I am not a researcher who polls people or takes information from studies and analyzes it, but I love to read. You can read anything on the internet and some of it is true and factual and some of it is not. So, If an idea seems true or rings true to me I have a tendency to believe it. You cannot count on my ideas being scientifically proven because they are not by me. That is my disclaimer. However, I have lived a long time and experienced a lot of life and those things I believe I share freely.
I read an article recently about gratitude being the emotion or mindset that carries the highest healthy vibes. I loved the thought of healing through thoughts and packed it away in my memory to mull over during the season. What are healthy vibes? This paradigm of healing views the body as one complex, self-regulating, whole system. This body has the ability to heal if it is given all that it needs. NASA uses vibration therapy to help prevent bone loss in astronauts. They aren't the only ones who use that, I do as well, but that is not what is referred to here. Every cell of our body vibrates and every substance has it's own frequency. Using the healing frequencies is a great way to heal and re-balance the systems. Now take that knowledge and apply it to gratitude.
We do have control over our thoughts and we can control our emotions. Sometimes it is hard to do, but we can do it. Because we all want to be healthy, it is a really good idea to practice gratitude every day. We will become a better person, and people, and we will become more healthy as well. Say you have a devastating disease. According to this thought, do you have anything to lose by practicing gratitude? I think we all have a lot to gain by practicing gratitude.
We have just celebrated Thanksgiving which is a national holiday where I live. There are some historic roots to this celebration of being thankful, but even if you don't have that you can find a reason to be thankful for something even if it is only life itself. When it is cold, which I really do not like, I feel gratitude for the bitter cold days because of the benefits of cold. If we have at least 43 days of cold temperatures a year the apples and peaches and many fruit trees will set on a better crop the next year. If we have a cold winter many of the insects that plague us will die off and we won't have so many to deal with the next summer. No matter where you live and what your circumstances, it is possible to find something to be grateful for each day.
Try focusing your thoughts on gratitude and see if you experience a higher level of health in your life. A great way to help heal your body is to think healthy thoughts. You are what you think, so think gratitude and heal through healthy thinking,

Turmeric and Inflamation
It has been a pain filled week for me. I might sit a bit too long and then standing up straight was so slow. I began to wonder if I would just stay bent. Slowly, slowly, I have to straighten out my back. Then put my neck on properly. Last would be aligning my legs so they are under me in the proper position to go forward. Is this what not having turmeric in my diet does to me?
I once read an article telling about not sitting to long. In this article people learn that one must get up and walk around every 20 minutes to retain mobility. If you want to live healthy and stay mobile you must do this to have quality life as you age. This is especially true when you work at a desk. When I concentrate on what I am doing I just plain forget to get up and walk around. So I got an exercise ball to sit at my desk on. That does help a lot. But I still should stand up more often.
A couple of weeks ago I was talking to a chiropractor in our town. We both are getting up there in years and it gets harder and harder to move freely. The good doctor pantomimed how older people walk. He bent his back forward in an unforgiving bend and moved forward as he clumped his feet down hard one after the other. "You see," he said, "Older folks lose the feeling in their feet and they must step this way to know they are on firm ground." Note to self: Is this inflammation?
What do I do for the stiffness when I try to stand up? Well, I do a variety of things. I think the very best thing I have found is turmeric. You see, turmeric truly is a super food. However it is not so good if you try to make it stand alone. Turmeric contains cur-cumin which helps with inflammation. The trick is to get your body to absorb it. You can eat it by the tons and it will pass right through you and do you no good. That is right, if it doesn't get through your digestion and into your blood it will do you no good at all. Some authors say you have to have black pepper and some kind of oil with the cur-cumin to make it absorb. Some say you need black pepper extract and CoQ10 with it to make it work.
Through the past year the articles we read tell us to use turmeric with black pepper and coconut oil to help memory, joints, digestion. I believe in super foods but can this really be a cure all? What about my heart? Can this concoction help with that and low energy? Maybe it can. People in India use a lot of this spice in their food. Lots of people are getting on the wagon to take cur-cumin. My own mother believed it helped her not hurt so much. So last night I got out my bottle of ease and that helped me sleep much better. When I read the label one of the ingredients was cur-cumin. So, there you have it. In what ever form, it is worth a try. However, I think I will add black pepper and coconut oil and take it with my CoQ10.

Is Inflammation helped with Turmeric?
Wow, did I ever feel old when he said those things. I know I have numbness in my leg and feet. Question to self: Is it inflammation or is it numbness? But I don't think I step that firmly along. I will have to pay more attention to the way I walk. However, I really relate to needing to know that I am on firm ground. The past few years I am getting more and more unsure of my balance. It might be my numbness but I don't think I can fix that. Inflammation? Maybe! What I can do is bounce on a mini trampoline. Just bouncing for 10 minutes helps move the lymph in my legs so I don't feel restless legs.What do I do for the stiffness when I try to stand up? Well, I do a variety of things.
