OUTLANDER MOMENT: THE KISS THAT NEVER WAS
Claire: Tell me about your family
Jamie: (after a quick “Huh” moment and then a laugh) “How far back.”
TODAY LET’S LOOK AT A FEW TIPS FOR A HAPPIER HEALTHIER LIFE:
TAKE A DIFFERENT LOOK AT YOUR LIFE: Instead of looking as things as chores and play try to find enjoyment in all the things you have to do. Make chores more interesting by exploring different ways to do things or different ways to look at them. May all your life an adventure in one way or another.
AVOID TOE CRAMPS: By changing heel heights regularly. Any heel no matter how high or low can cause pressure on the foot if worn for too long a time. Give your feet a break and change the size.
PREPARE FOOD SAFELY: Clean plastic cutting boards with a bleach solution between each use to avoid contamination. Don’t use the sink to wash vegetables in–it’s usually filthy–use a colander instead. Never touch seasonings or other food with the same hand you touch meat with without washing it.
LEARN A NEW WAY TO MEDITATE: (from Prevention Magazines): Pick a quiet place (i.e. bedroom or living room) where you can walk slowly back and forth and in circles. Looking straight ahead, focus on one aspect of walking. For example, home in on your feet: Notice how the foot makes contact with the ground, weight shifts and the movement of the other foot as well do this for 10 minutes and when your mind wanders bring it back to the body part you’re concentrating on. This is called Mindful Walking.
DRINK TO RELIEVE COLDS AND FLUS (from Herbal Antibiotics by James A. Duke, Ph.D.)
2 tsps. sage
Juice of one lemon (or 1 tsp lemon balm herb)
Pinch cayenne pepper
1 tbsp (15 ml) wildflower honey
Pour 1 cup of boiling water over sage and allow to steep for 10 minutes. Strain out herbs, add remaining ingredients and drink hot.
DO THINGS TOGETHER: “ with your kid, even if you are doing them separately, is powerful glue.” Joe Kita
SNACK HEALTY: Apple with a dollop of peanut butter.
AVOID DEPRESSION: impulsiveness and hostility as well s reducing anxiety and symptoms of bipolar disorder by taking Omega-3s. (Mood Foods by Jack Challem, July 1014)
AVOID VARICOSE AND SPIDER VEINS: Consistent exercise and consuming a diet rich in vitamin C and flavonoids which support connective tissues. (Citrus fruit and grape seed extract area particularly good according to the Healthy Edge May 2014)
GET PLENTY OF SLEEP: Try a nice soaking bath to relax your body and soothe any aches and pains prior to sleep. Also be sure your bed and bedroom are comfortable—a cool, dark room helps a lot.
