Aspirin tips

If you take an aspirin every day, it’s best to take it at night. The reason: aspirin has a “half-span” of 24 hours. So if most heart attacks happen in the morning, the aspirin in your body will be at its peak then.

Aspirins can last for many years in your small home pharmacy, but not really because as they get older they smell like vinegar.

Why keep aspirin on your bedside table?

Besides pain in the left arm, there are other symptoms that indicate a heart attack:

  • Intense pain in the chin and jaw 
  • Nausea 
  • Heavy sweating

Note: In a heart attack it is possible that you have NO chest pain.

If you ever wake up to intense chest pains…

  • Immediately swallow two aspirins with a little water
  • Call 911 and say “heart attack”! Also mention that you took two aspirin
  • Sit on a chair by the front door and wait for rescue

DO NOT LAY DOWN!”

You Might Want To Check Your MultiVitamin’s Ingredients 

I read this write up from a well respected international nutritionist and I found it fascinating:

“The best kept secret in nutrition has been kept under wraps for over 70 years. 

This is it:
MINERALS ARE THE SPARK of LIFE and ARE EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN VITAMINS.

Every single cell relies on life-sustaining minerals for numerous bodily functions. And there are over seventy trillion cells in the human body, each one acting like a catalyst to keep your biological battery going and help it hold a charge.

If your multivitamin doesn’t include vital trace minerals like molybdenum, manganese, and boron, it’s not supporting your body—it’s depleting your life force. Those ingredients are the missing links to the detox, hormone, and bone pathways that are under daily attack in our toxic world.

Molybdenum: A cellular purifier. It detoxifies aldehydes (byproducts of yeast, alcohol, and petrochemicals) and clears sulfur buildup that can tank your energy. If you have candida, migraines, or sluggish detox — you need this.

Manganese: Absolutely vital for pituitary support, antioxidant defense, and strong bones. Most multis leave this out entirely — a major oversight for women over 40.

Boron: The hormone and bone builder. This powerful trace mineral boosts estrogen and testosterone metabolism, helps activate vitamin D, and improves calcium-magnesium balance. 

Translation? Smoother hormones, stronger bones, sharper mind.

You won’t find these in your average drugstore formula. But they’re foundational for lasting health, graceful aging, and resilient detox pathways.
I’ve watched fads come and go—but what never changes is the need for real nutrients in the right forms that your body can actually absorb.”

This information made me go check my multivitamin. Yep… I’m good!

Checking all the health boxes…

Did you know most of our food today is empty of nutrients? Even when we try to eat healthy… our soil is depleted, and our bodies aren’t getting what they need to thrive. That’s why quality supplements are a MUST for everyone!

But remember, you can’t just use any supplement… you need ones that are:

✅ High absorption (so your body can actually use them!)

✅ Made with clean, high-quality ingredients.

✅ Affordable.

✅ Shipped directly from the manufacturer..(No middleman = better value)

Without proper nutrients, our bodies break down, but with the right support, we can:

• Reduce inflammation,

• Strengthen immunity,

• Boost energy,

• Sharpen focus and…

• support every system in the body!

I’m so grateful I found a brand that checks ALL the boxes.

Don’t you think you should check yours today?

Fibromyalgia 

Fibromyalgia 

Fibromyalgia is a condition that causes pain, fatigue, and tender points around the body. It can cause sleep, memory, and mood issues. It can be hard to diagnose and treat because it has symptoms that are very similar to other conditions.
The exact causes of these changes are unknown, but the following elements are thought to contribute to fibromyalgia:

  • Genetics. Certain gene mutations can put people at a greater risk for this condition.
  • Infections. Certain illnesses seem to trigger or worsen fibromyalgia. Viral infections like Epstein-Barr or infections like Lyme Disease can lead to it.
  • Stressful Physical or Emotional Events. Serious injuries, giving birth, the breakdown of a relationship, emotional trauma are just a few of the life events that can trigger fibromyalgia.

How To Fight Fibromyalgia

Fibromyalgia often requires extra nutrition from other sources than our food. Proper supplementation with the following taken daily cam make a huge difference:

  • Magnesium with Vitamin B6
  • Vitamin D (5000 IU/daily)
  • Vitamin K2/D3
  • CoQ10
  • Vitamin B12 (methylated)
  • Melatonin

Certain Essential Oils that can also be beneficial:

  • Lavendar Oil – Relieves stress
  • Peppermint Oil – Relaxes muscles and improves mental stimulation
  • Sandalwood Oil – Helps with inflammation
  • Eucalyptus Oil – Decongestant and anti-inflammatory
  • Nutmeg Oil – Reduces pain and improves indigestion
  • Ginger Oil – Improves digestion

D you use supplements?

Many people buy supplements from Amazon or local drug stores without knowing where they come from, how they’re made, or if they even absorb properly! Quality and absorption are key to whether your supplements actually work as intended.

Here’s my story with Peak Performance supplements: I have an autoimmune disease, lung issues, and blood sugar concerns. But I no rarely take any pharmaceutical products! I made the right lifestyle changes and now use supplements that are clinically tested with advanced absorption technology.

Guess what? I put them to the test—when I stopped taking them for a few weeks, my symptoms started to return in full force.

Now, I only get my supplements directly from the manufacturer—fresh, high-quality, and at an affordable price. What could be better than that?

I’m upping my protein intake

I’m adding a little over 40 g for breakfast using Strawberry ProFlex Pro and the Collagen Boost. I’m aiming for 140 g of protein, a day! I know this is a great way to start my day while giving me a great start on my daily Protein consumption.

I buy the two products at the Wellness Store—yep, my Online Shopping Club, the same store where I buy my cleaning, laundry, skin care, hair care makeup, toothpaste and more. They manufacture all of our daily household essentials! No harmful chemicals! I love that this company doesn’t have a big storage warehouse or things are sitting on shelves for months and years. It’s fresh and shipped to my door straight from them within three days of placing my order!

Happy Valentines Day!

This is a day that is often filled with roses, cards and CHOCOLATE!

Believe it or not, dark chocolate is a heart-healthy choice (when not loaded up with sugar and saturated fat). Combine it with almonds and it gets even healthier because almonds can help reduce blood clots. When enjoyed in moderation, studies show that Dark Chocolate can be a heart healthy choice.

Dark Chocolate can help in:

  • Making platelets in the blood less sticky and able to create clots, which can cause heart attack or stroke.
  • Processing nitric oxide, which helps improve blood flow throughout the body, including the brain.
  • Lowering the risk of insulin resistance, which reduces the risk of diabetes.
  • Controlling chronic inflammation, which can lead to heart disease..

Keep in mind the higher the percentage of cocoa, the greater the amount of flavanols, but also the greater the bitter flavor. Just a bite or so a day is all you need to reap the cardiovascular benefits.

USA Made

I buy American-made products wherever and whenever I can. I am thankful that I found an American brand manufactured right here in
the good ol’ U S of A! Every family I can switch to this online American manufacturer. Think about it — switching to American-made is a victory
for our economy, workers and their families.

Plus you know that there ia no child labor, no harmful toxins, and most of all no supporting countries that don’t like us.
