Live Well - Live Now Jim Humphrey

Generally when the term “social fatigue” is used it describes a feeling of being emotionally overextended or exhausted by work. It has also been known to manifest itself in by both physical fatigue and a sense of feeling psychologically and emotionally “drained”.

The good news for us all is that Type 2 diabetes is both preventable and treatable. Even though there is no cure for diabetes at this time, most doctors agree, there are specific things we can do to prevent the condition. Here are eight lifestyle behaviors we can begin today to help prevent and even potentially reverse the harmful impacts of diabetes.

133 million Americans or 45% of the population have at least one chronic disease. These chronic diseases are responsible for seven out of every ten deaths within the U.S., killing more than 1.7 million Americans each year, yet we don't feel it's an epidemic. Of these, one stands above the rest as the fastest growing killer of humans.

As we produce faster growing and larger yield crops through bioengineering. Create convenient "fast food," and develop foods to withstand long shelf-life that contain little or no nutritional value, are we becoming the masters of our own decline?

The majority of Americans today get over 50% of their calories from highly processed, engineered fast food. The mere thought of that should make us a little queasy. Even though many of us are educated enough to know how this can affect our physical health, few understand how much it can also damage our mental health. For some reason, as humans we don’t often make the logical connection that whatever goes in the proverbial “pie-hole” either fuels or degrades our grey matter upstairs.

We all experience events in our life that drive us to shift our perspective and direction. For me, it happened in 2019 following a life-threatening illness. It has driven a continual question of how do we improve or alter our lifestyle habits, our food and our environment to help us maximize our bodies potential? After all, we have a miraculous series of mechanisms to fight off harmful invaders and allow us to achieve extraordinary physical acts. Together, we’ll dive into this and more.
