Brush and floss regularly. Research indicates that oral problems can be a symptom of other diseases, such as diabetes. The keyword here is 'symptom'. Research has linked gum disease to heart disease, diabetes, premature birth and even arthritis." The mouth is a portal into the rest of the body." ~Dr. Donald Ratcliffe

The job of chronic inflammation is to cause tissue damage or even to the kill tissue. This is why you must address inflammation at the onset. Inflammation is the bodies 'natural response' to heal, not kill. As with everything, too much of a Good thing, isn't. After exercise, one tool for accelerated recovery is to use cold water therapy after your workout to help clear inflammatory biological (cellular) markers. Cold water or ice also lowers inflammation and facilitates muscle repair.

Clear your refrigerator of too many reminders that could end up causing you confusion. Replace the pictures and messages with healthy mottos and pictures that promote Good health. And if you prefer a perfectly clean refrigerator (like me) free of pictures and messages, then take the time to wash it down and clean the top.

Address the financial elephant in the room. If there is a bill that has been nothing but a pain in your side, then address it today. Pick up the phone and call the person who may have ideas on how to lower or alleviate the payment. If you need to sell something (car or house) start doing your research.

The minute you feel yourself go into a funk or lazy mode, call yourself out on it and then get up and do the task. Make yourself reflexive to action rather than procrastinate to action. I will typically always volunteer to run downstairs to get something because it makes me get up and go. I like that 'get up and go' feeling. It makes me happy and perky. I think it will do the same for you.

Design a new route in your mind when you go to the grocery store. Shop the entire perimeter first because that is where the 'real food' is located. Boxed, packaged, refined, baked and processed food (fake food or man-made food) is in the aisles.

Choose two (2) of the 'Vitamin D' foods below
and incorporate them into your diet today.

DESCRIPTION: The best way to get Vitamin D is through exposure to sunlight. Our ability to manufacture Vitamin D from sunlight decreases with age. Deficiencies of Vitamin D can interfer with the utilization of calcium and phosphorus in bone and tooth formation. It can cause irritability and weakness. When severe deficiencies are apparent, Rickets may be common especially in young children, which is Osteomalacia in adults. Vitamin D is soluble in fats and organic solvents. It is relatively stable under refrigeration and it can be stored in the liver. Vitamin D is often associated with Vitamin A. Important in treating osteoporosis, rickets and hypocalcemia while also enhancing the immune system.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS: It helps to support healthy bones and calcium and phosphorus absorption from the intestinal tract. Helps to cure rickets. Supports healthy vision. Helps produce blood plasma and regulates the metabolism of minerals. It helps to stabilize heart action and the nervous system. Aids in the normal clotting of blood.

FOOD SOURCES: Alfalfa and their sprouts, avocado, bee pollen, butter, carrots, chickweed, comfrey, cod liver oil, dairy products fortified with Vitamine D, egg yolk, fish liver oils, fish having fat distributed throughout its flesh, garlic, halibut, herring, leafy greens, lemongrass, liver, mackerel, marshmellow root, milk, mushrooms, oatmeal, oysters, salmon, sardines, seeds, sunflower seeds, sweet potato, tuna, vegetable oil and yeast.

Best source is the sunlight (20 minutes a day).
