Are you on my detox plan?


Raw Vegan Humus Recipe 




Chickpeas

Chickpeas are a rich source of protein, manganese, iron, and fibre. They have a lovely nutty flavour.

I have taken my Raw Humus Recipe from my book The Power of Living Raw to another whole level of taste for you. 





While on your detox chick peas are a great way to Leto your protein intake up and keep you satisfied and full. 

Use this recipe to add flavor to your raw vegetables or salads. 

RAW SPROUTED HUMMUS

Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried garbanzo beans or 2 cups sprouted chickpeas
  • 2 heaping tablespoons tahini
  • 2 heaping tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 large cloves garlic
  • juice of 2 medium lemons
  • 1/4 cup purified water, + more as needed to thin
  • 1 tablespoon cumin
  • 2 teaspoons coriander
  • dash or two cayenne pepper, optional
  • himalayan salt to taste
Drain and rinse the chickpeas. Add all the ingredients to the bowl of a blender or food processor. 
Start on low speed and gradually increase to high speed. Blend well, for 4–5 minutes until creamy 
and smooth. If the hummus is too thick, add 1 tablespoon of water or olive oil. Store in a glass jar in 
the refrigerator for 3 days.

Sauerkraut ~ Plant Based Whole Food Goodness

Sauerkraut
 
The lactic acid process that naturally preserves sauerkraut is ripe with probiotic power. The good bacteria 
that are common to preserved food include Lactobacillus acidophilus, L. bulgaricus, L. plantarum, L. caret, 
L. pentoaceticus, L. brevis and L. thermophiles. There is a wide range of healthy bacteria responsible for 
these tasty ferments, so you won’t find the same good bacteria count in every batch, but what you will find 
is a product brimming with healthy probiotics that will help ensure good gut health.
1 red cabbage
2 carrots
2 tablespoons Himalayan pink salt 
1 teaspoon celery seeds
1 teaspoon dill seeds, divided
1 teaspoon black peppercorns, divided
1 bay leaf
Shred, slice or grate the cabbage and carrots and place in a large bowl.
Add the salt and toss to combine, then set aside for 30 minutes.
Knead the vegetables by pressing them down with your hands. Tip them into a mason jar, add the 
spices or any other spices you like and press down on the vegetables. Water will leach from the 
vegetables, then over time it will subside. 
If there is no water you can make a brine, to help cover the vegetables. To make the brine, bring 1⁄2 
cup water and a 1⁄2 teaspoon Himalayan salt to the boil and stir until the salt dissolves, then leave to 
cool. Pour over the vegetables, leaving 1 in (2.5 cm) of head space in each jar. Add a weight to help 
press the vegetables down Seal the jars. You will see them bubbling over the next few days.
Once a day loosen the lid to let the fermentation gases escape. Push any vegetables that have worked 
their way up the side of the jar or around the weight back down into the liquid.
As the lactic acid bacteria proliferates, the cabbage will turn into sauerkraut. Theoretically the 
cabbage is ALIVE with probiotics, and by day 4 it can be eaten. However, for best flavour leave it for 
1–3 weeks. Warmer climates speed up fermentation, while cooler temperatures slow the process. 
Refrigerating slows down the process so once ready store in the refrigerator.

Why Detox?

Why Detox? 



Detoxification is one of the body’s most basic automatic functions of eliminating and
neutralizing toxins through the colon, liver, kidneys, lungs, lymph and skin. Unfortunately in
this day and age, the lifestyle majority of the world are living with pollution found in the air,
water and food people eat, our bodies have a hard time keeping up. A chemicalised diet with
too much animal protein, too much saturated and trans fats, too much caffeine and alcohol
and added stress radically alters our internal ecosystem.
Body systems and organs that were once capable of naturally cleaning out unwanted
substances are now completely over-loaded to the point where toxic material remains inside
our tissues. Our bodies try to protect us from dangerous substances by isolating and
surrounding them with mucous and fat so that they will not cause an imbalance or trigger an
immune response (some people carry this as extra weight gain which is mucous that harbors
this waste).
It is especially important for immune-compromised diseases like cancer, arthritis, diabetes
and chronic fatigue
Detoxification through special cleansing diets is the best way to assist your body’s natural
self-cleaning system. However, I have personally found even if your diet is good, a spring
cleanse can revitalize your system and rid your body of harmful bacteria, viruses and
parasites. It is a 5-Day step process that your mind and body will highly benefit from. 

It's a good idea to know what your doing while giving your body a gentle cleanse and getting your mindset on the right channel to help you through, that's why I have created my programs to help you step by step, all you have to do is follow. 

A detox program or retreat once to three times a year is a highly beneficial
Way to invest in your body, your temple, after all you only get one chance at looking after this physical body in this physical life. Your soul will love it then the transformation journey to living a more enlightened and aligned life happens simultaneously.

My next once a year high end BALI BODY WORKS WELLNESS RETREAT is coming up soon. 31 JULY -8 AUGUST You can choose 3 Day, 5 Day to 8 DAY Full immersion.

INFLAMMATION & UNDERSTANDING YOUR BODY

UNDERSTANDING YOUR BODY 


INFLAMMATION ~ a common problem in today's world! 


This week I will discuss what foods and supplements help to reduce inflammation and what foods could be causing increased inflammation in the body.
 Unless you are eating and supplementing to account for this, you could be seriously impeding your results and negatively impacting your training sessions. Look out for my next blog with an easy to follow list of how you can create change and eliminate inflammation. 

Any athlete who pounds his or her body day  in and day out with intense training, cycling, sprints, long weekend runs, and the list goes on, is inflamed in some way. These activities all have a profound impact on the body. Not only do they initiate increases in strength, muscle growth, and increased endurance, but they also increase the amount of inflammation in the body. This inflammation could be from stress and the subsequent cortisol release into the body, the swelling of joints, or the breaking down and building back up of muscle protein. Even working in the same job doing the same repetitive action with your body can cause inflammation! Mine was exactly that. 
Check out the image in the header, when I started YOGA I could barely lock out my elbows, and feet then back beside my ways. The cause was from 20 years hairdressing, causing joint pain in my elbows and knuckles. I thought I was heading for serous carpel  tunnel surgery! Yoga healed me! I had other major issues join in but that's for another time. 

Try the posture above, stand in the front of a mirror. Reach up towards the ceiling, try to lock out elbows, arms with your ears. Bend your body with out compromising those steps. BREATHE! 

I see it often on my classes, tight shoulders, swelling  around knee joints, sore back, hip joints, knees and ankles.the list goes on.  It's all joint related, but the big AHA moment for me was NUTRITION & YOGA! 
Maybe we all could benefit from going back to the ANCIENT PRACTICE OF YOGA, and eating a PLANT BASED DIET and meditating. 



Whether you have weight to lose, hormones to rebalance or inflammation in the joints we could all benefit from the yet simple and effective lifestyle of yoga and plant based healing foods.


 Understanding inflammatory and anti-inflammatory foods is important. Knowing what can be used to help alleviate or aggravate  inflammation in your body might just be the key you have been looking for to boost your next work out and keep your body in tip-top shape and pain free! 

I know how it feels to have inflammation and pain I the body, over the past 5 years I have mastered how to get my own body out of joint pain, muscle tightness and live with increased energy and happy and open  joints, a happy body and calm  centered focused mind, a calm mind a happy body~ a happy life. 

For a health assessment call Me today 
I can help you out of pain, direct you to making important changes to your own body, adding value and longevity to your life. 


What can I do today? 

Today's Tip and change for you! 

My favorite healing food 

What to eat more of!

Broccoli - Broccoli is an excellent source of vitamins C and K, beta-carotene, and calcium, giving this humble vegetable great anti-inflammatory properties.

What not to eat?


I learnt many years ago, over 25 years back  in my body fitness competition days from my coach/mentor that Sugar is simply poison for your body! I did study nutrition during my Personal  Training  Course but not as intensively as I studied the healing foods in relation to inflammatory, brain function and immunity boosting ( preventative health) throughout my fitness comp training days and my Yoga Nutrition Journey loving a raw food life. 

It's the big artificial SUGAR, a complete  NO NO and found on everything packaged! But people don't take this serious enough, and continue to grab it and especially when they are stressed! 


Don't eat it! It's that simple!

 Sugar is not only an addictive substance but is highly inflammatory. This is because sugar raises insulin levels in the body that in turn trigger an immune response.


Lastly another really vital NO NO is WHEAT. The western world is finally steadying to listen to this one. 

Wheat is highly inflammatory and acid forming to certain individuals. Not to mention a major portion of wheat production is genetically modified, so avoiding it where possible is a very positive thing.

I will be back soon with an easy to follow list of healing foods for joint pain and foods you have to avoid of you are experience inflammatory ~ which is most of the population.

YOGA FOR DUDES

YOGA FOR DUDES 



Despite what you may think, yoga isn't just for women. Plenty of major sports teams and athletes work this ancient stretching and strength discipline into their pre- and off-season workouts.

Every week there are more and more of manly men and sports heroes finding their way to the yoga mat. 

Are you a dude looking for a yoga teacher that appeals to you? 
Already, my one on one sessions and classes are vastly growing of MEN – and they’re doing pretty well at it I have to say!




A common mantra I hear from men is ' I feel intimated by the flexible women in the classes!' 

Yes, the obvious is true: most yoga classes are attended by a majority of fit, flexible females in tight clothes -  it’s not just a sport for sexy and flexible ladies. There are bigger reasons reasons why you should be doing it—other than picking up women! 

With yoga, you’ll hone your mental focus, rid your system of toxins.  Great for preventing  injuries.  Improved flexibility is a bonus for just about every sport - after working with me -you will be able to touch your toes, and even improve your performance in the bedroom!

It’s no secret that yoga and meditation have serious benefits for your health, but especially for pro athletes competing a high level, it really pays dividends.

When players have the capacity to align their body and mind, you’re going to get results. 

Meditating is just as important as any field practice or weight lifting session. Maintaining that centered state of mind while in the game and just allowing instincts take over shows us the true measure of greatness.

Not to mention, yoga helps with flexibility, which is useful in preventing injuries. 

Professional Athletes are beginning to understand the real importance of implementing yoga in their workout and pre-season training regimen.
The specific Yogafit postures helps to create flexible ankles and aids in foot pain. Yoga is the perfect exercise for a wide receiver playing at a high and intense level. 
Yes!

 “Yoga  helps you calm down & helps you center your energy so you are balanced instead of going out there & just spreading your energy all over the field!
