Play Like A Child 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

What comes to mind when you think of exercise?

  • Working out with weights?
  • Getting on the treadmill machine?
  • Riding that new Peloton you got for Christmas

Studies show that when we step beyond the indoor workouts and step outside into nature’s playground, our serotonin levels rise! So as you plan your exercise schedule, be sure you work in activities that take you outside:

  • Hiking 
  • Walking
  • Running 

When we breathe in that air, when we let the sun shine on our faces, we are waking up our senses. Something truly amazing happens when we allow ourselves to play:

More of our bodies wake up! 

Be sure you get out and walk today!

Activate your immune system

Who all has been sick with this recent wave of respiratory grossness?
It is so inconvenient!
We lose precious time with family or have to burn up PTO with sick days!
I hate that.

Recently, I heard from a friend who also shops at the same Wellness Company online shopping club.
She has found a plan that works for her and swears by it:

“I boost my immune system often, especially in times when I travel or am with a large groups of people.
In recent weeks, we’ve gone on a trip; had a wedding; attended several holiday gatherings; and attended an amazing retreat with some precious women.
The last thing I want is to worry about getting sick.
This supplement has been my go-to for years! I’ve only had an antibiotic for a painful earache in the past twenty years.
I surge my body when needed and roll on this ARMOR blend (like the biblical thieves blend) to ward off germs.
It’s a MUST HAVE, year-round, for your medicine cabinet.”

What do you do to boost your immune system?

Do you need a Collagen boost?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

After losing a lot of weight I felt like my skin was all “wrinkly and saggy”. Well, it probably was being stretched out so much from all those years of
carrying excess poundage!

Then, I tried this new collagen recommended to me and found in my online shopping club. With its 90 days money back guarantee, I figured what could I lose? It worked. I personally feel tremendous difference in my skin and joints.

Read on to see a great testimonial from a professional and see what the hype is all about with his amazing wellness online shopping club:

Love, love our collagen!
Hello everyone! I’m a PT by profession. I have tried five or more different collagen brands in the past three years, from the cheapest to the most expensive one in the market. I was using the most expensive one when i injured my right knee. I’ve had issues on my right knee for years. I cant run, indian sit, etc. I twisted my knee six weeks prior to launch of Vitality Collagen Boost. My knee was getting better but not well. It still swells if I am on my feet more than two hours. Two days after taking this collagen, swelling was minimal at the end of the day (not two hours). My pain went down from five out of ten to two out of ten. After one week of taking daily collagen, my knee was back to normal. Two weeks after tha,t I injured my left knee the same way as I had injured my right knee. It took three days and it was well. Needless to say, I just opened my third bootle. I was able to run last week for ten minutes! I canals run up and down stairs now. Amazing product! I added Mela-Out two or three times per week and take Replenex daily. My conclusion, this is the best collagen in the market. Adding to that, the benefits i have seen on my skin, hair and nails, compared to that expensive collagen i was using for almost one year.

Her results are outstanding and other uses are sharing similar results.
I know my wrinkly, baggy skin is doing much better and soon will look “normal” again. If you have aging skin issues, I encourage you to try it for yourself. I’ll bet you fall in love with this collagen too!

Let’s celebrate the honey bee!

I did not know this. I have local honey in my tea and I always used a metal spoon.

Did you know that one of the world’s first coins had a bee symbol?

Did you know that honey contains live enzymes?
Did you know that in contact with a metal spoon, these enzymes die? The best way to eat honey is with a wooden spoon; if you can’t find one, use a plastic spoon.

Did you know that honey contains a substance that helps the brain work better?

Did you know that honey is one of the few foods on earth that alone can sustain human life?

Did you know that bees saved people from starvation in Africa?

That a spoonful of honey is enough to keep a man alive for 24 hours?

Did you know that propolis produced by bees is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics?

Did you know that honey has no expiry date?

Did you know that the bodies of the world’s greatest emperors were buried in gold coffins, then covered in honey to prevent putrefaction?

Did you know that the term “Honeymoon” (honeymoon) comes from the fact that the bride and groom consumed honey for fertility after their marriage?

Did you know that a bee lives less than 40 days, visits at least 1000 flowers and produces less than a teaspoon of honey, but for her it is the work of a lifetime.

Thank you precious bees!

Weight Gain and Cancer 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

As i enter the Reintroduce phase of R3, I’ve been thinking about how diet impacts how efficiently we can manage our weight, but it is also directly linked to cancer prevention. Research shows that the higher the body mass index, the higher the risk of getting cancer.

In one of the largest studies ever done, analyzing over five million people, scientists concluded that gaining as little as 34 pounds can increase the risk of getting kidney, liver, or gallbladder cancer by 10%. The simple reason is that body fat is linked to creating hormones that increase inflammation in the body, and ultimately tumor cell growth. 

So as we are still following our 2024 goals, I decided to follow these recommendations:

  • I’m giving some thought NOW as to what PHYSICAL goals I am like to setting for 2024
  • I’m going to keep those goals in mind to help motivate me through the upcoming months

I truly believe R3 is great lifestyle plan to help lose weight and keep it off for a lifetime!

Healthy Kitchen Tip 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

If you take a quick glance in the fridge and under the counter, do you see tons of Tupperware and plastic containers?

Plastic containers are convenient and inexpensive, but their potential to be health-harming cannot be overstated. The major problem with plastic is that it’s been shown in studies to leach chemicals into food and drinks. The leaching effect is even greater if heat is added to the equation (like microwaving food in plastic). These chemicals that leach out into the food you eat are linked to metabolic disorders, reduced fertility, and obesity. 

BPA (short for bisphenol A) is probably the most well-known toxin in plastic. It has estrogenic activity and can cause hormonal issues, even with low-level exposure. Unfortunately, BPA-free plastic doesn’t get you off the hook because replacements for BPA have shown equal and sometimes worse effects.

So consider switching everything over to glass containers. It’s long lasting and you won’t have all those misplaced plastic tops and bottoms that haunt those of us who like to be organized!
