But what if the consumer thinks differently, or disagrees with whether a product is good or not??

Despite the bad Press ‘Raw Milk’ (as in unheated, un-pasteurized Milk) has received,
about how it can be dangerous etc.., it is still one of the best foods you can find out there for nutritional value.

The real disadvantage and downside is that it remains a bit difficult to come by, which may or not be depending on where you live.

This is the case in this day and age where we are possibly about to have the first young and black President of the United States of America.

Some have misinformed us that Raw Milk is unappealing or dangerous.

Raw Milk is neither unappealing nor dangerous, it is however far better for you than pasteurized milk.

The real reasons are likely more political than nutritional.
If raw milk became more popular, large commercial Dairies would have to provide a higher quality milk product, by raising healthier cows, and providing pastures for cows, the way nature intended.

This is best quality, but clearly more expensive, less commercially profitable.

Much like the drug industry, the dairy industry has strong lobbying powers.

All politics aside, not only does raw milk taste better than pasteurized milk, it also contains many more nutrients that are beneficial because they haven’t been destroyed by the exposure to the ‘Heat’ of pasteurization.

The choice is yours, both are available.
 
A most likely source for Raw Milk is farmer’s markets that are available even in large cities, on a weekly basis.

Real Milk, the food that has stood the test of time.

Ahhh, if you are reading this, if you were tempted by the title, if you just had to know … 

there’s probably something the universe wants you to know, and is trying to tell You.

Let’s start with the get mad part.

Well, that’s easy right?

If you are anything like me, the wind blowing slightly in a new and different direction could mean someone out there is pissed at you, and …

What I’m getting at is for most of us getting mad is a common occurrence, happens all the time, a daily thing, may be even an hourly thing, ooouch, watch out.

What gets you Mad? Do you know?

You could start a ‘Mad Diary’, (I think is just invented something), where you create a page in Word Document and when something happens and you get M A D, well you automatically have a place to go to spill out your frustrations.

Imagine, you don’t have to spin the incident in your head till your tired hubby comes home(as if he would really listen, but you might get lucky..)

You could IM your friends, or Twitter about it, but you won’t get the same relief that you are entitled to get.

So this is the basic idea, start writing about your upset, Keep it one thought, one thought at a time, one ‘Frame’ so to speak, like:
“ I’m so mad that my sister said, you’re getting better at xxxxxxxx, meaning, and the implication being, I’m not good at it now!!”

This addresses one issue, one thought you’re having, without more story about it or other thoughts that can be distracting.

Write down whatever thoughts an feelings you have about what you just wrote.  ie. “ Who even asked for her opinion..??”

Keep writing your thoughts, without censorship, giving yourself permission to say and feel whatever you chose, without guilt or consequence.

Keep doing this till you feel you have said it all, and you just don’t
have anything more to say about the subject, and you don’t want to
say anything anymore about it for now, or ever (whichever comes first)

You should feel very clear and empty at the end of this.

This is an exercise in letting go of your emotions, and clearing yourself.

If you do this, you will give yourself another option, another way to deal with your upsetting moments, and as you take the time to write all this, You will not have the time nor would you have the automatic reflex of popping some food or other edible in your mouth, which acts as a neutralizer or a buffer to the flaming emotions.

Letting go of excess fat can be fun, and you have a new tool now.

Use it and Loose it!!

Loosing weight is one reliable way of lowering your Blood Pressure.

Loosing your Excess weight is a most powerful Revenge! And it serves you best, and serves the Universe in more ways than you may ever know.

So go get ‘Personal Revenge’, the world is waitin’

Feeling Light & Clear is great also.

The benefits keep mounting… I’m losing the countin’

To your success and Dream life..

My best,
Talia Inanna Kala

The next question is what is influencing your Life?

You are probably aware that your thoughts have a large impact if not major effect on the kind of life you have.

It is estimated that an individual has something close to over  50,000 thoughts a day, they go by pretty quickly…

How it works is that your thoughts affect your emotions, and your emotional state affects you in the way that it rules or directs what actions you take, and the actions you take correlates directly with the results you have/end up with in your life.

Simply stated, your thoughts affect your emotions, your emotions affect your actions, and your actions produce the result you have in Life.

Even more precisely within the thoughts you are having there are ‘core’ questions, that you are asking of yourself, like a dominant thought/question that is responsible for the predictable outcome you have.

Let’s examine what some of these questions sound like?

Since this is a Health & Well-being site, Let’s customize the Question to say :
What question am I asking myself in the area of health, and what results in the area of health do I currently have in my life?

First the health related question:  What is the dominant health related thought/question
you have, and are asking yourself repeatedly??

The thought/question might be… “ At this rate, I don’t know how I’m ever going to make it to xx age?”

Let’s zoom in on that thought/question, and see what ‘code of action’ it holds for our emotions, actions, and results.

“At this rate”, already sounds like there is something wrong with it, even not knowing anything any further of what follows…

“I don’t know” is another self defeating statement/thought. Who should know? Who is in charge anyway?

“How I’m ever going to make it?”  I mean what can you even say to that? It sounds like an impossible feat that can never happen, no matter what! And what is the destination anyway??

You can plainly see, that with thoughts like the above example, someone with that thought/Question, would have little confidence in the direction and control of their health,
Expects the worst, and doesn’t allow themselves the chance to take charge of their health and well-being.

With this profile in place, it is plain for anyone to predict the health status of the person with these thoughts in place.

This is just a small example of how our thoughts influence our actions and results.

I hope you followed that closely, and that it gives you some insight into how just a small thought can make a difference in the state of health you enjoy.

We all need to keep close watch at what we let ourselves say and hear, as it will unleash the law of attraction, and the rest is … well, what you’ve got.

Look forward to sharing more insightful ideas for change in future.

My best to You,
In good Health,
Talia*

Well truth is, you are not alone, millions of people from all walks of life feel this way, and it has become synonymous with everyday, Global modern living, almost by default, as if no one has a choice about it.

This is such a common & widespread belief/idea that most often many people feel trapped and experience a no way out Situation.

This thought/feeling that things are as they are, and that none of us can change it leads people to life a life of upstream battle full of Stress, uncertainty, instability, and frustration at the very least.

It would be nice to have a way out of that dizzying cycle, a way to experience tranquility, to come home and rest a while anytime we wanted, by our choice, decision and our will.

Before we commit to a direction of a choice we need to know that the choice/decision we are considering making is a real possible choice not just an idea, or wishful thinking, a hope or a just a dream.

I believe that if the quest/question has arisen from within, then so to will the answer come from within. 

A wise person said once that if a question didn’t have an answer in the Universe, then it wouldn’t be a question, that if a question is really a question, then by the virtue of it being a question it must have an answer.

We must seek that which makes us feel whole, and we seek that because that is our true nature, and we must be that which we are.

Even if we forget to be who we are for a time, or pretend that we are other than that which we truely are: whole, complete, and perfect.

Sometimes like children a Birthday party we dress up and play this game that we are clowns, angels, fairies, or cow boys, but at the end of the night the costumes become a burden, we are tired and weary, and it must all come off.

To experience truth and true peace, not only must the costume come off, but the mask as well.

We must see ourselves in the mirror, and find our true identity, claim what is there waiting for us, and be gratified to be who we are, celebrate it, and enjoy the gift that we have been given.

The gift, non other than we ourselves, the greatest treasure of perfect beings born into this earth to learn our lessons and grow.

If you need to find yourself, you must start from an original and true point, your home inside…

More on this in future blog posts. This was just a primer for many future lustrous coats of Possibility, Health, Healing and Peak Performance.
This will be a joyous ride.

Speak again soon,

Most of us don’t live on a deserted Island, and more accurately we depend on many people, systems and tangible things moment to moment and day to day, to make our lives possible if not to make it easier.

Consumption is what you use in life. 

Whether it’s your ‘fingers’ or your ‘Ferrari’, it is what you have in your life, what you use, make use of, and depend upon, the things that you surround yourself, including the people that are around you.

‘Pleasurable Consumption’ is at it simplest the idea of enjoying what you have in your life. 

The simple logic being : that if you already must depend on a multitude of things to sustain & support your life, what better decision or action than the decision & action to really truly and fully acknowledge, fully use, fully appreciate,  and fully give credit to that what has supported you and made your ‘life’ possible as you know it , and probably better than you could hope for.

If you can live your life from this lens of fully appreciating & utilizing (which is the highest form of flattery)what you already have in your life, not only will this make your life fuller and more enjoyable, but is Most Likely to attract more good in your life.

The more you can enjoy what life brings your way, the more you amplify the ‘Good’ in your life.

Actually you can have it be ‘good’ by your saying so, because it is possible to transform what ‘ Is’ by the way you ‘See it ’ and ‘call it ’, so that even the so called ‘bad’ in your life, can have some good or benefit to it if you are willing to find the good and affirm that in your thought and awareness.

So as they say: “ Get rid of dull Dogs that spread Blue”, be the pack leader in your life, and have your life be just as you wish it to be.

To your Healthy Life,

Talia*

Why that tag?

Hypertension got it’s name as a silent Killer because often the are no specific symptoms that cry out as Hypertension (until complications arise/develop).

The symptoms of complications depend on the organs involved.

Millions have Hypertension, or elevated Blood Pressure and don’t know it, since they need to be tested ( a simple 10 second test)

Most people with high blood pressure are overweight.

Losing/Dropping ‘Weigh’ lowers blood pressure significantly in those who are both overweight and those ‘hypertensive’, with High/Elevated Blood Pressure.

In fact, reducing body weight by as little as ten pounds can lead to a significant reduction in blood pressure.

Discover what works for you to improve your chances of losing weight and keeping it off.

According to research or other evidence, the following self-care steps may be helpful:

Aim for total nutrition with a Multivitamin.

Extra vitamins and minerals will help enure your body gets the nutrition it needs, especially if you are avoiding certain foods ..

Find a diet that fits.

For long-term success, choose a healthy diet that you can stay with.

Creat a custom exercise plan, exercise you truly enjoy is much easier to stick to, so activities that fit your style, fitness level, and work out times are best.

Find Support, by getting the support you need, you improve your chances for long-term weight loss.

Join a group that is supportive, while you adjust to new diet/plan and exercise regimen.

These recommendations are not comprehensive and are not intended to replace the advice of your doctor or pharmacist. Continue reading my articles for more in-depth, fully-referenced information on medicines, vitamins, herbs, and dietary and lifestyle changes that may be helpful.

Yes for many years if not for many decades we have heard about how your mind affects your body, your thoughts affect your body, your Body believes what you think, and really your thoughts affect everything. 

We innately know this Truth, this law of Attraction, this basic currency of the way things work in our world.

You would think we would hold this information, this Key to unlocking the mysteries of Manifesting near and dear to our hearts, and live from it like crusaders or evangelists.

But the puzzling truth is we forget, we get distracted in this dizzying, fast spinning world.

We forget that we can have our dreams, shoot for the moon and in short be enlightened wizards of the world, making magic and spinning webs of light and joy into the world…

You may wonder what this has to do with Hypertension/High Blood Pressure?

Well, only Everything…

When we are not living the life we L O V E, Life doesn’t love us back, as way of saying, Dead end Road, Proceed no Further, Change Course, Switch Gears, Change Tracks,  Back Up, Slow Down, find Another Way, Correct and Continue, ok, you get the Idea…

Actually to be fair to Life…

Life always has it’s arms open, Heart flowing, always and forever ‘Open Door Policy’, but our confused minds, and lost Hearts keep taking us to ‘Closed Doors’, ‘Do not enter Zones’, ‘ Knock yourself out Area’,  ‘Closed Vault’,  ‘Closed’ Signs, ‘Someday Maybe’, ‘Can’t be Done’ Doom, ‘Too Hard to do’ Destinations…

Instead of  where we want to be, in the flow of life, in the river of Plenty..

So Focus on the positive, Keep your eye on the Prize and…

Don’t Look back,  ‘It’s NOT where You are Goin’…..

 
Research Shows a healthy & positive attitude helps build a healthier immune system, even Boost ‘Overall’ Health.

 
A healthier Immune System, means lower risk for Hypertension & High Blood Pressure.

 
So think and stay ‘Positive’,  Follow your Bliss as they say,  and ..
Focus on Gratitude, it will open your Heart, and attract More Good to You.

My Best to you,
Journey Well,

 I just love it when I discover something in nature that helps with Health, especially overall health as in Hypertension & High Blood Pressure.

We as Humans have such a rich history we’ve all inherited by virtue of being born on this planet earth.

All the people that have come before us and left the earth plane, leaving behind something of benefit for us all to use, enhance our lives, making our lives a little better and richer.

It is smart to harness such knowledge to help with High Blood Pressure/Hypertension, etc.

This tip is something from nature, so in my book it comes with the highest recommendation.

You’ve heard how for years rolled oats and eating oatmeal has been publicized as being helpful in lowering cholesterol levels.

Well now, it is with great pleasure that I introduce a pseudo- grain (not quite a grain, therefore doesn’t have the same high starch qualities as some other grains like wheat or rice).

This nutritionally wonderful pseudo- grain, is a seed know as ‘Amaranth seed’, which is easily found in health food stores, and other food markets.

‘Amaranth’ is considered to be one of the most nutritionally wonderful ‘seed’ (they are really tiny) especially for Vegetarians, it is a totally Vegetarian product.

Several studies have demonstrated that ‘Amaranth seeds’ or oil, like oats may be of benefit for people with Hypertension/High blood pressure, and cardiovascular disease.

Particularly if consumed on a regular basis these simple foods are know to reduce Blood Pressure and cholesterol levels, while improving you immunity and other benefits …

Most fruits & vegetables do not contain a complete set of amino acids, so alternate sources of protein would be necessary.

What makes Amaranth so unique and wonderful is that it contains some very rare and valuable amino acids normally only found in animal- origin foods.

Amaranth seeds like buckwheat and quinoa contain unusually complete protein for a plant source.

This simple to do step/practice that can alter your life track in unexpected ways, if you implement…

Health is a choice, you can do it.

Start Today!

My Best to you,

What do you think of when you hear ‘epidemic’?

Do think some contagious disease spreading like wild fire?

Possibly a virus, or an unstoppable illness, that’s out of control.

All the above examples sound exotic, remote,  and  conjure images of things that happen in faraway lands. 

But the truth of this post is about an ‘epidemic’ much closer to home.

On the local front, the World health Organization calls Stress “the health epidemic of the 21st Century”, reporting that ‘Stress’ and the resulting illnesses springing from Stress accounts for more than 70% of all visits to medical doctors.

The question at hand is what is this powerful thing we call ‘Stress’? And why is it that it has such a powerful grip & effect on us?

Is Stress good or bad? When is it good, if ever and when is it bad?

What does Stress mean to each of us? How does it affect our bodies?

Is it possible we can welcome some form or version of Stress, and use it to our benefit rather than be overcome by Stress?

Stress is a word that reflects what we individually feel and how our bodies react to given a set of circumstances and demands upon it at any given time.  That was a mouthful…

The level of Stress we have is often filtered through our thoughts, ideas, our personal history and the decisions we have made with regards to what constitutes the range of what we will consider Stress or Stressful.

Often the stress is self created, and certainly some pressure is sometimes a necessary

push we need or give ourselves to get the job done. Guilty as charged…

For those reasons it is hard to say what Stress is, like a thing, you can point to.

Stress is moreover something we create and manage on our own, or with outside help.

We create the level and amount of Stress that is acceptable for us as a useful thing, and how much of it

we want at any given time, how much we can handle, and are willing to put up with or tolerate.

It is a large juggling act, that many of us practice daily.
 
Still, it seems wise to set some limits or parameters of how much Stress we will allow, to have balance and avoid getting too Stressed out, especially if we have Hypertension, or are prone to or get Stressed easily.

Be well, Practice Balance, Get what you Want.

The reality however is much different.

Being overweight or obese, is a marker for Hypertension/High Blood Pressure disease.

In fact one of the fastest growing elective surgeries, Gastric bypass (useful for those who are morbidly obese), and surpassed only by Breast augmentation, offers many benefits for patients with Hypertension.

As you may know, the greater the body weight, the higher the risk for many ailments including Hypertension/High Blood pressure.

It is projected that those that undergo gastric bypass surgery, 75% of patients lose up to 80% of their body weight, and 80% will go off their Hypertension Medications.

This is very encouraging news.
Though Gastric Bypass surgery may not be for everyone who may not be obese, it may work very well for the obese and those with elevated blood pressure levels. It may be  worth to go get some guidance and clarification from a health professional or Doctor.

This is a drastic measure, and a big step which requires some inquiry and pondering.

The final decision is yours, but it’s best not to do this alone.

Besides the usual medical crew, get your fiends and family’s support, as well as attending some support groups for people who are considering this option, where people who have already gone through this process typically attend and are more than happy to answer questions or help in any way.

There are other ways of coping with hypertension/High Blood Pressure, including diet & exercise, which I talk about in my other Blogs.
Enjoy reading as many as you can.

Stay posted,
