Better Bladder And Bowel Control!

Most of us take bladder and bowel control for granted, that is until we have children {women can experience incontinence postnatally due the trauma through the birthing process}, and both males and females often experience incontinence in later life due to a lack of conditioning and use of the pelvic floor muscles as a result of sedentary living and poor nutrition {fiber provides a workout and toning for the smooth muscle in our digestive tract and bowels}.

That old adage; "if you don't use it, you lose it." is so true for all of our bodies cells....as each of these billions of cells is a "life-force" and representative of us. They all need to be exercised daily, nourished and nurtured, just as we do.

To conclude, I urge you to take control of your health now, rather than wait for something to go wrong and then require medical intervention - "prevention is better than cure."

A product that I regularly use and have done for some time is that mighty spice, Turmeric because it is an incredibly medicinal spice and also one that has been used in many, flavorsome cuisines such as curries for thousands of years. I even put organic turmeric powder into my 1.9 Liter Stanley thermos flask with fennel seeds, ginger and green tea, which I then use throughout the day. I find it very cleansing and a wonderful digestive tonic.

Another option is a new organic product that I'm proud to be a part of and to promote. It is, PURATHRIVE Certified Organic Liposomal Tumeric Extract - Relieve Pain And Inflammation Naturally!

Thank you so much for your precious time and I wish you abundant good health, wealth, peace, love and much happiness

Do you need a thyroid test?

Undetected low levels of thyroid hormone may underlie subtle changes that can increase your risk of cardiovascular disease.

For a gland only two inches in size, the thyroid has a huge influence on our health. It produces a hormone that is carried in the bloodstream to all parts of the body. Thyroid hormone plays a major role in regulating metabolism—the process by which body cells convert nutrients into energy—and thereby helps regulate body temperature, heart rate, and even brain function. So when thyroid hormone levels fall, the body slows.

Don't Miss Our Upcoming Thyroid Secret Documentary Series - FREE and Onliine - March 1st - March 9th 2017

  Thyroid Diseases

The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that is situated in the neck under the, Adam's apple. It regulates the body's metabolism by sending thyroid hormone to the organs through the blood. Two conditions, an overactive thyroid gland (hyperthyroidism) and an underactive thyroid gland (hypothyroidism) can result when the thyroid isn't working right.

Hyperthyroidism

An overactive thyroid gland generates too much thyroid hormone, which speeds up metabolism. Common symptoms of hyperthyroidism include:

·       rapid heart rate

·       frequent bowel movements, even diarrhea

·       excessive perspiration

·       weakness

·       insomnia

·       irritability and anxiety

·       increased appetite

                   weight loss

 The first line of treatment for an overactive thyroid gland is drug therapy. If that doesn't resolve the problem, a dose of radioactive iodine may fix the problem by destroying thyroid cells. Sometimes the treatment damages so much of the gland that it can't produce enough thyroid hormone and it becomes necessary to take thyroid hormone. Surgery to remove some of the thyroid gland can be an option when other treatments don't work or aren't advisable.

Hypothyroidism

An underactive thyroid gland doesn't generate enough thyroid hormone. This condition, which slows metabolism, is increasingly common with age. It can also be caused by Hashimoto's disease, a condition in which the body's immune system attacks the thyroid gland, or by thyroiditis, an inflammation of the gland.

Symptoms of hypothyroidism include:

·       fatigue

·       constipation

·       dry skin

·       muscle pain

·       hair loss

·       weight gain

Hypothyroidism is usually treated by taking thyroid hormone.


The treatments offered by conventional medicine to thyroid patients (i.e. synthetic thyroid hormones, radioactive iodine, thyroid gland removal, etc.) often leave people with recurring symptoms and result in a progressive condition that continues to dominate their lives and leaves them sick, exhausted, depressed and struggling with their weight.

The Thyroid Secret will help to raise awareness about thyroid conditions (such as hypothyroidism, Hashimoto's, Graves disease, nodules, thyroid cancer, hyperthyroidism and postpartum thyroiditis) as well as the interventions that get to the root cause of their conditions and can help a person recover their health.

We feature a lineup of top thyroid and health experts, including Dr. Izabella Wentz, Dr. Alan Christianson, Dr. Tom O'Bryan, Dr. Datis Kharrazian, Andrea Nakayama, Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Kelly Brogan, Sayer Ji, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, Dave Asprey + Hashimoto's Awareness and Thyroid Change charities. Plus numerous patient stories depicting their painful experiences as well as the healing that is possible.

This documentary has innovative, actionable, effective and easy to understand solutions coupled with patient empowerment.

The Thyroid Secret will connect with viewers on a personal, emotional, intellectual and whole person level to show them that recovering their health is within reach if they take action!

In addition, I'm working for a fantastic company called Thyroid Health Media in order to help create a greater awareness about Thyroid Health, and to promote their forthcoming Thyroid Secret Documentary - FREE and Online from March 1st -  March 9th 2017.

Relaxation techniques: Breath control helps quell errant stress response!

The term "fight or flight" is also known as the stress response. It's
what the body does as it prepares to confront or avoid danger. When
appropriately invoked, the stress response helps us rise to many
challenges. But trouble starts when this response is constantly provoked
by less momentous, day-to-day events, such as money woes, traffic jams,
job worries, or relationship problems.



Health problems are one result. A prime example is high blood
pressure, a major risk factor for heart disease. The stress response
also suppresses the immune system, increasing susceptibility to colds
and other illnesses. Moreover, the buildup of stress can contribute to
anxiety and depression. We can't avoid all sources of stress in our
lives, nor would we want to. But we can develop healthier ways of
responding to them. One way is to invoke the relaxation response,
through a technique first developed in the 1970s at Harvard Medical
School by cardiologist Dr. Herbert Benson. The relaxation response is a
state of profound rest that can be elicited in many ways, including
meditation, yoga, and progressive muscle relaxation.



Breath focus is a common feature of several techniques that evoke the
relaxation response. The first step is learning to breathe deeply and to be conscious of your reactions to stressful situations;
