  Eating regular, refined sugar can cause many health problems, from gut disturbances, weakened immunity, aging, even high cholesterol levels. Its sugar that makes us fat as well worse than any other food. I've come up with some tips to help:

•Eat fruit throughout the day, in place of table sugar.

 I've been trying this for a few weeks. I'll eat fruit two to three times a day, my favorite fruit, and it helps reprogram my brain to crave it instead of candy, desserts,etc. Go on Pinterest . Look at pics of fruit, it can really get you excited when you think of fruit to use in smoothies, fruit ice cream, sorbet, fruit salads.

•Eat one serving of sugar a day planned out in advance.

 This concept works well, and you have something to look forward to. Example would be to have a small serving of ice cream, or a few cookies, slice of pie or cake. I like to do mine a few hours after dinner. Then go back later to eat fruit.

What are the benefits?

You crave sugar less. It's true, and it also helps to exercise daily, this curbs cravings as well. If you get used to going to fruit for something sweet, that is the way its supposed to be, so your body responds well to it. When I'm stuck in a sugar binge, I want more and more of it. Once you come off of that, everything stabilizes,and you crave natural sugar instead.

As far as healthy sweeteners go, avoid artificial ones, they are toxic to the body. Avoid also Agave nectar. Studies have shown it raises blood sugar levels.

Try pure honey, Raw Sugar, Organic Turbinado. There's also Palm and Coconut Sugar. Tons of options these days!

Maca For Female Hormonal Balance

Image
Maca root is a Peruvian vegetable with properties to naturally balance not just estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, but adrenals as well. I discovered it a few years back, and took three a day to see if it would help my ovulation, and menstrual migraines. It took great consistency, every day but it did work. I had to take two or three to notice a difference. Maca is also for stamina, energy, fertility, and libido. Some women have reported having tender breasts and PMS on it, so in certain woman may not work. Certified Organic, GMO-Free, Fair Trade Maca of All Varities I took it for three months, had hardly any hormonal migraines at all. Some doctors say not to take it for long period of time, because your body can build up a tolerance. Its never best to stay on an herb for more than a few months. Stop for awhile, alternate with something else. Alternatives are: Votes( chasteberry), Evening Primrose Oil, Flax Oil. These can all balance hormones. Resources: Top Fiv

Panic Attacks-A Hidden Deficiency?

Image
In May of 2016, I was having strange symptoms. For three hours, I had my arms go numb, and travel up and down tingling. This really frightened me. I couldn't fix it, didn't know what to do so by the time I staggered out into the living room to get my Mother, I was in a very bad place. I could not breathe, my left arm felt like fifty rubber bands were tied around it. I squeaked for my Mother. At first, she just kept saying that I didn't have insurance. One look though, and ran upstairs to figure something out. I could not walk at all, and still couldn't breathe. We tried going to an outpatient place, but they couldn't help me, and I kept sliding down in my chair. The nurse told me to go to the ER, and drink water in case it was a heart attack. I thought it was a heart attack, truly because I was having chest pains. My life flashed before my eyes the long drive to the hospital. A persons faith matters, and I have to say I was not really afraid of dying(I f
