Being Overweight -You Thought It Was All Your Fault

If I told you that what you are eating is killing you you would probably say no way. Most people that hear things like this say," come on stop kidding". Then they say my grandmother and grandfather lived until they were eighty or ninety years old.They ate just like I eat. The question that should come to mind is did they live in good health. Does it make since eat what you like only to live to in pain everyday of your life? Being overweight can be painful physically and emotionally. But, I have some news for you. It's not all your fault if you are overweight. Recently, I read that 58 million people are overweight and 3 Million morbidly Obese. In years past the health of American was not like this. If you ask them how did they get overweight they may say I'm not really sure. Some of them may say that they just like food. There are those that love food and love to eat. But, they are not overweight. Why is that. There are some factors that have to be considered. On e factor is exercise. But, there is another factor that should be considered. The other factor that should be considered is what is in or put on your food. Highly processed food seems to be a problem to many of us. What goes into processed foods? High fat, high sugar, high oil and high salt are just some of the things that can be found in processed foods. These things not only lead to one becoming fat, but it also leads to disease. You may not believe this,but you are being targeted to buy and to eat these processed foods. Advertisement are everywhere to influence you. This is the truth. It's time that you see the proof.

Emotional Health - Chris Brown and Rihanna

Who's really in charge of our emotional health? It appears that everyone from Oprah,Ellen DeGeneres is weighing in the Chris Brown and Rihanna situation. Yes, it is true that there was an altercation between them. It is true that Chris Brown as reported appeared to be the one that was doing all the hitting. The question is what sparked this violent altercation? Recent, statistics show that about one in three high school students have been or will be involved in an abusive relationship.We must stop here, Chris and Rihanna are not in high school.We must stop here and ask ourselves how many adult are involved in abusive relationship? Chris and Rihanna are young adults. The first question that came to my mind when I heard about this was what in the world are our young people seeing? According to the Oprah Show that air on 12th of March both of them have seen some type of abuse go on in the home as children. In an early interview on the Tyra Banks Show Chris Brown said he wouldn't want to hit a woman because he saw what happened to his Mom as a child. It effected him so bad that he would wet in the bed. Could it be that what they saw as children is now having an effect on them? Or could the aggressive or violence behavior that we all see everyday through the media be having an effect on them? We may never know. But, one thing that we do know is that this was never their intentions. Chris Brown and Rihanna have been the model young couple for some time now. It has been reported that Rihanna loves this guy. There has been no type of abuse or aggressive behavior reported until this night. So, why this night? Dear readers we need the answer to this question. We also need to know who is in control of your emotional health. Are you or somebody else?



Many woman are saying Rihanna get rid of the this guy. It is a tragedy that it would take two young people like Chris and Rihanna to awake the consciousness of America on domestic violence and emotional health. It is also sad that many will now give advice to Rihanna and come to her aid when all the details are still not clear. Do we not think that Chris Brown should also be given advised. It is evident that he does have a problem. I have yet to hear one person say Chris Brown apologized and just let her go. I have yet to hear anyone say Chris Brown tell your part of the story or Chris Brown you and Rihanna should get together and tell what happen to set the record straight.What many fail to realize in this situation is this, not matter what you say to either side they will have to make decision for themselves. They will have to make the decision for themselves because we can't make it for them. Rihanna can be saying that he made a mistake and that he will never make again. Chris on the other hand could be realizing now that he made the biggest mistake of his life. As we sit here and say what this one or that one should do they are going to live their lives regardless. Why? They are ultimately in control of their emotions. I'm sure some are saying it's the other way around. We all have a right to our opinion.


My friend learn a lesson about relationship. When two people get emotionally attached only they can seperate themselves. This is not to slight Rihanna or Chris, but this has to be said. In relationships abusive or non-abusive, individuals become selfish. In most cases one person just wants to be loved. They will go to the grave trying get that love from that person that they want to love them. This sometimes lead to possessive behavior.What do I mean by possessive behavior? What I mean is wanting that special person all to yourself. In some relationship one partner is smother by the other. They follow that person everywhere. They want to know whose is on the phone. Who is that sending you a text message? They want to be loved, but they have a touch of insecurity. They feel that they can't live without that person.The other person wants love, but they also want control. They want what they want, when they want, at the time they want it and that time is usually right now. It's kind of like the behavior of a baby. The baby cries for what he or she wants until he or she gets it. The baby throws a tantrum until he or she gets it. The baby because violent. I think you get the point.In successful relationship a compromise is worked out so that all will be satisfied. In most relationships especially in the beinning there a growing pains.True love ultimate takes control if that is what they want.In a non-successful relationship (or abusive relationship)there is simply no giving in on both sides. One accepts the abuse for love, while the other controls and abuses for what they think is love. These types relationship usually end tragically.


I have to say this.It is wrong for a man to hit a woman. It also wrong for a woman to hit and man, but it is more acceptable because men are suppose to be macho. It is also wrong to rape a woman. But, this also occurs with men. But, most men are to embarassed to standup and tell about it.They know that they will be look upon as a wimp. What I'm I getting at? This is my point we live in a society that has a double standard. A woman can yell her head off. She can provoke a man to want to knock her head off, but when a man does it it is called abuse, emotional abuse.


When a woman hits a man people say that the man should just walk away. Yet, when a man hits woman no one is telling her to walk away. During the Oprah show a teenage student was asked about the Chris and Rihanna situation. She said, "if she hit him then she deserve it". She look at this situation as if Chris Brown was defending himself. My friends abuse or violence is never right. We all need to learn how to handle situation without abuse and violence. You never know whose watching you. In Rihanna and Chris Brown situation the media was watching. If I could talk to these two young people I would say don't ever let anything like this happen again. Love each other, trust each other and most of all be honest. Finally,I must say this make your own choices in life because you will have to live with them. Don't ever let people make them for you. You are ultimate responsible for your emotional health and well-being.If you need help (this applies to both and all) get help before it's too late.

Sexual Health - The Problems and Solutions

Seek Health

Help For the Flu Season

It has become the norm to get sick during the end of fall and winter. I would say that many get a least two to three colds during this time. Is there any solution to this problem? Recently, I became sick and I search for something that would help me to get back on my feet. I went to the local store hoping to get something close to natural as possible. What do I mean by natural? Well, something that doesn't contain any meat or meat by products. I was also looking for something without alcohol, caffeine, high sodium content and addictive pain relieving chemical. I was hoping to find something that also didn't have a high level of sugar in it. High amounts of sugar will weaken the immune system.

I figured I would try these cough drops that look like they would be as close to what I was looking for. At the time I had chills, a scratchy throat, running nose and a number of other symptoms. When I took cough drops, at the time I didn't have a cough. I really only pick them up because of my knowledge on herbs. This product contained echinacea which is an immune system builder. In just three days I was up and running. On a few occasion since then whenever I felt my throat getting scratchy I would take one or two drops. This would knockout whatever was coming out every time.

I'm a firm believer that you shouldn't have to pay an arm an a leg for a quality product. The product that I purchase was by a company called Ricola. It was very inexpensive. The name of the cough drops is echinacea and honey. This is written on the package. It work for me, perhaps it will work for you also.

The Talking Body - The Lips

This may sound like a funny subject to discuss, but I'll attempt to discuss it anyway. Lips, what are they used for? Lips are used for kissing and for express how one fills.
Lips are used to bring joy and happiness. When a person smile at you without showing their teeth it says that that person extending a greeting. That person is actually communicating a message to you. Our lips are used to talk for us when we refuse to say a word. The question I must ask is now that we know that we can used our lips to communicate with other; do our lips communicate with us?

Yes, our lips do communicate with us. I know that this may sound strange , bit it's true. When our lips are dry our lips could be saying a whole host of things.
Our lips could be saying:

Red lips or white lips that may burn slightly could a message that says:

* I'm getting too much wind (wind burned lips)
* I'm getting too much sun (white scaly lips,white or
red ring around the lips and mouth).
* I'm getting too much cold (white, chapped or peeling lips)
* I'm getting too much dry air or not enough water (dehydrated)
* I'm not getting the proper nutrition or I got some bad food.


Pumps and others odds things forming on the lips may be a message such as:

* That lip-balm is bad news
* That last person that you had sexual contact with has problems
* That something is going wrong inside the body

The lips communicate with us just like the skin and other parts of the body. We have realize that when the lips are talking we need to listen. We have to also learn that when we try to shut the lips up from talking by putting on lip-balm, lip-stick and licking them constantly is really doing the lips a dis-service. The lips are just doing there job, They are sending us warning signs that something is not right. Let's listen to our lips by taking care of the problem, so that when we see that special someone we can greet them with a healthy juicy smile.

From Torture to a Happy Meal

It is utterly amazing what really goes on in our world today. What is also amazing is how animals are treated before they become food on our plates. If I told you what it took to get that burger to your plate, that steak to your grill or that fried chicken in the bucket before you you wouldn't believe me. If I told you that those mouth-watering pictures of meat dishes came at the expense of a tortured or diseased animal you would say come on dude, stop kidding me. Many animals are viciously treated so that many can have mouth-watering meat dishes to eat. You have seen the commercial of a family sitting down at a restaurant about to dive into a burger and fries. If they only knew how that burger got there they would probably push it away.

I don't share this with because I worship animals, because I don't. I don't share this with you because I think that every person in the world should stop eating meat. I share this with you because my love for animals and mankind. We need to let the producers of these meat processing companies know that they can do a lot better than this. They are using chicken and cows to feed humans. They are not preparing this food for brute beast. Ask yourself I a I a brute best? I'm sure you answer no to that question. Then why should you let people treat you like one? You deserve high quality food not a steroid injected diseased piece of meat before you when you sit down to eat with your family.

There are over 600,000 meat processing companies in the United States. How many do you think are conducting business like this. Is this acceptable to you? You watch the video then make your decision. Then tell me what is so happy about his meal?

Hope For People With HIV/AIDS and Cancer

It appears that many believe that if you get HIV/AIDS or Cancer that there is no hope. Some people actually believe that it is the end of the world. I refuse to believe that. I'm a person that believe that there is something for every sickness or disease known to man. Recently, one of my friends was diagnose with breast cancer. She was told that she also might have liver cancer. At the time when I got the news I was researching a plant called Aloe or Aloe Vera. I believe that my findings gave her hope and it will give hope for all people with HIV/AIDS and Cancer.


While doing my research I found an article that talk about how Aloe or Aloe Vera helped this woman while she was taking chemotherapy. Most of us do not always believe what we read on the internet. But, when I read this I was amazed. I continued to research then I share some of the information with my friend with Breast Cancer. She immediately ordered The Aloe Juice from the company that I was recommended. You see some of these companies that sell Aloe Juice they water it down. It's sad but, true that some of companies sell Aloe Vera Juice products that doesn't even contain any Aloe at all. This causes people to doubt that Aloe Vera Juice could ever do anything for them.

In my research I wanted to find a company that really sold a high quality Aloe Vera product. One day I stumbled upon this book called, "Aloe Vera A Mission Discovered" by Dr, Lee Rittner. In this book Dr, Lee Ritter searches out the companies that really sell high quality Aloe products. I wrote my friend that was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. I told her about what I had learned. She order the juice from Dr. Ritter recommended company. I didn't hear from her for a while. It was about 2-3 weeks later when I heard from her. She was so excited. She said that she had been taking the juice and that she also started chemotherapy.

One of the alternatives when a person gets Breast Cancer is to have one or both breast removed. But, little do they know that cancer is in the blood. So, when the breast or breast is removed the cancer is still present in the blood. The blood actually has to be cleansed for the cancer to be gone. The cancer cells are usually destroyed when a person recovers from Cancer. When the breasts are removed as a solution to get rid of the cancer many woman suffer from life long mental and physical scares. For my friend she didn't want to be cut on. I really didn't blame her. If you could see some of the scares left behind you would perhaps understand why.

So, my friend took the Aloe Juice. When we last spoke she told me that she has had more energy than she had in a while. She is able to go to work everyday. Normally, when a person takes chemotherapy they are always feeling tired and drained. She said with her this was not the case. When a person has Cancer or HIV/AIDS they're also some symptoms of tiredness,fainting,and pain. My friend said that she wasn't experiencing known of these symptoms at all. The people on her job couldn't believe it. The doctors are even baffled by this.

Aloe Vera helps the body to heal itself. It boost up the body immune systems and it seems to stimulate the organs in the body to function the way that they suppose to.This boosting of the immune system causes the body to fight off the disease or sickness.The human body should be naturally able to fight off many diseases if given proper nutrition. But, unfortunately much of the food that we buy is not of the highest quality. Diets that are high in meat, sugar, fats, oils, and enriched products weaken the body in the long run. My friend has been recharged because of what this Aloe Juice product has done for her. She now wants to tell the world. I hope that others who are in need will do as she has done. I also hope that they will get the results that she is getting.

Aloe Juice comes from the Aloe Plant which is part of the lily or the onion family. The lily or onion family also contain other plants that help us all daily. I'm sure you're familiar with garlic, onion and asparagus. They also belong to this family. For those that suffer from HIV/AIDS, according to the research that I have done there have been cases where those who have had full-blown AIDS have recovered fully after taking the Aloe Vera Juice. There is hope for all who are suffering from HIV/AIDS and Cancer.

HIV/AIDS-This Could Have Been Your Child

Many are not affected by the pain when someone dies that is not close to them, nor when one contracts a life threatening disease. But, when is hits home there are tears and pain. Ultimately, there is devastation. Should we not feel that way for all who suffer? It really doesn't matter the age, color or creed. A life is a life . Have we become so desensitized to reality that we think that nothing like that could ever happen to us or our child. Well, my friends this could have been your child. Many young ladies are just trying sex for the first time and this is happening to them. In some cases there is just one partner. It doesn't take multi-partner to get HIV/AIDS.

What would you do in a situation like this? What would you be able to tell your daughter or son? It is time that we realize that AIDS does not discriminate. It doesn't hesitate to steal joy out our lives. Whether it be because of carelessness or ignorance the effects of this disease causes havoc on the minds of those that it affects. The family of those affected are also touched in such a negative way that it is almost unreal.

In the video above and the video below we are allowed to see the reactions of those that have been affected.We can hear stories and learn a great deal. It's a harsh reality. What can we do to bring comfort to the hurting, the dying or those who have lost all hope. The key is education. We must learn about the disease. We must take precaution. We must be willing to be honest with ourselves. If someone gave me this disease how would I feel? Then ask yourself could I spread a disease like this and hurt the ones I love? Wow! What a thought! That's what we need to do. We need to think because this could have been your child.

Again, I ask the question what if one of the young ladies in the video was your child? What could you say to her that would give her the hope to live? What could you say to her so that she would let her know that you cared?
