Smart Living Today Try and find time for your health & wellness now, so you don’t have to make time for your illness later. Thank you and warm a welcome! Captain Brian
Founder

If you are here to support one of the non-profit organizations we partner with, a special thank you. Check out the group and i will be in touch to discuss next steps. Were like minded here in that it makes sense to invest in being proactive and maintaining health, rather than waiting for issues to crop up. We call it "health care" vs "sick care". Some thoughts on embracing a preventative mindset:


- Make small, sustainable changes - Going all in on major lifestyle changes rarely sticks long term. Focus on building habits over time.

- Don't wait for the perfect time - There's never a perfect moment to get healthier. Start taking small steps now.

- Focus on how you'll feel - Dwell on how much better you'll feel with more energy, better sleep, less stress. That motivation lasts.

- Be patient - Meaningful change takes time. Stick with new habits through ups and downs.

- Enjoy the process - Find fun ways to exercise and move daily. Healthy eating can be delicious too!

- Do it for those you love - Your health impacts your whole family and community. Lead by example.

- Prevent pain - Avoiding illness, injury, and burnout is worthwhile, even if you feel ok now.

- Invest in yourself - You're worth it! Your health is your most valuable asset. I look forward to you being part of this positive community and learning more about maintaining wellness. The admin and many members share information about the Wellness Company and their safe & healthy product line, but feel free to contribute in any way you feel is beneficial for all. I invite you to look at an overview about the Wellness Company and see if it make sense for your family. There are regularly scheduled meetings vis stream yard that you can attend for free and check it out. Check the events section for the next one.

Guess I’ll have another cup!

Coffee Consumption Guidance
Most adults can safely drink up to five 8-ounce cups of black coffee per day, and regular consumption may improve cardiovascular health, the American Heart Association said yesterday.

An analysis of recent studies suggests consuming about 400 milligrams of caffeine daily may lower the risk of Type 2 diabetes, stroke, heart disease, and heart failure. However, because most research is observational, scientists are still unsure why caffeine may benefit heart health. Some studies suggest antioxidants in coffee help reduce inflammation, indicating not all caffeine sources offer the same effects. Synthetic caffeine products, such as energy drinks, have been linked to higher risk of high blood pressure and irregular heart rhythms. Coffee's benefits also diminish when sugar and high-fat creamers are added.

Brewing methods may matter, too. Cardiovascular benefits have been linked most strongly to paper-filtered or instant coffee. Unfiltered methods, including French press and espresso, retain cafestol, a natural compound that can raise artery-clogging cholesterol.

Coffee IS good for you!

No less than two recent medical studies suggest that drinking coffee is much healthier than popular belief would have it. One of these was a long-term study into the effects of caffeine on the central nervous system involving more than 1400 people in Sweden and Finland. People who drink three to five cups per day may have a much lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia than people who drink little or no coffee. Another study, carried out in Boston and published in the scientific journal Circulation, revealed that the risk of a stroke was reduced by 20% in people who drink more than four cups per day. And you won't find a better cup than from Mountain Cabin Coffee☕️

A special message from Melaleuca President Cole Clinger:

As part of America’s 250th birthday, Forbes magazine has announced a list of the top 250 living influential persons who Forbes is calling “THE 250 GREATEST SELF-MADE AMERICANS.”

Forbes ranks Melaleuca’s Founder, Frank VanderSloot, as number 43 out of its list of 250 exceptional living Americans.

The list designates only those who are still living and began their lives disadvantaged and conquered adversity to become an individual that has had a major impact on America and the lives of Americans.

Frank is ranked 43rd on the list!

You will note that this list contains star athletes, famous movie stars, famous politicians, and other celebrities. These celebrities have certainly had an impact on American lives. But in my opinion, very few of them have actually changed the lives of people. I feel Frank is the exception here. Always the champion of “the little guy,” Frank is on this list, not because of how well-known he is, but because of how many lives have been changed by Melaleuca.

It’s interesting to note that Forbes listed Frank ABOVE such well-known names as:

#50 Arnold Schwarzenegger
#52 Whoopi Goldberg
#60 Bruce Springsteen
#65 Barbra Streisand
#69 Stevie Wonder
#70 Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson
#84 Jerry Seinfeld
#100 Willie Nelson
#104 Serena Williams
#127 Al Pacino
#130 Cher
#185 Sylvester Stallone
#192 Daymond John
#195 Carol Burnett
#204 Mark Cuban
#231 Stephen King
#246 Barbara Corcoran
#250 Martha Stewart

Frank says his name on this list among these very famous people should not be seen as a tribute to him – but rather should be seen as a tribute to the tens of thousands of people who built the company that he founded. He notes that the only reason he is considered to having had an impact on Americans is because of those leaders who joined him on his mission to enhance lives. He notes that he would not be on this list – or any other list – if it were not for them.
