Magnesium Deficiency and Cancer

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Magnesium deficiency is a risk factor for multiple cancers. This essential mineral helps maintain proper immune function and regulates inflammation, both of which are important factors in cancer prevention.

Good sources of magnesium include:

  • Leafy greens
  • Fruit 
  • Chocolate 
  • Dairy (grassfed is easier to digest)
  • Beef 

But still….. it’s hard to get the necessary requirements so supplementing is important. I prefer a powder magnesium that i can easily add to my water, lemonade, protein shakes, etc. It’s one less pill to swallow, but i can also increase dosage if I prefer. Also, I recommend looking for a magnesium supplement that also has Vitamin B6. It works beautifully with this mineral for quicker absorption.

How to Add More Fiber to Your Diet

If you are looking to lose some weight or balance your blood sugars, turn to fiber to help you reach that goal.
Here are a few easy steps:

  • Increase your fiber intake gradually. Consuming a lot of fiber at once can have unintended consequences; such as constipation. To ensure a smooth transition, try increasing your fiber intake by five grams daily until you reach your goal.
    As long as each meal contains roughly 10 grams of fiber or more, you’ll consume enough.
  • Fill your pantry with shelf-stable ingredients. Keep items like nuts, seeds, and canned beans on hand since they have a longer shelf life and are easy to add to meals. You can sprinkle slivered almonds on a salad for a crunchy boost, coat baked salmon in a flaxseed crust, or add beans to a vegetable soup.
  • Double up on vegetables. Most vegetables contain some fiber, but certain options are better than others. Veggies high in fiber include artichokes (yum!), Brussels sprouts, spinach, broccoli, and carrots. (Pumpkin and avocado are also high in fiber but are actually fruits.)
  • Don’t forget about fiber-rich snacks. If you know you’re falling short on fiber in your meals, use snacks to balance out your daily needs. Think toasted and spiced nuts, vegetables, and fruits like raspberries and apples. Pair with a source of protein or fat (like cheese) to slow the release of sugar into your bloodstream.
  • Add fiber to every meal. Thirty to fifty grams is a lot of fiber; you don’t want to eat all of that at once, or your GI tract may suffer. It’s better to break it up to include fiber in every meal and snack. That could look like a chia pudding for breakfast, a salad with crispy chickpeas and avocado for lunch, or a bowl of chili served over cauliflower rice for dinner. 

If you don’t know what your fiber goals should be, think 28+ grams/day for women and 34+ grams/day for men.

Live Longer With A Daily Walk

Here are the facts:

  • If Americans over 40 walked as much each day as the most physically active members of the population, they could extend their life span by at least five years, a new study finds.
  • The least physically active 25% of the population stood the most to gain, according to the predictive model: For each hour of walking they do, they can extend their life by about 6 hours.

Christopher Schneble, MD, Yale Medicine sports medicine physician and assistant professor of orthopaedics and rehabilitation at Yale School of Medicine (who was not involved in the study) says……

“Engaging in physical activity can result in improved preservation of bone density, improved strength, reduced body fat, and better cardiovascular health. It can also lead to improvements in both mood and cognitive function. Improving things like heart rate, blood pressure, or the amount of excess body fat can all help decrease how hard the heart must work to pump blood throughout the body, which in return is protective.”

So schedule in some time to walk and set a goal to walk every day! Your body will thank you for it!

Your Dinner Time Can Impact Your Metabolic Health 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

I don’t know about you, as I get older, my dinner hour keeps getting a little earlier. Can anyone relate?
In reality, that’s not a bad thing. You know, that old advice to stop eating a few hours before bedtime exists for a good reason: 
Late night snacking may disrupt your sleep, add to weight gain, and increase your risk of Type 2 diabetes. 
Late night eating can have these consequences: 

  • Bigger Blood Sugar Spikes (which leads to a host of health problems)
  • Altered Fat Metabolism (it encourages fat storage)
  • Lower post-meal metabolic rate (you don’t burn calories as efficiently)
  • Great hunger (even though food intake was the same when compared with those who ate at an earlier hour)
  • Difficulty in losing weight 

It’s not always easy, but with a little planning, you can have your dinner and your evening walk too!

Are YOU Still on Track to Make 2025 Your Healthiest Year Yet?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

You shouldn’t wait until you have a health problem and then try to play catch up. I was fortunate because I caught things early and reacted fast with a protocol that worked. I still follow that protocol! But I always wonder had I been lazy in the beginning, would we have even had these health issues at all?

But more often than not, people take their health for granted and when there’s a problem, they drag their feet. They put all their trust into the medical community (which we absolutely must use) but it’s been my experience that we must all be our own health advocates in the process!

I invite you to let me help you review your nutrition protocol so you can make 2025 your healthiest year yet!

I said yes

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Over the years, I’ve realized one thing more than ever: Everyone needs additional income.
Business owners are having to hustle twice as hard, just to make the same money. Employees are worried about cutbacks and layoffs. Most people who work from home are struggling to make it. In most home based businesses, people are faking it till they make it, but they never make it or ashamed to be honest. They put on a show for everyone to see that has nothing to do with reality. Many are one month away from bankruptcy or losing everything.

My heart aches for those people. Those good, God-loving, church-going people that deserve to have A Good Life. One without worry and fear of losing everything. I’ve been there. More than once. I know what it’s like to be on food stamps and to require a box of food a week from the ministry. Or driving for Uber until you nearly run out of gas with a car full of passengers. Knowing that depression was the result and still trying my hardest to be strong for me and family.

Today, I’m grateful. I’m grateful that I had the courage to say yes to something new. Something different. Twenty years ago, I said yes. Because of that yes, I have stability and security. It’s a real business, with real customers buying things they really want. It’s real. It’s fresh. It’s honest. And I love it!

I’m exclusively work my side hustle

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Saying goodbye to my previous career to exclusively work my side hustle and travel has been a transformative experience.
It has not only provided financial stability but has also enriched my life in ways I could have never imagined.
Now, I can work from any corner of the globe with a laptop and a reliable internet connection—from bustling cafes in European cities to serene beaches in Southeast Asia.

My side hustle is a skill that will work no matter what’s going on in other markets. No matter how high interest rates are spiking.
No matter what the Federal Reserve has to say. No matter how much or little inventory is available. This side hustle will help you make money outside of your normal work environment forever.

If you’re feeling stuck in your current position, don’t be afraid to explore new avenues and consider a side hustle
I’m living proof that it can be done! Life is too short to settle for anything less than what truly makes you happy. Cheers to embracing change, pursuing dreams, and living life to the fullest!

PS this is not MLM!
