Carbohydrates supply the body with the energy it needs to function. They are found almost exclusively in plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, peas and beans. When choosing carbohydrate rich foods, always select unrefined foods, and whole grain products, as opposed to refined foods such as soft drinks, desserts, candy and sugar.
Fiber is important, as it is not digested, and provides soft and bulky stools, which prevent constipation and haemorrhoids. It reduces the risk of colon cancer, and maintains a clean digestive tract. It helps to lower blood cholesterol levels, and reduce heart disease.
Protein is essential for growth and development, and provides the body with energy. Proteins are found in meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs, milk, grains, beans, chickpeas, lentils, green leafy vegetables, brown rice, nuts and seeds.
Fats are important for brain development in infants and children. However after 2 years of age, the body requires only small amounts of fat.
Saturated fatty acids should be reduced; these are found in animal products, dairy, coconut oil, palm oil and vegetable shortening. Saturated fats raise blood cholesterol.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in corn, soybean, safflower and sunflower oils. Certain fish oils are also high in polyunsaturated fatty acids.
Monounsaturated fatty acids are found mostly in vegetable and nut oils such as olive, peanut and canola. These fats have an effect on lowering cholesterol levels.
Vitamins and minerals are needed for those people who are active, exercise, under stress, on restricted diets, mentally or physically ill, women who take oral contraceptives, those on medication, recovering from surgery, smokers and those that consume alcohol.

Iridology

The health of the body is then reflected in the iris, and as the body's health improves, this is then indicated in the positive changes of the iris.

Intuitive Healing
Illness may often be an opportunity created within oneˇ¦s life to change and transform, and seen this way, it may be approached with less resistance.
A key to self healing is compassion. Expressing compassion for oneself creates an inner ease and clear perspective which can allow change and healing to occur. Opening up to soul and spirit healing may be the missing component to a complete recovery.
Healing releases the stored negative emotions which are held in the aura, and balance the chakras. It helps to release any spirit attachments which would affect the overall balance of the person.
Crystals can help to transmute negative energies which are blocking the different organ systems, and they also help to open the channel to spirit guidance.
Sound therapy is another form of frequency which helps to release unresolved blockages inhibiting growth and balance. Different tones may be required to achieve the correct vibrational energy.
Past life balancing will help to stop the repeating sequence of negative events/pattern. Once the past life issue is pinpointed, and resolved, healing can then take place.
Different techniques may be offered for self help, and empowerment. These will all aid in the maintenance and self improvement of the individual. Opportunities for self management and rebalance will allow for increased intuitive abilities and guidance to come through from spirit guides.
Angelic healing and guidance offers amazing transformation for the soul. Protection from negative energies will provide complete peace and tranquility. A new way of experiencing life will be provided when walking with spirit, and the angels. Disease will be a thing of the past and health, wellbeing and vitality will be the new present and future.
