Leave Your Shoes At The Front Door
Leave your shoes at the front door, because you don't want to track dirt, dust, feces, chemicals and pesticides throughout your house. If you are wearing your shoes in the house those are just some of the things that are on your carpets and floors. You might say to yourself," I have my carpet cleaned", or "I wash my floors". You cannot do that enough, because you are continually walking through your home with your shoes on spreading that filth around daily. You would have to clean your carpet and wash your floors every single day. Who has time to do that?
We are fighting germs every single day. No one wants these things in their homes. Removing your shoes is a great way to keep those things right where they belong. Outside!
Wearing shoes in the house has become convenient, because people don't want to take the time even to remove their shoes. Doing things, because they are convenient aren't always good reasons to do them. As we have learned with our eating habits.
If you just have to wear shoes in the house get some house shoes or slippers that you only wear in the house and not outside. Ask people who visit your home also, to remove their shoes. If they ask you why. Give them the above reasons. You may also want to have a sign made and post it on a wall right beside the door. That way a person cannot miss it.

There Is No Quick Way To Healing
Is there a quick way to heal from sickness? If there is one, I'd really like to know about it. This is a question everyone has on their minds. There is no overnight cure for sickness. Our bodies are not like vehicles. When something is not working properly, we take it to the shop get it fixed, and than we are good to go. It takes time for the body to heal, and there is no quick way. It's the same for losing weight too.
That's the reason why many people opt to have surgery. They figure they go in get operated on have this replaced, this liposuctioned, or this removed. Sure, they know they will be down for a little while, but in the back of their minds they believe it is much faster, than putting the effort into changing their lifestyle. What the doctors don't tell them is they have not solved the problem, and in a couple of years or maybe months they will be right back where they started from or even in worse shape. Another fact to consider is all surgeries are not successful, and some are irreversible.
Let me explain myself because, I don't want people to get the wrong impression. I don't think surgery is bad, because it has saved many people's lives when done for the right reasons. However, I don't think surgery should be the first option on the list, and more so because one does not want to make lifestyle changes. Also, I believe surgery has become an epidemic especially here in the United States. It seems that no one is even looking at alternative solutions anymore.
I've seen first hand that it takes time to heal and there is no quick method. My mom's friend husband found out he had rectal cancer this past May. His wife had been telling him for years that he should start eating healthier. He would never listen to her. He continued to eat at fast food restaurants, and loads of junk food. He would cook for the family, and of course the food that he cooked did not qualify as being healthy. Even after he found out that he was sick it was a struggle for him to change his eating habits. Friends were concerned too, and they let him know about it.
My mom's friend and her husband continued going to the doctor. The doctors told him that he would need surgery to remove the cancer. They told him the worse case scenario would be that he would have to get a colostomy bag. My Mom's friend told my mom that they would were going to look at some alternative solutions in the mean time. Her husband was still having a hard time making the necessary lifestyle changes he needed to help him fight this cancer. A friend wanted to put him on a natural health program. He refused.
He decided to go ahead and have the surgery which was scheduled in July. He had the surgery. The doctor told my mom's friend (his wife) that it was the worse case scenario. They had to remove his anal sphincter. Therefore he would now have to have a colostomy bag for the rest of his life. It was not the news he or the family wanted to hear.
Now, he has to make lifestyle changes, and it is not easy. I don't think he thought it was going to be the worse case scenario. I think he thought he was going to go in and have the surgery, and in a few months he was going to be back to living the unhealthy lifestyle that probably got him in that way in the first place. It would have been easier if he had went ahead and made those changes in the beginning.
It's not a quick fix to anything, and you shouldn't want one regarding your health. Don't wait until you get sick to start making the health changes you need to. Regardless, of what the doctor or anyone else tells you. The fact of the matter is there is no quick way to healing.

Avoid Products With GMO With The GMO Shopping Guide
We have been hearing GMO for a while now, and the reasons that we should not be eating products that are GMO'd. The main products that are usually GMO's include: Corn, Soybeans, Canola, and Cottonseed. Buying organic is the best way that we can avoid GMO because, they are not allowed to use GMO.
I know this is a lot to process right now, and you are probably thinking to yourself. Dang, what can I eat? Is everything trying to kill me? This is a normal reaction, but you have to take into consideration that you are lucky enough to receive this information, because some people don't get it at all or until it is too late. You should look for Non GMO Labels. A Non GMO Label means that the product does not contain GMO. If you are not sure if a product contains GMO or not you should contact the company and see what the company says. It is so important to read the ingredients list. Everyone should do so before purchasing products these days. It is very important that we know what is going into our bodies. Than, if we do get sick, (I pray that no one does) we can have an idea as to knowing what and how to fight the disease. Again, knowing this information and acting on it can hopefully, protect us from getting sick.
Hopefully, by not purchasing products that have GMO in it we can force companies to not use GMO. Why should we give our money to companies that don't have our best interest at hand?
Here is the the GMO Shopping Guide. The GMO Shopping guide gives you a list of companies that use GMO and companies that don't use GMO. It is a very extensive list. You can get it for free. You can download the shopping guide, and it is also in pdf form. Please share this information with your friends and family. You can print the shopping guide out and take it with you to the grocery store so you can know what foods to purchase and what foods to avoid.
One of these days soon I hope to be able to have a small garden so I can grow my own food, because that is what it is coming too. No one can care more about you, your family, and your friends health more than you do.
