Heart failure is often a chronic condition exactly where the heart muscle grows weaker until it is no longer in a position to pump enough blood to meet the body’s wants. With organs not finding the blood, they have to have, fluid builds in areas it should not, the lungs, the gastrointestinal tract, the liver, and in some cases the arms and legs.

The symptoms typically appear gradually, at first only when you’re pretty active, although as time passes you might feel breathing problems and a few other symptoms even when you happen to be resting.

How Strong Is Your Immune System?

How many of these drugs are you taking on a regular basis?

  • Cold medicine
  • Antibiotics
  • Aspirin
  • Allergy medications

Far too many people are living with a vulnerable immune system that cannot successfully defend itself from diseases and sicknesses. Did you know that your immune system has the inborn capability to protect itself from ill health? When your body is healthy and fit, your immune system has the ability to defend itself against millions of toxins, bacteria, parasites, and viruses. So why are so many people these days, including yourself, turning to man-made, chemical-filled drugs to perform the natural functions of a healthy body?

What Is Inside That Medication?

Go and take some time to actually read through the ingredients on the medicines that are filling your medicine cabinet. Without a doubt, you will find a long list of words that are unpronounceable and most likely completely foreign to your knowledge. Although they may sound scientific, if you’re not sure what any of the words mean, then you are still at a loss with understanding just what is inside of those pills you are taking.

The bottom line is that most medications can and will cause unfavorable side effects, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, drowsiness, nausea, liver damage, and dizziness, to name a few.

The Healing Power of Healthy Connections

The Healing Power of Healthy Connections

A lot of studies show how people in healthy, close connections live longer, are happier, have less medical problems and have a more positive outlook on life and their future throughout the life cycle. As Mother Theresa said, “Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.”

Connections help make life less scary and overwhelming for all of us, starting from infancy and continuing throughout life. They also allow us to share its beauty with people we love. Above all, connections help us regulate each other’s emotions, making them more manageable. We all had the experience of being scared about something. We cannot calm ourselves down, no matter what we say to ourselves. We call a trusted friend, or our emotional partner, or a family member with whom we feel safe. We tell them what is scaring us. They seem to find the right words to calm us down, soothe and reassure us. Chances are they are not saying anything dramatically different than what we could have said ourselves. And yet, when it comes from them rather than from us what they say has a healing quality that our self-talk lacked. Influenced by their words, we calm down: we breed slower, we feel our body relaxing, we feel our heart to quieting down and returning to beat at a normal rhythm again.

What is this power from loved ones that affects our bodies and minds? It is the feeling of security that comes from the relationship that …

Is It Really More Expensive to Eat Healthy?

Is It Really More Expensive to Eat Healthy?

Maybe you’ve said it before, I know I have. “It’s too expensive to eat healthy!” In a day where dollar menus are the craze, it doesn’t seem like you can eat any meal for a decent price! I decided to put this to the test. I will use fast food as an example as it is cheaper then eating out at a restaurant.

The average price for boneless skinless chicken breast (where I live) is 2.49 lb so for 6 oz it would be approximately $0.95. If you add steamed broccoli, you can have a serving of this for about $0.50. Add a baked sweet potato for $0.80. Let’s see what we’re up to.

$0.95 + $0.50 + $0.80 = $2.25 a serving

Let’s say you go to McDonald’s instead. One of the cheaper meals is the Big Mac meal. You can get this for $3.99.

So we’ve found that it’s actually cheaper to eat a healthy meal then a fast food meal. Not included in this calculation is the time and gas mileage you spend going to get the food.

Price is one thing you need to consider, but there’s something else. Listen to what this doctor has to say:

The glycemic index is kind of a measure of how quickly the sugar gets into your blood. If you have a high glycemic index, we’re talking about sugary foods, or white bread, things that the sugar gets into your body really quickly and you get this spike of glucose, …
