This FREE 3 day mini detox answers many of the questions and concerns about DETOX and allows you to slowly implement them into your life.

So many people are not doing any DETOX at all simply because they think it will involve too much immediate change, this mini DETOX is here to show you this does not have to be the case.

Join in on your own, with a friend, with a group of friends, with your family members and learn the little tips, tricks and ideas you can do to immediately start to feel better, cleanse your body, lose weight, clear up your skin, banish hormone issues and more.....just by learning simple little things you can build on that will help to remove some of the toxic buildup.

Sadly so many people do not know that a simple routine of even a ONE DAY DETOX will be better than doing nothing, and when they do the ONE DAY DETOX they actually end up feeling so good they want to continue. So join THE HEALTHY DIVA for this informative FREE 3 day event to help your body get on a simple yet effective path.

FROM THE KITCHEN OF THE HEALTHY DIVA AN INVITATION TO WOMEN OF THE CARRIBBEAN, (for the brothers who are checking out this message please pass it on to ladies who you feel may benefit from this. Also please let me know if you are a practitioner who wants to take part or someone who wants to attend the Men of the Carribbean event).

*please note there are a variety of individuals attending these events and there will be an opportunity to network with the SMALL group that attends...networking is not about handing out your cards to a million people it is about handing out your cards to the right one or two!

Ladies, join me in this class for Carribbean women who want to get their health on track. This workshop focuses on nutrition and the immune system with an emphasis on making fermented veggies (used to boost the immune system, cleanse the colon and brighten skin to name a few benefits). Parts of this event also focus on nutrition and detox and their relationship to prosperity, and the wellness of your reproductive system and breast health with at home detox.

If you answer yes to some of the questions below, this event may be for you or someone you know.

- Do you feel stuck about your health but don’t know where or how to begin moving forward?

- Do you have great starts to new wellness programs but quit either just before you get started or right after?

- Do you make unwise choices about healthy eating and don’t know what to do?

- Do you have individuals in your life that are sabotaging your health efforts?

- Do you ignore your intuition?

In this workshop: Learn why women of colour have higher incidents of illness than other cultures and why they die more. Learn what healthy eating has to do with prosperity….. Learn how to keep your body healthy with effective nutrition tools (including choices about chewing and eating….air). Gain a greater awareness into right thinking attitudes and beliefs about wellbeing.

The rich and varied diet of the carribbean does not take into account poor quality ingredients. Food produced by the giant corporate manufacturers making cloned meats, allow a percentage of fecal bacteria in the food, are primarily genetically modified and contain heavy doses of pesticides just to name a few, all to boost their profits….. This deadly combination is what is attacking the bodies of individuals and we are unaware until it is too late.

Do you suffer from: chronic pain, fibromyalgia, adrenal fatigue, allergies, obesity, bacterial, viral, yeast or fungal infections, parasites, arthritis, diabetes, autism or even cancer– chances are that these symptoms are rooted in a body system that has been damaged over time by inner and outer toxins!

CAFFEINATED DRINKS MAKE YOU FAT!

WHAAAATTT??????

So many people are not aware that their coffee and caffeinated drinks actually can make them fat.

So many studies show caffeinated drinks speed up the metabolism. An accelerated metabolism is not always a good thing. 

Millions of men and women stroll into fitness classes, meetings or start their day with their large cup o’ Joe….if they only knew the real truth.

Studies have shown the effects of caffeine on the adrenal glands, thyroid and hormonal system and in general they end up producing a stress response as the glands are being “overstimulated” increasing cortisol (a stress hormone) levels keeping the body in the flight or fight stage.  

Sadly so many men and women believe a cup of coffee (or three in a super sized cup) to give them a jolt is good, in actual fact it’s wreaking havoc on the body system. The adrenals, thyroid, metabolism etc. just keeps chugging along and eventually slows down in minute unnoticeable amounts….day after day until they just slow down completely, change our metabolism or just burn out altogether, showing up as fatigue, sluggishness, excess tiredness etc.

Being aware of how your food choices affect your whole body is a good thing, a green smoothie to boost your energy before or after a workout would be a better choice. If a food or drink is making you jittery, shaky, angry and cranky maybe it’s not such a bad thing to skip it altogether.

Try going without caffeine for a few days or weeks and see if you are more mellow, peaceful and energized. Don't forget you may experience some symptoms as your body withdraws from the caffeine. If this happens, drink lots of water and fresh fruit juices to flush your system and do deep breathing while telling yourself softly.....and this too shall pass :o)

ORGANIC V NON ORGANIC

As a holistic nutritionist not only have I come up on this questions from clients, I have had this question thrown around with associates as well.

It is not that organic is better than conventional, it is the chemicals, toxins and pollutants used in the farming practices of growing conventional produce that makes choosing organically grown foods better.

Sadly to increase crop volume conventional growers use fertilizers that are not only harmful to the environment but harmful to the human body. These chemicals leach into the produce which is consumed by you and your family......and you are what you eat.

With organic farming less toxic farming practices are used. It is not to say that organic farmers do not use chemicals at all, they just use ones that are less harmful to the end user.....you and your family. Organic farming uses many forms of more sanitized practices that are deemed cleaner and safer for humans and therein the product from organic farming has less chemicals and toxins to pass along to you.

Children have been found to contain higher amounts of specific chemicals in their little bodies used in conventional farming v. children who have been raised eating similar organic foods having none or far reduced amounts.

The Environmental Working Group in the U.S. has put out many articles on this topic and has produced a list of produce we can buy conventional and the list of what it suggests we buy organic.

I hope this has helped inform you on this point, and you understand that eating organic is not better in terms of nutrient density, it is better because your body does not have to work to reduce the toxic load that comes with conventional foods.

Eating organic is about reducing the toxic load we carry in our bodies because of the exposure we face daily,  our food, air , water and environment, if we can eat foods that are affordable and are less toxic why would you not want to?
