Ask Wayne!

I use to never be able to remember to drink all eight glasses of Water a Day. 

Now I have come up with an idea that has helped me a lot.  First, I do not know about this idea that I am not suppose to refil plastic water bottles.  The idea I had was to fill up eight bottles with eight oz. of water, sit them on “My Shelf” in the refridge.  That made it easy for me to tell when I have drank all of the water I was suppose to.

Now, if the plastic bottle theory is correct, I got an idea that solved that.  I went to the store and bought eight bottles of 8 oz. “Sapple”.  I saved the empty bottles.  Now I do the same thing, as above, but I do it with the Sapple bottles.  Those bottles fit my car cup holder also, which comes in handy for I am my car a lot.  If you don’t like this idea, come up with one of your own.  But, whatever you do, be sure to drink your Water.

It just recently come to my attention that it was a good thing that I lost 15 pounds, all in my belly.(The picture is not me.)   I use to have that “Beer Belly”.(Don’t drink Beer, just eat a lot and love it!)  Now I read that having big hips(Women only) is not near as bad as having a BIG BELLY.Having a large waist size is increasingly being linked to heart disease.  Even though overweight and obesity are well-known risk factors for heart disease, if most people’s fat is around their belly rather than their hips, they are at a higher risk of heart disease and Type 2 Diabetes.  The risk goes up when waist size is larger than 35 inches for women and 40 inches for men.

I bend over at the waist every time I have an excuse.  Make up plenty excuses for yourself.  This is something you don’t want to mess around with.  Get any kind of exercise you can and get that waist down!

“I don’t like to exercise!”   Fine, then do all or some of these things:

• When you brush your teeth, bend at your needs several times.
• Purposely drop something on the floor and bend over and pick it up.
• Twist your hips every time you think of it.
• Beet on your waist every time you think of it.
• Run, even when you are on the way to the car from shopping.

Think up your on forms of Activities, if you don’t like to exercise.

BUT DO SOMETHING!

You think you love Chocolate, wait until you hear this.

Chocolate is Good for you Heart!

Yes, especially if you are up in age and are a Women.  Researchers in the Archives of Internal Medicine have found that older Women who eat Chocolate have a reduced incident of Heart Disease.

Researchers studied over a thousand women over the age of 70 for ten years.  They found those who ate Chocolate more than once, weekly, were about thirty-five percent less likely to be diagnosed with a Heart problem or die from one.   They also found that approximately sixty percent were less likely to be hospitalized or die from heart failure than those who ate less than one serving per week.

The researchers findings indicated that women who ate Chocolate daily and those who ate it weekly, experienced comparable heart health benefits.  Moor research is needed to explain the results of this Study.

CAN  VITAMIN C  REALY IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH?

  Absolutely! 

Vitamin C is definitely a very important ingredient for your Body to have good health. Your body needs this water-soluble Vitamin so your body can grow and develop normally.  Citrus fruits are high in Vitamin C.

 I was at a Garage Sale and bought a bag of Oranges. They were just a two dollars a bag. I thought this was a good buy and after all, Oranges contain Vitamin C. Everybody is always saying, “You need to put a lot of Vitamin C into your body. Those words rung in my head, so I bought the Oranges.

Why is Vitamin C good for your body?

           1.)         Development(Growth) and Cellular Repair – Vitamin C is essential for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of your body.

            2.)       Collagen Formation – Vitamin C is the basis for forming Collagen. Collagen is a protein that makes the body’s connective tissues such as blood vessels, tendons, ligaments, bone and skin.

             3.)       Your Body Needs Iron – Vitamin C improves the absorption of Iron from the food you eat.Wond Healing – Vitamin C has been proven to speed up the molecular healing process.

             4.)        Healthier Teeth and Gums – Vitamin C neutralizes the bacteria affecting your teeth and gums.

              5.)       And last but not lease, Proper Functioning of your Immune System – Vitamin C supports the immune system, including the activation of certain white blood cells.

One of the most important benefits of an adequate intake of Vitamin C is providing your body with a powerful antioxidant. The antioxidants from Vitamin C protects your body from free radicals. These damaging molecules can result from metabolism, environmental toxins and stress. Free radicals have been found to be a contributing cause of heart disease, cancer, arthritis, and inflammation. They also can accelerate aging. In addition to protecting against free radicals, Vitamin C can help extend the lifespan of other antioxidants such as Vitamins A and E.

 Other benefits from Vitamin C are controlling blood pressure, stroke risk, skin appearance, and more.   “Your body needs to consume at least five fruits and vegtables a day.” is taughted by all health professionals.  There is a product that has all natural ingredients that supplies that need and a whole lot more.   Click on the Apple(Hot air baloon) on the right side of this Blog for more information.

In other words, when you can, find you a bag of Oranges at a Garage Sale. If you can’t do that, go to the store and buy you some Orange Juice. I will share one better than that. We have been drinking “Five Alive” and it taste a lot better than Orange Juice. It is made up of different citrus juices; and, is a whole lot cheaper that Orange Juice. Try it, I guarantee that you will like.
