Deteriorating Health

Sometimes we find ourselves in a state of deteriorating health. How does that happen? How did I get there? What can I do about deteriorating health?

Many people in their 20 are ready to take the world by storm. Nothing can hold them back.

In their 30’s they are focusing on their careers. They are establishing themselves in their chosen industry.

At forty, life begins to slow down a bit and they become more settled in their lives. The income has been set and they are comfortable with their lifestyle as a whole.

But have you ever seen those memes that says all is rocking along just fine but at 50 that “check engine” light comes on?

That little alert may be a realization that the hair is thinning or falling out. It may be stiff joints or an inability to climb stairs. What about too much weight in the middle? Or worse yet, bad report numbers after the annual physical?

These are the people I specialize in helping. Those who are facing a downfall in health status, deteriorating health, and are not quite ready to give in easily to the aging process. Many tend to depend solely on what the doctor or physician’s assistant tells them to do. I find it important to do some research and explore alternative pathways to solve a health problem.

Please understand that I have and use doctors and other medical professionals. They are trained in their particular field of study and practice. However, their recommendations and procedures may not be the best or most appropriate option for you.

If you know someone who is at or approaching the half-century mark with some warning lights flashing on their dashboard of health I can be of help and guidance. Send them to me and I will coach them on a path to wellness and self-care.

Turmeric potency varies among products

What do apple slices have to do with turmeric?

You are a kid who loves apple slices. Each day you go to the local fruit stand and give him your dollar. He gives you an apple slice and you are so happy. You are “Keeping the doctor away.(?)”

You go to visit your cousin who also loves apple slices. When you accompany him to his local vendor he gives the man a dollar and a half and the man gives him 19 apple slices.

How do you feel about your vendor and the apple slice you get? You are getting only 5% while your cousin is getting 95%.

From Apples to Turmeric

You see, this is like turmeric. If one is taking turmeric from the grocery store spice aisle, he or she is only getting about 5% curcumins, the active ingredient in turmeric root. If he or she is taking Shaklee’s Turmeric Boost, they are getting 95% curcumins. Shaklee is using a Standardized Extract of turmeric. Standardized! Understand how much more value and benefit is there in a standardized extract. Standardized Turmeric extract is heads above Turmeric root.

Turmeric has been used for ages as a seasoning for food. Many began to see the health benefits of this spicy root as well. As with any food item, the nutritional value varies from product to product. This orange may have many times the vitamin C as that orange. Growth and processing methods also affects the nutritional value of foods.

I only began using turmeric when Shaklee introduced Turmeric Boost. After a short time, I noticed a big difference in a cranky hip. It is so much better now that I am being consistent with my “curcumin” intake.

give your body a pause with 5 x 5 Reset detox

The need for a detox

We often eat the wrong things. And we often do that for way too long. This can lead to build up of toxins and other unwanted, dangerous substances in the digestion tract. These substances can even find their way into individual cells. This “infiltration” of undesirable elements can create the need for a good, thorough detox.

At this point, many people decide to do something drastic about undesirable symptoms:

bloated stomach,
sluggish digestion,
low energy and
poor sleep quality

Often that “something” is a harsh detox program that is difficult to adhere to and feel good about. Some detox programs can be damaging to normal body functions, such as metabolism.

Detox Solution

An alternate Detox program

A safe way to reset the body is with the 5 x 5 Reset program. This is a 5 day cleanse that is easy to follow and it lasts for only 5 days. Participants report more energy, lost cravings, weight loss and/or inch loss and better digestion and higher rest quality. With added support from a closed Facebook group, the system keeps those “reseter participants” engaged and motivated to do their best, follow the guidelines and share their experience.

After the 5 days, there is an opportunity to maintain momentum and go forward with a transition program. Interested parties should contact this blogger for details because it will make a long term difference in health and vitality.

taking a nap and napping at work

A study done by recruiting firm Accounting Principals indicates that 39% of American employees are napping at work. The sandman must be working a day job!!!

But don’t call these people lazy. There are actually potential benefits from taking a nap, such as improved memory, creativity and cognitive ability.

If you are considering napping at work, set an alarm for 20 minutes. Sara Mednick, author of Take a Nap! Change Your Life, says that at about 30 minutes of sleep, we fall into the deepest form of sleep, slow-wave, and we may return to work in a fog. It is hard to adjust back to the real world if we wake in the middle of slow-wave sleep.

You might also look at the reasons why you feel the need for taking a nap. What has your diet been like that day? How much and what quality of sleep did you get last night? Are you on a regular exercise program?

Here are some helpful habits to develop to encourage better sleep that will help to eliminate the need for a nap at work:

☼ Eat a good breakfast with quality protein
☼ Have a midmorning snack that does not contain a lot of sugar.
☼ Make sure your lunch is a healthy one, avoiding beef, pork or other hard-to-digest foods.
☼ Get 7 to 8 hours of sleep each day.
☼ Establish a regular bedtime and stick to it.
☼ Exercise at least 4 times per week. Do this at least 2 hours before your newly established bedtime.
☼ Take time to meditate or just get quiet in your mind for 5 minutes per day.

In general, take good, balanced care of yourself.
