I Made a New YouTube Video

Someone contacted me today, asking how I'm doing. I had not made a video in five years, so I decided today that I will start making them again. June 3rd of this year will be my ten year anniversary kicking cancer in the behind. It's a good time to share what I learned about health, wellness and life in general. I am also open to suggestions. What would you like me to talk about? 

Be well.

If that wasn’t stressful enough, my “internal plumbing” was giving me a lot of trouble. Most of my days were spent juggling work schedules and looking for bathrooms. I was tired all the time but blamed it on the fact my day started at 5 am, to make sure I got my “morning business” done before I was sitting on the 5 freeway, driving to my first job.

About six months before my “correct” diagnosis, a nurse practitioner insisted the blood was from hemorrhoids that were p...

Dr. Weil created a good breathing exercise to help remind us to slow down. I started doing it this week.        Be well   Ingebird

Eat Foods to be Healthy, Not to Lose Weight

Image
        Lately, I have been reading social media posts from friends who want to lose weight. They are posting online hoping others will leave comments as to what foods are best to achieve that. They receive plenty of suggestions. Some are good. It bothers me that our society is fixated on losing weight instead of wanting to eat healthy just for the sake of wanting to be as healthy as possible. There are plenty of businesses who make millions of dollars off those of us who believe their sales pitch. I could name them but I think we know who they are. Dieting is big business. Telling us, especially women, what we should look like and our society's definition of what beauty looks like unattainable.  All of us come in all kinds of shapes and sizes. Diversity is good. We are all beautiful. Each of us has value. Stop listening to advertisements from companies who do not care about you. They only care about making more and more money. My suggestion is to eat less proce...
