Heavy Metal Fan?

Recently I discovered that I have a heavy toxicity of heavy metals.  It has been been causing me extreme fatigue and memory loss.  A friend mentioned to me that eating Cilantro helps in Chelation therapy.  Intrigued, I did a search for more info and found this website. http://www.healthy-journey.com/chelation-therapy-food-and-supplements

Check it out. It is loaded with information to improve your health.  If you have amalgam fillings in your teeth, or drink sodas from a can, or use antiperspirant, you may have this issue.  One of the other unhappy side effects is difficulty with weight loss.  The body stores heavy metals in our fat to protect us from them. Then when you try to lose weight the body holds on to the fat because when you break down the fat they metals dump into your system.  Wow! God made our bodies smart!

I feel better about my weight problem knowing this.  I am going to include the foods recommended( in the article from the above website) into my diet and I will report to you how it goes.  I truly expect a shift in my weight.

Sadly, heavy metals are found in high concentrations in fish.  Be sure to do your homework about where the worst problems are.  I have heard that China and India are two of the worst water polluters. I am no longer buying fish imported from those countries.

And...sniff, sniff, sniff...I am giving up my Hanson diet Ginger Ale....sniff, sniff, sniff.....

Day 43! To the Glory of God!

1 Corinthians 10:31 b "...Whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."

This Scripture has been ringing in my heart these past couple of weeks as my workout schedule has given way to life.  Last week it was Vacation Bible School.  This week it has been walking around the most beautiful college campus I have ever seen in the United States, The University of San Diego, and around the surrounding area.  Wow!  It makes me want to go back to school and just learn everything!

But, as I think about my workout in terms of life and how it can fit in, I see that every health challenge must become a way of life.  Whether we are spending time in the gym or simply executing our daily life necessities, we can be intentional.  I can't help but get excited about how the last month and a half have helped me prepare for my life now!  I know I would not have been able to withstand the rigors of the level of activity I have been experiencing, if not for the new discipline in my life.  I want to encourage you to not give up!  I know I say that a lot, but I need to hear it, so I am assuming you do, too!

Diet-wise, I have been sort of eating what has been provided. I have missed a few meals, but I know I need more discipline, and I have been lax in asking God for His point of view on meals....I repent!!

Keep it up! I know you are feeling better!  I have been wondering how many of you would  be interested in meeting somewhere to do a fun run/walk in the fall somewhere in the middle of the country, or the middle of Texas??  Let me know. I have a few pals who are interested.  I would be fun to meet some of our cyber-friends!

Goodnight for now. God Bless. Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite!  Anna Marie
