PRIDEMONTH…..Why???

Now remember when you click on this button you truly wanted to read my thoughts so if you don’t like my thoughts then as they use to say…..”turn the channel” in this case “unclick the button”…. I picked up a magazine from a local store the other day, one that I like to preview for the recipes and catering layouts. I use to cater and still do on occasion so I always am interested in different ways of not only preparing food also in presenting the food. As I finished the magazine I closed it and on the back cover was PRIDEMONTH….I stared at it for a moment or two and instantly I was reminded of an article featuring Morgan Freeman who was being asked what he thought of Black History Month….his reply “if you want to stop racism….stop talking about it” then he went on to say “Why do we ha...

What I Take On A Daily Basis and Why

Just My Thoughts

What Does Linda Take On A Daily Basis…..and WhyEvery so often a client or a friend will ask me what do you take every day?Since I had major surgery in February clients are very interested in how I prepared for this coming event.My surgery was booked in December for February so I had a few months to prepare my body for thetrauma that would ensue.I really didn’t do anything more than anyone could or should do if they aren’t having emergency surgerywhich would alter the time allowed to prepare. You can always ask someone at the health food storethat usually has someone designated to the herbal section, so what I am trying to say is you don’t haveto be a Master Herbalist to put a program together all you have to do is think about what areas aregoing to be affected and build those areas.Let me ...

Long-haul symptoms mimic fibromyalgia. Here are some things that can help. Many people who have endured COVID-19 have found themselves dealing with lasting symptoms, even months after testing negative for active infection. Some of these symptoms include tiredness or fatigue, difficulty thinking or concentrating, dizziness, headaches, and joint or muscle pain. Some COVID-19 survivors also find themselves battling anxiety and depression, as well as symptoms that get worse after either physical or mental exertion.

Natural Substances to Fight a Big Belly

Viable Options Blog

That’s especially true when you consider carrying excess weight around your midsection puts you at increased risk of heart attack, raising the risk by 10 percent to 20 percent compared to carrying excess weight that’s more evenly distributed throughout your body Clinically known as central adiposity or central obesity, even people with a normal body mass index (BMI) who carried a “spare tire” were at greater risk of dying from all causes and had the worst long-term survival rates in one study. For reference, a man with excess belly fat—defined by waist-to-hip ratio—who is otherwise normal weight has twice the mortality risk of a man who is overweight or obese but does not carry the weight primarily in his midsection.[iii] What makes belly fat so dangerous? It...

Make Wise Decisions Based on Facts About COVID-19

Viable Options Blog

With all the attention on the pandemic, it’s amazing how little people still know about the novel coronavirus. COVID-19 is the disease caused by one of seven types of known human coronaviruses. Like the MERS and SARS coronaviruses, it may have evolved from a virus previously found in animals, though that theory has come under increased scrutiny of late. These other known coronaviruses cause a significant percentage of colds in adults and children, and aren’t a serious threat for otherwise healthy adults. All viruses accumulate mutations over time, and the virus which causes COVID-19 is no different. Therefore mutations, now changed, are harder to identify and control. How is COVID-19 spread? COVID-19 is mainly spread in large droplets by coughing and sneezing. ...

Fortunately the classes became a mandatory class to graduate.

Food as Medicine:

Uncategorized

Our toxic diet is feeding diseases that can't be cured with drugs that never resolve the underlying problem. Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist and professor emeritus at the University of California–San Francisco, has written a number of excellent books about health. His latest, “Metabolical: The Lure and the Lies of Processed Food, Nutrition, and Modern Medicine,” goes deep into the details of how changes in our food supply have damaged our metabolic health. The title of his book, “Metabolical,” is actually a portmanteau of the words “metabolic” and “diabolical,” which captures nicely the essence of his message. “I wrote it because nothing else has worked,” Lustig said. “Part of the problem is, this is such a complicated issue.” Lustig says with so many stakeholder...

Uncategorized, Viable Options Blog

Researchers continue to grapple with questions over value of vaccines versus natural immunity. (Our greatest gift from our Creator besides our intuition is our immune system. Building your immune system has always been priority since this COVID started last year. ) In the United States, everyone, 16 years of age and older, is now eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine. HealthCare.gov, the agency behind the Affordable Care Act, recently sent out an email announcing the “good news.” They said the new shot was “an important tool to help end the pandemic, and it’s your best protection from getting COVID-19.” But is it really the best? An alternative form of immune security hardly gets any attention, but it may have benefits that any one of the COVID shots now available under emergen...
