VIVA Forever Young

Salut

It seems I’ve waited so long for February.  Now it’s come and nearly gone, and suddenly I’m a year older.  But
guess what?  I don’t feel it.  I’m feeling younger by the day.  Why?  

‘Joie de Vivre’, a zest for life; ageless.

These days I’m reasonably fit and healthy; I generally eat the right foods, I exercise regularly and my body seems
to function quite well.  You too?  Or are you ‘rotting and rusting’ this wet season like a half eaten apple turning
brown or like the pushbike left outside unprotected from the moist air and rain?

Did you know “the average person is ’spoiled rotten’ – rotting” and rusting “from the inside out, with a
dysfunctional intestinal tract that is a breeding ground for disease. 

Each of us is at war and we don’t even know it! 

The private war we wage each day is the daily assault on our body by bacteria, virus, fungus, yeasts and
molds.  This is an onslaught of killer bugs which become stronger and stronger day by day.  Our immune systems are becoming over-taxed in this war… even antibiotics are becoming less effective against resistant new strains being created daily as bacteria mutates.” (Information from Envirohealthtech). 

“Germs are the cause of disease.  The germ is nothing, the inner terrain is everything.” Dr Louis Pasteur.

Why is this happening and what does it mean? 

It’s largely about what we eat!  Now have you heard of the acid/alkaline balance?

Or should I say the pH imbalance? 

pH is the measure of acidity or alkalinity.  It is measured on a scale of 0-14; the lower the pH, the more acidic and the higher the pH, the more alkaline.  pH7 is neutral. 

Our body continually attempts to balance our body fluids (blood) and tissues.  It is said the healthy body pH range
is 6.0 to 7.5 with the optimum being slightly alkaline at about 7.3 or 7.4.

So “simply put, an imbalance of alkalinity creates a condition favourable to the growth of bacteria, yeast or other unwanted organisms.  The maintenance of an alkaline pH in our tissues and cells is critical to our health.”  (Information from Envirohealthtech). 

Many people have an acid body and are unaware of it. 

What about you?

Excessive acidity is known as acidosis which causes many problems, illness and diseases.

• Corrosion, like rusting of arteries, veins and heart tissues meaning the cardiovascular systems is weakened.
• It disrupts blood pressure.
• It inhibits metabolism causing weight gain, obesity and diabeties.
• It causes premature aging, like rotting the cell walls thus creating wrinkles, age spots etc.
• And there’s so much more.

You can self test your pH levels by ‘peeing’ on pH test strips purchased from the chemist.  So how can you help
yourself if your body is acidic?

You need to eat more alkaline producing foods.  Most vegies and fruits (lemon and tomatoes), most nuts (almonds),
seeds and apple cider vinegar are alkaline producing however meat, seafood, poultry, dairy, most grains, fast
foods, refined sugar, and alcohol are acid producing, as are antibiotics. 

Unfortunately, Australians are following the Americanized society which is big on meats and fast foods so it’s no
wonder a vast majority of people are effected by disease.  So take a good hard long look at your diet and you may
be able to reach some simple conclusions and truly realize that your good health often stems back to your diet of
good natural wholesome foods, exercise and a destressed environment.

In fact, if you need to restore your pH balance over time, it is said that your diet should consist of 80% alkaline
forming foods and 20% acid forming foods, or to maintain health your diet should be 60/40 alkaline to acid forming
foods, so that in time you too may be on the way to enjoying good health, exercise, Joie de Vivre and be ageless.

However do realize Joie de Vivre and seemingly agelessness is more than just good health.  It’s finding joy in the
simple things in life, it’s happiness, it’s contentedness, calmness and more; it’s a glow from the inside out.

So what else do I do to help achieve this state.  I Arbonne!  I ‘Arbonnize’ my skin day in, day out with what I feel my skin needs.  Whether it’s a detox or a peel, or just some good old fashioned moisturizing routines.
