Qigong for Health

by Kim Duess

I am always looking for new health modalities to incorporate into my preventive health ‘program’ (aka Life!).  The most recent addition is Qigong which I love!

You are what you eat.  Food DOES matter! I was inspired and motivated after watching Food Matters.  It reinforced a lot of the knowledge I have obtained over the last 10 years and reminded me why I do what I do!   Everytime I watch this movie, I gain insight on something new.

Warning, this documentary is full of disturbing content but it is our current American reality.  This is a movie that is a must see for all who eat!  If you are [...]

by Kim Duess

I was reminded today why I started up the You Be Healthy website. I want to truly help people and spread the ‘healthy word’. I want to do my small part in helping us get back on track. Because we are way off the healthy track as a Nation… Here are a few quotes from [...]

An interesting article from Dr. Mercola on the obesity epidemic in North America.  Basically, we should all be keeping our insulin levels very low.   At the moment, our insulin levels are going through the roof due to all the processed foods we consume. To help keep insulin low, we need to exercise, avoid these [...]
