Earlier this year, I spent 5 incredible days at Sanoviv Medical Institute for their Health and Nutrition Advisor Program. Sanoviv is a state-of-the-art healing centre, hospital and research centre.
Not only did we learn about healing and detoxifying the body, we got to experience several mind and body detoxification treatments and practices. Here are 3 recommended health habits that are surprisingly easy to incorporate daily for better health and energy:
Switch to a fluoride free toothpaste
Fluoride is toxic. All toothpastes that contains it has a poison control warning. It interferes with ATP responses at the cellular level and is poisonous to your body. You can read more about this in the book The Healthy Home http://www.thehealthyhomebook.com/ The most common sources of fluoride in your home are toothpaste or fluoridated water, but it’s also in Teflon coating and other household items.
Start using a tongue scrapper twice daily
The tongue is one of the escape routes for toxins trying to leave your body. These toxins cause mucous and bacteria to build up at the back of the tongue. Scraping the tongue daily removes this bacteria, promotes healthy gums and teeth, and reduces bad breath. Tongue scraping can improve halitosis up to 90%. What an inexpensive and effortless way to support your health!
Breathe deeply and often
Deep diaphragmatic breathing techniques have been shown to be extremely effective in managing chronic stress, depression, and anxiety. By invoking the body’s relaxation response it supports healing and calms the nervous system by bringing our stress hormones back into normal balance. If that’s not enough incentive to breathe deeply and often, you should know that it’s also great for weight management. Try 20 deep belly breaths in the morning before you get up and again mid afternoon. It’s FREE!
