This is Your Brain On: Aspartame

Friday, August 13th, 2010

Back in June I published an article that talked about my staff member whose daughter dissolved some baby teeth in sugared soda drinks.  The response was interesting because I got a few emails in which people agreed with the point that sugar rots teeth, and so it’s best to avoid sugared sodas.  So instead of drinking the full-calorie sodas, they drink diet ones.

The actual point was to drink more water and try to abandon soda altogether.  While there is a point that most things are okay in moderation, such as sugared drinks, some items are best left out of consideration.  Diet drinks fall into this category for the most part, but specifically the ones artificially sweetened with aspartame.

A simple internet search of aspartame yielded 3 trends that I noticed.  The first trend was the number of competitor products that talked about how horrible it is and all the research that has been conducted to back up the claims.

I Want to Change My Loved One

Friday, August 6th, 2010

I heard a saying the other day that went something like this: The only man you can change is the one wearing a diaper.

It’s not uncommon at all to look at the object of your love, whether it’s parental, spousal, or other kinds of love, and see unreached potential in that person.

It is easy for us to find the faults with our loved ones because we are around them all the time.  Advice columns are full of letters where a desperate wife is seeking advice on how to “change” her husband so he will eat all his vegetables, exercise more, smoke less, drink more water and less soda…whatever the case may be.

Just the other day I got an email from a woman who wrote in asking if a man who is overweight, drinks too much alcohol, isn’t physically active, has a heart condition and is in general poor health can be helped by natural remedies.  The short answer is yes.  There is a rather large “however” attached, though.

It doesn’t have to be hard to lose Weight

Monday, July 19th, 2010

I am sure we all know someone that has struggled with his/her weight.  It’s not always easy to get those stubborn pounds to go away.  I have received a number of emails from readers telling me about their battle with weight loss.

The fact is that your weight has a major impact on your health.  High blood pressure, fatigue, fibromyalgia, arthritis, diabetes and depression are a few of the conditions an overweight person may be more inclined to experience.  If you have ever been overweight or are overweight now, you understand what I mean. In addition, most often low self esteem also accompanies the physical issues.

There are people who just simply seem unale to lose a single pound, even though they may be eating healthy and exercising.  In this case, it’s not uncommon that they just give up.  Their motivation is there, but the fact that the results are not is discouraging. But consider that there is something blocking their body from losing weight.

Weight loss may have a direct relation to a low active thyroid disease.  This can lower your metabolism and make it hard to lose weight. Your thyroid is like the central station for metabolism control.  When you have a hypothyroidism this can cause fatigue, weakness, and rapid weight gain.

Don’t Replace Your Water Requirement With Sugar!

Monday, June 14th, 2010

One of my staff members was sharing a story about her daughter recently, and she was beaming about how well she did on the science fair project for her 5th grade fair.  She said it was “gross” but really convincing.

She went on to say that she has veered away from her love of sports, drinks and soda and switched over to water almost exclusively (with the exception of milk with dinner).   I asked what could be so convincing and she said her daughter dissolved some baby teeth in soda.

It wasn’t a complete dissolution but they were markedly smaller after soaking for a week in sugared sodas.  The average loss in the size of the teeth was 14% she said. She went on to say that when she and her daughter were looking up procedures for the experiment so that her daughter could be sure to follow the “scientific method” correctly, they found that soda wasn’t even the worst culprit.

She Volunteered To Save Her Health

Friday, May 28th, 2010

The other day a friend of mine was talking about a new hobby she had picked up.  She had resisted even giving it a try because she didn’t think there was enough time in her schedule to accommodate one more commitment.

Her new hobby was a volunteer commitment for the local parochial school, donating about an hour a week to help with little tasks such as copying, preparing newsletters, assembling unit materials for teachers, and calling parents for special requests.

When she was first approached her reaction was an immediate “no” since she works full time already.  However, the person asking her wasn’t just asking for the school’s benefit.  That person knew she needed a little something extra in her life and he was right. (more…)

What Happened to My Body at 40

Monday, May 10th, 2010

A few days ago a colleague of mine sent me a note saying she was disheartened.  She explained to me that a majority of her life, she’d been quite healthy except for a few minor incidents and juvenile ailments.

One day, it became apparent to her that some aspects of her life were not operating in the normal, healthy way.  It bothered her because, in her mind, she had thought herself to be slender, able-bodied, buoyant and good looking.

Her physician advised her that as you mature in age, starting about 40, that her metabolism begins to slow.  She questioned him about the issue because she realized that she was putting on a few pounds even though she wasn’t consuming any more calories that she had previously.

She also realized that the last few years her menstrual cycles were lengthened, unpleasant and abnormal with hint of getting better.   Her gynecologist advised her that hormones change as a woman nears the age of 40.

It’s Not Just Vanity - It’s Achieving a Healthy Body Weight

Tuesday, May 4th, 2010

A number of clients have emailed me explaining how they look and feel after they’ve lost weight.  I like the results that eating right and exercise gives me and it makes me appreciate the way my body looks.

My Weight Loss Breeze program has been such a success for my clients that it’s hard to count the number of responses I haven gotten regarding the program.  Not only have my clients lost weight, but they have lowered their blood pressure and have an overall increase in health and well being.

In order for the program to be successful, it has to become a habit.  A habit is just a matter of repetition.  But for those who do not have a regular habit of healthy living, the problem is that they aren’t sure where to begin.

Effects of losing weight to fast!

Friday, April 2nd, 2010

Just the other day, I was watching a television show, about a group of employees participating in a weight loss contest.  Some of them were practicing very dangerous and demeaning efforts for this weight loss contest. Worst of all, they didn’t even win the contest.

After watching this show, it brought to my attention on actually how many people would go to these desperate measures to try to lose weight as quickly as possible.

People have come up with some very strange and unordinary diet plans:

Being Underweight and the side effects

Monday, March 1st, 2010

As you keep reading my weight loss programs you will notice that most of them will lead to HPB (High blood pressure)/Hypertension and scary diabetes, agon other health problems.

Being overweight comes alone with lots of complications.  People have been told over and over again for years that something needs to be done with their weight.

Not only being overweight a concern, so is underweight. When we look at the model with the “perfect” body, it is not so “prefect” on the inside.

Can I have control over Diabetes?

Monday, February 15th, 2010

My clients don’t always realize that my programs can help more than one condition.  I receive a lot of feedback, when they purchase one program, and they notice a significant difference in another disorder which they are suffering from.

Just a couple of months back, I had a very entertaining lady, write an outstanding confirmation to me in regards of my High Blood Pressure and Weight Loss Breeze guides.

Finally after 5 years of visiting her doctor for a check-up, she had forgotten all about the hassle of medical forms. This contained a long list of physical conditions as well as mental health, of her and family history.
