Message from Bernadette Wulf

Greetings!

Here we are in the “holiday season” again. Maybe that thrills you, or maybe it feels like a dark storm looming over the next two months – or something in between.

Either way, the holidays usually mean more expenses and often a lot more stress. How will you counteract the drain on your energy and finances?

Align with Your Affluence!

I love the word Affluence, because it means flow – flow of money, flow of health, flow of love and all good things.

Are you living your most affluent life possible?

Probably not. Most of us could use an affluence boost – and some of us need to shift our entire belief system about what is possible for us.

That’s why I was inspired to create this “affluence alignment” program – Six Weeks of Group Coaching Focused on Aligning with Your Affluence.

I’ve participated in several events like this in the past and they have never failed to get my affluence flowing. It’s going to happen soon – before the holidays.

So keep an eye on your inbox. More info. coming your way in the next few days!

This month I got way behind on my newsletter, but better late than never, right?

By coincidence, all the articles are focused on antioxidants, those little helpers that eat up free radicals and clear the fat out of your liver.

Purple Antioxidant Foods

Here are some of the best antioxidant-rich foods for your daily diet:

• Black Elderberries— Elderberries have well-known immune-boosting properties.
• Black Currants— You may want to consider finding or growing these berries, since they are one of the richest fruits in anthocyanins.
• Blackberries and Black Raspberries— With their deep purple-black color, it’s no surprise that these berries contain good amounts of anthocyanins.
• Black Rice—  Black rice bran even rivals blueberries for antioxidant content and is less expensive.
• Blueberries— Do note that wild-grown blueberries tend to be [a lot – ed.] higher in antioxidants than [the common commercial type – ed.} ones.
• Black Beans— The seed coat of black beans is very rich in health-boosting anthocyanins.
• Plums— Most plums contain anthocyanins, but opt for the dark purple varieties to get the greatest amount.
• Bilberries— Bilberries are one of the richest natural sources of anthocyanins, but they are down on the list because you won’t typically find them in a grocery store.
• Eggplant— Again, most of these antioxidants are concentrated in the skin, so be sure to leave it on.
• Red Cabbage— Studies show that this brassica has over 20 different anthocyanins, not to mention cancer-fighting properties.

Heal Your Liver with Ginger!

Fatty liver disease is running rampant in our Western society – yet many people don’t even know they have it.

High fat diets, especially diets like Keto and Paleo that emphasize lots of fatty animal products are the culprit, and of course all the popular fast foods like burgers, pizzas and fries.

You can’t expect a spoonful of ginger to counteract a constant diet of fatty foods, but if you are willing to cut your fats way back, ginger can help reverse the damage.

According to studies reported by Dr. Greger of Nutritionfacts.org:

Daily consumption of just one teaspoon of [dried] ground ginger a day “resulted in a significant decrease in inflammatory marker levels,” improvements in liver function tests, and a drop in liver fat. All for five cents’ worth of ginger powder a day.

DIY Garam Masala Spice Blend Recipe

I only recently discovered the delicious complexity that Garam Masala can add to a dish. It is one of the not-so-secret ingredients that gives Indian food it’s characteristic flavor. Be warned, though – a little goes a long way.

Garam masala is full of potent antioxidant spices, so a great addition to your diet.

Here’s how you can make your own.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon ground cumin
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
1 ½ teaspoons ground cardamom
1 ½ teaspoons ground black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg

Instructions:

1.  Mix cumin, coriander, cardamom, pepper, cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg in a bowl.

2. Transfer the mixture to an airtight container, and store in a cool, dry place.

*Note: For a more pungent and flavorful blend, you can dry roast the cumin, coriander, cardamom and black peppercorns, then grind them in a coffee or spice grinder.
