What is CBD?

What is CBD is an excellent question that needs to be explained due to the fact that most people like myself have never heard of this animal.  CBD ( Cannabidiol)  is a cannabis compound that has significant medical benefits which makes it an appealing option for many patients, including cancer patients. I have recently been introduced to CBD myself by an online networker and he got my attention straight away when he told me he was taking it for his prostate cancer.  I believe he is using the cannabidiol Hemp oil for his treatment.  Most of us know someone who either had cancer, has it or will get it and some of these folks will be told that they only have so many months or years to live.  No one wants to hear this kind of disturbing news, but it happens.  If this is true and we know it is, then shouldn't they know about this treatment that might be able to save their lives or at least extend it? CBD hemp oil is made from  high-CBD, low-THC hemp , unlike medical marijuana

Why Protein?

Why Do You Need Protein? Did you know that the basic building block of all muscle is protein? Did you also know that you can begin to lose about 1% of your muscle mass each year beginning at age 35? Aging is a process you cannot overcome, but you might just be able to slow it down a bit. As you age, protein becomes important for more reasons than building your biceps. It becomes very important for your overall health. You can't keep or build muscle without protein. I drink a protein shake daily that gives my muscles what they need. How about you? How Does Protein Work? If you are not aware of this, exercise creates microscopic tears in muscle fibers. Protein contains amino aids that your body uses to repair and strengthen those muscles by properly replenishing them during and after workouts. This means that your recovery time decreases and you feel less fatigue. Fiber aids in digestive comfort while fast-absorbing dairy proteins give your body the post-workout n

How Good is Your Health?

Your health is more valuable than anything you will ever own on this planet called earth.  It was given to you by a Creator who cares very much about you and your well-being.  So what are you doing to keep yourself in good health? Are you at all concerned about your cholesterol, blood pressure, blood fat, heart rate, glucose levels, C-reactive protein (heart health) or inflammation?  Most people don't get concerned until they visit their doctor and they tell them that one or more of these are out of whack.  You know that once your health is compromised it could be the difference between life or death. A study called the Freiburg Study was conducted with 48 healthy human subjects of various ages.  To be included in the study, participants were evaluated on their cholesterol measurements, triglycerides, blood pressure, blood sugar and weight.  As with the general population, many exhibited the characteristics of metabolic syndrome - meaning their numbers were elevated but s

Why Broccoli?

First of all,  It is a very  good  source of dietary fiber, pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, vitamin E, manganese, phosphorus, choline, vitamin B1, vitamin A (in the form of carotenoids), potassium and copper.  Broccoli  is also a  good  source of vitamin B1, magnesium, omega-3 fatty acids, protein, zinc, calcium, iron, niacin and selenium. So the question would be asked, "Is this food item good for my body?"   It's important to note that  broccoli  is best when eaten raw, because cooking and processing destroys some of its antioxidants. It has twice the vitamin C of an orange, almost as much calcium as whole milk (with a better rate of absorption), and contains anti-cancer and anti-viral properties with its selenium content.  "Is it bad to eat a lot of broccoli?"    In general,  broccoli  is  safe to eat , and any side effects are not serious. The most common side effect is gas or bowel irritation, caused by  broccoli's  high amounts of fiber. Brocco

Could YOU Be a Germophobe?

Okay, I believe it is smart to say that most people want to stay away from nasty germs, but can we?  Absolutely not!  Why?  Because germs can't be seen by the naked eye and if they could be, we would never go anywhere or do anything, thus being defined as a germophobe. A germophobe is a person  with an extreme fear of germs and an obsession with cleanliness.  Have you ever met anyone that fits this description?  Well I have and it's not a pretty sight!  I must say that I am thankful everyday that the person I married is not a clean freak and neither am I.  Does this mean we are the opposite?  Of course not!  One can be clean without being excessive.  Don't you think? A germophobe might make a statement like this,  ‘I'm not a germophobe, but everyone knows that hotel remote controls are never cleaned and are probably filthy.’  How about this one, 'OK, I'll   admit that I am a bit of a germophobe, but is it really necessary for people to lick their finge

Knowing & Thinking - Two Completely Different Animals

Knowing and thinking are truly two completely different animals.  Knowing is surety, while thinking is guessing.  Would you rather know something for sure or would you rather rely on guess work? Most of us want a sound or firm foundation when it comes to making decisions for our lives, especially if these decisions involve other individuals like our family.  To know something gives it validity and substance.  For example, if you are a doctor and you need to perform a certain operation, it is better that you can tell the patient beforehand that you know what you are going to do vice I will think what to do once I open you up. See the difference between knowing and thinking?  Knowing brings confidence into the equation by the doctor and peace of mind to the patient. As network marketers we want to know, not think, which opportunities are good or bad for those we are helping.  Too many of us have already found out the hard way by thinking and not knowing and this mistake has cost us some

There's Always A Catch!

Why is there always a "catch" to most ad offers we click on?  When someone says "free", why can't it be free without the "catch"?  What I mean is, when we read a post and the offer says free but when we go to the website and it says free trial for 30 days, why not post it that way instead of giving the reader the deception that it is truly free?  Of course we shouldn't be so naive, but people should be more honest in their advertising as well.  I would probably look at a free trial if the product being offered has substance and value for me.  Wouldn't you? If you are up front with me, you will gain a whole lot more respect and trust from me, than if you are being deceptive.  Honesty is still the best policy and if we continue to act in that manner, we will see more positive results with our businesses. Please forgive me if it seems like I'm going off on a tangent here but right is right and wrong is wrong.  Why waste someone'
