What can we do to help our bodies be stronger and ward off these ailments? A cold or the flu can drag on for days or weeks and really deplete your energies. You are most likely a busy, productive individual who has no time to be sick!!

There are things you can do to take care of your body boost your immune system. Here are some steps you can take:

Melatonin Is More than Just For Sleep

I have had problems sleeping for close to 20 years. I could never sleep much more than an hour—often much less- without being awake and restless—unable to fall right back asleep. My problem was I never could get the REM restful sleep because I never stayed asleep long enough!! As we age, we don’t produce as much Melatonin and this often leads to sleep problems. Also stress …just too much to do…unresolved problems—all can contribute to miserable nights.

People kept telling me to try Melatonin.  I did but never got ongoing, consistent results…until a friend gave me  a bottle of  Perfect PM to try. WOW!! What a difference from the very first night.

Detox and Start your Weight Loss

My friend, Dave, is a great guy and his emails brighten my days. If they hear me laughing in the office, most of the time is it from something Dave sent to me. BUT…there is one subject Dave is serious about! Dave is a Surgical RN and has specialized in Endoscopy for 15 years. Dave knows the importance of colon cleansing.

There are many methods utilized for colon cleansing—we will be talking about our UltaLife UltaCleanse here which is very mild as a laxative and cleanser used to assist in detoxifying the intestinal track.

WHAT DO YOU WANT?

Why is this such a critical question? Because you can’t have what you want if
you don’t know what you want.

what-do-you-wantMost people don’t have a clue. The best they can do is say what they don’t want… what they’re “sick and tired” of… but not what they crave. Kids can tell you all day long. Just ask…or don’t ask… they’ll tell you anyway. 😉

But adults, that’s a whole other story. Tragic really. It’s like a line of starving people at an “all you can eat” buffet. Anything and everything you could ever want is available to you in unlimited, inexhaustible supply yet most people live like there’s never enough of anything.

So how about you? What do you want… REALLY want? Do you know?

Eating for the Holidays

The Christmas Season is especially difficult for those trying to diet—lose weight or even just maintain their weight. I used to start a diet thinking I had to deprive myself of good things…and to feel hungry all the time!!

Those kinds of diets usually fail. While you might lose a few pounds, you will tend to gain eat-methem back. No one can live in a constant state of hunger!! If you tell yourself you cannot have a certain food (like chocolate), guess what you will crave!! I have actually had chocolate call my name!!

 

I learned years ago that dieting is never a good idea. What you should do is make lifestyle changes. Modify your eating in ways you can continue. Don’t deprive yourself for 2 weeks and then go crazy eating after that!

Are You On A Diet?

Tips for eating and enjoying it—but not gaining weight.

I have learned some tips that have helped me through the years. I have been a long time Weight Watcher member and have tried to find ways to eat in whatever situation I am in…and make it work. I don’t beat myself up if I am not perfect. I just get up and start over the next day.

Growing up, my mom was a great cook. Bacon (and the grease) was used in almost every vegetable for seasoning. Sure it is great—but not healthy or low calorie. Instead of using bacon or lots of butter when cooking my veggies, I have learned to use chicken broth—or even just bouillon cubes.  My green beans cooked this way are great. I use one bouillon cube per pound of fresh green beans. Try sautéing a chopped onion in just a dab of olive oil first and that will also add extra flavor.

Open Your Gift!

Don’t you just love to see all the beautifully wrapped presents under the Christmas tree? Or how about the ones you receive for your birthday? Some people are masters at creating the most beautiful packages, aren’t they? When you see a gift, beautifully wrapped and decorated, does it benefit you? As long as it is sitting on a table or under the Christmas tree, you can’t derive any benefits or pleasure from it…other than maybe appreciating the wrappings.
