Your February Health Success Free Monthly ezine February 06, 2024 |
| Hi there
I hope you enjoy the e-zine as much as I do writing it. Index: Warren’s Notes :
Hi,
I hope this new month finds you well. We are in the middle of Summer here, a year forecast to be very dry and very hot. Bushfire weather. We still have our ’GrandDog’ with us, the 2 ½ year old Rottweiler, Junior. I think this is doing good things for fitness and body shape but I made the commitment to myself to do the walking (and to not buy any chocolate) for 90 days and then review outcomes.
I’ll check out weight etc at the end of February. In our newsletter we
talk about realistic changes in what we do every day then and keeping with them over time. I’ve been using Herbal.Life products for over 30 years now. Having the broad spectrum nutrition sorted first thing every day gives a comfort as we get older and as friends and associates keep having health problems and even chronic health issues.
Good nutrition and regular exercise does not guarantee wellness and healthy aging but we do what we can. With the dogs, the Rottie, Junior, is a nice dog, very
handsome, but also very boisterous. Often in the afternoon I take our old Labrador (Topaz) up to the local aged care facility here in town. I break up dog biscuits for them and each has a handful of small pieces that they throw for Topaz. He catches out of the air. Then, when I leave just before dinner time, there are normally 4 or 5 of the other residents waiting quietly in the foyer so they can have a pat as well. I thought that was just because they were getting ready for dinner but the other day, as I was walking down the
corridor to the exit, I heard one of the ladies saying quietly, “here he comes”. It can take 15 minutes to get out the door when everyone wants a pat. It is nice for me also when such a simple thing brings such pleasure to the oldies. Anyway, it is time for me to go home and collect Topaz if I am going to visit them today. I hope you enjoy today's newsletter and find value in it. Warren

Optimal Health Tip:BASIC WEIGHT MANAGEMENTThe perfect diet should be combined with a healthy weight management or activity program. Weight management may conjure up that dreaded “exercise” word. And exercise to some means pushing the body beyond limits, experiencing painful in joints, muscles, bones - everywhere. No pain no gain, right? Wrong. Instead, replace the word “exercise” with “activity” and incorporate this in your daily routine. And a general rule of thumb for guidelines about “activity” would be to strive for a minimum of 30 minutes for adults or 60 minutes for children of moderate physical activity daily. Individual activity goals depend upon each person’s health and weight goals and issues. Begin by checking with your medical advisor or healthcare physician to get a green light on which activities would be suitable for you, what your target weight range should be and a strategic plan to improve your health. In a nutshell, during activities, calories are burned, pounds are shed in the long run. And the number of calories burned depends upon the duration and intensity or the activity. Slow and steady is the rule of thumb. And note daily progress. For those who have never been very active at all, it may be advisable to begin slow like with walking 10 minutes each day, gradually building up time and distance with increased “brisk” pacing. Even if you can’t get out to walk, bike or swim, take stairs instead of elevators and escalators. Clean your house. Clean your car. Wash windows. Wash your dog. Check out exercise videos, cassettes and workout books from the public library and put some of their ideas into action. Check out your local fitness centers, YMCA, community center, too, for ideas. Partner up with a neighbor to walk or join a community volleyball team. There are unlimited ways to be active and enjoy life at the same time without using painful weight loss strategies.

An Essential Guide To Gut Health
The Consequences of an Unhealthy Gut excerpt: There are three primary consequences of an unhealthy gut: inflammation, nutrient absorption issues, and immune / autoimmune issues. All of these issues can have devastating health consequences. Inflammation It is believed that the gut is the primary cause of inflammation in the body. Inflammation is a primary contributor to disease and also results in many uncomfortable symptoms. An inflamed body is an uncomfortable body. There are several symptoms that can be caused by inflammation, including: 1. Insomnia. It might be hard to believe, but gut inflammation has been shown to be a cause of insomnia. If you have trouble sleeping, and you’re unable to pinpoint another cause, your sleepless nights might be due to gut inflammation. 2. Acne and other skin
disorders. It is believed that acne, psoriasis, and many other skin conditions can be caused by inflammation in the digestive tract. 3. Depression. Inflammation that reaches the brain can influence the production and ratio of neurotransmitters. 4. Anxiety. Anxiety without an identifiable cause can also be caused by inflammation. 5. Fatigue. Inflammation can lead to imbalances in the body’s stress hormones, resulting in adrenal fatigue and overall fatigue throughout the body. 6. Brain fog. Inflammation in the brain can be a cause of brain fog. 7. Hormone imbalances. In females, gut inflammation can alter the levels of hormones and cause hot flashes, alter menstrual cycle length, and affect PMS symptoms. In men, hormonal imbalances due to gut inflammation
can result in fatigue, muscle loss, erectile dysfunction, and poor memory. 8. Thyroid-related symptoms. Systemic inflammation in the body can make it more challenging for your body to utilize thyroid hormone properly. This can result in symptoms of hypothyroidism, even if your thyroid hormone levels are normal. Nutrient Absorption Issues The nutrients that your body are able to absorb and utilize are affected by your gut bacteria. While most of the absorption of nutrients in the human body occurs in the small intestine, there is also a significant amount of digestion that occurs in the large intestine. Nearly all of the digestion that occurs in the large intestine is the result of bacterial activity. The bacteria ferment the remaining proteins and carbohydrates that made it beyond the small intestine. These proteins and
carbohydrates are converted into short-chain fatty acids which can be used for energy in the body. Bacteria in the gut are also needed to synthesize vitamin B12, thiamin, folate, riboflavin, vitamin K, and biotin. A healthy gut is necessary for synthesis and absorption of nutrients. Autoimmune and Immune-Related Issues Interestingly, gut bacteria are believed to play a huge role in autoimmune diseases. It turns out that proteins produced by common gut bacteria can serve as the trigger for many autoimmune diseases such as ulcerative colitis and rheumatoid arthritis. These proteins mimic proteins that naturally occur in the human body. The immune system becomes sensitized to these proteins and begins attacking these proteins and the naturally occurring proteins. Leaky gut syndrome can also contribute to autoimmune disorders. We’ll
discuss leaky gut syndrome shortly. An unhealthy gut can be the primary cause of many autoimmune disorders, such as: 1. Celiac disease. Celiac disease is an immune disorder that prevents people from eating gluten without injury to the small intestine. The immune system is activated in the presence of gluten and attacks the small intestine. 2. Gluten intolerance. There are many people that don’t have a true gluten allergy but are very sensitive to gluten in the diet. 3. Inflammatory bowel disease. This is a broad term that describes disorders that involve chronic inflammation in the digestive tract. It includes several diseases, the most common of which are ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease. 4. Depression. There is mounting evidence that an autoimmune issue is at least partially
responsible for some cases of depression. 5. Irritable bowel syndrome. While celiac disease affects the small intestine, irritable bowel syndrome targets the large intestine. Irritable bowel syndrome doesn’t cause permanent damage but can be troubling to manage. An immune system response or changes in gut bacteria are often to blame. 6. Food allergies and reactivity. Bacteria imbalances in the gut have been implicated in many food allergy cases. Intolerances to certain foods can also be blamed on gut flora. 7. Joint pain. Rheumatoid arthritis can cause great joint pain and long-term damage in the joints that are affected. This is an autoimmune disease that affects 1.3 million people in the United States. 8. Hypothyroidism. The most common cause of hypothyroidism is an autoimmune disease that
is often treated by addressing infections in the gut. Hopefully, it’s beginning to become clear just how important a healthy gut is for general health. 100 trillion bacteria have the potential to either cause a lot of challenges or to support good health. Autoimmune diseases can be debilitating and life threatening.
Spending time in nature. Taking a walk in a park or hiking through the woods are easy and practical ways of reconnecting with nature, as are gardening, bike riding in the country, and camping and boating trips. By making it a habit to spend regular amounts of time outdoors within a natural setting, you enable yourself to better appreciate the rhythms of life, including your own. As Dr. Ivker points out, "We need to recognize that cities and other industrialized areas can prevent us from living a life of balance. Spending time in nature helps restore that balance, while also deepening our connection with Spirit." Spending time near the water can also be a spiritually healthy experience, due to water's higher
concentration of negative ions, which can contribute to feelings of well-being. Swimming in the ocean, lakes, or rivers is a great way to benefit from this life-enhancing energy. Soaking in a mineral hot spring can provide therapeutic benefits for a variety of ailments, as well. Exposure to fire around a campground or before a fireplace can also have health benefits, according to Leonard Orr, who has found that fire cleanses the bioenergy field of negative energies, and can be a powerful aid in curing physical disease. Orr recommends spending a few hours each day before fire for people who want to experience such benefits. Fire is also an important component of the vision quests undertaken by Native Americans to connect with the Great Spirit and discover their life purpose. Of all nature's elements, perhaps the closest expression of Spirit is the air. Clean, fresh air is essential to health on all
levels, and practicing conscious breathing as outlined above is a potent self-care method for restoring energy and making you more aware of the power of Spirit as it flows through you. Regularly exposure to each of these four elements can help you become more conscious of how Spirit's loving intelligence sustains the world, while more deeply recognizing your place within it. We hope you found this information helpful to you and that you will put the content to good use for improving your health and well being. New order website for Australian customers:

Featured Store Product:Omega-3 Fatty Acids Reduce Risk of AMDAge-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a major cause of
central vision loss in the elderly. Treatments are limited and
hope lies in reducing the risk of the disease and preventing its development. A study reported at the Annual Meeting of the
Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, in
Florida, May, 2003, provides new data supporting the effects of
diet and nutrients, in lowering the risks of having a type of
AMD that leads to blurred vision, and in severe cases, blindness. Approximately 1.7
million people over 64, suffer from the
severe form AMD, that leads to blindness. The macula is an area
located in the center of the retina and is responsible for fine
and detailed central vision. The degenerative changes associated with AMD include alterations in the retinal tissues and atrophy of the cells, that account for a number of different types of AMD, and the formation of new blood vessels (neovacularization) under the retina, that accounts for another type, called neovascular AMD, where leaking blood vessels distort the retina and cause blurred vision and loss of eye sight. The studies indicate an independent association between fish
intake and omega-3 fatty acids intake and neovascular AMD,
showing that high intake of fish, or omega-3 fatty acids,
halves- the risk of having the disease. Ted Roxan is editor of Vision Update, http://visionupdate.net. Lifeline - a nutritional marine lipid complex

What is EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing - Psychotherapy Treatment?Its purpose is one that’s intended to relieve stress and other negative feelings that can be caused by traumatic memories.This can be living through a traumatic event yourself or witnessing it happen to someone else. There are three different parts to the EMDR therapy that can be a help to people. The first part is dealing with the events and memories that are responsible for the emotional problems you’ve been experiencing. In this first part of dealing with the events, you’ll learn how to create new links that you can associate with the events and memories. EMDR therapy works in that it can have you feeling safe and in control in your environment rather than afraid and feeling like the world is not a safe place for you to be in. The second part that can help people who use EMDR techniques is targeting the present situations that might provoke your distress. During the sessions, while you’re going through the phases, you’ll be doing work designed to desensitize any external and internal triggers you may have. Many people have certain triggers that will cause them to feel as powerless and scared as they were at the time the actual event took place. The person can feel like he or she is actual back in the event or seeing it again. EMDR can help you overcome the emotions and issues that are connected with that. The third part involves using imagery.
What Problems Can Be Helped by EMDR? There are several problems and symptoms that can be handled by using the teachings of EMDR. Extremely traumatic events such as sexual and physical abuse can be successfully treated. Rape victims can find relief from the traumatic memories through the techniques offered. Child traumas can also be treated by using
EMDR. Experiencing the death of a loved one can be difficult. Losing someone that you care about can be a traumatic event that can cause people to become stuck. EMDR can also help you overcome the trauma of losing someone that you love. There are other traumatic events that can require the need for a treatment like EMDR. If you witness a terrible trauma or the abuse of someone else, it can affect you emotionally. So can going through a natural disaster or even watching it unfold on television. Going through a short term event can have long term emotional consequences. An example of this would be having a house fire or being in a car accident. When you go through something like that, these events can bring on feelings of loss of control and fear. In some
cases, if you experience a trauma that leads to the death of someone else, you can develop survivor’s guilt. These feelings can be worked through during EMDR. Continue Reading The New Online Guide About EMDR - Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing - Psychotherapy Treatment Here >>

Pain associated with the disease process, such as fractures, is frequently controlled by immobilization.

Pain may be indicative of complications. Pain associated with compartment syndrome is relentless and is controlled by modalities such as elevation, application of cold if prescribed, and usual dosages of analgesics.

ailments such as shin splint, try to read on and see for yourself what type of treatment is applicable to your foot problem.

Remember, the best medicine is always LAUGHTER, so enjoy! Quotable Quotes Every time I walk into a singles bar I can hear Mom's wise
words: "Don't pick that up, you don't know where it's been!" A good friend will come and bail you out of jail, but a
true friend will be sitting next to you saying, "Whoa! That
was fun!" I don't do drugs. I get the same effect just standing up
real fast. I live in my own little world. But it's OK. They know me here. I don't approve of political jokes. I've seen too many of
them get elected. I love being married. It's great to find that one special
person you want to
annoy for the rest of your life. I signed up for an exercise class and was told to wear
loose-fitting clothing. If I HAD any loose-fitting
clothing, I wouldn't have signed up in the first place! When I was young we used to go "skinny dipping," now I just
"chunky dunk." Why is it that our children can't read a Bible in school,
but they can in prison? Brain cells come and brain cells go, but FAT cells live
forever. I saw a woman wearing a sweat shirt with "Guess" on it. So
I said "Implants?" She hit me. If raising children was going to be easy, it never would
