    How to fight off Alzheimer’s and Dementia

    Stay mentally active to fight off Alzheimer’s and Dementia…learn something new! I begin taking electric bass guitar lessons tomorrow! No, this is not a mistake.  I’ve decided to learn to play a new instrument.  This time it’s electric bass guitar. I’m sure when I walk in for my lesson tomorrow the teacher is going to wonder where the kid is who’s taking the lesson.  I’ll have to break it to him that the kid is me! Did you know that when you learn something new, you help keep your brain young?  You create new connections and regenerate all that complicated brain stuff that dries up as you get older and…

    Portion Size

    Size does matter.  How can you make impressive changes in your weight simply by reducing your portion size? I went out for ice cream yesterday. Yes, I went off the rails for a day and had a hot fudge sundae with raspberry chocolate chip ice cream and whipped cream! It was delicious… It was my first (and last) ice cream sundae of the season, and I had a junior size which was plenty big enough. When you’re eating a clean, healthy diet, ice cream sundaes are not on the list, but my point in sharing this is two-fold. First, you can have something you used to love once in a…

    Water bottles…is your drinking water safe?

    Safe Water Bottles…do you know what you’re drinking? These water bottles are so cool! Two years ago, I was at an online marketing conference in Las Vegas. One of the people attending had a water bottle that just looked different. I saw the man pouring the water the rest of us were drinking from the pitcher into the bottle, so I asked him about it. He said it had a built in filter that took toxins out of the water. At that time, I was well into my new eating adventure, and was becoming aware of the dangers presented by our water supply. Additives like chlorine and fluoride were not…

    Supplements

    Supplements…which are the best to buy without spending a fortune? Do you know how difficult it is to find really good vitamins and supplements that don’t cost a fortune? I do !  It’s a long hard task, with lots of research involved, and frankly, it’s very confusing! I’ve done the hard work so you won’t have to! Vitamins often have ingredients like soybean or corn oil (which are most likely GMO these days); magnesium stearate; magnesium silicate, mannitol, sorbital, gelatin, etc. While using products that contain animal gelatin is a choice, the rest of the ingredients listed, and sooo many more, are just plain bad for you! Check the labels on the…
