Link Love


Its Friday again, time for another edition of Link Love. On Fridays I like to share with you a few of the blog posts, articles, or links I came across throughout the week. Mostly, these links are resources for living a healthier, happier, more inspired life. Hope you enjoy! 

A hike on the North Country trail with my dog
1) This article, titled Can Eating Wheat Cause Psychiatric Problems is one of the best articles on health that I've read in a long time. For a long time I've been a proponent of limiting, or eliminating, wheat and other grains... and not just for people with celiac disease or food allergies. Wheat causes a huge cascade of problems in the body. Plus, grains are our primary source for the fatty acid omega-6. While omega-6 is an essential fatty acid, the average American diet is heavy on grains. To be healthy, we need a ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 close to 1:1... the AVERAGE American has a ratio of 1:25 (to put that in perspective, the average person with schizophrenia has an average of 1:75). This ratio is crucial and more and more researchers are finding that it is one of the most important predictors of health.... and is a huge reason why I recommend taking a good quality fish oil (omega-3).


2. If you know me, you know that I'm a huge proponent of digestive enzymes. I love them. As I talk to more and more people about my love for digestive enzymes (and probiotics, and well... all things that support gut health), I realize that I need to share my story on this blog. Its coming, I promise. Needless to say, digestive enzymes are pretty crucial. If you want to know more, this article is a great source of information on the benefits of enzymes.

3. As the aunt of two beautiful nieces, and the pseudo-aunt to many other little girls born to friends that I think of as sisters, I was super happy to stumble across this article on How to Talk to Little Girls. It's a quick read and a reminder to be more mindful in your conversations with little girls. Teaching girls that their appearance is the first thing you notice sets them up for grief down the road as our "cultural imperative for girls to be hot 24/7 has become the new normal."

3. I love this quote from GMO expert Jeffrey Smith's in the June 2011 issue of Pathways To Family Wellness Magazine: "I tell parents to remember we all do the best we can, and if we don’t know, we don’t know. But worrying and fear are toxic. We don’t want to deal with two toxins, GMOs and worry. Once we know, we can get armed with a shopping guide and do much better. We do the best we can and move forward."
4. I love this post on the power of positive thinking. Check out this quote... it'll make you want to read more! Such a great post!  
''Most people enter into relationships with an eye toward what they can get out of them, rather than what they can put into them.  The purpose of a relationship is to decide what part of yourself you'd like to see "show up," not what part of another you can capture and hold.  The purpose of a relationship is not to have another who might complete you; but to have another with whom you might share your completeness.   ''     -Neale Donald Walsch




Smile today. Make today a great day!

  2. I am bold enough among many others to state that there is now a potent cure to this sickness but many are unaware of it. I discovered that I was infected with the virus 3 months ago, after a medical check-up. My doctor told me and I was shocked, confused and felt like my world has crumbled. I was dying slowly due to the announcement of my medical practitioner but he assured me that I could leave a normal life if I took my medications (as there was no medically known cure to Herpes). I went from churches to churches but soon found that my case needed urgent attention as I was growing lean due to fear of dying anytime soon. In a bid to look for a lasting solution to my predicament, I sought for solutions from the herbal world. I went online and searched for every powerful trado-medical practitioner that I could severe, cos I heard that the African Herbs had a cure to the Herpes syndrome. It was after a little time searching the web that I came across one Dr Itua(A powerful African Herbal Doctor), who offered to help me at a monetary fee. I had to comply as this was my final bus-stop to receiving a perfect healing. My last resolve was to take my life by myself, should this plan fail. At last it worked out well. He gave me some steps to follow and I meticulously carried out all his instructions. Last month, to be precise, I went back to the hospital to conduct another test and to my amazement, the results showed that negative,Dr Itua Can As Well Cure The Following Desease…Cancer,Hiv,Herpes, Hepatitis B,Liver Inflammatory,Diabetis,Fribroid, Dercum,fibromyalgia,Get Your Ex Back, You can free yourself of this Herpes virus by consulting this great African Herbal Doctor via this e-mail: drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com or call and whatsapp him on +2348149277967 He will help you and his herb medication is sure. he has the cure on all disease .You can talk to me on INSTAGRAM..tashamoore219....
