Remember the BRAT?

I recently had a bout with a gastrointestinal issue that had me searching my memory for what would be best for me to eat or drink during this time. Although my mom never referred to it as BRAT, I knew she would give us bananas, (she skipped rice), applesauce and toast and nothing very heavy

Did We Know?  1936?

In working to address a hip issue, my primary care doctor has sent me to physical therapy after an x-ray to evaluate structural causes.  On the same day I was to start P.T., I realized something else that might be an underlying problem – insufficient dosage of nutrition minerals. About a year ago, in working

Cholesterol – Friend or Foe?

I just finished my annual physical.  Yes, the cholesterol numbers are one of the first areas my doctor, and others, reference when looking at the big picture of health. Controversial?  You bet.  I have heard everything from the fear of high cholesterol numbers to those who say driving cholesterol out of the body has caused

Your Body Speaks

My blog rotates between the topical focus of HEART (photos & memories), BODY (physical) and SOUL (spiritual).  It is based on Deuteronomy 6:5 “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.”  Because we are multi-faceted beings, each area is of importance to us.  And

Your Body’s Glue

Glue?  Seriously?  Yes, I have done a few blogs on this topic and it is time to revisit (and remind ourselves about) our all-important “glue” – collagen. You hear a lot more about it these days than even 3 years ago when I was blogging about it.   Collagen is found throughout our body.  It’s a

Stress –  Good or Bad?

Is stress good or bad? OK, you are going to get the “lawyer” answer here – “it depends”! Probably the most common words you hear when someone is talking about stress are negative words – stress is something to be avoided.   But truth be told, it is a natural and expected part of daily life

Motion is Lotion

I was recently with a friend whose mother is 90 years old, still drives, is active and is mentally sharp.  Her mother’s favorite saying about activity is “motion is lotion”.  I loved that!   And I so agreed with her as I had recently discovered some back & hip pain relief exercises that were really helping

What’s So Sweet About Honey

Sweet!  A word used in the U.S. to show that you approve of something.  Like saying “cool”.   Both of which approval words my grandkids say are not used any more.  Sorry, I still like to use them. So this week as I learned about the medicinal qualities of honey, I gave it my full approval

Antibiotics:  Nature’s Way

When I think of antibiotics, I think of the ones you get with a prescription.  They are lab-synthesized, chemically-based and specifically target bacteria.  And in my experience, can have some really unwanted side effects.   I can’t tell you how many years it has been since I have had an antibiotic.  And if a doctor wants
