                             The Brain: Headaches,
                            poor memory, dizziness, lack of focus.

                            of breath, high blood pressure, chest pains,
                            fluid retention, low energy, irregular
                            heartbeats etc, all of which can lead to
                            heart failure and heart attack. 
                            
                            
                         
                         The
                              Lungs: Breathlessness, fluid
                            retention, congestion, possible collapse. 
                            
                              The Limbs: Cold feet and hands,
                            numbness, tingling, muscle cramps, varicose
                            veins, fluid retention, pain, discoloration
                            of fingers and toes. 
                            
                            
                         
                         
                          The
                                Liver: Appetite loss, skin tone
                              discoloration, itchy skin. 
                               
                               The Kidneys: Swelling in
                              the limbs, irregular heart beat, fatigue,
                              higher blood pressure. 
                           
                          
                         
                       
                    
                  
                  
                    
                      
                         
                          
                          A sedentary
                                lifestyle,  
                               a recipe for poor
                                  health. 
                              
                         
                         Diet: 
                           A person with good
                            circulation maintains a healthy body with
                            daily exercise and a healthy diet, but far
                            too many people lead sedentary lifestyles
                            and eat diets that are primarily acidic.  
                            
                           Lack of physical movement
                            means the Lymphatic System doesn't get to
                            work which means the body then stews in its
                            own toxins. 
                             
                             
                           Blood pressure
                                explained: 
                           The more fat content in your
                            blood, the slower your blood circulation and
                            harder your blood vessels become. The
                            aperture of blood vessels enlarges and your
                            body becomes weak. This is known as low
                              blood pressure.  
                            
                       
                        
                      
                         
                           With more fat and thrombus in
                            the blood vessels, the blood circulation
                            becomes even slower, and impurities in your
                            blood clog up. One of these is cholesterol.
                           
                            
                           As deposits increase, the
                            blood vessel aperture becomes restricted and
                            the force required for the blood flow is
                            greater. This is known as high
                              blood pressure. 
                               
                               
                             Culprits of poor
                              circulation: 
                           High salt intake, acidic diet
                            and inactivity (which create diabetes,
                            weight gain, obesity, heart disease and
                            heart failure, fluid retention etc),
                            anxiety, stress, smoking, and even flying
                            (take frequent walks up and down the plane
                            aisle). 
                            
                           If circulation becomes
                            compromised and does not meet the needs of
                            the heart and lungs, consequences can lead
                            to heart failure and fluid retention.
                            Prevention and recovery cannot occur soundly
                            without focused lifestyle changes. 
                             
                             
                            
                        Lifestyle. 
                         
                        
                         
                          
                          Enjoying
                              life, staying fit. 
                          
                          
                         
                        1)
                              Move your body daily. 
                             Take a walk, bike, swim,
                            jog, rebound (trampoline), try water
                            aerobics (which has low impact), use the Chi
                            Machine - get your circulation moving for
                            increased oxygen and elimination of toxins
                            via stimulation of the critically important
                            lymphatic system.
                            
                         
                          
                        
                          
                          
                          Acid
                              food causes disease.  
                              Choose alkaline food.
                          
                         
                        2)
                            Focus on an Alkaline
                                Diet. If cells becomes overly
                            acidic (foods high in sugar and red meat),
                            body systems will begin to malfunction and
                            healthy alkaline cells become deprived of
                            oxygen, which in turn promotes disease, and
                            cancer. 
                             
                           
                         
                        Time and time
                            again, exercise (movement of the body), and
                            a healthy diet, prove to be critical factors
                            in keeping the human body fit and healthy.  
                             
                            Sedentary lifestyles and acid diets lead to
                            serious consequences. Is the resulting
                            expense and pain worth it? 
                             
                          
                          
                         
                        
                        
                         
                        
                          Challenges
                                  and limitations: 
                           
                            
                              - You hate exercise.  
                             - The weather is either too
                              hot or too cold.  
                             - You don't own a bicycle,
                              and you don't have a swimming pool.  
                             - Age, illness or physical
                              challenges limit your mobility.  
                             - You refuse to work-out,
                              do yoga, or dance around your living room
                              to videos on YouTube.  
                             - You have no time ... 
                              
                             In reality there are no
                              excuses except for the ones you create.
                              There is always a way. If you had a gun to
                              your head, you would rapidly see the
                              options that exist, options that have been
                              here all the time, but you've had no
                              desire to acknowledge them.  
                              
                              
                             2020-2021
                              were not conducive to regular outdoor
                              exercise - because of lockdowns and
                              restrictions - and many of us discovered
                              just how very important it is to stay
                              healthy, both physically and mentally!  
                              
                             Sitting indoors promotes
                              both mental and physical illness.  
                               
                              The human body NEEDS physical activity and
                              sunshine (Far Infrared and Vitamin D), in
                              order to survive and thrive. So make time,
                              get outdoors as often as possible, enjoy
                              life and be healthy.
