Inflammation can happen anywhere in the body. It is your job to keep inflammation in control so that it does not create health problems later on down the years for you.
This year I am getting a long list of blood test for part of my annual checkup with my doctor. One, of the test I will get is C-reactive protein test that will measure any hidden inflammation in my body. I have had both hips replaced and several broken arms when I was a child so there may be inflammation that I do not know about.
Here is a list that Dr. Mark Hyman say may cause inflammation or hidden inflammation:
Poor Diet – mostly sugar, refined flours, processed foods, and bad fats
Lack of exercise
Stress
Hidden or chronic infections with viruses, bacteria, yeasts, or parasites
Allergens from food or environment
Toxins = mercury and pesticides
Mold toxins and allergens
When I get my blood test results back = then I will decide what action I need to take for relieving this hidden inflammation
Just using my SELF as an example of the aging process, I am blood type O positive. There are characteristics of blood types and which foods and nutrients make YOUR body age best. So if you do not know your blood type, Dr. D’Amato has a little kit you can order and find out your blood type.
YOUR body will work best when you feed it the best things for it. My body runs best on a high-protein, low-carb diet , but that is my body. YOUR body is different and may run best on high carb or other things.
I make sure when I buy protein powder that I get quality protein powder. Whatever you put into your body you are doing research on quality. I buy from a locally owned pharmacy who has pharmacists who are also registered, nutritionists.
You can use the subconscious powers of SELF.
Prayer is the harmonious interaction between conscious and subconscious mind.
All of us have different names for:
GOD
Higher Power
Infinite Intelligence
and if you have another name for the above: use it.
Do some research on the Fibronnaci series
You have only one mind, but it possesses two distinctive characteristics. They have different attributes and power.

Go to Ho’oponopono and do this ancient Hawaiian practice of reconciliation and forgiveness. I do it all the time and I love it. I have done it when I travel in the car and airplane in bad weather. I do it with my children’s name. I do it with everyone.
Go to Meditation and see how that would work for you.

Blood type is one of the things YOU need to know for a WHOLE YOU healthy life span
There are characteristics that go with each individual blood type.
Blood Type 0 positive:
I am a type 0 blood and these are my characteristics; some of the main points and will go into more detail later;
We are predisposed to certain illnesses-hypothyroidism; which I have had since I was about 40; I wish I would have taken iodine starting in my 20’s but I did not. I would start iodine as early as possible – it has helped with my edema(one of the things that happens sometimes with hypothyroidism). Bladder Wrack is a good supplement-a seaweed and may help in weight control. Our genetics dictates that we are strong,lean,productive, long-lived and optimistic.
I will go over some of the blood tests you may want your Doctor to take when you go in for annuals or anytime. I have TSH, Free T 3&4, Vitamin D, and I am going to have a series of more blood test like Iron, B vitamins and etc. Have your doctor give you a copy of YOUR blood test report and go over the report with your Doctor so you understand what your body may need.
Acknowledge to SELF that you want your life to meaningful. This does happen one day at a time. Write down what you want your life to look like when you reach certain ages. Ask yourself, if you are 70 or 80, what do you want to look back and see that your life had been as meaningful as you wanted it to be.
My story about my sister; 2 weeks before she died from leukemia she called and told me the doctor gave her 2 weeks to live. She said “I regret not doing more with my life, I know could have”. It was the saddest thing in my life because I work everyday so when I cross over the Rainbow Bridge I will know I will have tried to make my time here count towards good and meaningful.
Viktor Frankl did not believe man was seeking pleasure but was seeking a deep sense of meaning. He believed that when a person could not find a deep sense of meaning, then he distracted themselves with pleasure(Sigmund Freud)
Viktor Frankl came up with how we each could experience a meaningful life:
1. Have a project you are working on that requires your unique skills and abilities. And preferable a project that helps others.
2. Share with loving relationships
3. Find redemptive perspective on your challenges.
How do you want to look back on your life. What do you want to leave to this family and friends to remember you. You want as few regrets as possible. You do not want to say: I should have, could have, would have. You can do all those things. Start today. No one said it was going to be easy. You have to EMPOWER yourself. You have to ENCOURAGE yourself. On a daily basis.
Fill the Body with healthy and nutritious foods
Your Body is a temple – treat it like one
Make sure your Body is getting the nutrients that is required to keep it running like a well-tuned car
Iodine is one of the nutrients that I never knew were so important until the past several years, but in all the books that I read from Doctors they point out how important Iodine is, and especially for people like myself who are hypothyroidism.
We are all individuals and our Bodies are all different: our environment, our genetics, our lifestyles are all different and we need to take all these into consideration when looking for the right ratio and kind of nutrients to make our bodies run as well as possible for our entire life so we can have this HEALTHY LIFE SPAN.
YOUR body is not going to function at the high level it should if YOUR body is not fed the right foods and nutrients.
The soil of the earth is not like it was 50 years ago so your vegetables and fruit are not the high quality they use to be. For YOUR body – grow what vegetables and fruit you can in you yard or apartment. Buy at local farmer’s market if you are not able to grow your own.
