Nelcia knew that there<br />
had to be a better way.<br />
Searching for answers<br />
and alternatives she became<br />
an active member of<br />
the American Academy of<br />
Anti Aging Medicine<br />
(A4M) as well as becoming<br />
certified in Complementary<br />
and Alternative<br />
Medicine.<br />
‘The air we breathe, the<br />
food we eat, the chemicals<br />
we unwittingly take in<br />
our bodies, and sometimes,<br />
under the guise of<br />
medicine, as well as the<br />
ever-present stress, all<br />
contribute towards our ill<br />
health. Many people are<br />
now beginning to seek a<br />
more natural and plant<br />
based approach to health<br />
and supplementation by<br />
detoxing the body, boosting<br />
the immune system<br />
and nourishing it well…<br />
people are depending less<br />
on drugs alone.’’ she explained.<br />
‘If you occasionally<br />
detox your liver, kidneys<br />
and colon your general<br />
health experience will improve.’’<br />
Nelcia’s Nuggets<br />
When asked to share<br />
some major pointers with<br />
our readers which would<br />
help us to live a more<br />
healthy life, she willingly<br />
gave the following.<br />
1. Diet and nutrition are all important.<br />
One should detox once or twice per<br />
year. Those of us who grew up in the<br />
Caribbean are familiar with the washout<br />
after mango season when it is<br />
time to go back to school in September.<br />
Our old folk were onto something<br />
good and we should follow this<br />
advice.<br />
2. Take good quality iron and vitamins<br />
as supplements.<br />
3. Cut back on animal protein and<br />
animal fat.<br />
4. As far as possible, eat organic<br />
and avoid processed foods.<br />
5. Drink alkaline water. This helps<br />
neutralize excess acids. An<br />
acidic body is an unhealthy<br />
body.<br />
Water is life.
