It has been my experience that everything that happens to us happens for a reason. Often, one thing leads to another. So if you are moving in a positive direction, one positive thing leads to another, and if you are moving in a negative direction, well I think you get my drift.
A few years ago I was working for a large corporation, making just enough money to scrape by. Now the job wasn’t bad, it was clean, indoors and had great benefits. It’s just that they really wanted their pound of flesh in exchange for the paycheck I was earning. My job was so stressful it was actually causing my weight to shift up and my hair (what little I had) to fall out and turn grey. As a result I ended up leaving that job.

Healthy high blood pressure remedies

One of the biggest health problems in the world today is hypertension or high blood pressure (HBP). According to recent statistics over 70 million Americans are affected by it which equates to about 1 in every 4 adults. According to the American Heart Association HBP “was listed on death certificates as the primary cause of death of 57,356 Americans in 2005. HBP was listed as a primary or contributing cause of death in about 319,000 of the more than 2.4 million U.S. deaths in 2005.”
Those statistics are pretty scary. What else is scary is that you increase your risks of contracting so many other conditions and diseases with a hypertension and all of them are very serious. It doesn’t matter if you only have moderately high blood pressure, looking into some blood pressure remedies is an excellent idea. Continue reading Healthy high blood pressure remedies…
Michael Jackson – a Victim of stress, drugs and rock and roll

I believe that Michael Jackson was one of the most talented entertainers of our era. In the 70’s I rode around blasting “I’ll be there”, “ABC” and “Got to be there” out of my AM radio from my Burgundy 1964 Chrysler New Yorker that my dad and I painted. It was a love machine and I loved Michael’s stuff. Now I must admit it was probably largely due to the fact that the girls loved his stuff too, but Michael, to me, was living the life. He had it made. Little did I know, right?
As he and I grew older, although Michael continued to create and perform some fantastic hits, his personal life seemed to be in a tailspin. So did his health. He contracted lupus in the 1980’s. Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the immune system turns against parts of the body, destroying the very cells and tissues it is meant to protect. Click here for the rest of this articel…
Teach your children the dangers of smoking and keep them smoke free!

I used to smoke, in fact, back in the 60s, before we were all aware of the terrible consequences of smoking, it was considered cool among teens to smoke. I smoked Marlboros because I wanted to be as cool as that famous guy in the cowboy hat I saw on billboards and in magazine ads. Back then he was even on the TV. He smoked by the campfire and was even portrayed riding his horse with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
I also tried smoking Camels, in fact I started smoking Camel Reds with no filters. Even though they tasted terrible, my friend Frank and I thought we were cool. What’s interesting is that the pack is emblazoned with a camel with a desert backdrop. I never did quite get the meaning of that. Did it mean that the cigarettes taste as bad as a camel smells? Or was the illustration supposed to mean smoking one would give you an exotic experience similar to smoking opium? I guess I’ll never know.

Seven sensible tips for healthier eating

I don’t know about you but I love to eat. Eating is a wonderful thing. Eating is also necessary for keeping you alive and healthy. The problem is that, with the hectic pace of life today, we have replaced healthy eating habits with eating habits that are not so healthy for us. It can be so much easier to get a quick snack from the vending machine or drive to the fast food joint than to eat a healthy daily diet.
What does a healthy diet consists of? I realize you already know the answer to this. You need to start off each day with a healthy breakfast. You also need to eat whole grains, fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish while cutting down on saturated fats and salt. Oh yeah, and drink 8 glasses of water a day.
But like I said, you already know that, don’t you? Continue reading Seven sensible tips for healthier eating…

“You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love & affection.” – Buddha
How much would you say you are your worth, anyway? How much value would you place on yourself and your contribution to your world? Before you answer this question think about this, why is a painting by Picasso so valuable? It’s because it’s a one of a kind, it’s unique. You know what, so are you!
We all have value, whether we believe it or not. This value comes from our very existence, as well as our own set of skills, talents, ideas and strengths. If you were to have your DNA analyzed, in this whole wide world there is not another individual that is identical to you. Your DNA is different from anybody else, alive or dead. This means you have talents, abilities and dreams that are unlike any other person on the planet. Continue reading Six simple things you can begin doing right now to increase your self-worth today…
What are the Dangers of Sleep Deprivation

If you are not getting enough sleep your life is being impacted and probably being impacted tremendously. I know sleep deprivation affected mine. Whether it’s from insomnia, sleep apnea, Restless Leg Syndrome (RLS), or another sleep disorder, the danger of sleep deprivation is undeniable. It can reveal itself in both minor and major ways, creating problems at work, school, and all your day-to-day activities.
Although everyone’s different, your body requires a certain amount of sleep in order to function properly. If it doesn’t get the right amount for you, it will naturally try to find ways to reconcile the problem. For many, a solution isn’t always easy to find.
If you are like most people you won‘t even recognize you have a problem to begin with. In fact, most people fail to note the subtle symptoms and don’t take the time to investigate the possible causes. The problem is that if your body doesn’t get a sufficient amount of sleep you can start to experience fatigue and overall drowsiness. Continue reading What are the Dangers of Sleep Deprivation…
What are we doing with the new tobacco taxes?

We all know that cigarette smoking is bad for our health. In fact, by now, nearly everyone on the planet is aware of the dangers of cigarette smoking but, even knowing the dangers, there are over 3000 kids that start smoking every day!
Now like I said, nearly all of us are aware of the hazards of smoking. When I started smoking, packs of cigarettes had just began to have the warning “Caution: Cigarette Smoking May be Hazardous to Your Health” printed on their side. This was the first government effort to inform people that smoking was bad for you. Since then, fighting the battle against cigarettes has been a case of the tobacco industry versus common sense.
Unfortunately common sense does not prevail and our government continues to rather ineffectually attempt to legislate our behavior. At the same time the tobacco industry continues to spend hundreds of millions of dollars fighting the legislation and promoting their products of death.
