Thank you for subscribing to our health & wellness monthly newsletter
Don't Cheat But Treat!
I'm sure you have heard the saying "Big surprises come in small packages,"
but have you ever heard the saying "Even bigger surprises come in bigger
packages?" Well, while not true in all cases, it will usually hold true for
eating while you are dieting.
A treat is just that, a treat. Therefore you should treat it, as a treat…am I
confusing you? Hold on. A treat is great as long as it's planned. That's the
key word friend. If it's planned smartly, then it's not cheating, but treating.
Cheating is where it is not planned. If hunger gets the best of you for
example, or someone offers you something sweet to eat and you just don't
have the tact or will to refuse it. Cheating is also characterized by a feeling
of guilt afterwards.
Are there any reasons for treating? You bet! The first reason being it keeps
you from uncontrolled bingeing. If you go too long without the real foods
you like, no matter how strong your will power is you will eventually break.
And that's not the best thing for your head.
Second, it helps to keep your metabolism up. Let me explain. If you keep
eating the same amount of restricted calories day in and day out your body
will become used to it therefore regulating itself. But if you introduce a
higher amount of calories, say once a week, your body will then be given a
higher number to work with and the end result will be an increased
metabolic rate. The body will think, "Whoa, what's going on here! I better
shape up!"
How do you regulate this? Just pick one day in seven like a Saturday and
just eat normal foods while not counting calories. Also, throw in some junk
foods for good measure. As mentioned above this will cure those cravings!
Thirdly, this is great if you know you have to go to a social or something
like a wedding where food will constantly be around you. You won't have
to worry for that day and you also won't have to worry about blowing your
diet.
Many times people get discouraged because they feel 'forced' to cheat
because of the pressure and they also don't want to come across as rude.
This is true, a lot of people don't understand what you're going through but
this little tidbit of information will fix the problem.
Once a person gets stuck in this rut it is very hard for some to get out. They
often think that because they let this happen that they will never achieve
their goals. Well, this isn't the case! They also feel depressed because they
feel they have lost their direction and they have to start over. "Well, back to
the old drawing board!"
But! If you know something like your treat day is logically planned and has
scientific backing to it you will not feel guilty but good! You will also feel
good knowing that you didn't cheat and that you deserve it! And once you
start losing the weight, people might wonder how you do it!
With a bit of common sense you can work with this idea. If your junk day is
on Friday for example and you have that party on Saturday just improvise!
Switch your days and be flexible. Remember that with fitness, nothing is
written in stone.

Motivational Quote:
"People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and
shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their
true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within."
"Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing left to
add, but when there is nothing left to take away. "
"You will do foolish things, but do them with enthusiasm."
Healthy Recipe
Colds and Flu Tea
Pour 1 cup boiling water over 2 tbs mixture.
Use 2 tbs of mixture per 1 cup hot water. Steep 10 minutes; strain.
Just use equal parts of each, or pre-made tea bags...3 bags, 1 of boneset,1 of echinacea, and 1 of peppermint.
The echinacea works as an immune system builder, the boneset is great for congestion, aches and fever (the classic flu symptoms), and the peppermint aids with any stomach complaints due to drainage from the sinuses, and just works as a great overall "feel-good".
Use 1 tsp. of the herb mixture per cup of boiling water to soothe irritations of the upper respiratory tract that cause coughing.
Natural Beauty recipe
Cinnamon Soap
Melt a bar of unscented glycerin soap and add 10 drops cinnamon essential oil (and a drop of red food coloring if
you wish) and pour it into a mold.
Depression Soap
2 ga Whole sweet milk

Advanced Micronutrition with Botanical Factors - Fuel your cells for peak performance.
Every activity you do-from breathing to dancing to thinking-depends on a constant supply of energy at the cellular level. To ensure you have energy in a readily available form, the cells of your body contain their own tiny powerhouses called mitochondria.
Through a series of biochemical processes known as the Krebs Cycle, the mitochondria create energy stores in the form of ATP. Your body then withdraws energy from the ATP stores day and night as needed.
By taking improved Cell Activator® throughout the day, you can help ensure your cells energy stores stay full and maximize your use of essential nutrients.* As a result, you'll have the energy you need to feel great and function at your best.*

Editor’s notes & Humour:
SPIRIT
Spiritual health, while often the most overlooked aspect of healing, is actually the ultimate goal of holistic medicine, and leads to a heightened awareness of the Divine Spirit referred to by all religions. "It isn't important what name you give it," Dr. Ivker points out.
"What matters is that you come to know and attune yourself to its guidance in all areas of your daily life. Doing so will reduce your feelings of fear, and provide you with a greater capacity for loving yourself and others unconditionally. It will also help you reconnect to your special talents and gifts and use them to fulfill your life's purpose."
In addition to being consciously aware of the role Spirit plays in your life, being spiritually healthy also means being intimately connected to your spouse, partner, family, friends, and community, resulting in social health, as well.
"Spiritual and social health are interconnected, since it is through our committed relationships that we find the greatest opportunities for spiritual growth and for learning how to receive and impart unconditional love," Dr. Ivker says.
In addition to the observance of spiritual and religious traditions, working with spiritual counselors and support groups are common methods of creating spiritual and social health, as are the opportunities afforded us through our friendships, marriage, intimate relationships, and parenting.
A variety of self-care approaches, including prayer, meditation, gratitude, and spending time within nature, can further deepen your awareness of yourself as a spiritual, socially-connected being, and are increasingly being recommended by conventional and holistic physicians alike.
Prayer is the most common form of spiritual practice performed by most Americans, and the majority of people who pray report a greater sense of well-being than those who don't.
Harvard researcher and mind/body medicine expert Herbert Benson, M.D., author of The Relaxation Response, has found that regular prayer or the repetition of spiritual phrases such as "Shalom," or "Hail Mary," triggers relaxation and reduces stress.
There are many effective ways to pray, both for yourself and for others. Many people find great benefit using the prayers from their religious upbringing.
Others make prayer a time of personal conversation with God, stating their need or concern and asking for divine intervention. Others find talking a walk in a place of natural beauty to be a form of prayerful worship.
Simply taking the time to acknowledge all you have to be grateful for and giving thanks can be effective as well. Choose the form of prayer that feels most comfortable for you, then establish a regular routine of repeating your prayers daily.
