It is very important that we all remain as healthy as we can. Do all the things that you know to do so that we can be healthy. We assume that if we get sick that the doctors or hospitals are going to do everything that they can to make us better. This is not always the case.

When one is sick the first thing that they have to do is take a look at what they are doing. Especially, what one is eating. My grandmother has been sick since February of 2008 and she is now sick again. She has diabetes and congestive heart failure. My mom went to Ohio to take care of her. She had completely changed her diet. She was cooking her meals and helping her get some exercise by having her do a little walking everyday. She was getting better. She took care of my grandmother for 2 months. She had asked my grandmother did she want to come to Michigan and stay with her. She said, "No". My mom returned home.

Since, my mom left my grandmother has been in and out of the hospital. She is now back in the hospital and my mom is back in Ohio. She wasn't doing to good and she had a small stroke. My mom was visiting with my grandmother and guess what she was drinking. Pop. Can you believe that? My mom said,"Mom you don't need to be drinking that?" That's like giving a cancer patient a cigarette. You would think the hospital would know how to feed people when they are sick. It's probably not on their priority list. My grandmother has been in and out of the hospital and the rehabilitation center. Last year I went to Ohio with my mom and sisters and we visited her at the rehabilitation center. The food they were feeding her was horrible. If you are sick no way should you be eating that kind of food. Fish sticks and a potatoe salad sandwich. Who has even heard of that?

I really do believe that it is not the agenda of the health care system to make us healthy. With all the technology they have and all the studying they have done on the body they should know by now what is healthy and what is not. No one wants to be on medication for the rest of their lives. (Well, they shouldn't want to be).

I really hope that my grandmother will get better and I do hope that she will come and stay with my mom because, that would be much better for her. My mom will defintitely take good care of her.

We all have them maybe once a week, month, or day. Bad hair days. If you are looking for hair products that can get your hair back to the beauty you know it has than I have some products for you. They are called Sizta2Sizta. These products are absolutely fabulous.

If you have a problem with split ends (like I used to) you will find that the halt breakage control control will absolutely get rid of them. Before, I started using this conditioner I was trimming my hair everytime I washed it. Since, I have been using this conditioner I haven't trimmed my hair the last couple of times I washed it.

The shampoo is nice too. It doesn't have all those chemicals in it that the store bought one's have. It cleanses your hair extremely well and it is so gentle that anyone can use it. Both the shampoo and the conditioner come in super size bottles so, you don't have to worry about running out so fast.

The healthy hair oil is great. It really moisturizes your hair and it leaves your scalp tingling and feeling refreshed and smelling good. With peppermint oil, tea tree oil, lavendar oil your hair and scalp is moisturized very well. My sister's husband likes it too. After he trims his beard down he applies the healthy hair oil and it prevents him from breaking out because he has sensitive skin. My sister says she can't keep enough of it around.

I can't say enough good things about these products. All I can say is I'm glad I found them. That's why I wanted to share them with you. So, go ahead and give Sizta2Sizta hair products a try.

I took a poll regarding what people struggled most with. The majority said that they struggled the most with eating healthy. Sometimes it does take one a little while to change one's bad habits. Until, one can become strong enough to resist the foods that are not good for them they must put themselves in an environment where they can make better food choices. Eating and shopping is no different.

When you know better you have to do better. So, where can you shop to make better food and health choices?

Health food stores are a great place to shop. They are small and it's easy to find what you need and you don't get so overwhelmed. I believe that you will also be more likely to try out different foods that you might of not thought of to try which are better for your health.

Here are some name's of health food stores:

1. The Natural Food Patch
2. Trader Joe's
3. Whole Foods Market
4. Wild Oats
5. The Better Health Food Store

Another store that is not a health food store but in my opinion is making an effort to give their customers better food choices is Meijer's.

Eating locally is good for your health too. You should eat foods in your locale because they contain the cure and antidote for all the little viruses, bugs, and special bacterial strains that occur in your area. Today, we are getting food from all over the world, and we don't know what kinds of chemicals they are using to treat them or what's in them.

A prime example is the salmonella problem we are now having. They don't know where the problem is coming from. That is another disadvantage of having food coming from everywhere. They don't know who is doing what.

To find out where you can buy your food locally go to: Local Harvest.

A way that you can tell if your food is grown locally is to look on the package and it will tell you if that fruit or vegetable is grown in your state. Randazzo's sells a lot of Michigan produce and they also have honey from there too. You should be able to know where your food is coming from and this is a way that you can.
