Having an overly acidic diet can lead to a weakened immune system. Here are six ways to alkalize your body! 1. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water every day to keep your body systems regulated. For an extra boost in alkalinity – add lemon! 2. Trade coffee for green tea. 3. Use stevia, coconut sugar, or small amounts of honey in place of sugar. 4. Eat more greens. 5. Exercise to create more oxygen and qi flow in the body, and to avoid stagnation. 6. Reduce stress by meditating, practicing deep breathing, doing yoga, and getting plenty of sleep.

Take a Load Off
Maintaining workplace mental health is vitally important. Stats show that most people spend the majority of their waking hours at work. Using break times is one effective way to improve overall mental health and boost productivity! Oftentimes, busy schedules and looming deadlines prevent us from taking breaks when we need them most. A short time away, doing something we enjoy, helps to reduce stress and emotional exhaustion, while providing a fresh focus and the necessary energy to accomplish tasks. Stretching, walking, listening to music, and reading or watching something funny are all ways to help lighten the load.

What is Ghee?
Simply put, ghee is a variation of clarified butter that originated in India. The ghee-making process, which includes the extraction of the milk fats and water, intensifies the flavour of the butter. You’ll find that in cooking preparations, to get the taste of butter, you need significantly less to reach satisfaction. Ghee can help get your body back to a healthy state, while triumphing over heart disease, diabetes, obesity, depression, hormonal imbalances, and more. For people who are lactose or casein-sensitive, they can use ghee because the process has removed these allergens!
