Good Day to you all & Welcome to "Tina Talks Tuesday" <3
Today's blog is inspired by my oldest daughter, who unfortunately was "down with the sickness" yesterday. Many may see this as a not so positive topic, however lets look at it as a reminder that our health is our wealth, and we should be treating the body like the temple it is,with the most pure plant-based products. ;) It appears that many of us have been, or know of someone who has been ill with some form of something this season. So lets shed a little healthy light on this sickness, and see if we can boost our bodies for optimal wellness from this day forth. :D
You are invited and encouraged to leave your recommendations and comments below of some of your tried and true immune system boosters...thanks in advance!
Here are a just a few of my tried and true wellness boosters: (please post questions/comments below)
Staple 1: When sickness does decide to make a pit-stop at my house, Organic Bone-Broth soup is a must. Bone-Broth has a high concentration of minerals to help strengthen the immune system. You can make your own broth (we'll save that for another blog day), or the store bought organic is great too, and then just add whatever fresh organic ingredients feel right to you. Organic chicken, spices, organic veggies, such as carrots, celery, ginger, garlic, and onions typically fall into my pot, and the whole family gets a hearty dose of this immune boosting meal. Yum-Yum!
Staple 2: Watercress~ This peppery leafy ancient green is a shopping list must have. It is considered one of many super foods and is packed with vitamin K, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. It is one of many greens that end up in daily salads, smoothies, or anything that calls out to it. ;) Give it a try and let me know what you think.
Staple 3: Fermented Foods~ This topic will also likely be a future blog topic, but lets just getting it started now since these foods are incredibly beneficial to our health. These probiotic foods contain microflora that create a protective lining in the intestine and shields it against pathogenic factors, such as salmonella and E. Coli. These foods can lead to an increase of antibodies, and a stronger immune system; plus help regulate the appetite, and reduce sugar/refined carb cravings. Here are some common fermented foods to give a try: Kefir, sauerkraut, Miso, Kombucha, pickles, kimchi, raw cheeses, and probiotic yogurts.
Staple 4: Hemp Seeds ~ Another Super Food! You are invited and encouraged to look back to a previous blog done by the creator, Crofton Celentano, called Hemp, Hemp, Hemp. There he highlights many of Hemps marvelous health benefits. Enjoy!
Staple 5: Braggs Apple Cider Vinegar w/ The Mother (ACV) ~ This organic liquid is ultra rich in enzymes, pectin, nutrients, B vitamins, Folic acid, and potassium just to list a few. It promotes digestion, healthy alkaline state, supports toxin removal, heart health, and is rich in malic acid which provides potency against harmful organism.
Staple 6: Love ~ Rest ~ Positivity ~ & High quality H2o Always & Only.
Incorporating these staples on a regular basis will help sustain overall health, wellness, and increase immunity with hopes of reducing your chances of getting "down with the sickness"! As always, talk to your health care professional for overall wellness concerns or questions. ;)
Stay Well <3 Enjoy the rest of your week <3 One Love
