Stress is the number one cause of disease. An amazing amount of research has been done that proves that chemical reactions in your body caused by stress lead to many illnesses. So, if you can manage your stress levels you are on your way to being healthy. Illnesses like obesity, heart disease, depression, uncontrolled weight-loss can all point back to stress levels in your life. But what causes stress in the first place? I believe it is our inability to step-back and make an effort to relax. Yes, we must examine how we process issues that cause stress in our lives but that requires that we relax first then we may be in a better position to deal with issues in a way that is calm and clear.

So I decided to take two days off to celebrate my birthday and relax. I said, let me play around with my youtube channel since I was relaxed. I decided to do a bulk update to title to append the word: Family Vlogs. Wow! What a mistake! Instead of appending I reset all titles to 197 videos to: | Family Vlog! I spent two days fixing the mess! At least I got a chance to review my titles, descriptions and tags. I had to painstakingly edit all of them one by one to fix the mess. So, don't do what I did! I was fresh from listening to advice from VidIQ about making sure your title, description and tags are tagged correctly with the audience you want and I got too excited! And being lazy I wanted a shortcut to performing these updates to my channel. My channel was struggle to gain organic views and I needed to do something drastic to attract viewers that watch family style vlogs. This is what prompted my action to my regret. But I did it and edited all my videos to match the audienc...

The people of real Wakanda are omnivores. Their diet is rich in carbohydrates and protein. They eat a balanced whole food diet. They do not eat processed foods. Because they work really hard and are always moving this diet is suitable for them. People of Wakanda grow their own foods that are suitable for their semi-arid climate. They grow their food organically without chemicals that destroy the land. As I said, they are environmentalists at heart. They value and respect the land that grows the food they consume. Since the beginning of time, the people of Wakanda have depended on the soil for their survival. Every family in the Wakandaland own a patch of land they use to grow food for their family. They grow foods like corn, beans, vegetables, and grass for their animals which are important source of labor for their food production. Animals are important to the people of Wakanda not because they are good source of labor but because they are a great part of their ancestral worsh...

I've been living in the United States for eighteen years and I worry about a day I will have to pack my bags and leave for good. I moved to the United States with my husband who had gotten a job as a software engineer. We had planned to remain in the United States for two years and eighteen years later we are still here. I asked myself, what is it about the United States that has caused me to remain here for so long. In this video, I list all the things that I love about the United States that make me think twice about leaving. America is not a perfect country by any stretch of the imagination, in many ways, she is being left behind but there are things that make America a great country still and it is always good to remember them in the midst of the troubles surrounding this country. I hope you enjoy the video, please feel free to subscribe to my youtube channel for more interesting things about USA and South Africa.
