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.

Why My Quick Tips 4 U Blog

Why I write this 'Quickie Tips 4 Life" Blog.

I started researching health because I wasn't healthy.  The same is true of the other subjects in this blog:wealth; style; diet; exercise; and beauty.  Spiritual doesn't enter the same category because I've had a spiritual side of me for as long as I can remember. I've learned so much reading articles and magazines, and websites, that I decided I wanted to capsulize it and share the info with others.  I hope you will subscribe to the feed, become a regular viewer, comment, and add your tips.  Yes, I also do this blog to earn extra income.  It's a plus benefit. 

Today's Quickie Tips

Health:

There's a definitive connection between living well and healthfully and having a cheerful outlook on life.  

Wealth:

Before buying anything, especially a major item, determine if it is something you want or something you need. If it's just a want, you might put it off for awhile and find later you really didn't want it at all, or you might get it on sale.

Beauty:

Try using a light brushing of baby powder on your face after putting on your make up and see if it gives you a glow. Not too much. A little bit will do you.

Exercise:

Don't think you have to go to a gym to exercise. Put some vigor into your daily routine. Pushing that vacuum cleaner or dusting with speed and power, and stretching as you do routine activities can be an exercise routine.

Diet:

Have at least one meal a week without cooking. Create a plate of raw veggies, some mixed fruit, and perhaps a dab of yogurt with a slice of whole grain bread.

Spiritual:

Helping someone in need can be a very spiritual and rewarding experience. You don't have to be religious to be spiritual.

Style:

At least once a year, more if you can afford it, have your hair done with a good stylist, especially coloring.

Foods Contaminated. Foods Bad for Us. From a '60 Minute Special'. A must Read.

BAD FOOD

This was shown on “60 Minutes” !

Starkist Tuna is now owned by Korea, and is in big conflict with the U.S.concerning quality, safety, and records, which Korea refuses to provide.  

There have been several articles on Google about this and even one defending the eating of tilapia, said to avoid the fish that came from China .   

Albertson's4-day special of 4 bags of frozen tilapia for the price of one.  Sure enough, on the top of the bags it read "farm raised", and on the bottom in small print it said, " China ".

read all the waydown... 
Recently a Foodinspector on TV said he had lived overseas and he had seen the filthy conditions their foods are raised and processed in.

It is enough to make you throw up.  Some foreignworkers have to wear masks as they work in these places, because the food is so rotten and filthy, it makes them want to throw up.  Many of their Fish onFish Farms are fed Raw sewage daily.  He said he has seen so much filth throughout their food growing and processing that he would "never"eat any of it.  They raise this filth , put some food coloring and some flavorings on it, then they ship it to the USA & Canada for YOU to consume and feed to YOUR families.  They have no Food &Safety Inspectors. They ship it to you to buy and poison your families and friends.
Imported food we eat and the junk we buy

Green Giant frozen vegetables are from China ,and so are most of Europe 's Best.

Arctic Gardens are Okay.  So is Birdseye.
Never buy the grocery store garlic unless it is clearly marked from USA or Canada, the other stuff is grown in people poop (even worse than chicken poop).

China is the largest producer of garlic in the worldU.S.is next.
Buy only local honey, much honey is shipped in huge containers from China and re-packed here.
Cold-FX is grown and packed in China and is full of fecal bacteria.  Doesn't work anyway, big scam. 

If the country of origin is not clearly marked beware.

If produce, ask an employee.
Watch out for packages which state "prepared for", "packed by" or "imported by".  I don't understand the lack of mandatory labeling, especially the produce.
The country of origin should be clearly shown on the item in the store.  I go to the local farmers' markets in season and keep a wary eye open the rest of the year.
Please read this very carefully, and read to the very bottom.  It's important for all of us.
How is it possible to ship food from China cheaper than having it produced in the U.S.or Canada?
FOR EXAMPLE THE"OUR FAMILY" BRAND OF MANDARIN ORANGES SAYS RIGHT ON THE CAN 'FROM CHINA '. SO, FOR A FEW MORE CENTS, BUY THE LIBERTY BRAND.

GOLD BRAND OR THE DOLE IS FROM CALIFORNIA
Beware, Costco sells canned peaches and pears in a plastic jar that come from China .
ALL "HIGHLINER" AND MOST OTHER FROZEN FISH PRODUCTS COME FROM CHINA OR INDONESIA . THE PACKAGE MAY SAY"PACIFIC SALMON" ON THE FRONT, BUT LOOK FOR THE SMALL PRINT. MOST OF THESE PRODUCTS COME FROM FISH FARMS IN THE ORIENT WHERE THERE ARE NO REGULATIONS ON WHAT IS FED TO THESE FISH.
Recently The Montreal Gazette had an article by the Canadian Government on how Chinese feed the fish: They suspend chicken wire crates over the fish ponds, and the fish feed on chicken s--t.

If you search the internet about what the Chinese feed their fish, you'll be alarmed; e.g., growth hormones, expired anti-biotic from humans.  Never buy any type of fish or shellfish that comes from these countries: Vietnam , China , Philippines .
Check this out personally.  I did.  Steinfeld's Pickles are made in India - just as bad!
Another example is in canned mushrooms.  No-Name brand came from Indonesia .
Also check those littlefruit cups.  They used to be made in Canada in the Niagara region until about 2 years ago. They are now packaged in China!
While the Chinese export inferior and even toxic products, dangerous toys, and goods to be sold in North American markets, the media wrings its hands!
Yet, 70% of NorthAmericans believe that the trading privileges afforded to the Chinese should be suspended!
Well, duh! Why do you need the government to suspend trading privileges?

SIMPLY DO IT YOURSELF, CANADA AND THE U.S.!

Simply look on the bottom of every product you buy, and ifit says 'Made in China ' or 'PRC' (and that now includes Hong Kong ),simply choose another product, or none at all.  You will be amazed at how dependent you are on Chinese products, and you will be equally amazed at what you can do without.
THINK ABOUT THIS:
If 200 million North Americans refuse to buy just $20 each of Chinese goods, that’s a billion dollar trade imbalance resolved in our favor... fast! The downside?  Some Canadian/American businesses will feel a temporary pinch from having foreign stockpiles of inventory.
Just one month of trading losses will hit the Chinese for 8% of their North American exports.

Then they will at least have to ask themselves if the benefits of their arrogance and lawlessness areworth it.
START NOW and don'tstop.

Here's the link to the 60 Minute Program

 http://www.okieandfriends.com/t4928-bad-food-being-sold-as-on-60-minutes

Health:

A Tuft's University study found that diet and other lifestyles factors that help you control your blood sugar, not only help prevent diabetes and heart disease, they will help preserve your memory as you age. 

Wealth:

Warehouse shopping not for you because of bulk buying?  Start a shopping club with a friend.  Split the bulk items such as shampoo, toothpaste, and even things you can freeze like meat.  Plan your list together and take turns being the shopper.

Diet:

Have lots of protein for breakfast with a small bit of carbs.  The carbs will burn quickly giving you energy, the protein burns more slowly keeping you from having cravings early.  I'll give you a link to some fat blasting menus in the comment section.

Exercise:

Make it quick, make it easy.  If you know you aren't going to have to spend a lot of time doing it, you'll be more likely to do it, exercise that is.  Do three 10 minute exercise routines throughout the day.  Some jumping jacks when you get up; a brisk ten minute walk at lunch time; lift some weights before dinner in the evening. 

Style:

Start thinking spring.  Check out some catalogs and fashion magazines to see the new colors for this season.  Check your closet, see if you have anything in those colors and build around what you already have.

Spiritual:

The power of meditating is overwhelming not  just to your spiritual life, but your day to day living.  Quality meditating can help you achieve amazing accomplishments in your life.

Quick Tips for U - August 31, 2013

Health:

Memorize something everyday.  It will keep your brain sharp and your memory functioning.  

If memorizing isn't easy for you, start with something simple, like a rhyme, or song lyrics, then work up to quotes from some of your favorite writers, especially poets and don't forget science and history.

Wealth:

Use envelope system budgeting. Separate your spending into categories, (grocery, gas, rent, etc.) Place your money in each envelope and once it's empty-you must wait until the next month to spend in that category.

Style:

Use the Internet, to explore all the latest happenings in the world of clothes and accessories. You can browse through a number of websites that are associated with glamour. -  I find checking fashion on Amazon is a good place to start for basic ideas of new styles.  Prices are pretty good.

Diet:

I gradually removed junk food from my apartment.  I took one food at a time, like potato chips.  After a week of not having them, I was over the desire.  I followed that with removing all soda and sweet drinks.  I made jars of flavored water, orange juice squirted in distilled water, squeeze of lemon in another and I put a bit of Maple Syrup for a sugar like effect in one.  Once all major junk food was out of the apartment, I turned to what I am supposed to eat for better health and learned ways of serving fruits and vegetables to a point where I looked forward to eating them.

Exercise: 

Low impact intervals of exercise can act as a powerful way to supercharge your health.  No need to spend time getting into gym clothes or driving to the gym and working out.  Do it at home, a walk or even turn on some up beat music and dance, dance, dance.

Spiritual:

Even if you aren't religious, you can still find time to commune with nature and feel a connection with your inner spirit. Sometimes silence brings on volumes of thoughts and ideas.

Quick Tips author, M. Bradley McCauley writes news and her views daily on Bubblews where you can speak freely and write your words and get paid.

Health:  

The latest research shows that many diseases can be stopped and/or reversed by changing the food we eat, especially by using healing herbs and spices.

Healing Herbs and Spices for the Health of It 

Wealth:  

Did you know that manufactures often ship their new line of clothes to discount stores at the same time they ship them to high priced department stores?

Learn how to know if you have the real thing at the discount store.

Diet::

 Recently on his daily TV Show, Dr. Oz suggested taking a tablespoon of white vinegar before each meal to help lose weight and fight belly fat.

Exercise:

Set goals but make them realistic.  Make your goals specific and measurable so you can gauge whether or not you're meeting them.  And remember to consult your medical care provider before starting an exercise program.

Style:

Jeans are making all the scenes, from AM to PM, dress them up or down by your choice of tops, shoes and jewelry. 

Skinny, colored jeans are more than this this season's fashion must-have -- they are becoming the apparel industry's savior.

"It's a trend that's appealing to people of all sizes and all budgets," said Catherine Moellering, executive vice president of the Tobe Report, which forecasts fashion merchandising trends. "Color isn't about status. This is a trend that looks great if you buy it at $19 or $199."

Make up:

Always apply  concealer with a concealer brush that has smooth, synthetic bristles that are made for cream (not powder) formulas

Spiritual:

"The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another."  William James

It's up to you to choose the right one.
