Exercise Refreshes Your Body!

"Exercise Refreshes your Body, renews your energy and gives you strength."~ Don Colbert, M.D.


Everyday I take a whole food supplement, drink plenty of water, eat healthy foods, but lately I have not been exercising on a regular basis. During this past week, I began to feel sluggish and this caused me to reflect on my daily routine. There was one thing missing, "EXERCISE." So, I decided to work on incorporating a regular time during the week for exercise on my Mini-Jogger Trampoline. Now, I am feeling good again because I have been moving my body!


Dr. Don Colbert describes what happens to our bodies in his book, Seven Pillars of Health," when we do not excercise.  Dr. Colbert wrote:"Think of what happens when water sits for a long time in a cup, puddle or pond. It eventually gets covered with slime and gunk, breeds disease and becomes toxic."


Wow! That’s enough information for me to exercise on a regular basis, because I do not want my body to be a breeding ground for gunk, disease or toxins. Furthermore, I love the refreshing feeling I get after exercising along with eating healthy foods, taking whole food supplements, getting plenty of rest and drinking plenty of water.


If you do not know where to start, start by taking walks everyday, get a gym membership, purchase a treadmill or buy a trampoline. It's time to Get Moving! Your health depends on it!

Your health depends on your ability to relax and meditate

Your health depends on your ability to relax and meditate in a quiet place 5-20 minutes a day. Meditation can be done early in the morning, on your lunch break or every evening after work.

According to Elizabeth Scott, M.S., some of the benefits of meditation includes: "slowing your heart rate and breathing, your blood pressure normalizes, you use oxygen more efficiently, and you sweat less. Also, your adrenal glands produce less cortisol (stress hormone), your mind ages at a slower rate, and your immune function improves. Your mind also clears and your creativity increases."

Furthermore Elizabeth Scott wrote that, People who meditate regularly find it easier to give up life-damaging habits like smoking, drinking and drugs.

3 Steps to Meditation:

1. Find a quiet place in your home to meditate. (the car is also a great place to meditate on a lunch break)
2. Sit in a relaxed position close your eyes and clear your mind. (in a quiet place, or with relaxation music playing)
3. Focus on the relaxation music, something positive, or nothing at all.

My experience with meditation has been wonderful. I prefer to meditate early in the morning (to relaxation or worship music) when everyone in my house is sleeping. This guarantees no interruptions and I am able to start my day with a clear and focused mind!

The more you meditate the more you will enjoy it!


Happy Relaxation,

Dark Chocolate Has many Health Benefits

According to Daniel J DeNoon of Web Md Health News, Dark chocolate lowers blood pressure, good for your heart and loaded with antioxidants. Now that's some Good news for those with High Blood Pressure!

Furthermore, the antioxidants in Chocolate gobble up free radicals, destructive molecules that are implicated in heart disease and other ailments, says Mauro Serafini, PhD, of Italy's National Institute for Food and Nutrition Research in Rome.

Italy's national Institite for food also found that milk may interfere with the absorption of antioxidants from chocolate ... and may therefore negate the potential health benefits that can be derived from eating moderate amounts of dark chocolate."


Translation: Say "Dark, please," when ordering at the chocolate counter. Don't even think of washing it down with milk. And if health is your excuse for eating chocolate, remember the word "moderate" as you nibble (2003).

15 Minutes in the Sun will Reduce your Chances of Catching a Cold or Flu

Here is something to think about. Do you see many people catching a cold or the flu in the Summer time? You are right the answer is "No." We spend more time outdoors in the summer time absorbing Vitamin D from the Sun. Study shows that Vitamin D builds our immune system. During the Fall and winter people tend to spend more time indoors. This means that your body does not get as much Vitamin D from the Sun rays.

The Winthrop University Hospital reports that spending 15 minutes in the sun daily during the last days of summer could reduce your chances of catching a cold or flu by 300 percent. More over, Dr. Michael Holick of Boston University School of Medicine says that the body stores Vitamin D in fatty tissue, which could last up to four months.

Get started today spending 15minutes in the sun to build up your immune system and reduce your chances of catching a cold or a Flu!

We need water for optimal health....Have you tried Fiji Water?

It is recommended that women consume at least 2.7 Liters of water and men consume over 3 liters of water a day. I know, this seems like a lot of water, however, the body needs it for optimal health. Here are some benefits to drinking the recommended amount of water a day:

• Regulated body temperature
• lowered blood pressure
• internal cleansings of cells
• aids in weight loss and digestive system
• organs will function better and so much more!

Have you Tried Fiji Water?

 Fiji water contains minerals and nutrients that are healthy for our bodies including: Silica(85), Magnesium (13), Calcium (17), and a Ph of 7.5. These nutrients are found in a 1.05pt bottle of Fiji water. Magnesium is important in helping to maintain a lower blood pressure, ask your physician or research it. Calcium is needed to maintain healthy bones and strong teeth. This is just a small list of benefits of drinking Fiji water.

I have read many stories about how Fiji water is simply tap water, but do we really know that? I do know that the water that is flushed down our toilets, the hair products that we rinse down our sinks, the pesticides that we use on our lawns are all flushed back into our water system. I do not want to drink that! One more thing to consider, take a look at your pipes around your faucet. Is there corrosion or hard water staining? Do you want that in your body?

The cost of drinking Fiji water is cheaper than having a load of medical bills for having high blood pressure or any other medical condition that is associated with not drinking enough water.

Share your experiences of drinking Fiji water by commenting on this blog. I believe the more Fiji water we drink, the demand will be higher and eventually the cost will be more affordable.
