If you are going to load up on sugar over the holiday season, then make certain to keep your mouth rinsed out. There is no sense in packing the sugar on your body and your teeth at the same time. Another great reason to drink more water!

We are not getting any younger. Practicing balance can help decrease the risk of falling. While standing, hold on to the back of a chair for stability and then lift one heel toward your buttocks.

An earth friendly mold cleaner is borax and water. Combine 1 cup of borax to 1 gallon of water. (1 to 16 ratio of borax to water). Borax is the alkaline archenemy of mold, which is why Borax works and why bleach doesn't work. Scrub the area with a somewhat abrasive material until mold is removed. Wipe area clean and dry the area. There is no need to completely rinse it off because borax inhibits any new mold from growing.

There is no reason on earth to carry all of your credit cards at once, along with your checkbook. Not even in an emergency would you need all of that. Carry one single credit card (if you need a back-up to your debit card) and one single check folded and tucked into a special place in your wallet. Carrying all of your cards could be revealing all of your debt and not your credit.

The company you keep is a reflection of yourself. If some individuals are not supportive or have a less than favorable influence on your Life, then it is probably time to separate yourself from their company. Also, those who are chatty about others, will be chatty about you too. Count on it! While these birds flock together then you can flap your wings and move on ... ahead! (Winky wink) If it is not possible to divorce or separate yourself from some individuals (family or co-workers), then limit your time or words when in their presence.

I take food with me more than I do not. I'm on the road a lot and I always have food with me, including protein and fiber bars. I even keep a container of protein powder and a case of water in my car as well. When traveling by plane, you bet I have food in my carry-on tote so I won't be stuck eating crackers and fast food, and I will have enough for those in my row. If you are going to be obsessing over food, then go crazy, get healthy with it and take it with you.

DESCRIPTION: Pure Encapsulations - BCAA Capsules 90's is an essential amino acid that is part of a branched chain amino acid group with leucine and valine. These three should always be taken together. It is one of several essential amino acids needed in the diet and humans cannot synthesize it from simpler metabolites. Young adults require about 20 mg of this isoleucine per day per kg (or about 8 mg per lb) of body weight. It can be degraded into simpler compounds by enzymes. In a rare, inherited disorder called maple syrup urine disease, an enzyme that is not functioning in the common pathway of isoleucine, leucine and valine causes the buildup of certain metabolites in the urine, resulting in the characteristic odor from which the disease gets its name.

POTENTIAL BENEFITS: It is needed to form of hemoglobin and regulates blood sugar levels. Therefore, if there is an imbalance, hypoglycemia could develop. It gets metabolized in the muscles and has to be taken with leucine and valine.

FOOD SOURCES: Almonds, beef, cashews, chicken, cottage cheese, eggs, fish, soy, lentils, liver, milk, and seeds.
