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.

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

Chocolate Greetings!

Deep, Dark, Chocolate.  According to David Wolfe, engineer, living-food nutrition expert, superfoods expert and longevity expert, cacao, aka chocolate, has the highest amount of antioxidants in any other source on the planet. 

Chocolate with pistachios, CAHHC party 2012 

Chocolate grows on trees, the Cacao tree.  Minimally processed raw cacao is produced from the cacao seeds often referred to as cacao beans.  Chocolate comes to us from the Mayans who used the nuts for drinks and as currency.  Cacao trees grew wild in the Amazon basin and South American rain forests.  They were discovered by the Spanish Conquistador Don Hernán Cortés who brought cacao beans to Europe.  The love affair with chocolate continues to this day.

Cacao trees today are the #1 cash crop of the rain forests which greatly benefits the numerous indigenous people of the rain forests with employment.  This benefits the rain forests greatly themselves.

Forms of cacao are the seeds/nuts/ beans, pulp, as a powder like cocoa, cacao butter and cacao nibs. Cacao nuts have 15x the antioxidants of wild blue berries and they are the most eaten nut on the planet more popular than almonds. The beans in the cacao nuts are used to produce chocolate oil.  Minimally processed and non-heated cacao is raw chocolate and these oils and their healthy benefits remain intact. Chocolates with percentages of cacao above 70% are the best, health wise, where 55% is acceptable.  If  you can get your hands on raw cacao nuts even better.  

The chocolates with the least amount of sugar products are also best as certain degenerative dis-eases feed on sugar.   Plus, the amount of sugar most Americans eat per year is way too high, 150 - 180 pounds per year.  Yikes!  Added fruits, nuts, coconut, or essential oils add sweetness, flavor and texture. Chocolate products are best without dairy as well, as many of you are sensitive to it and don't necessarily know it. Plus, dairy causes mucous build up throughout the body and inflammation, a precursor to dis-ease.  Most chocolate that is found in stores is not healthy at all. Over processed, laden with sugar and milk products, artificial flavors and colors, do your body no good.

Do you have muscles that cramp up often? Low magnesium levels are the culprit many times. Personally, this has been an issue for me. Thank goodness I love healthy raw chocolate products.   Cacao is the highest source of magnesium. Magnesium has kept the painful charlie horse cramps at bay in my legs.  When I slip in eating healthy chocolate my legs cramp up again. Research has shown that magnesium is required for healthy muscles.  Remember, your heart is a muscle, so have your magnesium level checked with a number of vitamins and minerals at least once a year by your doctor, Naturopath or health practitioner.

Some benefits of Dark Chocolate are:

• Contains the highest amount of antioxidants in the world.  Research has shown that fruit has less antioxidant activity and flavanoids than dark chocolate and dark chocolate products. A chart online specifically lists all the fruits antioxidant levels and chocolate’s level.
• Contains theobromine which is good for your nervous system
• Contains phenylethylamine found in the nervous system.  It has a mood boosting effect due to it releasing the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine in the brain.
• Contributes to cardiovascular health by lowering blood pressure and increasing blood flow
• Raw chocolates have the added benefits of retaining the original nutrients and minerals the body requires
• Chocolate is the #1 anti-aging food in the world. It contains polypehols and resveratrol
• Chocolate is the #1 food for magnesium in the world, highest source of iron, manganese and chromium of any other major food in the world, and is necessary for blood building , stabilization of blood sugar(chromium) and stress reduction– David Wolfe
• Chocolate is the #1 raw food  
• Very rich in phosphorus for healthy bones and great for your teeth and zinc and copper.  – David Wolfe

David has been interviewed numerous times about cacao/chocolate. His videos are a Google search away, “David Wolfe Benefits of Chocolate” and on Youtube.  The TED talk February 2012 and a few interviews with Supreme Master Television are packed with information. 

There are many decadent raw chocolates and raw snack bars on the market to choose from.  So just maybe this year and moving forward, you will think of chocolate in a new light, I mean dark, dark chocolate that is.

So ladies, to chocolate! Indulge. Valentine’s Day, and every day.

Do you have a favorite chocolate dessert or recipe you'd love to share?  Simply put your fingers to the keyboard, give them some exercise, and let us know.  

In health and joy,
Barbara

Sugar Coated Holiday Blues

What a combination, sugar and the holiday blues.  One is enough to live with.  But really, so many of us have both of them.  There is definitely a connection between them. As far as sugar blues goes, many Americans have them and have been exporting them around the world.

What are they? Please continue reading this article by clicking here: Sugar Blues.

To stress free, less sugar and memorable holidays,

In health and joy,
Barbara
