The power of dry and wet brushing

Posted on : 25-01-2019 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : Alkaline Diet and improving your well-being, Alkaline Diet Health Tips

To give you some context for the power of brushing let’s talk about cellulite. It is important to understand cellulite before you can start targeting those bumpy areas.

Very simply put, Cellulite is an accumulation of fat, fluid, toxins & waste all trapped by a net of hardened connective tissues under the skin.  The fat in this area is different to fat in other areas of the body, which is why when we try to lose weight, we lose it first from our non-cellulite areas such as our face, bust/chest, back, lower arms etc.   Where the place we really want to lose it is our tummy, hips, and thighs.

You’ll probably notice that the people who have more cellulite tend to be those who tend to sit a lot,  who tend to eat more processed foods, and who use more chemicals in their lives as well.  When toxins from the air we breathe (car fumes, bug sprays, air fresheners), the food we eat (processed, artificial flavors, preservatives), and the substances we use on our skin (like skincare products, cleaning products, deodorants etc) enter our body they are transferred through our lymphatic system for removal.  This system is the waste disposal network of our body that runs alongside our blood network.  Our blood has the heart to pump it around the body and keep it flowing.  The lymphatic system is different: it has a series of one-way valves that allow for lymph movement, but only moves when muscles around the vessels are contracted which effectively pump the lymph through those valves.  So, you can understand that someone who sits all day in a chair would have more collection of stagnant lymph around the buttocks, hips, and thighs because of a lack of movement in the muscles around that area, compared to a person who walks all day in their job.

With the lack of movement of lymph in an area the vessels become blocked and the toxins, wastes and excess fluid (water retention) will seep out into the areas around the lymph vessels.   Which is mainly around the fat cells and skin.  With this accumulation comes other problems as well, such as a lack of blood flow to the skin, which can result in other conditions such as spider veins, stretch marks, dimpling, enlarged pores (orange peel look), hot and cold areas of the skin.  Go ahead, try it now…. where you have cellulite, feel the temperature of your skin compared to an area that doesn’t.  I usually compare the buttocks to a calf or somewhere like that.  The cellulite area is always colder due to that lack of blood flow.

So, exercise and/or another form of lymphatic movement such as dry body brushing is extremely important to assist in the reduction of wastes and toxins in our cellulite areas.  Detoxification is one of the best ways to effectively assist in the reduction of cellulite because the main cause of cellulite is a build up of toxins and waste.  Makes sense right?

When looking for a treatment or product to assist in your quest for less noticeable cellulite look for something that gets your lymphatic system moving.   Will increase blood flow to your skin, and possibly stimulate the production of collagen and elastin in your skin as well.  All of the above-mentioned results are done by Body Brushing

Body Brushing for Cellulite:

Dry or wet skin brushing has so many benefits for cellulite, such as exfoliation which stimulates the production of new skin cells and collagen & elastin to form in the skin.  Excites the blood flow to the skin which helps to nourish the skin with nutrients in the blood from the foods we eat.  It manually manipulates the lymphatic flow when brushing in the correct directions for the lymph which will help move those toxins and waste through the system for elimination by the body.  The firm bristle brushes will manipulate the fat in the area effectively softening and breaking the fat cells up so they can be utilized for energy when needed by the body.

The most important part of this is consistency.  Cellulite takes a long time to build up in the skin.  It can be up to seven years of build up under the surface before any signs of cellulite actually show up on the skin itself.  So, just know that the cellulite can definitely be improved, but it will take time.  Lifestyle changes and loving your body with some TLC will definitely give you the results you are after.

Very few people know that deep breathing does help to eliminate acids/toxins via the respiratory system.

 

I cannot overemphasize the benefits of working out enough. About 50 years ago our life was structured completely different. People “enjoyed” much more physical work. We come from a historical background of being hunters and gatherers with lots of physical activities.

Nowadays some people’s exercise is equivalent to pumping the gas pedal and pushing the buttons on the elevator.

Also you can also recognize the opposite behavior: Some people recognize the need to work out desperately after sitting all day all week and basically overdue it by running a marathon on the weekend. Not very healthy either.

We invite you to exercise on a regular base. Try to be active/work out as much as possible:

 

Walking in Mother Nature

Biking

Jumping the Trampoline

Swimming

Dancing

Skip the rope

Yoga

Pilates

 

Life is soo easy: just open YouTube and punch in your favourite workout: Let’s “Beginner Yoga workout 10 min” or “HIIT workout 20 min with weights” and you get hundreds of suggestions and then just do it 🙂

 

 

Besides getting rid of toxins and acids enjoy a much more relaxed state of mind after your work out.

 

My tip for you: Try to work out in the morning and enjoy an increased metabolism with more fat burning and increased happiness hormones all day 🙂

Why women outlive men by 10 years?

Posted on : 23-10-2018 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : alkaline diet, Alkaline Diet Health Tips, Alkaline Expert Interview, Alkaline Foods and Alkaline Body Care

Excerpt from Dr. Peter Jentschura’s bestselling book “Health by Purification”.

The balance between acids and bases fundamentally influences the body’s basic biochemical regulation. The human organism is continuously thriving to hold an alkaline blood level of 7.35.

For his entire life, a man has to metabolize all accumulating acids from stress, consumption of processed foods, etc,  immediately as they occur. Men neutralize those acids mainly through sweating.

A woman holds the occurring acids back. She stores those acids in the blood, the lymph, and in the unfertilized placenta. With her monthly cycle, she eliminates those ”bad Juices”. This, however, applies to the childbearing years in the life of a woman only. After the menopause woman is more subject to the same chemical laws of metabolism as men.

Due to this regularly occurring purification and de-acidification over the decades, why woman blossom in their beauty much longer than men, and why they statistically survive their male counterpart on average by about 10 years.

Only after the menopause, a woman is in the same metabolic situation as the men.

In order to avoid that the body takes minerals from his own depots,

With a consistent alkaline body care through bathing and alkaline cosmetic as many toxins are to be flushed out. Our Alka Bath with a ph- level of 8.5 and the versatile application methods (body-, neck wrap, cuffs,  stockings or face mask) draws via the principle of osmosis acids out of the body

Then appropriate supplementation of energy-rich minerals has to take place to replace and restore the mineral reserves of the body. Wurzelkraft is a very rich whole food supplement, with all the essential vitamins and minerals the body possibly needs.

Accept Your Body As Is :-)

Posted on : 09-04-2018 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : Alkaline Diet Health Tips

How is your relationship with your body? Research says 46% of women and 62% of men are ashamed of theirs. Given those numbers, it looks like we have a problem. A study at Chapman University demonstrated that body image is closely linked to overall life satisfaction. Having a good relationship with your body has a positive impact on all aspects of your life. Try a few of these strategies to develop yours.

Accept what is, while working towards what can be

Your body is what it is. This isn’t to say you cannot have goals, but having a desired outcome for the future shouldn’t impede your enjoyment of the present. Good, bad, ugly, beautiful, fat, thin, these words are just subjective perceptions. Accept yourself as you are and love yourself enough to aim for a little more.

Relinquish guilt and find warm joy and acceptance

How often have you taken a rest day, or indulged in a treat only to feel guilty? Taking care of your body with a healthy diet and exercise does improve your quality of life, but obsessing over what you “should do” disrupts the quality of life you’re working for. When making a health-related decision, ask yourself what is best for you at this moment and for the long term. Check in with yourself to honor all your needs. Then you can make the best possible choice for that moment and eliminate future guilt. Sometimes, rest or a treat is the best choice.

Practice gratitude in abundance

Take time every day to acknowledge what your body does. Appreciating your physical body brings your awareness to everything it does for you, which grows self-love. The more you love your body, the better you treat it. In return, your body can do more for you. It is a cycle of good.

Reconnecting with your body

Your body is constantly trying to communicate with you. It tells you when it is hungry or full, what food it wants, how it wants to move and when it needs to rest. Your body is wise and the more you tune into its innate wisdom, the more effortlessly you will achieve health and wellness. Also, any symptoms of dis-ease are messages our body is sending us. Something in our life is out of balance and is asking for rebalance.

Take responsibility

It’s easy to blame bosses, families, finances, the food industry, and the media. While they may create obstacles, they don’t stop you from reaching your health goals. You have the power to choose and to change. You are in control of your thoughts and actions. Take personal responsibility and you will begin to make positive changes.

Get naked and let love flow

Become comfortable in your birthday suit. Challenge yourself to spend at least 30 seconds in front of a mirror and give yourself two genuine compliments. Dance and feel your body move. You will likely feel awkward at first and that’s okay. The more time you spend naked, the more comfortable you will become.

Observe

Look around you at all the different bodies in the world without judgment. Notice that no two are alike. Each body is the product of a unique blend of genes and lifestyle. Can you see the absurdity in comparing yourself with another body that has a completely different genetic makeup and purpose?

We experience the world through our body and we owe it much gratitude. When we learn to love our bodies, we are able to create and experience more fulfilling and extraordinary lives. When we love ourselves, we can better love others. When we embrace our bodies, we can better embrace the opportunity. When we appreciate our bodies, we will have more in our lives to appreciate. Learning to love your body may seem a challenge, but the rewards are great.

SMART SPRING FASTING WITHOUT FEELING HUNGRY

Posted on : 05-03-2018 | By : Stephan, The Alkaline Diet Guy | In : Alkaline Diet Health Tips, Alkaline Expert Interview, Alkaline Foods and Alkaline Body Care

Gentle, basic and effective: This is how you can start a healthier life.

Traditionally, spring is a classic time for fasting. When nature slowly wakes up from a long winter,  we are easily motivated to break away from old habits and releasing unnecessary weight.

However, many people do not have the time to get away from everyday life for a few days, to abstain from solid food and also to calm down internally. For them, “Alkaline Fasting” can be a good option because this method can be well integrated with work and family.

Fasting

From a naturopathic point of view, a balanced acid-base balance is a prerequisite for health, well-being and efficiency. However, our modern lifestyle often leads to hyperacidity of the organism, especially through an unbalanced diet with many animal products, sugar, white flour, coffee and soft drinks. Often the body cannot neutralize and excrete this excess of acids. The excess is deposited in tissue and undermines the cell metabolism. The consequences can be overweight/obesity, weak connective tissue, but also immunodeficiency and fatigue.

 

Detox your body

A  four-week alkaline fasting breaks this vicious circle. The “fasting” contains an alkaline diet, alkaline body care, moderate exercise and, above all, plenty of water. As a result, acids/toxins should be “flushed” out of your system. Please drink up to 2 litres of alkaline spring water daily, and alkaline tea blends such as Dr P. Jentschura’s 7×7 AlkaHerb detox tea. The tea containing 49 organic herbs will support your cleansing process. During the first week, you drink 250 ml up to one litre per day. In week 2 -4 you enjoy at least one litre of water and tea each per day until the end of the treatment. It is very important to stimulate and support the excretion of toxins and acids via the skin. This is done by daily baths, wraps or showers using alkaline body care salts.

Never feel hungry

Being hungry is not an option during the fasting, on the contrary: delicious dishes made of vegetables and fruits, cereals, nuts, potatoes and high-quality oils taste and really nourish you. Instead of strict rules, the ratio of alkaline to acidic foods should be 80 to 20. However, you should completely avoid eating pork, sausage, white flour products, sugar and sweets during the four-week cure.

Health and Happiness

After an exhausting presentation, some of us experience a migraine attack, after the separation from the partner the skin itches, and in stress the herpes blooms. The body reacts to negative feelings.
 
Positive emotions can influence biochemical processes in our body. Studies have shown that people who regularly experience feelings of love, joy and well-being show a better heart rhythm on the ECG and have a lower risk of infarction. In addition, the immune system of the happy ward off inflammatory processes better. New findings even show that when the psyche changes, the body changes at the cellular level. Positive feelings, so the conclusion, can protect our health.
 
 
The US psychologist Carol Ryff, who is regarded as a pioneer in the field of mental satisfaction, formulated six pillars of well-being: self-acceptance, social relations, autonomy and the purpose of life, active environmental design, and personal growth.
 
Ryff made some interesting observations: people who studied hard in the evenings or helped others in the evenings, for example, were happier in the long run than people who flew into the Caribbean vacation. And: they also warded off infections better.
Psychoneuro immunologist Michael Antoni from Florida also believes that positive changes in the psyche are manifesting in the body. Antoni set up a stress management program for breast cancer patients: In ten sessions of two hours, participants received training to reduce their fears and exercises from imaginative psychotherapy. The result of his long-term study: The positive effect of stress reduction could even be observed at the cellular level. After years, the test subjects had fewer metastasis genes active.
Self-acceptance promotes happiness: people who constantly focus on their weaknesses sabotage their well-being and produced a bad mood. Also, those who ask themselves what they can do for society and thus define a purpose in life, therefore, promote their sense of well-being.
Here is another tip to deeply feel good and positive about your self: people should focus on their strengths. It is one of the key insights of Positive Psychology: “Build, what’s strong” – strong, which is good. These so-called signature strengths, which are written on one’s body, should be used in as many areas as possible. Sometimes that even brings a flow feeling – and it keeps you healthy.
Support your happiness via:
– Physical exercise
– Meditation, prayer, and belief
– Inspiring books, movies, and lectures
– Yoga, dancing, swimming, walks in nature
– Meeting inspiring positive friends
– Give meaning to existing relationships
– Deep relaxation and sufficient sleep

Clean Foods and Drinks

We believe in mother nature: our bodies are running great with lots of spring water and of course lots of movement/exercise.

And the main emphasis should be on greens, organic salads, veggies, juices and smoothies. Our body needs the organic, bio available minerals to chemically buffer toxins/acids. That is the real “alkaline” movement. Because of a very acidic life style with poor diet, little exercise and lots of stress people are mineral depleted.

We do not recommend chemically, synthetically generated mineral/vitamins because the body can absorb only little of those. E.g. women who take calcium supplements have a 30% increased risk of heart attack.

Sea water is alkaline and rich in minerals but if you drink only sea water you die in a few days because of kidney failure. Last week a woman contacted me because of her kidney stones. She had been taking lots of a very expensive “alkaline mineral powder” for 1,5 years. Not good.

Again, try to only ingest foods and drinks you fully understand without a chemistry degree 🙂

Here is more info on organic vs inorganic minerals:

Organic and inorganic Minerals – what’s the difference?

by Peita Handel, BSc, Ad. Dip. (Herbal Medicine)

We often think of ‘organic’ in terms of chemical and hormone-free produce. But when we talk about minerals, the term organic relates to the type of molecule it’s bound to.

These ‘extra’ molecules are needed because minerals are not simply absorbed on their own, they need another molecule to help them get into and around the body. The type of molecule bound to your mineral affects how it is absorbed and utilised by your body.

Mineral supplements, why bother in the first place?
Because we often just don’t get enough. For example, many Australian adults consume less than the average recommended dietary intakes (RDIs) for both zinc and magnesium. You are at particular risk of not meeting your mineral needs if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, female over 65, vegetarian, vegan or an athlete.

Key minerals that your body needs:
• Magnesium: nerve and muscle function, bone health, carbohydrate metabolism, energy production, blood glucose regulation, cardiovascular health

• Calcium: bone mineralisation, density and strength, dental health, premenstrual syndrome, nerve and muscle function

• Zinc: healthy immune function, reproductive health, healthy hair, skin and nails, wound healing, digestive function, vision, hearing, sense of taste and smell

• Iron: tissue oxygenation, energy production, immune function, connective tissue health, cardiovascular health

When you consider magnesium is needed for over 500 enzyme reactions in your body, you can see why getting enough of this mineral is so important. Where it gets tricky is knowing what to look for when faced with shelves displaying a range of different compounds for similar sounding products. There might well be a dozen different types of magnesium supplement, but what is the difference?

The main differentiating factor is whether a compound is organic or inorganic. Understanding this is key when choosing a mineral supplement that delivers, because not all are created equal.

So what is an organic mineral?
An organic mineral is a compound containing organic food-based acids, such as amino acids and citric acid. For example, calcium bound to the amino acid glycinate forms the organic compound calcium glycinate.

Mineral supplements often contain inorganic (rock-based) minerals as these are cheaper to produce. Calcium bound to phosphate makes calcium phosphate, which has different properties to its organic counterpart.

Inorganic minerals are difficult to absorb
Put basically, molecules are more stable when holding hands with a buddy. A free unbound mineral will wander looking for something with the opposite charge to grab onto to.

Inorganic compounds are broken down by your body very quickly and dissociate more readily, and this leaves the unbound mineral in a more reactive and less stable state.

It can then interact in your digestive system in the following ways:

• Bind to other compounds – unbound minerals bind with other molecules such as phytates found in nuts, grains and some vegetables. They form a new compound and this traps the mineral from absorption and utilisation by your body.

• Irritate the gut – unbound minerals can also interact and irritate with the lining of your digestive system and this sometimes causes a laxative effect or diarrhoea.

Organic minerals are generally absorbed better
Organic minerals break down more slowly, and this increases their stability. A mineral that remains bound for longer is less reactive and goes where it is meant to, offering two main benefits:

• Higher bioavailability – organic mineral compounds can travel along the gut without getting trapped by other compounds.

• Decreased gut irritation – a bound mineral is less reactive and so less likely to irritate the gut lining like freed minerals can.
