Is Low Blood Oxygen Level Dangerous?

Is Low Blood Oxygen Level Dangerous?

ALL of the cells that make up your body need oxygen or they will DIE!

Hey, no joke!

Killing off cells sure won’t build health.

If your oxygen level falls low enough, it can stimulate your vagus nerve and cause your heart to stop.

Got that?

If you are ignoring your low oxygen level, you are risking DEATH!

Do you have low oxygen levels?  Are you risking death without noticing?

  •  Ask your family to tell you if your lips are blue.

While you’re asking, find out if anyone has noticed short term memory loss.

  •  How was your last eye exam?

Were your eyes worse? Low oxygen levels cause the loss of your eye sight.

  •  Do you hit a brick wall of fatigue at the end of your day?

Do you wake up feeling tired?  Low oxygen levels MEAN low energy levels!

 

Do you know what you need to about YOUR blood oxygen level? Continue reading article →

Why Is Physical Fitness So Important? Step 1, Getting Started.

Why Is Physical Fitness So Important?

Physical fitness is not a popular subject outside the gym.

Why is physical fitness so important?  To a couch potato, it’s a dirty word.

To someone dying of heart failure, it is unthinkable.

If you are not an athlete, why should you care about physical fitness?

Have you ever heard the expression “Move it or lose it”?

 

Why is physical fitness so important?

Because if you are inactive you will die prematurely of Sedentary Death Syndrome.

Look, if the mention of exercise makes your heart sink, then just get up and walk out the door on a regular basis.

Check out the flowers, clouds, and birds.  Depending on where you live, maybe the architecture is interesting or the people colorful.

Don’t call it exercise.

Make it a ritual to unplug from thinking and just move.

If you can’t move your body down the road, then move it in your yard, or on your patio, down the hallway or dance in your chair!

Just move.

If you will move, everyday consistently, until your heart rate increases and your tension is released, you will understand why physical fitness it so important.

You will FEEL it.

The experience is much like a warm blanket on a cold rainy day.

You get so stiff and your circulation so dull with built up sludge when you let yourself go.  Easing yourself into forward motion is a process that requires gentle patience.

No pain no gain is a myth.

In fact, respect your limits and you will recover and rebuild from the effort much quicker so that your gains will be greater tomorrow.

Breathe and relax WHILE you MOVE!

Speed and distance are really not important.

You may be tempted to bring along your ipod or mp3, but I encourage you to try and spend your active time stilling your thoughts and leaving the “space” for silence.

You won’t be gone long.  You can resume your flurry of activity when you finish increasing your heart rate, releasing your tension, and causing the space for relaxation.

Look, if you can just start there, maybe everyone else you love and care about can too.

The buddy system works great, or even an accountability partner to check in with.  Support helps!  Community is worth your time, and group activity is just plain FUN!

There is no rush here though!  Start where you are and talk to a friend about it.  Can you do that?

Part 1 is about changing your mind about physical fitness.

Maybe it really is just as simple as walking out the door.

Why Is Physical Fitness So Important?

Because it feels good, and you’re worth it!

Are Anxiety, Fear and Restlessness Harming Your Relationships And Your Health?

Do you “hermit” away from the world when you are run down and tired?

If you don’t take care of yourself, you disconnect from friends and family because you don’t have the energy to nurture those important relationships.

Some folks recharge by spending time with friends, others need solitary time to regroup.  So, for some people retreating like a hermit is therapeutic!

How do you recharge?

If you are a care giver, odds are that self care if not your top priority!

You likely drag yourself from one task to the next.

The problem is, IF not taking care of yourself is a habit, then the symptoms of feeling run down and all around lousy start to feel normal.

Everything is relative right?

When you are at the end of your rope, anxiety, fear and restlessness keep you from slowing down enough to refuel.

Ignoring self care will make you sick!

Do you FEEL:

  • tired
  • foggy (hard to focus)
  • heavy
  • irritable
  • addicted to caffeine
  • fearful and anxious
  • moody
  • restless despite your fatigue

Seriously …. take a hard look at it.

Do you feel cranky by the end of the day?

Do you have a tough time sleeping?

It’s not just a normal part of the aging process and it is NOT something you have to live with!

 

How do you heal anxiety, fear and restlessness?

7 Simple steps taken consistently will go a long way to remedy what’s ailing you.

Step 1  Witness your feelings!

Journal your feelings.  Physical and emotional feelings are the sign posts to living better and feeling better.

If you are numb and in denial, you are stuck.

Ask yourself…

How am I feeling in my body, mind and soul?

Step 2  Release!

What you resist persists, allow whatever you see.

Accept your feelings.

Step 3  Notice.

Are there patterns in your life that repeat themselves in all the various aspects of work and personal relationships?

Is your focus on you or someone else?

You can only fix you.  Make sure you stay out of other people’s feelings.  You can support them, but you have no business fixing anybody but you.

What might your feelings be trying to tell you?

Don’t over analyze.

Maybe your feelings stem from being tired and depleted.

Step 4  Respond.

Choose to respond to your feelings instead of react to the external forces that you feel throughout your day.

Nutrition can really play a part here, as can rest and relaxation.

If you are stretched beyond your coping limits, you do not have access to a controlled response.

Take a breath and make some space for stillness.

You will find your inner guidance and Peace.

Your response will be much better when you come from your heart.

Step 5  Evaluate

You can’t build on your progress until you acknowledge it.

Record your progress if possible, so that you can literally measure your growth.

Step 6  Love Yourself

All love starts with self love.

If you can’t love yourself, you can’t give or receive love from anyone else.

Step 7  Nurture Yourself

Nurturing is love in action!

How Does a Heart Attack Effect the Body; Do You Know the Symptoms?

How does a heart attack effect the body?

When you think about someone having a heart attack, does it involve drama … grabbing the chest and falling to the floor?

How does a heart attack effect the body?

Though chest pressure is a common symptom of heart attack, you may also experience other less obvious symptoms.

More women are dying of heart disease than men!  Women especially may experience symptoms that are vague and not as obvious.

Women shoulder so much of the burden in modern society that they often push through the pain, dismissing it as normal everyday pain.

If you have a heart attack, your life may depend on getting help fast!

It is important that doctors and patients pay much closer attention to save lives!  Problem is, women don’t get the respect they deserve in an Emergency Room the way that men do.

If more women die of heart disease than men, why are women still not being carefully evaluated when they come in with vague symptoms of pain?

Good question!  Your life may depend on you complaining loud enough to get the care you desperately need!

Are You Aware of Swine Flu Vaccine Dangers?

Do you like to gamble?

How about with your health?

Would you risk the health of your child?

If you choose to protect yourself and your family from the influenza virus by taking the vaccine, you are doing just that!

You NEED to understand swine flu vaccine dangers.

Please don’t buy into the hype!

The flu is not normally deadly!

Is it something you should be frightened of?

Take a look at the history of vaccination.

If you choose to vaccinate for the flu , you are gambling with your health, and possibly with your life!

Take a look at this 60 Minutes documentary from 1976.

Do we need to see MORE people die before we WAKE UP?!

If this video isn’t alarming to you, then you have been thoroughly brain washed.

It’s nothing to be embarrassed or angry about, but you might want to question why you believe what you believe!

Take extra care to nurture yourself and your family:

  • optimize your vitamin D level
  • avoid sugar and processed foods
  • get enough rest
  • effectively address stress
  • exercise
  • take a good source of omega 3 fats
  • wash your hand
  • eat garlic regularly
  • avoid hospitals and vaccines

Building health requires you to meet ALL your needs.

You are what you eat.

You are also the thoughts you think, the words you say and the actions you take.

If you let the government and the drug companies scare the hell out of you, it will adversely effect your health.

Let them scare you enough to ignore swine flu vaccine dangers and it may cost you your life.

Watch Vaccine Nation on Google Videos.  It will horrify you!

Maybe you need to be horrified to understand that you are being brain washed to prevent profit loss from vaccination sales.

Please educate yourself.  You don’t have to become a statistic!

Educate Yourself About Global Warming Facts and Take Action; What Can You Do?

Global Warming

Do you know people who choose to bury their head in the sand about climate change?

Global Warming Facts are hard to dismiss, but denial works for some people.

You are what you eat, drink, think and do!

Mother Earth depends on us to keep her healthy.  If we dump on her and take her resources for granted, future generations will suffer the consequences.

It makes sense to use only what you need.

It feels GOOD to use only what you need!

Fill your life with purpose and you will find the inspiration to get up everyday filled with determination and gratitude.

One person can make a big difference in SO many ways!

Choosing less meat and more organic foods in your diet can make a huge impact on global warming!

Choosing less meat and more organic foods in your diet make a huge impact on your health, too!

 

What’s good for YOU is good for Mother Earth!

  • Use non-toxic cleaning products.
  • Plant a tree!  (Enjoy the outdoors with your family!)
  • Shop locally for food.  Farmers Markets are great, fresh foods take less energy to produce than packaged foods. (Build community while you’re there! Say hello to your neighbors)
  • Insulate your home better, and reap the rewards with a cozy place to rest and recuperate.
  • Turn off the television and go for a walk!  (You’ll love it!)

Every time you do something that has a positive impact on your home, your community, and our planet you can feel good about it.

Contribution and Connection are definitely 2 powerful Heart Failure Solutions!
