Healing with foods

HEALING WITH FOODS

Do you know that good health and happiness begin with you and it is affordable? The keys to optimum health and happiness are both spiritual and physical. These are simple things to apply:

– Eat meals that are filled with balance and essential nutrients especially during this rainy season when we have very high amount of pollutants around.
– Get at least 8 hours of sleep per day – Have 30 minutes beauty sleep during the day. 
– Start your day with few slices of lemon brewed in a cup of hot water. Start every meal with a few slices of pawpaw, mango, banana or watermelon, they will aid digestion.
– Never leave home without breakfast but make it a healthy one – Organic millet, fruits and nuts granola with Greek yoghurt is great, or fill yourself up with banana, blueberry, flaxseed and chia seed smoothie. If banana is not your thing, alternate with pineapple or watermelon.
– Enrich and nourish your body with green vegetables that would build your immune system such as spinach, kale, watercress, cavolo nero, water leaves, ewedu, ugu, etc.
– Steam your vegetables instead of boiling. If you must stew them, put them last in your soup or stew for two minutes.
– Drink ten glasses of clean water with a pH of 7 or slightly alkaline. Your body will love you for it.
– Reduce salt intake or avoid it if you could. It would be great if you could also keep away from monosodium glutamate-processed seasoning.
– Nourish your body with oily fish but not pond-bred catfish. Eat goat meat or organic chicken but all must be moderate.
– Embrace fibre, protein and vitamin rich foods such as black beans, lentils, cabbage and cauliflower swallow.
– Snack on flaxseeds, linseeds, black seeds, and chia seeds with organic Greek yoghurt.
-Do not eat anything heavy after 7pm.

Enjoy good health and happiness. You are worthy of it, and you deserve it. Remember to be active and walk more often.

Glycemic_Index

HEALING WITH FOODS (Weekly Series)

This week on Healing with Foods: Glycemic Index

How much do you know about Glycemic Index (GI) and which food has low or high GI?
If you have high blood sugar or diabetes, you need to read this.

Foods that are high in GI turn to sugar in your blood stream. These foods include white rice, boiled potatoes, white bread and more. Even though these foods produce sugar, the sugar has a ‘rise and fall effect’, because as the sugar is being produced, it is also falling at a level that could lead to extra strain on the body and ultimately lead to several health problems such as diabetes, increased cravings for sweets, altered mood changes, tiredness and cardiovascular diseases.

Low GI foods, on the other hand, help to correct and keep blood sugar stable. Foods with lowest GI are black beans, cannelloni beans, green lentil, wild rice, etc. These low GI foods can prevent and also help you to manage heart diseases and diabetes.

HEALING WITH FOODS (Weekly Series)

New Weekly Series (Weekly Health Nuggets)

HEALING WITH FOODS

This week on healing with foods: Stomach/abdominal fat.

Abdominal fat, if not checked, could lead to serious chronic diseases such as diabetes, stomach cancer, fibroid and many more. Stop wasting money on fake diets and get your fork and knife into a diet rich in zinc, B vitamins and vitamin C.

Do you know that vitamin C intake is one of the most effective ways to accelerate stomach and abdominal fat loss?

Increase capsaicin in your diet; it is a great fat burner.

Be active at home and at work, and do not sit down for more than one hour without standing up or moving around.

Also watch out on when you have your last meal of the day and how much quantity of food you eat.

Please cheer up and put your mind in that size 8 and knockout dress you have always wanted. It is possible.
Blessed weekend to you all. #HealingwithFoods

Cavolo Nero, Kale’s Heartier Cousin

Cavolo Nero, also known as black cabbage, is even more nutritious and has more vitamin contents than kale. This Tuscan origin vegetable, which is now organically grown in Nigeria, is rich in isothiocyanate. Isothiocyanate has been scientifically proven to prevent cancer and suppress growth of tumours, be it fibroid or cancerous growth. The anti-cancer effect of isothiocyanate has been attributed to its ability to eliminate potential carcinogens from the body, reduce DNA damage and facilitate apoptosis (self-destruction of cancerous cells).

As always, because we put health and well-being first, we are bringing this to you. Please, make it part of your salad or add it to your foods so that you can enjoy its numerous benefits as an anti-cancer, antioxidant, weight loss essential, and immune system booster.

Bonus tip: Add purple cabbage to your meals, too.

Summer_fruits_2

Hooray, it’s summer!

Yes, summer has truly arrived even though some parts of the world are currently experiencing heavy rainfall and flooding, some of which is being attributed to climate change. It is no wonder that in U.K, Europe and even Middle East Countries, popular summer songs are being played in popular malls but there are certain things that truly mark the arrival of summer time and holidays: delicious and juicy summer berries such as raspberry, strawberry, blueberries, blackberries, and cherries. We see them grow wild and even on hedges, and of course, not forgetting top on the list Wimbledon Tennis.

Wimbledon cannot be truly Wimbledon without strawberries and proper whipped cream, and for those that drink alcohol, chilled Chardonnay Chablis or white wine. We are in tune because our Organization’s birth started in Wimbledon and not just any part of Wimbledon; Wimbledon village and bay, an urban part of London that has genuine Country side feel about it. What can beat having a walk from the village down the hill to the main shopping area where you have Waitrose with long list of Organic cream, Strawberries and other berries from the Highgroove Farm of Prince Charles whom our Organization recognizes as the Father and Spiritual Leader of Organic Farming and one of the greatest defenders of Mother Earth

The residence of our Father holds something special in the heart of our Founder because it was in that village that she became part of the group of women that demanded from Merton Council to provide allotment for parents and residents to have access to grow natural and organic crops for their children and family, and through the intervention of many environment enthusiasts, which included the Prince of Wales, allotment land was provided and Organic Farming came to the village. This was followed with Saturday Farmers Market where young people and parents enjoyed snacks made from organic farm produce. After that came Jamie Oliver, the Chef who championed the crusade of the use of organically grown food crops for school foods and foods cooked in school kitchens. We must also never forget the breakthrough in managing autistic children with organically grown crops.

Yes, we want to invite you to taste our organically grown summer berries, they taste delicious! and yes, they are affordable. Another great news is that we have creams with lowest calories because we know that summer is when we actually look our best and feel great inside and outside. Also, let us help you lose any unwanted bulge with simple tips. Losing those unwanted bulge without visible stretch marks and loose skins is now possible and you do not need to break your bank and stop eating things you love. We give you the same kinds of foods on lower calories.

Welcome to summer. Eat and glow.

Let Us Know Your Health Challenges. We Can Help!

Integrated health care is the best health management for anyone who wants to live a qualitative and optimum healthy life and not just long life. We strongly believe that prevention should be at the forefront of healthcare, because diseases are preventable. Our lifestyle and environment should be paramount in our mind if we want to live a healthy life.

Talking of the environment, a lot of people stay in a room full of people without opening the windows to let in natural air simply because the weather is cold; instead, they stay in recycled air-filled room for hours.

Malaria, cholera, meningitis, polio, dysentery, hepatitis, and many other diseases could be prevented if we take greater interest in both our internal and external environment. This is what we must individually strive to achieve, and we will feel better and happier for it. We do not need to be rich to live in a clean environment. As the popular saying goes, “cleanliness is next to godliness”, we must always have that at the back of our minds, particularly owing to the fact that our Nation is one of the ‘most religious’ Nations in the World.Lifestyle healthcare empowers us all as individuals to take total control of our health. Without optimum physical and emotional health, monetary wealth cannot in any way give any individual the satisfaction they desire.

The saying “we are what we eat” is actually a scientific fact. Therefore, we must all strive to adopt a holistic, wholesome, organic, chemical-free lifestyle in what we eat and what we apply on our skin. Organic, wholesome, locally-grown and seasonal vegetables and fruits should be our choice diet. Regular physical activity, adequate and quality sleep, and proper stress management should be normal parts of our lives.

We should also adopt a disciplined approach in how often we take antibiotics, alcohol, etc. We should all thrive to build emotional and physical resilience to issues around us and also resist the temptation of falling into the usage of risky substances, but should instead adopt non-drug modalities to prevent, treat, and even reverse lifestyle related chronic diseases.

Going back to natural and organic life should be the norm, because suddenly, the world is now witnessing life threatening diseases that never existed. And the fact before us now is that most people have become resistant to antibiotics due to the consumption of antibiotics available in our livestock products, marine products, and even water, because medical wastes are now being dumped in our oceans and rivers. Our aim is to help people to adopt a healthier lifestyle that could reverse already existing health problems and revitalise damaged vital organs and could also reverse any lifestyle-induced diseases. We believe that the first line of defence against diseases is a change in lifestyle that would lead to a sustainable health, and we are well equipped with the expertise to support individuals find the happiness and good health that they deserve.

Almost all the diseases that are destroying our people are avoidable and reversible. These could be high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol, obesity, gout, ulcer, rheumatism, chronic body pain, metabolic syndromes, heart disease, addictions, and kidney and liver diseases, and many more. We help people adopt qualitative and optimum lifestyle that is sustainable without breaking their banks. We make recommendations that are affordable and adaptable.

At a time when qualitative healthcare is skyrocketing at a high speed, our wellness and optimum health programme is fast becoming the best option and we are proud to say that we have had a sustainable breakthrough in prostate management, fertility treatment, hot flushes, premenstrual health challenges, sexual health challenges, prevention and management of fibroid (which, unfortunately, is becoming a major challenge for our women). We also offer Allergy tests.

It has become necessary and important for us to let people know that there are expert hands available for them. Our Organization boasts of experts that have practices in two of the lifestyle management institutions in the United Kingdom: Hale Clinic, U.K and Health Optimising, UK.

In an industry where people are often just told that they can lose all their body fats, have flat tummies and cure all diseases , we are totally committed to making sure that you have a scientifically tried and tested, evidence-based facts, and support you to reach and achieve optimum physical and emotional health. You can activate your self-healing ability through transformational coaching to create your best of health. Contact us to know how.
