What immediately cames to mind when you viewed the above image of me and Skelly on our winter visualization?
Welcome to my monthly newsletter on bone health!
What does the first image have to do with bone health? When we reduce stress by creating stress busting moments: visualizing, meditating, pausing between activities, getting into nature, taking deep healing breaths throughout the day, letting go of the stresses of our lives (acid), allows the body to balance itself (aklaline). And that simple, but most important activity of your day, plays such a huge role and can't be emphasized enough.
And your Skelly (skeleton) will thank you!

Pearls from Skelly
A Burst of Sunshine - Lemons!
I was chatting it up with Skelly listening to the sage advice my friend has to share, (for those of you who are new to my newsletter, Skelly is our skeleton friend who lives in us all) and the healthy tip that popped up was LEMONS.
Bone health does best in a balanced environment. When we e at foods that contributes to acid in our blood stream; sugars, animal protein, white bread, pastas, artificial sugars such as Splenda, Equal, NutraSweet, Sweet and Low, vs. alkaline vegetables and fruits out bones suffer. Why? Because our body wants to be in balance and it will work hard to be in the acid/akaline balance. When we eat acid based foods our body takes calcium from our bones to balance our body. I've listen to my holistic gynecologist, Dr. Helene Leonetti espouse for years the values of drinking warm water with the juice of a whole lemon. Then my naturopath Dr. Edie Resto, DC, ND, also recommended this elixir after my 5-day cleanse while visiting my sister in Ojai, CA.
One of my clients, Jenny Griffith, Holistic Nurse Practitioner, shared her morning ritual. Just after rising she makes her hot lemon water, using these 15 minutes to set her intentions for the day. This practice is good for everyone (unless you have ulcers). Why? read more
Note that a food's acid or alkaline-forming tendency in the body has nothing
to do with the actual pH of the food itself. For exa mple, lemons are very
acidic, however the end-products they produce after digestion and assimilation
are very alkaline so lemons are alkaline-forming in the body. Likewise, meat
will test alkaline before digestion but it leaves acidic residue in the
body so, like nearly all animal products, meat is very acid-forming.
