Frugal Tips

Posted on August 25, 2009 by admin

Frugal tips seems to be the topic of the day. What can I do to save money on food, gas, electricity, all utilities, clothing, vacations and the list goes on forever it seems?

While talking to a friend this morning, one of his first questions to me was ‘which one of my health food supplements should I cancel’? What have we as a country done? What have we been doing that we need to change? What things can be eliminate? Are we to the point that now our health is taking a ‘back seat’ to living the lifestyle we thing we deserve?

This friend shared that the gas taxes had increased, the gas prices have increased, the social security benefits that he so desperately needs to survive are being cut or lowered, the utilities and rent have increased to the point of not being able to even rent a small home and was asking what frugal tips he should implement to live humbly. Aren’t we all taking a second and third look at how things used to be and what steps we can do next to improve our quality of life? Or perhaps, stay at living a quiet and humble lifestyle without the government or anyone else dictating what to do, where to go to seek medical advice if needed or live our lives as we so choose?

This article offers some frugal tips to consider:

Healthy Weight Loss Tips

Posted on August 19, 2009 by admin

Healthy Weight loss tips include eating a healthy breakfast such as a smoothie made with organic fruits and organic vegetables such as a carrot, apple, banana, pineapple, fresh spinach leaves. Blend well and if you want it thicker add some ice cubes while blending.

Eat smaller meals so that will mean measuring for a time so you each only a serving of each food. A serving is a half cup of each food and if you eat organically grown meats that needs to be the size of a deck of card or approximately 3 ounces. Eat 5 to 6 times a day and see how much less food you will be consuming and this heaps manage weight loss.

Don’t eat late in the day or evening as our body is winding down and therefore you will not burn all of those calories that you have just eaten. Preferably your biggest meal is during the noon time. Don’t use sugar-loaded drinks as for example they can contain up to 32 teaspoons of sugar. Don’t use diet drinks either as they are loaded with unhealthy ingredients as well, contrary to what the cans and bottles tell you.

Leave all chips, snack foods, sodas, and sweet desserts of all kinds off the menu. If you just have to have an occasional dessert, go out for a single serving so you aren’t tempted to eat the whole pie or cake. Keep an organic treat on hand so satisfy the sweet tooth such as fresh fruits.

Take charge of your health matters as with a bad health issue it does cost you time and money and terrible side effects if you have to resort to prescription drugs. Take an honest look at your body and treat it with respect. Take a look around you and just observe what others are snacking on and ask yourself, Is this what my body needs to be able to keep up with my children, attend their activities, my church activities and our list grows? Am I following practices to stay healthy? Does my health matter?

Benefits of Organic Foods

Posted on March 11, 2009 by admin

When you decide to eat healthier, it will require a little more than just not cooking your vegetables. Raw is not the only concern that you have. Fruit and vegetables grown with regular pesticide sprays or genetically modified organisms are prevalent in grocery stores. You have to look for organically grown or locally grown vegetables. Meat from Organic raised livestock is hard to find but not impossible. The benefit to your health is worth what you will pay.

Organically or locally grown vegetables and fruit ensure the least tainted, manipulated produce that you can get, even though it may not be completely free of every danger. Buying locally grown produce has the added benefit of supporting the small, independent farmers.

An even better plan of action is the organically grow your own produce in a backyard garden. If you don’t live in a highly industrialized area, or near highways, it may be a good idea. Gardening has the added benefit of being therapeutic.

Benefits of Organic foods can make you feel better, be healthier and look healthier, add years to your life and those of your loved ones. You can find articles like these at this site also.

Soil Depletion and Health Matters

Posted on August 21, 2008 by admin

Good afternoon,

As a farm girl I feel that this is a great topic, Soil depletion and health matters. I found this quote: “Every ailment, every sickness and every disease can be traced back to an organic trace mineral deficiency.” by Linus Pauling, (twice awarded the Nobel Prize in medicine) when he made this very comment to the 74th Congress of the United States.

This is becoming alarmingly apparent as the basic components necessary to sustain our health-organically is becoming really noticeable in our health matters. We need 3 basic ingredients to sustain our lives. Water, Oxygen and organically complex-edbased trace minerals. All our vitamins and enzymes don’t seem to be able to function properly with trace minerals, so when we are lacking in them, we become that much more susceptible to diseases.

We were created with amazing bodies to derive minerals from organic complexesand when these complexes are supposed to be in the healthy foods we eat and are not due to soil depletion we become sickly. We, like our farmers, who try and add fertilizers and toxic chemicals to improve our foods seem to make it worse by doing this. We add to the downfall of our bodies defenses. These fertilizers that most farmers use cause toxicity in our water runoff and further imbalance the delicate nature of our soils. This all started back in the 1930′s when they started fertilizing the land with inorganic fertilizers and this is not a natural way to feed our foods supply.

These practices only put back into the soils about 3 to 5 of the components that make our foods, nutrient rich and good for us. Compound this with pesticides and a stressed-out plant and now you can see why we are seeing lots more challenges and diseases in our world.

This is a reason for you to look for organically grown fruits and vegetables to feed your families and see them on the road to a healthier lifestyle. Have you ever noticed the taste of home-grown vegetables and fruits, especially the melons? Why, just the other day, while driving into town and listening to my radio, there were a couple of guys discussing which state grew the best melons. Yes, you can tell which soils are best and it all depends on the length of seasons and if they are organically grown with you in mind.

Take an active stand in your health matters. You will feel, look and have more energy to face the business of your lifestyles. Soil depletion and health matters should concern all of us and become lots healthier.

As a thought, you might like to include a liquid nutritional supplement called IntraMaxthat is organically grown and prepared for us and to help us with staying lots healthier. I love liquid nutrition, because I despise swallowing pills of any size.color or whatever reason the advertisers have for us to believe.

Have a truly healthy day

Irene
