Protect Your Health, Save the Planet, Fatten Your Wallet (guest post)

Please to welcome Heat.  Quite frankly I can no longer recall where we met—I just know I learn something from her daily.  She’s wise.  She’s insightful.  She’s green in a way I currently only aspire to be…

Often, when people think about “green” or “healthy” products, they also think “expensive.”

In some cases, it’s true that “leveling up” is more expensive. Organic produce, most of the time, costs more than conventional.

But in many cases, greener is cheaper—and fattens your wallet.

Take household cleaning products, for example.

Many of us own separate cleaning products for different areas of the house: kitchen, bathroom, floors, mirrors, etc. Each of these products costs $3-7, is poisonous to people and animals, and pollutes the water and the earth when it leaves our homes.

Baking soda and vinegar are cheaper, more eco-friendly, non-toxic to you, your kids, your pets, and will take care of most of your basic around-the-house cleaning.

Wouldn’t it be great if your biggest worry, upon seeing that the toddler broke into the cabinet of cleaners, was that there would be a mess?

Same is true of bottled water.

When I was teaching part time, I’d drink over a quart of water every day at work. I took water in a 40-ounce stainless steel bottle that I bought for $25 six years ago.

Doing a search, I found 16.9-ounce bottles of water for 21 cents each. (Never mind that you’d need to buy 72 cases of 24 bottles to get that price…) Rounding just to make things simpler, let’s say I’d drink two of those each day at work.

In two months, the cost of the bottled water equals what I paid for the reusable bottle. Tap water prices vary by region, as do the variety of water filters available, but none cost as much as water that comes in a bottle.

Bottled water is a source of BPA, a toxic chemical that disrupts the way hormones work in your body.

It mimics estrogen, is linked to early puberty in girls and feminine traits in boys, and has the most damaging effects to fetuses, infants, and toddlers. It has genetic repercussions in humans for three generations.

The other problem with bottled water is the bottle.

How much energy and natural resources went into obtaining and refining the petroleum, and creating and shipping the bottle? All for a single-use, live-in-a-landfill-forever bottle? Sure, you could recycle it, but most people don’t recycle most bottles.

In general, single-use disposable products cost more in the long run than their reusable counterparts.

The kitchen wins for most likely to have unnecessary nickel-and-diming for the sake of convenience.

Plates, cups, flatware, napkins, towels, casserole dishes, bread pans, and so on all come in disposable versions. While using something once and then throwing it away might be simpler, it is more of a drain on your budget (and on a more recurring basis).

Most single-use disposables also contain chemicals from the production process, whether to affect their flexibility, color, or texture. These are not chemicals we want in our bodies, whether through contact with our skin or ingestion.

As for environmental impact, most people think about the problem of trash (which is indeed an enormous problem), but there is also all extraction, and multiple steps of production that are not earth-friendly. Bioplastics, while not being made from petroleum (or being only partially petroleum-based) are not any better. (That’s a whole other can of worms…)

It takes a little bit of adjusting to go to reusable items, and in some cases there is an up-front cost.

It’s worth it.

Your body will be glad to have fewer toxins to deal with. Your wallet will be glad to have fewer expenses. The earth will be glad to have more resources and less waste. Win-win-win!

Have you stopped to consider how green–or not!–your home currently is?

Cancer survivor. Mom. Teacher. Entrepreneur. Musician. Triathlete. Inspirational. Occasionally hilarious. These are all words that describe Heat Dziczek.

Introducing The “Natural Health Weekend” Series

Hey guys. Welcome to Natural Health Weekend! The Greedy Family and I have been using natural remedies for several years now. My research on alternative, natural treatments to resolve and/or prevent the woes that ail us has amped up. My zeal for natural health is causing me to gain a greater level of knowledge on the subject, but it would be insane for me to keep all this info to myself.

Yet  I encourage you to NOT follow my advice and recommendations blindly. Please take time to carefully consider the topics I present each weekend, do additional research on your own when you feel it’s necessary, then a make comfortable, informed decision on whether the treatments and methods I discuss are right for you and your family.

This One Thing Is Certain

Big Pharma is NOT in business to permanently heal us. This would present the issue of a one-time pharma customer who doesn’t have to come crawling back to re-purchase their products. Big Pharma is in business to make money. The majority of products they invent are designed to manage illness, not cure it. It seems every time I blink my eyes, a new pill or treatment has sprung up to “help” us.

I’m not 100% opposed to pharmaceuticals (I’ll take a pharma solution only when absolutely necessary, like an emergency tenatus shot, m’kay?), but my family’s go-to, primary source for treatment is always natural first. If you take the time to explore, you will find that there are age-old, proven, natural treatments for many of the same ailments pharma and other medical treatments are promoted.

There is no real money to be had in natural treatment by the conventional medicine gods. Why? Because they are just that — natural! On some levels, the FDA is in bed with the medical industry (crazy lady conspiracy theory alert!) with the goal to keep their cash cow thriving. Information on natural treatments is many times buried, un-promoted by the media or passed off as quackery. There is also the looming threat of ever-changing FDA rules that seek to limit our access to natural treatments.

What You Can Look Forward To In This Series

The spotlight on natural treatments.Product reviews.Zero-cost tips to help you naturally manage or resolve your issues.News on Big Pharma folly.The official Natural Health Reference Page here on Yum Yucky…and don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel for upcoming Natural Health vlogs!

Get ready to be educated, informed, and empowered to take greater control of your health. I can’t wait to get this thing busting wide open at the seams! I was initially going to start the first topic today, but I felt I owed you guys a better detailed, deeper explanation behind the importance of this series. So there ya have it!

The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, And Long-term Health

The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted And the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss, And Long-term Health
Referred to as the "Grand Prix of epidemiology" by The New York Times, this study examines more than 350 variables of health and nutrition with surveys from 6,500 adults in more than 2,500 counties across China and Taiwan, and conclusively demonstrates the link between nutrition and heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. While revealing that proper nutrition can have a dramatic effect on reducing and reversing these ailments as well as curbing obesity, this text calls into question the practices of many of the current dietary programs, such as the Atkins diet, that are widely popular in the West. The politics of nutrition and the impact of special interest groups in the creation and dissemination of public information are also discussed.

Diabetic <b>Weight Loss</b> Program – On the Way to Better Health | Fast <b>...</b>

Diabetic Weight Loss Program – On the Way to Better Health

1299465013 57 Diabetic Weight Loss Program – On the Way to Better Health

The diabetic weight loss program aims to stabilize and maintain your ideal weight and your blood sugar and cholesterol levels. it takes a doctor or a dietitian and a willing patient to be able to construct a diabetic weight loss program. that is why it is highly recommended to consult a doctor before entering such programs–you need to be aware of the risks and the proper way to go about it. here are some tips to help you get started.

It’s not just about weight loss

A diabetic weight loss program is similar in structure to a typical weight loss program, placing emphasis on proper diet and exercise. however, the diabetic should take extra care because the weight loss program is also designed to help control blood sugar and cholesterol levels. these are important in avoiding complications such as hypertension, heart disease, and kidney failure.

Controlling your glucose and cholesterol levels can be difficult if you do not maintain a healthy diet. in a diabetic weight loss program, proper nutrition is the key to success. make sure that you get the right amount of important nutrients for your body every day. If your food restrictions prevent you from getting all the necessary nutrients, ask your doctor if you can take supplements.

Part of an effective diabetic weight loss program is an increase in physical activity. Avoid a sedentary lifestyle and get regular physical activity. You have probably heard about all the benefits of exercise, but if you have diabetes, it’s all the more important.

There are a lot of simple ways to exercise, even when going to the gym or buying exercise equipment is not an option. You can staret by walking, strolling, taking the stairs, or walking your dog. however, before performing any exercise, consult your doctor to see what type of exercise will work best for you.

Eat right, not eat less

A diabetic weight loss program does not necessarily limit your food intake–it just focuses on healthier food choices. make sure you include foods from all the food groups in the right proportions. a typical weight loss meal plan combines vegetables, fruits, whole grains, lean meat, fish, poultry, and low-fat dairy products into daily meals.

Low-fat, low-sugar, less salt

Your diabetic weight loss program should also provide you with low-fat and low-sugar options. Scientific studies show that starchy foods can increase your blood sugar faster than sweets and sodas can, so make sure you cut down on the white rice, white bread, and white potatoes. choose low-sugar or sugar-free options if they are available. You also need to maintain normal cholesterol levels by lessening the salt in your food and cutting down on fatty foods.

A daily dose of fiber

Fiber is essential for regular bowel movement, so your weight loss program should include more fiber-rich foods. You need around 20 to 35 grams of fiber every day, and more if you have diabetes. Good sources include beans, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables. however, make sure that you drink lots of water to avoid constipation.

When shopping for food to incorporate in your weight loss program, make sure that you read their nutritional labels. Remember to check the amount per serving of cholesterol, saturated fiber, sugar content, carbohydrate content, and the dietary fiber. Nutrient reference values are expressed in daily value percentages to help

HCG And <b>Weight Loss</b> Programs | Health News, Wellness, and Medical <b>...</b>

HCG And Weight Loss Programs

Fad diets, diet pills, weight loss programs and weight loss surgeries…it all comes down to the same thing to too many people. For too many people all of these terms refer to a huge cost (both in money and time) with little results. More and more people are accessing fad diets and diet pills and weight loss programs and weight loss surgeries because more and more people are finding themselves overweight and/or obese. But the success rates for the majority of “diets” and weight loss programs are not good. Most people waste their time and money and all they get back is frustration.

Dieting in general typically offers several negative factors that are sometimes impossible to deal with:

1. decreased energy that comes with decreased food intake

2. the “pains” that come with being hungry

3. negative mood swings

When these negatives are offered in combination with a lack of weight loss dieters often find themselves losing sight of their goals and considering the results definitely not worth the effort. Many looking to achieve weight loss through weight loss programs, etc. are already suffering from low self esteem and/or negative self image. Consistent unsuccessful weight loss programs and weight loss attempts only increases this problem with low confidence and self image levels.

Lucky dieters that find themselves in the midst of weight loss programs or diets that are actually offering real weight loss results quickly discover that it is a wonderful solution for low confidence levels and negative self image issues. And in this instance if a little benefits a little then a lot benefits a lot. Drastic weight loss typically offers drastic increases to both self image and confidence.

Using drastic weight loss measures to reach a healthy weight can have drastic positive mental, emotional and physical benefits. But drastic weight loss methods also often have negative effects. Popular surgical procedures that provide drastic weight loss in a short amount of time have extensive recovery times as well as the potential for complications during and after the procedure.

The weighing of the positive and negatives of weight loss programs and procedures that offer drastic weight loss often lead potential dieters to homeopathic HCG weight loss programs. They offer drastic weight loss results (similar to average weight loss offered by surgical procedures, 1 to 2 pounds per day). And possibly even more advantageous for potential dieters is the fact that homeopathic HCG weight loss programs offer no known side effects and an affordable cost. The overall summary of the options tends to make it clear that homeopathic HCG weight loss programs are the obvious choice for almost all individuals looking to lose weight.

The HCG Diet Direct is a low calorie diet that helps dieters lose weight and keep the weight off. To find out more about HCG and the HCG diet, visit HCG Diet Direct.

<b>Weight Loss</b> with Alternative Medicine | Health News, Wellness, and <b>...</b>

Weight Loss with Alternative Medicine

Weight loss is one of the big topics-no pun intended-on the late night television circuit. While flipping through the channels after 11p.m., you are apt to come across several advertisements for weight loss pills and diet supplements, each promising to help you drop those unwanted pounds and remove stubborn belly fat once and for all.

Let’s face it, if these pills really worked, America wouldn’t be the top overweight country in the world.

There are types of alternative medicine which can help with weight loss, however, and with great results. While no alternative medicine is a magic solution, practicing these principles can help you become more limber, feel more energetic, and the end result-or side effect if you will- is weight loss.

Take yoga for example. The low impact stretching involved with yoga will help you feel less stressed, and as a result less likely to over eat as a result of depression or anger. Acupuncture has exact pressure points in the ear which help reduce cravings, and detoxifying teas and herbs can help you feel healthier, and the side effect would be thinking twice before deciding that you want to “pollute” yourself again with oily and fatty foods. In this respect, alternative medicine is wonderful for weight loss.

Most alternative medicines for weight loss come in the form of detoxifying teas, energy supplements, and vitamins. The exercise and diet plans are the basis-as they should be- for safe and effective long term weight loss. There is no magic potion to lose weight. Truly dropping pounds and keeping them off requires regular daily exercise and a change in eating habits, period.

However, to get you ready for weight loss, here are some alternative medicine detoxifying teas and interesting supplements;

Take turmeric, ginger, and lemon-about a half teaspoon each and the juice of half a lemon, and boil it all in 2 cups of water. Drink every morning as a detoxifier before you start your diet.

All diets should consist of fresh fruits and vegetables, and buying a juicer is a great way to make a habit out of eating healthy. Please see your doctor before starting any kind of diet plan.

Omega three is a fine source of nutrient, and can be added to any smoothie or juice that you’re drinking.

Visit your local food co op or herbalist, they can get you set up with all sorts of alternative teas and nutrition advice, and can refer you to a good homeopathic doctor who will evaluate you as to what your individual nutrition needs are.
Bovine and shark cartilage are two dietary supplements to hit the alternative market. Both have been used for years outside of the United States and Britain, but now are big business in the health food stores.

The most popular form of alternative medicine for weight loss isn’t really medicine at all, rather behavior modification through hypnosis. Hypnosis doesn’t make you rely on will power, that’s one of the reasons it’s so popular.

How hypnosis works is that it investigates what is subconsciously holding you to the thinking and eating habits that keep you overweight. Hypnotists believe that if the root cause of the obesity can be alleviated, the patient will naturally begin to lose weight. It is actually a very effective form of alternative medicine, and overall can cost much less than trips to day spas and expensive over the counter weight loss pills. Through hypnosis you can let go of fears that keep you from eating healthy, and begin to allow a positive energy flow through you, causing you to want to stick to the new way of eating and exercising.
