Spice and Herb Research Indicates that the foods you eat can make or break your health! The latest research shows that many diseases can be stopped and/or reversed by changing the food you eat, especially using healing herbs and spices.

I used to use the same spices and herbs over and over in my cooking. That was until my health took a turn to the not so good. After several heart attacks, high blood pressure and cholesterol, I began searching for natural means to help my body be healthier. I began slowly.

I knew the Mediterranean way of eating was considered by experts to be the healthiest of many. I started with a few spices I was familiar with and had used. Oregano, Basil, and switched from using vegetable oil to Olive Oil, pure virgin cold pressed Olive Oil. Now my daily cooking includes lots of spices that have actually made meals much tastier and I like knowing I have improved my own health tremendously.

Ease Into It. If you haven't been physical, one of the quickest ways to sidetrack your workout plan is to do too much too soon.

You need reasonable goals. Don't set the standard too high to begin but aim for better each workout.

Work out someplace where you enjoy being. You don't need a gym, a walk in a safe area is good and you can add stretches, use some weights, and grab a workout buddy.

Be sensible about aches and pains. When you feel it hurting, it's time to change the routine. Don't overdo or you won't do.

Don't Let Your Health Be Poor Health

Keep your brain healthy, sharp, and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's with these scientifically-proven strategies:

Several scientific studies show that people who stayed on a Mediterranean style diet had a lower incidence of Alzheimer's, compared with those who did not follow this diet.

High levels of homocysteine may be associated with poor cognitive function. Some findings indicate that reducing homocysteine with folic acid may increase cognitive function.
Framingham study found individuals with the top quartile levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and tuna, measured at baseline had lower rates of Alzheimer's over nine years of follow-up. These fish are all rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.

Or is it success brings happiness? Either way, your health is improved tremendously when you are happy with your life.
Being happy is a gift you give to yourself. When you depend on others to make you happy they can often disappoint you.
When you depend on outside sources, objects, or circumstances to make you happy, you are ignoring the main current of happiness, you.
Remember, only you can make you happy! Others can contribute to your happiness but it's how you deal with life that will be the ultimate happiness creation.

I think we all know what stress can do to us. Your body produces a surge of hormones when you're in a stressful situation. These hormones temporarily increase your blood pressure by causing your heart to beat faster and your blood vessels to narrow.
Some symptoms you can experience when under stress are, thumping heart, tense muscles, shortness of breath, profuse sweating, all from the adrenaline release.
It has become one of the main causes of some diseases.
Managing your stress health is just as important as our physical health.

Why I Like Shopping Online

Since I don't enjoy local shopping crowds, standing in line, finding a customer service rep, etc, Online is perfect for me.

I like the convenience of shopping 24/7 and in many states, there is no sales tax. 

I find product reviews are the best reasons for shopping online. You can read a description of a product, which will tell you the reliability, construction, and price as well as what people liked or didn't like about a product.  I know paid reviewers write some reviews, you will almost always find honest reviews by people satisfied and not satisfied with the product.

I have learned to never shop the Internet without reading reviews, even if I'm not buying the product from Amazon. Sometimes I even check them before buying an item in my local store. Thanks to my Kindle, or my iPhone, I can check online prices with either one or the other.

Last week I saved some money on two items because I read reviews from buyers.  I was looking for a birthday gift for one of my grandsons. I saw a man's bracelet I thought was perfect for him and the price was better than right.

Before hitting 'buy', I scrolled down and read a few reviews. That saved me from making a buying mistake and a disappointed grandson.  Most of the reviews panned the product for several reasons. Some wrote they threw it out and others said the item broke within days of wearing.

The next item I thought was perfect for me was a counter top oven. It also was a good price. I checked to see if I could get it at Walmart. I could, but before dashing to my local Walmart store, I went back to the product info and read the reviews. Glad I did, I saved myself $$$$$$$. 

If you shop online, I hope you take advantage of reading the reviews, especially the ones on Amazon.

Prevent and Cure Your Joint Pain Naturally

We are living longer,let's make life more liveable.

My research for healing arthritis and joint pain using natural products. None are an overnight cure--some take a couple months but it's food, spices, herbs, not synthetic chemical pills.


Pinkseafood like Salmon fights inflammation better than Vitamin E. People taking blood thinner should be careful taking Vitamin E.  Test show it's the Astaxanthin in the fish that helps fight inflammation.

Onions to strengthen Cartilage?  2 cups weekly, raw or cooked. It's the quercetin and sulfur nutrients that shield cartilage from damage and promotes healing if already damaged.

Yes, Olive Oil--it's been working for me like a pain killer. Don't tell anyone but I take it straight from the bottle--couple tablespoons. It's a natural source of oleocanthal that resarch has shown to be as effective as ibuprofen for pain.

Curcumin, the active ingredient in Turmeric. 22 studies determined it can reduce irritation and swelling 50% or more in 3 months some medications. It works with our immune system to reduce the making of COX-2, an enzyme that can erode healthy joint tissue.  A couple weeks ago I combined Turmeric, Ginger, Curcumin, and dry mustard in a spice bottle. It gets sprinkled on salads, soups, dips, every day. I also sprinkle on Braggs Amino Acid

Recently I started getting up from the PC and walking around the house for a timed 10 minutes every hour. It seems to be helping...planning to increase it 20 20 minutes three times a day.
