The Opposite of Fight or Flight

Uncategorized
Your body doesn’t feel good when the biochemistry of stress kicks in. You might feel like there is a brick in your stomach, or maybe you can’t sleep and your heart is pounding. Maybe you feel overwhelmed and distracted. Stress isn’t supposed to feel good. It’s there to help you survive threats like an oncoming car or menacing stranger. That clammy-hands, heart-pounding response is your body’s way of preparing you to deal. This is called the fight-or-flight response and comes from your sympathetic nervous system releasing hormones to help increase your chances of surviving the emergency at hand. The fight-or-flight response causes your breathing to increase, your heart to beat faster, your muscles to tense and your pupils to dilate—all as a way for you to be ready to run from or face ...

Uncategorized
'This is getting into human chromosomes' biggersmallerPrint How safe are COVID-19 vaccines? Should everyone be taking them? Are people who get vaccines more likely to get COVID-19?

Mental Health Risks Linked to High Fructose Corn Syrup

Uncategorized
Mental Health Risks Linked to High Fructose Corn Syrup If you’re like most people, you’re aware of the prevalence of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) in the food supply and the ongoing concerns about its health effects, such as its contribution to obesity. Since 1980, soft drink producers have favored HFCS over real sugar from cane or beets as a sweetener (although “Mexican Coke” made with cane sugar is still available in some stores, labeled “Refresco” and “Hecho en México”). Food processors have followed suit, and today, HFCS is found in thousands of products, including fast-food offerings, bread and baked goods, tomato-based sauces, breakfast cereal, fruit drinks, salad dressings, yogurt, canned soups, candy, and even medications. Why has HFCS supplanted sugar (sucrose...

On Being Brave

Uncategorized
When my kids were growing up and in elementary school, I never put their names that would show on the outside. The reason was so no one could call out their name unless they actually knew them. We also had also established a secret word, so if for some reason I could not pick them up, the person who did would know the secret word. When my children were little, I read a story in a magazine that stopped my heart. A mom had sent her daughter to the corner grocery store to buy some bread and milk. Her daughter was walking home with the purchases when a stranger in a car pulled to the curb beside her. He smiled at the girl, used her name—which he had overheard the clerk use at the store—and told her to get in the car. The girl, who was 10 or 11, was confused. She knew better than to get ...

Broken Dreams

Uncategorized
The following poem has been hanging on my wall either in my office or the room I have designated in my home. It was given to me some 30 plus years ago by a woman I love dearly, whom I talk about frequently, Sister Carol. It was given as a reminder that when I ask God for something I remain open to how that would be coming to me, it rarely comes the way I suspect it would become. It’s like when I go to the grocery store looking for something and it isn’t where logically it should be….and I say something to the person helping me locate it and they shake their heads and usually say something like….” you know every time we get a new manager everything moves around and we suspect it is so their wives can find it…” however I digress….

For Women, a Little Belly Fat Is a Good Thing

Uncategorized
For those women who have been lusting after flatter and flatter tummies for all their lives, it’s time to relax and love the healthy, strong body you have. It turns out, having ultra-flat, washboard abs may look great in a bikini, but they actually may not be the healthiest thing for your body. That little pooch below your belly button is completely natural—and good.That little fat on your stomach actually supports healthy estrogen production.

That’s the bare minimum we need to make life possible. Compare that to men’s 2-4 percent and you’ll start to realize how important body fat is for women.
