Living The Holistic Lifestyle Pt 2

Part Two

There are so many ways to become a person who embraces the holistic lifestyle. It is important to protect yourself as much as possible from impulses that are negative electromagnetic and try your best to avoid breathing air that is recirculated as many newer office buildings do not allow people to open the windows and have nothing but unhealthy recycled air.

This has been known to be serious and in extreme cases can lead to Legionnaires Disease. Eat as much fresh, chemical free food as possible and food that is free of pesticides. Organic food is the best choice so you should shop at farmer's markets whenever you can.

Consume butter sparingly. In fact eat butter and margarine as seldom as possible. Instead reach for unheated extra virgin olive oil as liberally as possible. When you choose fruit and vegetables that are both local and in-season attempt to buy them as close to the day that they were first picked as possible. Never buy anything that has been in the market for a number of days.

Buy the majority of your groceries not at the local grocery store but at a farmer's market and the health food store. Avoid junk food, fast food, fried and fatty food at all costs and do not drink sugary drinks loaded with chemicals, artificial sweeteners and sugar such as soda pop. A

void chemical preservatives wherever possible such as mono sodium glutamate (Otherwise known as MSG), nitrates (which are commonly found in such products as bacon) and any animals that were fed antibiotics or hormones of any kind. Do not consume a great deal of liquids when you eat meals and in particular this means ice in drinks, other cold drinks and alcoholic beverages.

Try your best to avoid drinking from Styrofoam cups, as Styrofoam is very bad for the environment and avoid eating off of plastic plates and using plastic utensils. Do not consume foods that have been prepared with hydrogenated oil, examples being margarine and any other type of butter or margarine substitute.   

 

Now For Some Holistic Tips Natural Relief The holistic approach to health and to pain relief is different from traditional Western medicine in that it takes into consideration an entire human being, looking at the mind, body and spirit as a unit and does not just look at individual symptoms in isolation. Therapists who practice the holistic approach believe that the human body contains a very strong life force, life energy or vital force. It is believed that it is this vital force or energy that helps to guard the body against any number of ailments and diseases and helps to encourage healing when something in the body does break down. This is what we know to be called the body's immune system and without it a person would be sick all the time, as he would succumb to every kind of virus or bacteria that crossed his path. It is believed by holistic therapists that when the immune system is out of synchronicity and the balance is upset that the symptoms of any number of diseases crop up. Herbs For Pain Relief

Avoid any of the artificial sugar substitutes such as aspartame, which is actually more harmful to the body than sugar, and eat as small a quantity as possible of white sugar that is processed. Never consume unbleached white flour or fruits and vegetables that are not ripe or have been waxed. As well avoid all irradiated vegetables as well as spices.

Choose natural fibers for clothing such as cotton, linen, silk and wool as opposed to synthetic fibers such as acetate, nylon, polyester, spandex etc. Do not use any kind of bug repellant or any type of fluid or lotion on your skin to keep bugs away from you. Avoid these items both on your person as well as in your home.
