In this day of fast foods and “want it now” culture we may find ourselves consuming too much in the the way of refined carbohydrates…As for me, I’m not big on sodas, but carrot cake, oatmeal cookies and apple pie are my weakness.  Frankly, I will “walk a mile” for a scrumptious oatmeal cookie. 

I find the key is maintaining a balance…no extremes…

So regarding refined carbohydrates sources such as soda, candy, fruit juice (yes, even fruit juice), jam and syrups can elevate and cause cause drops in your blood sugar. 

When  your blood is effected it may cause you to feel irritable and tired. Breads and pastries, such as crackers, bagels, rice white bread, made from refined flour, can produce the same effect because of the quick break down into our digestive system which forms blood sugar. 

Bottom line whole grain foods which digest slower because of the higher fiber content don’t reek havoc on our blood sugar and support blood sugar stability.

So the next time you say,  “yes” (or we say yes) to that slice of pie, cake, cookies and or candy…remember moderation is the key….or better yet, opt for the whole grain replacement.

To your excellent health,

Question does menopausal symptoms have you “dragging” and feeling less than your usual self?  Are you suffering from the dreaded hot flashes or other not menopausal discomforts? If your answer is yes to both questions let me introduce you to an herb for hot flashes that may bring you the relief you deserve.

LIFEROOT HERB RELIEVE HOT FLASH MISERY!

The herb is Liferoot.  If you have never heard of this herb before now then join the club, so to speak, because I had no knowledge of the herb until I began my research on natural hot flash remedies. 

This is what I’ve learned from my research and now I want to share the information with you. So here’s a bit about this herb. The herb is a perennial wild flower species of the daisy family of plants.  Liferoot is a native North American species of the daisy family and has an extensive history as an herbal treatment for a variety of gynecological disorders. 

From my research I gathered that Native Americans, namely the Catawba women, used the herb as a tea for women facing the pains of childbirth and to hasten labor.  Also the colonist used the herb for similar purposes as a “female regulator,” so to speak.

 Liferoot has been commonly used for menstrual problems and menopausal discomforts.

Menopause is brought on by low levels of estrogen and progesterone and can cause symptoms such as irregular periods, hot flashes, vaginal dryness, memory loss and difficulty concentrating, insomnia and fatigue, frequent urination, and mood swings.

Many women going through the change of life opt for menopause natural remedies for various reasons. Most women choose menopause natural remedies because they are worried about the adverse-side effects of conventional medicine.

Women who experience vaginal dryness often use estrogen creams or Vitamin E.

Vitamin E can be found abundantly in cucumbers, asparagus, mackerel, haddock, lamb, kale, liver, brown rice, safflower oil, sesame oil, almonds, and mangoes. Vitamin E is good in aiding vaginal dryness, but if you have rheumatic heart disease or a history of high blood pressure it should not be taken in excess.
