Gratitude (Part 2)

As humans we are not hardwired to be grateful - it just doesn't come naturally.

It is so much easier to grumble and complain - specially on the times that we are currently living were an increasing amount of the information that we are receiving just focuses on the negative aspect of our environment and life.

We focus on the partner that doesn't understand us.

We focus on the bad traffic that is on our way to work

We focus on the lack of money in our bank account

or a hundred different things

Instead of beign grateful for ...

That partner that is with us despite the adversities that we have gone through

Living in a modern society were a multiple hours of journey can be transitioned in a couple of minutes

Having the ability to obtain income were many are unable or extremely limited to do it.

Live a life were the focus is in the the things that you have instead of the ones that you are lacking.

Believe me that I know it is sometimes not easy to do, having a daily gratefulness practice can change your life by...

Tapping into the beauty of the world around you

Changing your focus from lack into abundance

Giving you inner peace

Changing the perspective on a problem that you have

11/26/2020

To Everyone;

You are the creator
of your own garden.

Plant kindness and compassion

Water with love and gratitude.

And you will enjoy beauty
all the days of your life.

- Poem by Julie Parker

I hope ypou enjoy a day filled with grace and love.

Have a happy THANKS-giving day.

Detoxification (Part 2)

You are a detoxifier!!

Your body is constantly detoxifying through your main emunctories (AKA - Organs of elimination).

The problem is when they are overburden by our daily actions like: not sleeping well, not drinking enough fluid, lacking in fiber, eating nutrient depleted foods.

That is when we can get in a pickle.

Sadly we are living in a toxic world at the moment. There are thousands of chemicals approve by different governmental entities that can have an effect in your physiology and you don't event know it.

These are your main organs of elimination and what you need to do to provide some support to them:

Colon: Fiber and fermented foods.

Lungs: Work on that deep breathing.

Liver: Eating a variety of vegetables (you need certain nutrients to help this big detoxifier)

Kidneys: Increase your water intake.

Lymph (I would call this the most ignore organ system, but that's just me): water, movement. Movement will help the lymph flow in your body.

I just wanted to re-introduce myself for those of you that are new following me.

My name is Dr. Santiago Nevarez and I am a Naturopathic Doctor and Licensed Acupuncturist. This means that I went to a 5 year medical school program to learn how to approach health and disease from a completely different perspective.

Through my clinical training I have learned how to see the body’s physiological function as an integrated whole. Each system of the body works in conjunction to manifest health, and when one of these systems becomes imbalanced, it can present in many different ways depending on the individual. So I approach every patient from their own individual perspectives. My approach helps me bridge the worlds of mind, body, and spirit through a detailed and systematic model of diagnosis and treatment.

In summary, I work to optimize your health and help you meet your goals through my extensive training in a number of medical systems oriented toward restoring health, preventing disease, and promoting wellness. If you or a loved one is struggling through your health challenges connect with me so that I can hear your story and see if there is a way that I can serve you.

Detoxification ( Part 1)

The topic of the week this time is Detoxification. What is it and what you can do in your daily lives to improve it.

There is a lot of misinformation out there about what detoxifying is and what is not

First of all you need to understand that our bodies are constantly detoxifying (The proper scientific term is Deconjugation but everyone kind of knows what detoxifying is) through our main organs of detoxifications (In traditional medicine these organs are known as emunctories) which include: lungs, liver, intestine and kidneys.

There are many "fast detox programs" out there that include 5 days juice cleanses or do this gallbladder flush or the master cleanse and many others that keep popping up which makes it really difficult to track.

My official stance about detoxification is that detox is not an isolated event done in a couple of days, but a daily lifestyle practice that needs to be optimize as much as possible. I do recommend detoxification programs, but it is more from an educational aspect rather than a cleansing the body from all toxins in a week aspect.

Hydration (Part 3)

8 glasses of water a day its just a more or less acurate description.

Some people need more and some less.

So do not get frustrated or try to swallow an excessive amount of water before going to bed juist to accomplish your goal.

Most individuals will be fine if they become more aware of when they are thirsty and drink enough water for their mouths to not feel dry.

Here are some simple strategies to keep your hydration up throughout the day:

1) Keep multiple water containers around (Glass or stainless steel are my particular preference): the more you have an easily obtainable source of water the more you are bound to drink it.

2) 1-to-1 challenge: Every time you drink a soda, coffee or juice, immediately afterwards drink some water.

3) Make your water taste different: you will be surprised what a slice of lemon or some mint leaves could do to change the taste of your water so that you drink more of it.

4) Know your volume: know how many ounzes you are taking by knowing how many are in your bottles, it's always good to measure results.

Hydration (Part 2)

Many of the problems that come with hydration (or I guess the lack of hydration. Is that there are many small symptoms throughout our day that we usually do not associate with the need of water.

Of course hydration is not the only cause of all the symptoms that I am mentioning below, but it is a good first step to start working with.

By increasing your consumption of water you decrease the crave for other fluids like sodas and juices.

The biggest recommendation that I can give is to be in tune with your body and listen to it. Since the language of the body are the symptoms that you get.

Hydration and it's multiple benefits (Part 1)

Like the title says this week will be discussing Hydration.

You are probably tired of hearing out about how important water is.

Probably heard so many times that your body is made from 60 - 70% (which technically is not true, since it's made of fluids like plasma, blood, etc.… but I will not get too technical here).

We know how important water is for our bodies in terms of detoxification and maintenance of overall health.

The problem comes when we are not in tune with our bodies and miss some of the mild signs that are associated with lack of water. If you constantly experience any of the following, try increasing your daily H2O intake:

· Headaches

· Lightheadedness

· Fatigue

· Low Blood Pressure

· Skin Eruptions

· Mental Fog

· Sugar Cravings

· Dry Mouth

If there is one action that you can learn to improve in your daily routine which can leadyou to feel more relaxed, improve your overall health and help improve your circulation.

Well look no further than the topic that we have been writing about this whole week whcih is the art of breathing.

there are many techniques that follow strict guidelines but I believe that as long as youfocus on breathing in and out through the nose slowly

Here are a few tips to improve your breathing:

1. Breathe deep through the nose up to a count of 5

2. Then hold your breath in for a slow count of 5

3. Then let go of your breath through your nose through a count of 5.

4. During the inhalation and exhalation, make sure that you are moving
your belly in and out. This will make sure that you are engaging your
diaphragm.

More than 40% of our population have some sort of chronic nasal congestion.

The causes can be due to several causes like: dry air, stress, inflammation, allergies, pollution or pharmaceuticals.

When the nasal cavity gets congested you have the perfect recipe to develop overgrowth of bacteria in a dark humid place like the nasal cavity.

These bacteria can lead to colds and congestion in the upper respiratory tract which can lead to more congestion.

In ancient China the breath taken through the mouth was labeled as an dversed breath that is extremely harmful.

If this is something that we have known for thousands of years, I can't even phantom why it has been ignored forso long in our current society.

But we are growing and we are learning. We are learning that chornically breating through our mouths can lead to several chronic conditions.

Learn to be conscious on the way that you breath.
