Are you a mosquito magnet

Everyone around you at the outdoor music concert did NOT get mosquito bites, but you sure did! Why you? Do vampire mosquito’s really do exist or is something making you a “mosquito magnet?”

Maybe mosquito larvae were hatched near a nuclear reactor which bred vampire mosquito – but probably not. It’s most logical that something within you is drawing those pesky bugs to your blood.

The sum total of your body chemistry is attracting them or put simply, you have “yummy blood!” Sugar in your blood makes it desirable to mosquito’s and is a sign you DON’T want to ignore.

Over consuming sugar puts a stress on your insulin production – because insulin deals with sugar in blood and takes it to different places to be used as energy. Low energy, fatigue and craving coffee often accompany being a mosquito magnet.

Remember also that there are only 3 food groups- fat, protein and carbs. Consuming too many is as bad ad having a sweet tooth because your body breaks them down the same and insulting is required.  Remember too, that alcohol is a carb too!

You may not show positive on a blood test for diabetes, but being a mosquito magnet is an even more sensitive sign you may need to reduce your carbs/sugar consumption.

Here are 3 main ways to become LESS of a magnet to mosquito’s:

Sweat! The more you sweat, your body’s metabolism can rid itself of excess sugar and other toxins and utilize nutrients for faster healing. Be sure to wash it off your skin as soon as possible- sweat is full of internal toxins and could promote acne or a rash.

Move more. Have you heard that sitting is the “new smoking?” People who sit 8 hours a day or more are more likely to be overweight, have diabetes or pre-diabetes, be constipated, have sciatica and back pain and have a heart attack.

Keep hydrated. This keeps you more physically active, dilutes your blood sugar concentration, helps you stay alkaline and revs up your metabolism.

When you do these three things, even if there were vampire mosquito’s, you would be less attractive to them.

Remember, when your body works right, you life works!brucecb

The Quick, Sick route to Health

I just read that 60% of pain prescription users say they got these drugs from friends or relatives.  

Here’s what this means: They are not under a doctor’s care, they may not take it correctly for their issue, and they are self-prescribing.  AND, here’s what this REALLY means: they have no idea about how to be healthy. 

Most drugs- over the counter or prescriptions, are self-prescribed.  If we all knew how the body worked and had daily doses of continual learning about how it works- this might be okay once in a while.  The biggest problem is that people don’t know how to get healthy and they want pain-relief or solutions to their problems QUICK!

They really think a pill is the solution.  I’ve always said that the worst thing about medicine is that is works.  No wonder some doctors and people laugh when you tell them you’re going the holistic route!  Drugs work better on pain.  Drugs work faster to normalize blood.  Drugs are quick.  

Health takes a lifetime, so quick is non-healthy.  This is worth repeating and has long lasting effects and affects your next hour’s actions probably so I’m saying it again.  QUICK fixes are UNHEALTHY.  Period.

Health is more than a blood value, a thyroid level, eating broccoli or running a marathon.  Health may include all those things but it can’t be defined by them alone.  

The worst health problem we have is how we define health. For until we really look at it, understand it, talk about it on all the radio & T.V. shows and in schools and in doctor’s offices and churches and places people gather, well, we’ll still take the quick, sick route to health.  Image
