Health Matters

Good morning,

Healthy coffee and cancer is quite the topic for today. Did you  know that there is such a coffee available for all of us? healthy teas, and healthy hot chocolate available online for us.

So what’s the big deal with coffee anyway? Most coffees and teas and yes, hot chocolates are caffeine loaded for that immediate up feeling and then let us down. caffeine is an addicting drug  and has very little benefits to our bodies.

Traditional Chinese medicine uses natural healing herbs to cure diseases and I want to share with you about the amazing Ganoderma Lucidum herb and its functions with these ideas in mind. The use of natural healing herbs to uproot the chrinic diseases is realatively easy for all of us to do.

Conventional medication often covers up the symptom of disease and most often used are pain killers, antibiotics and sometimes steroids. Traditional Chinese medicine look to the actual cause of why we are hurting, sickly and feeling miserable to put it mildly.

When you strengthen the immune system you can deal with most any disease that is invades our body. When our immune systems are totally wiped out these invasions occur and damage our bodies. Did you know or realize that our immune systems are on duty 24 hours daily? it’s protecting us from germs, viruses and anything that is invading.

This immune system when lowered in it’s ability to protect us allows all kinds of dis-eases including cancers. Ganoderma is one of our first line of defenses and I have found the most unique way of getting my Ganoderma protection by drinking healthy coffee, sometimes hot and sometimes iced.

Ganoderma, sometimes called the heavenly or King of the Herbs, is amazing in its performance in our bodies. It helps in neutralizing and removing body toxins like heavy metals so it can then aid our bodies in healing and repairing itself. The herb alone won’t health us but sure makes for great healing and faster recovery from our health challenges.

One huge advantage of Ganoderma Lucidum is that we can consume it for long periods of time without any side effects. It’s what is called an adaptogenic herb, meaning it seeks to maintain our body balance while improving our bodies constitution.

What an easy way to care for our bodies and not tear them down by drinking a cup of healthy coffee, tea or hot chocolate and having the awesome benefits of the Ganoderma Lucidum while we sip on it daily.

Your health matters so enjoy life and drink healthy coffee and feel great and energized for the day.

Good Morning,

Is obesity as dangerous as smoking for those persons who are over-weight? Yes, the risks are similar according to the American Cancer society and other experts in the fields of researching both of these dis-eases. As Americans we are on the verge of obesity surpassing smoking as the leading cause of Preventable deaths.

Obesity is associated with a higher risk of several types of colon and breast cancers and the research has showed that diet and inactivity is the main cause for this disaster. The researchers think that over 186,000 lives could be saved annually with a diet change and a lifestyle change of adding a little exercise daily to our routines.

I’m sure you’ve heard of the Great American smokeout, they now have a Great American weigh-in now to challenge people to make that huge change and take charge of their lives on a daily basis. The obesity is now a huge challenge for lots of children also. In activity in one of the main issues with them also, Parents take action, involve your children in school activities and after school programs to improve their lives and their health matters.

One of the main ways to gauge and see if we are overweight is by measuring their body mass index (BMI), a measurement of obesity that involves our height and weight. Take that next step for yourself and add a 30 minute walk each day, eat more raw foods, and stay away from super-sizing meals, fast foods, sugar loaded desserts and leave all of those soft drinks alone and start drinking lots more water. It is worth this change as you sure don’t want to deal with bills of going to doctors and clinics for those toxic medicines and prescriptions when you can make a difference by changing your meals and snacks for you and that of your children.

Is obesity as dangerous as smoking? yes, they are both dangerous for your loved ones. They definitely take and make challenges to our bodies.

Good evening,

Wow, just finished a long hard day of work and eating late, this is not good for the  fat loss secret and health is it?

In my opinion and in the opinion of others, one should not eat food at least 3 hours before bedtime. Our food needs to digest and we need to burn some of the calories before bedtime so we can keep the fat from our bodies. I think that is why it is suggested that we take a long walk after dinner to relax, digest our foods, clear our minds and this is a great way to lose some of our fat also.

I love to eat raw foods and this is a great way to lose weight and including them into our meal plans is a great way to encourage our bodies to naturally release the fats that we have accumulated in our bodies.

Exercise will also help turn the fat burning on for us also. Walking is a great way to start and then add some aerobic and weight-lifting into our routines at least 3 times a week. Staying active increases fat burning also and helps with weight loss.

Food is not the enemy. We can combine raw fruits and raw vegetables and cut-out all sugar-loaded products such as junk foods and of course, those soft drinks and sodas, and add whole grain products and nuts and be amazed at how much we progress to our weight loss goals.

Please don’t start starving your bodies as this send your body into a defense  position and therefore starts to store fat, due to the sudden drop in calories. This is defeating our purpose, actually if you start eating smaller meals and increasing eating to 6 times a day, you will see weight  loss also. Try it and see for yourself.

Just remember the fat loss secret and health are so very important. We need nutritional, healthy and great tasting foods to deal with weight loss.
