Using a safer budget-friendly sunscreen

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Most people seem to think that sun-screen is only for the warmer, summer months. You know at the beach, playing ball and the rest. But the sun still shines in winter and, if you participate in outdoor snowy sports, the glare from the sun is so much greater than one would think. Plus, many people head to warmer climes to escape the snow and they need to take care of skin
protection as well. There’s never a time you shouldn’t be concerned about sun damage.
Painful sunburns can happen anywhere and at anytime.

So for on-the-go UVA/UVB protection, I grab Sun Shades Sport SPF 50 Sunscreen. Sun Shades Sport features dermatologist-recommended avobenzone and an exclusive natural blend of vitamins and antioxidants. This sunscreen helps protect skin against signs of premature aging and environmental damage for 80 water-resistant minutes and sprays on evenly for protection without feeling sticky or tacky on your skin.

Water-resistant, it protects against harmful UVA and UVB sun rays with quick and complete spray-on coverage.

  • SPF 50
  • Sprays onto the skin in a complete, uniform layer 
  • Feels natural and clean on your skin 

Using a safer alternative that is budget-friendly is what matters most to me

Activate your immune system

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

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!

Health Benefits of Berberine

I lost count how many posts I have seen recently about Ozempic !

Taking it for weightloss can have negative consequences on your health. I actually know a few people who ended up in the hospital from taking it and they’re not diabetic.

What if there was a natural alternative?

Berberine.

Berberine is a compound found in many plants, including European barberry, phellodendron, Oregon grape, goldenseal, and goldthread. These plants have historically been used to treat everything from infection to sores.  

The first traces of berberine being used medicinally are found more than 3000 years ago, when the barberry plant and its relatives were being cultivated in China and South Asia. The stems, leaves, and bark of the plant were used in a variety of ways. Evidence also shows that berberine-containing plants were used in South America, the Middle East, and Europe to treat different conditions.

What are the benefits of Berberine? I’m hearing a lot of things. From being investigated as a treatment for diabetes; lowering blood pressure and cholesterol to polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). 

.One friends doctor put her on these rather than Metformin. Being that I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes, I’m going to give this a try (after discussing with my doctor, of course!) to see if this will be a better alternative for me. In fact, I’m hearing phrases like “Nature’s Ozempic” because it has been shown to lower glucose levels in people with diabetes. Studies show that it helps your body respond better to insulin and prevents your liver from creating more glucose. As a result, people with diabetes may find berberine helps lower their blood sugar levels and help with weight loss..

I found this article from WebMD That goes into more detail about this potential solution:: https://www.webmd.com/diet/berberine-health-benefits

As with any health supplement, it’s best to consult your doctor before you start taking berberine.

THE POWER OF GINGER 

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

I love ginger and I was happy to learn that ginger is a powerhouse of an ingredient, with a 5000-year-old history in Traditional Chinese Medicine as a tool for digestion and fighting inflammation. 

FUN FACTS 

  • Ginger is closely-related to turmeric 
  • It’s among the healthiest spices on the planet and can be used as a fresh ingredient, a dried root, in powder form, or even as an oil or a juice. 
  • The rhizome (which is the underground part of the stem) is the part that is typically harvested and used for cooking spices. Hence the term “ginger root”.
  • The Gingerbread Man is credited to Queen Elizabeth I of England, at a time when ginger was being used in sweet treats. 

BENEFITS OF GINGER 

  • Alleviates nausea
  • It has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.
  • It has been shown to help with pain with osteoarthritis and menstrual cramps.
  • It improves blood sugar and insulin resistance

Whether you use dried or fresh ginger, it’s great for use in broths, soups, and curries. Ginger can also be used in sweets like gingerbread, pumpkin spice, and it can even be candied!

When was the last time your Vitamin D levels were measured?

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

Did you know that when you go in for an annual physical and the doctor runs the normal labs, it does NOT include a test for your Vitamin D?

You have to request it! And you need to know what your levels are!

For a strong immune system, your Vitamin D levels should be at least 60. Your doctor may tell you that as long as it’s at least 20, you’re fine…. but don’t settle for that. That information is antiquated.

if you aren’t sure how much Vitamin D you need to be taking, reach out to me. Let’s chat and I’ll see how I can help!

Do you know how much of your immune system is in your gut?

Five Signs You Are Magnesium Deficient

hayseedscreative's avatar by Leave a comment

There are thirteen essential minerals that must be ingested for proper health. Their deficiency leads to critical health conditions. Magnesium is one of those minerals and 70% – 80% of people are deficient.

  • Sleep Issues — One study found that daily magnesium supplementation for eight weeks helped patients fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and reduce nighttime awakening.
  • Low energy levels — Magnesium plays a crucial role in energy production to fight fatigue and support high energy levels naturally.
  • Mood imbalances — Magnesium helps to manage your stress response system and cortisol levels. Countless studies have shown that magnesium may help treat anxiety and depression better than some pharmaceutical treatments!
  • Muscle cramps and aches — Magnesium helps relieve muscle tension, tightness, and stiffness.
  • High blood pressure — Chronically low levels of magnesium can cause all types of heart health issues, from high blood pressure, to diabetes, and even heart disease.

There are certain attributes you want to look for in a magnesium supplement. You want one that offers MAXIMUM BIOAVAILABILITY and also contains vitamin B6 for absorption. The one I use is a simple powder instead of a capsule and it’s super easy to use. Don’t just grab a bottle off the shelf at the grocery store. This mineral is too important!

I help people set up online shopping accounts so they can break up with Wal-Mart.

Haven’t even been down any of those smelly aisles of cleaning and laundry products in 19 years! All of my essentials, personal, cleaning products including my supplements are delivered right to my door. All clean, good for my home, good for the humans and furbies in my home and good for the environment!

I love this job and this company! can’t wait to tell you about it.

I love Fiberwise!

Who loves Fiberwise!??

This stuff is amazing! I call it my “flat belly drink” because it has helped me with bloating so much.

Sometimes I take it in the mornings, and other days in the evening or before bed.

I love that with 15g of fiber per serving, it’s good for my heart health and also helps me feel full and satisfied.

Plus it keeps my digestive system happy and functioning properly.

How has Fiberwise helped you?
