Top 8 Causes of Fatigue Career Moms With Diabetes and Cancer

1.  Stress
2.  Battling a Major Disease
3.  Inflammation
4.  Poor Nutrition/too much Sugar
5.  Poor Circulation
6.  Lack of Exercise/Movement
7.  Poor Breathing/short breaths
8. Toxins

Beyond the causes are the affects.  The adrenal glands are what are affected. When they become over worked due to too much sugar and insulin production, stress and more, they "burn" out; hormone imbalances, relationship stress, spouse/partner/family, family schedules i.e your children's early morning sports games/practices, practice all week, travel teams, music lessons, karate etc., your career, disease management and the emotional roller coaster rides of keeping it all together, your adrenal glands are over worked to the point of serious fatigue where in turn your can barely lift up an arm or walk. Basically you just want to sleep and maybe you do, yet you do not feel refreshed, you are still so tired.  This is your first clue to adrenal burnout.  As a diabetic and or cancer stricken career mom you have a champion to refresh your life to a normal healthy life.  Me.

Stress is the number one killer and cause of major diseases and fatigue. Sugar and all that I have mentioned above are the enemy of your adrenal glands and the fatigue you feel throughout your body when you are out of balance cooking, baking, snacking with and on too many sugary foods and more and too often. For example, not managing your sugar intake, your stress, not eating nutritious clean foods that your body requires to thrive causes obesity, diabetes, cancer and other LIFESTYLE diseases.

Toxins are everywhere. They are in the air we breathe, the water we drink and the soil our foods are grown in. They are found in every environment we are in daily; in our homes, furniture, schools, offices, stores, vehicle/factory emissions, paint, chemicals, pesticides, cleaning products, vaccines, in our FOOD, clothing, bedding carpeting, glues, marker pens, the list goes on and on.

Your body was designed for all that was listed above to be clean, not toxic and therefore you will be allergen free, fatigue free, toxin free, inflammation free and disease free.

Your goal is not to survive. It is to thrive. Think about the ways your can keep fatigue and disease out of your life and then practice ways to make sure you do.  When you come up with your ways to increase your energy in your daily life and reduce your fatigue, share them and let us know how they are going for you in the comments below.

Do you need some help with your fatigue, moving beyond diabetes and cancer to a normal healthy and happy life?  Email me at refreshyourlifenow@gmail.com or visit http://www.barbaragreenhouse.com to sign up for your free strategy Health Session.

To A Refreshing Christmas and New Years

One way to stay refreshed is to not rush about. Know that all that you wish to accomplish you will and at the right time.  Sit back and be your own muse. Play with it. Be creative. Create beauty, love, self love, joy, peace, happiness, compassion and flow with your life, your choice as to what for these last two weeks of 2014 and beyond.  Why?  Because when you do not flow through life you are out of balance, stressed and unhappy emotionally and physically. You'll be run down, tired and maybe feel sick.

My wish for you is to be your muse and to intentionally create your beautiful, peaceful, harmonious life's flow today, for the holidays and always.  Is it for you?  If you would like to share your thoughts please share in the comments below.

Within my blog is my published article titled "Sugar Coated Holiday Blues".  It may be of interest to you to read it to help you through the season of bring on all that sugar found in the numerous delectable desserts and drinks. They will definitely negatively affect a beautiful and flowing holiday season if overindulged in.

And should a bit of that stress sneak in, remember to breathe.

In health and joy,

Barbara

To Mamogram or Not To Mamogram for Breast Health

Most women are not aware that a mammogram is not the only screening tool for breast health.   A more important question than what else is there? is, have they been proven to be effective and to be better screening methods?  A quick look into the mammogram shows that there are a number of results that are false positives sending women reeling in fear, tears, so much emotion, asking why me, additional testing and so on which is also very stressful on the body.

If you have cancerous cells or tumors, pushing the breast into as flat a pancake that it can be, can and has dislodged and spread cancer cells which is surely counterproductive to the screening and the results. Plus these cells may be so small they go undetected.

Breast Thermography

The use of Digital Infrared Imaging is based on the principle that metabolic activity and vascular circulation in both pre-cancerous and cancerous tissue and the area surrounding a developing breast cancer is almost always higher than in normal breast
tissue.  Click the above link to read more and for text source. This is one method for early detection.

Breast MRI Screening

What is deemed by many to be the best method for breast cancer screening for early screening or re-screening detection. A drawback to this method is the cost. You're worth it, right!

MRI's are good at finding, pinpointing, they can show if a tumor is cancerous or benign.  They can show soft tissue areas not viewable in mammograms and can also be used to look for signs that cancer may have metastasized from where it started to another part of the body. A once and done approach to breast cancer screening you might say.

MRI images can also help your doctor plan treatment.

Special MRI machines, now available in some hospitals, are designed just for looking inside the breast.  This is called an MRI with dedicated breast coils.

Researching further on your part will enlighten you more allowing you to make an informed decision in your breast health care and have a true sense of peace of mind.

My usual top tips for optimal health are to:







1 breathe deeply to keep your stress low
2 drink half your weight in water, build up to it
3 make simple green juice start at 8 oz build to 96
4 eliminate all white foods, they convert to sugar;
cancer thrives on sugar.

If you have breast or any form of cancer, green juices cleanse and detox your liver and body, (you may pee alot), they feed your cells with the vital nutrition they need within 15 minutes, especially for your mitocondria, your power generators, that create your energy through metabolism. Thank them for your energy boosts. This is why clean nutrient dense juices are vital allowing the nutrients to move across the cell wall.

Do you have delicious healthy juice recipes you'd like to share? Please add them in the comments below.  New juicers will be grateful to receive some easy, tasty juices to start juicing.

5 Warming Spices for Fall and Winter

This week saw the fall foliage come out in all of it's glory.  The colors painted a vibrant landscape for all to see in New England, Connecticut specifically for me.

When I think of and see these beautiful colors I am reminded of the warming spices of Fall I love to provide the warm inner glow.

Today's post provides 5 spices that will warm your body and your soul with flavor and warmth. Another big plus is they help to keep your blood moving.

1.  Cinnamon derived from tree bark is wonderful on it's own or in a spice blend for tea, in smoothies and in fall desserts.  It is medicinal in that it assists with blood sugar levels.  Ceylon cinnamon is a higher grade of cinnamon and can be found online.  photo credit: bestsuperfoods.wordpress.com

2.  Cardamon is either the whole seeds or the ground pods that contain the seeds from plants found in south east Asia in the ginger family. It has a strong flavor and aroma of mint and lemon.

3.  Ginger is a tuberous pungent root that is quite warming used in tea, juicing, smoothies, grated into desserts, salads and more.  Medicinally, ginger, along with our next spice, helps to rid your microbiome, the billions of beneficial bacteria's home in your stomach, of parasites.

4. Garlic enhances the flavor and is quite warming to your body as well in a large variety of recipes from Italian to Asai cooking, seafood dishes and this may surprise you in hot tea with ginger, honey and lemon.

5.  Nutmeg by itself or with cinnamon is our last warming spice on the list.  Nutmeg is ground from  the hard seed of the Nutmeg tree.  It's use is well known in fall pies, cider, egg nog, cookies and more recipes and to spike the flavor of dark leafy greens, tea and smoothies.

What is your favorite spice to feel cozy and warm during the cooler fall and colder winter months? Let us know which one and how you use it in the comments section found at the end of this post.  photo credit: www.peacefuldumpling.com


Diabetes is a lifestyle dis-ease for all types. Genetics can play a part yet it has been proven genetics can be reversed/overcome with regards to disease.

Only a diabetic knows what it's like to have to check your sugar readings continually day in and day out, make sure you eat correctly to not pass out, deal with pain, all of the doctors appointments, paraphernalia purchases and usage, especially needles, unless you have the pump, and the need to inject insulin which is set up for you to continually need to do the routine until you die.  Nutrition in many ways as it was prior to the 1970's is paramount for optimal health, energy and to stave off gout, coronary heart disease, amputation of limbs, hospitalizations and death for the  millions caught up in the vicious diabetic cycle. There is a cure stop chasing it. It's the cause and it is known, lack of proper nutrition, inactivity, and highly toxic living, working and play environments which includes lack of pristine air to breath and water to drink and clean food to eat.

5 Keys to Normalize Your Blood Sugar

As the summer winds down and the daylight grows shorter here in New England, I sigh.  I am such a summer person loving the extra outdoor activities, long hot days and feeling the heat and energy of the sun.

September is a beautiful month with bright sunshine and cooler temperatures the leaves begin to paint a rainbow of colors across the landscape.  This is a perfect time to transition to a healthy you and lower your blood sugar and rid yourself of all the disease management paraphernalia to manage any type of diabetes.

Key 1. is to Breathe deeply, into the heart center for the count of 5, hold for a count of 8 - 10 and out for 4.  This helps you to unwind and relax, a stress buster which is key of optimal health.  It also massages your lungs.

Key 2. is to Eliminate all white sugar, high fructose corn syrup and "foods" that convert quickly to sugar: alcohol, white pasta, white bread, whole grain bread, white potatoes and artificial sweeteners.

Key 3. is to not Count calories as it's a numbers game, not about nutrition absorption for optimal health.  Eat organic fruits and vegetables in a rainbow of colors, especially dark green leafy vegetables steamed, sauteed, blended in smoothies, juices and in salads.

Key 4. is to juice and  drink smoothies. Drink 8 oz. of water with fresh lemon juice 15 minutes prior to making/having your green juice. Then make smoothies for breakfast and snacks. Juicing has all of the nutrients that can cross over the cell wall barrier into the cells which allows the nutrients to give the cell elements what they require to do their jobs which in turn will increase your energy and lower your blood sugar.  From the time you drink your juice to the time it's nutrients make it over the cell walls is 15 minutes.  You can actually feel it happening. Smoothies have the fiber which will satisfy your hunger between meals, plus as a diabetic lower the sugar spike a too sweet juice will bring on.

Key 5. Self Love.  Only you can make the decision and the statement to your self that you love yourself enough to get away from the highly over processed foods that have hidden sugars, bad fats, chemicals, allergens and toxins. You love yourself enough to tune out the advertising, main stream misinformation and people telling you it won't work, you're crazy and more. You give your body and mind what they require, hightest not regular, to be able to function efficiently which will reduce/eliminate inflammation, keep your ph at the correct level and prevent or cure your diabetes.

Diabetes is a lifestyle dis-ease for all types. Genetics can play a part yet it has been proven genetics can be reversed/overcome with regards to disease.

Only a diabetic knows what it's like to have to check your sugar readings continually day in and day out, make sure you eat correctly to not pass out, deal with pain, all of the doctors appointments, paraphernalia purchases and usage, especially needles, unless you have the pump, and the need to inject insulin which is set up for you to continually need to do the routine until you die.  Nutrition in many ways as it was prior to the 1970's is paramount for optimal health, energy and to stave off gout, coronary heart disease, amputation of limbs, hospitalizations and death for the  millions caught up in the vicious diabetic cycle.

Summer's Bounty to Prevent and Cure Cancer and Diabetes

What a delicious summer this has been.  Organic fruits and vegetables are always welcome and tasty especially after the harsh winter we had this year in the Northeast.

I don't know why, but the organic fresh fruits and vegetables have more flavor this summer than I can ever remember.  What a treat.

Here are 6 ways to enjoy them.

1.  Step up your regular organic tossed salad with any or all of the below.  Switch them around for variety:

Fresh greens and lettuces from the farmers market, food stands and your own garden.

Add heirloom tomatoes, celery, fresh sprouts, scallions, and avocados

Add blueberries, peaches, raspberries, black berries, kiwi, pineapple  in any combination with the greens.

2.  Lightly brush and grill red, orange and purple peppers, asparagus, zucchini and yellow squash or your favorite vegetables with a favorite high heat flavored oil (hemp seed, grapeseed or coconut). And, Lightly brush and grill sliced sweet potatoes, golden beets, peaches and or pineapple (pineapple not likely found at the food stand or market).

3. Use lettuce, collard and chard for burritos. Fill with your favorite vegetables, nuts and seeds mixture or vegetable seeds and meat or fish mixture with seasoning.

4.  My favorite pick me up, and for hydration, is my morning green juice first thing in the morning usually from the base of cucumbers, celery, greens and fruits.  I use the left over pulp to make vegetable quinoa burgers.

5.  A greens and fruit smoothie an hour or so after the green juice is a great way to keep you satiated until lunch, and as an afternoon snack due to all of the fiber.  These are especially delicious with the luscious increase of flavor of the fresh summer fruits and vegetables.

6.  Delectable desserts made with the fresh fruits and herbs.  The imagination is endless here. Tarts, pies, bars, parfaits fruit salad,  ice cream, ices and more.

The markets and farm stands are so welcoming with all of their fresh bounty.  What a delight when your plate and table become the same.

The more rainbows of colors you eat ,that are more readily available during summer give your body a boost, a boost of energy, and a boost of immune support.  Some help to lower blood sugar levels and most are filled with antioxidants to keep oxidative damage and cancer at bay, plus so much more.  I've always been fascinated and loved rainbows.  This is another type of rainbow that fascinates me,  and possibly you too.

The more Organic fresh vegetables and fruits you eat during the summer sets you up for improved health as you obtain all of the vital nutrients your body requires, the vitamins and minerals not found in high quantities in the non-organic varieties while also giving more support to your local organic farmers.
Check the Environmental Working Groups Dirty and Clean list of non-organic fruits and vegetables to help you choose some from the list of clean if your budget requires cutting back on your food costs.

Some of my favorite organic summer fruits and vegetables are
heirloom tomatoes, fresh herbs, kale, rainbow chard, cucumbers, corn, fresh peas, spinach (though spinach is now finished until August) blueberries raspberries, strawberries, dark cherries and peaches and some hydrating watermelon.

I would love to hear about all of your favorites and any short recipe ideas that you have too.  I'm looking forward to reading your shares in the comments below

In health and joy,

Barbara
