Tag Archives: Wellness Wednesday

I'm a firm believer in the body's ability to heal itself. If any part of you - body, mind, and spirit - is missing an important component to thrive, it will certainly let you know in the fastest way possible. This may include pain, low energy, insomnia, headache, confusion, extreme emotions or any number of distress markers that we usually notice...real quick.

As one of the most sacred of spaces, the bedroom has the potential to bring peace and serenity or ill-health and distress. I'm only scratching the surface of how important it is to have balance in this area. Focus on the actual sleeping space of the room first. How does it make you feel?

I've been tossing around the question: How long does it take to get healthy? My gut tells me several things immediately; first, it depends on what level of health you are seeking and from what point you are starting. Because there are varying degrees of wellness, we have to pay attention to more specific goals in order to get a clear understanding of our progress.

The journey to find peace with your body is a road worth traveling. For me, it's been a rather twisty one with hills and valleys. I want true health; it gives me pain. I desire to be fit; it gives me pain. I long for the energy I once had; it gives me fatigue. This has been the norm for what seems like two life times. I've only recently come to a new place of reconciliation with these bones and sinew. I'd like to share it with you.

Coming to you as a woman who has dealt with low energy issues off and on for years, primarily due to chronic pain (migraine) and insufficient sleep, I'm also one who researches and uses many techniques to improve my own wellness and energy levels. My discoveries have led me to a much more consistent state of health and the perfect ways to get a little extra zing in my day.

I did an experiment to determine how I could relax quickly and without much fuss. Fussing is not the way to get in the zen zone. However, the following five things will, at least, get you going in the right direction.

What if your state of health had more to do with what's in your subconscious than with your body? Interestingly enough, it could be the case. I recently heard a story about a woman who was morbidly obese and found, no matter what she did, the weight would not come off and stay off.

I love how many health magazines depict the perfectly happy models jumping into the air after their five-mile runs and drinking their fruit smoothies. No judgement...it's just the way the media is.

Many women have been alarmed by the recent recommendations for breast cancer screening. It's not surprising that those who have already been getting annual mammograms or are approaching the age of forty are confused about what they should do. I know because I'm one of them.

Sorry, Ladies; this is going to be short...no, I mean really short today. My head is currently experiencing one of the worst migraines that I've had for awhile. I've just never missed a Wellness Wednesday before, not willing to do it now.

I'm REALLY upset about this one! Aspartame producer Ajinomoto chose to rebrand it under the name AminoSweet, to “remind the industry that aspartame tastes just like sugar, and that it’s made from amino acids – the building blocks of protein that are abundant in our diet.”

I don't know about you, but I have those days when my body and mind just won't get with the program; I'm almost positive some kind of mutiny has occurred when merely getting out of bed is a five step process. Even a cool shower doesn't wake me up enough to do the world (or myself) any good.

My friends, if it was just cell phones we had to worry about, many might reconsider there use. Sadly, it's not though. "A recent study showed that exposure to very-low-frequency voltage signals (1-100kHz), or "dirty electricity,” can greatly increase your risk of melanoma, thyroid cancer, and uterine cancer.

After learning that the five-year-old daughter one of my blog friends was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes, I felt inclined to share some information with all of you about the disease that affects 23.6 million children and adults in the US alone with a price tag of around $174 billion.

Thousands of women wake up every morning and wonder what is wrong with them....really. The reason: They have not found the right health care provider and information to identify the culprit that steals their health.
