Conclusions: Replacing carbohydrates in a high-carbohydrate meal with avocado-derived fat-fiber combination increased feelings of satiety mediated primarily by PYY [peptide YY] vs. insulin. These findings may have important implications for addressing appetite management and metabolic concerns.

How important is our health? It might be the single most valuable thing we have. And the one thing that we have control over. Family, friends, security – they are also extremely important, but you cannot enjoy them unless you are in good health, right?
But for many of us we know we could:
Feel healthier
More energized
More focused
And be ready for anything!
What is a “reset” anyhow?
A reset is just what it sounds like – taking the time to change up your system to start living healthier. A good way is to start is with a “cleanse”.
What is a “cleanse” anyway?
Funny true story: I was asking my doctor about her advice on cleanses. She immediately thought of a colon cleanse. Yikes! So I had to explain in a bit more detail.
Basically, it is taking some time away from your current diet and giving your system a chance to “reset”. The typical format is to limit your diet to fruits and vegetables for a few days. Is it easy? Probably not. Is it worth it? Probably so.
With our busy schedules this can be a difficult thing to do.
But giving yourself a chance to improve your health is probably worth the
effort, right?
But a “cleanse” is only the first step. It can be the change
you need to start eating a healthier diet.
Maybe you want to lose some weight. Have more energy. Improve your focus. You will want to use this opportunity to get on the right track with your health!
And let’s face it, if you just go back to fast food after the “cleanse”, you are going to be missing out on the chance to make a real difference in your life.
Your best chance for real success in “resetting” your health
is to continue your change with a proven program that has helped others do just
the same.
Join Our Next Cleanse Coaching Class
Starting each week we will be begin our next 7-day Cleanse Class with free coaching. Don’t fear going it alone. Join us to get daily reminders and a place to talk to others. And get your friends to come along too!
Sign up here and I will be emailing you all of the details.
It is a complete program with a 7-day “cleanse” and then a
follow up program of healthy nutrition.
I work with a company that has just launched a 30-day challenge program. I know their products work because I have used their program to lose over 40 lbs. myself!
More Information
If you would like to know more – send me a message and we can talk. I always like connecting. After all this is “social” media, right?
Sound like something you are up for?
It is never too early or late in life to make a difference
in your health. One of my favorite sayings is: “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is right now.”
P.S. And the best part is that the 30-day challenge program is guaranteed – if you don’t feel a difference in 30 days you can get all your money back. Even after completing the program.
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society Research Summary
For older adults, fainting and falls are serious health concerns. They can lead to injury, hospitalization, and other severe consequences. Having certain chronic conditions, as well as taking certain medications, can raise your risk of experiencing falls and fall-related injuries.
One condition that contributes to fainting and falls is atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation occurs when the upper (atrial) part of your heart contracts rapidly and irregularly (fibrillates)…

As a senior citizen, I am deluged with scam requests to fix my Apple computer (I don’t have one), unblock my Social Security checks (they are fine), and deal with my failure to pay appropriate taxes (I do).
Now I’m the target of sellers of functional foods? Apparently so, says this video.
Functional foods, please recall, are those formulated with added nutrients or other components said to improve health in some way. You can think of them as dietary supplements added to foods.

Although I’ve managed to get plenty of protein from whole foods for the past few years, I’ve always acknowledged that for certain people — people who want to add muscle, try to hit macronutrient levels, or just want some peace of mind — supplementing makes more sense.
But if you take protein powder yourself, there’s one question you should most definitely know the answer to:
What’s in your protein powder?
I started looking more closely at protein powders a few months ago, for my kids’ sake. They’re …
