Gift-giving is a wonderful, well-intended gesture. It shows the recipient that you care.
But often times, people receive health problems in the making, along with the gift.
Some gifts are actually dangerous, since they increase the risk of diseases like cancer, diabetes and arthritis!
For example, gift baskets, loaded with processed meats, cheeses and chocolates are popular. However, almost 100 per cent of the meats in these contain sodium nitrite, which causes cancer and diabetes!
Sweets and chocolates promote diabetes and obesity, too, plus contain loads of chemicals. Is a moment on the lips worth forever on the hips?
Well, how about cheese? Cheese is very acid-forming in the body, leeching minerals from the bones to rebalance the pH of the blood. This can lead to osteoporosis. Also, too much acidity in the body causes problems, like inflammation, joint pain and arthritis. Disease thrives in acidic bodies! Meat, sweets and cheese are all acid-forming!
How about a mobile phone then? Cell phones are one of the worst sources of electromagnetic pollution - harmful radiation from electromagnetic fields, which goes directly into the head. Studies indicate it may cause brain cancer.
But, that's not all! The blood sugar levels of some people start to swing wildly when they are exposed to strong electromagnetic fields, causing Type 3 Diabetes.
HEALTHY GIFT PACKS
I have some gift solutions for you that are actually health-building! For example, I offer various gift packs of healthy, tasty beverages and living foods that nourish and cleanse your body.
You can check my website or call me. I can also custom design gift packs, such as "Healthy Chocolate Delights" or "Natural Hair Care". Gift-giving can be fun and healthy! My website is www.drgail.ca
If you prefer to give a non-food gift, I offer many choices that support good health.
SHAKE, BABY, SHAKE
Right now, I am featuring a Whole Body Vibration (WBV) platform. This exercise machine is easy, quick and effective. This WBV Mega Disc, can be used by practically anyone. If you can stand, you can enjoy this easy-as-pie exercise platform! In only10 minutes, you can get the equivalent of 1 hour's worth of activity, because it works out your whole body at once. Yet, anyone from couch potatoes to athletes can benefit from it. You can simply stand or sit on it and let it do the work, or you can exercise while you are on it.
Studies show it increases lean muscle mass, bone density, balance and flexibility, all without stress to the heart or joints. It improves circulation, blood flow and oxygenation into all the cells of the body.
Those with health challenges can stay active, get stronger and more flexible, improve the ability to walk and possibly reduce pain! If you use a cane or walker, this is for you too!
Even those in wheelchairs or in rehabilitation can place their feet on it for better circulation, oxygenation and lymphatic drainage.
You can also read about this on my website. Better yet, call me to try it for free in my clinic. I am amazed with this Mega Disc, and never want to be without it!
Another suggestion is a Gift Certificate for any service (consultations, iridology, Low Intensity Laser, detox footbaths) or supplements that I offer. I'll add an extra 10 per cent for free to whatever amount you purchase, to encourage you to choose healthy gifts for those you care about. Treasure the health of your loved ones! It is irreplaceable!
