IonizeMe Ionic Detox Footbath Giveaway!

​Fall is in the air, and much like Spring-time it's a perfect occasion to clean and detox everything for the upcoming change in seasons. There is something special about a new season, especially Autumn, because it means that the holidays are not far behind. I'm also really looking forward to a cooling of temps and all the beautiful fall foliage to come! 

This also felt like the perfect time for a Fall Giveaway, and the wonderful people at HEALTHandMED have very generously donated anIonizeMe Ionic Detox Footbath (MSRP: $295). I'm working together with them to give one of you a Footpath of your own! If you aren't familiar with how an Ionic Footbath works it essentially
generates a stream of positive and negative ions which attract and attach themselves to toxic particles within the body. The ions help detox on a cellular level, much like how a magnet works. This is a wonderful tool to have in your arsenal for pretty much any kind of chronic health issue, and because it uses gentle ions it's very safe to use! Read on to see the Giveaway at the end of this post! 

From the HEALTHandMED Website:

The unique properties of negative ions in the foot bath machine cause water to be ionized and split into H+ and OH– ions (and sometimes into H3O+ and H2O2 ions), which then enter the body through the 4,000 large pores of the feet while the foot detox machine is in operation. The ions produced by the ion foot detox machine are transported throughout the body by the circulatory and lymphatic systems, neutralizing oppositely charged toxins in the cells that are normally slow to exit the body. The body’s organs become energized and stimulated to function optimally, allowing the body to better rid itself of these toxins through its normal processes of urination, defecation and perspiration.

I was so grateful to HEALTHandMED, and I wanted to share more about what they offer & who they are as a company. HEALTHandMed was founded in 2007 by Mark Axelson, who wanted to create a site where customers could find a variety of health & wellness items with the added courtesy of on-site customer service and pricing they could afford. They also offer a 14-day money back guarantee on all products, and ship in usually one business day. While HEALTHandMED launched with Detox Footbath machines, they have since grown to offer other superior natural health products at prices which are unmatchable. I've spoke with Mark personally and he is passionate about helping those in the chronic illness community and has a business which shows it. In an Internet world full of health websites I can vouch for the integrity and personal care of HEALTHandMED.

Highlight Items from HEALTHandMED.com:
  • They have a great selection of others detox items such as Far Infrared Saunas. Far infrared light reaches just beyond visible red, and is utilized in Far Infrared (FIR) Therapy. By emitting far infrared rays, portable infrared saunas and FIR sauna blankets allow your body to detoxify through its normal process of sweating in a more comfortable and less costly process than a steam sauna. Heat therapy from portable infrared saunas and FIR sauna blankets warms your body directly, allowing gentle, radiant heat to penetrate 3.5 inches beneath your skin to sooth your blood vessels, improve circulation, and promote fast healing, among a very broad variety of other health benefits.
 
  • ​They also offer a selection of Whole Body Vibration Machines, which I have used personally both in my gym and also at a rehab clinic I worked in briefly. If you ever get the chance to use one, I highly recommend it! Whole Body Vibration Fitness Machine training utilizes almost 100 percent of the muscle fibers, improving blood circulation, lymphatic drainage and metabolism. Whole Body Vibration Fitness Machines stimulate muscles which will pump blood into the smallest capillaries of the body, allowing the cells to receive fuel more rapidly, causing waste products to be disposed of much faster and enhancing your local circulation, which builds bone density and a stronger immune system, fights osteoporosis, and reduces your back and joint pains
 
  • ​They carry a selection of Water Ionizers, which are able to make Alkaline, Acidic & Ionized water all in one machine. Alkalized Water produced by this ionizer machine assists in blood regulation by helping your body keep your blood’s pH level at a healthy 7.3 to 7.4. Ionized Water, meanwhile, allows negative ions to donate electrons to free radicals to neutralize them. This is counter to most soft drinks and bottled waters, which are positively charged and cause oxidation. Finally, Acid Water helps the body neturalize infections, fungus, and acne. Acid Water also kills E. coli bacteria on contact and can be used as a natural cleanser and sanitizer for store-bought fruits and vegetables or kitchen countertops and utensils.
 
  • Lastly, I want to highlight their Natural Pain Relief section which includes items like Tilt Tables, Massage tools & more! 

Thank you so much again to HEALTHandMED, please show them some love and check out all the great things they have on their website! I'm not an affiliate or sponsored by them, and I get nothing in return for you purchasing any of the items in this post. I just really appreciate & trust in this company and I wanted to highlight all their offerings!

Give Me ALL the Allergy Free Snacks: Top 10-Free Snack Haul

9/14/2018

0 Comments

 
This post is not sponsored. I bought all of these items myself, and no one paid me to write this review. 
Hi my name is Christina, and I'm a snackoholic. You can often find wrappers or empty boxes all over my bed because I could pretty much snack all day long. While I type this blog post I am aimlessly crunching on some chocolate peppermint bark, and I must say it's making this moment significantly better.

I remember beginning my anti-inflammatory diet many years ago and feeling so deprived. There were seemingly no snacks on the market at the time to fulfill my needs of being made without things like gluten, milk, soy, corn etc in it. Over the years my diet has been ever evolving, and where I used to not be able to tolerate any sugar I can now eat a little bit here and there. This has been a big win, because in the mean time I got more sensitive to dairy, eggs and nuts so it really opened the door for me to try a broader range of allergy-free snacks.

Oh and as a disclaimer, the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology classifies Coconut as a fruit, not a tree nut (as do many other organizations). So for the purpose of this post coconut is not being lumped in with nuts. Tree nuts include almonds, Brazil nuts, cashews, chestnuts, filberts/hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, pecans, pistachios, pine nuts, shea nuts and walnuts.

This post is going to be no frills, just a sampling of some snacks I have come to love which are all top 10 allergy free. Whoo! Some of these also aren't really mainstream, and I had to do a whole lot of internet browsing to find out they exist. But now that I found them I knew I had to share! Some of the items can be found in grocery stores, but I also include online shopping links for everything.
iwon - Sea Salt Protein Chips
These are made of a delightful blend of gluten free flours & beans, and it tastes like an upgraded tortilla chip. Plant based, vegan, allergy free & oh so yum. It's way too easy to eat a whole bag. They come in grab and go sized bags which makes it easy for on the go too as an added bonus.

Natural Nectar - Organic Cocoa Rice Stix
Oh how do I love thee, let me count the ways.... These are the perfect crunchy creamy combo, and are a little slice of chocolate coconut heaven. I had to search for these more than I'd have liked, because this same brand makes another version with hazelnuts and for some reason those were way easier to come by than this coconut variety. As of now I order them online from Swell Market, but they sell them in stores too. I live in a small town so they were no where to be found here, but if you have a Whole Foods or Sprouts definitely give it a look.

Trader Joes - Organic Marshmallow Treats
These are Organic, Vegan, Gluten Free, Soy free Marshmallow treats! I repeat, VEGAN and SOY FREE. I think I hit some kind of food lottery when I found these, because I can't explain how much I missed marshmallow treats. Marshmallows are traditionally made with gelatin which are a big no no for me, and most all marshmallow alternatives contain soy protein. When I found these treats I promptly ordered a box and proceeded to be in complete bliss. They taste amazing, and that is no exaggeration. Also, all things considered they only have 7g of sugar (a lot of which comes from the rice itself). They aren't overly sweet, it's just right. If you are lucky enough to live near a Trader Joe's I highly recommend you grab a box (or 5) asap. However, if you're like me then you can order them online from Amazon. Trader Joe's products are organic and high quality so they cost a little more than your usual Rice Krispy treat, but its so worth it.

free 2b - Peppermint Bark & Mini Sun Cups
These yummy little guys are top 12 Allergen free, and they taste way better than their mainstream alternative. The Sun Cups are reminiscent of Reece's Cups, and are perfectly bite sized. They are oh so creamy and smooth, and the rice chocolate is indistinguishable from milk chocolate. The Peppermint Bark is made of dark chocolate with crunchy bits of peppermint inside. I know I've used the words 'amazing' and 'incredible' a lot in this post, but this peppermint bark deserves its own accolade. It's so incredibly satisfying with the blend of peppermint and rich dark chocolate.. ohh the bliss.

Beanitos - White Bean Cinnamon Twists
Do you look back fondly at the Taco Bell cinnamon twists, and wish you could taste that glorious cinnamon crunch again? If so, you are in for a real treat with these. These Cinnamon Twists are made entirely of beans & tapioca with just a hint of sugar, and they taste just like the real deal. If you warm them up a little bit they become almost indistinguishable from the Taco Bell variety, except maybe the fact that they aren't covered in 3lbs of grease. If anything these are an improvement of the original. Some grocery stores sell them, but if not you can also find them online. Thank you internet.
