingredients which irritate the stomach. Instead, choose organic foods when possible - they are simpler and kinder to your system. 4. Take probiotics Probiotics are good bacteria that live in the gastrointestinal system. They maintain its health by keeping bad bacteria at bay and creating a good harmony in your digestion's ecosystem. They have been known to help ease conditions like gastroenteritis, irritable bowel syndrome and inflammatory bowel disease. Your probiotic levels will fall dramatically if you are under stress or taking antibiotics. Take a supplement of probiotics for the best support. Doses found in yogurt are minimal at best, and virtually none in flavored yogurts. 5. Develop good eating habits It's important to chew your food well to help it break down sufficiently before it reaches your stomach. Chewing is actually the first stage of digestion as enzymes in your saliva break down carbohydrates in the mouth. Other good practices which support your digestion is taking enough time to eat without rushing, avoiding large meals and avoiding eating a meal before you go to bed so your stomach can digest its food while you're still upright. 6. Exercise regularly Exercise is great for boosting your body's natural functions and can improve the natural rhythm of your digestive system, too. It is also great for helping your food move through the digestive tract. 7. Choose healthy hydration Caffeinated drinks like coffee and acid-producing fluids like soda can cause stomach aggravation, especially to sensitive stomachs. Instead, drink lots of water which prevents and alleviates constipation and generally eases the digestive process. If you liked this article, tell all your friends about it. They’ll thank you for it.

Rachel Clarkson New Collaborator Registered: Oct 2009 Post Number: 6 Nov 25, 2009 - 20:41    Reprogram Your Mind: How to Always Stay Positive! It may come as a surprise, but sometimes the cause of pain and discomfort in the body can stem from an unhealthy or burdened mind. Stress, emotional upset and negative thought patterns can wreak havoc on the body's nervous system, which in turn can affect the organs, muscles and almost every other part of the body. Ask any good Ontario chiropractor and they are sure to agree that nurturing a positive mind can have a great impact on the body's nervous system and therefore the rest of the body. It may sound too good to be true, but following these simple tips could be the answer to transforming your health: 1. Choose what you focus on Recognize you are in control of where your mind's energy is spent. Make a determined effort to focus on positive things and don't allow yourself to dwell on negative emotions or thoughts. When you find yourself thinking negatively, come up with ways to redirect your thought patterns, e.g. by focusing on a goal, happy memory or something you are grateful for. 2. Positive affirmations Plant positive seeds in your mind's soil. Identify positive affirmations you want to believe, e.g., 'I have the power to change my circumstances' or 'I am a valuable person', and repeat them to yourself whenever you can. Soon, you will find yourself acting on what you allow yourself to believe. 3. Look for the positive in every situation. Lost your job? Perhaps your job loss will help you find the career you've always wanted. Been dumped by your boyfriend? Maybe you're better off without a boyfriend that doesn't appreciate you. Turn a negative into a positive and find the good in bad things that happen to you. Ask yourself what you can take from your bad experiences to turn them into events that make you stronger or a better person. Remember - we can't determine our circumstances, but we can determine how we react to them. 4. What are you grateful for? Keep a journal of things you are grateful for. Take the time each day to jot down what you have valued from your day or what you are thankful for. Do the same about yourself. What are your personal strengths? What do you like about yourself? Focus on and remind yourself of these reasons to be happy everyday and you're sure to chase those negative vibes away. 5. Be inspired! There are sure to be people who have experienced the same negative events or circumstances that you might have encountered. If you find your particular experiences hard to deal with, buy a book or audio cassette of someone who has walked in your shoes but overcome their problems. Realize there is always hope in any situation and be inspired to go beyond your circumstances. 6. Reminisce Think about times in your life when you have felt the happiest or most positive. Allow yourself moments to reminisce about these times and put a smile back on your face. Believe that more of these times can be created in your future.

Rachel Clarkson New Collaborator Registered: Oct 2009 Post Number: 7 Nov 28, 2009 - 14:23    The Best Natural Ways to Detox Your Body! If you believe your body deserves the best care possible, it's a good idea to consider undergoing a detox several times a year. Detoxing allows your organs to rest and gives your body a chance to concentrate on eliminating those nasty toxins which accumulate in your system. You might choose to detox for a couple of days or even for a week. Rule of thumb: the longer your detox, the more effective your results. Whichever your preference, detoxing doesn't have to be a chore. We've found the simplest and most natural methods for helping your body detox. 1. Breathe well It's believed that up to 70% of the body's toxins are eliminated through breathing. Many of us have developed unhealthy breathing habits that prevent our respiratory system from working at its best. To counteract this, learn good breathing practices such as taking deep breaths that fill your belly and then releasing slowly. Take the time to breathe well every day until it becomes a new habit. 2. Water Drink one to two liters of good water each day. This means there is enough to keep you hydrated while flushing out toxins in your system. Some people undertaking a detox may choose to drink only water for the first couple of days, or other fluids like fruit or vegetable juices to provide nutrients too. In some countries, it is normal to spend a day drinking only water to detox. 3. Fiber Eating plenty of fiber is a good way to help cleanse and kick-start a sluggish digestive system. Toxins that accumulate in this area are picked up by the fiber and then eliminated because the body cannot use fiber as a nutrient. Good foods that contain fiber are most vegetables, fruits and grains like whole wheat bread and brown rice. 4. Exercise Exercising works in three major ways to help you detox. It boosts and drives your bodily functions (including its ability to detox), it makes you sweat a lot which helps the body release toxins through the pores and it is also a great stress-reliever - stress being another factor which creates a build up of unhealthy toxins in the body. 5. Saunas Taking a sauna makes the body sweat and opens up your pores - a great way to relax and detox at the same time! Note – Infrared saunas are the best saunas for detoxing. 6. Eliminate processed foods Processed foods contain a lot of unnatural ingredients that can be harmful to our bodies. Some examples are processed sugars, hydrogenated fats, preservatives and additives. Choose organic foods when possible and eat plenty of fruit and vegetables. Try eating some 'super-foods' too, e.g., blueberries, spinach, avocados, and eggs, which are bursting with disease-fighting antioxidants. 7. Cleanse your liver Your liver is the main organ which functions to detoxify the body. It makes sense to take good care of it too. You can do this by drinking herb infusions like dandelion root and burdock which are said to be cleansing to the liver. Note: It is always advised to discuss any detoxification process with your Ottawa wellness specialist or doctor beforehand. I always like to stress how important it is to do the right thing, in the right order, and at the right time, especially when it comes to detoxing. When detoxing is done wrong you will be worse off, guaranteed. If you liked this article, tell all your friends about it. They’ll thank you for it.
