Break Your Fast With Blueberries!

Blueberries … just one serving of fresh or frozen blueberries provides as many antioxidants as five servings of carrots, apples, broccoli or squash. And, according to Susan Smith Jones they are “packed with anthocyanins which appear to be one of the most potent antidotes to oxidate stress, a process that ages you.”

So … eat up! Start with breakfast and my Blueberry Oatmeal Energize!

Psst. Feel like a piece of burnt toast throughout the day? Or maybe your brains feel like scrambled eggs? You might be suffering from adrenal fatigue. Take our free Fatigue Questionnaire at http://fatiguebegone.com/tired_woman_quiz.htm to discover the true causes of fatigue.

Kudos to Michael Moore & Mike Huckabee

Kudos to Michael Moore & Mike Huckabee for bringing the topic of “self-health” to the American Public. This is a discussion we need to have and NOW is as good a time as any.

Now for individual Kudos — First to Michael Moore for suggesting:

1. We would have better medical care in Cuba then we do in the U.S. and that

2. We should pour time and money into creating a Cuba-like socialized medicine machine.

SICKO reminds me to keep eating better, getting more exercise, stretching at night, drinking 8 glasses of water a day, cutting back on sugar, elimination “white” and educating myself on health and nutrition. It drives me to nag (oops! encourage) my husband to do the same. I don’t want to be a part of his system.

Then kudos to to Mike Huckabee for having the guts to STATE that health is OUR responsibility and not something that will be fixed “if only” we had better medical care.

Don’t get me wrong. I Love – I value and am grateful to a number of doctors who helped me, saved my mother and brother’s lives, etc.

However I’ve spent years looking for solutions to unsolvable chronic conditions including asthma, migraine headaches, candida and, of course, chronic fatigue. If there was a pill I could have popped to solve any of these I would have done it BUT having to find, feel, work and research my way back to health made me a stronger, healthier person. Had I waited on congress – on the “system” I would be dead by now or, at least, a Sicko.

Michael Moore has millions and billions of $$$. He can afford the best health care. He can even fly to Cuba to get more. So, obviously great health isn’t for sale. It is about the little, daily habits and actions we take to better ourselves. All the kings horses won’t fix what we tear down if we aren’t willing to do the footwork …

Don’t count on a government program to heal you. Don’t wait for something or someone “out there” to change your chronic health condition. Be the change you need.

Mike Huckabee gets my vote. I am even going to send him a campaign contribution and a free copy of my Fatigue Be Gone! Guide. (Do you have yours?)

What say you?

Make that call – Taking action is the ultimate energy boost!

Who do you know could be helping you feel GREAT but, for whatever reason, you keep putting off making that call and scheduling that appointment?

I’ll share! For me it was the trainer at my gym.

For the past year I have duly noted the offer of a “Free Assessment” and 3 free training appointments. Instead of taking advantage of this fabulous offer I have been p-r-o-c-r-a-s-t-i-n-a-t-i-n-g.

One of my favorite excuses is that I am not in good enough shape. This is like not hiring a “Merry Maid” because the house isn’t clean enough. (I have a girlfriend doing THAT one!) Another is that the trainers are too young and won’t be able to relate to me. (Like I’m ancient?! Where did that come from!)

Enough of the excuses! 5 minutes ago I marched into my office and made that call. My first appointment is next Tuesday at 6:00 a.m. with Troy. Troy — that’s my father’s name — must be a good sign! And, you know what? I got such a rush of energy when I hung up that phone. Positive action is the ultimate energy boost!

So my friend – your turn. Take time now – today – to make your call for help. You will be so happy you did!
