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.

Sometimes, it’s about what you are avoiding instead of what you are consuming.

The gold standard to personalizing your diet is to eliminate certain foods like gluten, dairy, wheat, nightshades, eggs, sugar etc for 21 days. Then on day 22, start adding one food at a time. Have it for a couple of days, wait 24 hours, and see how you feel.

It’s not easy, but sometimes it’s the best way for you to find answers to why you don’t feel well.

Dishwasher Duo

I often take this magical duo for granted. In fact, I use it every single day…and surprisingly, I don’t share it very often…and that’s just not fair,

This dishwasher duo is powered with natural enzymes; contains no formaldehyde; has no chlorine; no parabens; no phthalates and no chlorine. Making it healthier for you and safer for your home.

BLUEBERRIES! 

I love blueberries, What’s not to love? They are full of Calcium, Antioxidants, Flavonoids, Anthocyanins,…. blueberries and we should have one serving of them every day!

Did you know that there was a study conducted by the Journal of Nutrition, which showed that the consumption of blueberries on a daily basis could profoundly reduce inflammation?

It’s been proven throughout various forms of research that eating a handful of berries, especially blueberries will help to reduce inflammation throughout your body, which is great for individuals who suffer from joint issues and arthritis. Eating blueberries will help you to age with grace because of the inflammatory properties they have in them. 

This is a food that we can indulge in!

Food labeling is confusing.

Do not be deceived!

When orange juice says it’s non-GMO, please recognize that all oranges are non-GMO. The only potential GMO products in the USA are papaya, corn, alfalfa, soybeans, cotton, potatoes, squash, canola, sugar beets, and apples.

When organic milk is labeled antibiotic free, remember that all dairy products, including milk, are always antibiotic free. Same applies to meat.

Those bananas advertised as cholesterol free? That’s because all bananas are cholesterol free.

When a jar of peanuts says it is made in a plant that processes peanuts— use your common sense and roll your eyes.

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

Online shopping club

Does this sound familiar?

*Jump in your car and fight traffic to drive to Walmart/ Target/ Costco etc..

*Fight for a parking spot.

*You grab the cart with the squeaky wheel.

*Your list of 10 items turns into a cartful of 20 items!

*You deal with the kids screaming , “I want, I want!”

*You get in the checkout line that seems to NEVER move!

*Pack the car back up….drive home….bring the bags in…and then…..you realize you forgot to get what you went to the store for in the first place!

And let’s not forget the insane prices of everything!!
