Car or you?

Which do you pay more attention to -- routine maintenance of your car or of yourself? 

Oil changes, tune-ups, new belts.....we all know the consequences of ignoring these necessities.

But, too often we ignore our body's warning signals that something is wrong:  fatigue, poor resistance to colds & flu, frequent headaches, memory loss, freedom of motion problems, sinus problems, allergies, bruise easily, bleeding gums, cold hands and feet, dry rough skin, frequent use of antibiotics ......the list goes on and on.

According to a USA Today article, men often disappear from the doctor records around age 18 and don't show up again until they are in their 40's and 50's having some health challenges. 

I encourage you to:
1.  Get a complete blood profile done and HEED the areas that are out of whack. 
2.  Fill in the gaps with AT LEAST a good multi-vitamin. 
Remember:  We are fearfully and wonderfully made.  The body responds to good nutrition. 
Be sure to get a multi-vitamin that has solid research (not hype) behind it.  Look for a multi that is backed by research that has been published in peer-reviewed journals... independent of the company. 
That's why we recommend Shaklee products.  The products have been proven to do what they are purported to do. 
My favorite is the daily vitamin strip.  Some of my friends use the $12 a month multi.

Trudy Bledsoe, Making a Difference....One Persons at a Time

Healthy Weight Loss

Before

Losing weight can be as simple as it is difficult.  We get that.  

On most diets, you lose fat AND muscle.  When you lose muscle, you lose your ability to burn fat and your metabolism drops. 

Muscle = Metabolism 

When you go off your diet, you can't burn calories like you did before.  So, you gain weight back.   Repeat with the next diet.  The yo-yo effect. 

So, what is the key to successfully losing weight and maintaining muscle? 

Go with a proven plan that is not hype but is based on science.  And go with a company that has a proven scientific track record. 

After

Julie has lost 115 pounds and 59 inches in a year using this safe method......and most of the time, she was doing the "partial plan".  She went from losing 2 1/2 pounds per month to losing an average of 10 pounds per month for the next year.  In short, she quadrupled her rate of loss by incorporating this safe plan. 

In the clinical trials, this nutrition program was shown to help retain 100% of lean muscle mass.  People in the program lost fat, weight, and inches while RETAINING their lean muscle.   

Julie says, "With this plan, I learned to live ... not limit." 

The pic with red top was taken in April 2011.  The pic in black dress was taken in April 2012.  

For more info on how the program works, contact me. 

You have nothing to lose ......   but inches and weight.

UPDATE:   Julie has now lost 130 pounds and 65 inches and is keeping it off :-) 

Doesn't old age just naturally creep up on us?

"Old age never creeps up on anyone. In spite of the fallacious ideas of those who are approaching the golden years of a productive life, old age is not lurking in the background. There is no use looking over your shoulder in fear of its approach. Old age is not approaching you from the rear. It is somewhere out there in the future. Neither is it a fixed quantity or entity which you can give the distinction of being. Old age is only a mythical state of being, arbitrarily invented by your own process of mind. Haven't you seen individuals who were old at forty, while others are young at eighty?

Old age, then, is a combination of mental attitude and physical wellbeing. Either one may be in the plus or in the minus column of your life's ledger. Regardless of the column in which it appears, you are responsible for its appearance there. And you CAN make new entries in that ledger regardless of your age. All you have to do is start living the NUTRITIONAL WAY TO HEALTH."  

Well said by Dr. Forrest C. Shaklee.

Here's the product that I take.  It addresses anti-aging at the cellular level. 

Will proper food postpone the appearance of old age?

"You ARE what you eat." It's that simple. so, why not eat the best foods obtainable?

Your body is constructed of natural nutritional elements. All inorganic, unnatural substances are just excess baggage. Such excess baggage may become the breeding ground of disease. Are you willing to risk such a calamitous adversity?
To have youthful expression, provide your body with building material that will assure youthful vigor and strength in your tissue cells.

Remember: Cells give Clues. 
 

Here is a clinically proven product that I use.   It addresses aging at the cellular level.  

Government's Database for Household Cleaners & Toxins

Time to take inventory to see if what you are using in your home could be causing health challenges for you and your family.  In my case, switching to non-toxic cleaners was a key component to getting my allergies under control. 

Are you aware that the government must post a public record of TOXINS in cleaning products?  

Check it out - simply enter the name of a cleaner that you use in your home and see the ingredients, toxic effects, etc.  

Household Products Database 

Decide to make a change that benefits you and your family.   I did.   

And, if you need more proof, check out this video called "Toxic Brew". 

You might decide to spring clean by taking a big garbage bag and gathering up all the toxic cleaners in your home and getting rid of them.   

Here are the non-toxic, concentrated cleaners that I use.....and I SAVE MONEY by using them.  A little goes a long ways.    GET CLEAN.

April Fools' Day Health Tip

Today, a client came into my office (for the 5th time this week) and asked, "Can you help me?  I have a cough that will not let up.  I have tried everything!"

Considering the fact that he has been a thorn in my flesh for the past 3 years, I decided that it was time to be very honest with him.

I said, "Try Herb Lax.  This is good for everything!" 

He paid for it, coughed his way out the door, climbed into his 18-wheeler, and drove off. 

About 6 hours later, I got a call from him.  He said, "It worked!  I am AFRAID  to cough!"

Do you really believe that story?

Got ya!  April Fools!

Having fun!

P.S.  Herb Lax is gentle formula that really works.  Check it out.    

Hot Dogs

Kids love them!  But, if you are attempting to get protein from healthy sources, then hot dogs are not the way to go. 

Ounce per ounce, most regular hot dogs have more fat than ground beef.

However, if you should choose to consume an occasional hot dog,  be sure to cook it thoroughly.  Uncooked hot dogs have been implicated in listeria infections.  Listeria usually causes flu-like symptoms, but it can be deadly to fetuses and to people with weak immune systems.  Listeria causes about 450 deaths a year and 100 stillbirths.
