Just a Spray a Day

Keeps Hard Water Stains Away!

We covered a glass sheet with hard water. On the left we sprayed No Work 12x and on the right we just let the water dry. It’s easy to see how No Work 12x helps prevent soap scum and hard water buildup, so your shower stays sparkling day after day—with no scrubbing!

Pancakes that get you fiber

I made some scrambled eggs and pancakes for breakfast this morning.

I watch my carbs, so I made my special low carb/high fiber pancakes that I find to be nutritious and delicious. Since I love cinnamon, I made a cinnamon pancake for me.
To make my protein pancake I start with Proflex Vanilla Protein Shake and I to add extra fiber to it,. I use Fiberwise. I simply added a scoop of it. It’s great replacement for flour as well—if you’re making conventional pancakes. Anyway, ,y Protein plus fiber pancakes always come out fluffy and yummy!

Everyone needs fiber and Fiberwise gives me a simple way to add extra fiber in my diet. Two scoops of Fiberwise contains 16 grams of fiber. I used only one scoop this morning.

Plus, Fiberwise is great for baking and can be used just like flour! The container label offers all sorts of ways to incorporate it into your diet.
Fiberwisemakes it easy to be certain you’re getting enough fiber! After all, it is nature’s scrub brushes for your gastrointestinal tract!

What does the little “e” mean?

The tiny “e” symbol on products means the products meet strict European Beauty and Health Standards. Why is that important to know? Well, the European Beauty and Health Standard are known to be a safer, healthier standard with healthier people.

Here’s why that matters:
In Europe, more than 1,300 ingredients are “banned”. Yes, banned—over 1,300 ingredients—in personal care products because of health risks.
In the U.S.? Only 11 ingredients are banned. Shocking, right?

Even crazier—some companies actually create two versions of the same product: a safer, European-standard one and then a less-regulated version for the U.S.
It’s not about protecting us; it’s about their profits. I know this from Guyana. Coke and Pepsi even do this with their soda. I will drink it there, but not here!

I now look for products with the “e” label. They’re usually pricier, but, thankfully, I shop with a manufacturer that makes safe, high-quality products affordable around the Wellness Store. This isn’t just for the ladies—guys, your health matters too!
Switching to healthier, toxin-free options doesn’t have to break the bank.
If you’d like help making the change, I’ve got some tips to share!

Always check the labels

Cellulose is actually mulched wood turned into a powder and yes, it’s in the Parmesan cheese.
Buy a block of Parmesan cheese and grate your own.

This is beyond exciting

The company I’ve been with for the past 20 years continues to exceed my expectations—they’ve just announced a huge raise!
In a time when security is hard to come by, this kind of commitment is truly rare.
With so many people struggling in silence, it’s reassuring to know that we can make a real difference.
It’s not just about the free trips and perks—it’s about securing a financial future and helping others.
I love this company.

IT’S 2025 — NOW IS THE TIME TO LIVE OUR BEST LIVES

HOW CAN WE LIVE OUR BEST LIVES?

Living our best lives is not just about making good nutrition and fitness choices that affect our health. It’s also about how we choose to live day to day. Audrey Hepburn offered three suggestions on how to live our best lives. Her timeless wisdom touches the soul and offers a guiding light to follow.

SEEK BEAUTY IN OTHERS — When we choose to see the beauty in people, it takes a lot more than judging at first glance. Take the time to uncover the goodness in others. Doing this can lead to wonderful relationships and personal growth.

GENTLE WORDS HAVE POWER  — Words possess extraordinary power. Words can uplift or wound, we must choose carefully. When we choose kindness in our speech, it can ignite a ripple effect of positivity in both our professional and personal spheres.

WALK WITH CONFIDENCE — Confidence transcends self-belief; it’s an acknowledgment that we’re never truly alone on our journey. When we realize that countless others have confronted similar challenges, we can emerge victorious.

A slight shift in our mindset can yield monumental results in our personal and professional life. Seek beauty, speak kindly, and stride with confidence—our pathway to success and fulfillment commences with these elegantly straightforward principles.

Wishing 2025 is your best year ever!

Fruits and Vegetables Can Help Prevent Cancer

In study after study, diets high in fruits and vegetables have been shown to lower cancer risk. Fruits and veggies are rich in polyphenols, flavonoids, dietary fiber and antioxidant vitamins and minerals that have a huge impact on fighting cancer. 
Unfortunately, many conventionally grown fruits and vegetables are loaded with unwanted chemicals like, glyphosate – the active ingredient in the weedkiller Roundup.
Glyphosate was introduced in 1996, found to be ‘probably carcinogenic’ in 2015, and in 2019, scientists at University of Washington reported a compelling link between exposure to glyphosate-based herbicides and increased risk for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma.

Note: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) continues to insist that there is no evidence that glyphosate causes cancer in people. That said, Bayer, which acquired Monsanto in 2018, has shelled out over $10 million for current and future lawsuits involving glyphosate and NHL. 

To no surprise, eating a diet filled with organic fruits and veggies is linked with lower cancer risks. Five servings/day is optimal but even two servings/day can lower your risk by 10%. Just make sure you choose organic!

Have you ever taken digestive enzymes?

Have you ever taken digestive enzymes? I take them before large meals or if I eat a lot of dairy.

The reason?
Taking a digestive enzyme with meals can make a difference in how you feel when you eat. It can reduce the feeling of being overly full, reduce gas and best of all… no bloating! From a nutritional perspective, digestive enzymes it help to break down the food so that the body has to do less work during the process of digestion and absorb the nutrients more efficiently.

To test the theory, I put a slice of steak in a Ziplock bag, added a little warm water and the contents of one capsule my digestive enzyme. In 10 minutes, the steak was broken down. That convinced me that digestive enzymes should be a part of my daily regimen.

My little capsules provide 18 unique digestive enzymes to help break down gluten, dairy, proteins, carbohydrates, fiber, and more, so, let’s break it down:

Breaks down protein in beef, chicken, pork, eggs, and nuts

• Protease 4.5 breaks down the proteins found in meats, nuts, eggs, and cheese
• Peptidase breaks down proteins during digestion to allow them to be used by the body
• Bromelain breaks down proteins
• Phytase helps the body digest minerals, such as calcium, zinc, copper, and manganese
• Protease 6.0 breaks down the proteins found in meats, nuts, eggs, and cheese
• Lipase breaks down fats found in dairy, nuts, oil, and meat products
• Neutral Bacterial Protease helps break down protein

Breaks down lactose and fats in milk, cheese, and ice cream

• Lipase breaks down fats found in dairy, nuts, oil, and meat products
• Lactase breaks down lactose (milk sugars)
• Acid Maltase breaks down proteins, carbohydrates, and fats to maintain an optimal absorption of nutrients
• Protease 6.0 breaks down the proteins found in meats, nuts, eggs, and cheese

Breaks down carbohydrates in bread, rice, pasta, cookies, candy, fruit, and vegetables

• Invertase breaks down sucrose (table sugar)
• Amylase helps break down starches to allow them to be absorbed and used for energy
• Glucoamylase helps break down starches into glucose, which is usable by the body
• Acid Maltase is used to breakdown proteins, carbohydrates, and fats to maintain an optimal absorption of nutrients
• Hemicellulase breaks down fiber and carbohydrates
• Pectinase is a group of enzymes that break down the pectin commonly found in plants
• Xylanase breaks down xylan sugars, like those found in corn
• Invertase breaks down sucrose (table sugar)

Breaks down fiber in salad, beans, and whole grains

• Alpha-galactosidase facilitates the digestion of beans, legumes, seeds, roots, and soy
• Cellulase breaks down cellulose (plant fiber)
• Beta-glucanase breaks down soluble fibers found in grains
• Hemicellulase breaks down fiber and carbohydrates
• Phytase helps the body digest minerals, such as as calcium, zinc, copper, and manganese

These little capsules are a game changer!

My gut health is so incredibly important to me, how’s your gut?

Wellness check: Potassium Chloride

Potassium is a life-essential mineral. In the hospital, K+ (potassium) is given for many reasons, including electrolyte replacement and for hypokalemia–low potassium — a condition which leads to electrical problems in the heart. K+ is a component in any electrolyte solution and comes in several forms including potassium chloride, potassium citrate, etc. It’s in many multivitamins and mineral solutions. In the hospital, when administered in IV form, it is diluted in saline or other solutions. If given straight, it is only given very slowly, over time. The reason is because if straight potassium is dumped into the blood stream without dilution (called a bolus), the heart will stop. That’s why this otherwise harmless mineral (in normal amounts) is used as part of the lethal injection series of drugs.

While I am NOT a supporter of the Coca Cola brand, and Dasani is tap water, not spring water, the presence of potassium is not an issue, but is being used ignorantly (I hope) and with hyperbole by it’s original creator.
