Exhausted from Not Sleeping?

When is the last time you had a good night’s sleep and woke up refreshed? For some of us problems sleeping are an occasional things—for others it is almost every night. There are so many reasons we experience sleep problems, but the bottom line is that not getting enough restful sleep does more than leave you feeling tired and worn out…and sometimes a little grumpy!

Here are some important reasons you must get sleep:

Driving without enough sleep can cause accidents. I recently started on a trip where I would be doing all the driving for two days. A few hours into the first day, I got so sleepy that nothing was working to wake me up. I tried running the air conditioner on really cold and blowing on me—playing lively music—stopping for food and walking around. Nothing was working!! Thankfully I had the good sense to pull into a rest stop just to rest for 15 minutes. I woke up 1 ¼ hours later.

Lake of sleep also causes more work related accidents and impairs attention, alertness, concentration, reasoning, and problem solving. It makes you more forgetful and can affect judgement.

Chronic sleep loss puts you at a great risk for many health problems such as heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke and diabetes. There are other studies that show those who sleep less than 6 hours a night are almost 30% more likely to be obese than those who sleep 7-9 hours. Sleep loss seems to stimulate appetite!! (Web MD). From personal experience, I know the nights I struggle to sleep are nights I snack more often…and not necessarily on the good, healthy foods I should be eating!

If you are convinced that you are having problems with sleeping—whether it is every night or occasionally—it might be time to consider a natural supplement like Perfect Sleep. Perfect Sleep by UltaLife is the natural sleep aid you can count on to deliver a full night’s sleep WITHOUT the waking up in a fog or groggy.

Get Help For Arthritis

I have a friend who was furious when AARP sent him an AARP Card in the mail!! He would never tell his age….until he realized there were benefits to getting older like discounts on senior coffee or tea and other discounts with that AARP card.

I have been a little like my friend, Don, too. I have not wanted to admit I have arthritis. I didn’t want to take meds for it and generally I used the old saying—’grin and bear it’. Did not want anyone to think I was getting old!!

But in the last months the aches and pains have been getting progressively worse. My fingers hurt when I bend them—especially at night. The joints are swelling and I can no longer wear some of my rings. One of my knees brings on a sudden pain when I don’t expect it. I got up from my couch last week and found myself walking bent over – had to make myself stand up straight in spite of the pain in my back.

This is my confession. I have arthritis and it is time for me to do something about it. I want to stay active and realize I will certainly look and feel older if I let this pain and stiffness take over. I want to enjoy an active lifestyle.

I know my friend, Bonnie, takes UltaLife Glucosamine so I asked her if it really works for her. Bonnie loves UltalIfe Glucosamine Super Blend and says it makes a huge difference for her. So I checked it out for myself and here is what I found.

Glucosamine is vital for building cartilage which is the flexible, tough connective tissue found in parts of the body. This fine, rubbery tissue functions as padding, a cushion for bones and joints. Glucosamine plays a crucial role in incorporating sulfur into cartilage in order to make and repair it. As people age, glucosamine levels fall. In time, this can lead to joint deterioration.

I also found out why Ultalife Glucosamine Super Blend is the right Glucosamine for me!

*Glucosamine Super Blend helps in creating new building blocks for worn cartilage and painful joints UltaLife has done the heavy lifting for you and put it all together in easy-to-swallow vegetable capsules containing 5 main ingredients that work wonders on your body.

Want to find out more about Glucosamine Super Blend? Check it out. UltaLife is offering a 25% discount for a limited time. That makes a 30 day supply less than 15.00. That is only 50 cents a day.

Simple Ways To Get Healthy

When we think about getting healthy, we encounter so many rules, restrictions and guidelines that we give up before we even get started. Getting healthy does not have to be such a big deal. Did you know that small tweaks and changes can bring about big results?

Here are a few things to consider. Pick one or two and begin today.

Develop an attitude of gratitude. Look for the good in situations and be thankful for the good things in your life.
Exercise daily. It does not have to be an hour—just do something. The fitness trackers are great because they are motivational. Many cell phones have apps that track steps and activity too.
Get your sleep. Turn down the volume on your phone at night so that incoming messages do not wake you.
Aim for 5 servings of fruit and vegetables daily.
Limit trans and saturated fats—eat more of the healthy fats (see https://ultalife.co/blog/there-are-good-fats/)
Learn to recognize REAL hunger—not head hunger. Eat only when you are truly stomach hungry and quit as soon as you feel satisfied—not stuffed!
Make a list of all your meds and list any allergies. Keep a copy in your wallet and post one on your refrigerator.
Consider adding natural supplements.

There are many reasons you might need to add a quality, natural supplement to your diet. The FDA says that nutrient levels have fallen 81% in the last 30 years. We can eat the exact foods our grandparents ate and be far below in nutritional value.

Meats—the meats we buy in our grocery stores come from animals fed a diet of grain and soy. They have been fattened quickly and unnaturally by hormones and are full of antibiotics.

How about our vegetables and fruits? Surely they are the same!! No, Michael Wald, MD says the soil itself has been over-harvested, meaning that over years of use and turnover of soil, it becomes depleted in nutrition. That means crops growing in depleted soil are also depleted in nutritional value. Vegetables and fruits grown decades ago were much richer in vitamins and minerals

Processed foods. For many of us, processed foods are the bulk of our diets. Think about how your grandmother used to serve meals. Chances are there was not one processed food on the table. Even the richer foods and desserts were made with quality ingredients and contained no fillers, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, synthetic trans fats, MSG or artificial colors. ALWAYS read the food labels and for the most part, avoid processed foods.

We agree that we are not getting all the nutrients we need in our diets and we need to supplement our diets. Check out our entire line of UltaLife Supplements. UltaLife offers the best natural supplements available in the marketplace and gives you the most effective formulas for optimal results and ultimate living.

Your body is a wonderfully made, complex machine!! You eat healthy, you manage your weight, you exercise and you get a good night’s sleep, but you can still have INFLAMMATION at work in your body. You are probably not aware of the inflammation but it can silently be making you old—your body and your brain. Or maybe you are dealing with a health problem that just doesn’t seem to get better…or you are just tired all the time! One of the best things you can do for yourself and your body is to control inflammation!

Joint pain, back pain, sciatica, muscle soreness, back problems or flare ups with your sciatic nerve, gout, stomach bloating and gas, IBS……..

How Important Are The Kidneys?

Do you ever consider how important your kidneys are to your overall health? Most of us don’t think about our kidneys as long as they are functioning correctly. They are vital organs!! Did you know the kidneys process about 2.2 pints of blood per minute? They filter wastes (up to two quarts) from the blood and send it to the bladder. Their function also helps to regulate your blood pressure and balance acidity and electrolyte levels.

There will be World Kidney Day in March 2018. The purpose of this day to make people more aware of the importance of their kidneys and what they can do to protect them. Let’s start now to make simple changes to protect these vital organs. Hypertension and Diabetes can cause many problems in the body—they are key risk factors for chronic kidney disease. Don’t ignore high blood pressure or diabetes! Stay active, eat healthy, watch your weight and drink plenty of water! Do not smoke—smoking slows the blood flow to the kidneys…AND can increase the risk of kidney cancer by 50%.

Sweet Potatoes Are For More Than Holidays!

I love sweet potatoes!! I know some people want a baked sweet potato drenched in butter…or a sweet potato casserole loaded with butter, brown sugar and marshmallows! And I agree—those are YUMMY!

Personally, I love a sweet potato baked—just like it is. It is full of nutrition and one food we should have in our diets more frequently. This edible tuberous root is long and tapered and the flesh can range in colors. The sweeter ones have red, pink or orange flesh.

Why Exercise After 50?

Are you over 50? Remember when we were in our 20’s and 30’s? I would exercise with my main goal being to fit into a certain size clothes…be able to proudly go to the beach…look as good as my friends. How about you?

Now that I am a little older, my priorities have changed. At 50 plus, my health and well-being are my main concerns. My body is not the same as it was in my younger years so the way I exercise has had to change. I have a good life now and I am independent of needing help to enjoy my life…and I want it to stay that way!

I will list a few reasons we need to exercise and the best things to do. I am sure you can add to this list. Exercise to build or maintain muscle mass. Our metabolism slows as we age and muscles burn more calories than fat. Exercise can help with illnesses like heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis, osteoporosis and many more.

Do You Have Stiff Achy Joints?

REALLY? Are you still suffering with achy, sore joints, stiffness and swelling? Do you know how important Glucosamine is to your body?

Glucosamine is vital for building cartilage which is the flexible, tough connective tissue found in parts of the body. This fine, rubbery tissue functions as padding, a cushion for bones and joints and also plays a crucial role in incorporating sulfur into cartilage in order to make and repair it. As we age, our glucosamine levels fall…and this could lead to joint deterioration.

Don’t let achy joints rob you of your active lifestyle!

Ten Minute Health Challenge

I am one of those people who try to do everything 100%. I have found that expecting myself to be nearly perfect is a task I can never achieve. What about you?

Let’s use exercise as an example. I read—and my cardiologist insists—that I should exercise 30 minutes most days of the week. That seems reasonable, doesn’t it?

Want my list of excuses? “I am overwhelmed by all I have to do and just don’t have the time”…”It’s too hot (or cold) outside to walk”…”It is boring to walk on the treadmill”….and I am sure you could add to my list.

The truth is that most days I am unable (or unwilling) to commit to the 30 minutes of exercise!! But wouldn’t 5 or 10 minutes be better than nothing?? Of course it would and maybe some days I could sneak in 10 minutes twice a day….and some days even get in the full 30 minutes!!

This is my challenge to me and to you. Every day work in some exercise. Don’t be defeated and do nothing if you don’t have time for a full 30 minutes of exercise.

Let’s commit to at least 10 minutes daily. You can do it…and so can I!!
