I never thought I would look in the mirror and love what I saw looking back ever again. I thought those days were far behind me. Guess what? I’m looking better than ever! Stay tuned as I will be sharing in the near future.
By the way, why plan has a six week challenge beginning on Monday, June third. I can help you get registered. Give it six weeks, I guarantee you will love seeing the changes.
I’m curious, do you enjoy shopping online? Do you shop once a month, once a week, or more often?
In my hectic life, I’m constantly online shopping to save time or picking up my online orders at the store.
But this Online shopping club is my favorite : It only offers American-made products, and it is a company that provides transparency on where our money goes and what it supports.
By purchasing these American_made products we successfully reduced the toxins that were unknowingly entering our home through cleaning supplies and personal care products, thereby safeguarding our babies and pets.
Plus, I started saving money on my purchases. Why? Because I’m are buying quality products that actually work, so I don’t need to use as much as I did with other products!
My time in a supermarket has been drastically reduced and I rarely go to drug store. I get all of my daily consumables at this amazing shopping club—Including high quality beef. It’s been twenty years, you know it has to be good if I’ve been a loyal customer that long!
Mental Health is a HUGE topic, and yet most don’t realize how many different conditions can impact your Brain Health.
Alcohol — Over time, drinking too much can damage your brain. Research shows that alcohol can shrink certain parts of your brain, too.
Migraines — Research shows that chronic migraines might cause you to lose some gray and white matter.
Concussions — With an impact to the head, the brain slides and bumps into the inside of the skull. This bruises the brain and tears nerve tissue. Concussions shake up the balance of chemicals in the brain, harming nerve cell function and triggering inflammation.
Meditation — One study found that meditating for two months increased gray matter in parts of the brain that control emotions and learning. It can reduce inflammation in the brain and protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
Exercise — Exercise pumps blood to the brain, and that delivers oxygen and nutrients. It stimulates the release of proteins keeping brain cells healthy and help grow new ones.
The list goes on: PTSD, Depression, Strokes, Aneurysms, MS, ADHD, BiPolar Disorders and more. But knowing the impact helps us be more motivated to be proactive in taking care of our brain!
Often, we are attracted to products that will help us slow down the aging process, such as anti-aging skin care. But what about taking a proactive approach to staying young by AVOIDING habits that ACCELERATE the aging process?
When you read the Fox News article , overall, none of this should be new to you by now, except #8. That might be a surprise. But the two habits that you have the most control over are #3 and #4.
“A nutrient deficient diet has been shown to accelerate aging, experts agree.” That’s why we need to supplement. Several essential minerals are missing from our food these days.
“A diet high in processed foods, sugars and unhealthy fats can cause inflammation, damage collagen and accelerate skin aging.” A recent study claims that eating a hotdog reduces life expectancy by 38 minutes, and eating salmon could extend it by 70 minutes. So it’s a good idea to watch how often you eat processed foods
“Lack of exercise contributes to aging by causing muscle loss, bone density reduction, weight gain and cardiovascular issues.” No surprise here. We all have been repeatedly told exercise is foundational to our health—so what will be you’re exercise of choice. Mine is rowing..
What a gorgeous Spring day to be able to get outside and get some steps in! There’s a nice cool breeze blowing, birds are singing, the squirrels are running around and I smell the jasmine blooming. Walking always helps clear my mind and I know it’s good for my health. Make it a great day.
A recent clinical study showed that biological brain aging was reversed among participants who were in a nutritional supplement program for 13 months.
In the study, participants were assigned to take a tailored program of supplements that included (but not limited to)
Vitamins A, B Complex, C and D
Alpha-Lipoic Acid
CoQ10
Magnesium
Omega 3 Fatty Acids
Zinc
Probiotics
Using a quantitative electroencaphalogram, brain biologial age was estimated before and after the program. Participants who consumed the supplements had a brain biological age that averaged 2.83 years younger that the age measured at the beginning of the study.
You are going to see more studies regarding reverse aging, which is very exciting!
Studies prove theres an association between higher Vitamin D levels and a lower risk of overactive bladder or urinary incontinence.
Participants who were vitamin D deficient had over four times the odds of overactive bladder and a 30% greater risk of incontinence compare with those who were not deficient.
At the beginning of this year, the USDA established some new rules for labeling on controversial modified crops and ingredients. Previously, these rules varied state by state and now there is a more universal approach to labeling “BE’s”.
Simply put, bioengineered food is any food that’s been genetically modified, or GMO’s. Below is a small taste of some of our food supply that has been are genetically modified/bioengineered, but I could post dozens of foods.
These actually say that they are BE in tiny letters but many others don’t. They can just put a BE seal, a QR code that you have to scan or a phone number.
Most children’s cereals, PopTarts, Campbell’s Chicken Noodle Soup, Dannon Light & Fit yogurt,
Believe it or not, even Argo Baking Powder has bioengineered ingredients in it.
This is a controversial subject. Some feel strongly about it, while the government will tell you GMO’s are safe.
Living in Florida, I’ve discovered that I can’t live without this product! I use it whenever I go to the yard to water the plants—several times a week! All natural with no chemicals so it’s even safe to spray on pets —and I do, every time Pinot and I go to the park, we both get a spray! He doesn’t mind it either. Since you never know when it will come in handy, I even carry one in my car!
