It’s After Thanksgiving! Give Yourself a Break. We Know You Tried

It is the Monday after Thanksgiving and we are wondering if any of you still feel like that overstuffed turkey you ate last Thursday?  Here are a few suggestions that will work to bring lightness back to your body.

1. Drink the wise water.  We gave you the recipe for this in a blog a few weeks ago.  This water will work to purify your body and the purification will help you feel lighter. See the Wise Water Recipe here: https://healingdepression.wordpress.com/2010/11/08/depression-affects-our-immunity/
2. Begin and end your day with lemon water.  The properties of lemon alkalinize your body.  All that heavy and starchy food you ate over the holiday can make your body acidic.  If your physiology moves into an acidic state inflammations can begin a siege.  Inflammation is a signal that the immune system is at war with an invader.  Lemon water will tone down the acid in the body and help the immune system fight off troublesome invaders.
3. Healing Depression the Mind-Body Way will help you to discern your doshic type.  Focus on eating to correct your imbalances and to remove ama (Sanskrit word for toxins) from your physiology.

It’ll all be OK.  Drink wise water.  Begin and end the day with lemon water.  Read about nutrition and learn more helpful hints.  And don’t bother to resolve that next year will be different.  We know that Thanksgiving is a day to feast.  But correcting the overload sooner rather than later will help to prevent any problems.  Remember the roots of depression are often found in the body and one of the most important ingredients for preventing depression and achieving happiness is found in the morsel on the end of your fork.

 

 

Have a great week!
