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.
