Feelin' good

Ok so here's the thing. I am feelin' good. In a kind of Buble, Muse and in a Fitzgerald kind of way. 

Why? Well where do I start? I have been on a complete juicing extravaganza. You name it I have juiced it. Beet root (raw), spinach, fennel, sugar snaps, ginger, lemon, lime, kale, courgette broccoli, pear, orange, apple, celery, you get the picture. I have added avocado, banana and natural yoghurt to the mix. (That part require blending) Sometimes following a specific recipe, but sometimes I chuck it all in and hope for the best…! It’s good to be creative right?! Look on youtube or google/buy books, or go to your local library for the many juicing/smoothie recipes! I could spend a year listing them…. I have added the amazing chia seeds and flax seeds reasons; incredible source of omega three, six and 9…what the body requires.

I have cut a lot of junk out of my body…a lot of bread, sugar rubbish, and a lot of caffeine. (Opting for green, chamomile, or lemon or ginger tea) I have also increased my water intake


I am sleeping better and feel really refreshed in the morning…wow this sounds like it could be part of an advert. I can assure you it is not. All from the horse’s mouth..erm so to speak.

I have started doing a little yoga too. I am afraid no pictures of this, maybe once I can look like a bendy elastic band.


Added with the luxury fragrances of lemon, lemongrass, neroli, lavender, rose essential oils this body mind and spirit has felt more alive than ever! Students have noticed a new fragrance each week. I don't like to disappoint.  Most people who know me would say “yeah Rebecca is pretty outgoing and crazy”, but I seriously feel the need to tell, singers, students, friends, that a little change can go a long way if you are feeling you are in a slump, need some much needed energy, or just generally feeling low. I have written a health pack for those who are interested in what I have to say! Here’s a sneak preview…;

Himalayan salt.

This wonderful pink uncontaminated stuff is 250 million years old. This salt is the best high quality salt you can get. It essential for life! Natural health promoting. A massive difference from the standard refined bleached table salt. Himalayan salt has been purified, re:crystallised…so many more chemicals are used in the salt! Yuk! A few benefits….;

• Regulate and maintain blood pressure.
  


• Nervous system. Chloride is essential for growth of the brain and growth of neurological function. The sodium activates the enzymes cells, for creative and long-time planning 
  


• Metabolism and digestion.
  


• Adrenal function- responsible for the release of the hormones.
  


• 84 minerals needed for the body
  


• Great in cooking!
  


• Great for baths!
  

 No need to reduce this salt… it’s essential to use!

Sea salt is better but not ideal!

Also if you buy the rock type of Himalayan salt you can put some in a glass of water, wait for it to dissolve, (may take a day or two) take a teaspoon of it every morning before breakfast and put it in another glass will up with water and drink!

Buy on amazon or your nearest health food shop.

That’s me in the picture by the way. Smiling happy and content. Let me know if you have changed your diet, exercised more, or are sleeping better? As a result are your practice sessions better? can you sing for longer because of the increased energy levels? 

Good luck and thanks for reading!!
