Read about The Organic Life Read about Fibroid Journey Read My Alkaline Water Experience

(1) Water

I now understand the phrase, "You are what you eat" but I truly understand  you are what you drink too.


I was introduced to alkaline water in 2017.  I have been drinking alkaline water for more than five years. My Ear Nose Throat and masseur/masseuse gave this decision a thumbs up! I experience more energy after drinking alkaline water.  I have consumed the bottled water brand Essentia but after I purchased my own water machine it was a better investment.


I purchased an water machine and it was a easy assembly. The machine is hooked up to kitchen faucet, turn the selector to the "Ion" turn machine on select one of the many selections: 9.5 ph, 7.5ph, clean water/baby use, toner, acidic (for cleaning fruits and sanitizing). Turn on the kitchen faucet and water will ionize and come out the machine's tube for drinking or filling up a bottle.

Alkaline water is...

Alkaline water is water that is less acidic than regular tap water. Alkaline water can neutralize the acid in your bloodstream and help your body metabolize nutrients more effectively, leading to better health and performance.


ā€‹9.5 ph-the highest ph level of alkaline


7 ph- Pure clean water


ā€‹11.5 - Strong Acidic (to clean vegetables, fruits and household cleaning)


2021 The free feeling in the gut day to day is truly awesome. This organic only-no soy- gluten free life was not by choice; it is necessary for my body function. I was aware that processed food, fast food, milk, sugar, are not good for the body, but it tasted good to the tongue and fed the cravings oh so accurately! Oh speaking of organic. I also wear this natural deodorant, and I switch it up with this deodorant too.

On my face: I mix coconut oil and juice from the freshly squeezed lemon. I absolutely love : Sky Organics' : Organic Shea Butter. By the way avoid Red 3, 40, and all color dyes which is listed in ingredients.


Click here to view listed of foods, teas and supplements I eat.

For now, I am a fan of the “So-Delicious” brand, Irish butter, grass fed meat, Sour sop leaf, Turkey Tail and due to having fibroids I avoid soy, milk, tofu, RBST, chicken, sugary snacks, processed foods, no fast foods, and everything else must be organic along with gluten-free. I have a allergy to vinegar, therefore what I eat is limited.

 **Eating greens, sweet potatoes, sour sop leaf, black rose tea  avocados, and smoothies that I have added herbs to, have made a significant impact in my abdominal.

For seasonal allergies flare ups

I drink a blueberry smoothy, or green tea, or Pau'D arco/Detox tea.  At times I have some ashwagandha, freshly cooked elderberry tea, raw manuka honey in with my alkaline water 9.5ph.

Where I do have a few health and tea tips. Over the years, while shopping, in the community etc. I have been asked what supplements are you taking, what teas are you drinking that have helped you? I got tired of looking for something to write on, so I put it all on a website and created business cards with just the QR code to the website. This helped as long as I re-ordered business cards ha! So here I am writing a blog about my journey and included a list below.

The Fibroid talk

Fibroids

Women around the world either have issue with Fibroids and some do not. I did not have any problems until my mid -30s.


Summer of 2020:  The doctor stated the main reason for my pain was multiple fibroids. Exceptionally large fibroid caused my uterus to be enlarged. Causing continuous nausea, pain to walk, sit, bend over, significant pain when climb numerous stairs. Every day was flustering.


March 2022:  The ER OB/GYN informed me my fibroids are/have degenerated. (Read more about Fibroid degeneration


My understanding for me that the fibroid gets so big, and it can only sustain its blood flow for so long and so it outgrew its blood supply. It shrinks/dies off and it is a very painful process. Fibroids can grow back since it is hormone sensitive. One of my fibroids "was” 9 centimeter and that is as big as a newborn head. 


What foods did I avoid?

Foods that feed fibroids. So, I wanted to starve my fibroids, make them shrink and give my body freedom again.


Foods that make fibroids grow: 

1.) Dairy products/RBST (2) Soy /Tofu (3) Processed Foods/fast food (4) Fast Food (5) Non wheat foods (6) Starches (7) Sugar  

**Cooked my food in copper and ceramic pots/pans.


What foods do I eat?


The key is to have an Alkaline diet every day!

 Due to having fibroids I avoid soy, milk, tofu, chicken, sugary snacks, processed foods, no fast foods, and everything else must be organic along with gluten-free. I do however, do not eat corn, nor use vegetable oil, canola oil.

(1) Coconut Milk (optional)  (2) Red Delicious Apples or Honeycrisp Apples (3) Banana's (4) Elderberry Juice or Cooked Elderberries (5) Turmeric  (6) Cinnamon (7) Other fruits : Kiwi, Blueberries, Strawberries, etc. (8)Herb supplements (Spirulina, Moringa, Sea Moss, Sour Sop Leaf, Buckthorn, Ashwagandha,
