Cruise Ship or Nursing Home

On Saturday, Steve and I attended a seminar put on by the Maximized Living Chiropractors in our area, entitled Cruise Ship or Nursing Home. Basically they asked us where we wanted to be when we grew older, in a Nursing home or on a cruise ship...well duh, I wanna be on the Cruise ship, silly. Who doesn't? I don't think any of us wake up one day and say, "hey, I'd really like to live in a nursing home when I'm 80." Nope, not how it works. So, how do you not go to a nursing home. Well, I did learn a few new things, but a lot of it was stuff that I have been learning over the last 6 months at Dr. Kevin's office. There are 5 essentials to Maximized Living, and if you follow all five, you will live a healthy life.

I want to talk about the essential that I just dealt with, and that's Toxins. No matter where you turn or where you go, toxins are absolutely everywhere. In our food, water, soaps, air, our homes, absolutely EVERYWHERE! So, what do you do about it? There's a lot of things that you can do. First, start buying natural soaps, cleaners or better yet, start making your own. A very inexpensive thing that you can do is crack a window. Even in winter. Get a little fresh air in your house. The toxins in your paint, carpet, cleaners, etc. etc. build up and build up, and then you are breathing in toxic fumes, whether you realize it or not. Start buying organic. Now, I know many of you think that you can't afford to buy organic. One of the best things you can do is hit your local farmers markets, or grow your own produce. Buy and freeze stuff when it is in season. It is WAY cheaper to buy at your local farmers market than it is to buy it in the grocery store, plus it is fresher and tastier. And what I just finished doing was a total cellular detox. I have to tell you what this has done for me and my husband, Steve.

I have lost a total of 9 lbs, I have lost my addiction to caffine and sugar. (I used to drink a pot and a half of coffee a day!) I sleep better, I feel more alert, and best yet, I am happier than I have been in months. Steve, is also experiencing the same type of results, and he has lost 20 lbs. This detox is a 30 day program. We plan on doing this about every 6 months to get the toxins out. I have been told by many that every time you do the detox the easier and better you feel. Detoxifying is just one of the 5 essentials, but if you start with that, even just getting some of the chemical cleaners out of your home, you will be one step closer to the cruise ship, and you will be helping your children lead better lives as well.
