Heart Health and MORE

Posted inAntioxidant, HealthNo Comments

Do you sometimes hear about supplements…and not really understand their function? I do and often will do some research—rather than just jump on the bandwagon and assume I need that particular supplement. I have heard about CoQ-10 for a long time and vaguely knew it had something to do with the heart, but recently I decided I needed to know more.

Mayo Clinic gives this explanation of CoQ-10:

Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is an antioxidant that is made in the human body. CoQ10 is needed for basic cell function. CoQ10 levels decrease with age and may be low in people with cancer, certain genetic disorders, diabetes, heart conditions, HIV/AIDS, muscular dystrophies, and Parkinson’s disease. Some prescription drugs may also lower CoQ10 levels.

Do You Eat Even When Not Hungry?

Posted inDiet, HealthNo Comments

We love our food!! We eat to maintain and support our bodies, but some of us eat even when we are not hungry. Or we eat when we are hungry and never stop until we are stuffed.

Overeating can lead to weight gain and obesity, but there are so many other risks associated with overeating. It can lead to Type 2 Diabetes. Web MD says Type 2 Diabetes means your body cannot use insulin correctly and this makes your blood sugar levels harder to control. If left untreated, this can lead to other problems like damage to your kidneys, your eyes and your heart.

Then consider depression and anxiety. Often overweight people suffer with these. Are they bought on by overeating and being overweight….or does the depression or anxiety cause a person to continue eating way past the full signal? Either way, the extra pounds are just not good for your body!

I am sometimes amazed that Lisa Diane can take what seems so simple and make us understand how we can drastically change our lives by doing that one simple thing. Read on and “Change Your Life Forever”.

I saw this sign today…

“Objects in the mirror may appear closer than they actually are…”

As soon as I read it, it was like one of those “a-ha” moments… like finding a secret hidden message in plain sight.

You CAN Change Your Life

There’s an old saying– and we hear it A LOT in the personal development world…

PERCEPTION IS REALITY

You may or may not agree. But today I was reminded of a funny story from my life that I wanted to share with you…Back with my son was younger we had two dogs.

Max– a golden retriever

and Chumley– a black Chow Chow.

I loved them both very much. And I’d say they both pretty much lived up to what most people expect from their breed.

THE MAGIC BANK ACCOUNT

Posted inDreams, Gratitude, HappinessNo Comments

THE AUTHOR IS NOT KNOWN. IT WAS FOUND IN THE BILLFOLD OF COACH PAUL BEAR BRYANT, ALABAMA, AFTER HE DIED IN 1982

Imagine that you had won the following *PRIZE* in a contest:

 Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400 in your private account for your use. However, this prize has Rules:

The set of Rules:
1. Everything that you didn’t spend during each day would be taken away from you.
2. You may not simply transfer money into some other account.
3. You may only spend It.
4. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with    another $86,400 for that day.
5. The bank can end the game without warning; at any time, it can say, “Game Over!” It can close the account, and you will not receive a new one.

What would you personally do?

Let’s Honor Dr Martin Luther King’s DREAM

Posted inMotivationNo Comments

Today is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr’s birthday. Dr. King was one of those rare people who had a vision so big that it didn’t just serve him or his family or a city or a state or a country…It was a vision so powerful that it served (and transformed) humanity.

I’m sure you’re familiar with his famous, “I HAVE A DREAM” speech…(as I type the words I can hear his impassioned voice saying, “I HAVE A DREAM”…you probably can, too).

But what I find most inspiring about Dr. King isn’t written in the lines of that great speech.What I’m most inspired by is the commitment he made to live his life by returning hatred, evil, anger and the absolute worst outpouring of human behavior with…

LOVE and PEACE.

HEALTH Is WEALTH

Posted inHealth4 Comments

Many times we make New Year’s Resolutions with all good intentions…and a month later our good intentions have vanished. There is one RESOLUTION or COMMITMENT we need to make and keep 365 days a year. That is to do whatever is necessary to have GOOD HEALTH. It is said that “Health is Wealth”.

I REFUSE to be DEFEATED!

IT’S JUST NOT FAIR! If you have children, you hear this phrase often. To tell you the truth, that’s how I feel about some situations also. Things happen to all of us that are challenging – sickness, loss of a job, family problems, divorce, unfair treatment at work…

We all face problems of one kind or another and often “it’s just not fair“!!

The next step is up to you! Are you going to dwell on the negative and the “poor me” syndrome? Are you going to waste your time and energy in thoughts and words that just keep you upset and don’t solve the problem? I was faced with a problem recently that upset me. I thought about the problem, lost sleep that night and woke up with a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. My mind was active all the next morning replaying the same words over and over. I finally had to stop myself because I was not making the situation any better and only further destroying my peace of mind.
