6 Days Till Christmas – Ditch One Bad Habit

6. Ditch One Bad Habit before New Years Eve

News flash. From November 8th 2014 I have given up ALL ALCOHOL.

Why Did Chad Give Up All BOOZE From November 8th 2015 Until September 28th 2018?

21 Days Till Christmas – Play Time

21. Play Time

Playing is a great way to overcome stress.  When you really let your hair down and live in the moment all your worries melt away.  We played and laughed a lot as children so why not as often now? Rediscover your inner-child and play.

Play time

Dream big

“Whether you think you can or not you are probably right.”  Do not be limited in your thinking of what you can achieve.  It is possible but starts with the dream, then comes the motivation, followed by execution.

Great Wall friends

The Great Wall of China Marathon rocked and was once on my bucket list, as was Japan Ironman.  Remember though, it is your bucket so put in there what is dear to you.

Life as a Primed Teenager – Primed Girl

Hi, I am a Primed Girl. A teen who is sporty, loves food and loves to laugh.

My Parents

My parents have my best interest at heart. I love them but they can be annoying (it’s an old people thing). They have been leading a Primed Lifestyle for around 10 months now and I have been “forced” to go along for the ride because they buy all the food in the house! I actually don’t mind.

How a Simple Lifestyle Change Helped Reduce my PCOS (PolyCystic Ovary Syndrome) Condition: A True Story

By: Mae Ilagan from WhenInManila

Early this month, I thought I was sick because of severe bleeding. I’ve been diagnosed with Polycystic ovaries (PCOS) for 10 yrs and despite taking hormone pills prescribed by my doctor to fix my imbalances, my condition never really improved. I gave up on my medications 4 years ago, I didn’t want to take any medicine for they were also expensive. And so for 4 yrs, I’d only have my period 3 times yearly….

My 1st period came March 2014 then the 2nd came around August… 2 weeks after I significantly reduced my white sugar and rice consumption (also no grains and no noodles) as advised by Primed for Your Life Wellness Coach, Chad Davis.

Over-fed and under-nourished7

Then Sept 5 came, I noticed I started having blood discharges. I thought it would last for only a few days, but it never stopped til early Oct. By the 1st weekend of October, the blood flow became severe, that I had to go to the hospital as I thought my bleedings were caused by abnormal growths in my uterus since I never visited my doctor for years.

My OB performed an ultrasound and confirmed that I was actually having a normal period. She was so surprised because I never took any meds and because I had my period again only after a month. She confirmed that it was due to my lifestyle/diet change. She (my doctor) even gave me a go signal to continue on with whatever I was doing and even asked me what I did, so she can also advise her other patients who have PCOS to do what I did! The ultrasound results were very good! I have no cysts nor polyps or any abnormalities. Turns out I’m healthier than ever!

Since I lack exercise, my weight loss is very gradual. I almost gave up and wanted to eat rice again, but little did I know that my lifestyle change was doing major changes in my system! I’m so happy now and I feel much healthier as I never thought my imbalances would improve!

I really thank you, Ms. Cathy and the whole Nurture team because you and Chad Davis were the reasons behind my health success!

Thank you for teaching me how to eat well and for adding years to my life!

Dark Chocolate. Love it and have to eat it!

Like most people I love chocolate, and in particular Dark Chocolate (my definition is 70% cocoa and above). I don’t really need much encouragement to eat Dark Chocolate especially after discovering its many healthy benefits.

8 GOOD REASONS TO EAT DARK CHOCOLATE

(1) No cholesterol
(2) Very low in sodium
(3) High in dietary fiber
(4) Very high in iron
(5) Very high in magnesium
(6) Very high in phosphorus
(7) It tastes great
(8) High in saturated fats which is a great source of energy in a healthy, balanced diet. Saturated fats can help your lungs, bones and immune system among other benefits.

Dark chocolate improves blood pressure and improves blood flow.
