It happens to everyone.--- You wake up in the morning, and your neck or back is just killing you. I know the feeling, and I have been told that is probably due to stress, lack of sleep, or just a lack of nutrition.

Stress is a constant in whatever lifestyle choice we lead. Some are high stress, some are low. My point is that stress is usually a variable that we just except and deal with. However, sometimes stress does effect our rest. For example, how many of us have had some expected event at work or in our life keep us up the night prior. No matter how hard we try, you just can't stop thinking about it.

Some of us might break down and take addictive over the counter sleep aids, or even just take a immune system diminishing dose of night time cold and flu medicine to take some of the edge off.

Well, I have a natural solution for you. Gentle Sleep Complex is a supplement with a natural blend of herbs that will do the job safely. It contains a complementary blend of herbs - Valerian, chamomile, and passion flower - that promotes calm and restful sleep. For centuries these herbs have been used safely for occasional sleeplessness.

Try some... You deserve safe, restful sleep.

I attended a training two weeks ago. It was supposed to be a leadership training that is to sharpen my leadership skills. But, in the class the instructor spoke about stresses of any and all jobs and the choices you have.

For example, lets say that you have a boss or a supervisor that is very forceful, direct, tends not to listen, and you just really don't like working for. Every morning you dread getting out of bed and going to work to put up with the same old thing.

Sound familiar--

Believe it or not, you make that choice to put up with all the grief that your job may give you. There are so many opportunities out there, especially with the Internet. Now, I don't think it is right to just quit your job cold turkey and then try and start your own cash generating business. It does take some planning. Hopefully you can find time after your daily dreadful job to work on your own business. That's what I do...

Check it out, and join me if your interested.

MGM Supplements-Give yourself the Memory Mind Share

Sometimes while I'm at work I notice that I seem to remember more details than other around me. That is almost funny, because I was never the type of person that could just sit through a class and absorb everything. I used to spend hours studying for finals or a mid-term exam.

For the last six to eight months I have been taking MGM Supplements Memory Optimizer. It really does seem to work. At work I catch the small details that can make a complex task easy. For example, the other day some co-workers and myself had to attend a class on a particular computer program. I had played around a little bit with the program, but really not that much compared to some of my other coworkers. When the class was over and we were back in the office, I was bombarded with questions like "do you remember how to do this" or "how do I get to this screen." It was really then, when I noticed that the memory optimizer must really be doing something.

Try some for yourself....

When I saw this video all I could think of is how wonderful it is to be vibrant and healthy like the dancers in this video. Nothing is more important than your health.

Many times our mind plays an important role in our health.

A perfect example of this is Fred who went in for a routine exam. Now Fred is 75 years young and has never been sick a day in his life, but due to constant nagging from his wife who may as well live in the doctors office he went.

When routine blood work came back with a elevated PSA that's when all havoc broke loose. The doctor recommended he go in for a bioposy and his wife insisted too. Unfortunately the local hospital running the test couldn't get Fred in right away.

The earliest possible appointment wasn't for 6 weeks. Fred went home and started worrying what the biopsy would show. He went from an active 75 yr old who was an active gardener, to basically and feeble old man would could barely get up to sit in front of the television. When the day of the biopsy rolled around Fred looked like someone had just handed him a death warrant.

Fortunately Fred came through the biopsy surgery OK, but you could tell he still had the worry deep down of what test results would show. When test came back normal it was like Fred had gotten a new lease on life. He got home put his work clothes on and got busy living life again. I don't know how many folks have gone through what Fred did, but I do know it doesn't have to be like this.

Just recently New England Journal of Medicine concluded that screening for prostate cancer has little or no effect in prolonging men’s lives, and the risks posed by unnecessary treatment may outweigh the benefits of early detection. Imagine that!

In conclusion I encourage you to surround yourself with what makes you happy in life.... Such as this video that makes you feel like dancing too.

Don't ignore your health but feed your body with nutrients proven to support long term health... Such as Vitalizer

Ten Tips to Reduce Your Risk of Cancer


A message from...
Cindy McAsey- Mom w/family and a farm full of animals ~ chasing em til I am 90


Ten Tips to Reduce Your Risk of Cancer

In 2008, an estimated 1.5 million people in the United States were diagnosed with cancer, including over 700,000 new cases in men and nearly the same number of new cases in women. There were also over 650,000 cancer deaths last year, which ranks cancer second only to heart disease as a leading cause of death

Cancer is caused by changes in genes that control the growth and death of cells. The disease develops when cells continue to grow and divide instead of dying off when they get older as they would normally do. As cancer cells multiply, they can damage nearby tissues and can also spread to other parts of the body and develop into new tumors. While improvements in detection, diagnosis, and treatment have increased the survival rate for many types of cancer, we also encourage doing all you can do to prevent the disease as a core strategy of your prescription for optimal health.

With prevention in mind, here are 10 things we can all do to reduce the risk of developing cancer:

1. Avoid tobacco products and second-hand smoke
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States for both men and women. Ironically, it?s also the most preventable type of cancer. Some 87-percent of lung cancer deaths are attributable to exposure to tobacco smoke including roughly 3,000 deaths each year in non-smokers due to second-hand smoke. Of the 45 million Americans who still smoke in 2007, 30-percent of male and 21-percent of female high school students reported using some form of tobacco in the prior month. If you smoke, take the necessary steps to quit for the health of you and your loved ones.

2. Achieve and maintain a healthy weight
Being overweight increases your chance of developing certain types of cancer, including cancer of the esophagus, colon and rectum, and pancreas. Obesity also increases the risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women by roughly 50-percent, and endometrial cancer by about three fold. And carrying too much extra body weight is believed to account for up to 30-percent of kidney cancers in both men and women. Make smart food choices, control portion sizes, and fill up on fruits and vegetables to help manage your healthy weight and reduce your risk of cancer.

3. Get moving
The American Cancer Society recommends regular exercise as a way to prevent cancer. Regular exercise burns calories and can help you reach and maintain a healthy weight. Pick something that gets and keeps you moving like walking, hiking, cycling, swimming, team sports, and even dancing. Consider biking or walking to work, or take a walk during your lunch break. Be sure to gradually work up to 30-45 minutes of exercise a day for five or more days per week.

4. Eat more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains
Fruits and vegetables are naturally rich in dietary antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and a whole family of carotenoids that may help to protect your healthy genes from oxidative damage. Recent research suggests that eating tomatoes may help to protect against developing prostate cancer, while eating cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower, and brussels sprouts may help to protect against bladder cancer. Fruits and vegetables are also rich in fiber which can speed the transit of food through the digestive system and may reduce the absorption of cancer-causing chemicals. So eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables may be the best way to ensure broad spectrum protection.

5. Fresh is best
Until about 20 years ago, stomach cancer was the most common cancer worldwide, perhaps due to cultural preferences for eating large amounts of salt-preserved foods such as cured meats and pickled vegetables. This finding underscores the point that when it comes to eating most foods, it?s generally best to eat fresh rather than salted, cured, or pickled. In general, the less processed the food, the healthier it will be for you.

6. Limit alcohol intake
Excess alcohol consumption is associated with increased risks of cancers of the oral cavity, throat, voice box, esophagus, liver, breast, and possibly the colon and rectum. Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer diagnosed in women, and aside from carrying too much body weight, alcohol intake is the only other established risk factor for this disease. It?s recommended that men who drink alcohol should limit their intake to no more than 2 drinks per day, while women should limit their intake to no more than 1 drink daily.

7. Practice sun safety and check for changes in your skin
Ultraviolet radiation from the sun is damaging to your skin. The genetic damage it can cause to skin cells can lead to skin cancer, a disease that is increasingly common, especially among young people. Be aware that the sun?s peak time is between 10 am and 3 pm and that sunlight exposure can be intensified by up to 50-percent when reflected from sand, water, snow, ice, and concrete. When outdoors, cover up exposed areas and wear sun screen with an SPF of 15 or more. Know your skin and be aware of the location, size, and shape of moles and skin spots, and report any changes promptly to your physician.

8. Reduce your exposure to potential carcinogens
There are many substances in the environment with the potential to put you at higher risk for developing cancer. On the job, minimize your exposure to fumes, dust, solvents, and chemicals. Try to reduce your everyday exposure to potentially-toxic environmental chemicals in the home and?

Dust and vacuum regularly to rid your home of toxins attracted to dust Open windows and use fresh air to freshen and minimize indoor pollution Filter your drinking water to remove pollutants Switch to green cleaning products that are safe but still powerful

9. Know your family history and get screened
Some 5-10-percent of cancers are due to a genetic predisposition to cancer. Family history is a risk factor for common types of cancer including breast, ovarian, colon, and prostate cancer. If you have a family history of cancer your physician may recommend genetic testing to see if you have the type of gene that can increase your chance of developing cancer. For individuals with an average risk of cancer, the following cancer screening guidelines are recommended:

Breast cancer: Women should begin yearly mammograms at age 40 and conduct regular breast self exams starting in the 20?s.
Colon and rectal cancer: Men and women should have one or more screening tests including a colonoscopy starting at age 50.
Cervical cancer: All women should begin cervical cancer screening no later than 21 years of age.
Prostate cancer: Men should have the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test and digital rectal examination annually beginning at age 50.

10. Choose your dietary supplements wisely
Whether it's vitamin D, folic acid, calcium, the antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and the carotenoids, fiber, or emerging phytochemicals, nutrition surveys have made it clear that your diet is unlikely to be providing all the essential nutrients and other dietary factors you need to be at your healthiest. And dietary supplement studies have yielded compelling evidence that supplements can help to reduce the chance of developing cancer in undernourished individuals.

Researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and the University of Washington published a study in Nutrition and Cancer; 1. that evaluated the association between dietary and supplemental zinc and prostate cancer in 35,242 men participating in the VITAL cohort, a study specifically designed to evaluate the impact of dietary supplements on cancer risk. In this study, long-term supplemental zinc intake was in fact associated with reduced risk of clinically relevant advanced disease.

And as reported in the Archives of Internal Medicine; 2. National Cancer Institute researchers found that among postmenopausal women, the greater their total calcium intake from dietary supplements and food up to about 1,300 mg per day, the lower was their risk of developing cancer. For men and women, a diet rich in calcium from supplements and food was associated with a lower risk of developing cancers of the digestive system such as colon cancer. These findings are consistent with randomized clinical trials which have shown that calcium supplementation reduces the recurrence of colon polyps, which are precursors to colon cancer.

Clearly, dietary supplements play a key role in making up the nutrient shortfalls in your diet, and they provide a means of achieving optimal nutrient levels needed to achieve and maintain the best of health.

B Vitamins Are you getting enough?


A message from...
Cindy McAsey- Mom w/family and a farm full of animals ~ chasing em til I am 90


People are told a variety of things by health care professionals regarding the color of their urine, and sometimes the messages are contradictory .

Which of the statements below are true?

Statement #1: if your urine is yellow it is concentrated and you need to drink more water
Statement #2: if your urine is yellow it is a good thing and an indicator of good vitamin B intake
Statement #3: you should have clear urine at all times which indicates you are drinking enough water
Statement #4: if you drink ½ ounce of water per pound of body weight DAILY. you can watch your urine and use it as an indicator of how many water soluble B vitamins you need each day (this will vary dependant on your stress load)

Let's clear up the CONFUSION:

Statement #1: TRUE if you do not drink enough water daily, your urine will be concentrated and will be yellow. The formula for water intake is ½ ounce of water per pound of body weight DAILY (more is required for people who perspire heavily (athletes, people who work in "hot" environments, etc.)

Statement #2: TRUE your urine should be yellow 24 hours a day even when the individual is drinking the appropriate amount of water daily

Statement #3: FALSE you never want clear urine. It should be yellow at all times, especially when you are drinking adequate water daily

Statement #4: TRUE the urine is the perfect monitor to determine how much B Complex you should consume daily.

Explanation: Since B Vitamins are water soluble they do not store in the body. Any excess will spill into the urine. You want to see the EVIDENCE of spill-over 24 hours a day. B vitamins are nicknamed "happy vitamins" or "stress vitamins" and are used daily to:

feed the central nervous system
manufacture hormones
regulate homocysteine levels in the blood

You want EVIDENCE 24 hours a day that your level of B vitamins are 100% to maintain proper balance in all of the above functions. Even a slight deficiency will create PROBLEMS. Therefore, an informed health care professional will tell you to watch for true EVIDENCE of adequate B vitamins drink adequate water daily and maintain yellow urine 24 hours a day. (Urine should be a bright yellow the color of a typical HB lead pencil.)

Many people ask isn't yellow urine an evidence of waste? The answer is NO. If your urine is not yellow, you have NO IDEA what your level of B vitamins are. they could be 25% or 60% or 90%. With no evidence of overflow, you have no idea. Since the use of B vitamins varies drastically each day based on stress (emotional, physical & chemical), how much sleep you?ve had, your dietary intake, etc., and since only a slight deficiency can cause metabolic &chemistry imbalances in the body, you always want clear evidence of slight overflow.

Here's an analogy

If you went to bed and were given a narrow blanket to cover just the top of the body, but not wide enough to drape over your sides, you would still be cold. Why Of course, you would be exposed to cold air on your sides, so therefore you want a wide blanket that overflows on the sides. Is this overflow a "waste" ? of course not... it PROTECTS you from the cold. Use the same thoughts regarding the overflow of B vitamins in your urine. An overflow is an indication that you are PROTECTED from deficiencies.

Shaklee's B Complex (also known as the "happy" vitamin ") is perfect for bringing balance to many systems in the body - to find out more go to: Order B Complex at www.barefootmom.com

A message from...
Cindy McAsey-Mom with 2 kids, a husband, and a farm full of animals ~ chasing em til I'm 90


Acute inflammation is characterized by the redness, heat, swelling, and pain that is the immune system’s normal response to infection or injury. Immune cells congregate at the site so that they can overwhelm and dispose of infectious organisms or debris from injury. Thus healing takes place. But there’s another kind of inflammation—low-grade, chronic, and "systemic." It’s been getting a lot of attention lately.

Why it may be dangerous

The reason you hear so much about this kind of inflammation is that it may underlie a kind of "unified field" explanation of disease. That is, some researchers now believe that low-grade inflammation is associated with everything from heart disease and diabetes to Alzheimer’s and arthritis, and may even be the cause of most chronic diseases. This is not an entirely new theory. Inflammation was implicated in cancer many years ago.

There is an easy way to test for inflammation, since it can prompt the liver to produce a protein in the blood known as C-reactive protein (CRP). Elevated levels of CRP often accompany or signal an increased risk of heart attack and stroke. This may help explain why many people who get heart attacks have normal blood cholesterol levels and no other identifiable risk factors. Scientists have been searching for the missing pieces of this puzzle, and inflammation might be one of them. It might even be the most important piece.

We do know a lot about heart disease and its risk factors. High levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and low levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol are well-known risk factors, along with smoking, obesity, high blood pressure, family history, and being sedentary.

How to "tamp down" inflammation

The same steps that help prevent cardiovascular disease may reduce chronic inflammation:

• Eat a moderate amount of fish. The omega-3 fats in fish can reduce inflammation. The American Heart Association encourages people with heart disease to consume 1 gram of omega-3s a day from fish or supplements. Omega-3s may also help reduce the inflammation associated with rheumatoid arthritis. Be sure to add Shaklee OmegaGuard to your supplement regimen.
• Don’t smoke; avoid inhaling other people’s smoke.
• Talk to your doctor about low-dose aspirin to help prevent heart attack and stroke.
• Control your blood pressure with diet, exercise, and medication (if needed). This will reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke. It may also lower your CRP level.
• If you are overweight, weight loss should also reduce inflammation and the risk of chronic disease. Obese people tend to have high CRP. Check out our Safe Natural Weight Loss System
• It isn’t certain that aerobic exercise reduces inflammation, but it might. Physically fit people tend to have lower CRP.
