Your Health Today

When was the last time you had a real glass of juice?

I don’t mean a fruit-flavored drink or punch…I mean real juice - 100% juice not from concentrate!

Have you been drinking more coffee, tea or softdrinks than anything else?

It’s true that juice can suppress appetite - well, that’s because it’s full of calories. That’s okay because there are so many benefits of fresh fruit juices.

They’re chock full of vitamins, minerals, water and fiber.

Did you know you can go into your local Whole Foods Market and choose some fruits from their produce section and you can ask them to Continue Reading…

Why does it seem that the increase in Alzheimer’s these days is alarming?

Why is this happening? How can it be prevented?

So many questions, I know.

What I do know about Alzheimer’s is that it’s a debilitating disease, leaving the person confused, forgetful and even unable to recognize their friends and family.

This virtually “steals” that person from their family. It’s sad and it doesn’t feel fair for anyone.

Alzheimer’s patients often need 24 hour care or supervising because they can be a danger to themselves and others.

Forgetfulness could cause them to forget they’re cooking and this could cause a fire.

Disorientation and confusion could cause a person with Alzheimer’s to go missing because they can’t find their way home or forget where they’re from - even their name.

Not all hope is lost though. There are times when these people are completely lucid and able to carry on a conversation. It’s like they get a glimpse back into their own life for a brief moment, and can fade away into another world the next.

It’s a brain disease where the neurons no longer can transport the nerve impulses in the brain to and from each other creating what we know as memory and brain function.

Why Is This Happening?

Who hasn’t seen those commercials for the Nutrasystem Meal Plan?

You know those ones with Marie Osmond, Dan Marino, Chris Carter or Belinda Carlisle?

I know I have…

If you’re overweight or just want to lose a few pounds, this could be your healthy and simple answer.

Basically, you eat the food they send you and you lose weight, especially if you’ll get active at the same time!

This diet is based on glycemic index (something diabetics are extremely aware of with the food they eat), and it’s rich in good carbohydrates and is low in fat!

Now, carbohydrates are essential for good nutrition. However with such diets like Atkin’s, you don’t eat any carbs! That’s not healthy for you in any way, shape or form!

That way, you can shed those unwanted pounds without some crazy, fad diet. Nutrisystem has been around for a long time now and is safe and trusted.

What I thought was phenomenal about Nutrisystem Advanced is the many programs they offer:

1. Women’s
2. Men’s
3. Women over 60
4. Men over 60
5. Type II Diabetic
6. All Vegetarian

That’s a lot of choices, and no doubt, you fit into one of those programs!

Right now, you can get Nutrisystem with payments starting as low as $10/month and you can get 2 weeks of free meals when you purchase a 28-day program!
