Body Rescue Tips December ‘08

Feed Your ‘Mind’: The 3rd symptom of inner peace “A loss of interest in judging other people”From Symptoms of Inner Peace (Saskia Davis)
Feed Your ‘Body’: As we move into winter, you will find it necessary to adjust aspects of your daily routine. To maintain whole body balance - keep warm, embrace the quiet evenings, sleep well, spend more time at home, reflect more, and take time to give. Winter energy imbalance is caused by-remaining overactive, late nights & parties, lack of rest & sleep, frustration and hoarding.
- Water & Herbs - Winter temperatures are clearly much lower than in the summer months, but it’s still important to maintain water intake, even if you don’t feel thirsty. Water is essential for several things, including cleansing the body through the kidneys and bladder (the two organs associated with winter). Hot tea made with marshmallow root is helpful for lung & bronchial complaints. Cayenne pepper and ginger are both natural stimulants, aiding in congested areas thereby increasing circulation. Nettle is a diuretic & tonic, and when used in tea is considered an excellent herb for kidney trouble & backaches. Used topically it aids with joint pain.
- Recipe for November – Tofu-avocado salad is a filling and high protein treat. With all the heavy and sugar laden holiday foods, this recipe is simple and yummy without the added calories and saturated fats. (Courtesy of Marcia, Body Rescue VIP).
- Mash a half pound of uncooked tofu with 1 or 2 avocados
- Ground sunflower seed/nut mix
- Little olive oil (or sesame oil) for smooth consistency
- Diced green onion, tomato, fresh lemon juice, and seasonings like soy sauce, cayenne pepper, and basil (all are optional, use as much or little of any-or add some of your own)
Mix everything together and enjoy! It can be eaten in a whole grain sandwich with sprouts, or as a dip for chips, crackers, celery & carrot sticks. Make this your holiday contribution at any gathering.

‘Body’ Facts: Kidneys - Several thousand quarts of blood pass through the kidneys daily, from which 160 quarts of liquid are extracted for further filtering. Of this liquid, most of it is reabsorbed into the body by a very complex filtering system, leaving one to two quarts to be excreted. In the Chinese system, the kidneys are perceived as storing the energy of life force-governing the cycle of transformation; birth, life and death.
