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…

They have really great health and fitness articles on a wide array of topics making this a great resource for anything you’re dealing with or want to know about.

For example, check out their How to stop smoking post! Really practical thinking about what happens to your body, so you know what to expect and why things are happening, and how to overcome this addiction that could take your life.

I found the articles to be so informative and I wasn’t left wanting more because they skimped!

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!

Unfortunately, I learned about passing a kidney stone the hard way!

Photo left: An 8mm kidney stone

That’s right folks, just passed my very first kidney stone tonight, and let me tell you, it’s NO JOKE whatsoever!

From what I heard this past week from EMS, the nurses and doctors in the Emergency Room, specialists and anyone that’s known someone, who has had to pass a kidney stone, it is supposedly more painful than having a baby!

Well, I have never had a baby yet, but I can certainly attest to the fact that it’s the most painful thing I’ve ever had to go through in my life!

My stone was 4 mm. I’ve known about it since July, when it was seen on a CT scan as an incidental finding. “Oh, by the way, you have a 4 mm kidney stone too.” Yeah, thanks…NOT!

I haven’t had pain with it until Sunday night, when within 5 minutes I went from feeling fine, to screaming Continue Reading…
