We all know that surrounding ourselves with positive minded people can impact how we perceive the world around us. Food is no different. It also has energy and carries a certain vibration, which can be positive or negative. The nature of the frequency of the food we eat has an enormous impact on how we feel, behave, and appreciate the world around us. 

 

Whether we try to heal ourselves from a disease/illness or we are just trying to prevent it from happening in the future, we need to keep in mind that what we put in our body is what makes us who we are. Food is not just a nourishment for our physical bodies. It is also nourishment for our mind and spirit. It supports your holistic health.

 

Modern lifestyle factors — like a diet of sugar and refined grains, poor sleep, minimal movement, excess stress and environmental toxins — burden our immune system and make us more vulnebrable to immune dysfunction. 

If our body is constantly in fight or flight stress response, our immune system shots down. Such malfunctioning immune system becomes a fertile ground for infections caused by bacterias, viruses, parasites, fungus, including such culprits as EBV virus, Lyme disease, HPV, etc. which can wrack havoc on your body. Once your immune system starts a reaction to infection, it produces a huge amount of inflammation, creating an environment for diseases to start or worsen. As a result, we are being manipulated into buying products we don’t need, most of which lead us to being dependent on pharmaceutical companies and which turn our lives into chronic illnesses, autoimmune diseases, imbalanced hormones, symptoms that nobody is able to resolve, etc

You don't have to become vegetarian or vegan however, if you replace the animal products and processed foods with nourishing, organic fruits and vegetables, nuts, seeds, and legumes your intestinal flora will start to change. What happens next? You begin to stop craving unhealthy foods and begin to crave the foods that strengthen your body, organs and immune system rather than weaken it. Most of health issues can be resolved just by better taking care of your body. 

 

Following are several tips on how to achieve balance in your body:
