Something Dies to Be Born
Embrace change for growth
It was all very different. All my energy and focus were on manifesting something that was very important to me: —>> My life and nothing else. This year that has passed in 2023, I managed to create everything I desired and received much more than I asked for. Everything I put on my list of things to manifest, I achieved. But, I did it at the expense of my well-being and even myself. I said yes too many times when I really wanted to say no. Today, I have, and I've recovered my investments. There was also much soul pain. I lost friends whom I "thought were friends"... So I made the decision and moved to another city, changed literally everything, and enjoyed it because I understood that life was putting me in that situation to move forward and mature.
and strong transformative energy. T
hese last three years have brought us here, to where we are today. 2020 was a year of intense changes
I gave much more than I should have and mistakenly thought that it was the price to pay for being where I was. ... It's not like that. We don't have to sacrifice ourselves to achieve what we desire. We don't have to pay for success, for our dreams, or for achieving what we want. We don't have to suffer to be happy later. If 2020 opened me up to expansion and was one of the years in which I grew the most, 2021 taught me to go back inside to take care of my physical body, my energy, my health, to forgive myself, to surrender and stop trying to control everything around me.
It was a year of painful growth, more forced than fluid. 2021 was a year of balance, transitions, turning inward, and finally letting go of what I couldn't release in 2020. In 2022, I traveled almost as much as in 2021 after a pandemic that took many lives, dreams, relationships, where I fell ill due to a microbiota imbalance, experienced financial losses, and was embarking on a business in 2020 without a clear destination. I spent all my savings but always with hope, faith, and certainty that I would emerge victorious.
Page 08
It firmly taught me that I have to say "no" and feel good about it. I learned that absolutely nothing bad happens when I am clear about my limits and express what I need for my well-being and am clear about what is or is not acceptable for me. This year 2023 forced me to close many doors that I should have closed a long time ago. I learned to respect myself more and understand that I am always at the top of my list and everything else can wait. This year has been very special, like a fairy tale , where life takes care of rewarding me in LOVE , God, and his wonders . It's not enough to be in the right place at the right time; you have to be the right person in the right place at the right time, and we know that no one comes into your life by accident. It has been so beautiful and magical, full of experiences, sharing love, being happy, and most importantly, we both accept the life process we are going through, supporting each other with a lot of tolerance. I think this has been the key to maintaining balance in our relationship. I feel happy and fortunate; life has been generous to me. 2024 brings a new energy to my heart. I know it will be a very different year from these last three years. The energy is different, and I am also a different person with a new vision of my business, my life, my priorities, and how I want to live it. I have no doubt that this year will be one to enjoy the expansion from where I am now. If before I ran after what I wanted, now I know I can enjoy the wait more and that what I want will come in its own time.
Let's remember that our dreams are always aligned with our current vibration and also with our life purpose. Trust your path, trust life, the universe, love, and when in doubt: Continue to trust. There is a path laid out, and it is perfect; everything is always perfect, flows, and remember to be present in this experience. Life is beautiful, and there is still much to learn. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU LIFE FOR GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE YOU, ENRICH MY SOUL, AND SHARE MY HAPPINESS WITH THE PEOPLE I LOVE. READY TO RECEIVE MY 2024 WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY.

How To Make Snacking a Healthy Habit Transforming Everyday Bites into Nourishing Delights F or some people, snacking may seem like a bad habit associated with junk food and excess calories.
But snacking throughout the day can actually be part of a healthy approach to eating — if done mindfully. Snacking is often viewed negatively, linked to unhealthy habits and excess calories. However, Rachael Pollak, a clinical nutritionist at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, emphasizes that healthy snacking, when approached with moderation, can contribute to sustaining energy and preventing overeating during meals. Rather than strict rules, Pollak encourages a balanced approach to food. Listening to one's body and understanding individual needs is crucial. Pollak emphasizes moderation and the importance of not restricting food access. Balancing Approach to Food Planning snacks alongside meals helps establish healthy eating habits. Pollak recommends incorporating more snacking into daily routines to avoid feeling ravenous during meals. Eating four to five snacks a day, Pollak spaces them between her main meals to maintain energy levels and make better meal choices. Snacking Integration into Daily Routine
At F45 Training Herricks, we prioritize holistic well-being, addressing not just physical fitness but also mental and emotional health. Our approach involves listening to our members, understanding their needs, and collaboratively formulating a plan for both physical and lifestyle changes.

HEALTH IS WEALTH MAGAZINE
Having a Variety of Options
To resist the temptation of unhealthy office treats, maintain a variety of healthy snacks. Stock up on fruits, vegetables, and protein-rich foods during grocery shopping. Having diverse options ensures a satisfying and nutritious snack choice. Adopt the principle of "everything in moderation" to balance food choices and energy needs. Allow indulgences while ensuring a balance with nutrient- rich foods. For example, enjoy chocolate but complement it with other nutrient-dense options. Maintaining Healthy Balance Pollak emphasizes the importance of being mindful of individual needs and avoiding comparisons with others. Maintaining a healthy balance requires understanding and responding to the body's unique requirements.
Selecting snacks that provide satiety is essential. Opt for foods with protein, healthy fats, and carbohydrates. Nuts, apple with peanut butter, or grapes with cheese are excellent choices. Pollak's favorite is yogurt with granola, offering a blend of nutrition and comfort. Choosing Satisfying Snacks
Pollak's Favorite Snack Choices:
Yogurt with granola String cheese Fruit Vegetables and dip Cottage cheese Protein bar Nuts

Tips to Support Someone After the Loss of a Baby Guidance for Supporting Those Grieving Pregnancy or Infant Loss from a social worker
The loss of a pregnancy or an infant is a heart-wrenching experience that affects more families than many realize. According to the March of Dimes, about 10% to 20% of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that around 21,100 babies are stillborn, with nearly 20,000 dying before their first birthday in the United States annually. Lack of meaningful support from others can intensify the grief. Talia Grossman, a licensed master social worker and advanced clinician at NewYork-Presbyterian Alexandra Cohen Hospital for Women and Newborns, provides insights on supporting those grieving pregnancy or infant loss. Offer Practical Assistance In the immediate aftermath, those grieving often need help with daily tasks. Offer assistance with practical needs like picking up groceries, doing laundry, or coordinating funeral arrangements. Be sensitive to individual preferences; some may appreciate help with tasks, while others may find comfort in a close family member or friend’s involvement.
Acknowledge the loss with simple expressions of sympathy to make the grieving person
feel seen and understood.
Page 12
HEALTH IS WEALTH MAGAZINE
Take Time to Process the Loss Communicate with your employer promptly to request time off, and involve your doctor in any required paperwork. Take the time you need to grieve, remembering that there is no set timetable for the process. Do What Feels Right and Take It One Day at a Time Set achievable daily goals to aid the grieving process. Simple tasks like taking a shower or a short walk can be significant accomplishments. Respect Your Partner’s Grieving Process Recognize that everyone grieves differently, and patience is essential. Seek support from family, friends, or professionals to help both partners through the grieving process. Share Your Loss With Others Connect with support groups, bereaved parent retreats, or peer counselors who have experienced similar losses. Sharing experiences with others who understand can provide valuable support.
Grieving doesn't have a timeline; it's a lifelong process. After the initial support wanes, continue checking in, especially during holidays, birthdays, or anniversaries. Grief can intensify during these times, making ongoing support crucial. Continue to Check In Refrain from asking when someone will have another child or making comments about their ability to get pregnant again. Avoid "at least" statements, as they may undermine the significance of the loss. Acknowledge the loss with simple expressions of sympathy to make the grieving person feel seen and understood. Avoid Hurtful Questions and Comments
Coping With Pregnancy Loss or Infant Loss
Avoid blaming yourself for the loss. Understand that feelings of failure and guilt are common but rarely rooted in something anyone did or didn't do. Be Gentle and Kind to Yourself Depending on the baby's gestational age, hospitals may offer opportunities to spend time with the baby. If not possible, find other ways to create memories, such as writing a diary or holding a funeral or memorial service. Consider "Memory-Making"

Navigating the World of Non-Dairy Milks
Understanding the Landscape of Non-Dairy Alternatives
Cow’s milk used to dominate refrigerators, but now many turn to plant-based alternatives like almond, oat, coconut, and soy. In 2022, 41% of U.S. households opted for plant-based milk, reflecting a growing trend. People choose non-dairy options for various reasons, such as a plant-based diet or lactose intolerance. To shed light on the implications of this shift, Georgia Giannopoulos, a registered dietitian and manager of NYPBeHealthy, about the nutritional aspects of dairy and considerations for those transitioning.
Benefits of Consuming Dairy
While non-dairy options are often marketed as healthier, cow’s milk remains a nutritious choice, especially for children. Packed with essential nutrients like calcium, protein, and fortified with vitamin D, dairy supports bone and muscle health. If someone plans to cut out dairy, it's crucial to ensure they obtain sufficient calcium and protein from alternative sources in their overall diet.
Understanding Dairy Fat Content
The healthiness of dairy milk varies based on preferences and dietary needs. Skim or low-fat milk may appeal to those aiming to reduce fat and calories, while others find satisfaction in 2% or whole milk, linked with satiety and vitamin D absorption.
Page 18
HEALTH IS WEALTH MAGAZINE
Individuals may choose to limit or avoid dairy due to lactose intolerance, a vegan lifestyle, religious beliefs, or taste preferences. Weight loss is another reason, but it's essential to navigate alternatives' calorie and sugar content. Some non-dairy options lack essential nutrients like calcium and vitamin D, vital for maintaining strong bones. Reasons for Cutting Out Dairy
Carrageenan, a common additive in processed alternatives, may cause digestive discomfort, so checking ingredients is advisable.
Calcium Requirements and Alternatives
Adults aged 19-50 typically need around 1,000 milligrams of calcium daily. Non-dairy sources like sardines, calcium-fortified products, and dark green vegetables offer viable alternatives. It's crucial to balance calcium intake from various sources. When opting for alternatives like soy, oat, or almond milk, reviewing nutrition facts is key. Many varieties contain added sugars, so choosing options made with quality ingredients is crucial. Protein content varies, with soy milk closely resembling dairy nutritionally. Preferences like almond or oat milk offer distinct tastes but may lack protein, requiring attention to nutritional needs. Evaluating Non-Dairy Milks
Flavored almond, soy, and rice milks often hide added sugars, posing potential health risks. Choosing unsweetened options, like unsweetened soy milk, provides a healthier balance of energy and protein. Careful scrutiny of food labels helps avoid hidden sugars. Non-Recommended Non-Dairy Products Whether consuming dairy or not, maintaining a healthful diet involves understanding and moderating food intake. A varied, balanced diet remains key. Concerns about calcium and protein intake can be addressed with a personalized meal plan guided by a registered dietitian. Ultimately, the goal is to regularly fuel the body with essential nutrients, regardless of the chosen source. Dairy vs. Non-Dairy Debate
Considerations for Choosing Alternatives
High protein, low added sugars, and quality ingredients are crucial factors when selecting non-dairy options. Soy milk stands out for its protein content, while almond milk often lacks protein despite almonds being rich in it.

Medications play a crucial role in maintaining health and managing various conditions. However, their benefits sometimes come with unintended consequences, and one common side effect that many individuals experience is fatigue. As our reliance on medications grows, it becomes essential to understand the intricate relationship between treatments and fatigue. Their Unintended Impact Medications and on Fatigue
Blood Pressure Medications: Keeping Pressure in Check with a Dose of Fatigue Many individuals managing high blood pressure depend on medications. However, certain blood pressure medications, including beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, and ACE inhibitors, can bring on fatigue as a side effect. Antihistamines: Fighting Allergies with Drowsiness While antihistamines effectively combat allergy symptoms, some, especially first-generation ones like diphenhydramine (Benadryl) and chlorpheniramine, can induce drowsiness and fatigue. Opting for newer, second-generation antihistamines may help minimize these effects.
Antidepressants: Balancing Mood at the Cost of Energy Antidepressants, vital for managing mood disorders like depression and anxiety, may inadvertently lead to tiredness and fatigue. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), commonly prescribed antidepressants, are known to contribute to feelings of exhaustion.
Page 24
Statins: Cholesterol Management with a Potential for Fatigue Prescribed to lower cholesterol levels and reduce heart disease risk, statins may lead to muscle- related side effects, including weakness and fatigue. Statins: Cholesterol Management with a Potential for Fatigue Prescribed to lower cholesterol levels and reduce heart disease risk, statins may lead to muscle- related side effects, including weakness and fatigue. Opioid Pain Relievers: Numbing Pain at the Expense of Alertness Powerful opioids like hydrocodone and oxycodone provide relief from severe pain but often accompany side effects like drowsiness and fatigue. Exploring alternative pain management strategies is advisable.
Seizure Medications: Managing Seizures with a Possible Side of Fatigue
Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), crucial for managing epilepsy, may include fatigue as a side effect. Awareness and communication with healthcare providers can aid in managing this aspect of treatment. Managing Medication-Induced Fatigue If you suspect that your medication is causing fatigue, it's essential to consult your healthcare provider. They can evaluate whether fatigue is a side effect or due to other factors. Strategies for managing medication-induced fatigue may include adjusting dosage, changing the timing of medication, or considering alternative medications with fewer fatigue-related side effects. Lifestyle changes, such as exercise, a healthy diet, and stress management, can also contribute to improved energy levels. Addressing underlying sleep disorders and nutritional deficiencies can complement these strategies. Caution: Consult Your Healthcare Provider It's crucial not to stop or alter medication without consulting a healthcare provider, as it could worsen your condition or lead to complications. Work closely with your doctor to strike a balance between managing fatigue and ensuring the effectiveness of your treatment.
Anxiety Medications: Calming Anxiety with the Unwelcome Companion of Fatigue
Medications for anxiety, such as benzodiazepines and buspirone, may bring relief but can also cause drowsiness and fatigue. Communication with healthcare providers can help find a suitable balance. Cancer Treatment: A Battle Against Fatigue Amidst the Fight Against Cancer Chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and targeted therapy in cancer treatment can induce fatigue, either as a direct side effect or as the body's response to the disease. Open communication with healthcare teams is crucial to addressing this fatigue.

Planning Health-Promoting Trips Without Overspending

Planning a health- promoting trip doesn't have to break the bank; with strategic choices, you can nurture your mind and body without overspending. Here's your guide to crafting rejuvenating getaways that prioritize health without compromising your financial health.
1. Choose Budget-Friendly Destinations:
Selecting a destination that aligns with your health goals and budget is the first step. Look for places with a variety of outdoor activities, such as hiking trails, beaches, or parks. National parks, nature reserves, and less touristy locations often offer a serene environment for relaxation and physical activities without the hefty price tag.
2. Prioritize Physical Activities:
Physical activities are not only beneficial for your health but can also be cost-effective. Opt for destinations where you can engage in activities like hiking, biking, or swimming. Many places offer free or low-cost group fitness classes, allowing you to explore a new activity without spending a fortune. Nature-based exercises not only contribute to your fitness but also enhance your overall well-being.
3. Plan and Prepare Healthy Meals:
Eating well is a cornerstone of health, and planning your meals in advance can save both your health and your wallet. Consider booking accommodations with kitchen facilities to prepare simple, nutritious meals. Explore local markets for fresh produce, and embrace the opportunity to try new, healthy recipes. This way, you not only nourish your body but also avoid the high costs associated with dining out for every meal.

HEALTH IS WEALTH MAGAZINE

Wellness retreats need not be synonymous with high expenses. Many retreats offer budget- friendly options, especially during off-peak seasons. Look for packages that include accommodation, healthy meals, and wellness activities. Additionally, some retreats offer day passes, allowing you to participate in workshops or classes without committing to an entire retreat, providing a cost-effective way to prioritize your health.

Utilize travel apps and websites to discover discounts on accommodations, activities, and transportation. Many platforms offer last-minute deals or package discounts that can significantly reduce your overall trip expenses.
Mindfulness and relaxation are key components of a health-promoting trip. Instead of pricey spas, consider alternatives like meditation centers or outdoor meditation sessions. Many destinations offer free or donation-based meditation classes, providing an opportunity to unwind without overspending. Simple practices like mindful breathing on a quiet beach or in a tranquil park can be just as rejuvenating.
8. Consider Volunteer or Eco-Tourism:
In conclusion, planning a health-promoting trip on a budget is not only possible but can be incredibly rewarding. By prioritizing physical activities, embracing mindfulness, and making strategic choices, you can nourish your well-being without overspending. Remember, the essence of a health- focused journey lies not in extravagance but in the mindful choices you make to support your overall health and vitality. Travel well, stay healthy, and savor the benefits of a rejuvenating getaway without breaking the bank. that allow you to contribute to a cause while immersing yourself in a new environment. Eco- tourism destinations often focus on sustainable practices, providing a unique and health-conscious travel experience without the luxury price tag. Combine travel with a sense of purpose by exploring volunteer or eco-tourism opportunities. Many organizations offer affordable volunteer programs
6. Take Advantage of Nature’s Gifts:
Nature has a profound impact on well-being, and fortunately, it's often free. Plan activities that allow you to connect with nature, such as sunrise or sunset walks, stargazing, or simply enjoying the therapeutic sound of waves crashing on the shore. Nature's gifts are not only accessible but also contribute significantly to your mental and emotional health.
7. Utilize Technology for Deals:
In the digital age, technology can be a powerful tool for finding budget-friendly health-promoting trips.

Healthy Eating for 50s and 60s
A Guide to Nourishing Your Well-Being
A balanced eating pattern and a focus on essential nutrients can significantly enhance the prospects of healthy aging while maintaining an active lifestyle. This article offers a comprehensive guide on how to cultivate healthy eating habits in your 50s and 60s. The Landscape of Healthy Aging Sources: Lean meat, fish, tofu, eggs, poultry, and dairy products.
Recommended Intake: While the RDA suggests 0.36 grams per pound, an active lifestyle may require 0.5-0.9 grams per pound. 2. Calcium: Importance: Vital for bone health, heart and muscle function, and nerve activity. Sources: Dairy products like milk and cheese, or fortified beverages such as soy and almond milk. 3. Fiber: Importance: Promotes digestion, regulates sugar absorption, and aids in weight management. Sources: Fruits, vegetables, and whole grains like brown rice, popcorn, oats, and barley.
While aging is a natural part of life, adopting specific measures can contribute to maintaining overall health during this inevitable process. Various factors, including physical activity, diet, social support, genetics, and access to quality medical care, play pivotal roles in healthy aging. Nutrition, in particular, emerges as a crucial factor in reducing the risk of chronic diseases, osteoporosis, and age-related muscle loss (sarcopenia). Nutrients and Foods for Optimal Health Certain key nutrients become paramount for ensuring health during your 50s and 60s: 1. Protein: Importance: Builds and preserves lean muscle, supporting immune health and a robust metabolism.

4. Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Importance: Prevents mental decline and neurological diseases like dementia and Alzheimer’s. Sources: Nuts and seeds, algae, flaxseed oil, and fatty fish.
Dietary Adjustments for Optimal Aging:
1. Embrace Whole Foods:
Recommendation: Opt for fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables, along with lean proteins like poultry and fish. Caution: Avoid ultra-processed foods to mitigate risks of weight gain and heart disease.
2. Prioritize Water Intake:
Entering your 50s and 60s demands a dietary shift towards foods that promote good health and counteract age-related changes such as muscle loss and a slowing metabolism. Prioritizing a diet rich in protein, fiber, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids becomes pivotal for supporting overall well- being during this life stage. Advice: Make water your primary beverage to reduce reliance on nutritionally void foods and drinks. Alternatives: Include coffee, dairy milk, tea, and flavored water as excellent beverage choices.

PEPTIC ULCER DISEASE Unveiling Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Treatment
Peptic ulcer disease involves the formation of open sores, or ulcers, in the stomach or small intestine. Symptoms include stomach pain, bloating, heartburn, and nausea. Roughly one in 12 Americans grapple with this condition. Recently, singer Bruce Springsteen delayed concerts for 2023 due to medical treatment for peptic ulcer disease. Understanding Peptic Ulcer Disease Root Cause of Peptic Ulcer Disease The term "peptic" refers to stomach acid causing irritation to the stomach and small intestine lining, resulting in ulcers.
Dr. Carolyn Newberry, a gastroenterologist, explains that a breakdown in the protective mucus lining leads to peptic ulcer disease. Factors like reduced barrier efficacy or increased stomach acid secretion contribute to the condition.
Causes and Risk Factors
Various factors diminish the protective barrier against stomach acid, including smoking, alcohol, genetics, and certain medications like corticosteroids. Long-term use of NSAIDs, such as ibuprofen, can erode natural stomach protection. Bacterial infections, especially Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), commonly cause peptic ulcers. Stress, associated with increased stomach acid, is also a risk factor.

HEALTH IS WEALTH MAGAZINE
Signs and Symptoms
H. pylori induces inflammation, causing abdominal pain, heartburn, sour stomach, and nausea. Symptoms may appear as nonspecific digestive complaints. Generalized gastrointestinal issues may prompt H. pylori testing through stool, breath, or endoscopy biopsies. Some cases show no symptoms until endoscopy reveals peptic ulcer disease. Diagnosis Peptic ulcer disease is diagnosed through upper endoscopy, confirming the breakdown of mucus lining. Other imaging tests like barium swallows may show ulcers, but endoscopy is crucial for confirmation. Risk Factors and Vulnerability Older adults face higher susceptibility due to changes in stomach acid secretion and weakening protective factors. Those who are older, critically ill, and frail while using NSAIDs or steroids are most at risk. Combining NSAIDs with risk factors like smoking, steroid use, or an H. pylori infection increases vulnerability. Treatment Approaches Treatment varies based on the ulcer's cause, usually involving proton pump inhibitors to reduce stomach acid and eliminating risk factors. Quitting smoking, discontinuing NSAIDs or steroids, and treating H. pylori with antibiotics are common measures. Peptic ulcer disease is generally not severe, with a swift recovery. However, untreated ulcers can lead to cellular damage and stomach cancer in rare cases.
Preventive Measures Avoiding smoking, excessive medication use, and getting tested for infections like H. pylori can prevent peptic ulcers. Managing stress is crucial for prevention, emphasizing the importance of seeking treatment promptly when symptoms arise. In summary, understanding peptic ulcer disease involves recognizing symptoms, addressing risk factors, and seeking timely treatment to prevent complications.

Beat the Bloat
A Guide to Preventing and Managing Digestive Discomfort
Whether it's caused by overeating, gas, or other digestive issues, the good news is that there are practical steps you can take to prevent and manage bloating. In this guide, we'll explore the causes of bloating and provide actionable tips to keep your digestive system running smoothly. B loating, that uncomfortable and often inconvenient swelling of the abdomen, can turn a good day into an uncomfortable one. Bloating can result from various factors, and identifying the root cause is crucial for effective prevention. Here are common contributors to bloating: Understanding the Causes of Bloating
Gas produced during the digestion process can accumulate in the digestive tract, causing bloating. Digestive disorders such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) can also contribute. Gas and Digestive Disorders: Some people experience bloating due to intolerances to certain foods, such as lactose or gluten. Food Intolerances: Constipation: When stool builds up in the colon, it can lead to bloating and discomfort. Carbonated Drinks: The fizz in carbonated beverages introduces gas into the digestive system, potentially causing bloating.
Overeating:
Consuming large meals or eating too quickly can overwhelm your digestive system, leading to bloating.
