Oven Melamagic

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

I love Melamagic’s degreasing, heavy duty deep cleaning effects. But, dislike the need to make a sink or bucketful to use it. This is an amazing product that actually works like —well, magic!

Today was lets clean the oven day and I thought I’d try something different. I put the product (mixed as directed) into a sprayer bottle I found under the kitchen sink.

I sprayed my broiler pan, let it sit for about 15-20 minutes. Then I did a light scrub just to kind of scratch up the residue and sprayed a little more. I did not let it dry. Twenty to thirty minutes later I rubbed it with a soft scouring pad and rinsed it under hot water. Anything that didn’t come off easily with a light scrub got to sit a while longer. Then I did a final scrub, a final rinse and wiped all surfaces until rag came back clean. After cleaning the broiler pan I couldn’t stop—I cleaned the stove and most used frying pan!

The best part is there were no harmful fumes or chemicals released into the air. Safer for your lungs and for your family. There is no better reasons than family to join the Wellness Club, and convert your entire home and lifestyle over to wellness!!!

Just because …..

  • Breast cancer doesn’t run in your family
  • You don’t have the BRCA gene
  • You get your annual mammogram

doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do everything you can to PREVENT Breast Cancer.

Steps you can take to prevent breast cancer are:

  • Eliminate or limit alcohol
  • Commit to healthy diet (Avoid fatty meats and highly processed foods, cut out sugar, )
  • Regular Exercise (300 min of intense physical activity/wk)
  • Don’t smoke

Excess body weight, physical inactivity, poor nutrition and alcohol responsible for about 18 percent of all new cancer cases in the U.S. Prevention is key!

A lot of people say they’d like to get in more exercise, but can’t seem to find the time.
Often, it’s just that you don’t feel like taking the time to go to the gym, or going for a run or a swim.
It’s work. You have to change your clothes, You’ll get sweaty. Then you need to shower and change back.
If there was only an easier way…

There is. Just walk more. You can add more walking or steps to your day simply by making a few simple changes
to your routine.

If you have a dog, you can take them on longer walks. By adding a few extra minutes or blocks to your daily walks,
you will increase your exercise and both you and your dog will benefit.

I am a foodie and only eat the best beef. Tonight I made the most mouth watering New York Stip steak from Riverbend Ranch with my salad. They also have the best seasonings. I was so hungry that I ate half of it until I decided to share a pic.

The best thing I love, is the convenience of how it comes shipped directly to my house on dry ice. So, no worries about it coming fresh. I am never disappointed!

Since today is Dentists’ Day, lets talk about getting a Naturally Healthy Smile

This popular Classic Tooth Polish uses a different approach to whitening smiles. Instead of just bleaching stains, Classic Tooth Polish permanently removes them to naturally reveal a brighter, cleaner smile. And the best part? Our secret to whitening teeth doesn’t come from a lab—it comes from papaya. Papain is a naturally occurring enzyme found in the rinds of mountain papaya. This unique enzyme has the ability to break down the building blocks of stains, making it a natural tooth whitener. Instead of bleaching stains to mask the discoloration, papain actually helps remove stains from the tooth’s surface.

Natural Ingredients for a Naturally Healthy Smile

When it comes to controlling oral bacteria, this Tooth Polish brings together a unique combination of ingredients to prevent plaque, tartar, and gum disease for a lifetime of healthy smiles.

  • T40-C3® MELALEUCA OILThe purest form of this essential oil harvested from only the Melaleuca alternifolia tree, this precious extract helps control oral bacteria and freshens breath.
  • PAPAINA potent natural enzyme extracted from the mountain papaya, papain breaks away stains on the tooth’s surface for whiter teeth without damaging tooth enamel and compromising oral health.
  • MYRRH This precious resin from certain African and Middle Eastern trees is a natural astringent. Traditional medicine has long recognized myrrh for its germ-fighting abilities.
  • Cutting-edge ProRadiant Technology perfectly sweetened by stevia.

Plus, there are no adverse side effects and it’s safe to use daily for adults and children. It’s even safe enough to eat!

BEEF: A Nutritional Powerhouse

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

For a while now, we’ve been told to limit red meat, but that’s a very narrow and uneducated view. There’s a lot of mixed information out there. Beef is actually……

  • Protein rich and low carb
  • Nutrient dense and loaded with key vitamins and minerals
  • Contains all 9 essential amino acids the body needs
  • A good source of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant

Several well known physicians, including Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Ken D Berry, embrace a diet rich in beef, especially in the fight against cancer. Holistic therapists are often promoting a more Keto lifestyle as part of the healing protocol with cancer, and here’s why:

Protein is essential and while you can get protein from other sources, high quality beef is the most nutrient-dense source. Quality beef is loaded with vitamins and minerals. In fact, beef is the best natural source of vitamin B12. Beef is a good source of vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, and K—as well as essential minerals, including zinc, selenium, phosphorus, iron, copper, potassium, and magnesium.

The key is to avoid any antibiotics and hormones. Insist on pasture-raised and grass-fed. We choose only USDA Prime beef that is raised here in the US from a source that I know and trust. So while I believe in eating lots of great fruits and veggies, chicken and grilled fish—I eat high quality beef a few times a week. It works for me1

Gluten Free Challenges

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

If you must (or choose) to go gluten-free, one of the challenges is getting enough dietary fiber. 
Why is that, you may wonder.

You see, on a typical diet, your doctor might tell you to eat more healthy whole grains, like wheat bran, whole wheat bread and cereals to increase your fiber intake. That can be a problem for those with celiac disease who are on a gluten-free diet since many gluten-free foods are low in fiber.

The good news is that there are plenty of gluten-free alternatives to whole wheat that are still high in fiber.

There are two types of dietary fibers – soluble and insoluble.
Soluble fiber soaks up water as it passes through your system, which helps bulk up your stool and guard against diarrhea. Examples of foods with soluble fiber include:

  • Legumes (beans, peas, lentils, chickpeas, soybeans)
  • Fruits (apples, pears, oranges, prunes)
  • Vegetables (carrots, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, eggplant)
  • Sweet potatoes
  • Ground flax seeds and chia seeds

Insoluble fiber helps prevent constipation. Examples of foods with soluble fiber include:

  • Quinoa
  • Buckwheat
  • Millet
  • Wild and brown rice
  • Nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
  • Fruits (strawberries, papayas, mangoes)
  • Vegetables (cucumber, asparagus, okra)

When consuming a diet rich in fiber, it is important to drink water to prevent constipation. Consuming about eight (8-ounce) glasses per day is recommended for adults.

To go gluten-free or not: That is the question!

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Actually, it’s not that simple.

There are benefits of going gluten free, true. For those with celiac disease, it’s a priority! If you don’t have celiac disease, there are several things to consider before going gluten-free:

  • Lack of fiber. Most Americans already miss the mark on fiber. Women require 28 grams of fiber/day, men need 35 grams. The average American gets less than 15 grams a day. That means you will need to think about taking a fiber supplement.
  • Increased risk of Type II Diabetes. Research showed that when participants ate gluten, they were less likely to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The study showed that the more gluten in the diet, the lower the risk of diabetes. Fiber, vitamins and nutrients found in healthy foods containing gluten proved to be beneficial to the overall health of the participants.
  • Weight Gain. Many gluten-free baked items like muffins, cookies or brownies are higher in calories and sugar than their ‘normal’ gluten-containing counterparts. That’s because the items still need to taste good and offer similar texture, but one one item is removed another is there to take it’s place and it can be in the form of a higher sugar or fat content. Because people are tricked into thinking they’re making a ‘healthier’ decision when they choose a gluten-free diet, they often don’t take the time to check labels and nutrition facts. This can lead to weight gain and mote unhealthy choices.
  • Lack of essential vitamins and nutrients. Switching to a gluten-free diet by choice means you also need to be mindful of what you eat. This makes it more difficult to maintain a balanced diet, which may lead to completely unnecessary added stress in the grocery store aisles for limited benefits. Reseach shows that people on a gluten-free diet have increased levels of heavy metals in their blood and urine – possibly due to the increased consumption of rice in gluten-free foods.

Making the choice of going gluten-free is not an easy one. Based on the way that gluten works, it’s an all or nothing decision. If you think going gluten-free is for you, please do your research.
