Having enough energy to get through the day feeling alert, focused, and cheerful is something that seems like a pipe dream to many, yet, for those in great health, it's just the daily goal. There are many factors that increase our energy levels, the basics of which are eating a balanced and healthy diet of whole foods, getting plenty of sleep each night, and making sure that we keep a healthy exercise schedule.

There are many energy products on the market that force the body into an energetic state, while actually draining the body's reserves. These should be avoided at all costs!

Living to be 100 is an achievement that scientists believe more and more people will be enjoying in the future, thanks to technologies that can improve longevity. However, the current health crisis in America means that we might actually be seeing the first generation to have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. So, where will the dice fall?

That all depends on how you live! If you'd like to live through an entire century, start at home. Living in a pollutant and toxin-free environment is important. On the one hand, you want your environment clean to avoid nasty bacteria and viruses that make you sick, thus taxing and weakening your immune system. But you also want your environment to be clean - free of unhealthy chemicals. So, you start with a set of cleaning products that is both good for the earth and good for you: it's a win-win.

Next, you create a lifestyle that has minimal stress. Work you enjoy is a big part of that, as are ways to relax and unwind. Also entering the picture is getting plenty of exercise and staying in good physical shape. Of course, in order to do that you need to be well-fed and nourished. Vitamins and supplements are a big part of that routine, alongside a healthy diet.

Shaklee is an obvious partner in your goals. Through the use of their home cleaning, health and nutrition, and healthy beauty lines, you can ensure that you're doing right by yourself and the environment!

The Risks of Red Meat

The phrase "metabolic syndrome" is used to describe having three or more high risk factors for developing heart disease or diabetes. These risk factors include obesity, high triglyceride levels, too much bad cholesterol, too little good cholesterol, and high blood sugar levels. Eating two servings of meat per day increases the risk of metabolic syndrome by 26%, according to a study published in Circulation in January of 2008. Red meat is particularly likely to contribute to this risk. The big danger foods? Red meat, fried foods, soda, and heavily processed foods.

This is certainly not the only arena in which red meat is associated with health risks. Red meat eaters are twice as likely to get colon cancer. Research has also shown a positive correlation between red meat consumption and rheumatoid arthritis and endometriosis. The frequency of consumption and the source of the meat, especially conventionally raised meat, both play a role.

Make Your Own Biodegradable Flower Pots

For all the obvious reasons, making your own biodegradeable seedling containers is easy and fun- here's how:

1. Cut a toilet paper roll in half lengthwise.

2. Make four, ¾-inch slits evenly placed in one end of each half toilet paper rolls.

3. Fold the tabs in toward the center of the toilet paper roll, and close and secure these flaps like you would a cardboard box by tucking half of the last tab under the first tab.

4. Place the plant pot onto a flat surface. Cut a small circle of thin cardboard to fit inside bottom of the plant pot. Lay this small piece of cardboard into the bottom of the plant pot to keep the soil from escaping.

5. Fill the plant pot with potting soil and place it in a shallow tray. Make as many more plant pots as you need and fill them with potting soil.

When ready to transplant into your garden, bury each toilet paper plant pot entirely under the soil. These will now decompose naturally under the soil.
