In this day and age we ladies are running into alot of physical problems. Our unhealthy ways or our hormones are really getting to us! I have tried for years to eat better, take vitamins and exercise! Hahah...not until now have I accomplished some of these things. Most of you know I am having a bout with early detected breast cancer. I have fought my hormones for years and they finally have won out resulting in a hysterectomy in '07 and now a lumpectomy with lymph nodes removal in '11.
Our bodies are already in a bad state of affairs because we are soooo far removed from the perfect bodies Adam and Eve had in the Garden of Eden. Then to top it off, the food we eat either by choice or by financial reasons is mostly unhealthy!! Stress, life and unhealthy ways come together to make the perfect storm in our bodies rage!
My eyes have been open through my health trials and I wanted to take some time to encourage you with what I have learned. It took me forever to get it, to roll with it, to act upon it! So I understand and know where you are at....if you come away with even one good idea to improve your health as you see fit, I will be blessed!
We must corral our hormones and one good way to keep them in check is with vitamins! A good rounded daily vitamin from your local health food store is soooo important to us as women. Our emotions, our pre or post menopause, our weight and our organs are all at stake here. We need to feed our bodies with what is missing from our food! We can build a better body just by feeding each member what it needs to thrive in health! Then we can serve our Lord, our families and our communities with strength and perseverance! <3
Vitamin D 1,000mgs - 3,000mgs fights cancer
Vitamin C- 2,000mgs promotes healing and protects from illnesses! It has helped me to keep well this whole chemo season. I try to take 2,000mgs in the morning and 2,000mgs in the evening.
Other things we need!
We need things like encoated fish oil pills and flax (seed, oil or pills) These things help us to fight cancers, blood pressure problems and cholesterol! These 2 are very important to us a women. We cannot possibly eat enough of these so we must supplement!

I know for a fact that these things have helped me and my Oncology (cancer) doctor is amazed at how healthy I am!!
Next is Protein Drinks
We have been using Garden of Life's Raw Meal protein drink. I like it, we flavor it with a lite chocolate sauce and a banana! You truly feel satisfied all day and no cravings for the unhealthy, plus it keeps you regular! Yipee! You can get this at Sprouts. It is a good weight controller too! <3 Melissa and I feel very satisfied and good on these drinks! <3 They keep things moving at a really good pace! hahaha <3 This one you can get at Sprouts and it goes on sale from time to time. It is good to drink every morning!
What you eat together counts!
Read up on food pairings. This can be very important to your health! We are learning this too..and excellent book is The Beauty Detox Solution book by Kimberly Snyder C. N.
We are learning sooo much in it and no we are not going to be Vegan or Vegetarians! Haha!
But we need to add alot more vege's to our diet! We made her smoothie and it was really good. Also we made her No chickpeas zuchinni hummus and it is great. It is always good to get new ideas and learn new things.
Exercise!
Walking is the best exercise according to Dr. Oz. He says 10,000 steps is really good each day. No need to run and hurt your knees, and no need to go all out for an hour on the treadmill either. A nice walk on your treadmill and your all daily tasks can add up to all the steps needed. And truthfully I only accomplish this on Disneyland days! I believe our trips to Disneyland and all the walking we do has trully helped me with exercise!
Melissa and I bought cheap pedometers at Kmart and they really are fun to check and see what you've accomplished every now and again. I was amazed that on a regular day without even trying I walk 4500 steps!
Of course prayer, stillness before the Lord, the 2 of us working together and a splurge now and again alll help us tremendously in making changes that count!
I hope and pray that you can take one thing from this list and start to improve your health today! We can alll do better!
Blessings, Grace and Peace to you and yours!
