Know your body, What are you sensitive or allergic to.

Each week I send out a tip of the week to those that are on my mailing list. Some of you reading this blog may not be receiving them so I thought I would also add here.
If you would like to be added to the mailing list please let me know.

TIP OF THE WEEK - By Lillian Reekie
TIP 1-
‘Treat your child with total LOVE* and TOLERANCE* at all times.’
Regardless of what your child has or has not done we have to show them that we are TOTALLY on their side,
that we love them unconditionally and that we are there to support and encourage them under all circumstances and conditions.

*Love- is the ability not to drop your affinity for another person and to keep it there under any circumstances.
*Tolerance- is the ability NOT to show disapproval or disagreement to another person.

TIP 2-
‘Work towards gaining cooperation* with children; NOT control*.’
Instead of trying to control children with force, anger and nagging, talk to them, ask for their opinions and listen to what their wants and solutions are. Have a friendly conversation and let them participate in the solving of the problem.

*Cooperation is having the child operate in the same direction you are.
*Control means to cause a motion by force.

TIP 3-
Know and listen to your body (and your children’s) ; what you are sensitive to/ what doesn’t make you feel good or you react to or may even be allergic to*.
Keep a food/product diary, especially for your children, as sometimes various reactions can take days to become evident or cumulative in the body. By keeping a diary you can see what the common culprits were in the days prior to the reaction which can be behavioural or physical. Then you can avoid or modify to see if the reaction lessens or disappears*.

*It took me over 20 years to figure out I was reactive to wheat. I would wake up most mornings feeling sick in the stomach or with sharp pains and bloating. I used to eat a lot of vegetarian pasta and grains. When I gave up wheat most of those symptoms disappeared until I put it to the test again and after eating wheat, regretting it BIG time.
* Having allergy testing done is far more effective but this can be a good start. You can also enquire about allergy testing. I’ve just had it done and it is very interesting.

Recently we got invited to my Dads for dinner. He was cooking the boys favourite-ravioli.
I told Dad I couldn’t eat that and would need to bring my own food. Nathan encouraged me to use some special food salts that they make at his clinic that can help negate the effects various foods have on your body.
I was reluctant as I knew that having a full meal of ravioli which is large % wheat would cause havoc but he assured me that it worked well. So I took a few grains of the salt under my tongue before and after the meal.
The meal was really yummy and I did not experience any of my normal reactions of bloating or sharp pains.
Today I put it to the test again (being Easter) I got given a yummy Easter egg (possibly laden with additives) with peanut brittle from Darryl Lea. I thought for the good of all I needed to do some more research so have been consuming the egg throughout the day after having a few lots of the salts. So far so good! But I’m sure it won’t help at the scales 
