How Important Are Your Kidneys?

Your kidneys, shaped like a bean and about the size of your fist, are located in the middle of your back just below the rib cage. Kidneys are vital to your health. 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.

Our AMAZING KIDNEYS! Yet we tend to neglect our kidneys unless a problem develops—like infections, kidney stones, etc.  We need to take care of our kidneys all the time—before problems develop.

For Men with Beards and the Women Who Love Them!

So many men have beards now—but I never would have known they could have these problems with their beards!!

Lost a M&M in my beard while eating a pack & it just fell out.. I guess I was saving it for later..

There are knots in my beard and my comb got stuck

First thing when I look at a menu “what’s not messy!?

The Wisdom of Abraham Lincoln

The wisdom of Abraham Lincoln should never be overlooked. When anyone asks me who I admire most, my answer is always Lincoln. What a man born to a destiny and a time!

“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the LIFE in your years”

This quote speaks to us about living our years with the BEST HEALTH possible.

I was having a discussion with a friend just today about who knows best what to give our bodies–the doctor who we see twice a year and who knows us by a name in a folder–or US–who live in our bodies everyday and know what it needs.

Sometimes I balk at taking my supplements in the morning–a regime I’ve been doing for 30 years now. And every once in awhile I review the list again–to see if there’s any I’m willing to part with. I always come up with the same answer–NO WAY! I intend on living a healthy fulfilled life so which one of these body enhancing supplements am I willing to stop?

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. If you’re not in the best of health physically, mentally or financially, it could prove to be very difficult.

That’s why it’s important to do what you can now, prior to a loss, to become more resilient. 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.
