The power of dry and wet brushing

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?

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.

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.
