Yes, I am having knee replacement surgery in June. In the past I had not thought much about surgery. But as I have gotten older I have noticed that I recover slower. Anesthesia messes with my brain, IBS is worse and body moves slower. So I am prepping my body for surgery.
Mindwise is a supplement I take for a healthy brain function. I am taking it twice a day with Ningxia Red. Ningxia Red is a strong antioxidant. Antioxidents eat up free radicals which try to tear the body down. My memory has gotten so much better by adding 1 extra tablespoon of Mindwise at night. For healthy skin and immune support I take 7 drops of Longevity in a capsule with 2 extra drops of Frankincense. Longevity does have Frankincense in it, but I wanted extra support for my immune system. Lastly, Life 9 for a healthy digestive system. It is a poweful probiotic.
Now there are a couple of things you can do without supplements or oils to prepare your body for surgery. One is watching what you eat. Fast food cantains alot of salt, corn sugar, unhealthy fats and coloring agents. Yes, I do eat some fast food but I am limiting how often I eat out. Sugar is never a good idea. But, one that I struggle with daily. To much surgar causes all sorts of problems such as weight gain, heart disease, diabetes, cancer and depression. I am trying to cut out a lot of sugar. I am also concentrating on drinking more water. I so.....struggle with the water thing, But even though it is an everyday battle, I am still working on keeping my body hydrated. And finally I rest. I rest throughout the day. Especially when my knee says to lay down and relax. Plenty of rest helps to fight depression. I do use Dream Catcher and Ylang Ylang essential oils to promote sleep. A good nights sleep promotes wellness.
With my knee struggles I find I can hardly walk around Walmart. I am so looking forward to just being able to participate in everyday activities. To help keep me positive during this time I am using Joy essential oil. I have shared about this oil before. It really helps me see the positive side of surgery and life. Also, anyone who would like to pray for me....that would be really appreciated.
Thanks,
India
