Live better .. Live Longer

I have worked as an Rn for 30 years . Here’s a couple things I’ve learned I think every one should consider.

1. Most heart attacks and strokes happen in the morning, (mostly on Saturday and Monday mornings) because people are dehydrated and their blood is thicker. Keep water or my favorite… watered down orange juice by the bed (the glucose helps, along with the sodium.. potasium). Also try drinking watered down juices .. straight juice plays havoc with your insulin levels.
A good idea drink a little before you get out of bed.

2. Which brings me to Blood glucose.. It’s a problem for a lot of people. Recent studies indicate the arsenic levels in our water are killing our pancreas (no pancreas no insulin, you get fat ,your blood gets thick with glucose..like jelly and you die).The solution ?reverse osmosis… not all filters get the arsenic levels out so make sure you get one that works.. google it. Also peanuts a great low glycemic index food ..evens out the glucose levels.
Also peanuts and bananas are high in lithium and can even out your moods a little.

more later.. live long and prosper

Steve love that picture.. the first TV show I saw in color ( yes children TV used to be in varying shades of gray in pre civil war days) was Star Trek.. Saw Leonard Nimoy on broadway and that man can really act. Anyway more simple ideas on how to Live Longer.. Better.. Healthier..

3. DHEA—is a natural substance in your body that diminishes as you grow older. It is a precurser to 50 different hormones. Some docs say it helps you live longer. I’ve been using this stuff for years for the following reasons. Improves muscle mass,I think cause it stimulates testosterone production.(I don’t exercise.. I need as much help as possible) Testosterone is also the hormone that governs the libido. If you want to spice things up a bit..old people check it out. Also helps with accelerated healing. Dosage? most bottles say 25mg in the morning.. I use half that because my testosterone levels get too high and I start to get bossy. If you use it ,experiment with the dosage. Also a French study indicates that DHEA restores the pulmonary artery of smokers to a nonsmoker condition. Good stuff.

4.Glucosamine… this stuff really works. I have a friend an osteopath he loves this stuff. My suggestion.. triple the indicated dose for two to three weeks and then back off to a regular dose.Think of this stuff as if it were a warm glue that softens, builds, and melts joints, tendons ligaments. it helps to do a nice deep massage in those areas where you have pain in the first few weeks. try it you’ll like it. Works great with DHEA cause DHEA stimulates growth hormone production.(also get enough protein to rebuild the tissue.
Lots of Vitamin C helps in the healing process.

Just a note ..on these thoughts.. research it for yourself.. don’t take my word for it.. experiment..the truth isn’t always easy to find..and it might be different for you.

6.Anti Depressants—The new serotonin drugs are good.. If you are using high doses of alcohol, dope, or cigarettes(that stuff will kill you) to help with your mood check out Lexapro, or another SRRI. google it. I use a really low level of Celexa( a cheap version of Lexapro) Play with the dosage.. I kept thinking It wasn’t working til I cut the lowest dose in half. Just a little help with the brain, Why I like it? enhances my senses a little.. evens out my moods, makes me a little happier. Serotonin decreases as you get older.. You don’t have to be grouchy.
check it out.. you might like it

7. Finally a mental health thought: I’ve worked a lot with the mentally ill.. here’s a little secret I figured out for my self..The more you give the more you get. With all the economic concerns people are a little jacked, My solution.. give of yourself to someone you dig.. forget about money just give something for free, a massage, something you don’t use anymore, what ever. I recently took up structural integration an advanced massage process.(one of the greatest healing modalities ever invented).google it .. and I made up my mind to help people with it.. one lady I worked on was in pain for 10 years after a car wreck.. she’s pain free now,  I feel so damn proud of myself.. Start giving a little, it works, give it free. Create value.
