 At Native Remedies, we use education as a powerful tool to encourage emotional, psychological and physical wellbeing. To achieve optimal health levels it is necessary to understand what living a healthy lifestyle truly means. A healthy life doesn't only mean avoiding fast food and squeezing in a little exercise; it encompasses a keen awareness, smart decision-making, and an overall active lifestyle.

We are faced with lifestyle choices everyday that can either contribute to or detract from your good health. With toxins all around – air pollutants and even chemicals in the foods you eat – making good choices can greatly minimize how much these toxins actually affect you.

With more than 600 million people worldwide dealing with chronic lung disease as a result of cigarettes and air pollution, and environmental agencies globally reporting the dangers of pesticides in foods, it is time to seriously evaluate how diet and lifestyle affect your health.   You can learn how to stop smoking for good with tips you gain from our health care article on the subject.

To find out more about this topic and the natural remedies that can help you achieve optimal health, just read our featured articles.  Dozens of health care articles to help with your wellness goals, including several on detoxing the body, a hot topic this time of year.

Honesty Is Not Always the Best Policy

It may not matter if the person you minimally like lies to you. You may not expect much more than a lie. Or, you may say at this moment, "I’d rather have nothing than to accept a lie no matter what."

 

Do we tell, even small white lies, to the people we trust, feel close to and secured with? Is there a big difference between a white lie and boldfaced one? Are lies just lies no matter how you look at it, excusing neither a small lie and a large lie?

 

Mostly, people can distinguish the liar from the truth-teller by the person’s genuine or false smile, by their body movements and speech content. As individual in nature as we are, each person of course shows different signs of deceit. But before you accuse someone of lying, check out some of the clues to look into when judging who is lying.

 

In view, little white lies told to friends benefit the friend and are harmless. To spare another person’s feelings and to make them feel good is okay. The desire not to hurt another person’s feelings that you care for is generous. If we all chose not to tell a small white lie to avoid hurting others’ feelings, women and men would not get along at all and the world would become a miserable and noisy place to live in. In this situation, sparing feelings is understandable and kind. To tell bold-faced lies to deceive is another.

 

Tragically, brazen liars often distort us in their eyes and cripple self knowledge and prevent us from satisfying our deepest needs. Sensitive and compassionate people tell minuscule lies to protect us from truths that we are not ready to hear and at the same time help us to get on with our lives. They kindly shield us from unnecessary pain because they love us.

 

Then, there are people who generally lie in social interactions with the intent to mislead. Because social lies are usually automatic and not premeditated, except for the tendency to bend the truth, therefore, making the lies much more revealing. Those people are basically manipulative by nature. They make use of their lies to manipulate the person before them to do what the liar wants knowingly hurting the other person.

 

There is also the group that allows lying to become an insidious part of their character because of their personal obsession with their image and sociable status (or lack thereof and in search of respectability.) Genuine, sociable people do not need to pretend and deceive because, by nature they have developed the kind of character that projects responsibility, therefore, they enjoy more gratifying relationships in the long hall, both professionally and personally.

 

Closing Message -

 

We have all experienced, at one time or another, a situation of people asking us for our opinion on personal/intimate issues. We advise them the best that we can, only to end up unintentionally hurting the person. Plenty of people will agree that there is a price to pay when telling people the truth. And since we cannot always distinguish those who can and cannot accept or face the truth, at times it’s better to remain neutral.

 

The bottom line is that we need to know how to distinguish the occasional white lies and the pathological liars. We need to know when to walk away from people who lie about feelings, emotions and their opinions of people. We need to know when to stay away from people who deliberately lie about their situations, lifestyle, beliefs, the going-ons in their life and what their basic plans may be in the future. Chronic liars cannot help but continue, out of habit, to cover up failures, shortcomings, and enhance misdeeds and actions.

 

Not everyone on this planet wants complete honesty, or to take a good healthy dose of reality. Not everyone wants to know the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Do you?

 

Honestly, most people are dishonest.

 

Oscar Wilde - "If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later to be found out."

Been a long time....still in pain

BLAHH! Thats how I feel. How long does one have to have pain for in order for it to be considered chronic.....cause it feels pretty damn chronic to me. Now the pain has moved into my other leg (it used to be only in the left)....now it takes turns and sometimes I feel it in both legs simultaneously. Occasionally it feels as if my leg muscles are all taking turns spasming....THIS SUCKS!!!! Im not really sure what to do anymore and I spend most of my sleeping time tossing and turning and crying. I am going to give accupuncture another week or so to do something and if not I think Im going to go see a neurologist. I really hope its nothing serious but the pain has progressed for the worse despite physical therapy, accupuncture, and a normal MRI of the hip and lower spine. GRRR!!! I wish I was healthy. I miss health. I was trying to stay positive about all this at first but im a worrier by nature and my mind is getting the best of me...the pain is effecting all aspects of my daily life, I cannot enjoy sleep, I cannot enjoy excercise, I cannot enjoy social activities....and Im becoming depressed. I really dont know what to do.

 

Other than my pain issue. There is not much going on. The new guy is still around but Im not so sure he is that interested. He doesn't make time for me. He is dealing with some personal issues and so  I guess forming a new relationship is not at the top of his list. I guess with my issues that Im dealing with, its not at the top of mine either.....but I like him so I was willing to make the effort. Only time will tell.

 

I hope it is warm this weekend. It will be something to look forward to

 
 
 

   
Help out

I want to ask everyone a favor.  If you can donate any amount of money or time to help find a cure for diabetes. My mother, good friend, grandma, uncles, and many other wonderful people have to live with this horrible chronic illness.  This is something that won't go away, there are two types type 1 and type 2 diabetes, both are terrible.  Your body doesn't produce insulin and therefore if not treated you WILL die.  Everyday these people have to take pills or even worse shots.  The people I know all have to take shots for theirs.  There is such a thing as producing too much insulin and that is not good either, that can also kill you. It's either hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic.  The one that I am very familar with is the type 1 diabetes which doesn't produce any insulin at all.  I have seen my mother go in for numerous surgeries on her feet, eyes, and heart.  My very good friend wonderingsoul has this also and has had it since she was a baby.  All these people want is a chance to feel what it's like to not to have to rely on something everyday, we sometimes take this for granted, we don't have to rely on anyone or anything, those of us who are by clinical terms "healthy".  I don't like that term, I think that everyones health varies and the categories are different for everyone.  People with diabetes can be healthy as best as they possibly can with that chronic illness, but it will always be a challenge.  It isn't always easy and no matter what they try and do, the disease sometimes just takes over.  So please help out,do what ever you can to help.  The American Diabetes Association has more information about this and the research that is being done to help find a cure.
