I am pleased to have the opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Rika Susan and I am writing this from my home-office in sunny South Africa's Western Cape.
I specialize in the health, nutrition and fitness fields. My favorite health topic is how juicing can help us to get the maximum benefit from fruits and vegetables. I simply love jazzy recipes for juicers and vegetable juicing information.
In addition, I share a variety of easy tips about general healthy nutrition, such as lowering cholesterol. I have written a number of e-books, including 'Juicing For Health - 35 FAQ's Answered' and '24 Quick And Easy Weight Loss Tips'.
My interest in and research about healthy nutrition began many years ago, when I was diagnosed with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis or ME. I have been living with the illness for almost 32 years now.
Although I am housebound to a large extent as a result of the ME, I feel extremely privileged to be able to reach beyond my physical boundaries with the help of the Internet. This is such an amazing tool, expanding the world of people with specific physical limitations and challenges! It is possible to make friends all over the world, without moving from the comfort of an easy chair!
I have had to make peace with massive losses, as a result of the effects of the ME. However, I have chosen to look at my journey as a growth-experience. Although it isn't easy to live with a chronic illness, five factors serve as footholds for me. For me the ME has been a teacher in countless ways. I firmly believe that, while we can't always control what happens to us, we can always choose how we are going to react to a given circumstance. And I choose to learn from the ME. It has made me a better person in many respects.
1. Faith
My strong faith is first and foremost; the one constant presence that carries me through every day, no matter how many challenges present themselves. I am grateful that this illness has kept me very close to my Creator. I can't rely on my own strength for one single day, because it just isn't there. I experience that as a privilege.
2. Family
I cannot imagine coping without my supportive family. My dad is a retired minister, and he and my mom have been there for me through all the most challenging years, always displaying caring and patient spirits. My brothers also support me wonderfully. In addition I have the precious gifts of loving, laughter-generating god-children and loyal friends.
3. Positive Mindset
The fourth important factor is working on retaining optimism and developing a positive mindset. That this aspect should get attention each and every day, is non-negotiable. I make sure I am in a positive frame of mind before I go to sleep every night, no matter how exhausted I am. I do this by reading something uplifting, listening to an inspirational book on cassette, or enjoying a beautiful music CD. That enables me to wake up feeling positive, and looking forward to a new day. As they say, it is the thought that counts!
I firmly believe that being disciplined about this practice, contributes significantly to the fact that I don't struggle with depression - a very real challenge for many people with ME.
4. Humor
Being able to laugh and to focus on the lighter side of life, isn't just important to make things easier for myself and the people around me. It has been shown to have real physiological benefits as far as the release of pain-relieving endorphins and other helpful hormones are concerned. Without a doubt, this has healing implications!
5. Personal Care And Grooming
The fifth important factor is that I try to take good care of myself, and this is where healthy nutrition comes in. With an illness like ME, all the basic stuff involves such an effort that it is easy to slowly begin to neglect oneself. Because of the inactivity brought about by the illness, it is easy to give up as far as weight management and personal grooming is concerned.
I believe that it is vital for anyone with a chronic illness to take personal care seriously. If you don't have the energy to do this, get help with it. But to keep morale up, the importance of this aspect should never be underestimated.
For me, my vegetable juicer is one way of ensuring that I get all the nutrients my body needs, especially when I am not feeling like eating. It also gives my digestive system a break when it isn't functioning as it should be. At my website you can download free recipes for juicing and join the juicing community. You will discover why it is so important to incorporate using a juice extractor into your daily diet and nutrition program. If you are struggling with your weight, extra exercise is important. But juicing deserves a place in any healthy, natural weight loss plan. Juicing for weight loss has a whole host of benefits compared to a water fast!
