How Ill-Health Changed My Values

When you have a prolonged bout of ill-health your values change and the former plans you had seem less important. Getting your health back becomes paramount! The progress on my business has fallen into decline as I didn't have the energy, concentration or inclination to work on it.
After a fractured kneecap (patella) earlier this year, followed by a spinal injury and recently, I have spent 4 weeks under the grips of vertigo. A very debilitating situation as you appear well but can suffer all manner of symptoms, mine were: nausea, light-headedness, unsteady gait and giddiness, plus difficulty sleeping, this is debilitating by itself. Some rather strange things helped me live with the nausea, liquorish, nuts and lettice leaves chewed to a pulp!
I am delighted to say the symptoms are at last clearing, (although not recommended by the doctor, travel sickness pills did give some relief). Also a few days ago someone told me about Eply treatment shown on YouTube and demonstrated by the medical profession, but the doctors around here don't practice it. It is a sequence of simple head movements to clear misplaced crystals in your inner ears balance canals. If you are suffering from Vertigo you may wish to Google Eply or watch the videos.
However the information came as my symptoms were clearing, it is fantastic to feel well again, my business can be set back on track, and once again my life can return to normal. However it has made me re-evaluate my values and good health, has become number one!
I have again been reading Anthony Robbins, he explains how changing the sequence in your list of values can change your life-plan, change your beliefs and change your life. A belief is a feeling of certainty and power about what you believe to be true. To substantiate your beliefs, e.g. "you can be successful", make a list of things you have succeeded in, in the past. The longer the list the more proof you have to convince your subconscious and the stronger your belief system will become. Dwell on your desired result to strengthen your beliefs, continual messages along your neural pathway to your brain help to achieve this. Keep your thoughts on what you want to achieve not negative thoughts, use your imagination to "see" results.
It is difficult to be positive when you are feeling unwell, or suffering misfortune, but stop indulging in negative thoughts, they are not helping you to change, commit to a positive life-style with thoughts of success and happiness.
Self sabotage happen when we have mixed thoughts that negate our progress. It is like driving a car with the break on we go round in circles.
If improving your life is something that interests you I would suggest reading "Awaken the Giant Within or watching Anthony Robbins videos on YouTube. So if these suggestions help you to improve your health, or get rid of bad habits and make your life happier, maybe lose weight, give up smoking, of stop depression and re-evaluate your life I am delighted. It feels great to feel positive again,
I am now able to once again concentrate on growing my business and enjoying time and location freedom. If one of you life-changes is to own your own business, you too can enjoy time and location freedom by working at home, by setting up a small online business in your spare-time, perhaps you could give up some TV to free up some time.
Grow it to suit your needs. Maybe a holiday fund or even a full-time business. There are many part-timers online also many millionaires in the industry, the choice is yours according to your aspirations and commitment.
The simplest way to begin online is with the help and guidance of a coach who supplies excellent products, paying a generous commission for sales up to 50%. Earn whilst you are learning the training. Affiliate marketing is a system of working online with a reduced risk and the comradeship of other like-minded entrepreneurs. Programs exist in virtually any topic you can think of. Visit magazine racks for ideas or make a Google search. The internet is the way of the future.
Best Wishes for your future, may you be happy healthy and successful.

Tips For Preparing Easy To Make Healthy Dinner Meals

For most families, dinner is the most important meal of the day. It is that only part of the day wherein all family members are present and everyone can catch up on all the important familial and school matters. Parents who are in charge of preparing dinner will also have more time to cook and won't have to feel rushed about making the night's meal, unlike during breakfast, when everyone has to hurry to go to work or school.
Since dinner is usually the only time during the day that everyone can be present at the table, you will certainly want to spend less time preparing the meal and more on conversing with the family. As such, it would be helpful to know some tips for preparing easy to make dinner meals that are healthy and delicious, too. Below are some of these tips you can follow for making easy to cook yet healthy dinner meals:
• Create a dinner meal plan. Set aside some time during the weekends (when you're free) to come up with a dinner meal plan for the week. Make sure your meal plan has healthy recipes. As such, don't forget to incorporate whole grains, greens, lean proteins, and other healthy and nutritious ingredients.
• Set aside time to make some prep works as well. When you have some free time, do the necessary food prep tasks, too. This means peeling and cutting vegetables and fruits and storing them properly in the refrigerator. You can also chop some additional fruits and vegetables so that you can have extra ones for everyone to snack on or to add to other meals.
• You can also make sure you will always incorporate healthy vegetables in your meals without spending too much time on prep work by buying pre-cut fresh vegetables such as broccoli, squash, and mushrooms.
• Always store and use healthy cooking staples. For easy, healthy food preparation, always keep your staples handy. These include extra-virgin olive oil, egg substitutes, and fat-free or light soymilk. Leading nutritionists recommend using extra-virgin olive oil in a spray bottle because this is a sure and an easier way to reduce the fat and calorie content of a dish.
• Modify your cooking methods. Lastly, by changing the usual way you cook, you can effectively reduce everyone's fat and calorie intake. As such, if you're always pan-frying chicken, consider baking or broiling it. You'll spend less time watching what you cook while serving and eating healthier dishes. Grilling, broiling, or poaching fish is a healthier option as well. You can also avoid using too much oil by microwaving diced vegetables such as onions and greens instead of frying them.

Top 5 Reasons a Walk-In Clinic Beats an Emergency Room Visit

Walk-in clinics provide important medical care for those in need. They are increasingly popular-and for good reason. They provide a host of benefits in one central location. Below is a list of five reasons why this type of facility beats out an emergency room alternative.
The Cost Is Much Less
Although you'll get the same great service at a walk-in clinic as you would in an emergency room, you'll pay much less. This is excellent for individuals who can't afford health insurance, as well as for families with plans that contain high deductibles. There are several reasons why these facilities cost less than hospital emergency rooms; for example, since hospitals are so much larger it is more expensive to maintain them. That drives the cost of service up for anyone who needs to be seen or admitted due to an illness or injury.
The Wait Times Are Shorter
At many hospitals, the staff often take several hours to see, diagnose, and treat their patients. This often eats up a big chunk of a patient's day. A walk-in clinic works much the same way as a doctor's office does: patients are examined by a physician in a timely manner. Most visits don't take longer than an hour from the moment a person signs in to the time he or she walks out the front door.
X-Rays and Lab Services Are Available
Urgent care centers offer much more than just checking for ear infections or fevers. Many are also equipped with lab facilities for drawing blood or x-ray machines to check for broken bones. These are services that a family physician can't offer without referring the patient to another facility. This added convenience means that a parent can quickly have a child's broken wrist diagnosed without first going to the pediatrician's office, only to be sent to the diagnostics center or ER, which could take up an entire afternoon.
It Leaves Emergencies For the Emergency Room
Utilizing the walk-in clinic for broken bones, throat infections, and cuts that need stitches means less crowding in the emergency room. This leaves just the true emergencies for the hospital staff to tend to. This includes life-and-death situations, immediate surgeries, and blood transfusions. In other words, choosing an urgent care facility can help save the life of someone who needs immediate assistance by keeping the hospital from becoming overcrowded.
Records Can be Forwarded
All urgent care clinics are willing to work with a patient's physician. They will forward all medical documents from the visit to any doctor's office once the visit is complete, if this service is requested by the patient. Hospitals typically work the other way around, requiring that the family doctor calls their record's office and requests a copy of the patient's information. This takes a little more time, which can mean a delay in any required follow-up treatment.
Both facilities offer board-certified physicians that care about their client's well-being. Although walk-in clinics are preferable for everyday injuries, always choose an ER when a life is at risk.

Discount Drugs Help Cut Costs and Provide Convenience

In Western medicine, we rely a lot on drugs to treat conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and even emotional instability. Pharmaceutical companies are constantly researching to help patients overcome their disease states. However, one of the main obstacles for people taking prescription drugs is cost. Medications, especially of the brand name variety, can come with a hefty price tag. If the patient's insurance does not cover the cost and if the drug is not available in a generic form at the local pharmacy, then the patient is not left with many options. This leads to medication nonadherence, which is when a patient does not take their medication as prescribed by their physician.
Nonadherence can be due to various reasons, such as side effects, but if the patients are unable to obtain the medication in the first place, then it is impossible for them to even consider taking it. Luckily, nowadays there are options for purchasing discount drugs at a fraction of the cost that they would be at community pharmacies. Patients are able to order their generic or brand name medications online or over the phone through companies that specialize in providing wholesale prices to individuals. These companies offer safe and affordable medications that are filled by staff pharmacists. As a result, medication adherence improves significantly because of the affordability, convenience, and security provided.
Pharmaceutical companies invest a lot of money into the products that they develop, so they charge a lot in order to make a profit. That is the reason why some medicines are so expensive. For a certain number of years, only that company may produce and sell the product. This is to protect the company from immediately having to compete with other pharmaceutical entities, but it puts the patients at a disadvantage because they may not be able to afford the medications. Luckily, after a certain number of years, the drug can be released as generic at a much lower price. However, this is a lengthy process in itself, and the generic versions may not be immediately available at local pharmacies. This is where companies offering discount drugs come in. They work on a global scale to provide brand and generic drugs that have been approved by the FDA. They have licensed pharmacists on staff to ensure that the products are safe and effective.
Companies offering discount drugs also provide the convenience of delivering medications securely to the patient's home. The patient no longer needs to worry about going to the pharmacy to drop off their prescription and then pick it up. This can be a hassle due to long lines, lack of privacy, and unexpected delays. Decades ago, locally owned pharmacies would make home deliveries, but this practice has diminished with the rise of large chains. The return of this practice is particularly helpful for patients with limited mobility. It is also advantageous for patients who may be embarrassed by the stigma that comes with certain medications, such as those for erectile dysfunction or yeast infections.
This service is a great alternative for patients who do not want to deal with the high costs and the hassle of community pharmacies. It improves adherence for the same reasons. As always, patients should consult with their doctor or pharmacist for any questions or concerns regarding their medications.

Why Does My Diet Not Work?

In 1990 I decided to become vegetarian. Well to be accurate Pescetarian - I continued to eat some fish and shell fish. My reasons were mostly because I had become more and more uncomfortable about cooking and eating meat and I disliked the whole idea of killing animals. I also had become very active in the new age movement at the time and the environmental cost of meat production simply did not make sense. It wasn't long before even the thought of eating meat was distasteful and I have never been tempted to eat meat since.
However I did start to put on weight and I have continued to battle with my weight now for 25 years. When I changed gender and began taking hormone replacement therapy it got worse. I have tried the weight watchers diet, the lemon diet, the grapefruit diet, the 5:2 diet, the Mediterranean diet. the Beverley Hills diet, the cabbage soup diet, an Ayurvedic Diet, the Atkins diet (really challenging if you are vegetarian), the Paul McKenna Diet, the Think Thin diet - and many more I have now forgotten.
In that time the one diet that did work was Sure Slim - This is a very complex and also very expensive diet based on metabolic typing, Low Gi, Low Fat, low carb and personal food preferences. The diet involves blood tests, and an in-depth interview followed by regular weekly then bi weekly consultations. Every meal has to be meticulously weighed with ingredients selected from a quite restricted list. I lost about 4 stone in six months - and then put most of it back on in the net six months.
Every year since then I have resolved to lose the weight again and every year I give up after a few months and the weight returns. The problem is that I had stick to a complex diet even to maintain my weight and that made it almost impossible to eat out, or tuck into a buffet, or grab something to eat when on the road, or go to a dinner party.
I am sure most of you reading this article will have had similar experiences - and the older we get the more difficult it seems to be to lose weight and maintain good health.
However I am not giving up and I have recently begun looking in more detail at the Low carb Low Gi diets to see if I can find a way to simplify this process and find a more acceptable longer term diet that will work.
There are a few books that have contributed over the past decade to my growing understanding of diet. Rose Elliot's Vegetarian Low Carb Diet is excellent - though you need to enjoy eggs and tofu to follow that diet in the first 14 days. That said she is one of the leading experts on vegetarian food and her explanations of the basis of the diet have really helped me to understand better the principles of the sure slim diet that worked.
Chris Woollams The Rainbow Diet is primarily about how to beat cancer by eating more healthily with a version of the Mediterranean Diet. But if you can beat cancer by changing your diet it's the same process and the same diet to beat heart problems and diabetes and put you on the road to Perfect Health. The book has really helped me to understand how nutrition and the body works and what our diet can do to make it go wrong or make to work better. Why my doctor has not read this book I do not know.
Finally a book I came across over 20 years ago which is now out of print but available second hand is The Food Addicts Diet by Tish Hayton. In helping her son overcome a huge problem with allergies to many foods, Tish came to the conclusion that many of us are suffering from food addiction and the foods we are addicted to are wheat, potato, milk and sugar. When I first read it I didn't want to believe it even though I knew it made sense. These four foods are the basis of all convenience foods. Between them they account for about 80% of everything we eat.
Putting everything I have read from these and many other books together I am beginning to understand why one diet worked, and why I then put all the weight back on. I am beginning to understand how to simplify my diet so that I can lose weight and keep it off. I have not managed to do it yet - but what I am doing is to record all my progress and will be writing further articles about my journey towards achieving perfect health.
My problem has been an addiction to foods that encourage my body to store fat. They are the reason why diets fail because as soon as we come off a diet we inevitably return to the foods that encourage us to store fat.
The food industry also knows this but they benefit so much from this food addiction that they are not prepared to even try to tackle the problem. Instead we have been conned and lied to for decades. We have been convinced that the villain is Fats. So we are all obsessed with low fat foods and diet drinks which are loaded with sugar substitutes like Aspartame.
But it's not the fats in the food that are stored as fat in the body - it is carbohydrates - particularly simple carbohydrates from grains and sugars. It's not just wheat and sugar. Our bodies need glucose for energy which comes from carbohydrates - any excess carbs are converted to fat as a reserve for times when we don't have enough. In the past this was quite often - but now in the west we simply don't get that hungry.
No matter how much you cut down on food, if you give the body more carbs than it needs it will store the excess and it will not burn the fat. The only way to get your body to burn fat is to starve it of carbs. Cut grain, sugar and even starchy vegetables.
I have been eating a healthy diet of fruit and vegetables for years thinking that would help me lose weight but it doesn't. Many fruit and vegetables are high in carbohydrates.
So the first step in losing weight and keeping it off is to tackle the number one villain - SUGAR - wherever that comes from. Sugar, honey, fruit, corn syrup, maple syrup etc. Sugar is sugar - it is quickly separated into glucose. So my first piece of advice in tackling weight gain and making a permanent change to your diet is that you have to lose your sweet tooth.
The more you restrict your sugar intake, the less you will crave it until eventually you will find sugar sickly. It is not going to be easy but if you value your health and want to get to a good long term comfortable weight, your enemy will be sugar and it has to go.

5 Tips For Picking The Best Urgent Care Center In Maui

1. Finding The Right Match
Finding the right place for your medical needs is much like finding the right primary care doctor. Feeling comfortable with your physician is a critical step in choosing the right Maui Urgent Care Center. Before you walk in the door, call and ask if you can speak to an available physician. Ask him or her questions about how they handle medical conditions such as, do they take a more traditional approach, or do they recommend alternative treatment options? Once you feel comfortable with their style of care, you'll feel more confident that you're choosing the right medical provider. In addition to the style of care, you should also ask how long your physician has lived in Hawaii. The islands are home to very unique organisms that visitors can find themselves allergic to, including flowers like protea, foods such as poi, and marine life like Potters Angel fish and sea fan coral. These rare flora and fauna only exist here or in just a few remote areas in the world, so visitors are unlikely to have had any previous contact with them. That's why a local physician who understands what to look for and the right questions to ask is crucial to making the right diagnosis so you can get better faster, and back to enjoying your vacation.
2. Accessibility
Maui, and in particular the east side of the island, has many remote areas that are popular visitor destinations but far from the commercial hubs where most urgent care centers are located. For instance, if you were staying at the Travaasa Hotel in Hana, Maui, and needed to visit your nearest urgent care clinic, you'd have drive 4-5 hours to get there, which would result in you missing an entire day of your vacation in paradise. In many cases finding a Maui-based urgent care center that offers telemedicine visits is the best option for accessing medical care. Having the ability to see your Hawai'i-licensed physician from your computer, tablet, or mobile device can save you time and help you quickly decide whether you need to make a trip into the nearest urgent care center or hospital. In most instances, your doctor can fax or call in a prescription to the nearest pharmacy saving you hours of travel time.
3. Affordability
When searching for the right urgent care center in Maui it's important to ask about payment and coverage options. Many urgent care centers offer only local insurance including HMA, UHA, HMMA or Kaiser Your Choice coverage that can result in a higher out-of-pocket cost for visitors. Calling and asking about coverage before you show up can save you time and money. No insurance? Don't worry, most walk-in clinics offer a rate for people without insurance -- but you'll want to know up front what those costs are so you can make the most informed healthcare decision.
4. Ask The Experts
Your hotel or timeshare concierge provides a great place to start your urgent care search. They deal with hundreds of visitors and are very familiar the activities that can result in injuries for the under or unprepared, like ocean dives, surf schools, and day hikes in more rugged areas. Consequently, they have relationships with the closest urgent care centers. As soon as you determine that you need care, make your concierge the first stop on your journey to feeling better.
5. Dig Deeper
Once you have a few walk-in care locations in mind, go online and read about experiences other visitors have had. Check sites like Yelp, Google Places, Facebook and the urgent care centers' websites for customer testimonials and star ratings. Picking a location that has good reviews and clinic pictures will help reduce your anxiety, make a more informed healthcare decision, and result in a better overall medical care experience.

Be Your Own Health Care Professional

I grew up in an age when rural Saskatchewan doctors made house calls. They also did hospital rounds and ran a clinic. They usually knew their patients well because they delivered many of them. Lab work and x-rays were done in one location - at the local hospital. Specialists were almost unheard of and that meant that the local doctor needed to deal with pretty well everything.
Things have changed so much! Now clinics have huge waiting lists of people who do not have a family physician. Those who are ill and do not have a family physician often end up seeing a walk-in doctor who merely deals with the presenting surface issue without all the medical history. Some end up waiting for hours at a time in a triage system at the local Emergency ward.
Because of specialization, the doctor who, in the past, would have been the "expert" now plays a role similar to the quarterback on a football team. S/he does an intake meeting and then sends out appropriate referrals to other professionals who diagnose and treat.
Well, no matter who you see or what your situation is, you are the one who actually understands your body and mind the best. Because of this, it is important that you do some things to ensure that you obtain and maintain a healthy condition:
1. Keep good records - Start a book or electronic site where you record information. Before you go to see a physician or health professional, write down all the concerning symptoms as well as your questions. Make sure that your book has a list of the medications that you are taking. Your pharmacist will provide a copy for you. During or immediately after your appointment you can write down new information that your physician has provided you. Keeping track of all your appointments and health concerns in this book will help you to keep accurate information without having to try to remember things. A secure clip on the front of your book will allow you to safety hold new prescription requisitions or other handouts received during appointments.
2. Watch for change - Are you losing or gaining weight? Do you sleep less or more than usual? Has your mood been different? When did you first start experiencing new pain or notice unfamiliar bumps and bruises? On a scale of one to ten, (with one being the worst and ten being the best situation), how do you rate the seriousness of your problem? Make written notes about these things in your boo.
3. Do your research - Not everything on the internet is accurate and experience that your friends might tell you about may not apply to you. At the same time, however, there are ways that you can learn about your diagnosis or if there are treatment options available for you to try. The library, computer and acquaintances are all good sources for learning about health, illness and treatment.
4. Be wise - Ensuring that you eat a nutritious diet and get enough rest are the foundation of good health care practice. Limit your alcohol and caffeine consumption as well as your stress. Exercise, find positive ways to contribute to society and laugh!
5. Be a good advocate for you - If your physician promised to do something and you aren't sure if it was done, call his/her office to find out. Remember, physicians are extremely busy. It is up to you to follow up if you haven't heard by the date given. I see many clients who wait for information thinking that "someone" will call them and "someone" never calls. Be pro-active. Also, be willing to ask if there is a cancellation list that you can be on if your next appointment is far down the road. If you have trouble understanding or remembering details, ask a friend or family member to attend your appointment with you and make notes. You are in the "business" of health care.
Your physician has only a few short minutes to meet with you. During that time s/he needs to gather information, determine a diagnosis and then recommend treatment. On the other hand, you have twenty-four hours a day on every single day of the year to take care of yourself, record information and make good health care choices.
In today's busy world it is more of a responsibility than ever for you to take responsibility to be well and stay well!
