Begins with Blood

Health and Wellness by Amy Maloon & Chris Reamer

True quality of life begins and ends with our health…more specifically our blood health. An ample supply of well-nourished blood manifests in a radiant complexion, luscious strong hair, bright eyes, and a clear focused mind. When we are at our optimal health, our bodies are fully able to nourish and regenerate every cell in our body. Modern-day life however, often goes against the natural rhythm of our bodies.

Stress and toxic environments can cause toxins to build up which can recirculate in the blood stream and overburden the body. At this point our health is rundown and it shows, with graying skin, withering hair, and dull eyes. Building up our blood is the basis for good health, and to understand what blood is, we need to take a look at what blood does.

Blood brings oxygen and nutrients to all the different parts of the body so they can keep working. Blood carries carbon dioxide and other waste materials out to be removed from the body, fights infections, carries hormones around the body, and functions as an enormous communications network allowing all our organs to cooperate as one unified multicellular organism.

Would you believe that the liquid inside of a coconut is similar enough to human blood that it could be injected directly into your veins? The electrolyte solution inside a coconut actually has the same osmolarity as blood, the perfect dissolved equilibrium for the support of biological cellular function, and Chlorophyll, the compound produced by plants to trap the sunlight needed for photosynthesis, has almost the same atomic structure as blood, allowing for the transport of oxygen into the living cells.

Inside of each of us, our blood is like our own private primordial ocean of life, a drifting microscopic universe of single-celled organisms, taking up nutrients and eliminating waste products back into the stream of life. All powered… on oxygen. Oxygen-rich blood cells are healthy blood cells and when cells are deprived of oxygen, they become weak and susceptible to disease.

We usually think of absorbing Oxygen in the air we breathe, but we also absorb oxygen from water and food. The Water molecules or H2O is made up of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, and being well hydrated increases our overall oxygen levels, by making it easier for your blood to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the rest of your body. Green juices and other nutrient rich foods, contain high doses of vitamins, minerals, and live enzymes in a bioavailable form that absorb directly into the bloodstream, and increases its ability to transport oxygen into cells.

dirt path yoga

Follow the dirt path and we’ll see where it leads.

Inspired by the Indian summer and drawing upon the need to find nature within the city, I keep finding myself walking down some unknown dirt path with a yoga mat strapped to my back. What I will find, I don’t actually know. More often than not I discover some place special that many might not know. I lay down my mat and salute the sun and feel a sense of peace. With the intention of having a yoga practice connected in nature, I invite you to join me on my quest.

I will guide everyone to a location of interest and lead a yoga class with some guided meditation. Bring a picnic lunch and we can hang out and chat afterward.

The living ktichen

The healthy living diet can come in so many different forms and shapes. The common thread that knits together healthy living diets across diverse geographies and traditions is really just whole, minimally processed foods close to their source from nature. Having a direct personal connection with our food source in its complete lifecycle context, provides untold benefits to us, both in the terms of our access to higher quality foods, and our cultivation of personal reverence and understanding of natural balances with the resource.

A transformational staple food, Green Juices contain high doses of vitamins, minerals, and live enzymes in their most bioavailable form. Juicing greens helps to allow the body to consume micronutrients and enzymes without having to use very much energy. The nutrients are immediately absorbed into the bloodstream so you benefit right away. The nutrients in green juices provide your body with a boost in energy, packed with high doses of key micronutrients critical for intracellular energy production.
