This morning I watched a couple of very ... different... breathing techniques on the YouTube Bootcamp channel (day 8, C I think). There was humming, PUHing, pointing and more. All of the different exercises were done with an open mouthed, pursed lips breathing. Having Sjogren's and being extremely dry, it didn't work so well for me. I think it's aimed at people whose lungs produce lots of phlegm. 🤮 We worked for an hour or so covering tender plants as it is supposed to be freezing tonight, and then went to the grocery store. I counted that as enough for me. I need a day of rest from walking. For the first time in ages/years, I made my morning smoothie. I drank this religiously for about 6 years before I somehow wandered away from it. I tried to find my picture of it, but alas it has disappeared so I had to find a royalty free image. Here's the recipe: MY SMOOTHIE For my 72 oz. Blender: INGREDIENTS:
NOTES:
You can experiment and use different fruits depending on your body’s needs. This combination was based on my research for my Sjogren’s, RA, fibromyalgia, and chronic fatigue symptoms. I am incorporating the best raw “super” foods for me. I cannot tolerate any artificial or “new” sugar substitutes, like stevia, guava, and so on, which means no flavored protein powder for me (most times I don't even use it). If it has flavor, it has sweeteners. I have to make sure my protein powder has nothing like that in it. I find I don’t need or miss added sweetness, in fact after putting honey in there once, it was cloying. I’ve tried adding beets (if you try this, use only a tiny amount, blech), tomato (horrid), and other greens (bitter, unhappy tastes).
