Hello, everyone. Welcome Vanda Maria of Raw And Well.

Today I am here to answer a question. And the question is, I have a food sensitivity. Can I still detox? So let’s address that. And let’s start. Why do we have this food sensitivity? Right.

And for me, the best way I could explain a food sensitivity is the body’s being overburdened with toxics and toxins and overburden with acids floating around and starting to eat away at the cells and the tissue around the cells because it starts a granulating.

And there’s blockages and the lymphatic system can’t flow properly through there to do its cleaning. And so we start accumulating a lot of these things that the body can’t get rid of. And so these toxins start overburdening the body and the body can no longer process some of these things. So it depends what the food sensitivity is.

But in my experience, with myself that used to be allergic to pretty much almost everything, not a lot of foods, but yes, dairy, etc, right.

And so this didn’t just one day, show up, it built up to that day one, it does show up. And so when the body is overburdened, the lymphatic system is not flowing properly, and the body can no longer process some foods and some toxins, and it starts showing us and giving us warnings and letting us know, you need to address some things, right. But instead, we depend on treating that symptom.

Hello there, Vanda Maria of Raw And Well, today I’m answering some more questions. And so the question is, will I be in pain while on detox? So will I be in pain?

That’s a question that is kind of popular, right? Am I gonna not be in pain? But let’s say, you know, am I gonna be happy having reoccurring symptoms Right?

Or while detoxing, and so first, we need to understand that detox works in reverse, right?

So we heal backwards, right. So the body is constantly dealing with what’s coming in, and never has enough time to go on to the deeper levels of detoxing, right, it just cleans what’s coming in, because it’s overloaded with toxicity.

We keep, we eat too much, right, so the body is constantly digesting.

And it doesn’t have enough time to heal those eight hours at night, most of the time, the body’s still even digesting and processing food that we ate during the day, and metabolic waste from that day’s food or from the day before even right.

So what what detox is that we give the body a break, by giving it the right conditions, we give the body a break from digesting so much.

And so it can start concentrating on the healing part, right, and get into the deeper levels of cleaning house, right of eliminating waste.

What Is Organic Food?

What Is Organic Foods?

Organic Food Definition

Understanding Organic Foods

While most of us have heard about organic foods we may not have that much of an idea about what this term means. So where can you get this information without getting bogged down by the technical jargon. There are a number of different places like dictionaries, encyclopedias, television shows and even the internet. The main item to remember when you are looking for organic food definition is in many cases the standard answer.

Feature Two

Now that we have covered the organic food definition is short we should take a closer look at this subject. For any food to be classified as being an organic food it needs to be free from all genetically modified internal cell structures. The plant must be like the ones that you see growing in the wild – but ones that we can eat without getting poisoned – and their inner cell structure should not have been tampered with.

Feature Two

Next the land that you are choosing to plant these 100% organic plants should be absolutely free from all traces of chemicals. To allow the land time to recover from the abuse of these harmful products like chemicals and pesticides you should uproot any chemically treated plants. Then you will need to leave the land alone for about 2 to 4 years.

Feature Three

This time period will allow the land to recover from the various chemicals which were heaped on it. Once you are sure that the land is ready for planting begin by fertilizing the land with organic fertilizers. These fertilizers will help prepare the land for plants. The first phase of organic food definition includes the preparation of the land where the food is to be grown.

Feature Three

Now you can plant your organic plant into the soil. Using only techniques which are healthy for your garden or land you should make sure that friendly bugs and plants are used to protect your garden’s harvest from plant hungry insects.

Feature Four

The entire combination package of chemical free land, organically produced plants and environmentally safe pesticides – read spiders and ladybugs here – along with protective, sweet smelling (to us that is) plants is what is ultimately meant by the organic food definition.

Water

Drink More Water For More Energy

What makes up 70-80% of our planet? Water. What makes up 70-80% of our body? That’s right, water.

Water is the single most important nutrient you will give your body apart from oxygen. Water rejuvenates us and carries vital nutrients all-round the body where it’s needed. Water picks up all the leftovers, wastes and debris that the cells throw off into the lymph system and transport them out of the body via the channels of elimination.

Drink More Water

So, when you drink more water it has the double combination of feeding your body and clearing you of all the waste products that were built up in your system.

Your brain needs water, and plenty of it. Without water, your brain will operate worn out, tired and sluggish. Water is the ultimate gift to give yourself to think with clarity. In addition, water acts as a kind of healthy lubricant moistening tissues and joints.

When you drink, you want to avoid tap water. Tap water is more like a dazzling mix of chemicals. It contains fluoride, chlorine, and many others. The amount of chemicals in water will fill up books – it’s more like a chemical soup. The evidence that fluoride is poisonous is so overwhelming that it’s being pushed to be banned in many countries by action groups.

Satisfy Your Thirst

The thirst mechanism when having been turned off for a prolonged period is often mistaken for hunger. As you drink more water your thirst mechanism will return to its natural state. Not only will you begin to feel thirsty when you need water again, but your appetite will decrease.

This brings us to the next big thing you need to understand about water. If I asked you the difference between inorganic and organic minerals, chances are you couldn’t tell me, right? Well let’s briefly explain the difference. It’s a simple difference. Organic minerals come from plants; inorganic minerals come from rocks and volcanic sources. Organic minerals can be broken down by the body. Inorganic minerals are not used by the body and are stored until suitable water can come and carry them out. Organic minerals can be broken down by the body, while inorganic cannot. One is derived from natural plant life; one is derived from rocks, filings and small pieces of grit. Which one makes more sense to use?

It’s better to get your plant minerals through the food you eat rather than the inorganic form in water. Bottled water is often taken, tested and found to have bacteria and very often isn’t rated much better than tap water.

Pure H2O

Pure H2O

Do you know the best water to use? The best water to use is the same water you use in your iron. The purest water in the world is distilled water. It’s as pure as rainwater should be if our atmosphere wasn’t polluted.

If you haven’t yet heard that 70% of the world’s population is dehydrated – you will soon, as the UN push to get proper water supply to people in the third world.

The second-best method of filtering is a type of filtering called “reverse osmosis”. Unfortunately, the standard bench top filter isn’t enough.

Most of the nasty contaminants in our water simply don’t have a taste. Some people feel it’s a case of out of sight out of mind. This may work for things people think, yet when it comes to your body, the life of your children, the health of those you care about and the line between getting cancer and surviving it’s far short of acceptable.

The opportunity for energy, for vitality, for a quality of life is only known to a select few who choose to raise their standards and take action to apply what they know. New discoveries are being made all the time as new research comes out of the United States, out of Germany, and out of Australia and other countries. How does this apply to me you may ask? Well, these contaminants can kill you. Is this a reason to get upset? No, it’s simply an action signal to act smarter.

The best bit is when you’re drinking absolutely pure distilled water it is so much easier to drink. It’s so easy to refreshingly flood your body with purity that will flush out chemicals, clear out the lymph system and contribute to expelling excess weight in the body. Distilled water is so easy to drink and be absorbed by your body without having to flush out the other nasties first that many people report who were struggling to drink half a liter of water a day, are now drinking 4 liters a day and up, with ease! If you can’t get distilled water, reverse osmosis filtered or table water is the next best option.

Many people in third world countries don’t have access to a clean water supply. We in developed countries have currently almost unlimited access to clean water. My suggestion to you is to use it!
