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

Some is Better than None

In previous blogs I shared about the Callanetics routine that I do at least 5 days a week – shooting for 6.   And during a nagging joint pain period of time, (also a time when I had slacked on the Callanetics), I added the special exercises from a Thai massage person who was helping identify

Peppermint – Not Just Your Ordinary Candy

What comes to mind when you hear “peppermint”?  Candy canes? (okay, we are still close to Christmas)  Type of chewing gum?  Peppermint patty? I suspect we have all underrated the value of pure “peppermint”.  I have, and I took courses in the essential oils plus have the definitive “book” on foundational aromatherapy.  Just needed a

Forever Chemicals

“ ‘Forever chemicals’ are in the products we use, food we eat, and water we drink.” A quote from Kevin Loria in his article for Consumer Reports titled “How to Avoid PFAS”.   So – who cares?  And what the heck is a PFAS?  Never heard of this – can’t they just leave us alone? Unfortunately,

WHAT?  COLD & FLU SEASON AGAIN?

Just about a year ago, I did a blog on my “GoTo” kit because a ‘Super cold’ was going around – it was not COVID or the flu.  In fact, I had been at a retreat in the mountains and more than one person was either experiencing it or just recently had it or felt

Consistency Conquers Incontinence

How often do you hear someone say they didn’t want to drink anything on the plane, or in the last hours before bedtime, or other occasions, “because I don’t want to have to go to the bathroom” on the plane, in the night, on a long car ride…or whatever? Did you know – “dehydration is

Essential to Health

When did you first realize that nutrition is essential to health? I didn’t really put the two together until 2014 when I was in my late 60’s.  And if it was in the “news” before, I guess I just missed it or didn’t pay much attention.  Not on my radar. Sure, I grew up with

ADULTS NEED TO PLAY

“As adults, many of us envy how easy it is for kids to have fun and find joy in almost anything they do.  But the truth is, we ourselves have the same opportunities that kids do to enjoy every day.”   This lead line in Rocio Ramos’ blog caught my eye. (She posts on the Youngevity
