Breathe , I say. Of course I'm breathing you say, I would be dead if I wasn't, Dummy! We can survive for around 3 weeks without food or 3 days without water. We cannot survive more than 5 - 6 minutes without breathing! Did you know that the ‘simple’ act of breathing properly immediately boosts the immune system! When you breathe unconsciously its like watching a video that keeps buffering, it doesn't flow, the quality is poor and you have to keep pausing it to try to get it to play well. A similar thing happens in your body when you do not breathe properly. Your body doesn't get enough oxygen and doesn't release the carbon dioxide waste so as it all builds up you have less energy and the body becomes out of balance leading to dis-ease.  Transform your breathing , transform your health! Breathing not only supplies our organs with oxygen, it also rids the body of waste products and toxins. When we are in pain, stressed or anxious we have a tendency to hold our breath or breathe shallow breathes. This sends a distress signal to our brain and can make the situation worse. By using breathing exercises we can avoid this and improve our health.Sound good? So let´s have a look! Are you a chest breather? or a belly breather? Place your right hand on your chest and your left hand on your belly. Breathe in , which hand moves higher. If your right hand is higher, you are a chest breather. If your left hand is higher, you are an belly breather. When you are chest breathing it is inefficient because then the greatest amount of blood flow occurs in the lower lobes of the lungs, areas that have limited air expansion in chest breathers. Rapid, shallow, chest breathing results in less oxygen transfer to the blood and subsequent poor delivery of nutrients to the tissues as well as retained carbon dioxide in the body. This is a learned habit, so therefore, like when you learn to drive, you can train the body to improve its breathing technique. If you do this consciously and regularly you will breathe from the belly most of the time, even while asleep.  Breathe Daily exercises Breathing exercises should be done at least twice a day, when you wake up and before you go to sleep.It is also beneficial to do them if you feel stressed, anxious or are in pain.

  Calling all dieters....hear ye! hear ye! So you want to lose weight. You have tried all the diets, starved yourself exercised until you ache all over and it´s just not working. or... You managed the diet , exercised, looking great however struggling to keep to what you feel is your ideal weight. The reason? What you believe about dieting and how to lose weight is arse about face as we say in Scotland. Successful dieting is not about losing the excess fat, it´s about keeping it off. Diets, no matter what kind, don´t work. As soon as you come off the diet the weight starts piling on again, and it´s harder to shift this time around. That´s why most diets are referred to as the yo-yo diet. This is the BIGGY - diets are NOT a long term solution to weight control. As always I like to KISS - Keep It Super Simple In order to lose weight and keep your ideal weight you need to first of all
Then and this is what we need to look at arse about face.......
In general the only people that think about their blood sugar are people who have been diagnosed as diabetic, however, this is the key to successful weight loss and control. Your body is constantly striving for balance, when any system is out of balance it results in dis - ease and your health suffers. Every illness and disease is simply an imbalance in the body. Find the imbalance, correct it and we restore health. Excess weight is an imbalance in the body. Your blood sugar level is the amount of glucose, from what you eat, that’s circulating in your bloodstream to provide energy to cells immediately or be stored for future use. When we eat, our body converts carbohydrates into glucose, this is how we get our energy. When our blood sugar levels rise the body produces a hormone called insulin in order to allow the glucose to enter your cells and give you energy. Interestingly stress causes glucose to be released and insulin to be suppressed. Insulin and weight gain When glucose is able to enter your cells then glucose levels in your blood drop. The higher your blood sugar , the more insulin you produce. Glucose that your body cells do not use accumulates as fat. If you have too much insulin circulating it will also hinder the body´s ability to break down fat. So as you can see increased blood sugar leads to increased insulin production. Ironically, not getting enough sugar can also lead to putting on extra pounds! Eating too little glucose can lead to a low blood sugar level, causing your body to go into “starvation mode” and then it will burn your lean muscle instead of the fat . So how do we do this using the KISS method? 1. Make sure you drink enough good water daily. Are you hungry or thirsty? Quite often when we feel hungry the body is actually thirsty. Water helps the body metabolize stored fat, rid the body of waste (as in unwanted fat and toxins), and is a natural diuretic and a natural laxative. The way to tell if you are hydrated enough is how often you have to pee and whether your urine is clear with no strong smell. If you do not have to pee every 1 - 1.5 hours during the day and your urine is concentrated and smells then you need to drink more water. What simpler way could the body have to tell us we are dehydrated. How many of us listen! 2. Maintain a healthy acid/alkaline balance in the body. This can be done with diet. 3. Get to know your body and how your eating and stress levels affect your blood glucose. Avoid eating white flour products , eat more fruit, vegetables, nuts and berries.( these all help to burn fat and maintain blood glucose levels) Avoid drinking soda, replace with carbonated water if you need the bubbles! 4. MOVE You do not have to suddenly become the most frequent visitor at the gym. Take a walk, stretch and bend, whatever you are doing do it consciously and exaggerate the movement a little. 5. Relax! The biggest hurdle people face when they are focusing on their weight is , they are focusing on losing weight which "stresses" them and makes it more difficult. Change the focus = lose the weight! The above is meant to give you an oversight into how easy it can be to maintain your natural body weight. It does not have to be difficult and it is not about depriving yourself. If you would like more details contact me for a chat!    Proper breathing is one of the most beneficial things that you can do for your physical and emotional health.
We can survive for a time without food or even water. We cannot survive without breathing! Breathing not only supplies our organs with oxygen, it also rids the body of waste products and toxins. When we are in pain, stressed or anxious we have a tendency to hold our breathe or breathe shallow breathes. This sends a distress signal to our brain and can make the situation worse. By using breathing exercises we can avoid this. Are you a chest breather? or an abdomen breather? Place your right hand on your chest and your left hand on your abdomen. Breathe in , which hand moves higher. If your right hand is higher, you are a chest breather. If your left hand is higher, you are an abdomen breather. When you are Chest breathing it is inefficient because then the greatest amount of blood flow occurs in the lower lobes of the lungs, areas that have limited air expansion in chest breathers.

My challenge to those of you who are up for it is to notice what your body is telling you.
Over the next week notice how you react to different people and situations. Do you spend more time in a heavy body or a light body? What feels better to you? Let me know how you get on, and remember…. you always have a choice! If you would like to know more about FasterEFT and how to FLIP IT please feel free to contact me: linda@lindaledwidge.com or click here. You can also see FasterEFT guru Robert G. Smith at work here.  Since the beginning of time the wise ones have known that food is medicine.
Many people today do not think about what they eat in this way. Our body cannot thrive or survive without balance. Our body will do whatever it takes to maintain balance, it will take whatever nutrients it requires from the body´s own stores, it will oxygenate the vital organs before the hair, nails and skin and it will compensate for physical imbalance of the skeleton. The most vital balance in the body is the acid / alkaline balance also known as PH balance. Our blood PH has a very small range of between 7.35 - 7.45. OUR BODY PH BALANCE IS VITAL TO OUR LIFE and OUR HEALTH ! An imbalance in the body´s PH may lead to serious health issues such as: Heart problems Weight gain / loss Chronic fatigue Cancer Arthritis Diabetes Immune problems Colds and many more ........and, if left unchecked eventually death. Research has proven that disease CANNOT SURVIVE in an alkaline environment, however it THRIVES in an acidic environment. We all have different nutritional requirements, however if out blood is not alkaline, we will become unwell. There are 2 types of nutrition that we have to look at :
If our intrinsic nutrition is not working efficiently our diet is ineffective. You can eat and drink a "healthy" diet however if the body is unable to get the nutrients to the cells and the cells are unable to process it you are wasting your time. In order for our intrinsic nutrition to function it requires :
ALL of the above are easy to achieve. If you are interested in reaching and maintaining your optimum health contact me NOW! |
