HAPPY NEW YEAR! With the arrival of 2010, what better time than now to think about a new YOU. In fact, this past week, I actually heard people saying "Happy New You!" It really does feel like a time for new beginnings.
Speaking of new beginnings, I want to share with you, that the birth of my new company, Soul Choice Counseling, Ltd. is in process.

Your Face Never Lies
Get a Headstart on your Health
 According to Michio Kushi, the expert in Macrobiotic living, "proper diet is the princiapl soure of our vitality and health; a poor diet is the principle cause of sickness. If our diet does not enable us to respond to changes in the climate and our activity as we develop, then sickness arises."
According to oriental diagnosis, your face can offer you clues as to what is going on inside of your body. They say that those dark circles under the eyes show how well the kidneys are working. Certain lines on your face represent anything from the condition of your liver to your lungs. Even that very large lower lip that some women so desire these days, is not really a positive thing to have. Take a look at this picture of Angelina Jolie. Did you know that your lips are actually the opening to your digestive tract? They are the beginning of the system that runs all the way through you, from top to bottom. And, because of that, your lips can alert you to the health of your intestines. When someone has a very swollen lower lip, it is usually a sign of swollen intestines and a tendency toward constipation. This comes from continued inflammation in the gut, which is most often the result of eating the Standard American Diet, also known as S.A.D. The American diet is one that is heavy on meat, processed, refined and chemical laden foods, sugar, fried foods and high levels of sodium and fat. When you stop to think about it, it is SAD.
A common symptom of what is going on inside the body is dry skin, especially on your face. It really has nothing to do with your moisturizer not working, but is a sure sign that you may be experiencing some level of dehydration. You can start to heal this by drinking at least a liter of fresh clean water each day. Next, it is important that you get the right types and amount of healthy Omega 3 rich fats. And, how often are you eating those beautiful dark green vegetables that look so pretty when you walk into the supermarket? These need to be eaten daily for they are filled with chlorophyll. Please, take a deep breath right now. . . keep breathing. Yes, you can buy powders and pills with promises to bring you that same nutrition, but our bodies were meant to eat real food. Doing this and more, will make your skin the envy of your friends and more beautiful than any skincare product could ever promise. Who wouldn't want that? And, when you eat this way, an extra benefit is that your hair will have more moisture and natural shine to it. Hair is also a great determinant of what you need for your health. For when hair becomes very brittle, you can be sure you are probably dehydrated, something that easily happens in the winter. Some medications will also negatively effect the hair. So, I invite you to start increasing your water intake right now and then watch the changes over the next week or two. You may want to take a before after picture just for fun.
It is such good news to know that a change in your diet towards eating whole, healthy and natural foods can begin the process of inner healing and alter your outer appearance. In other words, a change on the inside, results in a change on the outside. When you make a commitment towards choosing foods that are healthy, you make a commitment towards loving yourself.
I'm sure you knew many of the benefits of eating healthy before you starting reading this article. Yet, despite knowing, if you are like most people, you have any number of reasons why you have not been doing it. Most of my clients tell me it was out of fear, inconvenience, or they no longer knew what they should eat. What is your reason?
If you are ready to start feeling good about yourself, your body and your life as we begin this next decade of the 21st century, I would be happy to speak with you about making healthy choices. Contact me now to arrange an appointment for a consultation. We'll take about an hour to talk about your health, your history and your lifestyle and to discover the direction that what would be best for you. Our bodies are amazing and it is never too late to begin again. No more diets. Perhaps it is time for a healthy tweak in your lifestyle. Your moment is now. Are you ready?
You have the power to choose.
Therefore, you have the power to change. |
