What Does It Mean to Be Resilient?

shutterstock_408418192Merriam-Webster defines resilience as a character trait in which a person is “able to become strong, healthy, or successful again after something bad happens.” If you’ve ever experienced a loss personally or professionally, you know just how hard it is to recover.

This could be something as simple as adding more exercise to your daily routine or choosing to eat fresh fruits and vegetables in place of canned goods. It may involve taking regular breaks to rest and recharge your batteries.

I had my 6 month appointment with my cardiologist last week. I mentioned my Omega 3 capsules. He told me if I ever got an aftertaste from them, I should freeze them and then it wouldn’t happen. I had no idea of this!! He told me the purpose of the Omega 3 (fish oil) is to reduce inflammation. Well, it turns out inflammation does damage to many more areas of our body than the heart.

We all know that obviously men and women have different appearances. Body shapes are usually different—men tend to gain muscle mass while women don’t (or at least most don’t) want bulging muscles.

Ultalife Colon Cleanse

Why Colon Cleanse?

As an endoscopist I see the inside of Colons weekly, many despite the Colon Prep that

water to permeate. A routine Colon Cleanse helps to clear the intestine of residual

undigested matter and improve it’s ability to absorb nutrients.
