The power of a plant-based diet can never be underestimated. For more than 25 years, the Hallelujah Diet has been effectively eliminating sickness and helping people get back to living a strong and healthy life. By boosting the immune system with the nutrients and vitamins of raw, leafy greens and vibrant fruits and vegetables, the body’s miraculous self-healing abilities kick into gear. There is not one area of health that raw eating does not impact.
Take a look at how a primarily raw plant-based diet can help reduce and prevent allergies:
What Causes Allergies?
Numerous studies have indicated that diet has an effect on asthma and allergies. According to Asthma UK, avoiding certain foods and focusing on fresh, whole foods can help eliminate the severity of asthma as well as other allergies. Foods high in saturated fats, sugar, salt and items that are overly processed can trigger symptoms and make them worse.
Specifically, arachidonic acid found in red meat has been linked to allergic inflammation because of the cytokines and leukotrienes it brings into your body, the Naturopathic Medicine explained. The necessary amount of arachidonic acid that the body needs is already produced naturally, eliminating the need for the consumption of red meat.
Essentially, the Standard America Diet can weaken the immune system and make the body more susceptible to allergens. Avoiding the SAD can eliminate risk factors for allergies, as the Rev. George Malkmus has explained.
Asthma and allergies impact thousands of Americans each year.
Now is the time more than ever to take care of our health.
With the given phase of life, we’re experiencing right now, being intentional about our health and how we’re choosing to nourish our bodies from a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual perspective is more important than ever.
It’s a great time to pay gratitude to your health, your body, and all the amazing things it allows you to do each day like think critically, experience love and community, call your loved ones, to use your voice to speak up and spread compassion, and so many other amazing things we often take for granted.
In addition, just like with any news or collective event that happens, everyone has something to share about it so I want to make sure you’re getting the most accurate, helpful, and healthy resources for your health, your family, and your community. That’s why here in this article you’ll learn what foods can support your immune system, what supplements we know can contribute to supporting your immune system or specific health conditions.
The key here and whenever you’re reading articles online related to your health and coronavirus is to keep in mind since this is such a new virus there are no specific studies just yet that are conclusive stating that one specific food or supplement or lifestyle action can prevent, treat, or cure this virus.
So what you’ll find in this article are the studies and health conditions or ways foods, supplements, and lifestyle
I think this is a month that we will all remember for the rest of our lives. It is a month that has changed the world forever, and it is a month that will go down in history.
So much has happened this month and a lot of us have felt disorientated and not sure exactly what day of the week it is!
A lot of us are still processing what is actually happening, and in a way we are grieving for our normal lives.
The human race is born to win.
We will figure this out and we will get through this time. It will pass!
In a way it is good that it is a global problem, because that means that the whole world will come together as one to solve it.
For most of us, our role in overcoming this is to simply stay at home.
While we are at home, the best thing we can do is establish new healthy routines, and focus on our health and fitness.
Without routines; we will feel depressed.
Without healthy eating & movement; we will gain weight.
To help us stay focused on our healthy routines and habits having an exciting image of the future will help us to keep going.
I read a post on Facebook today that described so well, what we all have to look forward to. I have edited it
According to the American Diabetes Association, diabetes affects 30.3 million Americans. Of those individuals, only about 23.1 million were diagnosed. Additionally, it’s estimated that about 1.5 million new cases of diabetes are diagnosed every year.
This debilitating disease has a huge impact on those who live with it. Type 2 diabetes can cause increased thirst and hunger, frequent urination and headaches. It can also lead to more severe health complications, such as heart disease and blurred vision, which is referred to as diabetic blindness or retinopathy.
What is Diabetic Blindness?
According to the National Eye Institute, diabetic retinopathy is the most common type of eye disease in the U.S. It’s caused by high blood sugar levels leading to the swelling of the blood vessels of the retina, which often leads to leaking fluid. It may also cause the blood vessels to close, which can stop blood from passing through. This ultimately shuts down the retina and can result in blindness.
“NPDR occurs when tiny blood vessels leak.”
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, there are two stages of diabetic eye disease: non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. NPDR occurs when the tiny blood vessels leak, causing the retina to swell or close off. Most commonly, this leads to blurriness in vision.
PDR is more severe. The retina goes through neovascularization, which causes the retina to grow new blood vessels. The problem is these vessels are very fragile, and they often bleed into the vitreous. This can cause dark spots in vision but can also lead to blindness. The new blood vessels may also make scar tissue to form, which can cause the retina to detach.
What are the Signs and Symptoms?
According to the NEI, symptoms are minimal or non-existent in the early stages of diabetic retinopathy, making the disease to progress and impact vision before knowing when to take action. But there are ways a professional can detect the disease. A comprehensive eye exam that measures one’s ability to read and see objects from a distance can determine if you’re dealing with something that’s impacting your vision.
How to Protect Yourself
Early detection and treatment are the safest ways to protect yourself from diabetic blindness. However, we recommend taking care of your body to avoid diabetes in the first place. A healthy, wholesome plant-based eating regimen like the Hallelujah Diet can help you maintain a healthy weight and regulate your blood sugar levels to avoid a debilitating disease like diabetes. Ultimately, this will help you avoid the need for insulin and other medications. God created the natural sustenance of the Earth as the fuel for our bodies, but also as the natural medicine to teach our bodies how to self-heal. When you eat organic foods and stop treating your body like a garbage bin, it will reward you and help you live a long, fulfilling life.

I myself was diagnosed with a fibroid by my PCP about 3 years ago. I didn’t have any of the possible symptoms. No heavy or painful periods that can sometimes be a sign of fibroids.
At the time my doctor suspected a fibroid during a routine pap smear and sent me to get an ultrasound. I got a call from the doctors office nurse to tell me over the phone that I indeed did have a fibroid and then was like ok good-bye. But hold on I have some questions. What can we do about it? The nurse then told me that the doctor doesn’t do ANYTHING about my fibroid until I start to develop symptoms. What! This is NOT ok and should not be how our healthcare system works. In my mind fibroids are a symptoms of something deeper going on and with my own experience (and with all my clients) that was absolutely the case!
I was told that the best “treatment” for my fibroid was birth control pills. But I had already been on birth control for many years and it actually likely caused my fibroid in the first place vs preventing one from growing. Because guess what, BCPs can contribute to estrogen dominance and fibroids are linked to estrogen issues.
Some of the common conventional recommendations for fibroids include birth control (as was in my case), a doctor can go in and try to cut off the blood supply to the fibroid, or sometimes in

However, stringent changes have been put in place to ensure the health and safety of both our staff and customers during the Covid-19 crisis. Here’s everything you need to know…
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, measures have been put in place in order to adhere to new government policies within our business. This means the following:

I got a message from a customer the other day that explained her situation and how the coronavirus had effected her and her family, it was quite distressing and a lot to deal with. But in the last sentence of her message she told me that she had “managed to ground herself and she was feeling ok”.
Being able to feel centred and grounded is something that we all need to be able to master over the coming weeks and months.
During the last couple of weeks on numerous occasions I have found myself going through waves of emotion. Usually after watching the news, or reading something on social media, I can sometimes feel a fear sweep over me, and I have to take a deep breath and centre myself.
Taking a deep breath works
The simple things work. Breathing is a great way to centre yourself. Sometimes I think as humans, we do not do the simple things. So if you haven’t tried breathing, don’t over look it, try it, and see how it makes you feel.
Here is how to give it a go this week, should you feel some anxiety come over you with the news;
Take a deep breath and count to 5.
Accept that we have no control over what is happening, and allow yourself to release it with the intention of focusing on what we can control.
This is the act of centering yourself.
For meditation purposes, to centre yourself breath in for a count of 5 (or however long it takes to slowly fill your lungs), then out for a count of 10 (rule of thumb is twice as long as the inhale)
You’ll know when you’re centred when you feel calm and at peace.
Step Outside Into Nature
If you can step outside into nature, and take in some deep breaths, this will help you to centre yourself too. Being in nature is also great for your immune system.
On the news the other day, I heard that a man ran a marathon in his own garden! It is amazing what you can do in a small space outside. Being outside and moving is a great way to centre yourself. Get creative and see what you can do.
Try walking barefoot on the grass in the morning! It is a great way to feel grounded. I love standing in my garden, having a cup of coffee and just filling my heart with gratitude.
These simple things, will help you to keep bringing yourself back to a calm place.

A family-friendly and satisfying Vegan Shepherd’s Pie recipe gets an Indian twist. Loaded with flavour-packed green lentils simmered in a tomato sauce infused with traditional South Asian spices, and topped with velvety mashed potatoes.

I think you’ll agree that Shepherd’s pie exudes all the comfort food vibes. Perhaps it’s the combo of a meaty layer topped with luscious, soft potatoes. So yummy!
Having grown up in the UK, our family recipes have always had some sort of Eastern and Western fusion. Mum used to create something similar using meat. And as we’ve committed to eating more plants, I was eager to plan a vegan version of Shepherd’s Pie – with all the South Asian feels.
With the launch of my rebranded Youtube Channel, it’s been slightly more hectic with my workload. Yes, the need for easy and healthyIndian recipes for the family has become even more critical as I settle into a new routine. And this, my friends, is the perfect pick to add to our weekly meal plan. I hope you love it as much as we do 🙂
How To Make Vegan Shepherd’s Pie – In Ten Steps

I encourage you to have a vision for your life. This is more important now than at any other time. Having a vision for future will help you to stay positive and want to make the most of this time, so that when life gets back to normal you can go and live life to the max.
Create a movie in your mind and imagine all the things you want to do when things are back to normal.
Imagine yourself at your goal when you are feeling healthy and energetic. Imagine yourself going to all the places you love to go to, with the people you love to spend time with.
Use this time of self isolation to focus on your health and wellbeing.
I asked this question in our secret slimmers group and so many people got excited when they thought about what life could be like in 12 weeks time.
Having hope for a better future is so important right now.
I encourage you to write it all down. Write down all the things you would like to do, write down how you are going to feel. Emotionally connect to the vision of your future, and keep it at the fore front of your mind every day. Especially first thing in the morning, and last thing at night.
Accept that you are in lockdown.
Watch this video…. it gives us such a positive message for us on how to view lockdown.
With new health and wellness trends popping up every month, it can be overwhelming to know where to start to make the biggest impact on your wellbeing.
Should you take supplements or learn how to meditate? Should you get acupuncture or follow this specific plan? Should you juice this certain combination of vegetables or get cryotherapy?
And then all of this confusion and overwhelm can cause you to jump from one thing to the next without ever fully making these things a habit or to not take any action at all — neither of which support you in creating a long-lasting healthy lifestyle.
But there are 3 things you should start with that will make the biggest impact on the way you feel every day — and I’m going to share them and exactly what you should focus on in this video!
The three areas you need to focus on first are the ones that are most impactful to our daily lives: eating well, moving consistently, and sleeping enough — and in just a minute, I’m going to dive deeper into more specifically what your focus should be on within those areas.
But first, I want to give you a little insight into why it’s important to build healthy practices within these areas first.
These areas provide the foundation for all of the other areas of our lives.
For example, if you’re not nourishing yourself well, you might feel low on energy in the afternoon, right when it’s time to pick up your kids. Or if you aren’t getting enough sleep, it’s going to be challenging to do your best work or learn a new skill.
These areas also increase in their impact when they’re all working together. When you exercise, you sleep better, and when you sleep better, you have the mental energy to choose nourishing foods.
It’s a cycle of support and simply by creating habits within these areas, you can really make major progress towards your goals and your wellness vision.
Getting Enough Sleep
So let’s talk about the first area — getting enough sleep — and as a reminder, that’s usually 7 to 9 hours per night.
The quality of sleep you get has a domino effect on the entire day.
When you don’t have enough sleep — so many other aspects of your health and your mental capability suffers, impacting the other areas of your life.
Start by building a habit of going to bed consistently at the same time every night and disconnecting from devices at least 30 minutes before.
The first few nights, or maybe even the first week or two might be a little tricky if you’re not used to going to bed at the same time. Be consistent with it, even if you’re lying awake a little longer than usual — that consistency and that wind-down period will quickly transform to you being able to fall asleep with ease.
Nourish Yourself
Moving on to the second area — eating well. This topic can get really complicated really quickly, but by simplifying, it can become a lot easier to ensure you’re nourishing yourself fully.
Your focus here should be on the foundational five. The foundational five is an easy guideline I share so at every meal, you know you’re meeting nutritional goals while also keeping you full, easing digestion, and stabilizing energy.
The foundational five are: protein, fat, whole food starchy carbohydrates, and non-starchy carbohydrates (like veggies), and the flavor factor such as herbs, spices, and condiments to give your meals that deliciousness. Focus on eating these at every meal.
Once you feel you consistently do that, then you can start adding on other things within this area that you want to explore, like supplements you may need based on professional recommendations, or adding juicing to your morning routine, or certain powders to smoothies.
Daily Movement
And the last area to focus on is moving consistently. And when I say consistently, I mean every day.
Movement is so important to our health and we spend most of our day sedentary.
One thing I see happen often is someone trying to form a habit of going from not exercising at all or exercising infrequently to trying to make a habit of going to very intense classes everyday, whether that’s a spin class, strength training class, or a combination.
This often doesn’t last too long and what’s more important is to focus on creating the habit of moving daily, regardless of what that movement is.
With this, focus your effort on moving for 20 minutes a day. This can be a workout class a couple times a week, but it can also be a 20 minute walk or yoga session at home.
Once you’ve built consistency there, then you can explore what it might look like to increase the number of days that 20 minutes is spent at the gym instead of a walk.
But the most important thing is that you’re moving your body every single day.
So to recap, the three areas to focus on eating well by making sure you have the core four on your plate at every meal, moving your body for 20 minutes a day, and going to bed at the same time every night with a 30-minute device-free period beforehand.
If you’re ready to turn these into your habits, one last thing I recommend is grabbing my free guide for creating habits with ease where I’ll take you through my process for making a habit stick.

What a week it has been! This week the country went into lockdown and the seriousness of the pandemic is feeling more and more real. Today marks day 14 of self isolation for myself and kids.

Personal tips to help manage anxiety during the outbreak of a pandemic.
I woke up and tried remembering what day it was. According to my phone, it was a Tuesday. It felt funny to be in bed at 7:30 am – not rushing about the house, getting the kids ready for school. Days and nights seem to mesh into one another.
I went downstairs and put the kettle on. It’s normal to see parents piling kids into cars for school at this hour. Dog-walkers and runners are usually out for exercise. However, these days it’s different.
Lone cherry blossom trees stand tall amidst late winter snow. Spring has arrived. Toronto’s nippy air isn’t bone-chilling anymore. It is still cold, yes. But it’s spring cold, when birds start singing and trees come to life.
Yet, there is no sign of human life on my street. People have stopped socializing for the time being. Governments around the world have named it “social distancing”. Our planet is going through a health crisis, a global pandemic. There is a rare disease called COVID-19: the new coronavirus. It has spread around the world like wildfire. Scientists, doctors and healthcare professionals are still trying to decipher what it actually is. There is no vaccine and no cure. It multiplies and doubles through infectious droplets in coughing, sneezing and overall human contact. Therefore, all of us must stop socializing for some time. Every person in the world. We are to stay home.
Sounds like a film, doesn’t it? It reminds me of A Quiet Place. The plot revolves around a family struggling to survive in a post-apocalyptic world inhabited by blind extraterrestrial creatures with an acute sense of hearing. They attack people who utter any sound. Only in the real world, said creatures are the new coronavirus. Close human contact might put us at the risk of catching it.
Those who can work from home have stopped going to their offices, and educational institutes from around the world have switched to online classes. Events, travel plans and workshops are indefinitely cancelled until further notice. Shops, businesses, restaurants and cafes have shut down, the world over.
It is a strange and apocalyptic time. Never in my life did I imagine the new decade would start on such an unusual note! However, in such unprecedented circumstances with routines falling apart, holding onto our mental health (alongsideimmunity) has never felt more important.
Like many people across the globe, I also experienced the anxiety and panic this virus has brought with itself. With no work routine, no school for the kids and no gym, I felt quite stressed and helpless. How do I motivate myself to change out of pyjamas every morning? I can’t go to the gym – do I let my workout regime falter? What about work? How do I manage my anxiety? A lack of routine can often cause our fitness, nutrition goals, mental health and other wellness-related ambitions to suffer.
And that is understandable. Likewise, you must also be overwhelmed with the inordinate amount of information everywhere. It can be demotivating and cause anxiety. Maybe you’ve lost that sense of purpose that comes with a structured wellness routine. You might also be angry at how long it took you to establish a healthy regime consisting of exercise, hobbies, activities and self-care. All of that might seem in vain now. I understand because I felt the same. However, I changed my mindset. It didn’t happen overnight, but I managed to guide myself into a more positive direction.
Tips to help manage anxiety
Start with acceptance
I started with acceptance. Yes, corona is currently on a world tour and we must accept that for a while, it’s here to stay. Acceptance brings a sense of clarity. And clarity makes space for kindness. Kindness towards ourselves and other people. It is okay to let the unknown cloud our judgement for a bit.We are allowed to feel vulnerable. What’s not okay is dwelling on it for too long.
Count your blessings
Slowly, I started counting my blessings. At least in this situation, I have a loving family, a roof over my head, food in the kitchen, and Wi-Fi to stay connected with the outside world. A good internet connection guarantees a plethora of content for both mental and physical well-being. All these extra hours will also allow me to spend more free time with my family. All I needed was a structure that’ll fit around these new limitations.
Establish a family routine & tag-team
Like any parent, my husband and I wanted to have some semblance of a routine for our three kids first. We encouraged them to find creative ways to stay physically fit and mentally agile. We molded our work schedules around their routines and vice versa, in order to accommodate all family members.
My husband and I decided to take turns in going to the basement for online meetings and work calls. This allows us free time to spend with our children in turns. My eldest, Miss R (16) is now my workout buddy. Not only do we have fun exercising with dumbbells and bands, it’s also a great way for us to have some quality mother-daughter bonding time.
Our youngest, Master IZ (6) has a lovely little schedule that allows him to read, play in the garden, watch a film and do school work. Our middle one, Master IK (14) is great at keeping himself and his baby brother fit through football. If it’s not snowing, they also head out to the back garden to play. Together with my husband, my kids and I now also enjoy making meals together. In fact, Master IZ is definitely my little sous chef!
Let go of perfection and be kind
It’s understandable that some of us might be struggling with binge-eating of less-nutritious foods. It is almost predictable to indulge in a few treats with so much ongoing stress.It’s is okay to enjoy a few extra sweet treats. Your body doesn’t change overnight. And, as long as we enjoy such food items as treats, it is perfectly acceptable to cut ourselves some slack. Kindness has to start with ourselves first. Let’s shift the focus off of body weight, to the power of positive perspective.
Find the silver lining
There is a silver lining to the most adverse of situations. Times like these test our patience and resilience. This global pandemic has affected thousands across the globe. It is perfectly okay to feel on edge. However, even when we’re trapped inside four walls for our own safety, we can find ways to feel emotionally and physically relaxed.
The collective mentality of all or nothing isn’t the kindest approach to dealing with unexpected situations. Life is not perfect, and unprecedented circumstances such as the coronavirus are beyond our control. We must graciously accept that the entire world is fighting the same battle, and have a more optimistic outlook towards life. As Rumi infamously said, “the moment you accept what troubles you’ve been given, the door will open.” And I have accepted that now is the time to step back and adjust, in order to leap forward again.

We spend so much of our time indoors and in our home, which is why creating a non-toxic home and practicing non-toxic living is an important part of caring for your health and wellbeing.
The Environmental Protection Agency says that indoor air quality can be five times worse than outdoor air quality, with one major contributor to that being to the increased use of synthetic furnishings, personal care products, pesticides, and household cleaners.
In addition to these types of toxins that can get into our air, there are others that may leach into our food or drinking water and others that contribute to noise and light pollution in our homes — all of which can affect our wellbeing in the short- and long-term.
What to Look for When Transitioning to a Non-Toxic Home
Over the majority of my adult life, and especially in the past few years, I’ve been very mindful about what we purchase and use in our home.
You absolutely don’t need to go out and completely transform your home overnight, but as you’re replacing items, upgrading, etc. you can be mindful to make healthier choices for your home (and often the environment too!)
Life has totally changed for us all over the last couple of weeks. I hope you are feeling ok, keeping yourself busy, and focused on what is inside your control.
I also hope that you are feeling in control of your eating and not comfort or boredom eating too much. From what I can see on Social Media, even the slim people are worried about gaining weight during this time in quarantine. I am seeing meme’s like this everywhere on social media! (look out for my meme party blog post tomorrow!)
I was watching the news today and a reporter asked the government are they worried about the mental health and obesity problems that could arise from everyone being in lockdown… everyone knows that it could be a big problem.
It is so important that we get healthy routines in place and have a positive focus at this time.
I feel so energised and inspired by our customers in secret slimmers who are really making great progress with their total food replacement journeys.
We can think that we are “stuck at home” or we can think that we are “safe at home” – one simple word, changes everything.
Keep your perspective positive.
Get healthy routines in place.
Get your mind focused on what you can control.
And use this time to get to your healthy ideal weight.
Imagine 12 weeks from now, life is getting back to normal and you are 3 stone lighter. What are you looking forward to doing? How
Overcoming cancer is one of the most beloved blessings from above. To ensure your long-term health and ability to enjoy many years ahead, it’s important to pay close attention to your diet so you can return to good health. Following healthier lifestyle habits, such as exercising, getting a good night’s sleep, limiting your stress and avoiding alcohol and tobacco products are some of the easiest ways to regain your health, but consuming wholesome, quality foods is the most important. A diet that consists of processed products, refined sugars, fatty meats and other saturated substances is the quickest way to spiral downward, back to failing health.
Following a Plant-Based Diet
Eating well should be a top priority for anyone, but it’s especially important for cancer survivors. In fact, the National Comprehensive Cancer Network swears by a plant-based diet, stating that research shows an eating regimen like the Hallelujah Diet has proven to lessen overall cancer risk. Reducing meat and animal fat consumption and eating more fruits and vegetables has been shown to reduce chances of developing cancers like lung, breast colon and stomach.
Fresh vegetables are key in a remission diet.
According to the NCCN, the phytochemicals in fruits, vegetables, legumes and grains – foods that are staples in the Hallelujah Diet – act as a defense system against carcinogens, substances that are known to cause cancer. Ultimately, consuming plant-based ingredients will boost the phytochemicals in your system and may aid cells in blocking cancer!
I have hesitated to write this blog post because I did not want to panic or upset anyone. The more I thought about it the more I felt that as a diet company we would be doing a disservice to our customers for not addressing this issue at this crucial time.
Our job is to help people to lose weight and get healthy and right now we have to support our customers who have a BMI of over 40.
The most important thing to do is to stay calm and stay focused on what is inside your control. All our battles can be won, one day at a time.
The virus will be beaten as a community one day in isolation at a time, and our weight loss battle will be won with our own determination, one day and one meal at a time.
We can do this, and we will do this!
All of us are now social distancing or in lockdown because of the Coronavirus. This is good, because as long as we stay home, we stay safe and stay healthy.
On 21st March the NHS published an official letter that lists out who has increased risk from Coronavirus. You can click here to read it.
An all-natural and raw, biblical plant-based diet is the cornerstone of the Hallelujah Diet. It is based fully on what has been since the very beginning, when God created the heavens and the earth and then people, in His image and likeness. It was at that very time that God established how humans would fuel and nourish their bodies. As it was proclaimed in Genesis 1:29:
“And God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat [food].'”
In the beginning
It is this exact biblical passage that serves as the foundation the Hallelujah Diet, as Rev. Malkmus wrote in his book, “And the pattern was set in Genesis 1:29 for sustaining that life – transferred from one life to another by the consumption of living foods.” According to Rev. Malkmus, living food is essential and proper fuel for the body and its living cells. Consuming a diet rich in raw, plant-based living foods can help maintain and promote optimal health.
The raw food ratio
The daily break down of nutrition for this diet is 85:15, or 85 percent living foods and 15 percent vegan cooked foods, according to “The Hallelujah Diet.” It’s important to note that the intake of living foods need not be limited to 85 percent; these foods can certainly take up more of your daily consumption if you
This Sunday the clocks spring forward! To mark this Spring Milestone, we have launched our popular countdown code.
The code is CLOCK20 and it will give you 44% off on Wednesday, and this will drop by 1% every day until Sunday.
Spring will be different this year, and our lighter evenings will be spent in our gardens mostly. Although are going to have a spring like no other, we must remain optimistic that we can use this time as a time of transformation and self improvement.
Arthritis is a debilitating disease that impacts the lives of nearly 54 million adults in the U.S, according to the Arthritis Foundation. By 2040, it’s estimated that more than 78 million people will have some form of arthritis.
Those living with the disease can agree that it doesn’t only come with physical pain – it can have an impact on mental and emotional well-being too. If you’re one of the many million Americans living with arthritis, it’s important to address all of the additional stressors and ways to cope.
Exercise is a simple way to cope with arthritis.
1. Pay Attention to Your Mental Health
Did you know that living with a physical chronic condition can also lead to depression down the road? As suggested by the Arthritis Foundation, it’s important to pay attention to your emotions and understand warning signs that something may be off. Some include fatigue, lost appetite, disrupted sleep and feeling more sad and anxious than usual. To avoid these feelings, spend more time with family and make time to enjoy a hobby.
2. Don’t Stop Moving!
Pain in the body that comes as a result of arthritis can make it seem like you need to halt all physical activity, but that’s the last thing you should do. Exercise doesn’t only increase strength, improve flexibility and reduce joint pain, but it’s also another great way to cope with depression that may come with arthritis, according to David Hellersstein, MD, professor of clinical psychiatry at Columbia University’s
Learning how to make easy pantry meals is such an important skill! Whether you aren’t able to get to the grocery store or you simply want to make use more of what you have, learning to get creative with what’s in your pantry will make you more confident in the kitchen.
Inside of my program, The Method Membership, I teach my members how to stock their pantry, fridge, and freezer so they have a few staples on hand that are commonly called for in recipes or simply really useful and versatile to have when putting a meal together. It makes cooking so much easier and more convenient because you already have most of what you need on hand, and then you only need to buy a few ingredients here or there to really make something extra delicious.
But the important piece of that is knowing what to do with those pantry staples and learning how to have some fun and play in the kitchen so you don’t end up using the pantry ingredient in the same way over and over again and getting bored. We like to keep things fun!
These are a few of the ways to make use of our pantry staples and change it up so that we’re getting the nutritious benefits of these different items without getting bored!
Quick note: if you don’t have something on hand for one of these recipes, ask yourself if there’s something you do have you that could use instead! This is
The UK has went into lockdown mode tonight after the Prime Minster announced it on Television.
Some movement is allowed for essentials, like food and medicine. People are allowed to go to work if they really have to, and allowed to exercise outside once a day.
It is strange times we are living in, there is hope though that all these measures will work as China is now reporting no new cases and starting to relax its stringent lockdown restrictions. Hopefully in a few months that will be us and slowly life can get back to normal again.
The best thing we can all do is STAY AT HOME and accept LOCKDOWN MODE.
Many of our customers have said over the years that they wish they could go into some type of lockdown mode to be able to have the focus on our total food replacement plan.
Most of the reasons that our customers have failed on plan is because their social life is too busy;
Weddings, birthday parties, nights outs, holidays, work travel, family get togethers and lunch with friends…these are the reasons that total food replacement is a hard diet to follow.
Now in the most unusual circumstances, in an unprecedented time, all these reasons why we can fail, have been removed from us.
All we have is lockdown; staying home, staying safe, and getting healthy.
If we are going to be in lockdown mode for weeks or months; why not use
Minerals are essential nutrients that your body needs to thrive. What exactly does a diet rich in minerals do for your well-being? In “God’s Original Diet,” Rev. George Malkmus highlights that minerals provide structure in forming bones and teeth, they maintain normal heart rhythm, muscle contractibility, neural conductivity, and acid-base balance. They also regulate cellular metabolism.
But where do these minerals come from? As rain water falls from the sky and filters through the earth, it acquires many minerals. When plants take in this water from the earth, they accumulate the minerals and turn them into a form that the body can easily absorb. This is the way God has always intended for man to obtain minerals – from plants consumed.
Our water often contains minerals in a form that are difficult to utilize, so we turn to living fruits, vegetables and juices.
The Garden of Eden
God placed Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and told them they would receive proper nourishment from the plants they were surrounded by. He explained that everything the body needs comes from garden plants, so they had everything necessary to maintain a healthy well-being throughout their existence.
“God explained that everything the body needs comes from garden plants.”
Genesis 1:29: “AND GOD SAID, Behold, I have given you every herb [vegetable] bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you
