Hi Everybody, As you all know, one thing that Mel consistently teaches us is that it is so important to get enough sleep and rest. But how many of us know some of the important reasons why sleep and rest are so important, and why lack of those 2 things can really hinder you from getting well? Sometimes we might start to panic if we think that we might have to go a day or 2 without our supplements, but how many of us panic if we see ourselves losing sight of the importance of sleep and rest? I hope that after reading some of the reasons why sleep and rest are so needful for our human bodies, each person will begin to, well, not panic if you see yourself falling short in these areas, but take it seriously and make changes. I also hope that those who work or have busy home lives might begin to see the word "rest" in a different way and realize that they too can help their body recharge with not much effort. REST (These interesting points I found in the article, "Rest: The Importance of Slowing Down" by Jessica Sepel) When you exhaust your body by continually keeping busy, you are also exhausting your mind. This will cause you to remember less, not more, and cause your senses to be duller, not sharper. You will actually retain more information after giving your body and mind a chance to rest or nap than if you just keep pushing right on through whatever you are doing, thinking that you don't have time to rest or nap. Besides, when you push your body, you can cause it so many problems, such as: 1. Throwing the good and bad flora in your body out of whack. One of the supplements we take is Essential Flora. Getting enough rest helps enable our bodies to get the full benefit of this product. 2. Causing cortisol and adrenalin to be pumped through your blood without even realizing it. Long term, this can lead to adrenal fatigue and hormonal imbalance. These in turn can lead to depression, weight gain, too much estrogen, chronic fatigue, fertility problems, affect blood sugar levels, and cause premature aging. The great news is that if you are having a busy day and cannot take a nap or rest for a long period of time, even sitting and resting a few minutes, allowing your brain to relax, meditating on a scripture verse, or listening to a song that you enjoy allows your body on a cellular level to recharge itself. How many people are busy throughout the day but they could take a few minutes here and there to just allow their body and mind to relax for a few minutes? That is why I said earlier in this post that I hope you will see the word "rest" in a different way and realize that you can have short recharging moments throughout the day. Jessica Sepel, the author I mentioned above, had a fantastic thought in her article. She said that your body works so hard for you all day every day, so give it some time to replenish. If we think of our body doing a job for us, we will want to help it and not fight against it. SLEEP SPECIFICALLY (These helpful points I found in the articles, "How Sleep Heals the Body" by Jennifer Acosta Scott, and "Lack of Sleep: Can it make you sick" answered by Eric J. Olson, M.D. on WebMD) Don't picture yourself as being lazy when you sleep or require extra sleep. Your body works hard while you are sleeping. In fact, this is the time your body recovers from damage and protects itself against sickness. Sleep is important for brain health. It is necessary for healthy bone marrow which produces stem cells and immune cells. Just as not getting enough rest during the day can elevate cortisol and adrenalin, not getting enough sleep at night does the same. Your skin can be negatively affected by the extra cortisol and adrenalin. It can also make your heart work harder, fooling your body into thinking there is an emergency it must be prepared to deal with. Your immune system is affected in a negative way when you don't get enough sleep. How fast you are able to recover from infection, inflammation, or handle stress is hindered or helped by the amount of sleep you get. This is because cytokines are released when you are asleep, and there needs to be an increase of cytokines in your body when you are sick or during a stressful period. You are not doing your body or yourself any favors when you don't allow yourself to get enough sleep, because that can decrease the amount of protective cytokines produced by your body. There is a reduction of infection fighting antibodies and cells when you do not allow yourself to get enough sleep. You might not know this, but your liver is attuned to a certain rhythm that varies depending on the time of day. Getting enough rest helps your liver stay in rhythm so that it can detox, break down adrenalin, and manage blood sugar levels. I hope that everyone can see the importance of giving your body a break now and then and of allowing it to do the work for you that it needs to do and can only do through rest and sleep. I know we can wake up at times feeling bad and not be able to go back to sleep when we have toxic disease. Also, there are times when we cannot go to sleep as early as we should when we are not feeling well. But please, if you are not able to sleep all night or go to bed as early as you should, allow those times to be times of rest, doing something unstressful, thus allowing your body to still be able to do some of the work it needs to do to help you heal faster of stress and toxic disease.

Hello, Cheryl! Lily has been my constant companion for the past couple of weeks since I have been under the weather. It’s been very comforting. Lily’s Siamese breed definitely surfaces when she wants to eat twice a day! Lucy’s new parents send me pictures of her quite frequently, which is so kind of them. She is doing quite well and enjoys the company of her pack: her two owners, her buddy Chloe (the Jack Russell terrier), and King Charles (an orange tabby cat). Jamie | ||||||

Hi Jamie, I know Holly was very excited to hear about Lucy. I'm sorry that Lucy isn't with you any longer. She truly is a beautiful dog. I know her present owners must love her and take very good care of her for you. Lily sounds like a beautiful cat. I have heard that Siamese cats are very vocal, just as Holly said her mum told her. So, I hope Lily is keeping you good company. God bless, Cheryl | ||||||
