Glycemic Index

On Monday I am having a consult with a homeopath and have given a lot of thought to the approach I want to take to my personal health and wellness as well as sharing that with others. I believe we all need a different approach to health and well-being. Our society is focused on disease-based medicine. I believe that optimal health needs to focus on preventive healthcare. It’s this approach that I am taking.

I have learned that about age 30, we begin to lose 1% to 3% of our hormones. And by the time we reach 40, we start feeling the increasing negative impact this difference causes—often complaining of having no energy, becoming apathetic, which extends to our work, sex life and social life. (I hear this from male and female clients all the time!) What do we do? Of course we blame these feelings on “getting older.”

Women also tend to feeeeeeeeeeeeeel a sense of loss, feeling life isn’t what it once was. Many also experience weight gain, difficulty sleeping, forgetting things, feeeeeeeeeeeeeling unclear in their thinking, having emotional swings, feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeling anxious, becoming irritable, lossing skin elasticity, becoming less productive at work, having aches, pains and stiffness.

When you have someone willing to look at your total picture of health —not just a snapshot— deficiencies can be identified and corrected. Great news, yes?

I choose to have the best opportunity for a more vigorous and healthy life. As a firm believer in the science of age management medicine and my desire to be placed in the lowest possible risk category for disease—particularly heart disease, cancer, stroke, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and Alzheimer’s disease—and my desire to extend my health span, I have become a user of a product that is creating more health and wellness within me.

I can't say I understand the glycemic index fully - I do know you can get more information at www.gylcemicindex.com- I see how eating a lower gylcemic index has made me feeeeeeeeeeeeeel better mentally and physically. It has also gotten my husband Mark close to normal blood sugar numbers instead of being high and being considered for higher doses of medications to control his diabetes. I must say his doctor is puzzled! Of course he is puzzled, he only knows how to prescribe medication and doesn't practice preventitive health!

After all, without health, what kind of life, if any, will you have?Learn what over 300,000 people worldwide already know!
