Summertime is a great time for having fun (woohoo it’s finally here!); it’s about going to the beach, hiking up the mountains and maybe doing some extra exercise to keep you looking your best. With that in mind, it’s also a time when your body sweats out the most nutrients. It is no doubt a beautiful time of year, but sometimes it can be dangerous, and not everyone makes sure to take the right precautions when exercising outside. It’s a daily requirement to drink at least eight cups of water per day, which most people don’t consume, and when you’re outside in triple-digit whether, that requirement is raised significantly. When you sweat, you’re losing valuable nutrients and that can lead to fatigue and heat exhaustion.

In order to maintain safety when working, playing or exercising in above average heat, remember these tips:

1. Drink lots of fluids!

2. Dress according to the weather.

3. Build up to your potential.

4. Make sure to consult a doctor or physician

5. Replenish all the vitamins, minerals and nutrients necessary for optimal health. I recommend Waiora’s Essential Daily Nutrients. You can read more about it here. This is the product that my family and I use because it’s the most complete nutrient on the market today.

Remember to take good care of yourself during work and play and have a healthy day!

How would you like to experience intermediate blurred vision, constipation, urinary retention, dizziness, forgetfulness, lack of coordination and continual dry throat and mouth? That sounds like a lot of fun, doesn’t it? Side effects. These come with just about every prescription medication on the market. And these are the side effects you can look forward to when using prescription or over-the-counter sleep aids, according to the labels of many popular brands.

Other concerns associated with using over-the-counter medications and prescriptions can include rebound insomnia, withdrawal symptoms, various physical side effects, dependency, drug tolerance and negative interactions with other drugs or chemicals in your system. Which sounds like even more fun.

These chemical remedies may seem like the easiest and quickest way to solve sleep problems, but the problem is that the causes of insomnia are very complex and different for every person. A quick fix pill solution can be a very appealing answer for many people, unfortunately, insomnia meds won’t cure your sleep problems, and they can very often exacerbate the issue over the long haul. So what do you do?

Never fear, there is an all natural sleep aid that just hit the market in March 2008 that can help you sleep better or just get over that anxiety you feel during the day. It is not a drug and there is no risk of dependancy. And it will not make you feel groggy in the morning. Problem solved. No side effects here. And there is a lot of science to back it up.

TESTIMONY:

“I suffer from OCD and panic attacks. I have been dissolving a tiny piece of the sleep strip (maybe a quarter to an eighth?) on the roof of my mouth during the day if I feel myself getting really tense or having that dry mouth and racing heart that indicates I’m going into that anxiety. And generally I’ve been much calmer since the strips, which I take at night as directed too. I think they are better than any drug I’ve tried.” Tracey Mainewaring

I actually tried this myself. It worked for me too. I’m sold on this product and fully recommend it. Give it a try and get rid of your side effects. If it doesn’t work for you, I’ll buy it back!

Still think milk is helping you lose weight? According to the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, there is no proof in the pudding. Apparently there isn’t any science behind the milk-mustache ads. To read a full article click here.

It is very difficult to know who to trust these days. It seems everyone is just out to line their pockets with our hard earned money. That’s one thing I love about the products my family and I use; they are all science-based and the research is public knowledge. Their proof is in the testimonies!

I do not like them Sam I Am!”

But, carob, now that’s another story!  I found this wonderful carob bark recipe and I have really been enjoying it.  Though it doesn’t quite taste like chocolate, it is enough of a sweet that it deters me from endulging.  Carob only has 3.5g of fat and 70 calories per serving which makes it better on the hips than it’s chocolate counterpart.  “You do not like them.  So you say.  Try them!  Try them! And you may.”

1 bag (10 oz) Vegan Carob Chips (I use Vegan because they are not made with milk products)

2 heaping spoons full all natural peanut butter

1/4 – 1/2 cup chopped raw almonds

Melt chips over low heat.  Add peanut butter and almonds.  Stir.  Pour onto parchment paper covered cookie sheet and put in refrigerator to harden.  Break into small pieces and enjoy!  Refrigerate any leftovers.

Check out these stats on asthma:

This one really got my attention. Asthma rates in children under the age of five have increased more than 160% from 1980-1994.

Now why are our children having a hard time breathing? While the answer is not clear I personally believe that it is a combination of all the chemicals floating around our planet and the degredation of the American diet.

Here is my personal testimony: My son used to have problems breathing correctly after running around and playing. At first I thought it was allergies, which he did experience, but now I believe that he was actually borderline asthmatic. He could inhale just fine, but he had trouble moving air out of his lungs. This was almost a daily thing. So, of course, we had the Albuterol on hand a lot. Then I found a product called Natural Cellular Defense and I began giving him one (1) drop three (3) times a day. Almost immediately we began noticing a difference. That was over a year ago and in that year my son has only had to have his inhaler once. We will never be without our Natural Cellular Defense.

If you or anyone you know needs relief from breathing problems you should research this product at www.toxinclear.com . Then contact me and I will show you how to get this life changing product delivered right to your door.

I could write a huge long post about why not to use a microwave oven to cook your food. But the following website seems to sum it up pretty good. So I won’t reinvent the wheel. Take a look and then let me know if you too decide not to microzap.

My family and I use a product called Natural Cellular Defense to remove heavy metals and toxins from every cell in our bodies safely and easily. Learn more here

I am studying to become a Nutritional Consultant and in my studies I am discovering new things and rediscovering things I already knew.  It is pretty exciting I must say.  And a little scary.  For instance, I have just finished reading about why we should not use microwave ovens.  I haven’t used mine in a long time and have contemplated getting rid of it and now I do believe my mind is made up.  It’s out, if I can just get my husband to agree.

I just got this on my email and knew I needed to share it.  Take a look and tell me what you think.
