Independence Day is one of my favorite holidays of the summer, my family, I enjoy the opportunity to be out with family and friends. I find it so interesting to see what foods are associated with these holidays and how families celebrate with different types of foods.

Living in the Midwest, there is a lot of barbecue, and it seems only to increase over the 4th of July. I enjoy excellent barbecue, but I choose to stay away from much of the beef products since being diagnosed with liver disease in 2009.

I have to watch out for products high in dairy, sugar, and beef as a whole. But the amount of food I eat can be just as damaging as eating a poor choice of food.

No one is perfect and in reality, we are all striving to improve our current state emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. In saying this, I am letting you know one way I prepare for these types of gatherings.

One way I prepare is by having my Pure Digest Roll-On with me to apply to my abdomen 5–10 minutes before I eat. I do this so that I can calm any current inflammation not seen or felt, as well as help support the proper message of digestion throughout the gut as food begins to arrive.

Each of the essential oils found in our Pure Digest blend are not only digestives, but hepatoprotectives or rather liver support and detoxifying oils as well. That being said, I can apply it over the whole abdomen for great benefit.

Enjoy the holidays this season.
