Patience

Do you realize how too much stress adversely effects your health? So much so that studies have shown that chronic stress causes 60% to 90% of ALL illnessess. We are one of the most stressed generations ever and a lot of it it self-induced! We have all of the conveniences one can imagine to make our life easier yet we're constantly running, hurrying, scheduling, multi-tasking, answering our cell phones (while driving), wolfing down fast-food, scheduling our days to squeeze in some "quality" time with the family and for what? To "get ahead"? To be "wealthy"? To have a bigger house? A bigger car? A bigger debt-load? Those things won't do us much good if we're not healthy enough or happy enough to enjoy them.

One thing I've noticed about getting "older" is that I have so much more patience with the little things that used to bother me like check-out lineups and traffic and waiting rooms. I've come to realize that the extra few minutes that I think I'm losing don't really amount to much in the big scheme of things. And it's so much fun to see other peoples' reactions when I step aside and let them go ahead of me or say "I'm in no rush - you go first." They usually aren't quite sure what to do at first....then they smile and thank me and, I like to hope, that I've lessened a tiny bit of the stress they may have been experiencing. It's become a game for me to see how many times a day I can "pay it forward" and it always makes me feel better.

Another thing I've come to realize - with personal development like losing weight, eating better or doing more physical activity - one must have patience. Things don't happen overnight. We have to remember that it has taken years for the BAD habits and damage to our bodies to develop and it's going to take time to make improvements and to see the results of your efforts. We have become such a "quick fix" society that we expect results NOW! We assume there must be a pill or something we can just take and it will make everything better - NOW! Sadly, that is why many people fail in their efforts to improve.

Over the past 20 days of participating in the 28-Day Health Challenge (http://www.seawellness.mycashmiracle.com/Step2.html) I have made sure to consistently take my whole food FrequenSea and, with each dose I felt good knowing I was putting the absolute best nutrition into my body. I didn't expect "miracles" on Day 1 but by Day 10 when my annoying hot flashes started to become less and less I knew something positive was happening. My body was responding to being fed properly. Now, on Day 20, my hot flashes are GONE! My skin looks and feels better. I feel clear-headed, focused and happy and, as a result, I have NO STRESS (or very little compared to how I used to feel) and, that in itself is probably doing as much for my good health as anything. I've also come to the realization that our body IS amazing because it really does have the ability to regenerate and heal itself if we give it the chance.

I can now say with confidence that if you're willing to follow this 28-Day Program you WILL experience improved health by giving your body a real chance to heal itself because I've experienced it first hand.
Do you have the patience to follow through for 28 days? Think about it. The rewards will be worth it in more ways than you can imagine. And, if you don't think you're ready for it yet, at least start reducing the stress in your life - let that person behind you in the check-out line go ahead of you and smile at that sales clerk who's having a bad day. Don't let stress continue to sabotage your health. :)
That's it for this week. Hope summer days are on the way! It's hard to be patient with this weather ;) Mary-Lou www.seawellness.myforevergreen.org/CAN_Products.html

Week 2 - Life's Great!

Well, 14 days of megadosing on FrequenSea by following the 28-Day Miracle (www.seawellness.mycashmiracle.com/Step2.html ) and I'm thrilled to report the following:

1. My hot flashes are basically GONE! I had tried many different herbal remedies over the past several months with no success. I am now sleeping all night again and feel refreshed when I wake up. Whoo Hooo! If getting rid of my hot flashes had been the only benefit of this 28-Day challenge that, in itself, would have been worth it.

2. My skin continues to look and feel smoother.

3. I feel clear-headed and focused all the time. This, of course, makes me feel happy, confident and optimistic about everything. I love this feeling!

4. My appetite is consistent. By that I mean I don't seem to have to eat as much to feel full and I don't have cravings.

5. Starting a few years ago I would get migraine headaches every couple of weeks (I chalked this up to my hormone levels changing) and I haven't had even a hint of a headache now for about 2 months. Remember, I was taking FrequenSea before though not in these large doses.

One more week and then I drop down to 4 oz. per day for 8 days. After the 28 days I will go back to my usual dose of 1 - 2 oz/day as my maintenance program.

I have to say, once those hot flashes disappeared I KNEW and really understood how well the body responds to perfect nutrition. Without proper nutrition the body just can't perform the way it should. It's like trying to grow a plant in a dark room with very little water - sure, it will grow but it will be spindley, droopy and yellow and will never survive.

And, sadly, even when we try to eat better we may still not be getting what we need. "Over the past century, the quality of fresh food has declined due to soil depletion, unsustainable farming practices, overproduction of crops, and the use of pesticides and herbicides. You can no longer assume you’re getting all of the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients you need by eating a multitude of fresh produce—even if you’re eating organically.

That's it for this week....here's hoping we get great weather for the long weekend!

7 Days In....Feeling Good!

Well, Week One of my 28-Day FrequenSea Challenge is complete and here's what I have to report:

After the first day or so I experienced "cleansing"symptoms (you can figure it out!) Nothing uncomfortable though. Also, my energy level is great but my mental clarity is what I've really noticed - I feel clear-headed and focused all the time. And the other really cool thing is, my skin seems to be getting smoother! I keep looking at my hands because that's where I notice it the most - they seem a lot younger looking and seem to have a lot more elasticity. (Wish I would have taken "before" and "after" pictures of them). I also don't feel as hungry as I used to and don't seem to want to eat as much.

I didn't really have specific health issues going into this but the things I'm noticing are like "bonuses" - things I hadn't really thought about - that are making me feel and look better than I have in ten years. And I have to think that if it's having this effect on the outside it must be doing really great things on the inside.

*************************************

It's gratifying to hear how often healthy living is becoming part of daily conversations - even the younger generation talk about reading ingredient labels in grocery stores, eating more fruits and vegetables, going to the gym (they've got me there - that's on my "To Do" list). I really think that we're on the brink of a full-blown "self-health" explosion and not a moment too soon. With childhood obesity hitting epidemic proportions and all of the health problems related to obesity- diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease, gall stones, gout, osteoarthritis and asthma to name some, it's imperitive that everyone take responsibility for their own health and not depend on the health industry or government to do it for us. Besides, it feels good to know you're the one in control of your own well-being - after all, it is YOUR body, YOUR life, YOUR future. I'm hopeful and excited that the next generation will be healthier and live longer while enjoying a fulfulling life.

Stay tuned for next week and enjoy the "finally Spring" weather.

Day 1 of 28 Day Health Challenge

Today I began the "Tom Harper 28-day Miracle" and will be taking 8 oz. of FrequenSea per day. With this program I'll be saturating the cells in my body with the most perfect microscopic food/nutrition on earth - marine phytoplankton - and I will be documenting and sharing my results. I'm excited to experience how the body responds when it's "fed" optimum nutrition in megadoses.



Ken & I have both been taking the ForeverGreen products for about 10 months now and have experienced improved health as well as a new resolve to take better care of the only body we have. Maybe it's our "advancing" age that has made us more conscious of how we're eating but one thing I've learned is that no matter how old you are or what health issues you're dealing with, the human body is an amazing entity and has the ability to heal itself if given the proper nutrition.



My own experience so far with these products has been a 30 year improvement to my cardiovascular system by taking Pulse 8, FrequenSea and Azul and an overall feeling of well-being. I just feel GOOD! My aches & pains have disappeared; I have more energy and a positive outlook. When I think back to a year ago, I thought I felt pretty good and any problems I did have I attributed to getting older. Now, I realize that I'm NOT old and won't be for a long time so I should take care of myself and, maybe, just maybe after several more birthdays go by I will still have the most important thing I can have - good health!



So, I'll keep you posted over the next 4 weeks. If you want to join me and take YOUR health to new levels, take the tour at www.8794548.mycashmiracle.com/Step2.html .

Oh, and.....HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY to all the moms out there! Motherhood is truly the best job on earth!
