Natural Health Remedy for Hypertension

Admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:31:33 +0000

I’m was looking for a natural health remedy for hypertension for my husband because he just found out the other day that he has it. I don’t want him to take any perscriptions that give you 20 unwanted side effects so I started looking onine and here’s some that I found:

This is from http://altmedicine.about.com/cs/herbsvitaminsek/a/Hypertension_2.htm

The DASH diet includes fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy foods, beans and nuts. Sodium is limited to 2,400 mg per day.

Studies have found that the DASH diet can reduce high blood pressure within two weeks. These are the daily guidelines of the DASH diet:

7 to 8 servings of grains

4 to 5 servings of vegetables

4 to 5 servings of fruit

2 to 3 servings of low-fat or non-fat dairy

2 or less servings of meat, fish, or poultry

2 to 3 servings of fats and oils

4 to 5 servings per week of nuts, seeds, and dry beans

Less than 5 servings a week of sweets

Serving Sizes
1/2 cup cooked rice or pasta
1 slice bread
1 cup raw vegetables or fruit
1/2 cup cooked vegetables or fruit
8 oz. of milk
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 ounces cooked meat
3 ounces tofu

Sounds like I should try this and see if it works. It beats taking meds

Ionized Water

Ever heard of it? It’s supposed to give a ph balance that’s right for your body. They say that “normal” water is too acidic and that’s waht causes illness, disease, and weight gain, but if your ph balance is right these things will go away. I thought it was really interesting and I wanted to share the link with you guys, so here it is http://www.waterforlifeusa.com/

Coconut Oil

So I’ve been looking online and I’ve discovered that coconut oil is great for a lot of things including dry skin. I’ve been applying the coconut oil to my nose three to four times a day in hopes that it can help my problem. So far it feels better, it doesn’t burn any more but there’s still dry flaking skin, just not as much. Every new thing I try works for a bit then it goes back to how it was before so I”m gonna try it for at least a month to see if it’s gonna work or not….I’ll let you know

Dry Skin!!!

Admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 19:20:08 +0000

I have dry skin around my nose and it’s always bright red and it itches, burns and the skin flakes off of it all day long!! I have no idea what is causing it. Apparently I’m not the only one with the problem cause I was searching on Google and there seems to be tons of people with the same problem. Nobody has a remedy for it though….does any one know how I can fix this problem?? I’m beyond sick of it!!

Iced Tazo Green Tea Latte

Iced Tazo Green Tea Latte

Have you tried this at Starbucks? It’s not too many calories only 160 for a tall and there’s no fat. It tastes sooo good. This is a nice treat for the warming weather (depending on where you are, lol here it’s been in the high 60’s) that’s not so loaded with fat and high calories. Give it a try and let me know how you like it. Here’s a money saving tip ask for no ice then add ice when you get home other wise you only get a few drinks then it’s gone. This is not coffee for less but it’s a Iced Tazo Green Tea Latte for less!

NOT Coffee for Less!!!

I went to McDonalds this morning and I got a large hazelnut cappuccino. When the lady handed it to me I thought it was empty!! I took the lid off and looked inside and it was only three-fourths of the way full. So I’m guessing that they add one-half coffee and one-fourth foam and the other one-fourth, empty!! I was not happy that I paid $3.45 for a McDonald’s coffee and for it to be not full!! No wonder why I go to Starbucks! Dang just give me what I paid for already

Another Acne Remedy

Admin — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 19:12:54 +0000

Here’s another acne remedy, but this one is not all natural. Proactive works great!! I tried it a few years ago and it worked really well for me but it was very strong. My skn is sensitive so I would recommend you use it every other day instead of every day. You just have to try and see what works for you.

Natural Arthritis Remedy

Here is another natural arthritis remedy that I found.
Turmeric and Ginger Extract is effective in the treatment of the rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.

Glucosamine & Chondroitin -these promote joint repair and health.

I’ve actually taken the glucosamine and chondroitin for my knee and I noticed a difference after about two weeks. I was in an accident about five years ago and my knees smashed into the dashboard. After that when I would work out or go on the treadmill it really didn’t feel well so I tried these and it worked pretty well.

Coffee For Less

Did you know that you can get Starbucks coupons? I’ve been going to Starbucks for years and I never knew that I could have my coffee for less!!
Just type Starbuck coupon into Google and you can go to several different sites and print out your own coupon to use the next itme you need a Starbuck fix!

Has any of you out there tried this product? I ordered it and will take before and after pictures to show if I think it works for me. Look at Cindy she still looks the same as she did 20 years ago. I’ll put up pics every so often so you can compare them and see if there’s a change. I hope it will work for my huge pores that would be good!!
