Nutrition and Children, it’s NOT JUST for the kids though…
Most moms have trouble getting good nutrition into their children every day. Totally understandable given busy schedules, past eating habits, peer pressure etc. so many variables.
This VIDEO provides some excellent tips plus a way to unsure they and you get your daily nutrition. A system proven to be VERY effective to maintain the best of health in today’s society. A pediatrician and a mom are interviewed.
Nutrition supplements (Whole Food) vs. Vitamins
Scientific evidence over the last decade has concluded that vitamin pills or capsules are ineffective for filling the nutrition gap that occurs in most of our diets. The reason is vitamin “Supplements” are not what is needed, but rather concentrated supplements from “whole food”. Vitamins have “x” amount of milligrams of a small number of nutrients, vs thousands of phytonutients aka (plant chemicals) that occur in whole, organic, vine ripened produce. That is what we need the most of in our diet for optimum health. The best of whole food supplementation that I and more importantly, many health professionals know and use is this. See the video to learn a bit about the extensive independent 3rd party research done on this. No one else has this caliber of research done.
As We Enter the Cold and FLU season....
….something that is important for us all to be doing every day but often don’t is to get proper nutrition. Especially if you work an office it’s often hard to get proper nutrition every day. For many the 9-5 routine is something they only wish they could do, but instead find themselves working many more hours. Not only earlier, but later as well. Then if you have school aged children as well, makes it even tougher, unless you can establish a ritual of healthy eating every day. And then again, what constitutes healthy eating?
Other that proper hydration (Half your body weight in water every day) nutrition is very important for keeping up our immune system. One of the best ways I’ve found to do this is to get the nutrition of 9-13 servings of fresh fruit and veggies everyday without necessarily consuming them. How do you do that?

Breast Cancer Awareness, prevention, not early detection
Breast cancer awareness month began back in 1985, See This. I however have a bit of an issue with many of the events and activities around this special time of awareness. It is often used by the medial profession to promote mammograms. This is the most intensely promoted scan however it’s safety is much less than most are aware. There is a much more effective and far safer way to be tested for PREVENTION rather than early detection.
This website has much helpful info, Thermographyfirst.com that compares Mammograms vs Thermograms and the info there in my opinion is pretty scary regarding the use of Mammograms. By the way, I have no connection to this company. I just did a search for someone who was offering specials and it came up. However I really like the info here. I do know of other places, but I wanted to share someone honoring the month this way.
Would love responses. Thanks
Also see my previous postings about breast cancer. Lots of good info.

Exercise, Nutrition and Spiritual Energy
The other day I posted my first blog post about spirituality. As a mix for good health with Nutrition and exercise which I’ve been posting for a couple years now.
With my last blog post about sports injuries, or wear and tear when it comes to exercise, it came to be that many feel you can do all the concentrated nutrition and exercise you want and it didn’t stop “someone they know” from getting cancer, Alzheimer’s, or some other deadly disease. I will say that although this is true, I feel the occurrence of the disease likely came about from a stressful scenario in their life that wasn’t resolving. There is a book that I can’t remember the name of that lists a bunch of behaviors or habits that have an amazing cause and effect on the manifestation of disorders. When I looked at the book I was amazed at the examples I found in the cause and effect of the behaviors and habits of my dad, my mom, myself and others and certain ailments that they had. Being aware of these was an eye opening experience to make changes in those areas. However often times knowing of these is not enough. I have also found that getting myself exposed to various energies can help to make the changes or other wise known as shifts. Shifts are something that happen when either we are exposed to different information that helps us to see things in a different way, or and experience that occurs with similar results. I’ve also seen that happen in that one can make pretty immediate changes when just exposed to different spiritual energies. When I say energy I am not referring to when someone feels a lot of energy they feel like doing a lot of activity. Another way to put it would be to refer to these energies as frequencies or vibrations. As you know vibrations and frequencies are all around us, though many associate those as the electronic ones we are bombarded with every day, I’m referring to the natural ones. There are vibrations that all matter have. As we know all matter is made up of molecules and the only difference between say air and a table are the frequencies that they vibrate at. Well these spiritual energies come about as a result of what some people can bring about and what can just be called upon by us. Remember we are all spiritual beings here in our bodies to fulfill a purpose.
Many of us have difficulty finding our passions because we’ve become so accustomed to not really enjoying life but just surviving. Know that you are here to do more than just survive, you are here to really enjoy living your passions. Another method I was made aware of by a few of my spiritual friends is a workshop called EOB or “Essence of Being”, This is an incredible workshop which is facilitated by a woman named Burge Smith Lyons and is an incredible person in my opinion. This workshop is one in which you interact with others doing different exercise of interactivity, questions are asked of you and those you do this with which is an incredible experience. They use a number of techniques, many of which I’ve seen and used before but combine them in such a way to really help you to get to the root of many of the things that are troubling you in life. It helps you learn to take control of your life. As I say, we are all here for a purpose and if you’re not sure what tat is, I recommend taking this workshop. Get more info at www.Essenceofbeing.com or check out the FB invite http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=147990078592813 assuming you’re on FaceBook. If you’re not let me know, I’d be happy to provide info to this amazing experience.
That is why we are all here. The only thing we need to do is make yourself aware of that purpose and to go about executing it. Sound simple right? Obviously not since many of us are clueless as to what that purpose is that we’re supposed to fulfill. What it comes down to is our passions. Whatever it is that makes you feel good, feel alive, that is where you should be and what you should be doing. If you love what you do, it makes life much easier. Some of us are still searching and still feel clueless, or find what makes us feel great or have trouble finding how to make it our livelihood. Usually when we have trouble either finding our passions or finding how to make it our livelihood is due to fear. Fear that we’re not good enough with our passions to charge people for it. However the reality is that we are indeed good enough for those who need our help, our guidance, our talents that we do not realize the benefits we provide. Another issue with this is to allow. Allow yourself to be available to those who need what you are passionate about, Who are more than willing to pay a good price to receive what you have to offer.
The bottom line here is, Taking good care of your body and exercising regularly for optimum health are all useless if we are not fulfilling our passions. It is said that man does not LIVE on food and water alone. Love is a part of that and Love is the most powerful energy in the universe. If we don’t have a love for what we do and we don’t give and share love in our day to day lives being involved and doing, following our passions, then we are not fulfilling the purpose our spirit put us here for in the first place and it may be your spirit manifesting the disease because you are wasting time by not fulfilling your purpose.
As I said in that previous post as well I have discovered that fulfilling your spirit’s purpose for putting you here, is actually more important the nutrition and exercise. Though doing both of those I feel will make you more productive in fulfilling your purpose. Personally I feel promoting nutrition and exercise is part of my purpose, The other is working with people to help them resolve who they are and why their here. Which is why I feel I was led to Reiki., Tantra and the other spiritual practices I’m involved with that all resonate with me so much and makes me grateful to have found my place.
Sports Injuries, or Exercise Wear and Tear.. and Nutrition.
The bones cartilage and all parts associated with the joints would be repaired and strengthened through proper nutrition for. What it takes is to increase the nutritional concentration on a daily basis. The key factor is getting the ALL important enzymes that are only mostly found in vine ripened produce.
Yesterday as I was riding my bike I came across a woman running using a device on her shoes or perhaps it was part of her shoes, that was a kind of a bow spring, I slowed down on my bike to ask her about it. I felt it was to increase the strengthening of her calves, but actually it was to relieve the impact to her ankles and knees, I said ah, ok cool. I said that on the out side, but on the inside I said bad idea. You may ask why a bad idea, isn’t that good to be able to get the running exercise in without stress to the ankles and knees since running is known to cause issues there? And the answer is……. No, I don’t agree!!!
The reality is that common injuries or wear and tear on certain joints etc associated with some sporting or exercise activities are “known” to occur and some accept those as facts. The reality is they are misconceptions. Do these injuries and wear and tear not occur? Of course they do but it is not due to the activity, it is due to inadequate nutrition one gets in the dietary intake that is the problem. Not the activity itself. If we needed a contraption like that woman was wearing don’t you realize we would have been suited with something like that in our anatomy to prevent problems. No, if we take in sufficient amounts of nutrients on a regular basis these injuries or “wearing out” would not occur, those areas of the body would repair and get stronger according to what is needed for the body to protect itself. Just as body builders take nutrition to help their muscles adapt to handling the workout, there fore building muscle mass. The bones cartilage and all parts associated with the joints would be repaired and strengthened through proper nutrition for. What it takes is to increase the nutritional concentration on a daily basis. The key factor is getting the ALL important enzymes that are only mostly found in vine ripened produce. Increasing your nutritional intake starts with consuming lots of raw, vine ripened fruits and veggies on a daily basis. Problem is your local grocery store does not have vine ripened produce. And no organic isn’t necessarily vine ripened either, Vine ripened means the produce was picked at it’s peak of being ripe. That’s when the. They only get in in the last couple weeks of becoming ripe occur and what is at the store shelves are picked way before that.
I have a solution though if your interested in finding out more please contact me.
I will say that this information is not just about what I’ve read, or heard about but what I’ve experienced for myself. I, about 10 or more years ago decided to start running regularly since I wanted to get rid of abs fat that I always had trouble with and I learned running was the best way to get rid of it. So I did so for a couple months but found my ankles and knees were bothering me from the “impact” from running. So I stopped, and did different exercise. Then when I learned of the way to increase my nutritional density I did so and had been at it for maybe two years when I began learning about how others were benefiting. So I decided to start running again and found that not only could I run 3 miles daily without any problem, I got up to 6 and as much as 8 miles in a day with only some minor discomfort. That’s when I realized how important nutrition plays. Another part of nutrition which I’ve mentioned before which is key which is hydration. Hydration is really important for so many areas, so if you combine good hydration with concentrated nutrition it’s a very good combo. Though seeing me to get some Reiki is very helpful as wellJJ As I said in a blog post from a coupe days ago. Getting some life force/spiritual energy in the mix makes for an unbeatable combo when it comes to good health.

Do You Know What’s in Your Food?.
Trick or Treating and Nutrition, Oxymoron?
Hey moms out there. Well tonight is the time for your little ones, or perhaps not so little ones anymore? (won’t say how old mine are and can’t get it out of their systems….a bit embarrassing:(….) In any case,we all know that candy is by no means healthy food but they sure will have fun collecting it tonight. Some call it begging, but I won’t go there, and they’re really not begging since it’s being handed to them with just a couple words after knocking on the neighbor’s door.
Anyway, the important thing is of course to handle what they do collect with discretion and some sanity. Yes, I know, that’s no fun. Especially for them, but better for you too since who wants to deal with hyper kids after they’ve gorged on all that sugar, especially since they’ll probably be out later this year, not being a school night and then gobbling up a lot of it right after?? YIKES.
Something to be aware that many aren’t though is that sugar, especially from candy will greatly reduce, and possibly even shut down the immune system for several hours. A study showed that a candy bar (regular size, not Halloween candy size) and a can of soda will shut down the immune for up to 6 hrs. Although like I said, that’s a regular sized bar, with Halloween candy being small, they will probably eat more than one and end up eating much more in volume than a regular sized bar. Have you everr noticed that they often get sick soon after Halloween? Or perhaps since the weather is usually getting cooler at this point, any illness was attributed to that. Well actually of course it;s both, with weather changing the body has to adjust, but if the immune system has been conpromised from excessive candy intake. That won’t help. One thing that will help some is drinking lots of water. If you can get them to do that, which can help fill them up with something more useful than the sugar.
If you’re in the habit of going through all the candy that has been collected, that would be a good first step. Having them keep only the stuff they really like and discard the rest. Why bother eating it just because you have it if you really don’t enjoy it that much. Why eat the added sugar? Also avoiding eating too much at a time. Just having a few pieces every day. If you can get them to make it last till Thanksgiving, their pancreases would be very happy.
Hopefully, this has given you some food (pardon the pun) for thought.
Happy Halloween.
