The commercial fast foods that aren’t naturally processed are genetically altered and highly toxic. There are no commercial foods safe to eat. These toxins and synthetic chemicals destroy and deteriorate the human body and are addicting.
We may be... 1) using refined white sugar that has been demineralized- (almost everything contains a form of sugar today). 2) we don’t get the purest, most natural foods anymore, because manufacturers add dyes, acids, artificial flavors, texturizes, preservatives, synthetic chemicals, hormones, antibiotics, and steroids. |

Foods can be our medicine, but not unless they are natural foods. You can change your food choices, but you can only change them for the better by creating new habits and teaching yourself to use natural foods.
If you had an organic pomegranate in one hand and a pickle in the other to eat, you have to decide which one is best: natural or processed? You know that your body needs natural/organic foods for balance.

Contaminated Fruits and Vegetables
Pesticides can enter the body through inhalation, skin contact from contaminated soil, water, and foods. Over a period of time, pesticides can contaminate the body with toxins, free radicals, and waste products that stress the filtering systems of the body and reduce the body’s ability to fight diseases.
    |
Since the Environmental Protection Agency was founded in 1970, 134 pesticides have stopped being used in the United States, and 37 have been outlawed. The systemic spraying of pesticides introduces harmful chemicals to be absorbed by a plant when applied to its seeds, soil, or leaves. The chemicals then circulate through the plant's tissues, killing the insects that feed on them. Some pesticides are dangerous to human health. Pesticides are linked to a list of long-term illnesses such as prostate, lung, thyroid, and bone cancer; diabetes; Parkinson's disease, asthma, and macular degeneration. See the source information linked below. |

Vegetables
1. Celery 2. Spinach 3. Potatoes 4. Sweet red bell pepper 5. Lettuce 6. Carrots 7. Green beans 8. Hot peppers 9. Cucumbers |

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) defines pesticides as any chemical substance used to regulate, prevent, or destroy plants or pests. Pesticides are used throughout the world as mixtures called formulations, such as Roundup, a glyphosate-based weed killer tested as the most toxic herbicide and insecticide with carcinogenic properties.
SHOP ORGANIC PRODUCE
Reduce contamination by shopping at local food markets where organic produce is sold, buy organic fruits and vegetables, or grow your produce at home. Eating organic fruits and vegetables from the produce section or grown at home means that you are ingesting high amounts of vitamins, minerals, and fiber needed for balance.
Natural, whole, or organic food's connection to health and wellness can be easy for us to relate. As with all organic foods, none are grown or handled using genetically modified organisms prohibited by USDA organic standards.

Balance Root Chakra | with Crystals
ROOT CHAKRA BLOCKAGE | THE 3 UNKNOWN IMBALANCES
ROOT CHAKRA BLOCKAGE
The first Root Chakra promotes vital energy to harmonize the body, helps to control harmful triggers and our overall health. We have access to our earliest foundation in life, represented from birth to adolescent years through the Root Chakra.
WELCOME BACK to Reality in Balance. You can find additional information about us at www.realityinbalance.com. In this blog post and cast, we’ll identify The 3 Unknown Imbalances that could be blocking your 1st Root Chakra.
As mentioned earlier, the root chakra represents the physical will of being, and where there are blockages in the root chakra, there’s stagnation in moving forward in life.
THE 3 UNKNOWN IMBALANCES
1.) » YOUR LACK OF MOTIVATION
The way that you speak to yourself by using negative affirmations is saying that you haven’t fostered the motivation that it takes to overcome circumstances. Speaking down to yourself can bring about imbalances in the body, such as depression, furthering a defeatist attitude. An on-going speech of negativity can block your root chakra, and in turn, keeps you at a lowly state of awareness with the inability to empower yourself.
It may be hard to promote positive affirmations, and this is okay. Do not be too hard on yourself because there are other simple ways to bring about a flow of motivation for you to release root chakra imbalances. Can you guess what that is? Listening to music can be a tool for focus, motivation, and inspiration. Listen to the lyrics as if it’s your first time hearing them, remembering that words have force and power.

2.) » FEELING EMOTIONALLY DRAINED In the state of feeling emotionally drained is when you have lost the footing for a purposeful life. The journeys taken have no relevance to you because of the hardships. In reality, we naturally gravitate to the root of the problem, and in this case, you could have blockages in your root chakra due to an imbalanced state of emotional drainage from loss, worry, and or defeat. |
|
Disconnect from the emotions that no longer make sense to you and are blocking your divine destiny. Whatever causes you to feel worn-out emotionally- work, relationships, etc., start a journal about it. If you don’t like to write, talk about it. Write about it, talk to someone that you trust, or both, so that you can begin removing the obstacles that keep you feeling emotionally drained. Journaling is a process in writing where you can let your feelings go and release them without judgment.

3.) » YOU ARE HOPELESS
The inability to will and drive forwardness into your life can lead to a state of hopelessness. The root chakra deals strictly with the physical will of being, and it’s something that you should never ignore. Get rid of self-destructive habits, and start helping yourself.
You have to begin making yourself accountable for your circumstances, and it’s called building self-development. Self-development is where a person can acknowledge their life lessons and then positively apply those teachings. Most of our problems stem from the past and sometimes with unsurmountable imbalances still thriving in you today, also known as root chakra blockages.

THE COLD OR FLU? | A HOLISTIC HEALTH VIEW
The Cold or Flu, a Holistic Health View, is a quick and easy guide to interpret the difference between the imbalances of the immune system due to the cold or flu. You can find additional preventive tips here💡
THE COMMON COLD
The common cold, also known simply as a cold, is a viral infectious disease of the upper respiratory tract that primarily affects the nose. The throat, sinuses, and larynx may also be affected. Colds can last between one to ten days, while the flu can last longer, twelve days or more, followed by a week or so of weakness and a residual cough.

Cold Signs and Symptoms:

THE FLU
The medical terminology for the word flu is Influenza. Influenza is a highly contagious viral infection of the upper respiratory tract. There are three forms, Type A, Type B, and Type C, both causing acute infection to the throat, nose, bronchial tubes, lungs, and middle ear.

Flu Signs and Symptoms:
|
There are more than 200 individual strains of viruses that can cause the cold or flu, and these strains are constantly changing, so the vaccinations against these viruses are always changing as well, which leads to minimal effectiveness for the prevention of outbreaks. More Preventive tips💡
Vaccines are available each year for influenza to reduce the likelihood of its spreading. If the strain targeted is the one that hits during the winter season, the vaccination is effective. The cold/flu is unpredictable and can affect anyone at any age.
