Watching My Health
Lately I have been doing a lot of research on vitamins and minerals and how they can affect your health. For instance, did you know that not all vitamins and minerals are real? Many of the cheap ones that we buy to save money, actually contain chemicals and other additives that are not good for our bodies.
So, since I have started the research, my eyes have been open to a whole new world. I've been doing better and watching what I've been eating and I've been exercising more with walking and yoga.
One of the problems that I found out I had later in life is a heart murmur. While it can be common it a lot of people it does cause concern for me since I've been having a lot of chest pain lately and heart disease runs in my family. So, when I do anything beyond normal walking, I am extremely out of breath. Even 5 minutes of yoga will leave me gasping for air.
Sometimes when I can hear and feel my heart rate shoot up, I'm able to count how fast my heart is beating. Other times I can't even tell, even when I check for a pulse on my neck or wrist. It's just very faint and not really there.
One of the products I just discovered is what's known as a pulse oximeter. This little gadget can tell you how fast your pulse is beating per a minute. Neat idea and great for anyone wanting to keep an eye on their heart rate before and after working out!
The only downfall I saw was the price. I don't know too many people who would be willing to spend nearly $200 for one of those little gadgets! They do have one for less than $50 which is better as far as price range, but if you're on a budget like me, you'll probably be thinking twice on purchasing one! Still, it's a cool idea, especially if you're able to afford one.

Research in the Making
Sometimes life deals us a pretty shitty hand. Sometimes more often than not. Yet despite it all, we move on and keep living our lives as we have done since the dawn of time. It's a natural habit that we have and probably always will have. For women it's even more so. We are the rock that picks up the pieces when our loved ones fall. We support our spouses until the end no matter what the consequences may bring and we give all that we can to this insane world and our loved ones that are a part of it.
C'elle Research is one of the many worthy causes that women have taken an interest in. They provide research through the use of menstrual fluid to open up the possibilities of a better tomorrow. What if C'elle could use that fluid to treat life-affecting disorders like diabetes, stroke or heart disease? Or heal wounds such as burns or permanent scarring? Would you give to the cause? Would you become a part of their research?
If not, why? If so, what are you waiting for? You could chance a life you know. You could become a part of something spectacular. You could bring a simple smile to someone who has lost hope. You could be someone’s hero.
Please Visit: http://www.celle.com For more information on how you can become someone's hero. Be a part of something spectacular. Be a hero.

Eating Raw Oysters Safely
Usually when it comes to food, my tastes vary. Some may call me weird and others, picky. One of my favorite foods is sushi and with it, raw oysters. The first time I tried raw oysters was about 10 years ago in New Jersey. What's sad is I can't even tell you exactly where because I've forgotten most of that part of my life. After my first experience with raw oysters and of course sushi, I was hooked.
It wasn't until recently however, that I learned that consuming things like raw Gulf oysters can be actually dangerous. Eating raw oysters can actually lead to a disease known as Vibrio vulnificus.
If you love raw oysters as I do, you will definitely want to visit beoysteraware.com and learn more about Vibrio vulnificus.
If you're concerned about the disease, take a look at Be Oyster Aware's information on Post-Harvest Processes. The post-harvest process is a new technology developed by Gulf Coast oyster processors who are assuring that when we eat raw oysters, we stand less of a chance of contracting Vibrio vulnificus.
I know since I've become familiar with beoysteraware.com, I've been a little more cautious about my love for raw oysters. I don't believe anyone should have the right to tell you what you can and cannot eat when it comes to food, but there's no reason they can't share what they know about foods. Check them out....

Osyter Awareness. Get the Facts.
Have you ever felt like the joke's on you? Well, I bet this mom-to-be Oyster did. Enjoy!
A father-to-be anxiously awaits the birth of his first child, but to his shock his wife gives birth to a baby crab. Quickly his wife looks up at him and says, "I'm sorry. I meant to tell you." To which he angrily replies, "You've been down at that crab shack eating crabs without me, again haven't you?"
If you're like me and love raw oysters, you may not even be thinking about the serious dangers of eating them raw. Oysters like, Gulf oysters can be very dangerous for some people. They can carry Vibrio vulnificus, a disease that can cause serious illness in some people.
An easy way to avoid the disease is by making sure you eat cooked oysters rather than raw ones. If you're like me however, eating cooked verses raw is easier said than done. So if this is the case, please at least educate yourself through Be Oyster Aware's website and get the real facts about consuming raw oysters. It could save your life.
