Happy Halloween

I hope everyone has a safe and eventful Halloween.

Remember, with Fall here and Summer gone, you will experience a change in temperature as well as other atmospheric changes. These changes will lead to changes in your circulatory system, so if anything is off... you'll know very quickly. Keep your pH balanced, (7.4 is your body's optimal level), and stay hydrated.

Stay Happy, Healthy, and Ready for Anything.

Rayven and Jasmine say...

Check your pH! Check your pH! The body will work to balance your pH naturally, but it was never meant to fight a 24/7 battle with the after effects of our culture. The only way it can balance the pH is by taking your own minerals from your body... like calcium. I don't know about you, but I like my calcium right where it is. Baking soda is cheap and extremely effective! Follow the directions on the box of Arm & Hammer to use it as an antacid. Simple! You can purchase pH strips to check what your pH is. It works with saliva and urine, though urine gives a more consistent result.

Tips for better Circulation

Breathe in through your nose! Most have asked why in through the nose? The answer: Your sinus acts as a turbine for the air that comes in. It heats it up so that your lung capacity opens to a greater degree allowing more air to come in.

Experiment: Take two balloons of the same size, stretch them out the same amount of times and then take a deep breath in through your nose. Breathe in as deep as your lungs will let you and blow as much air as you can into the balloon. Do the same thing with the other balloon except do it while taking a deep breath while breathing in through your mouth. What you'll get is the balloon that you breathed through your nose will be larger then the one breathed through your mouth.

The more oxygen your body gets, the healthier your body becomes! Don't forget to breathe!
