4️⃣Beans + legumes are rich in plant-based protein, as well as being full of fiber. If you’re vegetarian, vegan, or just like to eat beans and legumes, but you wind up having gas because of it, cook them with dried kombu seaweed. It has enzymes that help breakdown the raffinose in the beans, which will create less gas.

5️⃣Tomatoes are considered a nightshade vegetable and can increase inflammation. If you love tomatoes, before you eat them, remove the skin and the seeds. These contain the highest amount of lectins that can cause digestive problems and inflammation.

6️⃣If you go to a Chiropractic doctor for maintenance and prevention to get adjusted once every 4 to 6 weeks, you not only allow for quicker healing if you get injured, but your ability to keep your immune system boosted goes up by 200%.

7️⃣Drinking warm, lemon water in the morning has many health benefits. It flushes your system of toxins, alkalizes your body, and keeps your digestive system working optimally.

8️⃣Drinking liquid aloe after each meal, not only kills cravings, but it also kills bacteria that may be left on the food you just consumed. It also helps with absorption, digestion, as well as repairing the digestive tract.

9️⃣Jumping up and down on a trampoline or a small trampoline, known as a rebounder, can help stimulate your lymphatic system to remove toxins from the body.

1️⃣1️⃣Doing a sauna (heated stone/dry) has many benefits. If you do a sauna for 10 to 15 minutes before you exercise, it will help open up your pores, so you could sweat more when you work out and release more toxins.

✅Use organic cotton bedding

✅Remove all light from your room, especially blue light from electronics

✅Stay off of all electronics an hour before bed

✅Stop eating two hours before bed

✅Stop drinking liquids one hour before bed

✅Keep your room very cold

✅Wear as little to no clothing at bedtime

1️⃣4️⃣One of the best natural cleaning solutions is to combine a few teaspoons of baking soda with 1-2 cups of water. This gives you a natural produce scrub! You can add the mixture to a spray bottle for a cleaning spray.

Another solution is to take half a lemon, add some salt to it and spray whatever surface with vinegar first.

Either way, you can use both solutions to get pesticides, dirt, and other unwanted microbes out of every nook and cranny in your produce and/or surfaces.

1️⃣5️⃣For those of you who sit at a desk for hours on end, every 20 to 30 minutes take a stretch break. This can be done by standing up and doing light stretches, or by sitting in your desk chair, spreading your legs as far as you can, and allowing your body to fall forward. This will stretch your lower back and your hips.

1️⃣6️⃣Avocados are one of the best super foods you can eat. Not only are they rich in fiber, but they are also high in healthy fats.

✅Acidic foods

✅Spicy foods

✅Fried foods

✅Alcohol

✅Caffeine

✅Downward-facing dog

✅Child’s pose

✅Legs up the wall pose

These poses can improve circulation, stretch out tense neck and shoulder muscles, and help you relax—all of which can also help your headache go away.

1️⃣9️⃣If you have body aches, pains, muscles soreness, or you just feel stiff, take a warm Epson salt bath for 20 to 30 minutes.
