1 New Body & Mind Newsletter - September sawadee@newbodyandmind.com - THE BENEFITS OF YOGA WHILST DETOXING Often during a detox, cleansing our bodies and eliminating physical impurities, we may find mental and sometimes negative emotions surfacing. All our issues are in our tissues which is to say we store emotions in our bodies. So the yoga component is essential to the success of all our wellness programs. Benefits Yoga combines gentle movement, stretching, twisting and conscious breathing which helps to assist the detoxification process. It gently stretches your muscles and joints as well as massaging your internal organs which ensures optimal blood supply to all parts of your body. Also helps to improve the rate at which lymph and blood, transporting the released toxins, is pumped through the body, improving drainage of toxins and generally assisting and speeding up the elimination process. Yoga boosts energy levels, as you take in and store abundant amounts of energy through conscious breathing whilst holding the postures. On every level, waste is being released and replaced with energy and light. Yoga helps to enhance the state of relaxation causing the healing, restorative nervous system to take over as the body starts to clean and heal itself. Doing Yoga whilst fasting helps achieve new levels of physical, mental and spiritual awareness. It is the perfect platform to practice letting go and teaches us to be more sensitive, perceptive and compassionate with ourselves and flexible with our thoughts. Complementing your detox with Yoga will help bring balance and harmony on all levels, promoting a general feeling of well-being physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually as toxins and impurities on all levels are eliminated. New Body and Mind has given due consideration to our daily 1.5 hour yoga/meditation session and compiled it so that people of all ages, sizes and physical state are able to take part and enjoy the many benefits.

2 VITAMIN C FRUITS & VEGETABLES WITH THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATIONS We ve all had it drilled into us: citrus fruits are the source for vitamin C. But citrus fruits aren t the only source. They aren t even the best source! The amount of vitamin C in one serving of papaya, strawberries, pineapple, bell pepper, broccoli, or Brussels sprouts exceeds the amount of vitamin C in a medium orange. Many fruits are high in vitamin C. Here is a list from The World s Healthiest Foods of the fruits and vegetables with 50% or more of the daily requirement of vitamin C in each serving. Fruits Highest in Vitamin C Papaya (one medium) 224% (Papaya seeds can be dried and used like black pepper; makes great enzyme supplement) Strawberries (one cup) 113% Pineapple (one cup) 105% Oranges (one medium) 93% Kiwi (1 2 in) 85% (Eat the peels!) Cantaloupe (1 cup) 78% Grapefruit (1/2) 59% Vegetables highest in vitamin C Bell Peppers (1 cup red or yellow) 157% (green peppers are unripe peppers) Broccoli (1 cup) 135% Brussels sprouts (1 cup) 129% Cauliflower (1 cup) 73% Kale (1 cup) 71% Cabbage (1 cup) 69% Bok Choy (1 cup) 59% Parsley (1 cup) 54% Turnip greens (1 cup) 53% Sweet potato (1 cup) 52% Vitamin C is needed for the immune system, but that is not its only claim to fame. Vitamin C is needed for many physiological functions. It is an anti-oxidant. It is a co-factor for eight enzymes, thereby aiding in developing and maintaining scar tissue, blood vessels, cartilage, hormonal stability, biosynthesis of neurotransmitters, and transport of fatty acids into mitochondria. So how can you mix and match some of the veggies and fruits above to deliver a power dose of vitamin C to your diet? A fruit salad? Yeah, that s an easy way. But let s look at a more creative recipe. Beautiful and delicious kale salad 1 bunch of kale 1 tablespoon of olive oil 1 red bell pepper 1 tart apple handful of walnuts handful of raisins 1 lime honey to taste Tear the kale into edible pieces, saving the stems for another recipe or thinly slicing them for this salad. Sprinkle olive oil over the leaves (use a little more or a little less as needed) and massage the oil into the leaves with both hands until the leaves become soft and pliant. Add sliced red pepper, chopped apples, raisins, and walnuts. Juice one lime. Add honey to taste and whisk. Pour over salad and mix well. Enjoy!
