There are many benefits of Yoga.

Increases flexibility
Lubricates joints
Massages all the organs
Detoxification
Muscle toning
Establishes a mind-body-soul connection

Yoga is good for you. It’s a no brainer!

I’ll bet it wouldn’t be hard to convince you that laughter is very beneficial as well. Watch a comedy and you will feel the benefit.

Shoot, even if you fake a laugh, it still has beneficial effects!

Decreases stress hormones
Improves Immune System
Boosts Endorphins

Laughter really is the best medicine! So how do you get more of it in your life?

How about starting everyday with a group laugh!

Dr. Madan Kutaria understands how beneficial laughter is for your health and well being. In 1995 he started an infectious laugh that has spread around the world.

Laughter really is contagious!

Dr. Kutaria is right! Let us all become as little children and laugh ourselves to well being!

The benefits of yoga and laughter are easy to claim for yourself!

Nurture your body, or neglect it and push yourself into an early grave!

Worse yet, your neglect could end up pushing you into a sick bed and your suffering could possibly go on for years and years and years!

Do you have any idea what you need to do to provide yourself with the basics for health building?

Bad habits die hard!

“Hey, I need my vices to get through the week!”

If you aren’t suffering… why worry?

Because, when your suffering begins, you will have no choice but to suffer! Continue reading Are You Nurturing Yourself With Basic Heatlh Related Fitness Components? →

Are You Mourning the Loss Of Your Loved One Before Their Death?

Death is a part of life. When someone you love dies, your life goes on without them.

Alzheimer’s Disease and dementia can effectively take your loved one from you. Though your lives go on, the person you loved is gone. They are no longer who they were. Someone else is living with you.

Grieving for the loss of a loved one that is not dead is a heart wrenching kind of pain.

Do you feel angry and sad? Continue reading Are You Mourning the Loss Of Your Loved One Before Their Death? →

Plan on acute heart failure?

Nobody wants to rush to the emergency room gasping for breath, and then spend a few days dining on hospital fare with your butt hanging out of the most unflattering attire imaginable.

“Ho ho ho?”

“I don’t think so!”

Yet, if you are shopping ‘til you drop, and then having chips and dips and drinks with desert (prescription medication too?), you are asking for a hospitalized holiday!

Lack of sleep, water and good wholesome food will catch up with you quick.

You waste SO much energy processing and eliminating stimulants, alcohol and junk food!

Plan on avoiding acute heart failure!

Want to enjoy your holiday? Continue reading Planning on Acute Heart Failure This Holiday? →

Is There a Solution For Heart Failure?

December 1, 2008Heart Diseasecaregiver, chf, fittness, Happiness, health, heart disease, heart failure, heart health, laughter, Oxygen, sunshine, technorati, wellnessCarrie Tucker

Honestly, is there a solution for heart failure?

If there were a solution would the world be facing an epidemic of heart failure?

Surely if people could avoid this devastating disease, they would, right?

The problem is that heart failure is not diagnosed until after your weak heart has enlarged in an attempt to meet your needs. Unfortunately, that is very late in the disease process.

I used to think that you can’t undo the enlarging of your heart. However, I have had the pleasure of meeting half a dozen people over the past couple years, who have done exactly that.

UPDATE December 20, 2012

Many Life Breath Clubbers have healed from a devastating heart failure diagnosis! They are getting back to work, enjoying their lives more and even getting off of the heart transplant list!

Until the proverbial “shit hits the fan”, most people live in denial.

You may not even notice symptoms that might alert your doctor to the impending doom.

However, even if you tell your doctor about your symptoms there may be no alarm sounded until it is too late.

Hey, let’s face it, if your doctor can’t drug it or surgically repair it, odds are, he or she can’t help you.

Unfortunately, he can run a bunch of tests and give you a clean bill of health to dismiss your concerns when you should be making changes!

If you are eating lots of sugar and plenty of processed foods, and rarely get off the sofa; that comforting bit of information could be your death sentence.

You may have NO warning of impending heart failure before your health is lost!

Even if your health care provider has told you that your heart “is fine”, you can abruptly lose your quality of life as well as YEARS worth of your expected income!

Does Validation Matter?

November 27, 2008Mind Setcaregiver, copd, Grief and Death, Happiness, health, heart disease, heart failure, heart health, laugh, laughter, self acceptance, thechnorati, validationCarrie Tucker

Are you in constant pain … emotionally or physically?

Have you lost your independence?

Have you lost a loved one?

Do you cope with mind numbing pain every day?

Sometimes life dumps you upside down and you feel very disconnected from the world.

When you can acknowledge your struggle AND your progress, you can move past isolation and reconnect with your family and your community.

Do you keep a stiff upper lip?

You’d really rather not bother others. Chronic pain is something we learn to live with, but others may grow “sick of hearing about it”.

When you become isolated you are cut off from your healing. Relationship is the place to cultivate Love and Love is a very important part of the healing process!

It’s time you relax and give yourself a break.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

But sometimes, even the tough need to sit down on the curb of life and cry. Your burden becomes too heavy, and you need to acknowledge your own pain.

When you can do this for yourself, you can more easily do this for others. Validation is a gift.

When you have the choice to say no, you can more easily say yes.

When you acknowledge you are in pain, you can take the day off, soak in a hot salt bath, and take a nap, can’t you?

When you let yourself grieve for a loved one, however you need to express it, then you can enjoy your cherished memories.

When you throw a temper tantrum over the loss of your active lifestyle and independence, you can throw yourself fully into rehabilitation efforts.

Allow, express and release all of your negative emotion when you have private time, and you will be amazed at the positive result it has on your attitude and your health.

Your ability to heal is miraculous!

Sometimes its hard to fathom what is possible.

You really are that awesome.

You need to believe you’re awesome or you won’t be able to make anyone else believe in themselves!

If you have 16 and a half minutes to watch the cute clip below you might understand that philosophy just a little bit better.

It’s sure to put a smile on your face at the very least!
