I love how music has the power to elevate your mood. I was watching Lost this evening and the song “Shambala” by Three Dog Night was playing. That song brings me a lot of joy when I hear it. Another one as of late that has been elevating my mood is “Could You Be Loved” by Bob Marley. I take the good vibes and hold on to them as long as I can. Good stuff.
So, if your mood needs a lift, then click to listen: Shambala - Three Dog Night.
G’night everybody!
I am a health nut for sure. I am constantly trying to optimize my wellness, and to the point that I have a very restrictive diet. Recently, I’ve been seeing an iridologist in Green Hills who has me on a 60 day cleansing diet. I’ve lost an additional 15 pounds so far after 30 days. Anyway, as if I’m not healthy enough, I’ve been reading even more books on diet and health conditions - The Yeast Connection, Cracking the Metabolic Code, and Superfoods Rx.
The more I research on ways to stay healthy, the more the term “oxidative stress” keeps making an appearance. Oxidative stress is the result of not getting enough anti-oxidants to counteract the damaging free radicals that are created in our bodies. In other words, if we don’t get enough anti-oxidants in our diets, we essentially begin to rust on the inside. This causes premature aging and disease - ack! One of the few fruits I’m still allowed to eat are any type of berries, which are very high in anti-oxidants.
I’ve also discovered several products that Youngevity carries that have a high ORAC value. ORAC value is an independent measure of the levels of antioxidants in a supplement. Youngevity is the company where I buy all my nutritional supplements. They are a great company, and in case you don’t know - I am extremely fussy about the quality of the products I put on and in my body. It has to be the best. The two products that I’ve been testing are Cocogevity and Phenomenal Balance.
Cocogevity is a combination of Cocoa, Mangosteen, Acai and Wolfberry and has an ORAC value of over 100,000. It has a rich chocolatey flavor and my husband is actually drinking it without me nagging him. Trust me, that is an accomplishment. Phenomenal Balance extracts the phenols (the anti-oxidants) and concentrates them in a drink. Both are a great way to pack in some extra anti-oxidants to help us stay younger and healthier longer. Don’t forget to drink lots of water as well.
If you’d like to try these products, they’re available at the Youngevity website.
Here’s to your health!
Hi there! Most visitors to this site arrive here by seeing my web site address posted on the back of my 2000 Honda Insight. If you’re curious about the car, it averages about 60 miles to the gallon. I purchased it on eBay two years ago, and it is worth every penny of the $8900 I paid for it! While it only has three cylinders, it still is peppy enough to go 70+ miles per hour on the highway with ease. It’s funny to note that this same car is now going for about $12-13,000 on eBay now because of gas prices. I’ve always been able to catch a trend before the masses - lucky me! Yes, I am a diehard environmentalist. It’s important to understand that what we do to the environment, we do to ourselves because we are unquestionably connected. This is not just a new age concept - it is scientifically proven. Long live mother earth. :o)
Thanks for visiting.
