Kick Sugar and Free Your Body!

I am relaxing in the Golden Gate Park with hubby Vladi yesterday
And he comments on how super happy I’ve been lately. “What are you doing differently?” he asks.
You see after Kauai I had been feeling a bit lazy, lethargic even.
Then I realized that during the Summer vacations and all I ate a ton of sweets
(Actually I had an affair with Coconut Bliss Vanilla Ice-cream, but don’t tell Vladi)
.
.
Do you feel…
The Sugar blues in the morning, uninspired to get out of bed?
Work seems like a struggle, you can’t wait to veg out in front of the TV every night?
Weight gain, low self-esteem, depression…relationships suffer?

If you think that you have a willpower problem when it comes to sweets.  That’s NOT it!
Sugar cravings are often caused by an imbalance in minerals.  EAT MORE MINERALS, babe!
Anything GREEN! Especially Sea Weed Salads (yah, Sushi lovers!)

The Secret to Kicking the Sugar Habit lies in the Cause
How can you handle your cravings, if you don’t know what’s causing them? (and it’s not just nutrition)
Deprivation is NOT a part of the plan either, that’s just too painful.

That’s exactly what happened to Tammy only after 3 weeks of doing what you’ll learn in the Teleclass

“MY LIFE TRANSFORMED!!! Before I took this class I was eating fast food 4 to 6 times a week and hated the grocery store. I now have worked my way up to 100% raw food. And it’s MORE THAN FOOD – I have cleaned out many areas of my life. And people have said I look AMAZING. And the men (the ones that I want to notice) are noticing. Now I wear more skirts.  I LOVE IT!” ~ Tammy Okada

The BEST Water Filter for Vitality and Sexy Skin

Good water changes EVERYTHING.

All water is not created equal. Most of us understand the importance of clean water. Are you buying bottled water, or drinking from a water filter or water purifier? Did you know that your clean water may not be healthy?

Water’s Amazing Properties
A water molecule is one of the most unique elements on the planet. It has an incredible ability to absorb virtually anything it comes in contact with. Actually, if water was any more absorbing it would be virtually impossible to capture, store, transport and treat.

Water’s amazing ability to absorb applies to elements it contacts physically. This absorptive capability provides all of the healthy natural occurring minerals found in good/clean water sources, but can also lead to the accumulation of dangerous, life-threatening compounds as well. Taking this concept to the next level, world-renowned scientist and researcher Dr. Emoto has uncovered water’s ability to absorb energies and physically change based on its surroundings.
Sources of Contamination
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater, which can be harmful to the organisms and plants that live in these water bodies, as well as the humans that consume or bathe in it.

The primary sources of water pollution are generally grouped into two categories based on their point of origin. Point-source pollution refers to contaminants that enter a waterway through a discrete “point source”. Examples of this category include discharges from a wastewater treatment plant, outfalls from a factory, leaking underground tanks, etc. The second primary category, non-point source pollution, refers to contamination that, as its name suggests, does not originate from a single discrete source. Non-point source pollution is often a cumulative effect of small amounts of contaminants gathered from a large area. Nutrient runoff in storm water from flow over an agricultural field, or metals and hydrocarbons from an area with high impervious surfaces and vehicular traffic are examples of non-point source pollution.

Pathogens can produce waterborne diseases in either human or animal hosts. Eutrophication is the fertilization of surface water by nutrients that were previously scarce. Water pollution is a major problem in the global context. It has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily.

Rain drainage is another major polluting agent because it carries such substances as highway debris (including oil and chemicals from automobile exhausts), sediments from highway and building construction, and acids and radioactive wastes from mining operations into freshwater systems as well as into the ocean. Also transported by rain runoff and by irrigation return-flow are animal wastes from farms and feedlots, a widespread source of pollutants impairing rivers and streams, groundwater, and even some coastal waters. Antibiotics, hormones, and other chemicals used to raise livestock are components of such animal wastes. Pesticide and fertilizer residues from farms also contribute to water pollution via rain drainage.

What Water Filter Should I buy?

I have invested into a water filter that does 3 very specific things:

  1. Purify the water from the environmental toxins
  2. Ionize the water to create more oxygen available for your health
  3. Alkalize the water – key to fighting inflammation in the body

Water Purification – you maybe most familiar with this feature since that’s what most water filters provide (although most water filters on the market only purify some toxins…not all)

Why Ionize? – Ionized water is the product of mild electrolysis which takes place in the ionized water unit. The production of ionized water, its properties, and how it works in the human body are described in the next section. Ionized water is treated tap water that has been filtered and reformed to create reduced water with a large mass of electrons that can be donated to active oxygen in the body to block the oxidation of normal cells. (for cancer prevention, etc)

Why Alkalize? – No disease can survive in an alkaline environment.  You might remember from high school chemistry the Acid-Alkaline spectrum.  The more acidic you are (or the more acidic food you eat like meat, alcohol, coffee, etc), the sicker you become.  Eating raw green leafy vegetables is a great way to alkalize your body.  But it’s not the fastest way.  What do you ingest daily in addition to food??   WATER.  When a high quality water filter also alkalizes your water, you alkalize your whole organism …and SUPER FAST!   You don’t even have to think about it.  Every time you add water to smoothies, soups, desserts, etc – you HEAL YOURSELF.

.

Water is the KEY to Longevity

We highly recommend you invest into a high quality water filter that will last you and your family a lifetime. You want two things from a filter: clean and healthy water. We have found exactly that in a water filter called Athena by IonWays. Buy your own Athena HERE

Yes, Athena ROCKS!  She even talks to you, when you press the “Alkalize” button Athena confirms out loud – “Alkalized water selected”.  Or if you want Acidic water (which is what you want for watering your plants), Athena confirms – “Acidic water selected”.

So needless to say, we LOVE Athena.  And we highly recommend her for your household too!

Cravings & Stress Eating

Olga Aura Health Visionary

Cravings & Stress Eating:

The 2 Keys to Breaking Free

Written by Olga Aura for Coast Views Magazine

The problem with cravings and stress eating is that we are starving. Yes, starving for deep nourishment that food alone can never provide. But we keep eating. Unsupportive relationships – we eat, bank account is unstable- we eat, not doing the work we love – we eat. How can we break free and feel happy in our bodies?

Here is a recent consultation with a student in my 21 Day Cleanse, a petite woman in her early forties who I will call Debbie.

Olga: Recall a most recent craving, what substance did you crave?

Debbie: It was fried chicken with French fries, and a chocolate milkshake.

O: What was the feeling that propelled the craving?

D: I was home alone. And I was feeling anxious and lonely.

O: Where do you feel this anxiety and loneliness in your body?

D: In my solar plexus.

O: Breathe into the solar plexus and ask: “What am I disconnected from and replacing with chocolate milkshake and chicken?”

D: It’s intimacy. I have been avoiding intimacy (sobbing).

O: So what is it that you really want, that which will replace the food?

D: I want connection, trust, and love.

Can you relate to this story? Haven’t you been struggling long enough? You might have been asking for a magic key or a portal to transport you into a new vibrant body, a new life.

Key #1 – The food is the portal.

Like Alice in Wonderland who falls through the Rabbit Hole, you fall deep into the golden core of yourself. As you fall you surrender “The Story” you have written about yourself “I am fat, unlovable, a Virgo, an addict, a wife, a banker, my father left me when I was five.” STORYYYY. What you are breaking free from is the story of shame. Overeating is just a symptom of your insatiable hunger to spread your wings and fly like an eagle.

As you are brushing your feathers, ready to fly, let’s be clear, cravings and stress-eating is not just in your head.

Key #2 – It’s in your gut too.

And it’s called Candida. Many people think they have a willpower problem when it comes to cravings, especially sweets. You do NOT have a willpower problem. You have an overgrowth of yeast bacteria in your colon. These are living microorganisms that eat sugar to reproduce. The more sugar (bread, pasta, alcohol, cookies) you eat, the bigger the colonies of yeast grow, the more sugar they demand to sustain themselves. It’s a vicious cycle. How to break free? Cleanse the yeast and restore the good bacterial in your gut.

The Holiday season is coming. But don’t worry, even if you slip a lot you can still be clean, lean and radiant.

Olga’s Antidote to a Sugar Binge

Better than Soda

1 glass purified water

1 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar

1 pinch Stevia

Mix together and enjoy first thing in the morning. The apple cider vinegar is a natural pro-biotic; it supplies good bacteria for better digestion and weight loss.

Avocado-Kraut-on-the-Go

1 avocado

½ cup raw Sauerkraut

Halve the avocado, take the pit out, and fill the opening from the pit with Sauerkraut. You’ll be delighted with the salty creamy texture. Raw cultured foods convert sugar into useful acids and aid digestion.
