Aging doesn’t have to be painful and ugly.  With good self care you can help maintain your energy, skin, libido, and health.  Help your body by eating well.  An improper diet creates candida overgrowth which saps your energy and stresses your adrenals.  High acidic levels create joint problems.  Joint replacement is big business these days.  It’s great that they can replace them, but why not save yourself the pain by taking some precautions.  I’ve listed three food based items that are easy to add to your diet.  Sunfood is offering them this weekend buy one, get one free. That’s hard to pass up.  Here’s what to look for:

Maca: This is raw, Peruvian maca.  Maca is nature’s Viagra.  It is beneficial for men and women.  Maca is reported to support and balance the endocrine system, endurance and mental focus.    It is also beneficial for depression and addiction.

MSM:  This is sulfur which is one of the essential minerals that is difficult to get with our modern diet.  It is important for healthy cells.  Especially the joints.

Pau D’Arco Tea:  This is a light, pleasant tasting tea that is particularly beneficial for eliminating candida, relieving constipation and building red blood cells.  Even if you don’t feel you have any of these issues you will enjoy the flavor and support your body in staying healthy.

I use each of these products on a regular basis.  You can find more information by clicking on the link below or to order.  This is a great time stock up.  I am. Sunfood offers many great products. Check them out.

I’m having my morning tea and working the sleep out of my body and mind.  I love a leisurely morning when possible to have my tea, do some exercise and journal.  I feel more prepared mentally and physically.

One of my favorite teas is Tulsi or also known as Holy Basil.  I found it a few years ago and it just seems to be getting breaking into a larger market now.  It’s from India and has been used in Ayurvedic medicine.  It is said to help lower levels of the stress hormone cortisol and help you stabilize mood swings.

I can tell you it tastes great and I do find it helpful.  I find it relaxing, but not in the sleepy kinda of way.  More calming.  My sweetener of choice is Stevia.

Have a great day!
