Health Benefits of Cayenne Pepper
by Jennifer Good

Have you ever considered Cayenne Pepper for Heart Health? Weightloss? or even pain Relief? You really should. Here’s a great in depth article to help you decide. Reprinted with Permission:  JonBarron.org Daily Health Tip Newsletter The Natural Health Benefits of Cayenne Pepper

Let’s face it Cayenne Pepper is Hot. Most people complain when they eat something hot that their mouth feels like it is on fire. Some even suggest that they will “pay for it” the next day – as if it is like eating a fatty burger or greasy French fries. Before you request your server to “hold the heat,” you might want to consider that this fiery fire could actually be good for you.

Cayenne Pepper can help with everything from gastrointestinal issues to blood pressure, ear infections, and even weight loss! It is also high in vitamin A, E, C, B6, K, and manganese. Just two teaspoons of cayenne pepper provide 47% of the daily value for vitamin A. Oh, and it just might stop a heart attack in its tracks! Read the rest of this entry »

10 anti-aging benefits of water

We all know that water is an extremely important nutrient for survival. But besides keeping us alive or just quenching our thirst, it can do a number of things in our bodies to help fight the aging process.

Many experts say the average person should drink about 64 ounces of water per day. Other experts say you should drink 1/2 ounce for every 1 pound of body weight to account for all the water loss through the consumption of coffee, alcohol etc. Regardless of the number you use, the sad truth is most of us do not consume nearly enough water throughout the day to really reap the tremendous benefits that clean, fresh water can give us.

The Top 20 Excuses Why New Year’s Resolutions to Lose Weight End in Failure

By Nick Nilsson

It’s no secret that New Year’s Resolutions generally don’t last
very long… have YOU used any these excuses?

January is New Year’s Resolution time. Lose weight, gain weight, quit smoking, start smoking, get rich, spend more time working and less time with their families…you name it, people resolve to do it.

Yet how many people actually succeed with their resolutions?

According to a statistic I just made up, 75% of people fail to keep their New Year’s Resolutions. That number is even higher with weight loss resolutions.

Why, you ask?

Well, here are my Top 20 Excuses Why New Year’s Resolutions to Lose Weight End in Failure...

20. I wasn’t getting enough to eat on ONE diet so I had to go on THREE.

19. Its winter and I need the extra insulation to keep me warm.

18. I went to the gym and somebody was on my machine so I realized everything happens for a reason and it wasn’t meant to be.

17. I went to the gym and there was no lifeguard on duty in case the rowing machine sank. I complained to the manager but they threw me out.

16. Turns out I didn’t really mean it.

15. My other resolution to quit being a cranky jerk all the time wasn’t compatible with my low-carb diet.

14. There was a big game on…Wheel of Fortune is a game, right?

13. My DVR broke so I couldn’t fast-forward past all the food commercials.

12. I figured since rice cakes don’t have many calories, the same was true of other cakes. Like fudge cake. And pancakes. With syrup. And fudge.

11. My personal trainer called and said if I didn’t show up for my session on Friday, don’t bother showing up on Monday. Woohoo! 4 day weekend!

10. No ashtrays on the treadmills at the gym. How do they expect me stay on that thing for an hour without a cigarette break? It’s not like that little TV can keep my mind off how painful and boring it is to hammer away on that thing at 1.2 mph for 60 minutes.

9. Krispy Kreme hasn’t come out with an Olestra-filled donut (that they’ve told us, at least…I have my suspicions).

8. They haven’t come out with a Mighty Putty strong enough to keep my mouth shut at the all-you-can-eat buffet.

7. The economy is in such rough shape, it’s hard to afford the new clothes I’ll have to buy as I get smaller so it’ll have to wait until I get a bailout.

6. I have to buy junk foods “for the kids” even though they don’t really need that stuff either and I don’t actually HAVE any kids or KNOW any kids.

5. I messed up and ate a chip on Day 2 so I gave up until next January’s resolution season.

4. I need to get in better shape before I can join a gym…to get in better shape.

3. I made a resolution to give up drinking so I could lose weight but I did it while I was drunk so I forgot.

2. I don’t want to insult my co-workers by not eating birthday cake at the office every single day, even when I have to bring it myself.

1. I’m waiting for President Obama to lose the weight for me.

More Thoughts from Mellisa McJunkin – Health and Wellness Advocate

Question: What are you without an immune system?
Answer: You are dead.

As morbid as it may sound, it’s true. When your immune system is weak you will get sick. When your immune system completely fails you will die.
