Today's blog is short and sweet. I am actually enjoying wartching the election results come in from around the country. By the look of some of the incumbants, I should have been handing out B Stress tabs in Washington today.So have a great night, tomorrow we will start with something that is already coming into visible play, ear infections. We need to address it so we can keep the kids, and the adults out of the emergency rooms.So until tomorrow, stay healthy, eat smart, get moving.
Just this week I have received over a dozen e mails from friends letting me know their beloved pets have died. As many of you, if not all of you know I am a pet lover, and I feel they make up a large part of who I am. I have talked about pet nutrition and will again I am sure. We all know about the healing benefits that they have discovered with pets and hospice situations and cancer survivors, as well as retirement homes and trauma victims. So I know of the most wonderful poem, author unknown, that I hope creates a nice thought for the day for all of my friends whom have recently lost their friends, and for those who have over the years lost their best buddies.I guess if you are not a pet person, or you were raised in a way that maybe you have never experienced having a great pet companion, you may not get it or understand, but this will be the day that you do not read my blog, and that's ok with me. But for the large majority of you out there that gets what I am speaking about, here you go, enjoy..This is especially for my buddy Vickie in Olympia Washington..Love ya babe*****************************************************************************************************************Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Author unknown...
Lets talk fat. Not just the stuff we all cover up with clothing and try to conceal, but also the fat inside the body. You know the stuff that floats around and clogs our arteries turning a four lane freeway into a one lane drive way. Also the stuff that builds up around out organs and actually keeps them from doing their job, like the liver. Lets address the best and fastest way to attack that three letter word we all hate so much, FAT!The funny thing is we all act the same way when we are overweight and battling the bulge. We buy clothing and ask the people we are with, not if the like the style or the color, just does it make me look fat. Lets be real, if you are overweight everyone knows it, most people do not care, nor should they, but we have a tendency to remind them by sharing our latest endeavors with the battle over and over and over. Like I said yesterday, just do it , shut up and let them notice. Remember, when you are overweight, no matter what you wear it is not ever going to take it away, you make look great but underneath you are the same. So if it bothers you that much, change something.It is kind of like a man balding, and I can say this because I have been shaving my head for years after I gave up the fight to ever increasing scalp territory. When you comb it over you are not fooling anyone, so why do it, shave it cut it short, it will look better and you actually will look younger. We all need to realize that the biggest battle we have with the bulge is in our own minds, and maybe rather that thinking about it twenty four hours a day, and spending a lot of money trying to cover it up, maybe, just maybe you should get rid of it once and for all.We have talked about the diet and about the exercise requirements. but doing it is a personal and intimate decision you have to have with yourself and really nobody else. So when you do start, there is a nutritional tool that you should consider.It is called Lipotropics. It is a concentrated form of a fat emulsifier that the liver, if it is healthy produces called Lecithin. The Lipotropics stimulates the liver to cleanse itself, and emulsify fats in and around the liver and make it work more efficiently. It lowers cholesterol and raises good healthy cholesterol, as well as helping the brain due to the choline in the base. It is also a non stimulant fat burner, actually one of the originals, before they added harmful stimulants that many people could not use. This product can be used by anyone including not only high cholesterol reduction seekers, but also those looking for help with obesity, memory problems, digestion disorders, fat emulsification in and on the body, cellulite and adipose belly fat buildup, as well as alcoholics and individuals with cirrhosis and hepatitis. There is also another category: those individuals the drink daily, but not to excess and anyone on pain medication or medications that are hard on the liver like statin drugs. The Lipotropics can help to support and overworked and overtaxed liver.
The only requirement is to take a dosage that will suit your many situations. Some people take as many as three to four tablets with every meal. I just recommend lots of water to flush out all of that fat that the Lipotropics loosen. So add this to your cleansing routine, or just bring it in as an addition to your vitamin selection you are already taking, I guarantee it will not let you down. One more thing, when you flush out the bad fats and good fats can then be absorbed correctly, your hair and skin and nails will reflect the difference very quickly.
This is the nicest time of the year here in Las Vegas. Basically right between so hot you can cook an egg on the pavement and need a coat, and turn on the heat. I guess you could say it is our autumn, but with very few trees that show the signs of fall, to look out a window it could be just as easily July or August.It is great time to get back into the walking programs that everyone vacated due to, the greateat excuse ever, it is too hot. Even though the malls and gyms have people walking everyday, some available twenty four hoursbut I digress, we all use whatever excuse we can. I will ask someone during a consultation how much exercise are you getting, and they will say" I was walking before it got too hot", and then in December the same person will say "well now that it is cold out I do not get out very much". You would think we were in Alaska and it was fifty degrees below zero the way people talk.Yet the same person once again will complain, moan and groan, and even cry that they are overweight, or fat however you want to look at it. I will hear it all, the sex life is no good with all this weight,. my blood pressure is up, my cholesterol is high, I have no energy, I cannot fit in my clothes and I am not buying any new clothes. My spouse does not find me attractive, I do not like the way I look or feel, and it is causing me to be depressed, and after all of this conversation I still always hear more of the same. I cannot stop eating that, I need my pasta and rice and bread. I only eat at fast food restaurants because it is convenient, I cannot stop my evening cocktails, I will not give up sodas, I am really not into exercise.So I have come to the conclusion after almost thirty years of listening to every excuse in the book and hearing every scenario, and saying a few of them myself," shut up, and stop complaining about it until you are ready, that day to make a life change". Nobody wants to hear you complain about the same thing at every meal they share with you, or at every function and every event,as well as every upcoming holiday, because after a while we get very tired of listening to it. Believe me, it is not that we do not want you to be successful, we do, but how many" I am starting on Monday" do we have to go through with you before we pull our hair out. If you reflect back, many people make the same New Years resolution every year and has yet to stick to one of them, Sometimes we are maybe 15 pounds over weight when we make the first one, now five years later you could be up to one hundred pounds heavier and still planning the same resolution that will once again not be fullfilled.You know what else we all know you will never do anything about it, and it is like you just want everyone to know you are at least thinking about it. I say this to you "stop talking about your weight and your dieting permanantly, just do it, and then let everyone take notice". Let them come up to you and tell you how happy and wonderful you look, and what are you doing, they have never seen you look so incredible. I guarantee you when you stop talking about it and start living it, it will work, and you and the world will take notice!
Why is it we can be so bad to our bodies by eating trashy fatty foods,we smoke and we drink and give our bodies no rest, we work them into the ground and starve them for nutrition, and over feed and actually put them in a state of malnutrition? The reason, because we can, and in most instances they recover and bounce back and we swear we will never do it again, until one time it doesn't, and then we decide it is time to do everything and anything available to get back our familiar friend we know so well, our run down body.To my utter astonishment people will go to their health food store and unload their list of woes and expect to be able to fix it overnight. They actually think they can rebuild and repair and put back the fountain of youth in a twenty four hour period. They come back a month later and are doing so much better but still cannot imagine that they are not one hundred percent, I usually go through the list of abuses and problems and a realism glow comes over their faces and they then start to get it. They then agree that it will take time, in some instances, a lot of time.The other thing is that being regular about taking the supplements is a very important process.They cannot possibly work if you do not take them. I get so many excuses, I forgot, I skipped lunch, you know any excuse. I always say either take them or don't , but do not expect anything without being consistent. This is as easy as it gets, take them, be patient, and let them do their job.But like I always say you cannot win the lottery if you do not buy a ticket and you cannot benefit from nutrition if you are not consistent.
It was funny today how many e mails I received about going on the 60 day cleanse. Most people decided that if they were as bad as they were on Halloween with their junk eating, that by New Years Day they would be fifteen pounds heavier and even in worst shape.The cleanse is very easy, I have discussed it in previous posts and remember all posts are archived for when you want to refer back to them. So if you are interested in losing up to twenty five pounds by New Years eve, and cleansing out years worth of abuse on and in the body, e mail me and I will send the cleanse off to you and you can begin as soon as tomorrow.Otherwise I will be getting the New Years day coulda should woulda e- mails and then you have an even higher hill to climb. Start now, and by January first, you will be two months in and better than you have been in years.Remember cleansing helps all of the following: mental clarity, obesity, digestion, immune systems, sleep, elimination, the skin, the hair and nails, and these are just a few benefited areas.. So hope to hear from you, and have a friend do it with you, but have them e mail me separately to see if they are committed, not needing to be committed just motivated!
Today's post is addressing nerves and how we usually feel that some people are on our last one on a daily basis. I think most people hit their level of stress and edginess after a shorter period of time these days. Maybe it is because there are so many more things to upset us, or maybe we are all wearing our emotions on our sleeves, and we are just stressed out and burnt out.It could also be the traffic on the way to work, the heavy work load at work, or just way too much on our plates. The funny thing is we have more technology and devices to make our lives easier and faster and more organized, we do eighty percent less physically than our families did even forty years ago, yet we are always running in circles and can never get everything done.I think if we felt better, and had more energy most things would be a little easier to tackle. But in most instances people are so exhausted by the end of the day, the thought of getting a jump on the next day, or finishing projects previously started, or even doing things than could make you feel better like exercising seems out of reach. It really is a catch twenty two, if you came home from work and got caught up, and spent some time management organizing to save time and make your life organized and worked out to feel and look better and worked on your diet to actually be healthier you would be less stressed and feel great. The problem is, most of us are so run down and tired we do not have the energy to get to that stage, even though we know for a fact it could make life easier.I think we need to attack it through nutrition first to get us the energy to get to the next stage. If you are using a multiple vitamin and you do not feel great and have a lot of energy, then you need to switch. I am always amazed at how we jump when products are broken, or services are not done correctly we will complain and yell and scream, but we feel awful and do nothing about it, we just accept it. Do not accept mediocrity in your supplementation, if you do not feel great try another. This is the reason I have always stayed with Great Earth, they work, the potency and formulas are hands down better than what is available, and you feel them.So first, get a strong multiple vitamin, add a B complex for stress and energy, then add minerals at night so you can shut down and sleep and repair. If sleep is a problem add a good quality melatoinin and some Valarian root. Remember how you sleep is more important than if you sleep.Going through the motions without shutting down you body and brain cannot recharge you for the next day. If you always feel as if you got no sleep at all how can you possibly be able to be at your best the next day? One more thing loading up with a triple expresso does not take the place of anything, it is a bandaid, a good tasting one at that but still a cover up. Have you coffee that's ok, but build your system up and solve the problem.We all need to become problem solvers not band aid Doctors.
