I have had one colonic in my lifetime. I did feel a notch better afterward.

These days though I think it is easier, more convenient and cheaper to keep my colon in good shape with herbs.

Raw Food Episode 9 -- Colonic

There are many different herbs that can keep things moving down there.

One of my favorite ways to keep my colon clean is to  drink  Iaso organic, cleansing herbal tea. It acts as a very gentle colon cleanse and helps to remove toxins from my body. I drink it almost every day for good maintenance.  It is gentle enough for daily use.

Load Up the Veggies

I also make sure I get plenty of fiber in my diet. Loads of fresh raw vegetables do the trick for me. Vegetable blender smoothies make it easy to pump up the fiber content of my diet, without having to choke down a huge plate of vegetables at every meal. I still like to eat a good salad, high amounts of vegetables help my energy and well being. Also great for pH balance.

If you experienced a colonic or cleansing herbs, leave some thoughts in the comment box below.

Sprouting is so easy, almost anyone can do it.

Sprouting gives us a way to increase the nutritional value of any meal and make it more alkaline forming.

She gives a good idea as to what the sprouts should look like when they are ready to eat.

• First rinse the sprouts thoroughly.
• Place the sprouts in a jar or bowl and add 2x the amount of water.
• Cover and let the seeds soak in the water for 12-24 hours.
• Rinse and drain the sprouts after 12- 24 hours.
• Continue to rinse twice daily until ready to eat.
• Different types of sprouts are used at different stages of growth.

One of my favorite ways to balance my pH is to drink an organic, cleansing herbal tea. It acts as a very gentle colon cleanse and helps to remove toxins from my body.

What do the various sprouts taste like?

How long do they take to sprout? This video does a great job of answering these questions.

The Magic of Sprouting Introduction

Grow fresh organic vegetables in the warmth and comfort of your own kitchen.

Too cold in the winter to have a garden outside? The solution is to grow sprouts inside. You can create your own fresh supply of organic, enzyme rich sprouts until the garden perks back up in the spring. I personally have an organic garden that goes year round. A simple greenhouse makes winter gardening possible here in NC. It’s not heated, so growth has been slow here, as the evening temps have been near 20 for the last week or so. Sprouts help fill in the gaps, in a healthy eating lifestyle.

Growing your own sprouts is very inexpensive. Look for seeds at your local health food store.

Next time I will find a video that gives good instructions on how to sprout. If you know of a good one, let me know in the comment box below. We also want to hear your sprouting tips and experiences.

Good for Sprouting

• Radish sprouts, easy to grow, add zest to salads and sandwiches
• Alfalfa sprouts are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. The roots of the alfalfa plant grow down deep to bring up minerals from the soil. Loaded with chlorophyll and enzymes.
• Mung bean are common in Chinese cuisine. Excellent when eaten raw. Can be grown in as little as 2 days.
• Red clover sprouts are a concentrated source of phytochemicals.  Don’t take as long to grow as alfalfa and store will in frig.
• French lentil sprouts are a good source of protein. Sprinkle over other dishes to add a nutritional boost.
• Red cabbage sprouts are easy to grow. They add a dash of color.
• Adzuki bean sprouts, similar to mung beans. A nice fresh bean flavor and crunch. Good source of living enzymes.
• Broccoli sprouts have a good peppery flavor. Good source of chlorophyll and antioxidants.

One of my favorite ways to balance my pH is to drink an organic, cleansing herbal tea. It acts as a very gentle colon cleanse and helps to remove toxins from my body.

Or better yet, how can a person achieve the best health possible?

Eat quality foods, pay attention to your thoughts and avoid pollution as much as possible.

Thinking and Health

Most people don’t realize that negative thinking can have a detrimental effect on the body.  It is called the mind body connection. If you are thinking negatively you are producing acid. It pays to have a more positive attitude.

So think about this: wherever there is a negative thought, there is always a positive one. You just have to be open to see it. It is just not worth it to harbor anger, bitterness, hate and greed in your heart. Instead focus on forgiveness, love and peace. It is tricky sometimes, but worth the effort.

Poor Diet, Negative Thinking, the One Two Punch to Your Health

Poor diet and negative thinking compound the problem of acid in the body. Contributing to the aging process.
So how to turn this around?

A cleansing and detoxifying diet combined with pleasing, nurturing thoughts.

• Salads
• Vegetables
• Water rich foods
• Essential fatty acids

The key is to increase the good foods and reduce the acid forming foods, they don’t have to be eliminated entirely.

Body Building and pH

Ryan  Marcotte followed the alkaline diet for 12 weeks, so let us see the difference.

And what a difference there is.

Most bodybuilders think you need tons of protein, but take a look at Ryan’s physique, with the help of the alkaline diet.

Pictures Tell the Story

The before and after pictures are stunning.

Not so long ago, Ryan was overweight, thanks to not so good eating. Then his life experienced a turn around.

“The first ten days, the thing I noticed most, was my energy levels just exploding.” Amen Ryan, your experience is not all that different from other alkaline dieters. More energy, less fat around the middle.

Less Need for Sleep

Not needing so much sleep was another benefit Ryan mentions, thanks to a healthier lifestyle.

Gain Muscle, Goodbye to Fat

According to Ryan, he was able to gain 11 pounds of muscle, while losing fat. I;m sure he was exercising more intensely than the average person would. A person, serious abut bodybuilding, needs to follow a pretty rigorous regime.

I have  a totally controlled environment, with no distractions and only the proper foods for my detox boot camp.

I love to munch down on organic vegetables. Fresh from my organic garden.

I drink two organic veggie blender smoothies each day.

Sun Tea Special with

• White Tea, blended in the Sun
• Dr Miller’s Iaso Tea

It even provides a little caffeine, so I can get away from coffee.

I consume small amounts of clean meat. Organic, grass fed, or clean as possible.

Salmon and sardines are cool.

Robert and Shelly Young

I have been a big fan of Dr Robert Young and his wife Shelly for a long time.

They bring some great insight into the role of pH balancing when it comes to good health and weight loss.

What role does pH play in human health?

Hear what Dr. Young has to say about it in this video.

Alkaline Diet : Live On CBS News — Is Your Health At Risk?

About Blood pH

The body maintains blood pH in a very narrow range.It does everything it can to keep the pH of the blood in the proper range. Otherwise you are a goner.

The pH of other body fluids is sometimes sacrificed for the sake of the blood pH.

A Revolutionary way of thinking about health and disease.

Dr Young’s foundational theory, -  One sickness, one disease, one treatment.

Disease is an expression of states of imbalance.

How we feel has a lot to do with balancing our internal terrain.

Following the Alkaline Diet is the Foundation

Listen carefully to the foods that are recommended. I always like to look for ways to include new alkaline foods in my diet.
