The New Happy!!

It is no mystery that we are living in a very high stress world. Many of us no longer strive for a perfect happy life, now many of us are striving for a more peaceful life. Instead of stress and anxiety we want, and need peace in our life for our healthy, mental, emotional and physical. Below are some tips for a calm and peace filled lifestyle.
Plan for the Next Day-Every night, I set out my outfit, pack my lunch, and set everything out for the next day. This way the next morning, my day does not start out stressed and rushed. It helps to set the whole day on the right foot.
Exercise-Make time to be active, no matter your level. Even if you aren't into going to the gym, you can still be active by walking around the block, dancing in your kitchen, playing with your kids. Being active will help ease anxiety and relieve stress, and if done often enough can help with getting in shape and improve your health.
Listen to Music-Music has the power to move us, take us to a different place. It can transform our mood, and inspire us to move past our stress and anxiety.
Be a Kid Again-Enjoy the simple things in life, like being outside, blowing bubbles, and laughing with friends. 
Dont Try for Perfect- Striving for perfection can put an incredible amount of pressure and stress on you. Sometimes the dishes don't get done, and not everything gets checked off the to do list, and that's okay. If you let go of the need for everything to be perfect, you will be happier in the long run. In the end, its more important to spend a little more time with your loved ones, than getting everything done today.

Simple Tips for Eating Healthy & GMO free!!

Lately I have been trying to educate those around me how to eat, and shop for groceries healthy and safe.The hard truth is the FDA, aka the people in this country that decide what goes on the shelves at the grocery store, or on your restaurant table, do NOT give a crap about us or our health. In fact the crooks at the FDA allow foods in this country that are banned in many countries in Europe. Foods, that have shown to cause many disease such as kidney and liver disease, cancer, stroke and even DEATH. So what do you do when your country doesn't care about you or your health?-Well you learn to shop smart. Below are some of my most simple shopping tips!

  • Avoid the Inner Aisles-Basically means do not eat anything processed. You try to stick to fresh fruits, veggies, and meat. If you must buy something out of those aisles, do research on what is GMO and Monsanto free before going to the store. Also check the sodium, the problem with a lot of packaged goods, is they are jammed packed with sodium. A lot of sodium can cause a range of health problems, and weight gain.
  • Fruits/Veggies-The problem with fruits and veggies is that they can have a lot of chemicals and pesticides too. If you can afford to buy all your fruits and veggies, organic, go for it. But for the rest of us, who can not, there are a few tips you can follow to help you stay healthy. When buying fruits and veggies, buy organic when you eat the skin, or there is no skin, such as apples, strawberries, squash, broccoli (make sure to still wash everything well). When you do not eat the skin, you can buy regular because it has a protective skin. Fruits and Veggies such as oranges, watermelon, pineapple, and corn you can buy non-organic. Also eat local, that way you know exactly where your produce is coming from, and if its small enough, it should have no links to Monsanto. 
  • Safe Meat- Again if you can afford organic, DO IT. Make sure you choose meats, fish, and poultry that is hormone-free, and grass-fed. A lot of the meats that allowed in this country by the FDA are deemed poisonous and pumped with hormones that are linked to cancer. Its best to do your research on what meats are safe, local and do not contain those hormones. Again if you have a local farm, that you can buy meat from, that's best because those are usually the safest meats. Do your research and see if you have a local farm or butcher you can purchase from.
  • Dairy- Make sure to only purchase dairy that is hormone free. Some US dairy farms inject the genetically engineered hormone rbGH, also called rbST, into their cows to boost milk production. There are now many dairy products with labels that indicate they do not use rbGH or rbST. Their cows may still be fed GM feed. Organic dairy products are, however, all rbGH-free and do not use GM grains as feed. Choose brands that are enrolled in the the Non-GMO Project Standard. Brands such as Brown Cow, Blue Diamond, NOW Real Food, Organic Valley, and StoneyField.
  • Avoid GMO/Monsanto- Monsanto is responsible for introducing GMOs into the marketplace, and in turn are responsible for countless deaths, because of the poisons that they sell to people, knowing full well that it will cause diseases such as cancer, and eventually death. Avoiding any products, and produce made from Monsanto, is the key to better health, and longevity. Now not all the foods are going to say Monsanto or GMO on it, so its important to know who Monsanto has links to and avoid products from those companies too. See the list below.

Lastly, many are currently pushing for GMO labeling on all foods, meaning that if a food contains GMO it MUST be labeled as such. Hopefully soon that will become a reality, so we know exactly what we are consuming. To sign such a petition, click on this link Take Action. Its our right to know what we are eating, and to make a choice for our health, lets stand up to the FDA and make sure they know what they are doing is so beyond wrong.
