Disease does not happen overnight! You don't go to bed healthy and wake up with cancer the next day. Your genetics and lifelong habits will contribute to your ultimate health.

Stay away from concentrated sugars! Do not go near sweetened beverages and even fruit juices. Especially beware of artificial sweeteners as they are far sweeter than sugar and also evoke an insulin response from the pancreas. If you want soda or juice as an occasional treat try watering it down with water or seltzer. You should be drinking 64-80 oz/2-3liters of filtered water per day.

Sugary Drinks Link To Diabetes And Metabolic Syndrome Risk Is Clear And Compelling

Sugary Drinks Link To Diabetes And Metabolic Syndrome Risk Is Clear And Compelling: "- Sent using Google Toolbar"

This should be no surprise to most of us, but sugary drinks can lead to metabolic syndrome and diabetes. What is significant about the study is that this was a meta-analysis, a study of 11 independent studies involving over 300,000 subjects.

Please put down the soda can and pick up some filtered water. Artificial sweeteners are an even bigger disaster and a similar study should be done on them. Even juices are concentrated sugar without the rest of the fruit and raise blood sugar too high. Drink water or occasionally pure grape or pomegranate juice with some seltzer if you really miss the sodas.

Here we have a very interesting article. Most of us want to live as long as possible in good health. But how many of us are willing to make the investment now in order to reap the rewards later in life? Ms. Brody makes the point that simply walking earlier in life will lead to improved function later in life.

Motion is life! When we move the brain is activated through muscles, joints, and ligaments. Get up and get moving for longer and better life!

232 chemicals were found in the cord blood of newborns. Shocking and very discouraging. We're living in a very toxic world. Many of these chemicals come from everyday household items. Shampoos, plastics, treated wood, carpets, drapes, and household cleaners. Some come from the polluted air, water, and soil. Toxins are now everywhere. Heavy metals, volatile chemicals, plastics, prescription drugs, pesticides, and the list goes on. Many of these toxins do not have a metabolic pathway out of the body. What to do?

A comprehensive detoxification program is called for, especially for women who wish to get pregnant.

Middle age does not have to look like flabby and full of aches and pains. Former football start Herschel Walker proves that with an incredible regimen of workout and calorie restriction. This should be an inspiration to all middle age couch and office potatoes. If we did just a fraction of what HW does we would be far better off! Eat simply and only to satiation.

Oral health is a good indicator of general health. The mouth is dark and moist, a perfect place for bacteria, but there are also enzymes present in the saliva which are anti-bacterial.

The state of the mouth is actually a reflection of the state of your stomach and intestinal tract. The GI tract contains 80% of your immune system and houses more bacteria than there are cells in the body. There needs to be a balance of these bacteria. Often that balance is thrown off due to poor diet, excercise, and sleep habits. Also anti-biotics will kill off many beneficial bacteria along with the bad guys giving other bad guys an opportunity to take up residence and multiply.

It's very important to brush and floss regularly. My dentist says that flossing is even more important than brushing! It's also very important to get your GI tract in better shape. If you have bloating, gas, distended belly, constipation or diarrhea, or bad reactions to certain foods then you need to consult a functional nutritionist and get these issues sorted out.

Take care of yourself from top to bottom and from bottom to top. That was a trip to the dentist for a cleaning or extraction does not need to put your life at risk!

Motion is life! The brain receives input from muscles, ligaments, and joints via activation of receptors when we move. I've been waiting a long time for this study and article to appear! It's no surprise that simply walking activates grey matter and leads to increased brain volume. Your brain literally lives for this and in turn your health and life will be significantly improved! Physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Prescription for better health:

*Get moving
*Sleep 7 hours ( best from 11 PM)
*Drink 64-80 oz/2-3 liters water per day
*Eat lots of fruits & veggies, get rid of white sugar & artificial sweeteners

CPR, in this writer's opinion, should be learned by everyone. Far too many people do not know this potentially life saving therapy.

Today the guidelines have changed from A (airway), B (breathing), C (compression) to CAB in most cases. Experts have concluded that chest compressions are the most important part of rescue and should be initiated as soon as possible.

Green light can reset your internal body clock, affect sleep

Green light can reset your internal body clock, affect sleep

We are unavoidably tied into the natural rhythms of our world.  Light and dark, day and night,  play a huge role in our sleep -wake cycle. 

"The white light in our lives, whether from most light bulbs or the sun, is a rainbow of colors from violet to red, research has shown. It has long been known that exposure to that full spectrum resets the body's circadian clock, the rhythm that synchronizes our 24-hour cycle of alertness and sleepiness, along with hormones and a cascade of other physiologic processes all timed to the sun's passage through the day."

Before electricity people pretty much got up at dawn and went to sleep when the sun went down.  Today in our hi-tech world we no longer sleep. This is having a huge impact on our health.  It causes us to be sick more, to age faster, and increases our susceptibility to obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, and cancer.

Ideally we need about 7 solid hours of sleep per night, preferably from no later than 11 PM.  The room should be very dark and of there is a digital alarm display that should be covered.  The bedroom should be for sleeping only.  No TV, no reading, no eating.

Get out into the sun during the day and get into a nice cozy dark bedroom at night!
