How often do you eat for comfort or overindulge?
When you feel sad? After you had an altercation with your spouse? You have to be particularly careful; this tends to lead to food addiction remarkably quickly. After eating, you will feel worse than before. Please don’t try to numb your feelings with food; it never works. Realizing you just ate a box of cookies will also lead to resentment and anger. Taking a walk to clear your mind or simply having an open discussion will make more sense and does not harm your body. When you feel stressed out? The junk we eat when we feel stressed out does pack a punch! Some of the foods we choose are often sugar, fat, and flour. Something that will help with stress situations is to say: STOP! Breathe for a couple of minutes and take a break from life. I used to give myself a time out. Taking a couple of minutes to yourself and listening to relaxing music can make you feel better. My number one tip on dealing with stress is cleaning. Start cleaning your house! You see, frustration and stress just seem to melt away. A nice cup of hot herbal tea and exercise is truly a healthy solution to managing stress. When you go out for dinner with friends? The best approach is to take your time. Don’t try to eat everybody under the table; it’s not a smart idea trying to keep up with your husband or other people, period. Take your time with eating, put the fork and knife down once in a while and chew thoroughly. You already know this fact I’m about to tell you, but I will say it anyway, (just try to stop me!) So here it goes, eat slower so you can eat less! In other words, your brain needs about 20 minutes to register fullness and satisfaction. It’s not your brains fault that you can empty a box of cookies in as little as 5 minutes. If fattening and toxic foods are your choice of “drug”, at least eat slowly to consume less of it. On bad days, I could inhale a family-size bag of chips without thinking about the consequences (and the consequences always come, don’t they?). However, eating steamed or raw means eating fewer calories and more nutrients because raw food takes a whole lot of time to chew. I’m not kidding, have you tried to take a bite of an apple and swallow it without chewing? Impossible! Fresh produce contains colon-friendly fiber and waste-clearing water for a remarkably low calories count, which our system loves.

Juice Fasting Maven Monika Baechler 9/8/2015 0 Comments What is FastingFasting (juice fasting) is a temporary abstinence from solid foods and addictive substances like alcohol, coffee and drugs. Fasting is for therapeutic or even for religious purposes. Fasting (juice fasting) will support your body by resting the digestive system and reliving pressure on your circulation. As soon as you put solid food into your stomach, you will stop fasting and cleansing. Fasting doesn't work if you cheat with small bites here and there. You see, nature is the true healer of disease! Nature heals through one process – DETOXIFICATION THROUGH FASTING. By fasting and detoxification, you can cure all diseases because every disease has ONE SINGLE cause – TOXIC WASTE ACCUMULATION which leads to STAGNATION. Why is Juicing Important? Did you know that your body can't get to the nutrients from vegetables and fruits because it's encased in fiber? Some 90% of the nutrients in produce we eat are eliminated with the vegetable fiber as it passes through the body. The most valuable things in life – like the vital part of fruits and vegetables are the most difficult to reach because they are deep within the fibers. The reason juicing and juice fasting is imperative to our health is because the juicer is separating the fiber from the juice, making the vitamins and minerals easily available to our body, where they can be used entirely in the nourishment and regeneration of the cells and tissues, glands and organs of our body. Our digestive system can absorb juice from juicing within minutes without weighing down the gastrointestinal tract. Wrong eating habits that we have come to love are killing us. Animal protein and starchy grains like flour products become sticky glue in our system, which leads to a clogged up body with pus, mucus, toxins and foreign matter. As we have learned in the last chapter, mucus and toxins lead to inflammations and cell death in our system. We demand too much from our bodies as we live our hectic and stressful lives. According to Professor Arnold Ehret, “For thousands of years Fasting has been recognized as Nature’s Supreme curative measure. But the art of When, Why and How to fast has been lost by those living in present day society with a very few exceptions. The body must receive nourishing food, but just what is good nourishing food?” 1/7/2015 1 Comment 20 Key Benefits of Fasting

Keep Juicing and Stay Healthy Monika Baechler, Juice Fasting Maven 1/6/2015 0 Comments What is Disease?Before we can understand how we can heal and rejuvenate by fasting, we have to figure out and answer the question so many are asking: What is Disease? Disease is a term used by the medical community and the good sheeple we are, we learned to repeat it. We are made to believe that there are thousands of different diseases, but the truth is that our body is manifesting symptoms of toxicity and the biggest concerns are acidosis and mucus. It is so naive to treat toxicity with toxins in the form of medications. Imagine seasoning a salty dish with more salt to overcome the saltiness. Ridiculous, wouldn't you say? The entire medical world has utterly mistaken the true nature of disease –directing their energies and skill to the suppression of symptoms – rather than to the removal of cause, while the hygienic system of cure is based solely upon the removal of the cause… Vitality, Fasting and Nutrition by Hereward Carrington A disease “symptom” is nothing else than the accumulation of poison and waste matter which has collected within our body. Not that we haven’t been warned for years by headaches, migraines, pain, obesity, and brain fog. The discomforts of diseases are nothing but symptoms of detoxification. Our body’s sole goal is to keep us clean by eliminating waste, and here we are suppressing our body’s efforts with drugs and more garbage (food). “People die of disease not because the disease is fatal, but because the system is not permitted to throw it off.” - Dr. K. S. Guthrie If I argued that most diseases are due to improper eating habits, improper food combinations, acidic foods, animal protein over-consumption and commercially-processed foods of modern times, would you take my side? Of course, there are many secondary symptoms like inflammation, yeast, mold and parasite-infections, but they all have a central cause- wrong eating habits! We can’t forget that everything we put into our stomach has to be digested. Even a healthy stomach can only digest a certain amount of food. Anything beyond this amount is poison, and if it can’t be eliminated because of digestive weakness, it will become waste matter and toxic. “Man is the sickest animal on earth; no other animal has violated the laws of eating as much as man; no other animal eats as wrongly as man”. - Professor A. Ehret. Many Naturopaths believe that there are three root causes of disease:
