Health & Wellness Tidbits
I'm starting this page to put out information that you may not know
about, or maybe if you do, so that you just can learn a little more about health and wellness.
- Apple Cider Vinegar
While I was home visiting my family, my dad purchased some Bragg's Apple Cider
Vinegar. We got to talking about how many different health benefits you get
from taking a few tablespoons a day. Thus, I have a new daily regimen. Here's
is a link where you are able to learn more.

- Genetically Modified Organisms
Genetically modified organisms tend to be an area of controversy for many
groups of people in the world. I feel as though not enough people are aware of
what GMOs are or what they are doing to our enviroment, let alone our health as
humans. http://www.environmentalcommons.org/gmo-factsheet.html
- Aspartame
Aspartame is something people use as a sweetener which is artificial and is dangerous to our health. It is best to use sweeteners that are all natural such as: honey, stevia, truvia, and cane sugar or sugar in the raw. Of course, if you are a diabetic it is best to ask your doctor which all natural source would be best for you. Here's a link to give you some information about aspartame. http://aspartame.mercola.com/
- Wheatgrass
Some call wheatgrass the "elixir of life". Just taking 1 to 3 ounces a day can give us more energy, both in our mind, and in our body. Here's a link to give you a better understanding of why taking this grass like supplement will give us added happiness in our daily life. http://www.wheatgrass.net/
- Shiatsu
Shiatsu is a japanese form of bodywork used for unblocking the areas in our bodies where blockages of energy occur by using "finger pressure". Check out this link to find out more about this form of bodywork http://altmedicine.about.com/od/massage/a/shiatsu.htm
- Qigong
Last year I was fortunate to be able to attend a seminar about qigong. The seminar was called qi revolution and it incorporated several different things such as, different breathing techniques, and learning about food based healing. It was a life changing experience that I was blessed to attend. If ever it should come into your area, check it out as the price is low and the experiences you bring out of it are priceless. www.qirevolution.com
- Goji Berries
Goji berries also called Wolfberries are a very powerful antioxidant that can be supplemented into our daily life. I first learned about these wonderful berries quite a few years back while working at Whole Foods in the supplement department, and it wasn't until I attended Qi Revolution that I started supplementing them into my daily routine. They can be ingested in several different ways. I like to put the actual berries into my water bottle and drink the water, eventually eating the berries themselves. Here is a helpful site to learn more information about the goji berry http://www.gojiberryfacts.com/paybacks-goji-berry.html

Noni is something that I also learned about while working at Whole Foods, and while working there I heard from many different people who took this supplement everyday and felt the effectiveness from this juice.
