GETTING HEALTHY// Lifestyle

HEALTHY TO A POINT


I am like most people I would say, I eat less fat foods, try to eat more healthy  and drink more fluids. Fresh fruits and vegetables are one of my most favourites, especially right from the garden. The ripe tomatoes, fresh lettuces, cucumbers. If you live somewhere were the climate is  ideal for gardening it is a bonus. And especially living in Austria the milder weather makes it perfect. There are places that have their own fruit trees from cherries , apples and apricots. 

I also do take multi vitamins and other needed things. The supplements are important for ones body. (after checking with the doctor and finding out I had low iron and potassium).

Vitamin D is one that has many benefits according to a study. People living in the northern hemisphere are lacking Vitamin D. The normal way to get D is through exposure to the sun, and well it is darker in the fall we are less outdoors and exposed to the suns rays. 





Drinking more is not a problem for me, we picked up a sodastream and I fill the  bottles with  water daily.  Some people drink teas or coffees more.   Teas such as green tea is one that has been popular. But there are also supplements available.  The benefits that are mentioned its  antioxidant properties, reported to help lose weight and even help prevent cancer.  Anyone who takes green tea supplements should be careful.  Recent news report of damage to liver , kidneys and other issues have been reported in America and Canada.  This is a very serious health matter, as one man needed to have a liver transplant after taking green tea supplements.  


So staying healthy is important, but be careful of some health products and always check with your doctor before taking anything new  be it health supplements or medicines.

Flying high // travel

B  Time to Fly   Sumer holidays are around the corner and deciding where to go or what to pack can e daunting experience.  So what to pack ? Well after reading how some airlines charge passenger to check the baggage. First I believe the budget airlines started , but now the big name ones have also started to charge it! American Airlines , southwest , Air Canada .  And the extra cost if is a jackpot for the airlines.  I have not travel with the budget lines but have used some of the others mentioned  and  I won’t be booking any trips with them!  Really what do they think? If the operate a service to transport you and your belongs  that should be included , NOT an extra expense.  Give you an idea of what they collect in these extra fees  then read this report via BBC.  Truthfully people need to tell these companies  NO .  Even a handbag is next to the list.   They are making BILLIONS from from these extra fees!...

THIS and THAT//fashion , festival

 Season Changes Well it has finally cooled down which makes it bearable to be outside. Naturally the swimming pools , lakes and rivers have seen plenty o people .  Festivals , Films  and Fashion  The festival season is winding down,  but one that I anxiously wait for is the Venice Film festival. A movie and fashion lover can’t miss it!  The return of Clooney on screen in  Venice with his gorgeous wife is a highlight.  Her fabulous fuchsia gown with the train was stunning . She stole the show!  Of course there were other stars on the red carpet  but no outstanding dresses .  Movies some are getting mentioned . For myself I’m not  sure what I be tempted to watch.  Julia  Roberts new one about college professor sexual harassment is a serious topic . Not light entertainment.  One film with Helen mirren, pierce Brosnan  about senior mystery book club sounds like light entertainment. The actors are all over 60 , s...
