I received this product for free from Moms Meet (momsmeet.com) to use and post my honest opinions. Compensation for this post was provided and this page may contain affiliate links. Have you ever been out and about and been hit with nausea out of the blue? I have. Not pretty. Nothing happened (or rather cem up) but I was pretty miserable for a time. I don't get nauseous often but when I do I would give anything to have something safe on hand to relieve the feeling. And quick! I was recently sent Sea-Band Mama!, Sea-Band Original, and Sea-Band for Children products to … [Read more...]
Swimming as a Cardio Exercise for the Whole family
Early this summer my husband proposed taking swimming classes as a family. I was not amused. It's no secret that swimming is not my favorite sport. Although I did spend a lot of my free time at the local swim club when I was a child. And again as a teen. Learning the rudimentary basics of swimming is something I've never done. I've always been fascinated that people can keep their heads above water when their feet can't touch. And how they move effortlessly through the water with simple arm and leg movements. Since swimming is great cardio exercise, something I desperately need to … [Read more...]
Restore for Health: Another Gut Health Review from @Momsmeet
For the past month I have again sacrificed my body and health to review this, new to me, product for you (you're welcome). It's called Restore for Health As I age (don't we all) I've come to realize that a lot of how we feel is based on what we put in our mouths. That goes for food and supplements. Many years ago a work colleague tried to sell me on a brand of vitamins by telling me about all the minerals depleted from our soils. At the time I looked at him like he was crazy but in these past few years of small space gardening and recognizing the difference in home grown, organic, local, … [Read more...]
Healthy Grocery Shopping, Even if You’re on a Budget
Is there some trick to Healthy Grocery Shopping when you have a limited budget? A lot of people love the idea of healthy foods and would grocery shop for healthier foods in a heartbeat if their budgets allowed it. It is true that healthy or organic foods can cost considerably more than your regular grocery store food. It's a detterent to purchasing only organic food. Especially when you have a family to feed. The one glimmer of hope is that healthier food options are becoming more affordable as they becomes more popular. But still, the prices aren't low enough for many people. How can … [Read more...]
Make Learning How to be Healthier Part of Your To Do List
Is Learning How to be Healthier on Your To-Do list? Learning how to live a healthier lifestyle is always one of those things that's always on my radar. I've learned a lot over the years but there's still a lot I don't know. Discovering an allergy to soy in my 20's put me on a fast track to better health but since my only goal was to eliminate soy there was still a lot I left out. Through the years I've learned more and applied more of healthier living to my life and that of myfamily. But one of the problems is that becoming healthier is more than just one thing. It encompasses … [Read more...]
MegaFood Kids Nutrient Booster Powders : A #MomsMeet Product Review
Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product and post my honest opinion on my blog. The opinions posted are my own. When it comes to vitamins I'm in the camp of, "they are a good thing". My 90+ year old grandmother introduced me to the healing properties of vitamins over 20 years ago when I broke out severely from a food allergy and found my immune system needed a reboot. Pretty much everyone in my immediate and extended family takes vitamins. We have seen what good they can do so I was excited when … [Read more...]
A Little Bit About Kombucha and It’s Benefits
*This post contains affiliate links I first heard about Kombucha from my aunt several years. She's what I'll call semi-healthy. Really into her supplements but that's kind of where it ends. But she knew her Kombucha. She mostly prescribes it for colds. Why? I don't know why and I don't know why it works but it does. Kombucha is one of the fermented foods touted to be good for digestive health. It is very popular these days and chances are you can find many bottled varieties at your local store and even some on tap. Here is what I know about Kombucha: Kombucha is called a "mushroom … [Read more...]
What’s Not to Love About Flaxseed?
I don't often write a health post. But I should. I feel like I am still learning SO MUCH about a healthy lifestyle myself that what can I possibly have to share? But I should probably change that because in my home we're after optimum health. We're not wonderful at it but we work at it and I talk about it A LOT IRL (in real life). So I should share with you online too. Right? First off my disclaimer. I'm not a doctor. I don't make any claims. You should check with your own health practitioner do what is right for you! Flaxseed has been the subject du' jour in my extended family (I'm … [Read more...]
How to Add More Walking into Your Day
My little family and I have been taking an early morning walk the last couple of weeks for health and energy (is that part of health?). It's a good way to wake up for the work day and the school day and it helps us build an appetite for a good breakfast. We get up early, wash up, dress, and I'm on my feet and my daughter is on her bike. When dad can join us, a couple days a week, he's on his feet too. We try to beat the morning commute rush so it's just the quiet of the morning and getting it done this early means (for me) that exercise is done for the day. As much as a sleepyhead I am … [Read more...]
Our Morning Path as We Walk for Our Health {5 Minute Friday}
This Friday I decided to do something different and participate in Kate and her 5 Minute Friday. This Friday's word is #PATH. When I think of #path in the spiritual sense I think that I want to make sure I'm walking on the right path. In my life, with my family, in raising my daughter, in my teeny home business, and so forth. We wear so many hats as women and you want to be master of them all but that is impossible eh? I know that one thing that will help me with all my hats is being in the best health I can be. As I grow older (oy vey!) good health is a beacon that seems much more … [Read more...]
