Control Issues

Tired of trying to regain control of your life or someone else’ when your life is totally out of control? 

Learning how to recognize you’re out of control seems to be a relentless pursuit.  We tell ourselves we’re not trying to control the end results, when in fact we are. It is undeniable when the truth is staring you in the face.  How so?  Every situation points to your inability to control your life, let alone someone else’. 

Rarely recognized and often misunderstood issues with control develop in everyone’s life.  Denial is often the first recognizable trait we acknowledge.  Why?  Denial is an attempt to control how others view the unmanageability that has crept into our lives.  Our inability to deal with life on life’s terms turns into an incredible battle of wills with self.  You know, self-will run riot trying to control the outcome of every circumstance. 

Consequently, life on life’s term events happens with or without our expressed permission leaving behind those inevitable feelings of powerlessness, lack of control, abandonment, and defeat.  Could this have gone another way?  Of course, relinquishing the need for control and coming to acceptance can do a world of good.   

Acceptance is the key to freedom.  When God’s well becomes evident acceptance is not always to the first course of action.  We pray, ask for guidance and wait.  However, when prayer becomes the tool we use to exercise control over a situation the end results is always the same.  Trying to control how prayers get answered will cause even more pain. 

Consider this:

Seek guidance while asking for forgiveness; be willing to accept the answer with an open mind.  Understand that the solution will come in the good orderly direction in spite of how it feels, move forward knowing that God is, now and always has been in control.  “Adrienne Vanterpool”

The Role Sugar Plays in Erectile Dysfunction

Can Too Much Fat or Sugar in Your Diet Cause Erectile Dysfunction?

How to separate fact from fiction

FACEBOOKTWITTERLINKEDINPINTEREST

There’s a lot of advice out there about the ways a man’s diet can limit him when it comes to having children. We asked urologist Edmund Sabanegh, MD, Chairman of Urology and Director of Cleveland Clinic’s Center for Male Fertility, to help us separate fact from fiction.

Here are his answers to several of the most common questions about links between diet and erectile dysfunction (ED) or male infertility.

Q: Can my food choices cause ED?

A: High-fat diets and higher cholesterol levels are correlated with ED, which is largely caused by clogs in the small blood vessels. So the same things that cause heart disease can lead to ED. In fact, ED can often be the first sign of heart disease.

RELATED: Risk Factors for Erectile Dysfunction

Q: Can drinking sugary sodas or eating a lot of sugar cause male infertility?

A: Eating or drinking a lot of sugar can lead to obesity, which is a risk factor for diabetes. Poorly controlled diabetes can impact male fertility. Obesity can also cause changes to many hormones including testosterone, which can also lower fertility.

Q: Can eating fatty foods contribute to infertility?

A: Diets that are high in fat seem to be associated with infertility. There are several studies to suggest this.

One study, in particular, compared young men who ate a Western diet to those who ate what the researchers called a “prudent” diet. The Western diet consisted of things like red meat and pizza. The prudent diet was fish, chicken, vegetables and whole grains. Those on the prudent diet had improved fertility and better sperm motility in general.

Q: Do I need to avoid sugary or fatty foods completely if I want to conceive or if I’m concerned about ED?

A: Fertility and erectile function are products of your overall health. One sugary soda or fatty meal here and there isn’t a problem. It’s an issue when you have a regular pattern of taking in high-fat or sugary food or drinks.

Q: Can pesticides from produce that isn’t organic lead to male infertility?

A: There’s evidence that workers exposed to pesticides can have lower fertility, but it’s hard to trace how much pesticide is in store-bought fruits and vegetables. What we do know is that pesticides, in general, can affect sperm count and motility in high enough doses.

Q: Is there a link between processed meats and male infertility?

A: Meats, in general, are high in fat and fat is an issue. Processed meats are higher in nitrates, which we believe can also affect the sperm.

RELATED: 7 Choices That Keep Your Sperm Healthy

Q: Are there other foods I should avoid when trying to conceive?

A: Foods that contain phytoestrogens, such as soy products, can change your estrogen levels and potentially lower fertility.

You also need to be careful about androgen supplements, bodybuilding agents, and testosterone supplements. The World Health Organization is actually looking at testosterone as a potential male contraceptive because it turns off sperm production. So talk to your doctor before taking any type of supplement.

Q: Are there certain foods I should eat when trying to conceive?

A: Foods that are high in antioxidants, such as fruits and vegetables, may improve fertility in males. 

Q: I’ve heard that caffeine can cause male infertility. Is that true?

A: I don’t believe caffeine is a significant issue unless you’re a very high consumer.

Walk, Don't Run

How many times have you heard your parents, friends, loved ones, or a co-worker say, “walk, and don’t run?”  Perhaps too many times, nonetheless it was good advice.  Rushing through life not seeing those all-important obstacles, bumps in the road meant to slow our momentum, we run head first into trouble.  Slow down, take time to smell the coffee is another one of those sayings that we’ve heard all too often.  Opting to walk life’s path as oppose to running will bring great benefits and much needed change. 

Not being aware of this at a very young age I was always in a hurry.  Even as an adult I would rush around doing things which I thought made sense at the time, only to find out that I had to go back time and again to start and do it over.  Running through life on autopilot is the foundation of missed opportunity.  Walk, don’t run.  “Adrienne Vanterpool”

My Weight Loss Journey

I Been Thinking

What have you been thinking of?

I have been thinking of a time where peace overflows and joy reigns supreme. 

Where life’s pleasures are plentiful and pain has ceased to be.

A time and place where one can lift their hands in praise.

Sing of His glory and find rest, knowing all burdens have been removed. 
I have been thinking of love that last forever and has no limits.
A love that can not be touched by outside forces and danged by pain.
I have been thinking of joy, peace and pain, the emotional stress they bring if not handled correctly.  
I have been thinking about life and it's true meaning.
What are you thinking?

Symbolisms

Animal Symbolism of the Dragonfly

Symbolism of Dragonflies

As a creature of the wind, the dragonfly totem represents change.  Its iridescent wings are incredibly sensitive to the slightest breeze, and so we are reminded to heed where the proverbial wind blows - lest we run into stormy weather.

Dragonflies are also creatures of the water, and any creature whose habitat is in, or around water carries symbolism relative to the subconscious, or "dreaming" mind and thoughts.

This is because in the animal world, water is symbolic of the subconscious mind ("deeper mind," "dreaming mind") and relates to the thoughts we have in relaxed/meditative/sleeping/subconscious states.

Quick-list animal symbolism of the dragonfly:

·       prosperity

·       good luck

·       strength

·       peace

·       harmony

·       purity
