WATER

For those of you who scoff at the idea of filtered water in your home read this....

Today I went to the kitchen to make some raw food goodies for my class tonight IN THE KITCHEN WITH THE HEALTHY DIVA and to my surprise the water I got from the tap was brown...then yellow...then still yellow almost two hours after I checked it (I have not turned it off I want to see how long the yellow colour will stay I just let it run) it's still yellow....less but still yellow.

The reason for this post is simple, there has been a lot of construction in the neighbourhoods in the City this year (I live in an upscale neighbourhood) I do not mention that to seem upity...but I mention it to question if my neighbourhood with it's million dollar homes has this state of water what is there to say about other neighbourhoods that have less tax dollars allocated to it's upkeep.

The City did not post notices, nor did it make a news report...nothing to warn the residents that they would be bathing in, drinking, serving to thier children BROWN/YELLOW WATER is this Walkerton all over again?

I only wash my dishes and do my laundry with City tapwater, I was mortified when I saw two hours later the water was still discoloured but "looked" clear when it was running. How many of us let the water run for two hours BEFORE we hop in to take a shower?

I was sickened at the smell of the water (it was faint but I was able to detect it anyway) and upset that people unlike myself who do NOT have water filters on their shower and drinking source are subjected to drinking and bathing in this filth...who knows why the water was that colour....who knows what's in it.

The manager of my condo said.....he drank this water this am and as I winced when he told me this....I listened as he also stated there was nothing wrong with it....ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

I think he didn't notice the smell etc...that I did and doesn't have a clue uggh, he went on to say he's been drinking city water for years without a problem...his apparent diabetic (over acidic body state does not register with him as an issue...that's the problem people can't connect the dots) he said he checked other units in the building and they were all the same....running yellow water, he concluded the City must have been digging etc. but had no answer for the water issue.

In conclusion I ask you how many times you have wasted money on purchases that you knew were a waste of money.....stop making those frivillous purchases if you can and either save up to get yourserlves some filters or a good fitration system....you're going to need it in the future, the water supply is getting worse! You actually need proper filtration NOW. Please get yourselves some filtration for your water source because as you can see you may not realize you are bathing in dirty water....a lot of disease comes from dirty water and the City isn't going to tell you what you are bathing in, drinking and cooking with and most of all serving to your children!

I went on to make my raw food goodies for my class with my filtered water...they came out tasty, yummm.

VITAMINS, MINERALS NUTRIENTS & YOU

o.k. lets start with the basics!


Do you know what you need in the way of minerals to “run” your body daily?

If you workout, if you are sedentary, if you have a condition you are working on you need the right amount of vitamins and minerals. If you do not have these in adequate amounts you will start to feel deficient, weak, agitated irritated etc. and the craving monster will come on strong!

So many people do not know what nutrients they need to either attain wellbeing or balance their bodies to maintain wellbeing.

So much has been taken out of our food supply that people are being fooled into thinking that the little nutrients that are gained from the small amount of “healthy” foods they eat is enough. Even taking multivitamins is suspect. Are the vitamins pure, who makes them, are they made with fillers, are they easily digested and bio available?.

I believe in using pure food to nourish, build and rebuild the body with a small addition of the right kind of supplements. People are taking supplements once a day thinking this will be enough for the whole day, we use and burn those nutrients up quickly and need replenishing through the day using food source vitamins and minerals that are readily and easily absorbed and available.

If you want to know more hit me up and join in on my FREE ONLINE three day mini detox and cleanse.

Also find out what you can do to check the absorption rate of your vitamins and why you should know about sea and trace minerals, healthy omegas and ...water as a nutrient.

Don't forget the WOMEN OF THE CARIBBEAN group event on July 28th email debhealth@aol.com to get on the list there are still a few spots left. Learn about healthy digestion and how it can make the difference in your healthy living as a WOMAN OF THE CARIBBEAN.

FROM THE KITCHEN OF THE HEALTHY DIVA AN INVITATION TO WOMEN OF THE CARIBBEAN

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!
