A Little Friday Humor For You!

Health Tip: Find Your Balance!


I truly believe that our body, mind, and soul provide insight on the true state of our personal health status. Fatigues, forgetfulness, unwarranted expressions of distress or anger are all signs of an imbalance. What should you do? Take exactly 60 seconds and be honest about what is disturbing you. When you find the answer then positively act on a solution. Not sure where to start? Schedule an appointment with your doctor and discuss your concerns then follow the instructions/prescriptions given. By all means do NOT underestimate the benefits of spiritual and mental health advice/treatment. Have A Healthy Day (on purpose)!

Health Tip: Get Your Mammogram!

 

Ok it's Breast Cancer Awareness Month! Let's be honest...I absolutely HATE getting the TaTas smashed. Plus the larger they are the harder they smash! I hate scheduling this and have even been one to procrastinate. Oh yea and take off my deodorant...so stinky armpits will render better results? Actually it decreases the chance of a false positive. Take a deep breath and breathe.... Now put on your big girl pretty panties and get your mammogram! Have A Healthy Day!

Health Tip!

The number one deadly symptom you should never ignore is persistent nausea. It’s a critical sign of a heart attack for women. Other key symptoms include shortness of breath or a warm feeling radiating across the chest. - Dr. Oz

Water or Coke?

 


WATER

1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated.

2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one’s metabolism as much as 30%.

4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study.

5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue.

6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 

7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. 

8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

 

COKE

1. In many states (in the USA) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident.

2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of coke and it will be gone in two days.

3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the “real thing” sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from vitreous china.

4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola.

5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. 

6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes.

7. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. It will also clean road haze from your windshield.

  

IMPORTANT INFO

1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis.
 
2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for Highly corrosive materials.

3. The distributors of coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years!

 

Now the question is, would you like a glass of water or coke?

Secretly Healthy Spinach Dip!!!!!

(Another FB Recipe Find!)
 
 
 
 
SO glad I found this! I could eat this stuff for breakfast, lunch and dinner! YUM!
 
Everyone has someone in their family who doesn’t like to eat anything they think is “healthy.” That’s why I have to be super creative with my recipes, and secretive when I use cottage cheese. Just a general trick, substituting cottage cheese for sour cream reduces that fat and adds a ton of protein to a meal. Just be sure to first blend the cottage cheese and no one will be able to tell the difference.


Lindsey’s Spinach Dip Recipe
Ingredients needed:
1 10 oz container of frozen chopped spinach – defrost and squeeze out all the juice
1-2 5 oz cans of sliced water chestnuts – dice into small pieces
1 8 oz container of 1% cottage cheese – blend with a handheld blender or in a traditional blender until smooth & creamy
 1 packet ranch dressing
 
 After completing the above tasks, mix well, eat, and enjoy! No baking or cooking needed...
