Women Feel the Chill of Winter More Than Men
Cold weather affects people differently, but did you realize that women feel the chill of cold weather more than men?
Women generally have less muscle, and muscles produce body heat. We’re smaller too, so we have a slightly lower metabolic rate and we generate less warmth.
Even though we tend to have more padding on hips and thighs than men, men are more likely to have extra fat around the waist and upper torso, where it helps insulate their vital organs and prevent core temperature from decreasing.
Further, blood circulation to arms and legs is less vigorous in women, which is why hands and feet often are the first to feel frosty.
The temperature of each body part is directly related to blood flow to that area. The more blood, the more warmth. When your core temperature drops, the autonomic nervous system commands blood vessels near the surface of the skin to constrict. This redirects blood toward vital organs such as the heart and brains.
So ladies, what can you do to continue to function when mother-nature turns cold? Well, here are a few tips that just might help.
- Cooking creates as much heat as walking. Housecleaning can be as warming as calisthenics.
- Stand rather than sit and you will increase heat production by 20 percent. For icy hands, swing arms windmill-style - centrifugal force drives blood into the fingers.
- Dressing in layers helps keep cold at bay, as does eating. Hot foods and beverages give the nervous system a warmth signal that encourages blood flow to the extremities. Spicy foods do it too.
- Hot coffee and tea are not helpful because caffeine constricts blood vessels, making extremities colder. It also is dehydrating, which interferes with temperature regulation. Alcohol also dehydrates and may suppress shivering, through which the body warms itself.
- Medications that constrict blood vessels can also make you hypersensitive to cold. Talk to your physicians about what your prescriptions contain. Nicotine also restricts blood vessels.
- You can make yourself more comfortable outside. If you are standing still, stick some insulation - a piece of cardboard or a pile of leaves - between your feet and the ground. Pull a scarf over your nose. Exhaling warms the scarf, heating air as you inhale.
- For indoor comfort, wear oven mitts when reaching into the freezer. Use tongs to pick up ice cubs. Pour cold drinks into a thermal cup or mug with a handle.
- Install a programmable thermostat so you can keep furnace heat on high until after you are asleep.
- Keep your blood flowing by staying healthy. A healthy immune system is the key to a healthy life. Drink 4 ounces of GoChi daily to keep your immune system in optimal shape!
Now I have to admit that I am guilty of drinking coffee when I’m cold. But after doing this bit of research, I am definitely going to rethink that theory. Plus, I maintain my health not only through my diet, but I also take a supplement that is specifically targeted to creating a healthy immune system. It is called GoChi, and not only is it a delicious way to start the day, it contains all of the necessary minerals and vitamins that your body needs. It is safe for adults, children, senior citizens, nursing mothers and even your pets!

Tips for Creating a Healthy Life
If you’re like most people, you’re probably looking for ways to look and feel your best. The following tips from the U.S. Government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will not only help you to look better and feel better, but they can also help you to reduce your risk of developing long-term serious health problems.
Eat healthy. What you eat and drink and what you don’t eat and drink can definitely make a difference to your health. Eating five or more servings of fruits and vegetables a day and less saturated fat can help improve your health and may reduce many health risks. Have a balanced diet, and watch how much you eat.
Keep a healthy weight. Obesity is at an all-time high in the United States and Canada, and the epidemic may be getting worse. Those who are overweight or obese have increased risks for diseases and conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke. Eat better, get regular exercise, and see your healthcare provider about any health concerns to make sure you are on the right track to staying healthy.
Get moving. More than 50 percent of American men and women do not get enough physical activity to provide health benefits. For adults, 30 minutes of moderate physical activity on most, preferably all, days of the week is recommended. It doesn’t take a lot of time or money, but it does take commitment. Start slowly, work up to a satisfactory level, and don’t overdo it. You can develop one routine, or you can do something different every day. Find fun ways to stay in shape and feel good, such as dancing, gardening, cutting the grass, swimming, walking, or jogging.
Be smoke-free. Health concerns associated with smoking include cancer and lung disease. Smoking triples the risk of dying from heart disease among those who are middle-aged. Second-hand smoke - smoke that you inhale when others smoke - also affects your health. If you smoke, quit today! Help lines, counseling, medications, and other forms of support are available to help you quit.
Get routine exams and screenings. Sometimes they’re once a year. Other times they’re more or less often. Based on your age, health history, lifestyle, and other important issues, you and your healthcare provider can determine how often you need to be examined and screened for certain diseases and conditions. These include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, sexually transmitted diseases, and cancers of the skin, prostate, and colon. When problems are found early, your chances for treatment and cure are better. Routine exams and screenings can help save lives.
Manage stress. Perhaps now more than ever before, job stress poses a threat to the health of workers and, in turn, to the health of organizations. Balancing obligations to your employer and your family can be challenging. What’s your stress level today? Protect your mental and physical health by engaging in activities that help you manage your stress at work and at home.
Know yourself and your risks. Your parents and ancestors help determine some of who you are. Your habits, work and home environments, and lifestyle also help to define your health and your risks. You may be at an increased risk for certain diseases or conditions because of what you do, where you work, and how you play. Being healthy means doing some homework, knowing yourself, and knowing what’s best for you.., because you are one of a kind.
Be safe - protect yourself. What comes to mind when you think about safety and protecting yourself? Is it fastening seat belts, applying sunscreen, wearing helmets, or having smoke detectors? It’s all of these and more. It’s everything from washing your hands to watching your relationships. Did you know that men at work die most frequently from motor vehicle incidents, machine-related injuries, homicides, and falls? Take steps to protect yourself and others wherever you are.
Be good to yourself. Health is not merely the absence of disease; it’s a lifestyle. Whether it’s getting enough sleep, relaxing after a stressful day, or enjoying a hobby, it’s important to take time to be good to yourself. Take steps to balance work, home, and play. Pay attention to your health, and make healthy living a part of your life.
To these great lifestyle tips, we’d like to add two recommendations that we believe will help you tremendously in your quest for vibrant good health:
1). Get an edge in the fight against aging with Daily Edge. More than a mere multivitamin, Daily Edge is a major breakthrough in cellular nutrition. Formulated straight from the headlines of leading scientific journals, easy-to-swallow Daily Edge capsules bring you the 66 most-studied vitamins, minerals, co-factors, antioxidants, and food-derived health-rejuvenating nutrients, delivered in the precise potencies most recommended by the latest research studies. Daily Edge is the most powerful daily multi-nutrient formula you’ll find anywhere at any price.
2). Drink 4 oz. (120 ml) of GoChi every day!
GoChi - Participants in groundbreaking clinical study report experiencing significantly improved feelings of health in just 14 days!
In a recent human clinical trial featured in the peer-reviewed Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), participants drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported experiencing significant improvements in 13 diverse areas of health and well-being in as little as 14 days!
In two subsequent human studies, blood tests on participants drinking GoChi showed significant improvements in the body’s antioxidant status and in 3 key areas of immunity.
The publication of our first groundbreaking study by the independent experts of a peer-reviewed publication such as JACM represents a first for a functional juice beverage in the Direct Selling industry, and it demonstrates FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.
Here’s to your health!

WARNING - Another Energy Drink WITH Alcohol!
First we had Joose, then RockStar 21 - and now MillerCoors LLC is coming out with yet ANOTHER energy drink that is similar in packaging to Red Bull.
And, to make matters worse, it is a caffeine-infused alcoholic energy drink. They call it Sparks Red, and is now considered a “recipe for disaster” because adding caffeine to alcoholic beverages reduces drinkers’ sense of intoxication. This new juice is set to be released October 1, 2008.
Energy drinks range from 2 ounces to 16 ounces per serving - and is loaded with caffeine, sugar, calories, etc. There are NO nutritional values in these drinks. They get you hopped up with caffeine and sugar.., and then you CRASH.
What good is that?
Want to see a comparison on energy drinks and what healthy alternatives you can choose? Visit this link: http://www. gojihealthappeal. com/labels/Chi3. html Believe me, it’s less expensive too!
Don’t let your kids fool you.., become educated!
Have an enlightened day!

Are You a Morning Person, or a Night Owl?
| If you’re one of those who can spring out of bed each morning feeling ready to conquer the world, then we’ll excuse you from reading this article. But please read on if you or someone you know could use a little help in shaking that morning grogginess and feeling more alert, alive, and productive.
The most common reason for difficulty in awakening is simply not getting enough good quality sleep. Most adults require 6 to 8 hours, and adolescents and teens can need up to 10 hours per night, although it’s not easy to convince a teenager that sleeping is more important than late-night computer gaming or text messaging with friends!
Hurried late risers tend to skip breakfast, the most important meal of the day. Without proper nutrition to fuel your brain and body, your productivity at work or at school will suffer. And you may be surprised to learn that morning “brain fog” is one of the leading causes of automobile accidents. If you have trouble awakening, you can even injure your back. While you sleep, your spinal discs fill with fluid, and that’s why you’re actually taller when you first wake up. But your back is also unstable until you have been awake and moving enough to squeeze out the excess fluid. If you’re rushing in the morning, you run a much greater risk of hurting your back. Lastly, you can hurt your relationships. Nobody likes a grouch, and if you’re unpleasant in the morning, you’ll be avoided by friends, co-workers, and loved ones. There is a chance that your difficulty in awakening might have a medical cause, so you’ll want to speak with your doctor if you suffer from one of the following, which are more prevalent than you might think: Sleep apnea. This is a treatable disorder in which breathing is disrupted during sleep. Symptoms of sleep apnea include snoring, waking up with a headache, and waking up during the night. Depression. Some individuals, particularly children and adolescents, deal with depression by sleeping a lot more than they actually need to. Periodic Limb Movements. These are movements of the arms and legs during sleep, and the effect can be like getting a tiring workout instead of a good night’s rest. If your problem is not medical in origin, there are some helpful tips that can make your mornings a lot easier:

| GoChi – Clinical study participants report easier awakening. |
 For countless generations, the goji berry has been helping the people of Asia to find healthful, restful sleep and an easier morning awakening. No goji product is more potent than FreeLife’s GoChi, and now its wide-ranging benefits have been clinically demonstrated in three clinical studies. In a recent randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled human trial, participants drinking a daily serving of just 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi reported experiencing significant improvement in sleep quality and ease of awakening in as little as 14 days!
This groundbreaking clinical study has been published in the highly regarded Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM), and it can also be viewed on the U.S. Government’s encyclopedic PubMed website at www.pubmed.gov. The acceptance of our study by the independent experts of a peer-reviewed publication such as JACM represents a first for a functional juice beverage in the Direct Selling industry, and it demonstrates FreeLife’s ongoing commitment to supporting its claims with solid scientific research.

If you’re having difficulty awakening in the morning, there can be consequences. Feeling rushed in the morning increases your body’s production of stress hormones. Abnormal overproduction of stress hormones is thought to be the cause of many diseases, including obesity, heart disease, and high blood pressure.Comments
Running on Empty? Here’s How to Fill Up Your Energy Tank!
Can you imagine what you could do with a little more energy? Perhaps you could get a little more work done, spend some more time playing with your kids, power your way through a workout at the gym, or perhaps just do 
something fun. Sounds appealing, doesn’t it? Well, the sad fact is that although many of us may have the best intentions, we simply run out of gas.
A lack of energy can have many causes. The U.S. National Institutes of Health tell us that these can include anemia, depression, sleep disorders, bad nutrition habits, diabetes, or a sedentary lifestyle. Certain medications may also cause a lack of energy, including antihistamines for allergies, blood pressure medicines, sleeping pills, prednisone, and diuretics.
Low energy can affect you in some important ways that you may not have considered. It can rob you of focus, and that can often lead to mental lapses and bad decision-making. Your work may suffer, too, as low energy steals the momentum you need to meet deadlines, arrive on time for meetings, and reach project milestones. The most successful people in business are those who can recognize an opportunity and have the ability to quickly seize it. With insufficient energy, the parade could pass you by, and you might not even know it!
Here are some great lifestyle tips that can help you to fill up your energy tank and improve your productivity:
- Get more exercise. If you’re feeling tired, you might be surprised to learn that a walk may be better than a nap for boosting your energy levels. Any kind of physical activity will help to burn fat and increase your metabolism, and exercise will also improve your mood, helping you to feel more energized. In an important recent University of Georgia study, researchers found that sedentary people can increase their energy levels by 20 percent and reduce fatigue by an amazing 65 percent just by doing regular low-impact exercise. In another study, the same researchers found that the energy benefit from exercise was even greater than the improvement from using prescription stimulant drugs!
- Take control of your health issues. Be sure to see your doctor if you have high blood pressure, thyroid problems, diabetes, or other energy-depleting medical conditions.
- Sleep under comfortable conditions. Good quality sleep is essential for maintaining your energy reserves. Make sure that your bedroom is quiet, dark, and at a cool temperature that will promote healthful, deep sleep. Also, it may be time to replace that creaky mattress and lumpy pillow. Your energy levels will thank you!
- Drink 4 ounces (120 ml) of GoChi every day!

How’s Your Happiness Quotient?
How’s Your Happiness Quotient?
If you’re like most people, you are actively seeking more happiness in your life. But you may be looking in the wrong places, and that may not be your fault. Turn on your TV, read a magazine, or log on to the Internet, and you’re assaulted by a never-ending bombardment of advertising pitches. They’ll try to convince you that happiness can be yours for the price of a new car, an expensive watch, or a trendy cell phone, but the sad truth is that the pleasure of a new acquisition fades quickly and will do nothing to increase your happiness quotient.
Can wealth make you happier? You’ve often heard that money can’t buy happiness, but few of us actually believe it. And yet, research has shown that once your basic needs are met, additional income does little to raise your sense of satisfaction with life. Additional income can raise your future happiness index, however, by helping you to secure your retirement goals or your children’s education.
Some people believe that youth is the key to happiness, but the fact is that older people are more consistently satisfied with their lives than the young, and they’re less prone to dark moods, too. Perhaps you’re thinking that a move to warmer, sunnier weather might make you happier? Well, think again! Tropical islands and the romantic French Riviera may be happy places to visit, but a recent study at England’s University of Leicester has shown that the world’s happiest people are the Danes, even though the climate can be unrelentingly cloudy, cold, and damp.
The good news is that you don’t have to move to Copenhagen to be happy. You can increase your happiness quotient over the long term by adopting healthy lifestyle habits such as getting enough sleep, exercising regularly, and making time for friends and family.
But what if you’re feeling blue right now? Here are some strategies that can help you to lift your spirits immediately (excerpted from Gretchen Rubin’s enlightening blog, The Happiness Project). Try to check off as many of the following items as possible, and you’ll really see a difference in your mood!
Boost your energy. Stand up and pace while you talk on the phone or, better still, take a brisk ten-minute walk outdoors. Research shows that the activity and sunlight are good for your focus, your mood, and the retention of information.
Reach out to friends. Having warm, close bonds with other people is one of the keys to happiness, so take the time to stay in touch.
Rid yourself of a nagging task. Crossing an irksome chore off your to-do list will give you a big rush of energy and cheer, and you’ll be surprised that you procrastinated for so long.
Create a calmer environment. Clear some physical and mental space around your desk by sorting papers, pitching junk, or even just making your piles neater. A large stack of little tasks can feel overwhelming, but often just a few minutes of work can make a sizeable dent.
Lay the groundwork for some future fun. Order a novel you’ve been wanting to read, or plan a weekend activity that brings you pleasure. Try to involve friends or family, as well; people enjoy almost all activities more when they’re with other people than when they’re alone.
Do a good deed. Introduce two people who could help each other, or shoot someone an email with some useful information or gratifying praise. If you do good, you’ll feel good - this really works.
Act happy. Put a smile on your face right now, even if you’re faking it. Research shows that even an artificially induced smile has a positive influence on your emotions. And if you’re smiling, other people will perceive you as being friendlier and more approachable.
Listen to your favorite music. Studies show that listening to music is one of the most effective ways to boost your energy and mood (second only to exercise). In fact, in one study, 92% of people felt happier when they listened to music they liked. For an added boost, dance around the room, too.
