Herbal Remedies for Dehydration

Do you constantly feel fatigued throughout the day and thirsty even after drinking several glasses of water? This may be because your body is not retaining enough water and is asking for more. No matter where you live hot or cold make sure you are taking care of your body and drinking water when you are thirsty. Dehydration affects vital organs of the body like brain, kidney, liver, stomach, lungs etc by hampering the oxygen supply to the brain. 

The most common warning signs and symptoms of dehydration are:

Diarrhea/ Dry mouth/ Sleepiness/ Feeling thirsty/ Decreased urination / Muscle weakness / Lower blood pressure/ Very dry skin

Types of dehydration:

Hypotonic or Hyponatremic- the loss of electrolytes, mostly sodium

Hypotonic or Hypenatremic- the loss of water

Isotonic or Isonatremic- the loss of both water and electrolytes

What do electrolytes do? Electrolytes keep us alive. They absorb fluids and stay hydrated, they also help to regulate the bodies ph and other important functions

The main electrolytes in the body are sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and chloride

If you trouble with drinking water try my top three herbal remedies. As always consult with your doctor or trusted physician before trying any remedies if you have any concerns or question. You can also always email me at humblesoul80888@gmail.com.

The Keto Diet

Hey everyone, happy Monday! Today we are learning about the famous keto diet. The ketogenic diet is a very low carb, high fat diet that shares many similarities with the Atkins and low carb diets.

What foods can you eat?

You can eat nuts, seeds, full-fat cheese and other dairy products, plain Greek yogurt, non starchy and fibrous vegetables, oils, along with smaller amounts of meats, eggs and fish, become keto diet mainstays.

You’ll need to sharply limit carbohydrates, including bread and baked goods, sweets, pasta, breakfast cereals, starchy vegetables like potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and peas, beans, fruit, and beer.

Thirsty? Reach for the water bottle, or enjoy some sparking water. Unsweetened coffee and tea also are allowed. Minimize alcohol intake; if you do drink, choose low-carb options (vodka, tequila) and soda water as a mixer.

Dose it work for weight loss?

In simpler terms the answer is yes but there are a few things you should know first.Many people have said that adhering to low- or very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets helps people lose weight. However, long term there is little difference between a keto diet and a higher carbohydrate diet.

The negative side

The keto diet could cause lower blood pressure, constipation, nutrient deficiencies, and gout. Keto is not safe for those with any conditions involving their pancreas, liver, thyroid or gallbladder.

Other potential risks of a high fat, high protein diet include:

kidney stones

hepatic steatosis (fatty liver)

hypoproteinemia, or low levels of protein in the blood

People can reduce the potential risks of the keto diet by:

ensuring that they get enough vitamins and minerals from their food

eating more healthful fats, such as olive oil, oily fish, and avocados, than saturated fats 

avoiding processed foods that contain saturated fat

reintroducing some carbohydrates slowly once they reach a moderate weight, if weight loss is their goal

🌻Keto Snacks

Seaweed

Green olives 

Moon cheese

Cucumber 

Celery

String cheese

Nut packs

Whey protein 

🌻Keto Breakfast 

Eggs

Bacon

Sausage 

Avocado 

Yogurt parfait 

Chia pudding 

Bulletproof coffee 

Keto pancakes / waffles 

Always talk to a doctor or dietitian before significantly restricting their diet in any way.

The Mediterranean diet and What you need to know?

Hey everyone, and welcome back for another informational post. Today we are learning about The Mediterranean diet. As always consult with your doctor about any changes you plan on making to your diet and be sure to tell them about any concerns you may have.

The Mediterranean diet is a generic term based on the traditional eating habits in the countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea. There’s not one standard Mediterranean diet. At least 16 countries border the Mediterranean. In 1993 Old ways created The Mediterranean Diet Pyramid in partnership with the Harvard School of Public Health and the WHO as a healthier alternative to the USDA’s original food pyramid. 

A Mediterranean-style diet typically includes:

plenty of fruits, vegetables, bread and other grains, potatoes, beans, nuts and seeds;

olive oil as a primary fat source;

dairy products, eggs, fish and poultry in low to moderate amounts; ( served only twice weekly)

infrequent servings of red meats and sweets;

How to get started?

Eat lots of vegetables ; From a simple plate of sliced fresh tomatoes drizzled with olive oil and crumbled feta cheese to stunning salads.

Change how you see meat; Have small strips of beef and smaller portions of other meats

Use good fats; Include sources of healthy fats in daily meals, especially extra-virgin olive oil, nuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, olives, and avocados.

Switch to whole grain; Whole grains are naturally rich in many important nutrients; their fuller, nuttier taste and extra fiber keep you satisfied for hours.

For dessert, eat fresh fruit; Choose from a wide range of delicious fresh fruits from fresh figs and oranges to pomegranates, grapes and apples. Instead of daily ice cream or cookies, save sweets for a special treat or celebration.

List of common foods below

Now I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t tell you about some negative reviews and effects that have been documented.

Negatives

You may gain weight from eating fats in olive oil and nuts.

You may have lower levels of iron.

You may have calcium loss from eating fewer dairy products.

Wine is a common part of a Mediterranean eating style but some people should not drink alcohol.

It’s important to always use your own judgement always. You know your body the best and what you need. Be open about your health and goals with your doctor about which diet works best for you.

Dieting Vs Mindful Eating Vs Intuitive Eating

Hi everyone, today we are gonna be talking about dieting, mindful eating and intuitive eating and how they work. Always consult a medical professional if you feel you need support with your health, both physical and mental. I personally have been practicing mindful eating because I have a problem with “eating my emotions” whenever I feel sad or upset I use to eat even when I was not hungry which is called emotional eating.

Emotional eating is eating as a way to suppress or soothe negative emotions, such as stress, anger, fear, boredom, sadness and loneliness. It is important on your healing journey to not beat yourself up no matter what happened to you as a child/ adulthood you deserve to be happy, healthy and live your best life. It is also important to eat when you are hungry. Sometimes we get so caught up in overthinking we cause more stress unknowingly. Take things one day at a time and be gentle with yourself.

A few tips that work for me are below.

Getting down to the root cause. A bad day at work or a fight with a friend are short-term issues / A long term issue may be not getting your needs met as a child / Ask why you’re eating / Swap out your unhealthy snacks (but do not overthink it if you want to eat a cheeseburger then do it and do not beat yourself up about it) / Choose foods that fight stress(goji berries, chamomile tea, lavender tea) / Make emergency packages (pre-portion snacks such as nuts, popcorn or sliced veggies into baggies or containers. Consider these your emergency snack packages or just your healthy snack options on an ongoing basis.)

Consider your eating habits: how you ate? did you eat slowly?/why you ate? were you hungry? /what you ate? /when you ate? /where you ate? /how much you ate? Keeping a food journal may help as well.

If you feel you having trouble with your eating habits or stress levels please talk to your doctor or trusted physician.

Mindful eating (i.e., paying attention to our food, on purpose, moment by moment, without judgment) is an approach to food that focuses on individuals’ sensual awareness of the food and their experience of the food. Mindful eating takes practice. Try to eat more slowly, chew thoroughly, remove distractions, and stop eating when you’re full.

Mindful Eating

Trust
Self empowerment
Internal cues
Health enhancement
Acceptance
Integration
Quality calories
Flexible
Satisfaction
Lifestyle

Intuitive Eating is an anti-diet, weight- inclusive model and is aligned with the Health at Every Size movement. Unlike Mindful Eating, IE includes physical activity, body respect, rejecting the diet mentality and using nutrition principles, but without judgment, to help with food decisions and wellbeing.

It should be known that Intuitive Eating is an evidenced-based, mind-body health approach, comprised of 10 Principles and created by two dietitians, Evelyn Tribole and Elyse Resch in 1995. It is also important to know intuitive eating weight loss can happen. However, you could also gain weight or simply maintain your weight. A good blog post to check out for more information is https://www.self.com/story/intuitive-eating-myths .

Dieting is the practice of eating food in a regulated way to decrease, maintain, or increase body weight, or to prevent and treat diseases such as diabetes and obesity. Eating a variety of foods and consuming less salt, sugars and saturated and industrially-produced trans-fats, are essential for healthy diet. Biologically, “dieting” can lead to unhealthy changes in body composition, hormonal changes, reduced bone density, menstrual disturbances, and lower resting energy expenditure. It is important to know that everyones body is different and it is always best to find what works for you.

Dieting 🥗

Willpower
Cultural Conformity
External cues
Weight loss
Avoidance
Rigid
Counting calories
Restrictive
Denial
Quick fix

A balanced diet is a diet that contains differing kinds of foods in certain quantities and proportions so that the requirement for calories, proteins, minerals, vitamins and alternative nutrients is adequate and a small provision is reserved for additional nutrients to endure the short length of leanness. There are seven essential factors for a balanced diet: carbs, protein, fat, fibre, vitamins, minerals and water.

I am not my illness

I am not my illness

A series about “diseases” /“chronic illnesses” and everything in between. Today I had the honor of speaking with Kenzie who has a condition called Wilson’s disease. Wilson’s disease is a genetic mutation that affects copper metabolism. Copper isn’t eliminated properly and instead accumulates, possibly to a life-threatening level. Symptoms typically begin between the ages of 12 and 23.

Please remember I am not a doctor just a certified herbalist, juice specialist and death doula in training trying to help the world heal and bring awareness to the many different “illnesses” we have on this planet.

If you would like to be interviewed or know someone please feel free to send me a message.

Would you like to use your real or fake name?

You can use my name, kenzie (:

Where are you from?

I am from McKinney Texas

When were you diagnosed?

February of 2022 right after my 22nd birthday. The craziest part is I remember that whole month my family and I had prayed for a diagnosis as a birthday miracle.

how old were you?

I was 22 years old when I was diagnosed

How long did it take you to be diagnosed?

I had had symptoms almost my entire life and spent over a decade looking for answers. I was dismissed by many doctors and even had some make horribly unprofessional comments such as calling me a “hopeless case” to my face at only 12 years old. One Gastroenterologist told me to “come back when I gained weight”, when I had come to him complaining of nausea, vomiting and weight loss as my main symptoms. He then refused to let me come back to see him or anyone else in the (very large) gastroenterology practice he was a part of, forcing us to seek out a new doctor at an entirely different hospital with no referral. Another physician once suggested my symptoms may just be “a load of B.S.” All of these were cases where doctors made a judgment before I had hardly had time to utter a word. They saw a young female patient and heard the words “mystery illness” and that was all it took for them to make up their mind about me. After many years, I decided I had to my own research and was able to narrow it down to what I thought may be the problem. With the help of an exceptional neurologist I was able to confirm that I have a rare genetic disease.

Symptoms you’ve experienced

I have had chronic pain, headaches, problems with my joints, hyper-mobility, GI issues, seizures, full body dystonia (this is a type of movement disorder that causes involuntarily twisting movements and muscle contractions), serious vision and balance loss, cognitive issues, memory loss, hormonal disruption, POTs and dysautonomia

What do you take for pain/nausea etc?

Currently I don’t take anything because I have found that for me personally, a lot of pain and nausea meds make my GI symptoms worse and I feel like it just perpetuates the problem

How has endometriosis / pcos/adenomyosis impacted your personal life?

If you do not see your diagnosis listed above please write it below!

I have a condition called Wilson’s disease. It’s a genetic mutation that affects copper metabolism. Basically I am not able to eliminate copper from my body so it accumulates, becomes toxic, and damages my organs. It can affect different people in different ways but my case has most severely impacted my brain and spine, so many of my symptoms are neurological.

My symptoms, like the dystonia, can be very noticeable and I’ve struggled with feeling embarrassed or like I should be trying to hide it. It’s been very hard to find a sense of community and I have yet to find anyone else who has experienced something similar. I’ve gotten a lot of weird looks and people have even laughed out loud at me before. I sometimes use an ID cane because of my vision loss, which also draws a lot of unwanted attention. Even though it helps me a lot, I avoid using it as much as I can get away with out of fear. I have found that I get approached much more often by predators when I have my cane because they see it as a sign of vulnerability. Because of all of this, I don’t go out a lot and have ended up pretty isolated.

What type of diet do you follow?

I eat a high protein vegetarian diet that’s low in copper

What’s a taboo that you wish was talked about more?

Depression/anxiety caused by medical problems. I feel like when people suspect that a person with medical challenges may be struggling emotionally they are more likely to assume the physical symptoms are a result of psychological problems. Its not uncommon to be accused of being dramatic or faking your suffering for attention. But, far from being “dramatic” I have put so much time and energy into trying to hide the fact that I’m disabled. I downplay it as much as possible. I only go out on the days my symptoms are at their least noticeable. I want very badly to just be normal and blend in.  

I wish people understood that depression and anxiety are often a byproduct of chronic illness. Medical problems can be severely life disrupting and factors such as constant pain, isolation, rejection, and lack of freedom are bound to cause emotional distress. It’s a natural response to a terrible situation that no one should ever have to experience. Regardless of the cause though, mental health challenges shouldn’t be anything shameful and are never the person suffering’s fault. I wish people with chronic illness were free to talk about the emotional impact of living with a health condition or disability without people using that to try to invalidate their pain.

Any other comments or questions. What would like the world to know ?

I spent over ten years being told by doctors that I should give up, or that it was “all in my head”. I couldn’t believe that doctors, the people who were supposed to be on my side fighting for me, would say these things. It was so discouraging, I eventually started wondering if maybe they were right and I really was crazy. After all, how would you know for sure? It left me feeling terrified about my future and I lost hope that I would ever recover. But despite that I kept going, I kept searching, and it saved my life. It turns out the condition I have is just incredibly rare. It was a long and grueling road but I will be eternally grateful that I stuck with it and my advice to anyone experiencing something similar is to KEEP GOING no matter what happens and no matter what anyone says to you. Your life and health are worth it.

Thank you!

Kenzie E.
