Are you B12 Deficient?

What do all these diseases have in common?

Alzheimer's, memory loss, dementia, MS, Depression, mental illness, bipolar,cardiovascular disease, learning or developmental disorders in kids, autism spectrum disorder, auto immune disease and immune dysregulation, cancer, male and female infertility...

ANSWER: they all mimic the signs and symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency.

   B12 works together with Folate in the synthesis of DNA and Red Blood cells. It is also involved in the production of the myelin sheath around nerves, and the conduction of nerve impulses. 

   You can think of the brain and the nervousness system as a big tangle of wires. Myelin is the insulation that protects those wires and helps them to conduct messages.

B12 is the only vitamin that contains the trace element cobalt. Cobalt is only produced in the gut of animals. It's the only vitamin we can't get from plants or sunlight.plants don't need B12 so they don't store it. This is why more vegans are deficient. 

Lack of storage? homemade remedy

PROBLEM: Are you like me and buy things in double, triple, or Godzilla size? I have a problem my canisters are too small to hold the giant bags of flour or rice and my garage is filling up with huge empty pickle jars....what? Like you don't buy giant jars of pickles.....I love buying in bulk and saving moola and only having to grocery shop once a month. Ok back to the problem, canisters to small...

REMEDY: Use those giant jars that are now empty and repurpose them!

This is the pickle jar with flour. Ugly she may be, but with some paint and label sticker she'll be a rising star in no time!

I used a 98 cent can of black matte spray  paint and as you can see, I painted the lid and other lids because I tend to get excited with paint:)

Went to a craft store and found my new favorite thing, sticker chalk labels.

And voila ...no storage problem anymore.

Biking through the city and suburbs 

This is extreme fun!

Biking to the city

So today my husband and I wanted to go biking, but instead of in the valleys and hills we went biking in and through interstate and downtown traffic! 

  We hit the University, a couple of parks, best buy, the mall, pier one imports, Joplin high school. Best of all we found a couple of hidden trails behind best buy and a creek! Who knew! So of course I was the first to lay in the creek....

 We got some exercise, fresh air, sweated. Most of all we saw are town in a different perspective and got to enjoy it instead of sitting at the light in traffic with a bad attitude and missing out on hidden treasures like the trail and creek we found. I challenge my friends to do the same, see and experience your town  or city in a different way.....:)
