Is Your Breakfast Killing You?
The first meal of our day has been a hot topic over the last while, especially with the rise of intermittent fasting. In the last few months Ive done protocols where I have breakfast, and others where I skip it. If I have it, it usually looks like what Im about to talk about. If I skip it, the first meal of my day will look like what Im about to talk about anyways
So I basically always have breakfast. Its just that sometimes I have it a few hours after waking up.
Kidney Check Up
My husband had a doctor’s appointment today with his nephrologist (kidney doctor)t\o follow up on his kidney disease. Today we will get the results of his latest blood test that will check his kidney function. The results are in our diet changes has definitely helped his creatine levels have gone down and they are estimating his one remaining kidney is functioning about 60 percent. Considering it was originally designed to only work 50 percent 60 is great. His high blood pressure is definitely under control 115/65!
The doctor is a bit concerned with some swelling in his legs so they are adding a diuretic to help get the fluid out.
Deepak Chopra Creates Video Game
Deepak Chopra will be releasing a video game in November that promises to “enhance the mind-body connection” through interactive full-body motions and breathing techniques. Leela, which is a Sanskrit word that means “play,” will be available for both Nintendo Wii and XBox 360. It uses interactive meditations and exercises to help players relieve stress and find balance, and visual imagery to help facilitate these goals. You can also create personal mandala though the program.
“I wanted to explore how you can use games to not only have a good time, but to increase that experience of flow and actually maximize your physical and mental capacity,” Chopra said in an interview with CNN.
Too Much Work Can Harm Your Health
Some Americans define themselves by their work, so they work extra long and extra hard to accomplish their goals. Some Americans simply have to work long hours just to get by. Either way, working too much can be bad for your health.
One thing it can cause is depression. This seems understandable. WebMD has said that working too many hours may make you less interested in your friends and family as well as neglectful in good care of yourself.
Another problem that I worry about myself is sitting too much. I get involved in a web page or a blog and sit and work and work and work, without getting up.
