The Sun is our friend! We get so many benefits from it. Make sure you get at least 20 minutes of daily sun exposure once the warmer weather comes.

Ditch the sunscreen and sunglasses for those 20 minutes and let the rays of the sun enter through your skin and retina in your eye, this will create a chemical conversion that will increase your serotonin which is the “feel good” hormone. Low levels of serotonin is linked to major depression.
The sun also decreases our viral load and helps to fight off infections!

So get out there and embrace the sunshine!

Mangos 🥭🥭🥭
We love mangos! They are a staple in our house and my 13yr daughter loves them! I buy them at Costco and if they are still a little green, I keep them in the pantry until they are ripe and ready to eat. It’s a perfect after-school snack for kids and a great mid-day snack for adults (we like them with a little Tajin for spicy kick). They help with insomnia, so you can also eat them before bedtime.😴

Mangos are loaded with so many health benefits and have been proven to possess unique medicinal and nutritional qualities, they are rich in minerals and vitamins A, C, E and B-complex. Mangos are a powerful anti-cancer food and are specifically known to help prevent lung, breast, colon, prostate, blood, and oral cancers. Mangos do wonders for skin health and may prevent skin aging. Mangos are sometimes referred to as the “King of Fruits”, and even though they are very popular in Mexico, they are the national fruit of India, 🇮🇳 and they are mentioned prominently in the old Sanskrit scriptures and literature.📖

In Mexico, 🇲🇽 they are abundant during the rain season. My mom tells me stories that even when not having a whole lot of money to buy and prepare food, she would take us kids to the mango orchards in Sinaloa, where she would pay a small fee and we would have all day to eat mangos until we were fat and happy and take bags home filled with mangos to last us for days. Although I don’t remember a whole lot of my life in Mexico, I do know that I was always well fed, even if it was only mangos we had to eat.

Friday Feng Shui Tip ☯️

REPAIR LEAKY FAUCETS AND TOILETS 🚽

In Feng Shui water 💧 is a sign of prosperity and abundance. When water is leaking, your prosperity is literally going down the drain. 💸

Two of the sneakiest drains on your finances are leaky faucets and toilets that leak or run all the time. When you have leaky faucets and toilets, your finances are being syphoned off with unexpected expenses or a constant out-flow or income and resources. 💰

When I think back to when I started having financial slowdowns, it did coincide with the onset of a leaky toilet. In my case, the leaky toilet did not fall in the wealth and prosperity area of my home, but it still impacted our cashflow and once found, we immediately took care of it.🔧

If you have a dripping faucet or leak in the ceiling or toilet, be sure to take care of it right away. When you fix something in your home, you are fixing your life! 🏠♥️

“She sat at the back and they said she was shy,
She led from the front and they hated her pride,
They asked her advice and then questioned her guidance,
They branded her loud, then were shocked by her silence,
When she shared no ambition they said it was sad,
So she told them her dreams and they said she was mad,
They told her they'd listen, then covered their ears,
And gave her a hug while they laughed at her fears,
And she listened to all of it thinking she should,
Be the girl they told her to be best as she could,
But one day she asked what was best for herself,
Instead of trying to please everyone else,
So she walked to the forest and stood with the trees,
She heard the wind whisper and dance with the leaves,
She spoke to the willow, the elm and the pine,
And she told them what she'd been told time after time,
She told them she felt she was never enough,
She was either too little or far far too much,
Too loud or too quiet, too fierce or too weak,
Too wise or too foolish, too bold or too meek,
Then she found a small clearing surrounded by firs,
And she stopped...and she heard what the trees said to her,
And she sat there for hours not wanting to leave,
For the forest said nothing, it just let her breathe”…

It is interesting how over the last few years of 'pandemania', there has been a surge in people wanting to know how to build their health, avoid medications as much as possible and come off medications if possible, learn about nutrition, understand their immune system...ask more questions. This is good news.

Firstly, this FB page is for information purposes only, please do your own research, ask your doctor/health professional about any health concerns you may have, seek professional advise when required. Be sensible. 🙏

Hormones is a subject dear to all of us, and we ALL have hormones whether we love them, hate them, or feel indifferent about them. I am referring to the s*x hormones here.....so you may actually decide you love them 😍

Just have a think about this....when women are prescribed hormones, be it for birth control, acne, irregular periods, painful periods menopausal depression, hot flushes, rage, PCOS etc...why are their hormone levels not tested first? ...if hormones have the potential to switch on cancer genes, WHY are they not taken seriously before being prescribed? ...have a think about that first. Is it that women lost 'sovereignty' over their bodies? Till this day, I very clearly remember being taught about the hormonal cycle by my male lecturer when I was studying the pharmacology of drugs AND how cleverly these synthetic hormones can 'fiddle' with the hormonal rhythm.

Why is a woman not tested to see
1. Is she producing the hormone? If so how much?
2. Is it being transported safely? Or roaming free like a 'maniac'
3. Is her body (her receptors) responding to the hormone, in other words is her body hearing them? And then CARRYING out the message
4. Once the hormone has achieved it's 'goal', is it removed, i.e. metabolised/detoxed and is it detoxed efficiently and effectively?

A blood test WILL NOT tell you this, and a blood test done on a random day is just extracting the urine in my opinion.

ALL women know that their hormonal pattern pre-ovulation differs from post-ovulation, and these patterns differ during the bleed. So it would be of no surprise to any woman that hormonal levels will vary or SHOULD vary on a blood test pre and post ovulation...correct?

So how is it that, this is not taken into consideration? A women's hormonal make up is very different to a man's hormonal make up, so why treat a woman pharmacologically like a man?

Western medicine is based on a masculine system, the feminine energy is 'kind of' way back off stage.

If you are on the birth control pill have you read the potential side effects?
If you are on HRT, do you know if you are metabolising the HRT efficiently?

If you are on estrogen and your liver is kind of on a 'holiday' then you can be setting yourself up for a variety of health issues, from cancer through to heart disease, anxiety, depression, bleeding, etc...

This is not to 'scare the bejeebers' out of you, BUT it is to encourage you to start to ask questions, to understand your body, your cyclical rhythm.

People of late have been ridiculed for using or believing in a drug for the current pathogen because it is used in horses ...but did you know that Premarin, a synthetic form of estrogen is from horse urine?

How is it, one drug is ok that has side effects of cell proliferation and another is frowned upon yet has saved lives.

Is it not time for every single woman to know what she is putting into her body, and the body of her children?....Until the Western medical system shifts to a more feminine energy this black and white thinking of this masculine medicine will continue to create more disease than CURE. In Ayurvedic medicine, in Chinese medicine the feminine energy of plants or nature of mother earth is HONOURED...as it is in HOMEOPATHY. These healing modalities are based in HEALing not in managing, not on 'one size fits all'. Have you sat in a homeopathic session? All those questions, which doctor asks you 'how do you feel about your dog dying? What foods do you crave? What does that pain feel like?

Combining the two energies, just like the yin and yang, acid and alkali, dark and light is where there is balance and healing and FREEDOM. There is no balance without the masculine and there is no balance without the feminine....

So next time you consider a synthetic hormone, be it bio-identical or not, ask the above questions....am I producing this hormone, and if so how much? Is it being carried around safely and to the right places? Is it being 'heard'? And then is it being cleaned out once it has done it's thing?

Women are complex, beautiful creations, there is no guide or drug book on how to run them. Thank goodness 🤩
