Free Health Assessment
Every now and then, I am faced with the question…WHAT MINERAL SUPPLEMENT(S) to buy or use, What brand is better and why. For sometime now, I blindly bought and used what appealed to me. However a few weeks ago, I had the privilege to get a free health assessment and recommendations on what vitamins and mineral supplements to buy and use. The results have been amazing so far.
The health assessment provided me with information on Body Weight, BMI, Body Fat %, Skeletal Muscle %, Visceral Fat Level, Resting Metabolism and Body Age. With the results, I received a list of recommended mineral supplements which I acted upon promptly. After all, an investment in personal health, is an investment in a better tomorrow.
In addition, the brand of supplements recommended is Nutrilite (Trade Mark). Nutrilite supplements are organic and plant based. Furthermore, the company controls every step of the process from seed to supplement. Add to that, 180 days customer satisfaction guarantee! This link has information as to why chose the Nutrilite brand https://www.amway.com/faithandtony/nutrition/nutrilite/why-nutrilite

Lenten Period
It is that time of the year when people of various walks of life and beliefs make a decision to give up something special as an act of self denial for the reparation of sins. This year is not different either. In deed, there I a lot to atone for. From the scandals in the Catholic Church and in many other churches that are yet to be exposed. In addition, the abuse or abuses in many families that go unreported and covered up. These list of pains and wounds is certainly endless, but as faithful Christians and citizens we can use this Lenten Period to atone for all these sins.
What is important, is not what one decides to give up, but a sincere commitment to fasting and prayer. More so, fasting and fasting in secret that God may bless you one for their faithful acts. Furthermore, give up what you save in the process. For example, one year I gave up a dollar a day for 40 days https://www.drandkids.com/40-days-40-acts-of-kindness-40-acts-of-gratitude-40/. I sent the money to help a mission ran by missionary priests. For it is in giving that we receive…and a generous giver is a blessed person. Remember the measure in which you give, you shall likewise receive.
In summation, the decision is yours, the sacrifice is yours, and the blessings and benefits are yours as well. However, those acts of kindness, mercy and love not only benefit you but also flow into the world to make it a much better place than it already is. Together we can achieve much. Fast! Pray! Penance!
Human Heart
Do we really appreciate it enough?
Its Valentine’s Day…the one day where there are more flowers, affectionate messages and heart symbols exchanged than any other. However, just how much do we value or appreciate the source of all that love or affection. Astonishingly , chances are, in the hustle and bustle of life, the human heart is the least remembered.
The heart is the most efficient pump known to man, working 24/7, beating approximately 86000 to 144000 per day and close to 2 billion times in a lifetime. Moreover, it is the heart that defines a person’s demeanor. For from the heart comes all forms of good or malice. According to St. Mathew, ‘For from the HEART come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, unchastity, theft, false witness, blasphemy. These are what defile a person.’ Mathew 15: 19-20. It comes as no surprise then that the psalmist prayed, “A clean HEART create for me, God…” Ps 51:12.
We at Dr&Kids have grown to appreciate the human heart in more ways than not. A little shy away from a one-year adversary of a cardiomyopathy diagnosis, over 700 ECGs later we know just how wonderful and mysterious the human heart can be. Take for example, we celebrate every time our daughter has a ‘normal’ heart beat rhythm. In addition, we recognize the 95% times she has an irregular heart rhythm. Every now and then we get a little concerned if her irregular heart rhythm really looks ‘out of place.’ However, she continues to lead a completely normal life with no medication or assistive devices.
As we celebrate Valentine’s day we pray and thank God for all hearts. We thank God as many times as all the heartbeats from all of creation on this day. Altogether, we join the psalmist in praying, “A clean heart create in us, God.” We wish you a happy Valentine’s Day. It is also heart health month, have your heart checked…you may never know what mystery awaits you…
