🍚 Want to make your rice even more healthier?
Here are 5 easy tips to do just that!

✅ Soak and wash
• Wash rice thoroughly to remove impurities and soak it for 2 hours. This helps lower its glycemic index, potentially reducing the risk of blood sugar spikes.

✅ Boil and remove the foam
• Skim off the excess starch, phytic acid and impurities from the rice. This makes it more diabetic friendly as it doesn’t cause a sugar spike.

✅ Add a bay leaf
• Adding a bay leaf not only adds nutrients but also makes rice easier to digest with its warming properties.

✅ Add coconut oil
• Adding 1 tsp of coconut oil or any healthy fat while cooking can reduce the glycemic index by 50%, making it beneficial for those with insulin resistance.

✅ Add lemon
• Adding lemon at the end makes nutrients easier to absorb.

⁉️Do you have a question about Colon Hydrotherapy you're dying to ask?

Txt Marcella on 780 370-0544 or book in a free consultation for a chat!

Here are a few FAQ's we were asked this week:

• Can this procedure help me loose weight?

After your sessions, a person may find that they have lost a few pounds, but this results from losing water and f***l matter only.

• What comes out during a session?

During colon hydrotherapy, the water used to flush the colon carries out impacted f***l matter, gas, and mucus along with other waste material such as dead parasites.

Is colon hydrotherapy painful?

No. It may feel a little strange as the small tube is inserted, and you may have a natural urge to squeeze it out again, but this passes quickly.

❓Did you know baking soda offers several health benefits? Here's the top 4!

• Heartburn & Indigestion:
Baking soda is an antacid that neutralizes stomach acid, providing temporary relief from heartburn and a sour stomach. Dissolve about half a teaspoon in a glass of water and drink!

• Athletic Performance:
Ingesting baking soda before exercise can boost endurance and performance during high-intensity activities like cycling, running, and swimming by reducing muscle acidity.

• Skin Soothing:
A bath with baking soda can help soothe itchy, irritated skin, sunburns, and insect bites. A paste of baking soda and water can also be applied to insect bites.

• Oral Health:
Toothpaste with baking soda can help prevent tooth decay and freshen breath. You can also mix half a teaspoon of baking soda in a glass of water as a mouth rinse.

✨ Do you experience any of these symptoms regularly?

Malabsorption is a condition where the intestines fail to properly absorb nutrients, vitamins, and minerals from food into the bloodstream, leading to indigestion and potential malnutrition.

It can be caused by various underlying conditions, including diseases of the intestine (like Celiac disease), problems with the pancreas that produce digestive enzymes, infections, intestinal surgery, or changes in gut bacteria.

Malabsorption occurs when 1 or more parts of the digestive process fail. Examples include:

• Problems with the small intestine: Conditions like Celiac disease, Crohn's disease, or damage from radiation can damage the lining of the small intestine, preventing proper absorption of nutrients.

• Lack of digestive enzymes: The pancreas produces enzymes crucial for breaking down and absorbing fats, proteins, and carbohydrates.
Diseases such as cystic fibrosis or chronic pancreatitis can reduce these enzymes, making nutrient absorption difficult.

• Intestinal surgery: Removing a part of the small intestine can reduce the surface area available for nutrient absorption.

• Other factors: Infections from parasites or bacteria, certain medications, and problems with bile production from the liver can also contribute to malabsorption.

🐮 Did you know bone broth supports the body during cold season by providing:

• Hydration
• Electrolytes
• Nutrients from amino acids

✔️ Bone broth is primarily water, which is crucial for keeping you hydrated, especially when sick.

✔️ The warm steam and liquid can help soothe a sore throat and loosen congestion, making it easier to breathe and clear your airways.

✔️ Bone broth is nutrient-dense but also easy to digest, making it a good choice when your appetite is low.

✔️ The collagen and amino acids in bone broth contribute to gut health and balance, which is closely linked to a strong immune system.

✅ Tips for your first appointment!

• BEFORE YOUR APPOINTMENT •

Eat Lightly: Avoid heavy meals for a few hours prior to your session. Also avoid gas forming foods like broccoli, onions, legumes and wheat products for at least 24 hours prior to your appointment.

Hydrate Well: Drink plenty of water or herbal tea and steer clear of alcohol and caffeine which can be dehydrating.

• DURING YOUR VISIT •
Medical History: You will have a private discussion with your therapist about your health and why you are seeking the treatment.

The Process: The therapist will explain how the system works and ensure you are comfortable at all times.

Comfort & Safety: The Angel of Water system is a sealed, clean, and hygienic system that uses water at a safe temperature and pressure. A disposable speculum is used for each person.

Feelings During the Treatment: You might experience some strange sensations or mild cramping and pressure as the colon contracts, but this is usually temporary and passes quickly.

• AFTER YOUR APPOINTMENT •
You can usually carry on with your daily routine immediately after the treatment.

Potential Discomfort: Some people may feel tired, light-headed, or experience a few subsequent bowel movements.

Rest and Replenish: If you feel fatigued, rest and consider replacing your electrolytes with a mild vegetable broth or peppermint tea.

🍂With our season changing quickly you may notice everyone getting a cold!

When you’re coughing, sneezing, or have an itchy nose, dry air can be extra aggravating. Air that’s dry can also flare eczema, trigger nosebleeds, increase dry eye and make any cold or flu feel more miserable.

Humidifiers and v***rizers can both be used to increase the humidity in your home.

• What do humidifiers do? •

One type of cool-mist humidifier uses ultrasonic vibrations to disperse a cool mist of water into the air. Another uses a disk submerged in the machine that is rapidly turned. As it moves, it breaks up the water into tiny particles that can be inhaled.

• What do v***rizers do? •

A steam v***rizer uses electricity to power a heating element. It boils water and creates steam. The steam cools down before it leaves the machine, enters the air, and reaches the body through your breathing. Some people feel that since the air is boiled before it is condensed into a v***r, that makes this type of appliance more hygienic.

Which one works best for you?
