The Healthy and Wealthy You

Television is not really my ‘thing’.  I monitor the weather and news and there are a couple of programs I enjoy from time to time but life has so much more to offer than staring at a box with moving pictures…

That said, I wanted to share with you that I watched an interesting documentary on obesity in this country.  The point of the piece was that even though we have choices in this bountful country, we often make very poor choices and that is reflected in our health.  Or, more correctly, our lack of health.

There was a young boy from Jamaica who gained 30 pounds when his family moved stateside because he had ACCESS to so many choices.  Fortunately for this 12 year old, after he had been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, high cholesterol, and heart disease, he was able to become educated, make better choices, shed 15 pounds and eliminate the diabetes. 

The report went on to describe the lack of fresh fruits and vegetables in the inner city.  Some brave souls had dared to plant some gardens but those gardens have not been providing enough fresh produce for the population.  Furthermore, so much soy and corn is produced because of the commercial value for food processors to make sugary foods and unhealthy processed products that there is no land for growing vegetables.  Even though the US government makes grants available for fruit growers, the time it takes to gain a first crop is a problem.

Personally, I believe some of the answer to this dilemma lies with us as individuals.  If everyone began growing pots full of herbs and indoor window gardens, even with just tomatoes, we could help ourselves, save some money, be pro-active, and self sufficient.  That would be a start.  When Spring arrives we could plant things to eat in place of just flowers.  If EVERYone did that, even on a small scale, we could eliminate some of our health issues, hunger issues, andwe could have the satisfaction of growing some of our own food.  This action could make a statement to the food processors and an impact on their bottom lines.

As much as you are able, I would encourage you to spend your food money on whole food, real food.  Shop the outside edges of your supermarket.  Leave those center aisles alone.  If it comes in a package, the chances are very good that it has bad stuff in it.  Those of you who prize your good health will not come to the aid of the food processors and big biz.

Sometimes, in August, it’s important to load up and head out!

We consider the jaunt we are planning as a honeymoon, even though we are nearly 14 years into this marriage.

We will celebrate with a couple whose marriage Norm  witnessed 50 years ago!  All his college buddies and their brides will be there, along with everyone’s good wishes. There is sure to be much reminiscing,  laughing, story telling, joshing, and eating.

We don’t just jump into the car and drive away.  Oh, no.  It takes some DOING:  we pack some clothes.  Well, to be accurate, I pack the clothes and Norm loads the car.  Then I come along with the water, the food supplements and the pillows.

We are such pampered travelers.  We feel we must have our own special pillows.  We don’t care for fluoridated water, so we take iWater in our iWater bottles.  We would never think of skipping our supplements so they are tucked in, as is the bottle of Limu, which we feel is as important as oxygen.

 I suspect another generation might find this preparationto be the way “old people” do things…but that’s fine by me.  I remember with a grin on my face how my own grandmother would come to visit.  She and my maiden aunt toted around a good sized cardboard box, loaded to the brim with pills, potions, pillows, padding and all manner of “stuff they could not live without.”

Perhaps that’s how our grandkids view us.

I’m not referred to as ’The Funny Grandma’ for no good reason!

Here’s the thing:  I think NOBODY should live their lives without the benefits of whole foods, energized water, stuff that helps their cells communicate vibrant good health!  That is the reason why I direct everyone to

www.motherconnie.com  and the links to www.biopro.com/agman and www.discoverlimu.com

But you already know that if you have followed this blog for any length of time…

I would be very interested to know what YOU need when YOU travel.  Have you heard the piece by George Carlin about ‘Stuff’?  He amused the whole world when he made fun of us for putting our stuff into boxes and bags and traveling.  It’s human nature to drag our belongings around…I think it’s human nature for us to yearn for great health, energy and vigor!

Please tell me YOUR story.  All stories will be published as soon as they are moderated.  We thank you so much for participating.

Summer is my personal fave.

Ideally, there is an unlimited supply of lemonade. We fancy that we lie in hammocks, smelling freshly cut grass, hearing the joyous shouts of children running through sprinklers, and we think of how we walk along the city sidewalks, chatting with neighbors as we stroll along.

In reality?

We crank the A/C to its max. We complain bitterly about the heat and humidity. We fuss that our clothelines harbor garments that take too long to dry. We complain when it rains. We complain when it does not rain.

Surely there is a happy medium.

The summertime in our house has been loaded with the best of times and the worst of times.

Currently we have a houseguest who revels in the joy of spending time in a Certified Wellness Home.

We are reveling in the joy of having him with us!

The bed, the air, the water, the food, and even his garments

support the quality of health we all enjoy.

Not to mention his gregarious, hospitable host couple…

It’s true. Norm and I are a pair of health nuts.

People snicker when they see that we carry our own iWater bottles around with us. They roll their eyes when the subject of supplements come up.

When I offer to ‘do someone’s colors’ there is a great show of skepticism.

But we must be doing something right.

My favorite husband began to feel poorly awhile back. His brother had popped up with a diagnosis that was no fun, so Norm finally agreed to visit his local

doctor.

There were no if’s, and’s or but’s about it.

Norm needed a pacemaker AT ONCE.

That would be the worst of times in our current summer!

When Norm’s pulse dipped to 10 beats per minute the pacemaker was placed.

This was on a Thursday. On SATURDAY morning, he was released from the bondage of his hospital bed and he drove home!

To make a long story short, he is quite fine now.

The postscript to that event is the phone call we got this week. They learned from his blood work that he has had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, which is contracted from ticks.

Norm just chuckled.

When you have Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, you are one sick puppy.  You hurt, your head aches, you feel hot, then chilled, it’s miserable.

Norm had none of that. AND, the morning of his appointment with his doctor he ‘only’ walked 17 blocks, plus the 3 blocks to the doctor’s office.  When he reported this at the time of his doctor visit, Doc just shook his head and swore.

He was astonished at the recovery and progress of his patient.

Having Norm feeling so well is the best of times for us!

What made that possible? Well, to be sure, there had been prayers on Norm’s behalf. And we would not discount the skill of the surgeons and pros who managed Norm’s case.

But what about the Limu? What about the BioProduce? What about the magnetic insoles and mattress pad? What about the iWater? What about the alkaline air he breathes?

How does his vegetable rich, whole foods diet figure into this equation?

Could it BE that his regimen has supported his immune system to the point where a pesky tick had little influence on his body?

Could it be that being well hydrated, fit as a fiddle, and well nourished has really paid off in spades?

What do YOU think?

We would love for you to comment on Norm’s situation.   All comments must be moderated before they are published. We appreciate your taking the time to do this.
