Enough for now, I will continue tomorrow. Reviewing this material has really helped me to become so much more aware of how my body is feeling. When I suddenly recognize a condition such as fatigue, low energy, moodiness, irritability, upset stomach, headache or even muscle cramps, I immediately think about the foods I have eaten and what I might be missing. Our bodies respond so quickly when we provide the right nutrients and suddenly what ever ailments we were experiencing are healed. Our diet and nutritional intake is our prescription to natural healing. No more popping pills to, convenience store foods, shelf life frozen isle foods, packaged preservative foods for quick temporary solutions. Start making the time to prepare your meals and snacks for your day and don't forget to take bottled water with you.

All the information I have shared here with everyone comes from "PRESCRIPTION FOR NUTRITIONAL HEALING" by Phyllis A. Balch. Everyone should have this book in their homes for the betterment of their families and natural healing solutions and preventative care.

MEN AND THEIR WELLBEING

There was an unfortunate incident that occurred at my husbands place of work this past weekend. A gentleman who was only 36 experienced a heart attack. It was also brought to my attention that there was a history of heart disease in his family. Knowing how stressful things are these days with finances and job security, I immediately started to wonder if he had a wife, kids, mortgage, bills, or anyone else he could be responsible for taking care of (like a disabled parent or grandparent)? Aside from all the obligations, the heart attack did not take his life. I do know that whoever is in his life is celebrating him getting a second chance to living a better life.
A couple of days ago I wrote about the health concerns for women and now today I want to bring some awareness to the:

TOP 5 HEALTH CONCERNS FOR MEN:

1. HEART DISEASE
2. STROKE
3. SUICIDE
4. PROSTATE CANCER
5. LUNG CANCER

High blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, and diabetes are three of the conditions that we have to look out for and manage. Stress also puts a lot of pressure on our mind and body in which also leads to affecting our heart. Again, as I suggested in an earlier post, research your family's health history. Knowing if there is a genetic disposition or risk of inheriting a health condition could save your life or at least prolong your stay here on earth with family and friends. Men are stereotyped as the "Bread Winner", "Money Maker", "Protector & Provider", "Decision Maker", and if they are not living up to these titles then they are a "LOSER". With this type of weight bestowed upon them, it's no wonder they have such a high risk of STROKE and SUICIDE. Pressure like this on ones mind is not normal or healthy to live with, I know I wouldn't want it. Then there is this one, "men don't cry", "if you're a man you just keep it to yourself, no need to talk about it", "the guys will think I am weak if I try confiding with them". I wish they would understand what a world of difference it makes to be able to cry, talk about it and confide in a friend, it is just about the best way to relieve built up stress and not to mention possibly save a life.
Then there is eating the right kind of diet to stay healthy and strong. I feel like men just take it for granted that they are bigger and stronger naturally so why worry so much about proper nutrition. Lift weights, eat steak and potatoes, drink beer, smoke cigarettes is the perfect program to reach heart attack, lung cancer, prostate cancer, stroke and suicide status. Not so much what we really want to acquire. Eating a well balanced diet, high in green leafy vegetables, fruits, lean meats (poultry, fish, turkey), whole grains, water, vitamins/supplements and exercise every day will help men manage optimal heart health, cardiopulmonary health, better blood circulation, mental wellness, physical (bones and muscles) wellness. If men are going to bare the weight of "Money Maker", "Protector & Provider", "Decision Maker" and "Bread Winner" then also do what it takes to maintain bodily strength, mental stability and wellness so that the ones who are depending on you won't receive the devastating phone call saying, "ma'am your husband just had a heart attack". Be pro-active in your state of well being, regular check ups, changing unhealthy habits, learning how to cope with stress or manage stress, and begin to have the desire to be a HealthyLiving4HappyLife person.
May your day be blessed and may you bless someone today :)

SUNDAY~DAY OF GRATITUDE

Good Morning to ALL,

I have decided to dedicate this day, every Sunday, for a "Day of Gratitude".
The definition of GRATITUDE is:

• thankful appreciation for favors or benefits received.

My idea is this, making a list of all the things that I am grateful and thankful for. Throughout this day I will keep my mind set on positive and thankful thoughts. My goal is also that I will be setting myself up with an ATTITUDE of THANKFULNESS for the coming week. Sunday is a great day to reset our mind by meditating (focusing, concentrating,prayer) on positive thoughts, blessings we've received, being thankful, appreciative, and grateful.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR:

1. good health
2. loving family
3. wonderful husband
4. loving children
   
5. good friends
6. beautiful home
7. a car to drive
8. food and water
   
9. freedom and salvation
10. a good church to go to
    
11. Gods love for me
12. peace in mind
13. joy in heart
14. all that God provides for my family
15. my relationship with God, he'll never leave me
16. my happiness

I know there is more, but I do need to go get ready for a wonderful service at church and joining some wonderful friends in worship. My LOVE to ALL,

WOMEN AND THEIR WELLBEING

Well, now that I am 38 yrs (young) old I am just now acknowledging that the years are really just going to continue to ADD up (hehe, still have to have some humor in all of this growing older stuff). I have begun to take a more serious approach towards "learning" about the biological side of life, the aging process, and inquiring more about health matters within my family tree (mom, grandma, great grandma). When I chose to acknowledge that I was getting closer to the "middle age" group (which still sounds odd to me) I decided I wanted to live with this philosophy:

• "Grow old GRACEFULLY"..........

This meant that I needed to say goodbye to anything that was considered opposite of "PRESERVING LIFE". If I was going to continue to age I wanted to do it with joy, not get older with pain and suffering. So, with that, the idea of giving up some habits that did not contribute to "growing old gracefully" was easier to accept. Of course this all meant that my lifestyle was going to have to change and luckily I was already aware of a few things that were taking a tole on my mind and body. For instance,

• pulling all- nighters with alcohol and party smokes was the first thing that I knew I couldn't do anymore like when I was, oh, between 18-30. Talk about a major delay in recovery, I got to the point where it took me 3 whole days to get back to 100%, I guess my body shutting down was a sign of "HELLO THIS DOESN'T WORK WITH ME ANYMORE" and "YOU NEED TO STOP POISONING ME"!!!

• Another one was mindless and careless eating, I was never a big soda fan, thank goodness, but even the occasional fast food and convenient store diets had to cease immediately. After learning what is really in those types of foods (not even food, try products) and what happens when it is put inside of our bodies made me seriously wonder how it is even LEGAL to sell crap like that. And we wonder why Heart disease is the number ONE KILLER in america, FAST FOOD people.

Now, the real factor that helped me make these adjustments was becoming aware of this FACT:

WOMENS TOP 5 HEALTH CONCERNS:

1. HEART DISEASE
2. BREAST CANCER
3. OSTEOPEROSIS
4. DEPRESSION
5. AUTOIMMUNE DISEASE

So I looked at these top 5 concerns and discovered each one was extremely important to me. My heart, my breasts, my bones, my mind, and my immune system. Looking back over the past 20 years I have been blessed to have experienced great health in these 5 areas. Never hospitalized, never tested positive for any disease, cancer, mental illness, decreased bone density or immune defienciency. Did I mention BLESSED? Now I am aware that some of these health matters can be passed down through generations and is not in everyones control, I am sincerely sympathetic to those who have had an experience with one of these conditions and I continue to pray for our scientists to discover a cure for these ailments.

So, what I try to do is ENCOURAGE people to take a more PREVENTATIVE HEALTH approach towards their ALL AROUND WELLNESS. It might not be the first thing on your mind, but it really should be. Making small changes in our daily routines really do make the biggest differences in the way we think (use our brains), feel (emotionally) and function (body mechanics). Start by making a list of which habits you might have that are not contributing to your wellbeing and replace them with ones that do.

Remember, our body functions at its best when we care for it properly. Excercise, eating well, drinking enough water, getting enough rest/sleep, and vitamin/mineral supplements. Our brain needs carbohydrates (energy to think well), our body needs protein and fats (growth, development and energy), our body needs water (transport nutrients, export toxins, and hydration), and our body needs vitamin/mineral supplements (due to the types of diets like fast food or shelf life preserved foods these lack in vit/mineral, also the injections of antibiotics and hormones in fish, meat and poultry and the soils are being depleted of minerals by the mass production of vegetables). Also, if you are someone who participates in physical activities or strenuous excercise, smoke cigarettes, drink alcohol, stressful occupation, or a health condition then you deffinitely need to take an excellent form of vitamin/mineral supplement.

If you have the desire to live long and live well then please stick with me on this journey of "GROWING OLD GRACEFULLY"

Good Morning to ALL,

O.k., so here is a good question.

"Do you KNOW what the most COMMON causes of DEATH are"? Well, here are the top 4:

1. Heart Disease
2. Stroke
3. Cancer
4. Diabetes

Now I will tell you what the top 4 were in the 1900's:

1. Diphtheria
2. Influenza
3. Tuberculous
4. Pneumonia

There is a BIG problem here. Our technology in medicine has evolved and delivered great success in combating viruses and colds that attack our immune system thus resulting in DEATH. With that, we should be living lovely, but sadly this is not the case. Here in the 21st century we have acquired a new set of causes of death and these are causes resulting from our choosing of lifestyles and genetics. We cannot change our genetic dispositions, we were born with these genes and we will pass with these genes. The smart thing to do, for all of us, is research your family background for any health hazards that pass down through each generation and get regular health screens from your doctor. Now regarding "lifestyles", this is what we do have control over. In terms of health and relating to lifestyles we look at 4 things and these are:

1. Diet
2. Physical activity
3. Stress
4. Environmental exposure

Having this information gives all of us a CHOICE in how we want to live (things we do, where we live), an idea of how long we would like to live (that too isn't totally in our control, but the actions and decisions we make are), and how WELL we live. Making better choices in the type of diet I consume, choosing to be more active, learning how to deal with stress, and doing what I can to protect myself from free radicals in the air and polluted water (antioxidants and water purifiers). If this is what it takes to prevent an experience with a heart attack, stroke, cancer or diabetes then by all means you can count me in. If you are still on the fence about all this and have that attitude of, "if it's my time to go, then it's just my time", then I suggest you take the time to ask someone who has survived cancer, heart failure, obesity or stroke and I guarantee you they will recommend you doing everything you can to bypass those near death experiences.

Nevertheless, sometimes we (humans) will have all the pertinent information, everything we need to know for living long healthy lovely lives and unfortunately we (humans) store all of the important lifesaving information in the dusty files in the back of the cabinet because we don't believe those type of things will happen to us. Well, neither did all the folks who are no longer here with us. I am sure their family members would confirm my point.

If we just shift our perception from a NEGATIVE take on life and start managing our thoughts with POSITIVITY and the BELIEF that we are blessed with good health then we will be more enthusiastic about CARING for ourselves and others. Start by reviewing your daily HABITS and see if you can improve any areas of your lifestyle so that you may become a HEALTHYLIVING4HAPPYLIFE person.

Sometimes we may not know where to start, but if you begin to fill your heart and mind with the DESIRE to LIVE WELL then the answers will surface and appear through the laws of attraction. Meaning you attract what your thoughts are. So remember to remain positive, eat well, get your 15-30 mins. of activity in a day and take your vitamins and supplements to give your body an extra fighting chance to survive. HealthyLiving4HappyLife to everyone today.

HEALTHYLIVING4HAPPYLIFE

HELLO AND A GOOD DAY TO ALL,

"A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings".
--Hippocrates

Hmmm, well, this makes me wonder how many people look at their lives this way.

I want to be wise, I want to consider my health a human blessing, and I want to live a happy life. Well, guess what? I just made my CHOICE. I have CHOSEN an attitude of wisdom and a belief that my health is my greatest blessing.

Our ATTITUDE and our BELIEFS are the foundations to a "HealthyLiving4HappyLife" style. Now, the building blocks come from the understanding of what "good health" requires. Our body is made up of billions of cells and each one has a job to perform, BUT we are responsible for the caring and maintenance of these cells. If you are CARELESS about the wellness of your cell life then you will experience, maybe not today but ONE day, DISEASE inside your body. Dis-ease is your body not at ease with its self, something is wrong. Sometimes we can correct the problem if we are AWARE of something not being right, but most of the time someone who is CARELESS won't recognize any problems until it is too late.

Choosing to be WISE takes an effort on ones behalf and unfortunately in our society we choose to let someone else do the learning and take care of our wrongs and those someones are "Doctors". This should be reversed, we should know, care and learn as much as we can about our BODY so that we do not put ourselves in harms way. Usually we take matters into our own hands and begin to CARE deeply after some near-fatal health condition falls upon us or a disease makes its self a home inside our "one and only" body.

I want to HELP people understand one thing, that "healthyliving" matters 4 a "happylife". I am here to share information with those who are making a consciouse decision in making POSITIVE CHOICES and with an ATTITUDE and BELIEF that they want to live a HEALTHY HAPPY LIFE. Along with A,B,C'S (ATTITUDE, BELIEF, CHOICES) we need to learn how to manage our CELL LIFE WELLNESS. A balanced nutrional diet plus vitamin supplements, exercise or activity one enjoys, proper amount of sleep, water, and healthy relationships. As infants we thrive and develope well with these, now as adults we need to integrate these back into our lives with priority and determination.

HEALTHYLIVING4HAPPYLIFE TO ALL,
SUNNY MILLER
