My body is talking to me loud and clear!

About an hour ago I decided I'd have a cup of mango-green tea. Bad move. After a few sips I started to feel nauseaous(?) belching, dizzy, headache. Ugh! Immediately I started sipping water and turned off my little heater under my desk. I couldn't even take the little warmth from it. I'm starting to feel better. The headache is gone but my tummy is still a little upset. I still feel a bit woosy. I feel like I need a bm. That tea really stirred up my system, Whew! I guess yesterday and today are my signs that my body is not having the least deviation from my simple diet. I think I'll do an enema tonight. I got some disturbing news earlier this afternoon and I wonder if that has some affect as well. We truly are fearfully and wonderfully made. I'm glad for the head's up from my body. It will tell us many things if we listen. Oh and another thing. My nose is working at a hightened capacity too. I can smell people's breath 2 or 3 feet away! Not the side effect I was after cause they don't smell very sweet at all! Come to think of it, I was talking to someone with strong spicy, garlicy breath right when I was sipping my tea. Hummmmmm..... Maybe the combo was a bit much for me. Anyway I think I will be fasting on water for the rest of the afternoon and probably into the night as well. So all I've had today is my green smoothie and the killer tea. Not hungry at all at this point and don't expect to be either. On a happy note: My joints feel soooooooo much better! I was concerned after the corn last night that it might effect me negatively but it hasn't. Some swelling in my hands and fingers have deminished as well. Praise God!

    I'd say your body was definitely letting you know what it needs and doesn't need! Feel better Tovonia! Blessings ;) Probably going through some detox too - sure sounds like it!

    I agree with Starfire - your body is telling you something. Herbal teas also can affect people's systems more than they realize. If it is a new item for you perhaps you could drink it somewhat diluted at first? Hope you feel better soon.
