Exercise is critically important for your health. The nature of the human body is to be active and moving all day. Ideally you should get 10 minutes of movement for every hour that you sit. And it is best to sit for only 3 hours per day. Where should you start? You must consider your current level of condition. If you can, begin by walking every day for 10 minutes, and work up to a 2 hour walk at least a couple of days per week. If you cannot walk, or cannot go for 10 minutes, likely it is best to seek professional help to get started. You can...

FOCUS ON VIBRANT HEALTH Have you missed getting your weekly health information? I’m traveling this summer, so it may be inconsistent. Have you made some healthier choices from the things you have learned? Here’s a mini review. Eat more meat, butter and eggs and produce from your garden, and less processed foods. Avoid plastics whenever possible, and use more natural cleaning products. Use a land line instead of a cell phone, and hard wire your devices (best) or turn off your WiFi at night. Sleep is another aspect of your health that is critical...
Are you treating your cell phone with more respect? This is critical if you want to regain vibrant health. There are natural electromagnetic fields (EMFs) generated by the earth, the atmosphere and the sun. The body uses these natural fields for biological functions and cellular communication. These natural EMFs are interrupted, blocked and drowned out by man-made EMFs. What can you do? Reconnect with the natural EMFs that your body depends on to function properly. A simple way is to go bare foot on the earth. Choose a place that does not have...
Have you given up your toxic plastic water bottles yet? Another very effective action is to use unscented laundry detergent and avoid the dryer sheets. Laundry perfume is not very attractive and is definitely toxic. The second big toxin category is man-made electromagnetic fields (EMFs). There are four main types. Electric fields exposure comes from your house wiring, smart meter, electric blanket and corded appliances. Magnetic fields are present with power lines, wiring errors in your house, electric clocks, and motors (think refrigerator)....

The next major factor that affects your health is the toxins that you are exposed to. Over 800 chemicals can be found in your body, and these have known health effects on your biology. They...
May is Mental Health Month and as times have changed, mental health has become a number one concern in today’s society. For a lot of us, mental health was something that just was not discussed back in our day. Most certainly people had issues then too. Yet, it seems mental health has had a negative connotation leaving many afraid to seek help and for some resulted in some type of destructive behavior or ended in tragedy. We wonder why mental health has been placed on the back burner. Perhaps it’s because of the manner in how these types of iss...

Light from man-made sources does not match sunlight. It gives your body incorrect information from your environment and affects your biological functions. Avoid artificial light before sunrise and after dark. Most people work in environments where they are exposed to artificial light during the day. If possible, avoid fluorescent and LED lights, and use incandescent light bulbs instead. These are closer to natural light. And get outside for at least a few minutes throughout the day. Until you have seen the sunrise and given your circadian...
