As We Age

Silver Sneaker

Getting back into the workout routine after taking several days off is tough. I recently found out just how tough it is. It was only a 12-day interruption, but boy, I felt it! I hope and plan never to take such a long break from daily exercise again if I can help it. This go-’round… Read more

Liver Love

It’s been a while since I’ve written here. As I reviewed this blog, I realize, I now have little to say. I’ve gone on a very long and slow health journey. I believe my health today is better than it was 20 years ago. Granted, I am older, but I feel good…except… The Back Issue… Read more

Health and Discernment

Fad Diets Don’t Work

Over the years, I’ve been rebuilding myself. As I make improvements, I can’t help but think of the old TV show, The Bionic Woman.  The major difference between my transformation and Jamie Sommers (Lindsay Wagner’s Bionic Woman character) is I’m rebuilding myself using nutrition while she used high-end metals and technology.

Holidays, Carbs and Joint Pain

Holiday Eating

During the holidays, my usual health resolve weakened. I let my guard down and abandoned some of my usual healthy habits.

Locs – No Comb, No Chemicals

Locs

I feel some type of way when I see/hear/read about chemicalized locs. I do understand that not everyone was blessed with very kinky hair. I also understand that we live in an impatient society. The combination of non-kinky hair and impatience is what I believe leads people to resort to various chemicals when transitioning to… Read more

Clear Vision

My birthday gift to myself was a large annoying eye floater, a few flashes and not so clear vision. What was going on? I turn 60 and WHAM! My body starts to give me the blues! At first, I thought the floater was an annoying bug that kept following me. After all, I was sitting… Read more

Frankincense Essential Oil

Frankincense, like so many of the other essential oils, is a wonder oil! I think I’ll have to share more of my essential oil success stories. This story, however, was quite by accident. I frequently use essential oils in my diffusers, in my beauty products and cleaning products. And, because I’ve been blessed with a… Read more

Serrapeptase to the Knee Rescue

It appears that serrapeptase is the solution to my current knee problem. Earlier I wrote about the problems I was having with my knee. In summary, it was popping and swelling and making it difficult for me to perform my usual daily tasks. Chiropractic visits seemed to temporarily improve things but it didn’t completely solve… Read more

Frankincense Essential Oil

With all of the benefits of using frankincense essential oil, who knew it was a natural cure for pink eye. Just recently I came down with a case of conjunctivitis, aka pink eye. I was unfortunate enough to have contracted it in both eyes. It didn’t take a visit to the doctor to know what… Read more
