Keeping Warm on Your Early Morning Runs

If you like to powerwalk or run in the morning like I do, I've got a tip to help you stay warm this winter.

Try a teaspoon of cayenne in water before you head out the door. If you've never tried cayenne, do start with a small amount. I put a rounded teaspoon of it in water in a glass jar, shake it up and drink (on an empty stomach so it moves quickly throughout my system). It will warm you up and keep you moving. Cayenne is good for alot of reasons - it stimulates circulation and you'll probably discover its cleansing action as it brings mucus to your mouth and you start spitting. OK, that's kind of gross, but better out than in!!

Becoming Disease-Proof

Yikes! Another form of staph infection and it’s drug resistant. This one called is Mersa (short for MRSA which stands for methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus). This is a fast-acting bacterial infection, one of many we are now commonly seeing. Why? Researchers believe one reason is the overuse of anti-biotics. When you add poor health, environmental toxins, impure water, unmanaged stress, lack of sleep and a few other wild cards to the mix, you have a recipe for disease.

Before you decide it’s time to nail the door shut forever, consider this:

You can disease-proof yourself.

If you are already ill, you can heal yourself.


If you’ve never heard this before, it may sound too good to be true. Rest assured, it is true. I challenge you to prove it to yourself. How? Learn how to take excellent care of yourself. Find out what you can eat and drink and do to build dynamic health. Seek out a highly skilled and experienced natural health teacher/counselor to guide you. When you learn how to care for yourself, the knowledge will be yours for a lifetime.

When you have this kind of energy and vitality, there is nothing that can touch you. I’m not kidding.

Healthy Teeth for a Lifetime

Healthy teeth are a great asset and can help you live a long and healthy life.

Interestingly enough, our teeth can reflect our physical health. Gum disease, tooth decay and other oral infections are related to many conditions as diverse as heart disease and skin rashes.

There is no substitute for good food and water – they’re essential for overall health. Beyond that, here are a few simple things you can do to help your mouth cleanse and heal.

1. Eat lots of fresh, organic greens. Chew thoroughly, allowing the food to become liquid and your mouth to soak in the organic vitamins and minerals.

2. Consider oil pulling with unrefined, virgin coconut oil. Oil pulling is a technique that comes to us from Ayurvedic medicine and many have experienced miraculous results. (For details on oil pulling, you can google it or go to http://www.earthclinic.com/ for more information.) Coconut oil is my first choice for this as it is pleasant tasting, antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic.

3. Avoid eating between meals – particular sticky and sweet foods that cling to teeth and encourage bacteria to proliferate.

4. Consider rinsing your mouth with water and sea salt when you are not able to brush (like after snacking or eating on the run). Sea salt contains trace minerals and also has antiseptic qualities.

Your teeth are meant to last a lifetime and with a little maintenance, they will serve you well.

Taking Care of Yourself

There has never been a more important time to take care of yourself than right now. What you do for yourself everyday makes a difference. The intention you put forward to care for yourself is always rewarded. And make no mistake: there is no selfishness in caring for yourself. The stronger you are – the more you have to offer others.

Your body always wants to move in the direction of health. Symptoms are your body’s way of communicating to you. Even if you get off track, you can tune back in to your own inner knowing. Get quiet. Relax. Trust your gut. Your body could be asking you to change your diet, get exercise, seek out more knowledge – whatever the call – take the inspired action.
