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!

TAKE THE 100 MILE CHALLENGE
No beer! No bread! No SAD food! No idea what you’re getting into? That’s what the participants of this event being held on May 30th in Burlington, Ontario may face!
In our adaptation of the 100 mile challenge, we will bring together like minded people (chiropractors, alternative and holistic practitioners and supporters) who will launch their challenge in a “Barn in Burlington”. The event will see everyone network with each other, share their resources, contacts and secrets to success when it comes to making the 100 mile challenge work for them.
While it’s like what the residents of one small town will face in Food Network Canada’s entertaining new prime time reality series, “The 100-Mile Challenge.” In this provocative, dramatic and extreme social experiment, they turn their lens on six families who vow to eat only food found within one hundred miles for one hundred days.
Who will be inspired? Who will cheat? Will any of the families make it to the end?
One thing’s for certain – the 100 Mile Challenge pushes participants to the edge – and with no coffee! Will our “Barn in Burlington” participants issue the challenge to others in the community? Will they survive? Will they be healthier?
It’s been scientifically proven that good health is a result of a good diet…chiropractic adjustments hold better, cranial sacral treatments last longer, Reiki healings are more effective. AND, you look and feel better, your eyes sparkle and you have more energy.
Alexi Bracey a “Health Educator and Raw Food Chef” will lead the way. Donna Messer will be the facilitator and the connector. Donna and her team will document the day and record the pledges. The event will be filmed and posted on YouTube – who knows? We might even be picked up by the Food Network!
Join us, for a memorable afternoon in a serene setting at the “Barn in Burlington” on Sunday, May 30, 2010 from 12 PM to 4 PM. Come network, share and connect. Pledge your support, and accept the challenge. A Raw Food Lunch will be served. Cost is $50 in advance as capacity is limited.
The 100 Mile Challenge will take participants in to September and the Labour Day weekend!
Contact Alexi for details.

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)
