Catching up
This December saw the launch of the South African version of “Perfect Health – the Natural Way” This is the book that replaces the original Natural Way, with a whole lot of new recipes, new information and includes the reasons and back ground to The Natural Way 5 steps.
This is also the book you MUST have for the 100 days to health.
Then I spent 2 weeks filming a new DVD series which works through Perfect Health , chapter by chapter. This should be edited and ready by end of February (hopefully sooner for the workshop in Johannesburg on & Feb!)
That gets me to the next thing!

Important stuff
Well by now you are all back at work, your kids or grand kids are back and school and hopefully you have your space to yourself as all the visitors have left, or you are back from your holidays and hopefully they were good, but you are left with a sluggish brain, stomach and metabolism. If you are wanting to kick-start yourself to new heights of health then read on.
Drastic detox after the holidays
OK, so you feel like you can never get back on track and your health is lost forever! Here are some tips and guidelines for getting back on track with your health.
1. If you prefer a slower more permanent change then log onto www.100daystohealth.com for a free on line day by day program with recipes and tips and encouragement for 100 days. There is no catch but you will facilitate and aid your progress the most by making sure you have our book “Perfect Health – the natural way”, BarleyLife , Aimega and our organic salts. email info@mary-anns if you need help with this
2. If you have completed the 100 days program, repeating the program helps you get on track, but if you want do to something drastic to make a quick change to turbo boost your health, then follow these guidelines below.
3. Day 1 – 1 day digestive rest
Get up make your self a large glass of freshly extracted wheat grass or barley grass juice. Barley grass juice is at least 2 x more nutritious than wheat grass so you can have less and if you prefer you can use the dried barley grass juices from Aim called barleyLife. (We do as it is cheaper and so much more convenient than making your own!)
Go for a 10 minute walk to the corner and then turn around and walk back to make 20 minutes. Be sure to walk briskly but do not become so tired that you cannot talk or breath comfortably.
10-11am
Another glass of barley grass juice – you may have some fresh or dried carrot and or apple juice with this.
1-2pm repeat the juices above
3.30pm – 5 pm repeat juices
If you can manage, have the juices again for supper and go to bed before 9am and read in bed if you cannot fall asleep.
If you cannot go any further without eating then choose 1 of the following;
Either up to 4 pieces of fresh fruit
OR
A large dinner plate of fresh salad use some organic herb salt and a little olive oil if need be.
Day 2
Get up and have your green juice again (BarleyLife or other green leaves) This time include 4-6 Aimega capsules from Aim (the BarleyLife people) or 1- 2 Tbsp of a flax oil blend
Go for your walk
Make a smoothie when you get back consisting of;
a tight handful of raw nuts like cashews or almonds or seeds per person (sesame seed paste called tahini is also great)
some fresh pineapple or apples or mangoes or pears or a combination
Add a handful of fresh or frozen berries as an option
Add fresh orange or apple juice and or Ceres or Liquifruit mango and Orange/apple juice
Take in a bottle in the car if in a hurry or sit quietly and sip your tall glass (OK you can also do this while you work if you MUST!)
10-11am
Have 1-2 pieces fresh fruit
1-2pm
Have a large plate of fruit salad or fresh vegetable salad. You can just eat a cucumber if you like, but make sure it will fill 1-2 cupped handfuls. (OK so you don’t actually have to fill your hands but it gives you an idea of the quantities that eat person needs to eat)
You can include a small handful of sunflower seeds or raisins with either
3pm 1 glass barley grass (BarleyLife) juice
3.30pm-5pm
1-2 pieces fresh fruit
Dinner
6-7.30pm (do not eat after 8pm)
Repeat as for lunch with either option but now you can include;
1-3 cups of steamed neutral vegetables (see food combining chart at back of Perfect Health book)
