Kindle Post

 My wonderful publisher, Loving Healing Press, has added the tip tidbits and photos to the new Kindle page for my latest book, 101 Tips for Better & More Healthy Sleep.  Even better, this time he's invested in an audio book version!  

Lisa Negron has recorded the audio book and has done a magnificent job.  It should be up on Amazon shortly.

It's amazing how many people have trouble sleeping.  The first two book reviewers I contacted about the new book immediately responded that they'd love to see a copy.  I hope it helps them.

Always Something

 When my latest book was finally published I was thrilled.  I thought that was the end of my work.  But I was WRONG.  Turns out actually writing the book is just the beginning (which I'd already learned) and now the work begins to promote it.

Contacting book reviewers is one facet of book promotion.  The next part was updating my website with the new book cover and information (https://www.unbreakyourhealth.com) which turned out to be a bigger challenge than expected, as usual.  As long as I was messing around with the home page on my website I decided since it was January to update all of the copyright information too.  Again, it sounds easier than it really is for a non-programmer.  No sooner did I get all of that done than my publisher noted that Google says my website doesn't work for mobile users which apparently are now 50% of Internet users.  It works on my phone, but that's another story.

Anyway, now my publisher wants me to redesign my entire website next summer and change it from HTML to something called CSS which will make it better for cell phones.  First I have to finish writing the next project he's assigned me.  While it's nice to have work to look forward to I'm not sure computer stuff is anything I really look forward to.

101 Tips for Better & More Healthy Sleep

All of your physical and mental health depends on getting a good night’s sleep.  We all love waking up without an alarm feeling rested and refreshed, right?  Unfortunately, many people don’t sleep enough or sleep well or both.  There are almost as many reasons for not sleeping well as there are stars in the sky, or at least it seems that way some nights.  You’ve probably tried a few things to sleep better which may, or may not, have worked for you.  It may feel like your sleep is a combination lock and you can’t figure out all the right numbers in the right sequence. 

We need to accept that every human being needs to sleep every 24 hours but even today scientists don’t understand everything about sleep.  We do know that sleep allows for both the body and the brain to repair themselves in critical ways and to restore energy. Sleep allows us to consolidate memories, handle information processing, aids our physical growth and muscle repair, along with countless other processes that are theorized to occur during sleep.  We can’t forget that sleep is also critical for strengthening our immune system and allowing us to fight off disease.  We may not understand it all yet but we know that it is critical.

These 101 Tips are designed to help you find the rest you deserve in the best way possible.  You’ll walk through all of the various factors in getting a good night’s sleep from your bed and bedroom to relaxing before bed to solving several sleep problems.  There are over the counter (OTC) drugs that can help along with various supplements and herbs.  While some of these tips have been around for hundreds or thousands of years some are as new as they can be.  Whatever your sleep situation there’s probably going to be something here that can help you sleep even better and longer. 

Better Sleep

 Sleep is important.  Everybody knows that.  We're supposed to sleep 1/3 of our entire lives but that's a dream for many people.  

Now there's hope in my newest book:  101 Tips for Better & More Healthy Sleep which will take you through every facet of getting better sleep every night.

Check it out and good night.

U.S. Life Expectancy Down

 As Covid winds down you may be wondering how America fared compared to other nations around the world.  Let me put it this way, ten of the 21 nations in the survey I saw  recentlyactually gained a slight amount of life expectancy.  The U.S. lost 2.1 years.  Why is this important?  Because money doesn't mean anything if you're dead.  We need to get healthier as a country, it's as simple as that.

Trapped Into Wrong Medicine

 We're not surprised when the 911 ambulance takes you to your town's hospital.  After all, it's your town's hospital, right?  What you may not know is that once you're checked in there you can't go to any other hospital.  That's right, even if you've had the same procedure done at a hospital just outside your town's border less than two years ago, you can't go back to your old doctor.  No matter how incompetent the doctor is at your town's hospital, you're trapped.

This was a surprising revaluation I just learned when a family member suffered a broken hip.  Fortunately it appears this will turn out fine but I know of another case where the surgeon used the wrong size hardware and the entire operation had to be done over weeks later.  I'm sure you can appreciate all of the pain and suffering involved with having TWO operations instead of one.

I'm sure this policy was created to protect the smaller, less qualified hospitals from losing all of their customers to the bigger, newer facilities but the price is one we all pay by our ignorance.  It's unfair and it's not right.  Until the laws get changed we're all facing this situation.

These are the little surprises awaiting all of us in American healthcare today.

The Natural Way

Not long ago one of my doctors wanted to give me a prescription and I said "No", thank you.  I asked him exactly what did I need to improve in my blood chemistry and he told me.  Then I came home and researched all of the foods that I could add to my diet which would boost my bloodwork.  I just got the results of my latest body chemistry and talked with the doctor and he was absolutely amazed at how perfect it all was now.  Apparently he hasn't dealt with many patients who prefer to do things the natural way!  

Before popping another pill from your doctor with lots of side effects ask what he's trying to correct and specifically what you can do to help the situation naturally.  You'll probably have to do your own research into what foods you'll need to add to your diet but believe me, it's worth it.  Your body knows what to do with foods, not so much artificial chemicals created by pharmaceutical companies.

Take better care of your body and you'll enjoy the results!
