Spiritual:

Take daily time out to reconnect spiritually.

Pray, meditate, write down your personal faith proclamations and meditate on these proclamations on a daily basis.

Physical body:

Support your body with healthy food – fresh veggies, fruit, fish, nuts, berries, and two portions of red meat per week. Your body can only use what YOU put in, to recover your physical strength and health.

Drink 350ml clean mineralised water per 10kg of your body weight per day is necessary for normal brain and body function. Start increasing water intake until you reach your optimised level.

Limit sugars, refined carbs, heated fats, caffeine and alcohol.

Incorporate some exercise in your daily programme, a gentle stole daily where you can appreciate nature, will be more beneficial than a harsh exercise programme, that might deplete your body even further.

Sleep 8-10 hours per day, for your body to be able to recover strength!

Supplementation:

Vit C, Vit D, Omega 3, Bcomplex, B12, Ashwagandha, Adreno support alternatives.

Healthy Mind:

Guard your thoughts and your mouth! Think what you are thinking about, as Dr Caroline Leaf states it… Whatever you think of, create structure in your brain and activates chemicals that floods your complete body. Positive thoughts you meditate on will thus flood the body with healthy chemicals that will build back a healthy body and mind!
