Updates and Progress

Hi guys!
Sorry it's been so long since I have posted anything, but everyday I would get home from school, lessons, church, what have you and be too exhausted to type up anything. So I apologize for the lateness of this post.

I know I told you that I have Candida. Well over the past few weeks I have been researching this infection and quite honestly, this plays a HUGE role in everyone's diet. Seriously, EVERYONE. This new information on Candida disturbed so much that I have decided not to go into Pediatrics but Nutrition. Children don't need medicine, they need healthy lifestyles.

Before you think I'm just talking off my head, let me tell you this. Since I was an infant, I have been lactose intolerant and I have always struggled with food allergies. This past February it seemed like everything that passed my lips was an allergenic. I had become so toxic that my stomach was distended and I looked like I was pregnant. I had no drive when it came to energy or anything and my skin had formed these bumps that just wouldn't go away. I experienced dizzy spells and frequent colds. I had horrible hormonal health and I was a very, very weak person. I didn't realize how bad off I was because I had been sick for so long. The worst of it was my ovarian cysts that threatened my likelihood of having children and not being in pain all the time. Well, since I have been on the Candida Diet, I have experienced a 180. Honestly it is truly amazing.

So, I highly recommend you click the link below to test if you have Candida. Get your kids on it too. Your kids NEED to be healthy DESPERATELY!!! If you have ANY questions about Candida, just leave me a comment or send me an email at harpsofpraise@gmail.com or acceptinghislove@gmail.com

Please give your body a chance to kill this overriding fungus and just take the test. If you do have it, please let me know so I can help you get started on the road to better health.

Big Mistake # 4

Next big thing that many, many, many people screw up their healthy living on is this one thing: Overeating. The past week, I've have been feeling great! But yesterday, I ate a little more broccoli than I should of, and boom, woke up the next morning with  my cysts saying "you idiot!". I was eating broccoli! Healthy right? It's not about the quantity, but the quality and if we start blurring those lines, we are dead meat. Seriously, we mistake healthy eating with just eating vegetables and eating stuff that usually doesn't taste good. But no, we can eat as healthy as we want and if we're overeating, then we got nothing to show for. Your body needs to be able to digest food slowly and easily. Smaller portions and not going for seconds will help you keep your digestive system tip top shape. If you get hungry faster, just eat a little something every three hours. But please, please, don't overeat. It will leave you in a constant cycle of craving. Ugh. Worst thing ever is to crave. O.o hope this helps and I will post more hopefully tomorrow.
Have a Happy Rest!
God Bless! :)

Happy Tummies!

Okay guys, I was told to be up by 6:00 A.M. today... Being on a vegetable/protein strict diet, I had to prepare. I opened the fridge, saw a case of zucchini and then grabbed a bag of frozen broccoli.
I sliced up the zucchini and put it in a ziploc bag and shook it up with salt, olive oil, and garlic (and oregano?). I dumped it on my cookie sheet, spread them out and placed them in the oven at 350 for 15 minutes while I boiled my broccoli and ate my yogurt with my probiotic medicine. Unfortunately, I found my new crack: Zucchini.:( haha
But for lunch, Keenan (my Boi) and I chopped up orange bell peppers, a stalk of celery, garlic, onion, potatoes, zucchini, and chives and placed it on a sheet of foil. I sprinkled about 2 tablespoon of olive oil on the mix and sprinkled salt everywhere.. You can add as much oil or butter (which I added later on) to the mix. I wrapped it up in the foil and placed it in the oven at 350 for about 40 minutes. It was delicious.:) I got this recipe from my mom. Worry free, easy, and healthy! :)

I will post more on the ideals and big mistakes of dieting later, but I have had a long day and must bid you all goodnight.

Get some healthy sleep tonight by turning off the electronics and not eating that snack before bed. Drink some chamomile tea or read. :)

Have a healthy and happy rest!

God Bless!

Big Mistake # 3

Everyone seems to think that one certain diet or pill or exercising regime to fix you. NO. thinking like that will bring disappointment. That and comparing yourself to anyone else or doing things that "Victoria secret model's" do.  Be happy with your body and find out what it can take and what it can't. Process illumination is the main idea in this stage of changing your eating habits. Anything is a possible inhibitor, so study carefully. But it is  my firm belief that every person alive should avoid (1) processed food, (2) sugar, (3) OVEREATING. Do not let food become a fixation. I can not stress that enough. It really messes with your head and you THINK you're deprived and hungry all the time but you're not, just stick with it.

Most people think of quitting eating healthy within the first few days of it, but just hang in there for a few weeks, you WILL see the difference. I already feel TONS better.:)

So remember, there is no magic pill or diet, it's just committing to fill your body with what it needs. Like my Health and Wellness Professor, James Paul always said, "Quality of life, not the quantity."

Oh and food for, well, your happy tummy:

Ingredients:

Wild caught, Fresh Water Basa (seriously best fish I ever put in my mouth)
3 teaspoons Coconut Oil or Olive Oil
2 teaspoons Fresh Minced Garlic
2 teaspoons Oregano
Salt to taste
cup of boiled water

Heat skillet to lowish heat putting a teaspoon of oil in it. Take your garlic, oregano, and left over oil and rub it on the top of the Basa. Place in skillet and cook for about 15 mins. If, after five to ten minutes, the fish isn't turning from pink to white, pour some of the water in the skillet and cover the skillet. Repeat if necessary.

Enjoy with a vegetable bake (which is something I will show you later.)

Have a Happy Friday and Tummies! :)

God Bless!
