    Essential Tips for Staying Hydrated Year-Round

    Staying hydrated is important. Luckily, there are some essential tips for staying hydrated year-round, from consuming more fruits and vegetables to replenishing your body after exercise. If you follow these tips, you’ll notice positive changes in your body. Consume Your Fruits and Vegetables There are many ways to stay hydrated year-round besides drinking water. Most fruits and vegetables contain high amounts of water. For example, cucumbers have the highest water content of around 96 percent. Leafy greens contain 90 percent, and apples contain 80 percent water. So instead of relying on caffeine for energy, increase your fruit and vegetable intake to boost energy and hydration. Focus on Increasing Hydration Staying hydrated year-round involves being consistent with your water intake. While adults should drink at least eight cups of water a day, drinking more than that can bring many benefits, such as better focus and mood.

This extra hydration will help you stay hydrated during summer when temperatures climb higher and your body exerts more sweat. Add Hydration and…

    Thank you GEM Vitamins!!  NOW! I can offer the Little Peanuts 50% OFF!!!!!!!!!!! Click HERE!!! I’ve mentioned before that I have some MEGA pain in my hands, elbows, neck and back.

Some of you have way, way worse than I do. I’m telling you this aging thing is NOT for sissies! What I’ve Tried I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow the 22nd. Hopefully, I can get some answers! Of course, Idaho being IDAHO we are in the middle of a snow squall. So, MAYBE I have a doctor’s appointment tomorrow. I’ve tried so many things. From Turmeric with ginger supplements, glucosamine, Osteo BiFlex, Vitamin D, Fish Oil, Omega 3’s, Aleve, Advil, Tylenol, heat, and ice. Stretching, I even bought myself the Teeter (you know that inverter contraption that stretches you? While you are upside down?) it’s awesome. But it doesn’t help with this pain. I’ve tried all the different pop-ups that I find on Instagram. The Mushroom gummies…… all of it. (CAN we…

  • Mercola Vitamin E GIVEAWAY!!

    This giveaway has ended. Check the sidebar at the right for my $50 Your Way Giveaway. Vitamin E has to be one of the best vitamins available, it’s versatile, it’s amazing and it’s good for me. NOW, with that said you have to be careful which Vitamin E you take. Most companies use soy as their source of Vitamin E. You also have to be careful that the Vitamin E isn’t genetically engineered.   Mercola’s Vitamin E is made with sunflowers, which is a natural source of Vitamin E. I also found out that Mercola’s Vitamin E has eight nutrients in their Vitamin E which is so important to a healthy diet. The Mercola website has so much information about vitamin E supplements, stuff I had NO idea about!!  Did you know that if your vitamin e only contains alpha tocopherol (synthetic or natural), that’s a big no no?? If high levels of alpha tocopherol flood your system, it can potentially deplete the other tocopherols and tocotrienols from your body… I had NO idea!! Mercola’s Vitamin E supplement provides a fantastic balance of all four tocopherol and tocotrienol compounds… Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopherol) – 200 international units (IU) Tocopherol complex – 150 milligrams…
