Uncategorized

To forgive does not necessarily mean to forget. To forgive does not mean that all can go back to the way things were before the negative event. Forgiveness is a means of letting go. For me, I have carried a lot of emotional weight for many years. I judged myself. I couldn't accept myself for the person I was when I was younger.

I clung to all of these negative things, until they became a safety blanket, this was an unhealthy safety blanket that caused me to continue to make similar mistakes and not let go of the past. Some months ago during a yoga session at home, I...

Once your thyroid is under control by your doctor, your hair loss should improve. Iron-Deficiency Anemia: Iron  helps to provide oxygen to your body. You may have low iron heavy...

Do you have diabetes, pre-diabetes, or insulin resistance?  One of the simplest additions to your diet that may help is cinnamon. Several placebo-controlled trials have demonstrated that cinnamon can help to increase glucose metabolism (how efficiently the body processes sugars) and reduce fasting plasma glucose concentration. Cinnamon can slow the emptying of the stomach after eating, thus helping to control postprandial spikes in blood sugar.  Cinnamon may also help to lower triglycerides (likely because of the positive effect on blood sugar levels), and prevent the formation of damaging oxygen radicals in the blood. So what’s so special about cinnamon? This common and tasty spice contains a type of flavonoid called methylhydroxy chalcone polymer (MHCP), which seems to be responsible for its effects on blood sugar.  To get the benefits of cinnamon,...
