Dr. Oz Stomach Cancer and Risk Factors

Type in Dr. Oz Jan. 5, 2012...scroll down to 'Stomach Cancer Risk Factors.'

The whole article is educational and worth reading. It mentions other foods that may heighten the risk. Too much salt in general is not good.

I love my family so much, I can't help but preach to them 'how important a healthy diet is.'

I find it to be a lonely world when it comes to being a healthaholic.

Healthaholic

I finally found my blog...I had to navigate through the system to find it. I just wanted to write. I keep a hand written journal handy for impulsive thoughts and prayers, but it feels good to tap the keyboard.

I am obsessed with health! I can't get enough knowledge on this subject. I look at my body as a machine, and when it isn't running right, my whole world crashes. If I'm not feeling well, I can't help anyone else, or enjoy life to the fullest. Without health, we are helpless.

Last night I watched Dr. Oz. The subject was Stomach Cancer. It is on the rise. He had a special guest Dr. on the show who is an expert on Stomach Cancer. She said it comes from nitrites in cured meats. People who eat a steady diet of meats with nitrites will end up with cancer. She said our body can fight off the occasional hot dog at the baseball game...but not much more of the deadly stuff.

Please visit DoctorOz.com for the proof of the pudding. The date of the session is 1/5/12 on cancer.

All the fruits and veggies God created have a purpose for our bodies. Please don't elimanate any of them. Try to incorporate them in your diet daily. We need them to rescue us from cancer cells that are lurking to strike!

So...start 2012 with a cutie in the morning, [a tiny orange that is!]and a sweet potatoe for lunch, and a salad with fresh broccoli and raisins. How about grilled salmon or organic grilled chicken with lemon...yummy!

Toast to health and feeling better then ever in 2012!

God bless,

Swimming!

One week ago this Sat. I left for Hawaii with my Kesh and Vin and my two little angels.
Being in Hawaii was a dream come true. We had the best time swimming in the ocean. I especially loved playing in the surf and sand with Co and Isla.
Swimming in the pool at the condo was great too. I realized how much I love to swim.
Today, my good friend Linny, and I went swimming, and decided we would do it regularly. So happy to be back swimming again!
Maybe I won't miss Hawaii quite as much. [Maybe.]
God bless!

SNUGGLE

I love to snuggle. It is one of my favorite things to do. Why didn't I spell it right?!!!!!!!!!!! Oh well!

Smiles!

Listen, God is Speaking

A week with my Co and Isla has ended. We were joined at the hip with only me to care for them. I couldn't love them more! Waking-up to a quiet house seems strange. I miss the snuggeling in the morning with our blankies. Precious moments, gifts from God. I know too well how fast these special gifts change. It seems only yesterday I snuggeled my own babies, and tucked them in at night with stories.

It is easy for us to get caught up in the rut of thinking 'time, moving on' is going to be better. I, especially have been thinking this way, "as soon as that is over I can begin doing this." "As soon as I get this over, I can begin doing that."
The girls and I were driving and Co asked me to turn on the radio. It was on K-Love and a woman was talking about the Now and Not the Later. It was God speaking to me.
It was all about people putting their dreams on hold thinking in time, time will settle down and they can DO WHAT THEY DREAM OF. Time will never settle down! Life will always be hectic and busy! Do not wait to do your dream, thinking all will be better in time! Instead, make every moment count. Make each day special, and live in "THE NOW."

God is always speaking to us. We just need to take time to listen.

God bless!

My Angels and Me

My little angels are fast asleep. It's nice to have the quiet time to catch up on all the blog reading I have missed. It feels good to write and think. Cohen and Isla and I have been out exploring every day. Yesterday we went to Bauman Farms, and today we played at a beautiful mountainous park.
We all need a good night's sleep, for tomorrow will be another fun day!

Nighty night. XO.
