Start the Day with a Lemon Drop

 June 6, 2021

Water Cropped

I love when simple things can have an impact on Being Well. Well, this one thing is about as simple as you can get! I’m talking about drinking lemon water every single day. Simple, right?!?

Drinking lemon water has great benefits for your health:

  1. The simplest reason is that it tastes good. Plain water (hopefully you are filtering as much as possible to get the chlorine, fluoride, etc. out) tastes kinda bland but a drop of Lemon Vitality Essential Oil or the juice of half a lemon will brighten that right up!
  2. Lemon juice or Lemon Vitality Essential Oil is great for adding a bit of Vitamin C to your daily regimen. Vitamin C is an antioxidant and promotes your own immunity. That is so important these days!
  3. Lemon water consumed every morning can help your digestion move smoothly. Some people even use it to keep from getting blocked up!
  4. I think the most important reason is just to get more water in every single day. If a little lemony flavor helps, then by all means drink away!

Here’s how I drink mine every morning:

  1. I use my tea kettle to add a few inches of hot water to my glass then add cold filtered water to the glass to cool the water to warm.
  2. I add 1-2 drops of Lemon Vitality Essential Oil (I try for one but I seem to always get 2).
  3. Drink it down!

Yep, that’s it! I do this every morning before I do anything else to make sure I don’t forget and to get the most benefits. I’d love to hear how the Lemon Water helps you.

BTW, I only use high-quality essential oils from Young Living since they have their Seed to Seal Promise (seedtoseal.com to learn more. To get started with these awesome oils, email me at susan@susanchilcoat.com or message me on FB.

Go Natural for Wellness!

 February 11, 2021

Gems Sm

Many times in the modern world of today, we discount what natural herbs and medicines can do for us. But that would be discounting the power of nature and what these God-given elements can do for us.

You don’t have to go whole-hog and start foraging tomorrow. It is much easier to start small and be strategic about what you need for your overall wellness. I suggest starting by supporting your natural immunity first with items that can be readily available to you.

I am sharing what we do/take in our family every single day to support our whole body in a natural way.

1. Ningxia Red – this antioxident drink is the first thing we down in the morning. 2 oz. makes a big difference in taming those free radicals that can make you sick.

2. Great Day Protocol – we use the oil blends Valor, Harmony, Joy, and White Angelica in a very specific way to raise our frequencies and support our emotional health. Find out more about the Great Day Protocol here.

3. Super Vitamin C – We all know that Vitamin C supports our health but add essential oils to it and our body absorbs it so much more!

4. Blue Ice Royal Blend – This blend of fermented cod liver oil and concentrated butter oil do so many things for you from heart health to stronger teeth. We all take 2 of those every day. We get ours here.

5. Sulferzyme – this supplement is a powerhouse protecting cells, muscles, connective tissue, etc. It also helps to support immunity. It has helped my hair and nails to be stronger and longer too!

With this list, you can easily improve your health naturally so that when your body is put through any kind of stress, you are much better able to fight it off or heal through it.

If you have questions about any one of these items, please message or email!

Soaked Oatmeal

Easy Soaked Oatmeal Recipe

It’s so important to start the day off in a healthy way. That means a yummy nutritious breakfast.

One option is Soaked Oatmeal. The soaking is the important part. Oatmeal, like many grains, has an outer coating that makes it hard to digest and to get all the nutrients possible. However, if you just slightly prepare the oatmeal by fermenting it overnight, you can break down that coating and allow your kiddos gut to take in all the nutrition available.
It’s really easy!
• Simply pour a cup of oatmeal in a bowl and add enough water to cover the oatmeal.
• Next add a tablespoon of either apple cider vinegar, yogurt, or lemon juice to the bowl.
• Lightly cover and leave out on the counter overnight.
• In the morning, drain and rinse the oats.
• Add milk to a pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
• Immediately turn down the heat and add other ingredients you might like such as cinnamon, nuts of your choice, raisins, etc.
• Stir and keep heating until the oatmeal is as thick as you would like.
• Serve with yogurt, milk, or on its own. You can sweeten with some maple syrup, honey, stevia, or xylitol.
• If you like blueberries, strawberries, or apples, etc. this is the time to add them. Stir them in and enjoy.
What will you put in your soaked oatmeal?
