Yes I’m re-posting other stuff this week on the blog here since I am rushing to get the October Horizons Magazine to press on time after my head/chest cold knocked me on my butt for a week 🙂
Bear with me!
Higher Cognitive Performance with High Intake of Fruits and Veggies
Higher Cognitive Performance with High Intake of Fruits and Vegetables. Researchers have investigated the relationship between fruit and vegetable intake, plasma antioxidant micronutrient status and cognitive performance in healthy subjects aged 45 to 102 years. The study results, published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, indicate higher cognitive performance in individuals with high daily intake of fruits and vegetables. Subjects with a high daily intake (about 400 g) of fruits and vegetables had higher antioxidant levels, lower indicators of free radical-induced damage against lipids as well as better cognitive performance compared to healthy subjects of any age consuming low amounts (< 100 g/day) of fruits and vegetables. Modification of nutritional habits aimed at increasing intake of fruits and vegetables, therefore, should be encouraged to lower the prevalence of cognitive impairment. Continue reading

When I’m Healthy, I’m Never Down For Long
Leave a reply
Boy, having this head and chest cold the past few days, I’ve learned some things:
I can go down for the count in a heartbeat.
It takes a lot of energy to simply sit up, stand and move around.
The better my health is, in general, the quicker I bounce back if a bug gets me down.
The less food I have moving through my body on a daily basis, the quicker any bug can move through my system.
When I use food like I use firewood – adding to the fire only the amount of wood that is needed when it is needed – the more easily it is converted to fuel for me, and the more efficiently it burns. This fuel is what I use to feed ALL of my biological processes – everything, for all organs and body parts, so it’s important. At the campfire, you don’t pile all the firewood on at once, you add each log as the fire burns down and makes room for it. You can make 8 logs last 8 hours or you can start the fire with all 8 logs. If you stack it all up at one time, you get a big smoky mess that has no air to breathe. That makes it burn unevenly and then it’s gone in just a few hours. Same as big meals. They just clog you up and don’t leave you energy to do the long term work. The long term work of fueling the cells of your body properly, so you metabolize properly and stay healthy. Digestion isn’t just about digestion. Healthy cells also look younger. Duh. Continue reading
Vibrational Escrow, The Autistic Revolution with Abraham-Hicks
I spent Monday mostly sleeping. My head cold is now sharing space with my chest. It’s so nice of my body parts to share with each other. So instead of doing a blog post today, I am going to nap, but here are a couple of neat Abraham-Hicks videos to tide you over.
How to Quickly Access our Vibrational Escrow with Abraham-Hicks
Excerpted from the DVD “The Autistic Revolution: Children In the Time of Awakening” from Abraham-Hicks Publications. A New Paradigm In this presentation, Abraham addresses several questions about autism from parents and a behavioral scientist, and then reveals the surprising role that autistic children play at this unique time in Earth history. In doing so, Abraham gives their most complete explanation yet of their perspective on raising children, and shares their unique insight into the planetary Awakening now taking place around us.
Why do I give myself a head cold if I know I am giving it to myself?
I took a nap Saturday and woke up about 4:00pm with a sore throat and congested sinuses. At first I couldn’t be sure that it wasn’t just allergies clogging my head, and snoring that gave me the sore throat. But a few hours later, I could tell it was a headcold coming on. I’m pretty good about washing my hands frequently, especially if I’ve been to the market or post office and been handling money and mail. I immediately created a nest in the living room, next to my new Big Puffy Chair. I had my bottles of water there, packets of Emergen C and Breathe Easy Tea and Throat Coat Tea. I’d gone into my arsenal of cold remedies and read up on Tips to Treat Colds and Flu the ‘Natural’ Way and learned the importance of Juicing for the Common Cold. I began using my neti pot to irrigate my sinuses, and I made sure to not eat any mucous causing (acid) foods: meat and bread is as mucous forming as milk and cheese, although most people don’t know that. I put apples and oranges at the nest also, along with throat lozenges, a liquid decongestant/ antihistamine, boxes of kleenex and my vitamins. I had some Guaifenesin – Generic Mucinex, so if I was going down for the count, I’d be prepared.
Voice vs. Paws. Stepping Back To Observe My Life
This entire week has been a trip. I’ve been resting my paws because I’ve had a little carpal tunnel flare up. For me, being a sole business owner/operator, resting them sometimes means only 4-6 hours a day at the keyboard instead of 18. I’ve gone for several laser treatments on them, as well. The flare up won’t last long, but wow, when I’m in it, it ouches like crazy. The hands are much improved because I know how to care for them. But I have been pounding the white willow tincture (natural alternative to aspirin) this week for sure. Continue reading
We’re Becoming More Psychic. Telling What You Know
Do we tell what we see?
My friend Kandi Phillips emailed the other day, asking something I am frequently asked: What do you do if you’re not sure how to tell someone about a dream? I have been having dreams about things happening to people. I use to have these as a child but my mom put a stop to that. A relative is in a wheelchair and I dreamed about her accident before it happened as a child. It scared everyone. Do you have dreams that shake you up? Just curious how you handle these. Wonder if doing the root chakra work last night opened this back up for me?
I replied: For me, doing any kind of energy work gets the shakti going (the kundalini moving), which brings dreams. I used to think I had to tell everyone what I saw about them, that it was my duty. That it could help them prevent something. Would telling them harm them or help them? Continue reading
