Hello Friends!

For those of you who follow me, you know that I broke up with Target and Walmart 20 years ago and switched to an online “Patriot Owned” Shopping Club that manufactures more than 500 affordable and safer product that can claim NO ONE has ever been harmed by these products.

Anyway…This Saturday SOMETHING BIG IS GOING TO BE ANNOUNCED!

Until then, I’ll give you a little bit of info of what I know…..From what I hear, NO ONE is offering what we are about to offer and NO ONE will ever be able to do what we are about to do…Saturday’s announcement is going to be LIFE CHANGING!

Stay tuned…

Who Are You?

When asked that question, many people are struck with sadness from living a life based on their accomplishments and having self worth based on what they can do. 

We all need to remind ourselves that WHO we are will always outshine WHAT we are.

Clean without Compromising Safety!

EcoSense products NEVER use chlorine bleach, ammonia, quaternary disinfectants, or phthalates. EcoSense lets you enjoy the clean you love without the risks associated with caustic chemicals. And you never have to worry about harsh fumes or harmful residues being left behind!

When was the last time your Vitamin D levels were measured?

Green Tea and Your Brain 

Dozens of studies show that green tea consumption protects the brain as we age. Green Tea has been shown in clinical trials to boost cognitive function as well as lower rates of cognitive disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

The magic of green tea is found in the high concentrations of polyphenols, known as catechins. Catechins function as both antioxidants and anti-inflammatories.

Also, drinking green tea improves the diversity of bacteria in the gut and protects the lining of the gut, which helps to prevent leaky gut.

If you’ve heard of the brain/gut connection, this is a great example of it. Signals sent back and forth between the gut and the brain have a profound impact on aging and risk for disease.

So pour yourself a cup of green tea and curl up with a great book!

A positive mindset is critical!

What steps do you take to keep a positive mindset?

Tinnitus: Ringing In The Ears 

It can be so annoying, but it’s not a disease. It’s a symptom of other potential problems.

  • Age Related Hearing Loss This usually happens in the 60’s but happened to me early (way too many concerts!)
  • Excess Earwax (I have eustachian tubes that are at an unusual angle and typically have to get the cleaned out by an ENT every 2 or 3 years.
  • Certain meds, like aspirin, NSAIDs, diuretics and antidepressants can trigger ringing or make it louder
  • Ear & Sinus Infections create extra pressure that triggers tinnitus.
  • TMJ ( the chiropractor can be a huge help here.)
  • High Blood Pressure and Hardening of the Arteries add to it because the blood vessels near our ears become less flexible, creating a louder noise.
  • Fibromyalgia and Lyme Disease can trigger as well.

You can always visit your ENT but before you do, try using an electronic device to suppress the noise such as a White noise machines. These devices, which produce a sound similar to static, or environmental sounds such as falling rain or ocean waves, are often an effective treatment.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO IF YOU ARE HAVING A STROKE?

A stroke occurs when a blood vessel to a part of the brain becomes clogged or bursts. When this occurs, the nerve cells in that part of the brain can no longer work the right way. Every part of the brain controls a specific part of the body. The part of the brain that is affected by the blockage or bleeding will determine what deficits appear (for example, trouble speaking, walking or numbness and weakness).

Strokes are often preventable. And a big percentage of the ones that happen are treatable with the right care, right away. It’s a matter of knowing what to do, taking action and spreading the word.

Use the acronym B.E.F.A.S.T. for recognizing a stroke:

  • B – Balance: Watch for sudden loss of balance
  • E – Eyes: Check for vision loss
  • F – Face: Look for an uneven smile
  • A – Arm: Check if one arm is weak
  • S – Speech: Listen for slurred speech
  • T – Time: Call 9-1-1 right away
