Hard candy wisdom

Although I do not agree with green peace all the time, I like this list of GMOs and it is an easy read. It is a good list of consumable products that we see on grocery shelves. So, the next time you go grocery shopping, take a closer look whether you are feeding yourself and your family GMOs or even request to your market to provide safer foods.
 Once, I remember elders say that we rarely got sick with various diseases back in the day because we stuck to our simple and ancient diet that has carried us forward since time immemorial. I use to think that they were simply being cheap with their hard candies when I asked them for síutís then, they would respond back with metaphors and a story or two. I know people back home who drink pop like it's water, I have seen that with my own 4 eyes. Pop is also addictive due to the biochemical reaction between our bodies and the high fructose syrup content found in his carbonated drinks. Consuming pop has also been linked to osteoperosis (decay of bone density). Aspartame (fake sugar substitute) is known to lower IQs, induce apetite (munchies), and induce migraines (first taste of diet pop as a teenager gave me this evidence). Today in íyiyiyu aschích, 9/10 Crees are considered overweight-obese. I continue to work out to manage my own weight and lost 80lbs for the past 5 years by getting to know my body's metabolism and dietary limits. I try my best to balance my food energy input and output with physical activity. We as Crees cannot properly process complex carbohydrates, like bidats (love them but bidatseh don't like my metabolism), and other modern industrialized foods that were altered by industries and we have yet to discover the full extent of our long term health effects. Step by step, we have to apply ethics of what we consume, educate ourselves about the foods we eat today, including industrial meat products. I also ask myself this question of whether our entities would ever consider investing more towards having accessible safer foods to accompany our traditional núchimí diet. And yes, my brain still craves pop from time to time, I admit I miss eating poutine too, and recently got sick from having a can of pop for quick energy. My digestive system paid the price for days. I believe people will be the faster catalyst for improvement.
 According to this list provided below, Werthers original candy that my late núkúm use to eat are safe candies that I still enjoy and keep in my messenger bag. Let us all continue to work together to bring overall fitness and wellness back into our daily living as a thriving people; socially, physically, emotionally, intellectually, metaphysically, and philosophically in-tune with our roots in order to reflect a stronger bridge for the next seven generations to build upon. Slowly getting to achieve my own fitness and wellness goal at dab íyiyiyu level; where I could be able to match the strength and endurance of our hunting ancestors by gathering information from our people, our stories, all schools, work, studies, marital arts, philosophy, as a Lemon Cree trainer, life experience, and our pursuit to improve our outcome to thrive as a íyiyiyuj/human beings.
 Enjoy your holidays. The love for our food should never disappear. I love to eat good food and share a meal with others. This is a cultural and social basis as Crees and as a family. I was always reminded to give thanks for simply being able to eat food. Stay safe and do not forget to burn off your epic feasts with exercise, stay hydrated with water, sleep well, and share more laughter with loved ones and friends. I am looking forward to sharing (mostly eating than cooking) home cooked meals, rest to recover my injuries (it happens), take in some natural landscape, and to lmao with relatives and friends back in Chaasiipii soon over the break.
I like wethers original candy, beaver, speedy recovery, tea, and more peace throughout aschích for the holidays.

fitness quick tip: proper stretching

How to**:

Stretching should be done slowly without bouncing. Stretch to where you feel a slight, easy stretch. Hold this feeling for 5-30 seconds. As you hold it, the sensation of tension should diminish. If it doesn't, just ease off slightly into a more comfortable stretch. It (easy) reduces tension and readies the tissues for the developmental (intermediate) stretch, kaw.

After holding the easy stretch move a fraction on an inch farther into the movement until you feel mild tension should also slightly diminish or stay the same. If the tension increases or becomes painful, you are over-stretching. Ease off a bit to a comfortable position. The developmental stretch reduces tension and will safely increase flexibility. {Remember not to force/rush your body to get to this level (or anything else in your fitness regiment). There is no short cuts to having a healthier bod' + pulled muscles is a painful game and only delays your fitness progress.}

Hold only stretch tensions that feel good to you. The key to stretching is to be relaxed while you concentrate on the area being stretched. Your breathing should be slow, deep and rhythmical. Don't worry about how far you can stretch. Stretch relaxed and limberness will become just one of the many by-products of regular stretching.

**Note: If you've had any recent surgery, muscle or joint problem, please consult your personal health care professional before starting a stretching or exercise program, kaw.
