Meet Elaine and Nevin GibsonI Beat Stage IV Cancer!

My (Elaine’s) journey was paved with misinformation by many well intentioned profession-

als. In the end, I had to find my own way to disease prevention

and optimum health. Today, I am enjoying a cancer- free life,

with a renewed optimism and a renewed commitment to help

others overcome and avoid what I had to go through.

Elaine is a Raw Food Educator, Chef and Cancer Victor

Nevin & Elaine are Green Technology Specialists and have 12 grandchildren.




IntroductionWhen we take care of ourselves little by little, every day — no matter what our age —

we can live fuller and more joyful lives. These small but significant changes in our lives

eventually add up to big improvements.

How well can you serve others if you are emotionally or physically tapped, nutritionally

and hormonally imbalanced, ill or just plain worn out?

My holiday advice is simple...

admit that you are the engine that’s pulling the train

and allow yourself the time to learn how to refuel.

Right now, today, in the midst of this holiday crunch,

decide that you will help and love others best

by giving yourself and your health

a place at the table.




Knowledge is PowerWhether you want to lose weight, have more energy or find relief from aches, pains or

even chronic illness, the mouth watering recipes and knowledge you will learn here will

help you achieve all this, and more.

If you’ve tried all the different diets, detoxes and healthy advice from the “experts”

and still feel awful, it’s a miserable place to be. I know – I’ve been there.

I never fully understood or appreciated the concept of alkalinity until I entered my health

journey in March 2008. In 2001 I had a brief encounter with early-stage non-Hodgkin’s

lymphoma. All was good... so I thought. Alkalinity never came up. In February 2008 it

returned with a vengeance. Stave IV! I thought I was leading a healthy lifestyle. It was

time to learn more.

Here is what I learned...The food we eat the water we drink and even the air we breathe can throw off our

body’s natural balance, interfere with our health and accelerate the aging process.

All roads to health and vitality are paved with an optimum pH balance.

This means the proper balance of alkalinity and oxygen for the cells,

blood and tissues:

Oxygenated cells which are the foundation of health and the basis for a life free.

Oxygenated cells strengthen our ability to prevent illness, preserve vitality and maintain youth.

Once you understand this basic truth you are ready to take complete control.

Renewed Living is here to help you do just that.

Let’s Get AlkalineEvery day I ask one question, how keep my body alkaline and filled with oxygen?

Strive for 80% alkaline and up your raw foods.

construct a strong foundation of an extraordinary

lifestyle by incorporating small incremental steps

as we move forward.

Alkalinity is the one and only thing that can create total balance in our body.

It’s all about choices. You can control your health by making simple lifestyle choices.

I learned to make better choices step by step and day by day. Soon I felt so good,

you could catch me singing!

7 Most Alkaline FoodsIn many ways, staying healthy and preventing disease is about making smart

preventative choices. Living well helps increase the strength of your natural

immune system and can help your body fight off sickness and damage. Having

a good diet is an integral part of staying healthy, energetic and young!

• Spinach – Spinach has some of the highest alkaline

concentration out of any food on Earth. Above and

beyond this, it has close to a dozen other vitamins that

are extremely important for the functioning of your body,

including vitamins K, A, B2, E, magnesium, iron, dietary

fiber, and more. It also has high concentrations of

chlorophyll; recent studies seem to indicate that this substance acts as an antioxidant and

is beneficial to ingest on a regular basis. Spinach also happens to be delicious and easily

available at grocery stores everywhere, and there are a ton of recipes you can use it in.

• Kale – Number two on our list of high alkaline foods

is kale. Like spinach, this is another large, leafy green,

which is not a coincidence. You will again find tons of

antioxidants and chlorophyll, just like with spinach. One

particular advantage Kale brings to the table is that it

contains at least 4 cancer-fighting agents, called gluco-

sinolates. Kale is also great for those who are on a program to treat their cholesterol;

steamed Kale is one of the best foods for those with cholesterol issues. Kale is

slightly less popular than spinach, but this is usually because people overcook

it; it is truly a delicious vegetable when prepared properly however.




• Cucumbers – Cucumbers are the best choice for

those who are looking to detoxify and purify their systems

as well as add alkalines; this is because these vegetables

are upwards of 95% water. Because they are so incredibly

hydrating, they also carry chemical compounds that you

do not often find in other foods such as lignans. Lignans

have been linked to reduced risk of heart disease and cancer. Another popular use of

cucumbers is as the base for many types of vegetable soup, as well as smoothies and

juices. It provides a great tasting base juice that mixes easily with almost anything else.

• Broccoli – While definitely high in alkalines, broccoli

has some of the best across the board general nutrition of

any food. Containing substantial portions of a healthy daily

dose of close to two dozen different vitamins and minerals,

a growing number of nutritionists and savvy cooks are

trying to work broccoli in to the daily diet of their clients.

This shouldn’t be that difficult, because broccoli is immensely versatile as a food. It is deli-

cious raw, steamed, cooked, or added to almost any other food – you can even roast it.




• Avocados – Avocado is another food that is probably

wouldn’t hurt to work into your daily diet. It gets a lot of

bad press because of its high fat content, but what most

people don’t realize is that these are ‘good’ fats, which

won’t really make you gain weight. Think of it like ‘good’

and ‘bad’ cholesterol; same principle. Avocado makes the

list because not only is it super-high in alkaline content and antioxidants, but it also has

more oleic acid than probably any other food. This compound promotes your metabolism,

helps fight bad cholesterol, and reduces the risk of heart disease.

• Celery – This is another food similar to cucumber, in

that it has a very high water content. You’ll find it used

more often as a juice and soup base than as a smoothie

because of the higher cellulose content. Celery is of course

loaded with alkalines but also surprisingly high in vitamin

C as well as compounds referred to as phthalides and

coumarins; again agents that inhibit cancer and improve heart health (a common

theme among all alkaline-heavy foods in case you haven’t noticed by now).

• Bell Peppers – Bell peppers are some of the

tastiest foods on this list, and also some of the highest

in different types of antioxidant families. They contain

literally dozens of distinct antioxidant compounds,

including some of the most complex ones in existence.

Bell peppers have over thirty different carotenoids

present, for example. They also have twice as much vitamin C as the

typical orange does.




Stay Hydrated

11




Stay HydratedWater is the single most important nutrient for our bodies.

Water is involved in every function of our bodies.

Water is the major ingredient in all liquids in our bodies.

Water helps carry nutrients and oxygen TO our cells and waste FROM our cells.

Water is essential for good health. Your cells, tissues

and organs require water to perform correctly. This

occurs when you are hydrated!!

Breathing, sweating and elimination all contribute to a loss of water each day.

Dehydration occurs when the amount of water leaving the body is greater than

the amount being taken in.

At birth we are approximately 95% water by weight.

As we age we become about 50% water by weight.

Symptoms of Dehydration May Include

Headache Dry, sticky mouth

Heartburn Sleepiness or tiredness —

Back pain children are likely to be less

Thirst active than usual

Decreased urine output Hunger

Dry skin




Most people drink nowhere near enough

water and the water they do drink is

oxidizing, acid (low pH) and contributes to

premature aging. This has been proven in

thousands of clinical cases. Today, acidity

abounds due to improper eating and drinking

habits. This acidity sets the stage for almost

every illness you can name. You will be

amazed at the health goals you can achieve

when acidity is no longer ruling your body.

In the area of taking small incremental steps

that have an effect on the bigger picture of bringing you closer to an alkaline body, drinking

alkaline, antioxidant, ionized water is the easiest and, in my opinion, the most crucial step.

If you have not yet discovers alkaline water then use spring water rather than reverse

osmosis. Strive for ½ your body weight in ounces of water daily. Be sure to add

this to your menu planner.

I will begin drinking

more good water

and add to my

menu planner on: ______________________________________




Drink Green Juice

14




Drink Green JuiceGreen juices carry oxygen throughout your body, oxygenating every cell and tissue, facili-

tating an oxygen-rich environment, providing the playground for healing and health.

Consider green juice your new BFF!

Green juice is one of the most nutrient rich raw food

recipes that you can use to supercharge your body and

get the total amount of servings of vegetables that you

need in each day.

Drinking green juice regularly will not only help to give

you energy and give your body added nutrients to boost

your immune system, but when you drink green juice

on a regular basis you can actually start to work on disease prevention for your body. This

is because with all of the nutrients in green juice, your body will be ready to take on any

challenge and you will be healthier than you have ever been before.

Perhaps one of the biggest benefits to green juice is that it increases alkalinity.

Green juice is becoming one of the most popular raw food recipes for helping our bodies

increase the amount of alkaline and to balance our overall body pH which can help to give

us more energy as well as help with disease prevention. One of the best ways that you can

absorb these rich nutrients is through juicing. This means that you can get more nutrients

packed into a glass of green juice then you would into a green juice smoothie that you

would make in a blender. This method is far quicker than you actually eating raw

vegetables or even blended vegetables because your body simply doesn’t need

to break down the nutrients to absorb it. This is the main benefit to juicing.




Yes I will admit it here... I am a total juiceaholic!

3 months into green juicing, I had lost 12 pounds and 2 sizes.

I thought I was really hot!

6 months into green juicing I had lost 20 pounds and 4 sizes.

Today I am 28 pounds lighter, 4-5 sized smaller, have

more energy than I could ever imagine and find myself

singing all day long. I feel as if I have woken up from

a deep sleep.

Personally, I believe that learning to add green juice in your menu plan is one of

the top most significant gifts you can give yourself and those you love.

As you spend more time with us here at Renewed Living, you will learn additional

information about this life changing action called green juice. It is a priority of our beliefs

and you will want to give it serious consideration. Truth be told, I actually prepare two

days worth of green juice at a time and store it in a glass mason jar with lemon.

Be sure to check out www.renewedlivinginc.com and review Green Juice 101

on the home page to get started.

I will check out Green Juice 101

at www.renewedlivinginc.com and

Start Your Day

17




Start Your DayEach morning I begin my day with a

cup of warm alkaline water with

lemon and cayenne pepper.

Even the picture is comforting and

makes me feel fantastic! Our bodies

recognize this combination as a

champion at stimulating the digestive

system, increasing hydration, helping with cleansing and detoxing, supporting your

immune system, increasing alkalinity, reducing stomach bloat and weight loss.

Between 4am and noon is when the body attempts to get rid of all of the by products

and leftovers created digesting and absorbing the food you ate the previous day.

Making sure this process completes smoothly is critical, because wastes that remain

begin to grow toxic to your system the longer they remain in your body. Disruption of

this cycle is the most common cause of metabolic and digestive issues that people

This tip is one of the easiest and most powerful enhancements you can make.

As someone who is always thinking about their immune system and how to

stay alkaline, this is a true home run. Some changes are harder than others to

incorporate but not this one. Your body will thank you.

I will begin having warm

water with lemon and

cayenne pepper on: _____________________________________




Become aSecret Santa

19




Become a Secret SantaThere are so many ingredients and super foods being discussed today that it can be challeng-

ing to figure out where to begin. Here are a few of my favorite choices to get you started:

Kelp

Kelp is among the most highly praised sea vegetables, mainly

because of its nutrients and content of proteins, which is

comparable in quality to the protein found in foods of animal

origin. This brown sea vegetable is able to help in the detoxi-

fication process because it has algin (sodium alginate) in its

composition. Algin will help eliminate any radioactive particles or

heavy metals that your body has made contact with. In addition,

kelp will: improve digestion, promote adrenal, pituitary and

thyroid health, purify the blood, and relieve arthritis symptoms.

Turmeric

Turmeric is a plant. You may know turmeric as the main spice

in curry. It has a warm, bitter taste and is frequently used to

flavor or color curry powders, mustards, butters, and cheeses.

But the root of turmeric is also used widely to make medicine.

Turmeric is used for arthritis, heartburn (dyspepsia), stomach

pain, diarrhea, intestinal gas, stomach bloating, loss of appetite,

jaundice, liver problems and gallbladder disorders. It is also used

for headaches, bronchitis, colds, lung infections, fibromyalgia,

leprosy, fever, menstrual problems, and cancer. Other uses include depression,

Alzheimer’s disease, water retention, worms, and kidney problems.




Cacao

Cacao is a type of tropical tree, part of the evergreen family

that produces the world’s chocolate in raw form, before fat,

sugar, and other “sweeteners” are added. Cacao is not added

to dark chocolate; it actually is chocolate! Cacao is packed with

vitamins and antioxidants that make it almost a super food or

natural Multi-Vitamin! The beneficial ingredients found in the

Cacao nibs (raw chocolate) are antioxidants, essential minerals

and vitamins.

Ginger

Ginger is an herb. The rhizome (underground stem) is used as

a spice and also as a medicine. It can be used fresh, dried and

powdered, or as a juice or oil. Ginger is commonly used to treat

various types of “stomach problems,” including motion sickness,

morning sickness, colic, upset stomach, gas, diarrhea, nausea

caused by cancer treatment, nausea and vomiting after surgery,

as well as loss of appetite.

Enter Secret Santa!Shhhhhh, it is a secret but I add kelp, turmeric and ginger to many of my recipes and

never tell anyone! Yes, it is so easy and feels great knowing I am helping my friends

and family. I add kelp and turmeric to salads, salad dressing, sauces, dips,

entrees and even desserts. Ginger goes in all my juices and smoothies.




The easiest way to develop this habit is to start with a couple of these ingredients and

experiment with a couple of new recipes. You could even put this on your menu planner.

The first 2 ingredients I will secretly add are:

1. ___________________________________________________________

2. ___________________________________________________________

The first 2 recipes I will use are: 1. ___________________________________________________________
