16 Gifts of Health for the Holidays

16 Gifts of health for the Holidays savorylotus.com

It’s the holidays, and people are madly shopping around to find the perfect gift.  But you don’t have to join the mobs at the mall or add to the  “stuff”  that is collecting in peoples’ homes.  Give the gift of health this year instead.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we all just helped each other get healthier? 

Do you have a family member who is trying to lose weight but can’t.

Is there anyone in your family who has trouble sleeping?

Does someone you love suffer from food allergies?  Did you know that you can heal them with diet?

Can you think of someone in your life who loves to cook that would adore a healthy cookbook on Paleo Mediterranean cooking?

Can you think of a busy mom who could use a Real Food Survival Guide?

Are you interested in making your own organic beauty products?

So, forget about those slippers you were going to buy Uncle Bob.  Cousin Mary doesn’t need another robe.  And Grandma has enough scarves.

This year, I am supporting my fellow bloggers by giving the gift of health to the people that I love.  The holidays aren’t about buying “stuff” for your family and friends.  They are about loving them up and caring about them.  And what better way to show that you care than to help them on their journey to health. And the best part is that you don’t even have to leave your house to get these amazing gifts.  (Now that’s my kind of shopping!)

🏋🏼 there are many things that are out of your control • here are the things you CAN control: 

• your diet 
• your sleep 
• the amount of exercise you do 
• the amount of drainage/detox support you do 
• the amount of daily toxins you come in contact with in your home environment (food, air, water, personal care/cleaning products)

☕️ a coffee enema involves introducing organic, mold free coffee into the colon • the caffeine stimulates the liver and gall bladder to push out bile which carries toxins from your liver into your colon • it also helps the liver produce more glutathione, which is your master antioxidant • besides increased liver detoxification and glutathione production, coffee enemas also can :

- cleanse the bowels 
- improve digestion
- increase bile flow/gall bladder function 
- flush out parasites 
- help with clearer skin 

🏋️‍♂️ lifting heavy weights fires up the metabolism and helps increase lean muscle • muscle is the economy of aging • having a strong metabolism reduces risk for insulin resistance, diabetes, cancer, cardiac issues, dementia, and other chronic conditions • it also gives you more energy, a better mood, and a stronger, more resilient body as you age
