Are you Praying for Better Health

How many times have you prayed for better health? Additional energy levels? Better results on a physical?  How many times have you prayed for a cure? Why don’t I just feel better?

Prayer

The answer to this question isn’t an easy one.  Yes, I believe, He does provide miracles. I also believe we need to give some assistance in this case.

If we were looking for a new job, we wouldn’t just pray for a new job and then sit down on the couch and wait for one to fall in our lap.  We would create a resume, fill out job applications, search the want ads, talk to people and let them know what we are looking for.

Couch is Satan

Why don’t we look at health the same way?

If you would really like “better health” then why don’t you look for it?

1 Corinthians 3:16-17New International Version (NIV)

16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

For many years I fed my body, and my temple, noodles ramen and Busch Light beer – all my friends did.  When I reached the age of about 27 I was miserable, on six pharmaceuticals for depression, asthma, migraines, and more…  My body was not functioning properly and I frequently prayed that I felt better.

It wasn’t until I began paying better attention to assisting in supporting my health that it all turned around. Just like taking action to find a new job.

I began drinking more water and eliminated soda pop. I started feeling a bit better.

Rethink your drink - sugar

I began walking 5-6 miles 3-5 days a week. I started feeling better.

I stopped eating fast food on a regular basis. I started feeling better.

I paid close attention to eating whole foods, and adding more servings of fruits and veggies. I started feeling better.

Foundation and produce

I added a sound foundational supplement regimen and MY CRAVINGS WENT AWAY!

Not all disease or illness can be prevented, but I DO know I feel better, have more energy, and the migraines, asthma, and depression are all but gone!  These are the things that worked for myself and many of my friends and colleagues.  I am happy to assist you in reaching your new healthy self!

Don’t just sit on your couch and “wait,” get up and do something to get there. Smile 

You are what you eat.

After School Snacks, Blood Thinners, Depression, & Splenda

Haven’t been blogging as much!  I’ve been busy working with clients and friends.  I wanted to share a compilation of information people have been requesting by using visuals.  Each photo will link to a page that explains.

Little Snack

Part of our daily ritual is a Fresh Fruit smoothee when we get home from school. Today, she thought those strawberries looked “JUST TOO GOOD” to wait, so she had to eat one whole!

Choices – Blood Thinners

We have clients asking if we have anything that can help them, without Vitamin K, due to doctor’s orders. We DO!  We now have the option of Vitamin K Vitalizer and Lean & Healthy kits.

 

Choices – we do have them

I was lucky enough to find an awesome therapist who worked with me to wean me off the meds and work with cognitive therapy and sound nutrition to counteract my depression.  I still have down days, I just handle them much better now – and WITHOUT side effects.

 

Splenda – Side Effects Healthy Grease Monkey

I personally, try to stay away from anything artificial, especially if it has side effects!  A friend asked me what the dangers of Splenda were, so I compiled some data for her.

Finally, I have found that those clients who become part of a supportive community and stay a part of that community are having greater successes and an easier time staying engaged in their programs to improve their health!  We have openings in local Waist Line Relief group that meets weekly as well as in the monthly support group meetings.
