I read a quote the other day that said something like “People wish and hope and pray for a long life but don’t know what to do with a simple free afternoon” And how true that is. We have many friends that just have to be out and going all the time.
We don’t have much free time in the canyon – but that isn’t a negative thing to us – because working and being busy – foo fooing around the canyon – is what we LOVE.
Our day starts about 4am for me and about 6-7am for the geezer and we usually stop about 3-4pm.
At that time – we take a break together over iced tea and chat about our day and what all we accomplished and what’s on for tomorrow and we take our best shot at coming up with what WE feel would solve some of the world’s problems.
But even then, the day still isn’t over for me because then it’s time to get supper and tidy the kitchen.
After supper – I feed the wildlife again, do blog traffic for the evening and I’m finally showered, shampooed and plopped down in my jammies by about 7pm – ready for a leisurely evening with Geezer and my favorite time of the day 🙂
Sophia Loren once said
“There is a fountain of youth and it’s in our minds and our talents and our creativity that we bring to our life and the lives of the people we love. And when we learn to tap into this – we will truly have defeated age”
Goodness – I’ve always thought Sophia Loren was so gorgeous – but looking at this photo more closely – she is REALLY needing some egg white facials and a rice milk mask and even some coconut oil daily … she has TONS of wrinkles and those eye lashes aren’t fooling ANY of us. She should wash that face and use a few natural anti aging things from the kitchen and see if she can’t age backwards just a tad.
But you opened this blog today hoping for a doable secret to the fountain of youth, didn’t you?
The secret to anti aging is in our hearts and our minds but yes we DO have to do a few things to keep us healthy along the way.
Like eating right and healthy and getting plenty of exercise and there are just a few supplements that we just won’t do without in the canyon.
4 Steps to Anti Aging – CoQ10
We’re never without CoQ10
4 Steps to Anti Aging – Red Yeast Rice
Then there’s Red Yeast Rice
One of the 4 Steps to Anti Aging is Milk Thistle
Milk Thistle – Let me tell ya a little story about milk thistle. Back in the fall of 1999 I was playing piano for a church revival in Pope County. I was having horrific pains in my upper right side that week and each night … I would think “I just can’t GO tonight” But I’d go and after the song service I’d sit and hold my belt to my slacks out trying to see if that would give me some relief. Dr Patel was running this test and that one on me that week … and finding nothing. Finally he did an ultrasound and found my gallbladder was only functioning at 20%.
He said “It NEEDS to come out – but I know YOU and I know you don’t want surgery” So you have a choice – surgery asap or get in your voo doo books and see if you can get it to die down with your quackery :8)
I said “I’ll try the voo doo first” SO I came home and hit my books. And I called Judy Lindberg McFarland – a well known holistic health advocate and someone who has helped many. She lives in California and used to be on PTL and other religious programs talking about her natural healing store and how supplements worked to heal things doctors couldn’t. I had worked with her before helping others – and she is SO friendly. She said “Take
Milk Thistle
about 3 times a day and get good 1,000mg milk thistle” I did and within days – I was good as new.
Two weeks ago yesterday – I started having the gall bladder problems again and I was worried because it was feeling like it was inflating and that thing can burst you know – and you’re in big trouble if it does. FINALLY – it dawned on me to take Milk Thistle and I’m telling you the truth – after just one caplet that pressure started easing up. Now I still have a little tinge and I’ve only been on the Milk Thistle about 3 days now – but I think this is going to get me through AGAIN! PRAISE THE LORD!!!
And here’s another miracle story about Milk Thistle and the liver and gallbladder.
There’s a man from our church who was on his deathbed in ICU with Cirrhosis and his mom called to ask me to send Bro Shawn over. I told her he’d be right there (because with Bro Shawn – if you had an emergency – he’d put his life on hold NOW and come to you asap) but I told this grown man’s mom to go get him some Milk Thistle and get it down him any way she could. He was up and going in 2 days and that old rascal is a walking talking jabber box TODAY. When he went back for a checkup a while back he said the doctor asked him what in the world he did to turn his cirrhosis around and he said “There’s this goofy little quack of a medicine woman at church and she gave me milk thistle” 🙂 He’s on about his 3rd year of good health since that bad scare …
And Milk Thistle isn’t just good for cirrhosis – it’s good for diabetics, because it will help your body metabolize sugar and all high carbs better. It’s good for the immune system and just many things. If your liver isn’t healthy – YOU are not going to be healthy. So I highly recommend everybody with fatty liver, diabetes, cirrhosis and anything to do with liver and gallbladder – get on Milk Thistle asap. And I recommend the NOW brand and you can click here.
4 Steps to Anti Aging – Carrot Juice
Carrot Juice: If we could take only one thing – I think I’d pick carrot juice. It is just such a super antioxidant. It builds up the immune system and is just good for the whole body. AND will give you beautiful skin, hair and natural nails. You can rest assured you’re doing pretty good when you go to a professional dermatologist and they ask YOU what you’re using on your skin. And you say “I drink carrot juice and use Royal Bee Skin Healing Cream
Makes you feel a little goofy to say that – but look at the money you save over those $50 anti wrinkle creams and all of that makeup foo foo.
You just won’t believe the difference you will see in your skin after the first use of Royal Bee Skin Healing Cream!
Ok I’ve gone way too long again we’ll do more on this subject soon.
Peace and love from the canyon and I love you all gobs. Thanks so much for stopping by!
