DETOX and help your body come ALIVE - Unleash the ancient powers of Himalayan Crystal Salt

In my endeavor to continually seek new ideas and hacks on keeping our bodies healthy, I've come across Sole water. Pronounced (So-lay). The name may be derived from the Latin word "sol" meaning sun.


The idea behind this is that you are creating water that is "Alive". In order to make the water come alive, we need to add salt, not just any table salt, using Himalayan Crystal Salt or Pink Salt, is important. I have always been one to avoid adding salt to anything that passes my lips, I literally feel the impact of salty food the minute I consume it, so this has been an interesting experiment for me.

This sort of salt does not burden our bodies in the way other salts do. It contains about 84 minerals and elements needed by our bodies, compare that to table salt containing 97.5% sodium chloride.

When these two elements of salt and water connect, the geometric structure of the water actually changes. The water has a negative pole which is then surrounded by the positive ions from the salt and vice-versa, the salt's negative ions are surrounded by the water's positive ions, creating this new 3rd dimension. Both help to liberate each other and reach a higher form of energy. Think of it as an Elixir of Life, a source of health and power.



The interaction of salt and water when consumed, creates a vibration pattern in our bodies that is sustained over 24 hours. This concoction should be drunk first thing in the morning, prior to anything else. Keep in mind, coffee may actually reduce the benefit of drinking Sole water due to its acidic nature. The Sole water in itself will balance the body's pH level, actually preventing excess water retention and premature aging.

The other benefits are plenty, here are just a few:

  • Detoxifies the body
  • Strengthens bones
  • Improves digestion
  • Stimulates the metabolism
  • Increases immune function
  • May dissolve and eliminate sediments, which can cause kidney stones, gallbladder stones, and various forms of rheumatism

  • Clears up skin issues, such as psoriasis and eczema
  • Balances blood sugar levels; a necessary element for diabetics
  • Clears the lungs of sticky phlegm and mucus plugs
  • Natural antihistamine
  • Can regulate blood pressure 
  • Can prevent Osteoporosis

Here's how to easily make your own Sole Water:

    1. Begin with the highest quality Himalayan Crystal Salt you can acquire. You can use it in the form of stones or smaller crystals.

    2. Take a small glass jar with a tight closing plastic (non-metal) lid, fill it about a quarter of the way with the salt crystals.



    3. Fill the jar with a good spring water or at least filtered water, close the lid, and shake.




    4. Let it sit for approximately 24 hours.

    5. After 24 hours, take a peek. If you do not see any salt, this means the salt has completely dissolved. If this is the case, you must add more salt crystals until the water does not have the ability to absorb any more salt.


We are aiming for fully salt-saturated water. Continue to add salt until it no longer gets absorbed by the water. When this has happened, you will see salt sitting at the bottom of the glass jar as in the image below:


This means your water is 26% saturated, and now chemically stable. This process can be repeated as the water gets depleted, simply add more spring or filtered water, just ensure you see salt sitting at the bottom of the jar after it has settled. Once you no longer see the salt add more, shake and let it sit once again until settled.

    6. Each morning take 1-1.5 teaspoons of this Sole water and add it to a glass of spring or filtered water and drink before eating or drinking anything else. 

NOTE: For added potassium squeeze in fresh, organic lemon juice or add organic lemon juice available in glass bottles sold in your local Costco. Your body needs about 3,500 mg of potassium per day. Lemons are a great source of this vital macromineral providing 138 mg of potassium per 100 grams of lemon. This concoction may help those who are prone to leg cramps!
                                   




Let your body and cells absorb the delicate balance of this living water, capture the ancient energy and regenerate your body!



I would love to hear your feedback if you try it.

Here's to DIY Healthy and Happy... Cheers!

Nature's sweet treat... the FIG

I was fortunate to grow up with a tree giving these delicate, incredibly tasty, sweet gifts that have been enjoyed since ancient times. I was delighted to be able to go back 36 years later, battle the bees and pick these from the same tree, now huge and brimming with these little treasures!!

Figs are naturally rich in health benefits. These treats contain soluble dietary fiber, minerals, good levels of the B-complex group, and poly-phenolic flavonoid anit-oxidants, such as carotenes, lutein, tannins, chlorogenic acid...etc. Their antioxidant value is comparable to that of apples at 3200 umol/100g.

These little beauties protect us from cancers, diabetes, degenerative diseases and infections because of the phyto-chemical compounds found in figs that help scavenge harmful oxygen derived free radicals from the human body.

Because figs contain chlorogenic acid they help lower blood sugar levels and control blood-glucose levels in type-II diabetes mellitus (adult onset) condition




Figs and the fig tree are considered promising candidates for helping develop new drugs and researchers hope to continue finding new medicinal uses for the plant. Studies have already shown figs to be a good source of treatment for anemia, cancer, diabetes, leprosy, liver disease, paralysis, skin diseases, ulcers, gastrointestinal tract and urinary tract infections, and more. 


If you're lucky enough to find some, they make a great addition to many recipes, pair perfectly with goat cheese and are an incredible healthy snack.

DIY Healthy Carrot Muffins

Healthy Carrot Muffins


I found this fabulously healthy muffin recipe and decided to give them a try... they turned out tasty and super moist!



I increased the amount of carrots, used agave as the sweetener and topped them with a bit of oats and pecans.



Because these are made with applesauce, the fat content has been reduced, compared to muffins that use oil.

INGREDIENTS
  •  1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  •  1 teaspoon baking soda

  •  1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  •  1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

  •  1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

  •  1/2 teaspoon salt

  •  2 tablespoons butter, melted

  •  1/2 cup agave or honey

  •  1 egg, lightly beaten

  •  1 teaspoon Kirkland pure vanilla extract

  •  1 cup unsweetened applesauce

  •  1 cup finely shredded Costco Organic

      carrots (about 2-3 medium carrots)

  • 3 Tablespoons rolled oats

  • 2 Tablespoons pecan bits

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. 

Line a 6-cup jumbo muffin tin with paper liners.

Lightly spray liners with cooking spray so muffins won't stick.

Line bottoms of liners with a few rolled oats.

In a large bowl whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt.

Make a small well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the butter, honey, egg, vanilla, and applesauce.

Stir ingredients together until just combined, it is okay to see a bit of flour still at this point.

Fold in the shredded carrots just until combined (don't overmix or the muffins will be dense).

Distribute the batter evenly among the six muffin liners. 

Top with a few rolled oats and pecan bits.




Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.



Remove to a wire rack to cool completely. 







These muffins freeze wonderfully and keep well if covered at room temperature for 2-3 days.
