Your February Health Success Free Monthly ezine February 03, 2026 |
| Hi there
I hope you enjoy the e-zine as much as I do writing it. Index: Warren’s Notes :
Greetings, We are into the new year, and I hope things are going well for you so far. One of our motivational quotes today is from Karen Lamb: "A year from now you may wish you had started today." We are past the New Year Resolution time and many of us have Been There and Done That and are reverting to the old ways. I suggest that we revisit and think about this again. Personally, I’ve had additional business commitments for the past 18 months and focusing on that, and other personal commitments, had meant no time for the gym sessions I’d been doing, twice a week, for over a decade. I’ve still been averaging 7,000 to 8,000 steps a day, so have not turned into a sloth, but it’s been interesting to watch the effect on my body from not doing the heavier exercise. I’ve noticed more attention required to keep balance when reaching out or moving over rough ground. At the end of 2025 I believed things were in more order in my life and I could recommence the gym visits. 2 weeks into the gym sessions now the weights are still very light, as they should be, but already they are increasing.
We know that without exercise we lose muscle mass steadily. In my late 60’s now I would have lost 30% or 40% of younger lean muscle mass without that weight training or other resistance exercise.
12 months of not doing regular exercise has not created much of a problem and recommencing will mean that the muscle is maintained. Every day my wife and I
start the day with our Herbal.Life shakes and nutrition tables, which underpins healthy living, . . . though I have never given up that first strong cup of brewed coffee. My point here is that even though New Year has passed it is still a good time to make the decision to get into some high quality nutrition (ask me about the Herbal.Life products) and to plan out an exercise routine which will fit into your lifestyle, which you enjoy, and which you will be happy to sustain over time. I hope you enjoy our newsletter today and wish you the best for coming month. Warren.

Optimal Health Tip:Melatonin Treats InsomniaWhenever insomnia hits, many people will automatically take a prescription medication to help them get to sleep. Other people, however, want something that’s more natural that won’t have any lingering side effects. One of these more natural treatments is the use of melatonin. Melatonin is a hormone that’s produced by your body. The location for the production of this hormone is found in the pineal gland - a tiny gland that rests at the base of your brain. It works like a natural alarm clock. What this hormone does is it helps regulate your sleep and awake times. Everyone has this hormone. When it’s working right, it kicks in and starts a series of changes within your body in preparation for sleep. The first thing that it does is to drop your body temperature. Not by a lot, but enough to make you feel tired. When your body temperature drops, your body - as well as your brain - begins
the shift from awake mode to sleep. As this shift begins to take place, you’ll start to get drowsy and then you’ll drift off to sleep. That’s the way that your body’s natural production of melatonin is supposed to work. However, as you grow older, your body produces less of this hormone. Many people think that this step begins in middle age of 40 and over. But the loss of melatonin actually starts once you reach the age of thirty. Once you reach the point where there’s less of this hormone being produced, your body will then experience trouble trying to regulate your sleep cycle. You won’t have the same restful nights that you once did. You’ll find that it’s more difficult to fall asleep and when you do get to sleep, you wake suddenly for no reason. People who have too much melatonin are often excessively sleepy, which can lead to insomnia because they sleep so much, it creates a cycle of oversleeping,
then not being able to sleep. You can find melatonin in the health food or natural remedies section of your grocery store. You can also find it through online shops. The amount of the supplement that you’ll need to take will depend on the brand that you buy. It can take a few weeks for melatonin to build back up in your body so that you gain the benefit from it. When it does, you’ll get your sleep cycle restored. However, in the meantime, there are some other things that you can do to help find relief from the insomnia. Motivating Quotes:
"It is better to be looked over than overlooked." – Mae West "Creative minds have always been known to survive any kind of bad training." "Even cowards can endure hardship; only the brave can endure suspense." "To err is human, but it feels divine." "Just remember, we're all in this alone." "I have a simple philosophy. Fill what's empty. Empty what's full. And scratch where it itches." "The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." "A year from now you may wish you had started today."

PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SMOOTHIE Are Food Cravings Sabotaging Your Weight Loss?
Over 40 million people start a diet every year. While some of them lose a little bit of weight, complete success can be difficult due to the struggles that always pops up. One of the biggest of these issues that can sabotage weight loss is food cravings. What Causes Food Cravings? Sometimes a food craving just appears without warning. You could be going about your day when all of a sudden you feel you just have to have that food. But other times, a food craving is triggered. You might see your favorite kind of donut in the break room at work. Or you might get a whiff of someone’s French fries. You could see a commercial that shows a food that you like. The next thing you know, all you can think about is that food. The reason that
this happens has to do with your brain. When you eat the foods that you like, they taste good, and you feel happy. Your brain catalogs this response in its memory system. You can develop cravings out of habit. For example, if after working a long day, you always have a sweet treat afterward, this habit can trigger a craving. When you choose not to have that item, this craving can intensify. The intensity occurs because it’s common for people to have food triggers that are associated with habitual behavior. Your brain associates that reward with something you deserve that makes you happy. “You finished work, you deserve something sweet,” is the message that your brain has stored. Nutritional deficiencies can also cause cravings. Your body must have certain vitamins and minerals in order to work correctly. If you’re not getting these essential nutrients, it can cause cravings. This happens
because your body is trying to get you to give it something that it needs to be able to continue to work well. Your emotions can drive cravings, too. If you feel sad or upset or even happy, this can make you desire a specific food. What most people do when they’re going through something that affects them emotionally, is they turn to food. It’s their go-to emotional release or celebratory action. This action is one that a person can do without even thinking about it. That’s why you can find yourself halfway through eating a cookie, then realize that you weren’t even planning to have that. It just happened. This goes back to the reward center of the brain. When you’re dealing with emotions and you’ve eaten in the past as a way of dealing with the emotion, whether it was a positive or negative one, it made you feel better. It lifted a bad mood or solidified a good one. Your brain released feel
good chemicals that boosted your mood, whether happy or sad, and this triggers the reward center for both past and future behavior. If you’re tired, this can cause food cravings even if you’re not truly hungry. That’s because the body gains energy when you sleep. But if you don’t get enough sleep or you’re dealing with a lot of mentally or physically taxing things during the day, you don’t have enough energy so the body pushes you toward food as a way of trying to get that energy that it needs. Some Cravings Hit at Certain Times in Your Life While cravings can be commonplace and a daily occurrence, there are specific times when you’re more likely to experience them. Women who are pregnant will go through food cravings. Part of the reason for this has to do with what happens to the hormones. Your hormones change and in turn cause pregnant women to want certain foods. These cravings can come and go with
most women experiencing them more often during the first trimester. However, the cravings can appear throughout the length of the pregnancy. They can be triggered by a lack of proper nutrients in diet as well as hormonal reasons. Cravings can be an issue after giving birth as well. If you recently had a child and are trying to lose the weight that you gain but find yourself struggling with food cravings, hormones can be an issue during this time as well. That’s because your hormones change again once you’ve given birth. The same thing can happen during a menstrual cycle. When you’re having a cycle, you develop cravings that are brought on by hormonal changes as well. These hormonal changes, specifically your estrogen and progesterone can cause you to want to eat certain foods. If you also deal with PMS, this can heighten the cravings before your monthly cycle even begins. Your emotions
before and during your cycle can also play a part. When you’re feeling more emotional due to hormonal changes, it can cause you to have cravings. Everyone experiences stress at some point in their lives. Stress is something that can also make you crave food. That’s because when you’re under stress, your body will start to release more cortisol. This hormone causes your appetite to increase with a focus on foods that are carb heavy or sweet.

Featured Store Product:THERMOGENISISThe NEW Development in Weight Management and Energy! (Taken from 9 to 5 magazine) Scientists believe the concept of thermogenisis is the most exciting news from weight management research in fifty years. Thermogenisis, meaning the generation of heat, is a normal process, like digestion, in which the body’s brown adipose (fatty) tissue (BAT) burns up the calories your body doesn’t need, thus creating a natural energy. Being overfat or obese, occurs primarily when BAT is not functioning properly, and the body must deal with excess calories by storing them as white fat. Scientists have discovered that by combining specific amounts of certain “totally natural” thermogenetic substances, it is possible to create a basically new compound with an “amazingly safe” thermogenetic action! THERMOGENISIS WILL DO THE FOLLOWING: * Prevent dietary lipids from being stored as white fat * Convert current white fat back into soluble lipids to be burned off * Burn off the soluble lipids * Increase the body’s energy by increasing the flow of blood, oxygen and nutrients to muscle tissue, . . . and * Remove the craving for high calorie food that causes the problem in the first place. THERMOJETICS ™ by Herbalife. THERMOJETICS ™ Beverage can be taken in hot or cold water, added to soup, Orange juice, Tomato juice etc. Only limited by your own creativity. It activates the thermogenetic process as described in article above. Often described as “rocket fuel”, due to the lift in mental clarity and either increased, or more sustainable energy. WHAT PEOPLE EXPERIENCE . . . * Clarity of thinking * Increased energy * Good for hangovers * Feeling of well being * Weight loss * Size loss Visit here to get STARTED on Shop for Instant Herbal Beverage Peach Flavour If you are ordering add our 15% discount code: HLIntro15 to receive discount on your order Who Should Get a Therapeutic Massage?
When your muscles are flexible, you have a greater range of motion and are less likely to experience any possible injuries. For that reason, athletes can benefit from a therapeutic massage. Not just to help them deal with any injuries to the muscle they experienced from playing, but to help them prevent any damage to the muscle before they play. Getting the massage helps them limber up and be able to play relaxed. Some people are surprised to learn that pregnant women can benefit from having a therapeutic massage. With the use of a table that’s specifically designed to accommodate pregnant women, the massage can give you relief
from a number of symptoms often associated with pregnancy. The massage can help you get rid of stress and headaches. It can also help with muscle aches and joint stiffness that being pregnant can cause. Pregnant women often experience lower back pain and tiredness. The massage can help relieve the back pain and restore energy by boosting the serotonin levels. One thing that many people have in common are headaches. You can have headaches that are caused by stress, which lead to tension headaches. Or, you can suffer with migraines. The massage helps end the pain that you’re experiencing because it relieves the tension by pressing the trigger points. For people who are struggling with high blood pressure, there are a lot of symptoms that go along with that - such as chest pain, dizziness, and not feeling well. The massage can help relieve these side effects. There are hundreds of thousands of people who
struggle to live their day to day lives with illnesses that drain their energy and cause them pain throughout their body. Autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis are one example - and so is fibromyalgia. For people with fibromyalgia, just getting through a normal day can make them feel as if they’ve run a marathon. A therapeutic massage can relieve the painful muscle and joint aches that people with this condition have to deal with. The massage can also help alleviate the stress of having to live with a chronic health condition. For a variety of reasons, some people struggle with insomnia. This condition can lead to all sorts of muscle aches, headaches and even depression. Massage can help relax the body, relieve tension, ease the muscle aches and alleviate the depression - enabling the person struggling with insomnia to get a good night’s sleep. People who have disabilities that can cause painful
muscle cramping or twisting can benefit from this type of massage and so can anyone having to deal with a minor or even a major injury. Therapeutic massage is especially helpful for women who experience trouble during their monthly cycle. If you’re someone who regularly battles PMS or bloating, the massage can help relieve the systems and make you feel better. How to Find the Right Massage Therapist Whether you’re someone who’s new to getting a therapeutic massage or someone who has relocated and needs to find a new one, there are some steps that you need to take in choosing your specialist. Having the right massage therapist is important because you want someone who’s professional that you can trust. Don’t use the services of a massage therapist who isn’t licensed. This helps protect you to make sure that the person conducting the massage is trained on how to massage without
causing damage to your body. You’ll want to make sure that the massage therapist keeps good records of your visit. There are a couple of reasons for this. First, because record keeping will ensure that you get the best possible massage every time that you come. Your therapist will be able to have a record or a timeline regarding your treatments and that way he or she can tell if something is working or not. Areas of the body that don’t respond to massage therapy can signify a greater problem - and by keeping records, your massage therapist will be able to spot this. Second, you want to make sure that records are kept for insurance purposes. There are many insurance companies that will pay for massage therapy, but usually only if the therapist is licensed by the state. You want a therapist who knows the different massage styles and is willing to take the time to explain what you need from the session and
how it’s going to benefit you. The relationship is a partnership of sorts - and you need to be completely comfortable with the massage therapist. There are some common questions that your therapist should ask you. She should ask you if you’re coming in for a general therapeutic session or you’re seeking treatment due to an injury. You should also be asked if you’re under any kind of stress that could be contributing to the way that your body is feeling at the moment. She should ask if you’ve recently experienced any kind of emotional trauma - such as a move, the loss of a loved one, a divorce or a difficult medical diagnosis. This is because your emotions are connected with your physical health. She should also ask you what it is that you want to concentrate on in your first session - such as are you looking for an all over therapeutic massage, or do you want her to focus on a specific area? You should also be asked how often you’d like to come in for a visit. You should be ready to ask some questions of the therapist. You’ll need to know up front what the cost is per session. You’ll also want to discover if the practice takes your insurance or if you have to pay out of pocket and wait to be reimbursed. Find out how long the therapist has been in business. It’s usually best to have someone who has been doing it for awhile. Ask if the therapist has ever worked specifically with your condition if you’re seeking therapeutic massage for a health issue. It isn’t difficult to find a massage therapist. You can search using a search engine online or you can check out the local spas in your area. Many of these offer sessions with licensed massage therapists. You can also ask someone that you work with or friends and family to recommend someone who can help you. Another good place to check is
to ask your family doctor if he or she is aware of a qualified massage therapist. Checking with local chiropractors is also a good way to find one. If you have a session with a therapist and you don’t feel comfortable or the professionalism is in question, then don’t hesitate to seek another one.

Woman’s RevengeA couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word. An earlier discussion had led to an argument and neither of them wanted to concede their position. As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats and pigs, the husband asked sarcastically, “Relatives of yours?” “Yep,” the wife replied, “in-laws.” ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~ “Cash, check or charge?” I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet, I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse. “So, do you always carry your TV remote?” I asked. “No,” she replied, “but my husband refused to come shopping with me and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.” ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~ A man said to his wife one day, “I don’t know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time.” The wife
responded, “Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me and God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!” ~~*~~*~~*~~*~~*~~ Scenario:
