Boost your Immune System

With all these nasty bugs going around I thought it would be good to chat about what we can do to avoid them! Here are some tips on boosting our immune system so we can lead a healthy, fun filled life together.

1. Sleep. On average we need 8 hours of sleep each night but this varies from person to person. Whatever your personal sleep needs are make sure you get it! Sleep has been linked to balancing hormone levels, keeping weight down, having a clear mind & healthy skin. (Perhaps I shouldn't be working on this post at 2am then?)

2. Water. On average we need 8 glasses of water a day! I have covered this in a previous post & am very passionate about it. My children will tell you that my response to most of their complaints is, "Have you been drinking enough water?".

3. Coffee. There is a lot of conflicting information on this one, but I would say that if you drink too much coffee you are damaging your body! The guidelines I've come across is 3 cups a day but I stick to one just to be safe.

4. Sugar. White refined white sugar is positively evil in my opinion (also medically proven of course). If you choose to apply only one of the points I have mentioned here then start with eliminating sugar. One thing to mention here though is not to replace sugar with artificial sweeteners, they are even worse than sugar.

5. Fruit & Veg. Daniel 1 in the Bible has a great story that proves how effective it is to eat fruit & vegetables. Fresh fruit & veg boosts your immune system, give you great skin & hair, boosts your energy levels... just about all health benefits come from eating plenty of fruit & veg.

6. Exercises. Exercise releases endorphins (your happy hormones). Most of us spend 90% of our lives indoors, inhaling stale or filtered air & other people's germs so exercising outdoors is even better.

7. Fun. What a great way to stay healthy! Fun releases endorphins & laughter is as medicine. (Proverbs 17:22) Take time to laugh, hang out with friends, and do whatever you find fun. When you are happy, you're far less likely to get sick.

Daniel Fast - Odours, Tiredness and Pains

These are some of what can occur during a fast but don't be alarmed, it is only worse case scenario.  Many people don't go through all of this so don't worry.  This info is merely so that you understand what is happening in your body and that you don't become concerned if some of these symptoms present themselves. Odours, tiredness, dizziness, headaches and other pains - these are some of the things that you will face during your fast.  As you continue to fast you body will begin to cleanse itself and eliminate toxins.  These toxins will come out of your body wherever they can which will mean that you might sweat more and your sweat will have a stronger smell than usual.  You breath will also be stronger than usual and so will you urine smell.  You may even get a funny taste in your mouth or feel that your tongue has a thick coat on it.  It sounds nasty, but for a while you will face unpleasant odours from your body, so brush well with a natural toot...

For Such a Time As This

Hello King's Daughters, It's been a while since I've been in touch and King's Daughters has been very quiet, in fact totally dormant.  During this time of dormancy, a seed has been growing inside of me and it's so strong that I have to seriously consider if it's God saying "It's time".  Time to start taking back what the enemy has stolen from us. Time to fight for our families, schools, churches, communities and nation. Time to pray together and be proactive, not reactive to what is going on in the world today. Time to talk about the complex topics that our churches may not be ready to discuss openly such as gender confusion and mental health issues. Time to learn how to generate an income or second income by using what's in our hands and to have extra to be generous to the world around us as we face economic uncertainty.  Time to find balance when everyone else is consumed by busyness. I have a story to tell, a struggle I've been through t...
