Diabetes and It’s Many Friends 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Diabetes isn’t just about blood sugar levels 

Diabetes is a condition where the body doesn’t produce enough insulin or it doesn’t use insulin properly. This causes the blood sugars to become too high, known as hyperglycemia. 

Almost 10% of the population is diabetic, so there’s no wonder why pharmaceutical companies are marketing Ozempic, Mounjaro, Wegovey, etc in big ways. 

People with diabetes have a higher risk of developing serious complications including:

  • Heart Disease 
  • Kidney Disease 
  • Nerve Damage 
  • Dementia
  • Gum Disease 
  • Mood Disorders 
  • Eye Problems, including Blindness 

Type II Diabetes IS REVERSIBLE, but it takes effort. Even though it’s reversible, through diet, exercise and healthy life changes. Diabetes is a highly dangerous disease and it’s worth taking seriously.

 Since I do price comparisons all the time, THIS is the reason my online Wellness store is a monthly shop club:
By redirecting even the smallest amount of shopping away from Target, Costco, Wal-Mart, Publix and Amazon
to my online wellness shopping club, they can cut out warehousing. That’s a huge part of a retail price when you
shop the old fashioned way in a store or at Amazon.
So…. the MORE you switch, the MORE you save.
It’s money already spent. It’s just a better way to spend it.
Why would any of us pay retail when we can get a wholesale price?

Eye-opening statistic about functional movement

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Here’s an eye-opening statistic for you! 

“The average person loses 30% of their muscle by the time they reach 60!
This can lead to many health issues including loss of balance, less mobility, as well as decreased bone density — all of which can lead to falls and fractures.

According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, studies suggest that among those 50 and older, up to one in two women and up to one in four men will break a bone due to osteoporosis. Even a minor fall or bump can result in broken bones for those suffering from bone density loss. 

Strength training for the aging population — and by that, I mean anyone 50 and over — is tremendously important as it can help to reduce the risk of falls and bone breakage. The great news is that it’s never too late to start…and it doesn’t have to be complicated! 

We all are getting older. Exercises that combine functional strength skills with mobility exercises with help us move better and reduce the risk of injury! 

Here are just a few benefits of functional movement and strength training:

  • Reduced Fall Risk 
  • Better Balance and Stability
  • Improved Mobility
  • Decreased Pain and Stiffness
  • Increased Strength and Stamina
  • Greater Ease When Performing Daily Activities

By incorporating functional strength training two to three days a week and aerobic exercise (such as brisk walking) three to four days a week, you can experience greater control and improve the quality of your life!

Second-Hand Smoke

It’s not something that we hear a lot about anymore, but it’s still out there. And it’s as dangerous as ever! Look at the stats:

  • Second Hand smoke causes as least 7,000 deaths each year from lung cancer.
  • Heart disease CAUSED by second-hand smoke kills 34,000 Americans each year.
  • Short term smoke exposure can increase heart attack risk.
  • A large European study found that exposure to second-hand smoke at home or work can increase pancreatic cancer risk by 50%!

Each year, 3000 sober Americans are tragically killed by drunk drivers, but 41,000 non-smokers are killed by second-hand smoke! 

Besides avoiding it as much as possible, what can we do?

Eat cruciferous vegetables! Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale and collard greens lower our cancer risk because they help to detoxify our bodies of carcinogens like benzene, found in cigarettes.

MAGNESIUM DEFICIENCIES

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Magnesium is an ESSENTIAL mineral. That means we ABSOLUTELY NEED it yet over 70% of people are deficient in it.

How do make sure YOU get your magnesium every day? Powder? Capsule? Tablet?

Mine is an easy to use powder so I can throw it in my sugar free lemonade mix that I drink all day long. (I also throw my collagen mix in there too at some point during the day).Sometimes I even mix my magnesium in my protein shake.

What about you?

Clean with a Gleam

I always just vacuum my floors. But, with my dog shedding everywhere and the tiny muddy paw prints, well, my floor was way overdue!

I like using safe products that are not harmful to tiny paws or his health. This system has a duster to remove dust and grime, then there’s the mopping pad which is followed by the wax and shine applicator. I was surprised how the duster picked up all the dust and got in the corners of the furniture. Then I started cleaning. The results blew my socks off. My home smells so clean and the floor looks so shiny for the first time since I moved in two years ago!.

Today I decided to actually clean them. This is the first time in years and they gleam! I am so thankful I found this amazing hardwood floor cleaner!

Connecting the Dots

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Sometimes, connecting the dots doesn’t make sense to some of you. It will, it just means you haven’t connected the dots , yet. What dots? The myriad of weird illnesses caused by various products you’re using or have used in your home.

I’ve been connecting the dots for twenty years now and I can’t say enough about how these products have changed my life! Looking back, I think I spent more money than I care to admit on supplements that didn’t work. It was frustrating, looking for healthier options. I am so thankful for my friend who introduced me to a new brand she found. She swore these “new” products were life changing..

First of all, I never have to step foot in a big box store to get discounts, these products are priced competitively and are delivered straight to my door!
Think about it, how many ow many companies are truly American these days? This one is. everything is made here in the USA. How many companies do you know of have a 96% reorder rate each and every month? None that I know of!”

I will forever be grateful for this online shopping club and what it’s doing and had done for my family.
We don’t have many things we can control but we can control what we put in our homes and in our bodies!
