A HEALTHY NEW YEAR is a HAPPY NEW YEAR — Keep it Simple!!

In making plans for holidays it is inevitable to consider what the next year will bring. Everyone at least considers what they could or would like to do better, right?
This year is going to be different we are going to LOOSE WEIGHT, GET IN SHAPE, LIVE HEALTHIER…. and so on. These are all great intentions but by mid February we are struggling with the things that always crop up and steel our zest to stay on our path, soon we deviate a little then a lot….

I think it’s in our greater good to consider how we can keep our plan in place before we make the commitments for the New Year. It’s sort of like making a list before you hit the grocery store. Living healthy can be a challenge for a busy person or family if you DON’T have a plan in place to stick to the plan. So what makes living healthy really work? Personally I believe that it takes living healthy everyday. It has to make sense and it has to be a part of what you do on a daily basis. Your family can be healthier when it’s a part of their day to day activity.

I have a few suggestions that will make a difference for you in the upcoming year!

• Start with the desire to live healthy everyday, not on and off on weekends
• The plan has to integrate into the daily regimen, not shopping in places that are hard to get to or too expensive.
• Switching stores, shopping for better products, chemical free, toxic free…
• Keep it simple bring home things for the family, healthier snacks, cereals….
• Healthy eating, cleaning and living everyday based on what you choose to have  in the home

As a busy working mom I love the way the www.Healthy-US.com has integrated daily health into my home. It just feels better and simpler to be able to know where, when and how to stay on the plan everyday of the year. You can live healthy, get in shape and loose the weight that you want by keeping it simple.
Happy New Year!

Are you cleaning up the house and making everyone SICK!

Taking the time each week to do household chores is a natural part of any moms or housewife’s busy schedule. Most of us do something to clean on daily basis, weather it be washing clothes or dishes we try to do what’s needed to keep our homes clean. In the process we hope to keep our family healthy while riding it germs and bacteria that will make us sick. However did you know that the very products we use daily to keep our homes clean are the primary culprits for making us SICK?

Facts:
• Since World War II, we have developed more than 80,000 chemicals for use in the cleaners, pesticides, plastics, personal care products, industrial products and other modern day conveniences. We know very little about the effect of these chemicals on a child’s development.
• The EPA reported to congress that our indoor air contains the nation’s worst pollution, with the typical American home having chemical contamination levels 70 times higher than levels found in the air outside.
• The Consumer Products Safety Commission has identified 150 chemicals in the home that have been directly linked to allergies, birth defects, caner and psychological abnormalities. The Consumer Safety Commission concluded that cleaning products are some of the most dangerous substances in the home.

The epidemics that we face today are only an indicator of how seriously impacted we are by the chemicals used in our homes. I have witnessed changes in my family that have made it obvious to me that the amount of chemicals and toxins in the things we use everyday were the BIGGEST problem for my family. We have to take matters into our own hands when it comes to the decisions we make about everyday consumables that we expose our family’s to and use. Our home environment is one environment that we can control by making better choices.

With 48 Million Americans not having health insurance and the average middle class family spending more than 10% of their monthly income to provide insurance for their family, we have to take healthcare more seriously. We have to live healthy everyday just to be able to afford to LIVE. For additional information please visit my website http://www.healthy-us.com or email me at Angelique@healthy-us.com .

Stress is Directly related to Nutrient Deficiency!

As a wife, mom, and business women I have multiple task in life on a daily basis. I have four children, a husband, and a large extended family. Life can be pretty stressful on MOST days. My husband experiences high stress as well because of the multi tasking required of him each day. Soon, both of us recognized the consequences of NOT MANAGING our stress on a daily basis. Headaches, chronic fatigue, high cholesterol, and of course stroke and heart attack are all related to stress. 

Most of us are aware that our lifestyle contributes to the stress we experience; however we are NOT aware of the various ways we contribute to our stress by missing meals, not getting enough rest, or simply not taking vitamins on a daily basis. Stress management is key to a healthy life and so is taking vitamins. Nutrient deficiencies are to blame for many ailments and diseases that we experience; even poor decision making can be directly linked to nutrient deficiency. People who are considered to be healthy through diet and exercise often find themselves experiencing high stress and illnesses as well. But the truth is that it’s a big challenge to get the vitamins and nutrients needed from our fruits and vegetables these days. We are rotating the soil so fast, picking veggies before they are ripe, and spraying them with pesticides. No wonder we can’t balance our stress throughout the day, we start our day stressed out already when we wake up.

I have found the best stress management tool for my entire family to be one of taking vitamins and supplements taken in the AM and PM hours. Natural nutritional supplements that lower cholesterol and hypertension can help manage stress and keep you balanced! It has provided us with the most effective way to handle daily stress and kept our family healthy, even in stressful times!

Life doesn’t have to stress you out. You can find balance and peace of mind! Allow me to show you how we did it. Call 888-414-WELL (9355) to hear more about stress management through nutrients!
