Health Wealth and Business is The Winning Combination
57Love your lungs!
We think it’s time to focus a little attention and care on our hardworking and faithful lungs. And we hope this doesn’t come as a surprise: glutathione (GSH) is arguably the most vital, valiant protector of the lungs.
Just think about it. Each breath you take exposes your lungs to pollution, allergens, smog, dust, first- or second-hand cigarette smoke—a lungful of dangerous airborne particles. If any area of the body is under a full-scale attack by free radicals and toxins, it is certainly the lungs.
We probably don’t realize the one-two punch our lungs take from this exposure to toxins and free radicals. Not only is there oxidant damage from free radical attacks, but the body’s response to cellular injury is inflammation. That’s all well and good but the inflammatory process, once triggered, often rages out of control. When that happens, a number of lung ailments and disorders arise.
Thankfully, the epithelial cells that line the lower respiratory tract have a protective screen of glutathione to protect against oxidant damage by free radicals. In fact, early research showed that total glutathione (both GSH and oxidized GSSG) of normal epithelial lining fluid was 140 times higher than the glutathione found in the blood of the same person!1
Irfan Rahman and William MacNee, researchers from the University of Edinburgh in the UK, stated that glutathione (GSH) “is emerging as one of the fundamental antioxidant defense mechanisms in oxidant-induced lung injury and inflammation.”2
If you are a smoker or are routinely exposed to second-hand smoke, glutathione is even more vital. Yes, every lecture given about quitting smoking warns that smoking harms the lungs. But have you heard exactly how harmful smoking is? Stay tuned for the next chapter on "Love Your Lungs"
Baby Boomers Are Now Realizing the Importance of Health and Quality of Life!
Author: Amy McFarland
Take a step back for just a moment and look at just how you are feeling today. Do you have the energy you think you should have? Are you just not motivated? Are you just plain tired from the long work week?
This is all too common, especially among the baby boomer generation. These are the years that the fatigue just creeps in, the health issues just start popping up, the diabetes is now diagnosed, or the extra weight is now more noticeable. Whatever the problems, chronic fatigue, obesity, joint pain, high blood pressure, the list goes on but one thing is for sure, it affects the quality of our lives. We no longer enjoy the things we used to and that then plays on our emotional health as well.
We go on day after day resigning ourselves to the fact that we just have to live with whatever it is that is slowing us down. NOT TRUE! Regardless of the circumstance, there is no reason why every baby boomer cannot enjoy better quality of life no matter what the ailments are.
Each person is different but there are numerous products on the market today that will “claim” just about everything to get you to make that purchase! Well it is time for you to take your own quality of life into your own hands and do the research to find what will work for you! There are many, but keep in mind, do your research! Get informed you cannot afford to waste your money in today’s economic situation on products that will sit on the shelf at home.
The only claims that should really get your attention are the ones that say, results vary from person to person. You should also look at whether or not they offer some sort of satisfaction guarantee or money back guarantee. Read the fine print! The most important thing you must consider is, are you going to actually utilize the product or supplement for any length of time? And, do you have unrealistic goals on what any particular product will do for you?
If you look at it this way, it took years for all you baby boomers to end up where you are now, so keep the realistic view that it will not be an overnight “phenomenon” for any product to change your current condition, ailment or obesity issue. Look for the subtle changes, keep a log of what your goals are for bettering your quality of life and give yourself 6 months to a year to really see “the difference” with any product or supplement. And put forth the effort to do what you need to do to assist in the outcome of what it is that you desire. Whether that be walking, changing your eating habits or just plain changing your lifestyle altogether there are no miracle “cures” that will do this for you without your added efforts to go along with it.
Your health is IMPORTANT! What are you willing to do to change the quality of YOUR life?

Creating a healthier lifestyle is something that we all need to do regardless of our weight, age, gender, race, etc. As we age, our bodies are constantly changing and so our lifestyle must change somewhat too.
I will be consistantly posting tips and tools that will assist everyone to gain a better understanding of how just the little changes can make a big difference in how much energy we have, how you can lose a few unwanted pounds and also how you can get a good nights sleep!
Getting to know YOUR body is key! If you pay attention to what your body is telling you, you will then know exactly what has to be done to "feed" your body what it needs to be a happier and healthier YOU.
Weight Loss Solutions, Are There Any?
Over the past 20 years there have been so many products and supplements on the market targeting weight loss that it is not only oversaturated but just plain ridiculous! Millions are still obese!
So what does that mean? That means that all the companies that have been putting these products out there are after one thing, YOUR MONEY! Everything I have tried from pills to shakes have had one purpose in mind, to stop the number one symptom, hunger. With that having been said, the question that comes to mind now is, why are we so hungry?
The "hungry" reasons vary from person to person. For some it is emotional, others systemic and still others just no self control. But in the end, the reason then becomes the brain no longer gets the "I'm full" signal from the stomach because of our need to feed that hunger for so many years! The stomach just stops sending it because we have ignored it for so long. Some never had the signal to begin with.
So my battle begins with a revolutionary supplement that is touted for addressing the "cause" of hunger and fat storage instead of the symptoms! Wow! Now that makes sense! Join me on my journey that for over 20 years has eluded me, losing weight in a manner that my body makes the appropriate adjustments to keep it off! I am 6 weeks into this product and so far the results are:
1) I've lost 1" of body fat around my waste and hips (after 6 weeks)
2} I eat all the healthier foods recommended in much smaller portions, walking away from each meal FULL! (within the first 2 weeks)
3) I now have enough energy to walk 1 mile per day, 3 mph (when the weather is not below freezing)
4) My cravings for high fat foods is non existant, I could not even eat a pork chop last week! I love pork chops! (week #4)
5) The ease with which I am able to change what I am eating and how much is truly what amazes me without that "starved" feeling.
These changes may seems trivial to some of you but for me this is a big change! Everything else that I have tried lasted 2 weeks at best, then came the binge eating for the next two weeks because I suffered through the regimen feeling like I was starving!
I think I may be onto something really big here. I will keep you all updated on my progress. Photos will be available soon (still too shy to post them yet). But I am confident that this is a real winner!
