Community Support +How does community affect health?What Does Absenteeism Cost?Our ability to make healthy choices depends greatly on conditions in communities where we live, learn, work and play. ... Accumulating evidence shows that social factors such as education, child care, income, housing and neighborhood conditions—also called social determinants—influence healthEnvironmental factors can also have an influence on our food choices. These are aspects of a setting, atmosphere, or location that influence an individual's choices. Layout, marketing, climate, weather, price, and availability are examples of environmental factors.Factors that guide food choice include taste preference, sensory attributes, cost, availability, convenience, cognitive restraint, and cultural familiarity.Poor eating habits include under- or over-eating, not having enough of the healthy foods we need each day, or consuming too many types of food and drink, which are low in fiber or high in fat, salt and/or sugar.

The almost universal HEALTHY practice is to have food combining the fruits and vegetables  from gardens combined; and the flowers, herbs, clays, and naturally wild crafted foods can be  placed in juxtaposition with the wrong food combining choices.


Soon Michael King from VH&C will join me and we will explore together his suggested five 5 New Ways to Enhance Your Fast to Quickly Bounce Back from Holiday Stress, Food, and Drink


Naturally during holiday and family celebrations we set aside some of our personal health practices, consume certain foods or food combinations we normally would not eat, and promise ourselves to make up for it later.Time with family and friends rightfully take precedence over the perfect diet, knowing that love and the joy of closeness produces the greater healing power.At the same time it's easy to cross the line between what a body can easily tolerate short term, to what pulls the health off course just enough to develop into a health crisis.Mood swings, depression, digestive disturbance, tooth inflammation, lung & sinus congestion, increased snoring, loss of libido, added weight, and mental fog are just a few of the most common side effects of celebration foods and holiday stress.Left unattended, more extreme effects may include a resurgence of old health problems, joint & muscle pain or swelling, skin rashes or breakouts, or more serious conditions like congestive heart condition, arterial blockages, heart failure, suicidal depression, or chronic fatigue, among many other possibilities.Whatever the symptoms, understand they need not last long. There are a few things that can be done to speed your recovery from times of celebration.First and Foremost – Fast, with Some Discretion

The most important thing you can do to reset the body when things get out of balance is to reduce the consumption of food. Fasting is the quickest way to ease the strain on your body after a period of overindulgence.Even light fasting frees up energy normally required for the digestion of food to be repurposed for detoxing the liver from the celebration influences and repairing damage to the organs & glands from poor food combining practices (yes, sugar, alcohol, coffee, nuts, and the combination of fats and starches can cause harm to your organs and glands).

t is important to note, however, that the type of fast performed will vary from person-to-person based on three primary factors:

A. Prior levels of exposure to chemicals, mercury, other industrial metals, and medical treatments/medications.B. Prior dietary practices and personal readiness for lighter foods, less food, and better food combining.C. Commitment to health improvements with a willingness to go the distance, whatever is required. CLAY BATHS will play a bigger role in detoxing the body per fasting!
