Yes, it's April in Allen, Texas. Rain, hail, sunshine. All in one day! People frantically parking their cars in their overpacked garages to protect from little pellets of ice. These showers and storms may be a nuisance, but they pave the way for something fresh, alive and beautiful, come May.
And that's what a proactive, healthy lifestyle does too. It may feel annoying to have to change habits now. To change your thoughts now. To change your approach to your body now. But come later, that investment of time and energy HAS to pay off. What you sow, you reap.
In April we focus a lot on preparing our bodies against seasonal threats. We load up on lemon, lavender and peppermint essential oils, and we take our PB Assist probiotic religiously. We know that strengthening the gut is important, because up to 95% of immunity lies in the gut. The time to back off or reduce wheat and dairy is now, as these substances can cause greater production of mucus, come Springtime. The time to increase fresh fruits and vegetables is also now, as the body naturally begins to detoxify now after a cold winter, and needs the hydration from everything such as apples & asparagus to yams & zucchini.
In Texas, it's going to get hot. These fruits and veggies help to calm the inner heat storm as it rises during these months. Additionally, nothing beats the revitalizing effects of cooling, therapeutic grade essential oils. So go ahead. Slather on that lemon, lavender and peppermint, or take that Triease capsule (10% off this month). Breathe in that On Guard essential oil blend for maximum immunity, and diffuse that Breathe oil loaded with eucalyptus and peppermint to open up your airways. Your lungs are asking for clean, purified, toxic free air, so be kind and generous with them. Day or night, invest in yourself now, stand tall and feel vibrant, and enjoy the rewards as they continue to manifest.
