Foods, herbs and routines that help in day to day survival.

Hi Guys

I've been reading some really helpful things in some of these forums and thought I'd share some of mine back to you and hopefully learn more.

I know that when I get up in the morning, the first three steps are what make or break my day. I need to wake up, wander out to my little veranda and sit with a coffee in silence for a few minuets and stare at the trees then hit my laptop for an hour or so, then feast. I make sure I eat a meal of a god (or try to) before I leave home or do anything strenuous. It needs protein and a good dense bread and normally spinach. I believe FOOD IS MEDICINE and live by and learn with that.

After that I make a small pot of scull cap herbal tea to nurture my nervous system and get it all relaxed and strong for the day ahead. I feel grounded when I do this and am confident that my body has all it needs to handle a case of over stimulation.

I am a magnesium fan also, its a muscle relaxant to ease stress of shopping centers or alot of people in my face. I take a multi vitamin with loads of C and B's to help rebuild my cells and then snack on protein throughout the day. If I'm with friends, at work or with people for a long time, I'll need to take breaks. Time outs for myself to just ground and calm and breathe.

I eliminate as much additives, artificial sweeteners and processed foods as I can.

Does anyone else have anything that helps them?

Cheers, love and light

I went on 5 day all fresh juice fast and I've never felt so clear and calm. It was totally amazing! At the end of my fast, I was actually worried that going back to solid food would depress me, but since then I eat as many raw fruits and vegetables as I can, with fresh raw juice as a supplement, and that is still pretty good, but not as awesome as the fast.

I also try to avoid refined carbs and preservatives. They give me heartburn and make it harder to think somehow. I also own a vitamix and my favorite recipe is 3 apples, 3 peeled oranges and 4 handfuls of baby spinach. It's green, thick, and smooth, and has a nice citrus/sweet taste, makes a great breakfast!
