Coping with Stress is the Fountain of Youth

✿
Coping with Stress is the Fountain of Youth, by Lisa-Dawn FlowerChild



Life is all about change. And maybe for you, changing again and again before the end of the day. Having to reformat your reall-ity. The ability to respond to the needed changes is what the phrase “cope-ability” displays.

The level of stress you are currently dealing with may cause the brain to function less efficiently, to age rapidly, or even hopeless feelings of emotion -- depending on how you cope. The science of PNI (psycho-neuro-immunology) has captured the notion that how well you “cope” is how great you look and feel.

Keenly interested in this topic for years, I now write and complete my third book, based completely on this method of moving with the changes as they occur. One cannot be traumatized when you are prepared for what is ahead.


Key Tips on Coping:
1.     Lower your heart rate daily. Find a space and time to dedicate to the adapting of what you would image your greatest struggle. Effective examples: regular flow yoga, deep meditation, pranic breathing, and of course massage therapy.

2.    From the moment you awake, a restful night of sleep is your best medicine. Take a measure of how many times you need to reset your homeostatic (balance) gauge. 

3.    Key: Understanding the adrenal function. Even the basics. If you need an afternoon nap, or feel like one everyday. If you have overworked yourself over time and know that adrenals are needing nurturing. The very best and quickest way to resolve hormonal/glandular imbalance from stress is a combination of royal jelly and bee pollen

Natural Coping Skills
Let’s face it, some people just deal with stress better. On the surface the more sensitive types may show passionate emotional releases. Then, they are the one’s to turn around and heal the quickest as well. Finding optimism, guidance, and knowing how to reset the stress clock to coping mechanisms are crucial to overcome negative setbacks on the PNI scale.

In more difficult cases, individuals may even seek hypnotherapy to assist them in positive focus, planning their dreams, and carrying on with life (Michael Sealy on YouTube has some great work). Remembering when things look their worst, “you are only a thought away from change”, as the unforgettable Dr. Wayne Dyer reminds us from “Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life”. Strength become most apparent right after shifting and now allowing negativity to take place at any level or fiber of your constitution.

Wherever you are on the cope-ability wagon – there is one thing for sure. As we live, age, make important decisions about our future, our ability to cope will be essential to making it through. Because the fact is that everything will be in the past, and lessons learned are the goal of our life mission and destiny. Being more indigo and offering the world your best. It’s a great way to be alive. Wouldn’t you agree?

Great Skin = Strong Bones



Women's Wrinkles and Relation to Bone Density

Scientific studies have now revealed that a women’s
bone density can be determined by
examining her wrinkles 
during her first few years of menopause.

According to these studies, the worse a woman skin wrinkles are during the first few years of menopause, the lower her bone density is. 

Conducted on over 114 women in their late 40's and early 50's who had their last menstrual period within the past three years and who were not taking hormone therapy.

The women were given scores for face and neck wrinkles based on a number of sites with wrinkles and on the depth of the wrinkles. 

Moreover, the skin firmness or rigidity was measured at the forehead and the cheek with a device called a durometer. 

Great Skin = Strong Bones

Besides that participants also underwent measurement of bone density by dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) and by a portable heel ultrasound device. The researchers found a significant opposite correlation between the wrinkle score and bone density, means higher the score of wrinkles (or the more wrinkles these women had), the lower the bone density. This relationship was evident at all skeletal sites: hip, lumbar spine and heel. This was independent of age, body composition or other factors known to influence bone density.

So, how do I maintain strong bones?
What this means for us ladies, is the stronger the bones - the more youthful we can stay as we age. To be realistic this is a lifelong process. While in my teens my diet was horrible, but I played sports and had a vigorous exercise program everyday (1-2 hours at the gym, aerobic/weights. In my twenties practiced acid/alkline approach to eating and living. This revolutionized my health. And in my thirties consumed only green products: green drinks, AFA algae from Klammath lake. Didn't really even care to drink water. The green drinks and algae were my daily beverage - and very high in calcium/magnesium.

Did you know that over-the-counter or prescribed calcium has a very high incidence of settling in the venous system? This basically clogs the pipes of our heart and cardiac system. Not good for the blood, the heart and the entire circulation system. This has been a problem with heart patients with an incidence of atherosclerosis, and proven in numerous cardiology findings to contribute to heart attack. So my thinking has always been that if it is not getting to bone and settling in the venous system, why do it? Why not go back to nature for the answers to bone health?


SOLUTION: Bone Density
There are great sources of calcium from plants, roses, but watch the corn sources (corn contains a high level of molds from the tusks). Even broccoli has been known to be higher in calcium than cow's milk. The Nutrition Almanac has been a great source to see what foods are known for their mineral makeup. It's not gospel truth, because every broccoli batch depend on growers care, soil, and shipping - GMO. My favorite product to take for a calcium supplement to my daily diet is Trace Minerals Company. It's a calcium liquid. I have trusted this particular product for many years and will continue to call it the best. The have an array of other minerals that are needed to build and maintain bone density.
