With continuous stress our minds and bodies respond with anxiety, excessive worry, fatigue, brain fog and issues with your sleep. Stress is a form of toxicity that we often self-medicate with comfort foods such as chips, cookies, cakes, candy, ice cream, and alcohol, leading to an even more toxic internal environment.
Not only can food be medicine, but also a source of happiness. I want to share with you 5 foods that are staples for my detox and destress FREEALITEA.
Aging beautifully involves consistent destressing (frown and worry lines aren't cute at all) and detoxing. Some signs to indicate that it is time to cleanse and reNEW your body and mind:
Constipation
Headaches
Fatigue
Sluggish Feeling
We can destress and detox with these 5 common herbs that can help us with our stress-FREE cleansing journey. Dandelion root has a mild laxative effect
All parts of the dandelion can be used including the flower, stems, leaves, and root. That has medicinal benefits. You can cook the leaves up like you would collard greens. I was told stories that my Paw Paw used to make dandelion wine. The root can be used as well in teas and tonics like in Release Rise & Shine Tea.
With the frenzy to prevent being infected with the coronavirus, supplies are running low or out of stock Homemade items are usually better than store-bought items because you put your love, care and special touch on it. This hand sanitizer recipe contains lemon and tea tree (melaleuca) essential oils and a bit of coconut oil. At this time, stay vigilant in keeping yourself healthy by cleaning and cleansing both externally and internally. And CALM DOWN!!! Do not allow yourself to get caught up in the hysteria and stress you out. We are exposed to more viruses and bacteriae than coronavirus on a daily basis and our immune system protect us.
