Alzheimer and Dementia – Inflammation, Diet, Auto Immune connections?

Posted on by narellejkelvin

The third video in the series on Auto immune diseases discusses the links to dementia and Alzheimer and other neurological diseases. The link was only up for a limited time so I would consider purchasing the entire set of information if this area is of concern to you or yours.  I am going to. This in helpful formation is in all one place with great explanations.

If you have ever watched a love one suffer with dementia or Alzheimer disease you will find this video probably a little sad that you hadn’t seen something like it before or at least all in one place to be able to really get a fuller understanding of it.

The more I explore inflammation and the issues that ensue, it is very challenging and makes you sit up and look at what we eat, what we allow in our home e.g. cooking, cleaning, make up even, not to mention  EMR!

If you were like me EMR meant nothing! It is basically the micro waves that surround us everywhere and with all the wireless devices that are used within the home situation as well as work places, it is little wonder we are tired and struggling with energy loss.

I also loved the explanation of hydration within our systems. I love water, so it is not a big issue for me but I know many who barely drink enough to pee and poop let alone hydrate the rest of their systems.

Fasting is also a healthy practice. So that is a nice prompt to get back in to the practice. I have always found it to be a spiritual and physical practice. It has always been an important aspect of healing for me at various times in my life. I will follow this up later with a blog as I really believe in this.

So these videos are really another important message for health and wellbeing. Check it out. 

 

Until next time

Blessings Narelle.

Staying the Healthy Course

Posted on by narellejkelvin

IMG_24332014 was a massive year for myself and my family. It was the year of transformation for me from unhealthy to healthy: from overweight to slimmer; from near death to alive; from mind numbing work to fulfillment. So many changes, challenges, and victories! I saw these not only in myself but in my family as well.

In terms of weight loss I was able to shed nearly 40 lbs or 20 kilos. The change was so dramatic to my body, on a trip home after a few weeks away, in the dead of night Paul could not work out who was sleeping with him and freaked out!

Fast forward 4 years and many overseas trips and challenging dietary situations and I have still managed to maintain the weight loss give or take a few kilos. It has not been easy!

Less and More

One of the mind changes I had in 2014 was that this was no diet experience. This was a life-style change. From now on my life had to consist of less– less stress, less of amounts of food, less of fats and sugars,  and less of those foods that cause me pain – night shade plants. It also consisted of more – More regular exercise, more regular sleep, more regular examination of where I am at with calories and step counters, more fun paths, more laughter, more peace and joy, more of those things that bring me joy.

When we focus on the less so much we can gain a mindset of lack rather than abundance. We feel deprived and that in turn will cause us to falter and feel somehow we are missing out. With that sense of deprivation it may not be long before we find ourselves breaking out!

I also don’t beat myself up. If I find I have had more rather than less of or less rather than more, I get up and start again. I love that His mercies are new every morning! Every day when the sun comes up I have a clean slate to start again regardless of the day before.

Today is a new day and I will rejoice and be glad in it.

Stay the course. Keep going. You are unstoppable if you don’t stop!

Until next time
