2) Let go of processed foods.
ANYTHING WITH WORDS YOU CAN NOT PRONOUNCE will only cause harm as they slowly process through your body!! The harmful chemicals and unnatural substances overwhelm and burden the functioning of the Liver & Kidneys. When working with clients, we don't have to look far to find the imbalances in their mind and body once we understand everything they consume. MOST EVERYTHING IN A BOX has a high level of preservatives. Is it your wish to chemically preserve yourself while you are living and enjoying life?
If food doesn't build you up it will break you down! Most people do not realize how the food, beverage and prescriptions they consume affect their mood, health, mind, and vitality. Many times making them stiff, weak, tired, anxious, angered, afraid, depressed or just disconnected from living! The solution is to consume organically grown products! Check out your local farmers markets and health food stores for what I call "REAL" food! Even better, start your own community garden!
3) Let go of sugar and high glycemic foods and treats.
They are directly contributing to the obesity and diabetic epidemic. We are not purist but we are conscious to what we choose to put in our bodies.
It is possible to modify and correct cravings and behaviors. From a Chinese Medicine perspective sugars are burning out your spleen and harming your pancreas, all the while decreasing your immune system and harming your kidneys! Sugar ultimately weakens your body, muscles, and mind. It literally throws your hormone function under the bus and damages your kidney adrenals. It also depletes your stores of vitamins and minerals from your bones, organs, and tissues. There are healthy alternatives offered now. The best being BSweet from Boresha. It's the first all organic, low-Glycemic, Diabetic & Kidney friendly sweetener, that looks and taste like sugar without all the negative effects!
3A) Switch to Organics
Avoid hormones, pesticides, herbicides, and neurotoxins. PRESERVE YOUR INHERANT DNA!! Let your cells reproduce in their natural way! The elements listed above also contribute to the obesity and health (cancer, diabetes, MS, etc) epidemic that plagues this country. The unnatural hormones, pesticides and herbicides used in the majority of conventional produce & animal products during their growth cycle are 100% toxic to the human body. As a defense mechanism, the body will engulf these toxic elements as mucus and store them as adipose tissue.
Consider this please - You can either pay a little bit more now for organic products and animal products, or pay thousands later on prescription meds, hospital bills & doctors visits, just to maintain a sub-standard quality of life. Ultimately, it's an individual choice. There is a difference in taste, vitality, and health in organic versus conventional. Do an experiment for one week and YOU be the judge! Whenever possible, consume organic meats, veggies, and fruits for the highest vitality, and comfort in your body.
4) Wash your Produce!
Citrus veg and fruit wash removes 97% of herbacides and pesticides, saves your liver, kidneys and brain! If the toxins don't enter the body, they don't have to be removed! Toxins can not
be removed by water alone. You need some type of acid wash to get rid of that "waxy", chalky, or thin chemical layer on produce- not to mention the hundreds of hands that have touched your veggies & fruit!
It's that which is undetectable that causes the most harm. The things that slip in the back door, so to speak. Wash your produce for a higher quality of life Thank you for letting us, at the Sagely Willow, help you achieve a Pain-Free Body!
5) Enjoy time to chew! Your mom was right.
3 Reasons to chew:
- Get the most out of your food. If you do not break it down, it can't fuel or work for you. During the time you are chewing many things are naturally occurring. The most basic is mixing digestive enzymes with the food so your body has an opportunity to break it down. Through this chewing process, the body is able to distribute the positive byproduct called energy to the cells, muscles, and organs.
- Stress inhibits metabolization. If you're stressed you're in fight or flight!! Think of the Caveman running from the Dinosaur. When we are stressed cortisol (hormone) is released into the body, stressing the adrenals and the body systems. When we are stress-eating, high levels of cortisol are attached to the food and are taken thru the digestion process. They are then metabolized over a 4-6 hr period. Therefore, repeating the initial stress-trigger throughout the body, long after the incident occurred. If your rushed or nervous and INHALE your meal, your body can't digest and distribute food properly! If your stomach is rushed or nervous it can't break down, digest or distribute energy!
- Enjoying a meal is an opportunity to travel inward! Relish a Zenful moment and give appreciation for the sustenance to sustain your life.

6) Drink the purest water possible!
Flush those hard working stressed organs!! Several clients are increasing their experience of health just by using an in-home water filtration system. Another solution is to switch to 5 gallon GLASS bottles, that can be delivered to your home or office. E-mail us to receive the names and numbers of these vendor's in your area. Chemicals or plastic? Common purification chemicals in tap water are toxic for the body.
What to choose? They are both very harmful to the optimal functioning of the human body. For the best result of health possible, no plastic or chemicals is best. Water is one major key to flushing toxins out of the body. Tap water has many harmful chemicals in it, that cause great challenges for the body, once metabolized. AGAIN, IF WE DON'T PUT THE TOXINS IN, WE WON'T HAVE TO EXPERIENCE CHALLENGES, AND TAKE THEM OUT!!
7) 30 minutes of body movement a day, is key!
If the universe stopped moving and circulating, do you think life could perpetuate?? One must move the body daily so all organs and systems can function normally and optimally.

7A) :-) 30 minutes of you time:
Life happens better tomorrow if you reflect today! The body will repair itself if given the space and time!
Do you feel overwhelmed, on your email account, if you do not delete, or file your old e-mail messages?? We all know how easy it is not to do this, and before we know it there are hundreds to thousands of them building up in the box. YOUR BRAIN IS THE SAME!!! If it is not emptied of old thoughts and situations they build up and overwhelm us consciously via stress and sub-consciously via illness. One must make the quiet time in their life and day, in order for this cleaning up process to occur naturally.
This filtering process works best in a situation that is relaxing without engaging the mind, feelings, or emotions.Hence the power of meditation and relaxation. One can reach a meditation state walking in peaceful environment, sitting in the same environment, meditating traditional style, listening to high vibration music, using a Chi Machine, etc.
HEAL YOUR MIND, HEAL YOUR LIFE! Thank you got being on the journey with us.
