Making Healthy Happen - how small changes over time add up

Just about everything we do affects our health in some way, That donut you ate today isn't going to make you fat tomorrow. But if you ate a donut every day for years, that's another story.
Watch this little video to get an idea of the effect of lots of tiny actions, one after another.  Then after the video, I will share some tiny actions I have discovered that could turn things around for the better. 

People often ask me - what should I take for this? Maybe they have high cholesterol or digestion problems, or you fill in the blank. But we are talking about food supplements, not medicine. The key word here is "food." Hippocrates said, "Let food be thy medicine, and medicine be thy food." The difference between food and medicine, is food needs to be eaten every day, and feeds our cells so they can keep us healthy. Medicine, on the other hand, is taken after something goes WRONG, and is meant to be taken for a limited time until the crisis is averted. 
With medicine, we expect a quick response.
​With food, response time can take longer, especially if we are trying to change something.
Some food supplements take a week or two to be fully integrated into your system, so they need to be taken every day, for a month or so, before you can tell the difference. Other supplements can show a dramatic result even the same day. Stress Relief Complex is one of those - you can feel relief in a very short time.

Make sure your food supplements are actually FOOD. If they are mostly chemicals, your body won't recognize them as food, and even may reject them as invaders. The supplements I use are tested thousands of times, from raw ingredients to final product, to make sure they are completely safe from contaminants and toxins. You have probably heard of recalls of vitamins and even baby food, for unsafe ingredients. I wouldn't take anything that didn't have proof of safety.

So what are some little things you can do?

First of all, you could get an assessment of your current health and recommendations of what might help you get on a better track. This assessment is called Meology, because it is unique to YOU. You would enter what you know from your last doctor visit, plus your lifestyle and eating habits. There is more information on Meology right here on this website. You can learn more on that page and even link to take the free assessment - it only takes 5 minutes.

Then, look over the results of the quiz and the recommendations. Decide small actions you will take to change your state of health. Some examples might be:

• Make your meal times regular instead of random. 
• Don't eat after 8:00 pm (or decide a time that gives you a 12-hour window between last meal/snack and breakfast.)
• Eat breakfast - and make sure you get some protein. No sugary cereals!
• Learn the benefits of eating less, or no, meat.
• Get some exercise every day
• If your weight is in the overweight or obese caegory - do something about it. (Contact me - I can help steer you in the right direction.) Overweight increases the risk factors for many life-threatening diseases. Here's a  Health Chat about healthy weight.
