Love Your Gut RED DRINK Challenge

Love Your Gut RED DRINK Challenge

The year is now

You’re doing lots of fantastic things to protect yourself and your loved ones during these challenging time …. And we all need to do this!  However, there is one very important step to take to protect the greatest possession you have, which is yourself. That step is to do the Red Drink Challenge for 90 Days.   We need as much support to strengthen our body as we can – and this is the final piece of the jigsaw puzzle.


WHAT’S THE RED DRINK CHALLENGE?  

Also sometimes called the “Love your Gut challenge”, this is a simple recipe that re-hydrates your body and tissues in order to reduce swelling and inflammation in muscles and joints, at the same time as feeding you powerful nutrients to support your health. And if you suffer from any osteoarthritis, this will also help reduce joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

Twice a day you’ll be making up the following mixture: 

·         30ml (1oz) NingXia Red juice
·         3 x Sulfurzyme caps (or a teaspoon of Sulfurzyme powder) emptied into the juice ·         3 drops of Lime essential oil (if you live in Europe that will be Lime Plus oil, and if you live in the US that will be Lime Vitality oil).

Add these 3 ingredients to an empty NingXia Red bottle (or a 750ml glass bottle), and top up with filtered or spring water. Drink this in the morning, then make some more to drink in the afternoon.

For this challenge you will need a 2 pack of NingXia Red juice (plus a bit extra if you can), a bottle of Sulfurzyme and a bottle of Young Living Lime oil each month.

THE IMPORTANCE OF HYDRATION

According to Harvard News, drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.

But the Red Drink Challenge goes much further than simple re-hydration. It also delivers some powerful nutrients to your body which work in synergy to assist your body on every level – physical, mental and emotional. Here’s what its 3 key ingredients will do for your body:

1. NINGXIA RED SUPERJUICE  

Let’s start with a lesson in pronunciation! NingXia Red is a superfood, and it’s pronounced “Ning-sha Red”.  

This is a fabulous energy drink for the whole family, whether you’re just needing a way to kick-start your day, an afternoon pick-me-up, or a boost of vitality when you are doing a workout.  

It contains 16% organic goji berry puree….that means not just a concentrate, but all the goodness from the skin, seeds, and pulp.

This is combined with other high antioxidant fruit juices – Blueberry, Plum, Aronia, Cherry, and Pomegranate – and it’s sweetened with Stevia.

Even better, it is flavoured with 4 different citrus essential oils, Orange, Yuzu. Lemon and Tangerine, all very high in d-Limonene….and it tastes delicious!

60ml of NingXia Red is like having a whole fridge and freezer full of fruit and vegies in a single drink….it’s pure energy for our body!

In fact, 60ml of NingXia Red is equivalent in biological activity to consuming 118 heads of broccoli, 200 oranges, or 45,628 almonds!

The Ningxia Wolfberry puree is obtained from organic goji berries (wolfberries) from the Ningxia Province of China. Located near the Mongolian border, this region is fed by beautiful, pure, mineral-rich glacial water, which many attribute as the “secret ingredient” in the wolfberries.

  These wolfberries are so popular in China, there is even an annual festival to celebrate them! And no wonder – the Ningxia wolfberries have:

 ·         more protein than bee pollen (yes, they’re a high protein fruit!).

·         They also have more Vitamin C than oranges and

·         More beta carotene than carrots, and

·         They are high in Xeaxanthin (a nutrient needed by our eyes to optimize vision).

·         The ancient Chinese used wolfberries to support the health of their muscles, ligaments, bones, liver, heart, brain and eyes.

 There is a famous Chinese text written in 1593 AD. It talks about a wolfberry elixir which was given to an elderly man. After drinking it, this man “Could walk extremely fast, as if he were flying, and his grey hair turned black again.”

 Why? Because mineral loss in the body can cause premature greying of the hair. Support the body to have healthy levels of minerals, and it becomes supple and youthful.

 And don’t think that NingXia Red is just for your human family (young and old). It’s also very popular amongst the furry and feathered family. 

Gary Young, the founder of Young Living, was also a powerful advocate for NingXia Red. He challenged himself every day, and NingXia Red was his “go-to” for energy. Over two consecutive weekends in January and February 2017, he competed in two immensely challenging dogsled races in Alaska, with a total of 500 race miles. Click here to read the full article.


2. WHY YOUR BODY NEEDS SULFURZYME EVERY DAY

Sulfur is needed by our body so that we can have healthy skin, hair and nails, and the best natural source of sulfur is in MSM. But it’s not just good for skin, hair and nails – it’s also amazing for helping to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.

In fact, It’s the subject of a book by Dr. Ronald Lawrence called The miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain.

Sulfurzyme is a Young Living supplement which combines ground Ningxia Wolfberry with a high quality, natural tree source of MSM.

The wolfberry gives the body the vitamins and minerals needed to properly absorb the MSM in the supplement. This is the problem with most over-the-counter MSM products – they don’t give you all the necessary co-factors so that your body can best absorb the MSM, and you often don’t know where their MSM is sourced from.  

The Australian version of Sulfurzyme also contains the very powerful and emotionally balancing Copaiba oil. This powerful oil is popular amongst the Amazonian shamans and practitioners. It’s also a natural “amplifier”, so it amplifies the action of whatever essential oils or herbs it’s combined with.  

In fact, Copaiba oil is quite amazing in its own right. It’s sustainably tapped every few years from the Copal tree. The tap is put in, and the essential oil pours out! Wow!!!  

Every country is different in terms of the claims that we can make about Sulfurzyme and MSM. Here are the claims we can make per region: 

US/EU Statements:

In Europe and the US, we can state that MSM supports the immune system, the liver, circulation, and proper intestinal function, and it works to scavenge free radicals. 

Australia: In Australia, we can say that Sulfur is amazing for helping to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis.  

In fact, It’s the subject of a book by Dr. Ronald Lawrence called The miracle of MSM: The Natural Solution for Pain. And we’ve even had great results using it on aging animals – especially dogs and horses. Give 1 to 3 capsules a day to dogs. With horses, start with 1 cap in their feed, then increase by one cap per day up to 10 to 15 caps a day, then slowly ramp back down again.

3. LIME OIL – SOOOOO UPLIFTING!

Any type of Citrus essential oil is wonderful for relaxing us as well as uplifting our moods, thus carrying us into a “feel good” space. This applies whether we have it in our diffuser, or whether we are munching on or drinking foods flavoured with citrus oil.  

Yes, we’d still get some benefit from eating food made with the whole fruit…but remember that the essential oil is soooo concentrated and potent!  

Citrus oils come from the skin of the fruit.  

Did you know it takes the rind of 75 lemons to make 15ml of Lemon oil! With Limes, you can imagine it would take more, because of their smaller size.  

If you do the calculations, every drop of Lemon oil requires the rind of 1/4 of a lemon to make it! That’s incredible!

Lime oil is not just an amazing oil to use to flavour food and beverages. It’s also very powerful in many other ways.

Make sure you do some research online, and in a good reference book, and you’ll understand why Lime oil is something you really want to be taking in today’s crazy modern world! 

And it has so many other wonderful benefits. Your bottle of Lime oil will never go to waste.

Meet Larissa Phelps

 

I started my wellness journey way back in the beginning of 2010, after the Toodyay fires. I met a lovely lady who was offering a Bowen session to any horses that were in need of some TLC after such a scary time. Chief was home alone when the fires went through and fortunately the wind changed at the last minute and took it off down the opposite direction. He was however very rattled because not only were the water helicopters flying around there were media helicopters also and the smoke and very windy conditions I knew he just needed a de-stress. 

After watching this lady work and seeing the reaction from Chief I was hooked - and the rest they say is history. So while in Melbourne finishing my final module of my Equine Bowen Diploma. It was late on a Sunday afternoon and after 6 days of learning and assessments was really not in the mood to learn anymore - my brain was full. Then Artemis appeared with a bottle of Lavender and a bottle of Peppermint for us to inhale. Well within seconds my brain was awake and ready to go and I thought "bring it on". I was blown away by the potency of these oils and how they penetrated the senses. We listened to Artemis for about an hour and then she did a demo of the Raindrop Technique and Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique on 2 separate horses.

I watched as these 2 horses relaxed and for want of a better word, melt into their bodies and transform from fidgety 'high spirited' beings (there were about 20 of us standing in a small space - so they were put on the spot a bit) to look like they were flying high in a state of bliss - their eyes bright and shiny, their mouths relaxed and with a sense of inner peace flowing through them. My intrigue for these oils deepened.

A month later my starter pack arrived and I have to say I was pretty much hooked from the beginning. My first port of call was the Raindrop Technique oils and then bit by bit the oils used for the Egyptian Emotional Clearing Technique.

I worked and played with the oils for over a year before being totally convinced that they were the real deal and not just the latest fad to come into the market. I gained my qualifications as a Raindrop Therapy Technique therapist for both Humans and Animals. With the animals - predominantly horses I have watched them go from trying to eat their trimmer to standing calmly and enjoying their feet being trimmed, running a mile in the opposite direction from the float to self loading, and from being scared of their own shadow to being confident and self assured. This goes for my human clients also - well maybe not the feet trimming and float loading but with self esteem and confidence and believing in themselves.

I draw on my own experiences also - after having a major operation I would give myself a Raindrop everyday and I didn't need half the pain killers they would try and shove down my throat. My head nurse was amazed and when I told him all about the oils he said 'No wonder you haven't needed the pain killers'. They aided in my recovery enormously. I continue to this day to give myself a Raindrop every Sunday evening. 

During my oils journey also I completed my Diploma in Equine and Human Bowen and a Cert IV in Small Animal Bowen. If it wasn't for 2 of the most amazing oils that Young Living have I think I would have struggled. Well I was struggling - I would sit down to study and before I knew I had cleaned the house instead or found myself reading a book (on horses of course) or sorting my CD collection. So then Brain Power and Motivation came into my life and I would apply topically and diffuse before sitting down to study and after a while I would realise I had been sitting there for hours and I had achieved so much.

I have extended my studies over the years and added a few more tools to my toolbox by completing a Diploma in Indian Head Massage and Hot Stone Massage Therapy. 

My whole family, especially my pets are benefiting from what I do now which just makes me the happiest I have ever been, 
So if you wish to join us on a chemical free life, where abundance is everything, you have come to the right place.
