The Night Before Christmas--Diet Version

'Twas the Night Before Chrismas---Diet Version

'Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house

Nothing would fit me, not even a blouse.

The cookies I'd nibbled, the eggnog I'd taste

At the holiday parties had gone to my waist.

When I got on the scales there arose such a number!

When I walked to the store (less a walk than a lumber).

I'd remember the marvelous meals I'd prepared;

The gravies and sauces and beef nicely rared.

The wine and the rum balls, the bread and the cheese

And the way I'd never said, "No thank you, please."

As I dressed myself in my husband's old shirt

And prepared once again to do battle with dirt --

I said to myself, as I only can "You can't spend a winter

disguised as a man!"

So--Away with the last of the sour cream dip,

Get rid of the fruit cake, every cracker and chip!

Every last bit of food that I like must be banished

'Til all the additional ounces have vanished.

I won't have a cookie--not even a lick.

I'll want only to chew on a long celery stick.

I won't have hot biscuits, or corn bread, or pie.

I'll munch on a carrot and quietly cry.

I'm hungry, I'm lonesome, and life is a bore--

But isn't that what January is for?

Unable to giggle, no longer a riot.

Happy New Year to all and to all a Good Diet!

Of course, if you really want to lose weight after the holidays, the easiest way is Visi!

8 Reasons to Drink More Water

 #1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

(Likely applies to half the world population)

#2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is mistaken for hunger.

#3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as 3%.

#4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

#5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

#6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain or up to 80% of sufferers.

#7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page.

#8.. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%., and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. Are you drinking the amount of water you should drink every day?

10 Best Sleeping Tips

1

   Exercise--- 30 minutes 4 times per week will improve sleep quality.
Cherries---  This fruit is rich in melatonin which helps the body regulate the sleep cycle.

  Same Time Ritual--- Try to go to bed at the same time every night.

 Chill Out ---- A cool bedroom lowers your core body temperature, which initiates sleepiness.

  Relax--- A warm bath with lavender or rose oil will calm the nerves, and raise your body temperature to help you fall asleep faster.

  Sheet Quality --- Choose sheets that you love. Crisp and cool, go with percale. Prefer soft and cozy?  Then go with sateen or flannel.  A long lasting linen is an Egyptian cotton.

 Lights off--- Turn off the TV or computer. Face the alarm clock away from you so you don’t see the time during the night and then start thinking of the day ahead.

  Sleep Sideways--- Snoring, besides bothering a partner, can wake you up. Airways are most blocked when on your back, so sleep on your side.

Cut Coffee—Cut out coffee or other caffeine by 2 pm. It may be difficult to cut out caffeine when you hit your afternoon slump, but take a walk or drink a glass of water instead.
  
)Mattress—Choose the mattress that is not too hard or too soft.  Flip and rotate your mattress every few months to avoid lumps or sags.

Helping Your Eyes with Kangen Water

 I recently discovered this article from an Eye Doctor who explained how to use Kangen Water to improve the eyes. Macular Degeneration, Chronic Dry Eyes, Pink Eye...can all be helped with Kangen Ionized Water.  Here is the article--

KANGEN WATER AND EYE HEALTH
Dr Nhung Brandenburg

Dr. Nhung Brandenburg received her Doctor of Optometry degree
from the Southern College of Optometry in 1997, where she
graduated magna cum laude, and her Bachelor of Science degree
from the University of Central Florida. After graduation, she joined
a surgical practice where she managed a variety of ocular diseases
and provided pre and post-operative care for cataract, glaucoma
and refractive surgery patients. Dr. Brandenburg has extensive
experience in the treatment of eye disease, red eyes, injuries and
specialty contact lenses (including hard-to-fit bifocal and corneal
refractive therapy).

Excerpts from a video testimony of her experiences with Kangen
ionized water.
When Dr. Nhung first tried the Kangen ionized water, she did so
because of her husband’s health problems. He suffered from
severe migraine headaches, high blood pressure, high cholesterol,
and acid reflux. After a month on the Kangen ionized water, he
went to his doctor for a check up and found that he had lost
weight, his cholesterol numbers were lower, and his blood pressure
was down almost 50 points. He also had no more problems with
acid reflux and migraine headaches.

Dr. Nhung said she was already very healthy, but after drinking the
Kangen water her energy levels improved greatly and helped her at
work with her demanding schedule and being constantly on her
feet going from room to room to see her patients.

Dr. Nhung sees patients of all ages who have diabetes and high
blood pressure. Because of the diabetes they need to have
medical eye exams to check on signs of bleeding and leakage in
the back of the eye. She said that her patients who drank the
Kangen ionized water saw reduced blood sugar levels after only
two weeks and some it took two months. Their doctors reduced
their insulin because of that. These patients saw less signs of dayto-
day fluctuating vision and their night vision was improved. She
said that overall their vision was more stable from day to day.
Dr. Nhung also believes the Kangen ionized water can help eye
health in many other ways because of its unique properties to
eliminate waste, enhance metabolism and hydrate the eye.
She says: “ Kangen waters unique properties is a huge
enhancement to eye health. Especially with dry eyes, Macular
Degeneration, and Glaucoma.

Dry eye patients reported a reduced need for artificial tears or
prescribed medications for dry eyes when they drank the Kangen
ionized water. Also, stys were resolved quickly when using the
Kangen strong acidic 2.5 pH water in the eye.

(My Note: I personally have used the 2.5 pH Kangen ionized water
in my eyes when I had pink eye and it took care of it in less than 24
hours because it has the ability to kill all bacteria, fungus and virus
on contact.)

Dr. Nhung also stated: “This water also reduces puffiness of skin
around eyelids as well as the sunken look of the eye socket when
eyes become dehydrated. Because of Kangen ionized water’s
antioxidant, it has great potential for help inside the eye, especially
with Macular Degeneration. The center part of the eye breaks
down as we age and cannot remove waste products well; these
wastes sit on the retina and cause bleeding, scar formation and
potential blind spots and central blindness. Research has proven
that people with Macular Degeneration can stabilize or slow down
this disease with antioxidants and may not lose their vision.
Because Kangen ionized water has around 8 to 10 times more
antioxidant value than most it can be used as an adjunct to
increase antioxidant levels and help eliminate waste from the
macula and can potentially improve the vision of someone with
Macular Degeneration.”

Regarding Diabetes and Glaucoma, Dr. Nhung states: “Glaucoma
is related to blood flow to the eye. Kangen ionized water has the
ability to enhance blood flow to the back of the eye and also
improve circulation. Diabetes is also related to blood flow.”
“In my opinion, Kangen ionized water has a great deal of potential
to help people with eye health problems. I have been
recommending it to patients because of its unique characteristics
to reduce inflammation and to increase blood flow and thereby
enhance their lives”

Best Fruits to Eat?

Eating whole fruits is better than drinking juice. If you should drink juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it. You can go on a 3-day fruit fast to cleanse your body. Just eat fruits and drink fruit juice throughout the 3 days and you will be surprised when your friends tell you how radiant you look! Here are some of the healthiest fruits--


 
KIWI: Tiny but mighty. This is a good source of potassium, magnesium, vitamin E & fiber. Its vitamin C content is twice that of an orange.

APPLE: An apple a day keeps the doctor away? Although an apple has a low vitamin C content, it has antioxidants & flavonoids which enhances the activity of vitamin C thereby helping to lower the risks of colon cancer, heart attack & stroke.

STRAWBERRY: Protective Fruit. Strawberries have the highest total antioxidant power among major fruits & protect the body from cancer-causing, blood vessel-clogging free radicals. h
 
ORANGE : Sweetest medicine. Eating 2-4 oranges a day may help keep colds away, lower cholesterol, prevent & dissolve kidney stones as well as lessens the risk of colon cancer.

WATERMELON: Coolest thirst quencher. Composed of 92% water, it is also packed with a giant dose of glutathione, which helps boost our immune system. They are also a key source of lycopene — the cancer fighting oxidant. Other nutrients found in watermelon are vitamin C & Potassium.

GUAVA & PAPAYA: Top awards for vitamin C. They are the clear winners for their high vitamin C content.. Guava is also rich in fiber, which helps prevent constipation. Papaya is rich in carotene; this is good for your eyes. 



Enjoy your fruits!
