Healthy Tip of the day–drink/eat

Drink green tea and plenty of water. Eat blueberries, broccoli, and almonds.

My magnesium results are in!

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Did you know the general thought is that you use less than 10% of the minerals in supplements off the store shelf?

For eight months, I faithfully took the popular Calm Magnesium every night per my nutritionist’s direction. When my online wellness shopping club introduced MelaOut a short while ago— being the hopeless, trusting fan of my club that I am, I switched immediately.

The decision was easy because I understand the Oligo technology used with the minerals in their supplements; I knew I would be getting much more magnesium than before. Ten times more magnesium in proven studies. About two weeks ago I began drinking a glass of Melaout daily.

𝙒𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙊𝙪𝙩, 𝙄 𝙣𝙤𝙩𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙙 𝙨𝙞𝙜𝙣𝙞𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙙𝙞𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙨𝙩 𝙬𝙚𝙚𝙠:

• my blood (dystolic) pressure dropped 20-30 points.  No other healthy habit had helped for about five years.
• my night time leg cramps (which are often due to poor calcium intake or dehydration – but not my issue) STOPPED. 
• Too much information, I know, but my colon was no longer irritated (from Calm).

So many supplements on the store shelf are not worth their money!  (I have stories!) If my wellness shopping  club cannot do something better for a reasonable price— they just don’t do it.  I’m glad they figured this one out.

For your homework:
Low magnesium levels make vitamin D ineffective – https://www.sciencedaily.com/rel…/2018/02/180226122548.htm

“widespread magnesium deficiency is contributing to an epidemic of heart attack and stroke deaths” https://www.lifeextension.com/…/americans-magnesium…

According to Dr. Mark Hyman:
You might be magnesium deficient if you have any of the following symptoms: Muscle cramps or twitches; Insomnia; Irritability; Sensitivity to loud noises; Anxiety; Autism; ADD; Palpitations; Angina; Constipation; Anal spasms; Headaches; Migraines; Fibromyalgia; Chronic fatigue; Asthma; Kidney stones; Diabetes; Obesity; Osteoporosis; High blood pressure; PMS; Menstrual cramps; Irritable bladder; Irritable bowel syndrome; Reflux; Trouble swallowing.

Sugar: The Dose Makes The Poison

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

300 years ago, the average person ate about five pounds of sugar per year. Today, the average person consumes nearly 200 lbs of sugar per year! At that dose, sugar is considered toxic. It can cause: Diabetes; Increased Inflammation; Heart Disease and Cancer. Since I’ve been having to watch my sugar intake, I’ve been reading labels and counting grams of sugar in anything and everything I purchase.

Did you know that plain, unflavored yogurt has about 9 grams of naturally occurring milk sugar, but a store bought vanilla yogurt typically has 30 grams of sugar. The manufacturer of the vanilla yogurt added 21 grams of sugar to give it that sweet vanilla flavor.

But you can make your own.
Buy plain unflavored yogurt (brands like Two Good only contain 2 grams of sugar. Read the labels!)
Add one teaspoon of real maple syrup and a few drops of vanilla extract.
Total sugar will be between 13 – 15 grams, less than half the store bought version.

Manufacturers add sugar because it is a cheap filler and they know it helps to addict you to their products!

Look at this comparison to the sugar in different products, I was amazed to see the levels of sugar!

Shop wisely for your health.  We got this.

Add Nuts to Your Diet

They are a nutritionally rich food! They are one of the main sources of Alpha Linolenic Acids or ALAs, an omega 3 essential fatty acid. ALA’s offer a range of health benefits from reducing rheumatoid arthritis to protecting against dementia and Alzheimer’s.

Nuts also contain unsaturated fat. This type of fat is linked to protection against heart disease.

But they are high in fat and calories, so moderation is key. Just one serving a day is all you need!

One study found that participants burned 28% more calories after a meal containing walnuts than a meal containing fat from dairy sources. In other words, healthy fat can burn fat!

Some notes about “Keto Friendly”

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

There is a lot to be said about the Keto diet and many store bought items are being marketed as “Keto Friendly”. But be careful purchasing anything listed as “Keto Friendly.”

Why? Because Keto is based on high fat, high protein and many of the foods and food combinations offered in the store are designed purely to get fat grams in the body without any carbs.

For example, most nuts they recommend contain a high calorie to fat ratio and contain very little protein, such as macadamia nuts, hazelnuts, cashews, and pistachios. It’s best to take this snack list in moderation to avoid going into ketoacidosis.

R3 is based on healthy food, learning to adopt clean, healthy, non-emotional eating. R3 allows you to eat many of the snacks listed below in moderation and make certain you are getting your daily protein.

Shopping Stress

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Definitely not enough staff in the stores these days, but the managers tell me that they cannot find people to hire so……who knows? I shop at three different stores for what is on sale, so I often make three trips, I can do that because I have a car.  If another store offers a special price on one of my staple items, I may need to make a fourth store visit. 

But when I shop for my cleaners, personal care items, vitamins supplements), I head to my online wholesale shopping club  as it has the best quality and  prices and I don’t have to drive. Plus, I now get my beef from this club too!  I order online and it is delivered right to my door.  

What do I get?
I get hormone-free, antibiotic-free, grass-fed, premium beef.. 
Non-toxic, safe, effective cleaners and high-quality personal care items.
Effective high-absorption supplements, snacks and superfoods.
All with amazing customer service.
Am I grateful? YES! YES! YES!

Can’t beat beets

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Beets are known as a Superfood because they offer a winning combination of being rich in nutrients, low in calories, and high in antioxidants.

Beets contain…..

• Manganese, Folate, Vitamin B2 and Potassium, which help support healthy bone and muscle.

• Betaine, an antioxidant, prevents cell damage which can strengthen your fight against cancer, heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes. This is what gives beets their red color!

• Beta Carotine, which helps to support eye health and prevent eye disease. This is found in the beet greens!

Plus, beets have an anti-inflammatory effect that may reduce your risk for cognitive decline. Research shows that drinking beetroot juice may help boost your levels of hemoglobin, a type of cell responsible for transporting oxygen throughout the body.

When buying beets, look for tender ones that are medium size. And be sure you buy them with the stalks!

An Ounce of Prevention…

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Prevention has always been my passion in sharing my wellness journey but I just had to learn how to share it.
Well, I’m sharing now since I lost nearly 100 pounds and my health markers are on point. I’ve been on this healthy prevention journey close to 20 years. Proof is in the blood and my health markers are remarkable. They are even better since I joined the R3 Challenge last June. Prior to 2004, I did nothing to improve my health I was pretty healthy overall. .My bloodwork was fine, so I had allergies and asthma, but they were under control.

Some of you may know know that Dr. John Folts, BSEE, MS, PhD. Professor of Medicine and Nutritional Science, Director of Coronary Thrombosis Research and Vascular Biology at The University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin studied for forty-four years of what he called “fun research” in cardiology. He introduced Provex CV to my online shopping club years ago. Provex CV which is one of those life changing products that does a whole lot more than an “aspirin a day”.ProvexCV delivers a powerful and diverse dose of polyphenols for unparalleled antioxidant protection, optimal cardiovascular health, and a healthy immune response!

I Googled this below and thought of sharing it with those that are healthy now (me included):

“Seemingly healthy people are “suddenly” having heart attacks because, as it turns out, their arteries are not perfectly healthy and they don’t know it. With the proper noninvasive tests, these diseased arteries would have been identified, and the heart attacks wouldn’t have happened.”— April 22, 2019

I believe taking ProvexCV is what has kept my blood pressure at super healthy levels and my heart in good shape. I wouldn’t be without it!
