THE TOP 7 REASONS TO MAKE TUMERIC A MAJOR PART OF THE SENIOR DIET
What is Tumeric?
Tumeric is a spice that comes from the ginger family and gives curry its unique yellow color.
What is the Active Ingredient in Tumeric?
Curcumin is the primary active ingredient and is a polyphenol categorized into 4 groups of compounds known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
The Top 7 Benefits of Tumeric
1. Lower the Risk of Heart Disease
Since chronic inflammation is a major risk factor for heart disease, any compound which reduces it is of benefit to the heart.
Recent studies indicate that the addition of polyphenols to the diet lowers both blood pressure and LDL cholesterol which is considered the bad cholesterol
2. Protect Against Cancer
Diets rich in organic plant foods have been consistently linked to reduced rates of cancer. Recent studies indicate that polyphenols may even block the growth of various cancer cells.
3. Improve Brain Function
This is generally associated with improved blood flow to the brain, polyphenols help with memory and focus, attention, and improved short-term memory.
4. Prevent Blood Clotting
Clots form when platelets in your blood clump together and form a clot. Called platelet aggregation, polyphenols reduce this clumping and therefore can reduce clotting which is a risk for both heart attach and stroke.
5. Can Help Lower Blood Sugar
Studies have shown that polyphenols help break down starch into simple sugars which can lower blood sugar spikes.
6. Promote a Healthy Gut
We hear all the talk about good bacteria in the stomach assisting digestion and helping fight harmful bacteria which can cause digestion problems and other stomach-related symptoms. Studies show polyphenols can help, especially tea extracts.
7. Reduce Arthritis Flareups
Arthritis is all about inflammation so any compound that reduces it is likely to be beneficial.
Adding Curcumin to Your Diet
Tumeric is a great addition to your diet in it’s natural power form after harvested, dried, and ground. It adds a wonderful aromatic flavor while adding a boost of yellow color to your meals. The flavor is subtle so it can be added to many things without significantly changing the flavor.
Getting Enough Curcumin Benefits
Unfortunately, in its natural powder form, you don’t get sufficient curcuminoid concentration to boost the antioxidant and inflammatory properties significantly. To do this you need about 95% concentration of curcumin, and this is usually best added to your diet through a supplement.
Don't forget to check out the link in the first comment to learn how to order Curcumin.

Failure is NOT the Opposite of Success!
This is a great lesson for us all... it was certainly a reminder for me today.
As you may already know I'm off on a new journey to create a secondary income stream to prepare for the day I formally retire, whenever that is. Currently, I still love working, am energized to go to the office each day, and I'm not ready to replace my employment income.
But the system is broken!!
With 10% inflation, $4.00 gas, and social security going away one day; the old standard of getting a good education leading to a good job and saving hard for retirement to make you set for life, just doesn't work anymore. I don't feel safe or secure and I certainly don't feel set for my retirement years.
PLEASE COMMENT IF YOU FEEL THE SAME.
I'm not going to leave my outcome to chance! I'm taking charge and am learning how to operate a side hustle in the new digital economy.
What it reminded me was that I've been part of multiple start-up companies in my life, none of which worked out exactly as envisioned. But it doesn't matter! I learned great lessons and I see these experiences as part of my journey and my future success.
The path to success is never a straight line. Anyone I know who is a success will gladly share all their failures along the way.
I take an abundance view of the universe, so if you agree with what I've written, I'm glad to share what I'm doing in case it can help you as well. Just drop a "yes" in the comment box and I'll contact you directly.
Regards,
William
TODAY'S INSPIRATION - WHY INSPIRATION MATTERS!
Inspiration is often overlooked because of its elusive nature, you can't touch it you can only feel it. Yet it can propel a person from apathy and despondency to a world of transformation and possibilities.
It always involves a moment of awareness where you're contemplating new goals or dreams, a new vision of what you want your life to be vs. the life that has been imposed upon you. It's what you can be later today or next week or next year!
It involves motivation and action to drive and act upon something for change doesn't happen without action. Need a reason to do it? Harvard's study proved that your physical and mental wellness increased significantly as your involvement with inspiration grew.
Best of all you control it and it costs nothing!!
So find an idea or a person to inspire you today. Follow them on YouTube, a Podcast, and Twitter.

TODAY'S INSPIRATION - CHANGE YOUR VISION - INSPIRE YOURSELF
When I first read this I thought, "how does one inspire yourself?".
Then it came to me that the poster was talking about visualization. To those who are not familiar with this term or technique, anyone can change their life and their future using visualiztion. The beauty of it is anyone can do it, it costs nothing, it isn't difficult, and it doesn't require any studying. It simply takes practice and perseverance.
Not happy with the way you live today? Then ask yourself how would you like to live? What would it look like if you were walking around in your ideal life? How would you feel? Who would be there, what would you be doing, what would you be saying? These things are all possible through the power of visualization.
Utilized by successful people in business and sports, this technique has been scientifically proven and written about by such noteworthy organizations as the Harvard Business Review. I will write a future post about visualization techniques and the science behind it, however, the success fo this technique is too power to ignore.
Remember it's 3 simple steps:
- learn the techniques
- practice
- be persistent and persevere
You too can use this technique to get what you want and...

TODAY'S INSPIRATION - THE BEST VIEW COMES AFTER THE HARDEST CLIMB
My father who is about to turn 90 just had a knee replacement and is at the beginning phases of rehab. For those who have experienced a knee or hip replacement, you know this is a lengthy and painful process. He and I discuss what it's going to be like frequently and climbing a mountain of gradual recovery until you reach the end and finally get the benefit of no more pain, total mobility, and freedom to do and go where he wants. This will be a much better place than where he's been for the last 5-10 years and the view will certainly be better.
After he commented that he would have done it 10 years ago had he known he was going to live to be 90, I reminded him that he could live another 10 years so could still get 10 good years out of that new knee.
If you've faced adversity in your life and come out of it on the other side with your life way better, why not share with our readers? You'll be your own inspiration to them.

TODAY'S INSPIRATION - I LOVE YOU
I was having lunch at the office today and called Linda to have our usual lunch call when I eat in. It's become a ritual for us and it makes us more connected and I know she appreciates that I take time for her. (Sometimes it's the little things that can make such a difference in a relationship)
We were discussing something at length when she interrupted me mid-sentence and said... "I just want to tell you that I love you." Wow, I felt this instant rush of warmth in my chest as I realized she doesn't say the words that often. She shows me her love in so many other small ways, but today was different. I realized that she must be feeling close to me to make a point to say "I love you."
It made me realize that there would be no better inspiration today than to share this experience. It reminded me of a quote about love that I looked up. "I don't love you because of who you are... I love you because of who I am when I'm with you.
We all have special people in our lives, partner, family, friends, who we love being with because of how they make us feel. One thing you could do today is to contact them and just out of the blue, tell them that you love them. I can guarantee you'll not only warm their heart, but it will make you feel extra special inside as well.
In what ways do you tell the people in your life that make you feel special what they mean to you?

THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN! Are you hurting financially due to 10% inflation and $5 per gallon gas?
Are you worried about Social Security running out of money?
Are you concerned you might have to move in with your kids sometime in retirement?
Not living the life you want because of all of these?
If any of these are you, then you need to read Jeff Lerner's new book!
From injured musician to failed entrepreneur in $1/2 milliion debt, Jeff has assembled a book that's the roadmap he used to become a multi-millionaire and will help you:
Get out of debt
Create time freedom
Establish financial security even if you just want to supplement your income
Jeff's book includes everything they don't teach you in school about the new digital economy he used to create his success... and YOU CAN TOO!
Jeff is my coach and mentor and as a senior I'm now on my way to:
1. Time and location freedom because I run my business online and can do it from anywhere there's an internet connection
2. I get to travel with my wife as we've always wanted to do
3. I'm on my way to financial freedom and security

Does Anyone REALLY Have Enough Money for Retirement?
If running out of money in retirement scares the heck out of you as it does me, then you're probably looking for options to add some extra income.
But what are the options? You're supposed to be retired so who wants another job? And as a senior the number of people who want to hire you are limited. HERE'S THE OPTION I DECIDED ON!! I wanted something I could do in my own time wherever I was located so I can still enjoy retirement and travel. Can anyone relate? But it couldn't be too difficult and cost megabucks to start. After all I'm in retirement right? My income is getting squeezed by 10% inflation and $5.00 gas right?

TODAY'S INSPIRATION - DON'T FORGET... YOU'RE AWESOME
After an exchange by text to wish a family member a happy birthday and telling her how awesome she is, it reminded me that we need to reflect on ourselves and perhaps look in the mirror and tell OURSELVES all the ways and reasons we are awesome too whether someone else tells us or not. l the ways WE are special.
So look in the mirror today and pick one thing you're awesome at and compliment yourself about it.
If you already do this, comment below and share in what ways you are special... you are awesome.

I feel so blessed to have found Jeff Lerner, my coach and mentor.
If you think the system is broken and want to find a way to get involved in the new "digital economy" and create time and location freedom as well as financial security. Jeff's book is a roadmap for how to do it. If you're not comfortable with your current financial picture or scared about how to supplement your retirement income, click on the link below to find out more.

Financial Freedom In Retirement? Is It A Pipedream?
For the last 10-15 years I’ve been planning for the day I could retire and be financially comfortable.
Then the craziness started… inflation at 10%, gas prices at $4 to $5, a teetering stock market cutting the values of retirement portfolios…. I think it’s become pretty clear that we have a broken system given our “retirement income” and portfolios aren’t adding enough to our income to keep up!
The Old Standards Don’t Apply Anymore!
We all grew up being told to get a good education and find a great job and save, save, save for retirement and you’ll be fine.
Well I Don’t Feel Fine, Do You?
I began asking myself, what if you could live by choice, and not by chance?
We've all been living this transition to the digital economy with products and services bought online. But where is the real information that is teaching people how to develop the proper skills in the “digital” economy… be the best version of ourselves, and have time and financial freedom at the same time.
Then I found Jeff Lerner and my life began to change. As my mentor and coach, I'm learning how to start a business and earn income in the digital economy and the cost is very little. Just a computer and internet connection... no buildings or employees... and work from wherever and whenever you want.
AND YOU CAN TOO!!
Is it easy? No. Will you make money immediately? Probably not. But with a little hard work and self discipline even seniors are learning how to do it.

With all of the craziness going on recently… inflation at 10%, gas prices at $4 to $5, a teetering stock market cutting the values of retirement portfolios….
I think it's become pretty clear that we have a broken system given our “retirement income” and portfolios aren’t adding enough to our income to keep up!
..what if this year there was a way we could learn new skills to secure our financial future without having to become a Walmart Greeter or some other “job”?
Most people wouldn’t know where to start!.
Where is the real information that is teaching people how to develop the proper skills in the “digital” economy… be the best version of ourselves at the same time.
What if you could live by choice, and not by chance?
If you’re in or near retirement and someone who’s looking for real solutions & real education on how-to navigate these uncertain times…keep an eye out for my post tomorrow.
Stay tuned!
TODAY'S INSPIRATION - THE POWER OF HUGS
We often forget about the power of touch and hugs are one of the most socially acceptable ways to hug. Even those who claim to be averse to touch are often moved by someone reaching out to give them a warm hug that says "you matter, I think you're special, or I understand what you're going through."
We regularly use words to demonstrate and explain how we feeling about things or people. Yet even a small hug can send an overwhelming message to someone who needs the power of touch to know that somebody cares because words are so callously used, but emotions are sincerely felt.
So reach out today to a loved one or anyone who could use some uplifting because they're going through a difficult time and let them know that they are important.

TODAY'S INSPIRATION - SHOW YOUR SPARKLE WHEREVER YOU ARE
We are all blessed with some unique quality that causes us to sparkle! For some it is their smile, a sense of humor, a high level of engergy, or a charisma. Whatever it is, we lead by example through this sparkle. People are drawn to us, they want to be around us and they are inspired to be the best version of themselves as a result.
Even when we start our day out badly we often encounter someone's sparkle and it re-energizes us allowing us to let our sparkle out for the rest of the day to pass along that energy. We also get to leave a trail of good feelings with those we encounter and often make a huge impact on someone's day or life though we might not even know it.
So take your sparkle out for a ride today... let it shine through, pass it along and inspire others to let theirs out as well.

TODAY'S INSPIRATION - TODAY IS A NEW BEGINNING
As human beings we are our own worst critics and tend to beat ourselves up over what we haven't done or accomplished or where we're at in our lives.
The beauty is that no matter where you are in your journey, you have the choice and control to dust yourself off, get up off the floor and create a new or better life for yourself. It may not be easy, but why not start with evaluating where you're at vs. where you want to be and identify what steps you need to take and what resources you need to reach that new goal.
We are blessed with the world's greatest free classroom in Google and YouTube and you can find almost anything you need to know there. There are tons of organizations that are willing to help and you may need to reach out to those in your circle of influence for some assistance.
If you do, you can change your life's dynamic from today forward and be back on the road to...

TODAY'S INSPIRATION - ENCOURAGEMENT
Today my wife was at the doctor and following this visit which was her 3rd interaction with the Nurse Practitioner, she complimented her on her bedside manner, her kind and caring attitude and encouraged her to exhibit these qualities as they mean so much to the patients.
The Nurse was overwhelmed and indicated that she really needed those kind words today. Who knows what is going on in the Nurse's life right now but whatever it is she clearly needed to hear the appreciation to boost her day.
We all put on a strong face when things are not going well but we all get discouraged. So don't underestimate the positive impact you can have on someone's day through your kind words of encouragement and appreciation.

TODAY'S INSPIRATION - RISE FROM THE STORM AND YOU WILL FIND SUNSHINE
What a great metaphor for overcoming a challenge and coming out better on the other side.
Think an incredible rainbow following a very violent thunderstorm which can do damage and even result in a tornado. If you're a fan of classic movies, think the final scene of Gone With The Wind when Rhett has left Scarlett and she broods over thinking of a way to get him back. She tolls I can't think about that today I'll go crazy if I do, but I must think about it and then explains after all tomorrow is another day.
What a great picture to paint in your mind of our ability to overcome almost anything.
Realizing this fact will make you stronger and give you confidence the next time you face adversity. Focus on the outcome you want and not the challenge you're facing right now.
This is also a testament to the human spirit which often finds a way to overcome serious abuses like a prisoner of war camp, a concentration camp, or even a seriously abusive relationship. We have an amazing ability to fight our way through and live a better life following the worst that life can throw at us.

TODAY'S INSPIRATION - DETERMINATION - DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE EVEN THOUGH YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE IT
This is a great life lesson which we all experience at one time or another, and some of us more so for those of us who have a tendency towards procrastination. It's about pushing your way through and completing something which has high value or benefit to you in the end even though it might not be fun to do, be hard to start, or take some time to complete.
When you have a task like that, why not use the 5-minute rule. Give yourself permission to dedicate at least 5 minutes which will get you started even if the task isn't finished. This is a great way to complete things faster by doing just 5 minutes a day even if it takes you a week to complete it.

TODAY'S INSPIRATION - MAKE YOURSELF A PRIORITY TODAY
During our busy lives, where we have lots of commitment to others, it is often easy to overlook the fact that being healthy yourself, physically, mentally, emotionally; is what keeps us strong and able to take the time and energy to help others.
The lesson is to make time for yourself every day to maintain a physical, spiritual, and emotional balance. For some that is prayer, meditation, music, physical exercise; and for others that could be treating yourself to a massage or a beauty treatment. The activity is less important than the results you achieve by indulging in them, after which, you'll be in a stronger place to be able to help others.
