You To Be Healthy

  Happy New Year Shaklee Family! Just so you know, I do not use ChatGPT to write my emails or articles. You’ll get my real words, complete with the occasional spelling and punctuation errors.  At least you’ll know it’s authentic! 😄 I wanted to briefly touch on a problem that many of us face, myself included, when we roll around to the new year. That is overwhelm. You thought I was going to say resolutions, or health goals, didn’t you? We all seem to make resolutions and many of those resolutions center around some health goal. Lose weight, build strength, run a mini marathon. Whatever it is, we set it, we may even take the necessary steps to achieve it, then come sometime in February we give up. Life gets busy, we have an illness or injury setback and Bam! We’ve fallen off the wagon, so-to-speak. It happens. I have learned there is a pattern and often the reason we don’t accomplish our new year goals is because we sometimes try to change too much, too soon. ...

  Any form of digestive upset can be uncomfortable and disruptive, but there's no need to let conditions like constipation and diarrhea prevent you from living your best life. With careful management of both the symptoms and root causes, including certain gastrointestinal health conditions that can alter your bowel movements, you can get constipation and diarrhea under control. This means you can spend less time in the bathroom and more time doing the things you love. Constipation Both constipation and diarrhea involve irregularities in bowel movements. Constipation refers to bowel movements that come infrequently and are more difficult. It is often painful to have a bowel movement when you are constipated, as stools harden after about three days. In addition to less frequent bowel movements, constipation can also include symptoms such as bloating and stomach cramping. You may be more likely to develop hemorrhoids if you strain when attempting to have a bowel movement...

You probably know what foods you need to be eating for a stronger immune system. It is as easy as adding fresh, unprocessed protein, vegetables, fruit, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds to your daily and weekly diet for you to start feeling better. It's a wonderful bonus that many of those foods are excellent for providing other health advantages like a strong heart, better brain functioning and an improved respiratory system. Speaking of bolstering your heart, brain and respiratory process, exercise can provide those benefits as well. And you don't have to take up hours of weekly strength training or run 5 miles every day to benefit. Actually, over-training and exercising too hard can have a negative effect on your body's ability to fight off infection and illness. How "Smart" Exercise Works to Boost Immunity There is a lot of research on the multiple benefits of exercise. You feel great about yourself, you sleep better, your brain is more crisp and clear, and you ...

Weight loss has always been associated with calorie counting, restrictive diets, or rigorous workout programs. Just look at how many diet programs are out there making tall promises which only yield short-term, disappointing results. What most people don't realize is that there's an easier way to achieve sustainable weight loss, and that is by  balancing your blood sugar levels . Blood sugar simply refers to the amount of sugar or glucose in your blood, which comes from carbohydrates. During digestion, carbohydrates are broken down into sugar molecules and sent to your bloodstream, increasing your blood-sugar levels. The hormone insulin is then released to bring the sugar out of your blood – and into your cells to be converted into energy. Any excess sugar from your meal that isn’t being used for energy right away gets stored as fat. So how does all this work? Highly refined carbs like white bread, high fructose corn syrup, and other sweet carbs are quickly digested and absorbe...

  Yawn…stretch…ugh, I could use a nap. Sound like you? Kids cranky? Yep, same here. The other day our daughter said that she heard they are considering stopping the daylight savings time change. I laughed out loud…hard. I’ve heard that promise for 40 years! So, until they decide to change it, here are a few tips to get you through it until your body can adjust. I’m talking things to help you have more energy. Sleep. I’m willing to bet you didn’t go to bed early last night and now you feel exhausted. Going forward however, you really need to think about your schedule and cut out the extra stuff that is keeping you and your kids from getting enough sleep. You know that kids through teen years need 10+ hours and you need at least 8 per night, right? I don’t care that you can technically get up and show up for your day on 4-6 hours, your body needs at least 8. Don’t make me pull out all the science and health studies on it. If you don’t believe me, then you ma...
