The Yoga Of Menopause

Susun maintains: “Menopause is not a ‘pathology’, but a passage to power. Like puberty, menopause is a natural – and healthy – change. Wise women the world over herald menopause as a health-promoting event. They see hot flashes as ‘power surges’ and menopause as an intense spiritual journey. Most treatments – including ERT, HRT, isoflavone, and progesterone creams – disrupt this process and can do severe damage to a woman’s health.”

MENOPAUSE IS ENLIGHTENMENT

The energy aspects of menopause are of special interest to me.

As a long-time student of yoga, I was struck by the many similarities between menopausal symptoms and the well-known esoteric goal of “awakening of the kundalini.” Though the ideas presented in this section may seem strange or difficult to comprehend, they contain powerful messages about menopause, which lie at the heart of the Wise Woman approach.

Kundalini [is] the root [of] all spiritual experiences … Kundalini is a special kind of energy known in many cultures, including Tibetan, Indian, Sumerian, Chinese, Irish, Aztec, and Greek. Kundalini is said to be hot, fast, powerful, and large. It exists within the earth, within all life, and within each person. Psychoanalyst Carl G. Jung called kundalini anima. Kundalini is usually represented as a serpent coiled at the base of the spine, but women’s mystery stories locate it in the uterus – or the area where the uterus was, if a hysterectomy has occurred. During both puberty and menopause, a woman’s kundalini is difficult to control and may cause a great number of symptoms.

East Indian yogis spend lifetimes learning to activate, or wake up, their kundalini. This is also called “achieving enlightenment”. When they succeed, a surge of super-heated energy goes up the spine, throughout the nerves, dilating blood vessels, and fueling itself with hormones. As kundalini continues to travel up the spine, it changes the functioning of the endocrine, cardiovascular, and nervous systems. Not just in yogis, but in any woman who allows herself to become aware of it. Menopause is a kind of enlightenment. Hot flashes are kundalini training sessions.

TAKING HORMONES? THESE HERBS ARE FOR YOU

More and more American women are using herbal remedies to help them with menopausal problems. Those who do take ERT (estrogen replacement) or HRT (hormone replacement) may be surprised to discover that herbal medicine has a lot to offer them as well.

Herbs for women on ERT/HRT include those that alleviate side-effects as well as those that counter problems caused by the hormones.

Herbal Helpers Counter Side-Effects

Water retention is the symptom most often cited for dissatisfaction with hormone replacement. Herbal tinctures and tea, such as dandelion or cleavers, and ordinary foods can not only relieve the distress, they will go to the root of the problem and help prevent recurrences.

Dandelion root tincture (Taraxacum officinale) strengthens the liver and helps it process out the excess hormones you are taking. When the liver works well, the kidneys work better, and tissues no longer bloat. A dose is 10-20 drops in several ounces of water or juice 2-3 three times a day. If you have any digestion problems, take your dandelion before meals; otherwise, anytime is fine. You can safely take dandelion daily for months or years if you need or want to.

Cleavers herb tincture (Galium molluga) tells the lymphatic tissues to get moving. Relief from edema is usually rapid when 20-30 drops are taken in several ounces of water or juice. Repeat up to six times at hourly intervals if needed. Cleavers is especially helpful for easing swollen, sore breasts.

Foods that relieve water retention include (in order of effectiveness): asparagus, nettles, corn (and corn silk tea), grapes, cucumbers, watermelon (and watermelon seed tea), parsley, celery, black tea, and green tea.

Headaches are the second most common side-effect of hormone use. Unfortunately, they are common among menopausal women not taking hormones, too. Herbs that help relieve headache without a drug-like action – such as dandelion, yellow dock, milk thistle, burdock, garden sage, skullcap, and St. John’s/Joan’s wort – are generally considered safe to take with hormones.

Chinese herbalists say headaches are caused by liver stress. My favorite liver-strengthening herbs are dandelion, yellow dock, milk thistle seed, and burdock. I use one at a time, a 15-25 drops of the tincture several times a day, for two weeks. If symptoms continue, I switch to a different herb.

A strong tea of garden sage leaves (Salvia officinalis) offers immediate relief from headaches and helps prevent future ones. It also reduces night sweats. Tinctures of skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora) and St. Joan’s/John’s wort (Hypericum perforatum) ease pain and relieve muscle spasms. Use 5-20 drops of skullcap and a dropperful of St.J’s at the very first sign – no, the very first thought – of a headache. Repeat the doses every five minutes until pain free. Skullcap can be quite sedative, especially in large doses.

Herbal Allies to Prevent Problems Caused by Taking Hormones

Breast cancer risk is increased 20% in women who use ERT for five or more years. Use of HRT for five or more years increases breast cancer risk by 40%. Each five years of continued use increases the risk. In addition, women who take ERT are far more likely to get uterine or endometrial cancers. All women on hormones increase their risks of lung and ovarian cancer, too. Nourishing herbs such as red clover, and foods such as beans and yogurt, offer easy ways to stay cancer-free.

Red clover blossoms (Trifolium pratense), when dried and brewed into a strong infusion (one ounce herb steeped an a quart of boiling water for at least four hours) prevent cancer by providing phytoestrogens that counter the cancer-promoting effects of oral hormones. Usual dose is 2-4 cups a day. The infusion tastes like black tea and can be flavored with mint if you like.

Since uncooked beans and unfermented soy contain anti-nutritional factors that may promote bone loss and dementia, soy “milk” and tofu are not recommended. Miso and tamari definitely help to prevent breast cancer but soy isoflavones may promote it.

Yogurt helps build powerful immunity. Women who eat a quart of yogurt a week have 700% less cancer than women who eat no yogurt.

Dry eyes afflict more than 9% of women using ERT and over 7% of those on HRT. Risk increases by 70% for every year of continued use. And the longer a woman uses hormones, the greater her risk. Herbs such as oatstraw, chamomile, and chickweed can help relieve and prevent this problem.

Oatstraw infusion (Avena sativa) cools and moistens your eyes from the inside out, builds strong bones too. Use one ounce of dried herb in a quart jar; fill to the top with boiling water and cap tightly. Let steep four or more hours. Dose is 2-4 cups a day. Refrigerate after straining.

Cucumber slices ease dry eyes; so do chamomile tea bags.

The ultimate ally for women with dry eyes is fresh chickweed (Stellaria media), applied as a poultice to the closed eyes. Leave on for five minutes, or until the plant material feels warm (it will heat up). Repeat as needed.

Stroke and heart attack are actually increased by use of ERT/HRT, though modern medicine has long proclaimed the opposite. Every major double-blind study done to date has created a larger and larger gap between ERT/HRT’s supposed ability to help cardiovascular health and its actual results. Protect your heart with nourishing and tonifying herbs and foods such as motherwort, hawthorn, and cherries.

Motherwort (Leonurus cardiaca) tincture helps the heart. The Japanese claim it is their secret of longevity. A dose is 5-15 drops, twice a day. Motherwort also relieves hot flashes, calms tachycardiia, and eases anxiety. It’s an all-in-one remedy for menopausal women.

Hawthorn (Crataegus oxycantha) flowers, leaves, and fruits are all used to maintain heart health and control fluid build-up in heart tissues. A dose is 20- 30 drops of tincture 2-4 times a day, or a cup of tea with meals. This widespread shrub is considered one of the finest heart tonics in the world.

Cherries are even better than apples at keeping the doctor away. Dried cherries and cherry juice, even tincture of cherries.

More than three-quarters of the women in America over the age of fifty have refused ERT/HRT. If you want to join them, taper off your dosage slowly, while continuing to use nourishing and tonifying herbs such as dandelion, motherwort, red clover, oatstraw, and seaweed.

THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF ESTROGENS

  • Women make estrogens.
  • Plants make estrogens and estrogen-like compounds.
  • Chemicals, especially organochlorines, act like estrogens (xenoestrogens).

Pharmaceutical companies make estrogens from substances such as horse urine, wild yam roots, and petrochemicals. Tamoxifen, used to treat and prevent breast cancer, is a type of pharmaceutical estrogen.

Women make at least thirty types of estrogen, including estradiol, estrone, and estrace. Estradiol is the strongest; it is turned on at puberty and turned off at menopause. Estradiol is positively linked with breast cancer; other human estrogens are not. Anything that reduces the amount of estradiol a woman produces (such as pregnancy, lactation, early menopause, and late puberty) also decreases her risk of a breast cancer diagnosis.

Phytoestrogens counter the detrimental effects of estradiol by competing for the same receptor sites.

Estradiol is a strong estrogen and is metabolized by the long path. The other estrogens our bodies make are weak estrogens and are metabolized by the short path. Alcohol turns off the short path. Phytoestrogens are weak hormones and hormonal precursors. Phytoestrogens in foods are metabolized by the short path. Phytoestrogens appear to protect tissues from the cancer-causing effects of estradiol, xenoestrogens and pharmaceutical hormones. Phytoestrogens in foods prevent cancer and promote health; phytoestrogen supplements and processed soy fake-foods may do the opposite. Breast cancer occurs four times more often in women whose urinary output of phytoestrogen by-products is low compared to women whose urinary output is high.

Phytoestrogens are common in food. They are concentrated in seeds (grains, beans, nuts, berries) and roots. The exceptions to the rule that plants don’t contain human hormones: French beans, rice, apple seeds, licorice, and pomegranate seeds contain the “weak” estrogen estrone.

To get the greatest benefit from phytoestrogenic foods and herbs remember:

  1. Isolated phytoestrogens are not as safe as those “in matrix.”
  2. To make use of plant hormones, you need active, healthy gut flora.
  3. Herbs and foods rich in phytoestrogens need to be used in different ways.
  4. Phytoestrogens may have different effects on women who do not have their ovaries.
  1. Plants contain many types of phytoestrogens; additionally, they contain minerals and other constituents which help our bodies modify the phytoestrogens and so we can use them safely. Red clover is mineral-rich and contains all four of the major types of phytoestrogens: lignans, coumestans, isoflavones, and resorcylic acid lactones. It is the world’s best-known anti-cancer herb. In general, foods and herbs rich in phytoestrogens, with the possible exception of licorice, show anti-cancer abilities. Isoflavone, however, when isolated (usually from soy) has the opposite effect: in the lab it encourages the growth of breast cancer cells (endnote 32 in New Menopausal Years).
  2. Plant hormones, including most phytoestrogens, can’t be used by humans. But we can convert them into ones we can use – with the help of our gut bacteria. When women take antibiotics, their excretion of phytoestrogens plummets. Get your gut flora going by eating more yogurt, miso, unpasteurized sauerkraut, homemade beers and wines, picked-by-your-own-hands-and-unwashed fruits and salads, sourdough bread, and whey-fermented vegetables. (See Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon for whey-fermented vegetable recipes.)
  3. Plants which are exceptionally rich in phytoestrogens are regarded as powerful herbal medicines. Plants which are good sources of phytoestrogens are regarded as foods. While food can certainly be our medicine – a practice I advocate – it is also true that medicines are more dangerous than foods. Foods rich in phytoestrogens are different than medicinal herbs rich in phytoestrogens. They have different places in my life.

    • I eat phytoestrogenic foods daily in quantity.
    • I use phytoestrogenic food-like herbs regularly (not daily), in moderate quantity.
    • I take phytoestrogenic herbs rarely, in small amounts, for a limited time.

    Phytoestrogenic foods are the basis for a healthy diet and a long life. The first food listed is the highest in phytoestrogens. The best diet contains not just one but many choices from each list:

    • Whole grains (rye, oats, barley, millet, rice, wheat, corn)
    • Edible seeds (buckwheat, sesame, sunflower, pumpkin, amaranth, quinoa)
    • Beans (yellow split peas, black turtle beans, baby limas, Anasazi beans, red kidney beans, red lentils, soy beans)
    • Leafy greens and seaweed (parsley, nettle, kelp, cabbage, broccoli, kale, collards, lamb’s quarter)
    • Fruits (olives, cherries, grapes, apples, pears, peaches, plums, strawberries, blackberries, raspberries, salmon berries, apricots, crab apples, quinces, rosehips, blueberries)
    • Olive oil and seed oils. Garlic, onions and their relatives leeks, chives, scallions, ramps, shallot

    Phytoestrogenic food-like herbs are generally considered longevity tonics. For optimum effect, use only one from the list below and to stick with it for at least three months.

    • Citrus peel, dandelion leaves and/or roots, fenugreek seeds, flax seeds, green tea, hops, red clover, red wine.

    Phytoestrogenic herbs are usually too powerful for long- term use. From the list below (which is in alphabetical order), it is safest to use only one herb at a time, and use it only when needed, although that may mean daily use for several months. More information about these herbs, including specific dosages and cautions, is in New Menopausal Years the Wise Woman Way.

    • Agave root, black cohosh root, black currant, black haw, chasteberries, cramp bark, dong quai root, devil’s club root, false unicorn root, ginseng root, groundsel herb, licorice, liferoot herb, motherwort herb, peony root, raspberry leaves, rose family plants (most parts), sage leaves, sarsaparilla root, saw palmetto berried, wild yam root, yarrow blossoms.
  4. Most of the warnings about phytoestrogenic herbs center on their proven ability to thicken the uterine wall in animals who have had their ovaries removed. This could encourage cancer, just as taking ERT encourages cancer of the uterus by stimulating cell growth. Women without ovaries are probably safe eating phytoestrogenic foods, but may want to use phytoestrogenic herbs – especially ginseng, dong quai, licorice, red clover, and wild yam – in small amounts and only for short periods.

FURTHER NOTES ON PHYTOESTROGENIC PLANTS

  • Recent studies indicate black cohosh does not suppress luteinizing hormone, has no estrogenic effect, and contains no compounds related to estrogen. Red clover flower heads contain many hormone-like flavonoids, including isoflavone, daidzein, genistein, formononetin, biochanin, sitosterol, and coumestrol, a particularly strong phytoestrogen (six times more active than the one in soy). Red clover contains all four major estrogenic isoflavones; soy has only two of them. A cup of red clover infusion (not tea) contains ten times more phytoestrogens than a cup of soy beverage, is richer in calcium, has less calories, and contains no added sugars.
  • Researchers in Australia report a million lambs a year are aborted after sheep eat clover on pasture. Yet red clover is renowned as a fertility enhancer. What’s up? Stephen Buhner, author of The Secret Language of Plants, says clover plants make blood-thinning compounds (which cause abortion) when overgrazed, but don’t otherwise. Plants, it turns out, can fight back.
  • When unfermented soy takes the place of animal protein (meat and milk), its anti-nutritional factors can create brittle bones, thyroid problems, memory loss, vision impairment, irregular heartbeat, depression, and vulnerability to infections. Unfermented soy is high in hemoglutin, which causes clumping of red blood cells and may increase risk of stroke. It is also impressively rich in aluminum (up to 100 times more than is found in the same amount of real milk). Eating tofu more than once a week doubled the risk of Alzheimer’s in a small group of Japanese men studied for thirty years.
  • Human gut bacteria can cleave a sugar molecule from wild yam’s steroidal saponin, producing diosgenin. Labs make progesterone from diosgenin, but our bodies can’t. Diosgenin itself has a weak estrogenic effect. According to Australian herbalist Ruth Trickey: “A more probable explanation [for the observed effects of wild yam] … is that [diosgenin] interacts with hypothalamic and pituitary hormones and … initiates ovulation.”

The 4 Things All Entrepreneurs Must Know To Succeed In Business

By Louis Lim

To start and sustain a new business is a very exciting and challenging enterprise for most people but it entails the greatest risk of failure. Many wide-eye entrepreneurs go into a new enterprise, unfortunately, with more aspirations than common sense and put themselves at more dangers of failure than necessary.

Most new entrepreneurs go into their ventures with often a correct mindset i.e. to be their own bosses and make financial successes of them. However, like in any human enterprise, success requires more than motivation but an essential set of knowledge and skills. The simple formula for success is generally motivation, knowledge and skills.

However, there are four essential things that a new entrepreneur must know to succeed. The first is to know you have customers to sell to and you can provide for what they need. This is called ‘Having A Ready Market’. A new entrepreneur more often calls on customers they already know when they were working somewhere else or have ready customer who ask for their services when they start. Starting with customers is the best reason for a new business. This becomes harder with retail and knowing how to find the best location becomes a challenge.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E8Ued-avGXY[/youtube]

The next thing for success in business is mastering marketing. It’s basically about communicating with and selling to your customers. It can be as basic as having or being a good sales person. The chances are if you have no selling skills you are less likely to succeed in business. And this applies whether you are doing a conventional business or Internet Marketing! Marketing in general, entails more than direct selling; it is about promoting your product or services successfully to your clientele. Your objective is to create a reputation or brand which people trust so that they would consistently buy from you. Having consistent sales is what makes a company succeed!

The next essential factor for a company’s success is how a business is financially managed. The many dramatic failures in the corporate world in recent times had often to do with company insolvency. For a new entrepreneur, understanding financial management and cash flow is critical. Failure to understanding cash flow is one of the main reasons why a company fails.

Last but not least, for a company to have success, the management must know how to deploy its resources. This could be about how to motivate and deploy its employees in furthering the company’s marketing and financial objectives. Also knowing how to allocate funds for running the business or acquiring essential assets is another operational requirement. There are also other resources like technical or intellectual resources. For this, an entrepreneur either learns the operational skills himself or employs one who knows them.

A simpler way to learn how to start a business without having to master the complexities of a conventional business is internet marketing. For anyone, going through an internet marketing course would allow the basics of entrepreneurship to be acquired. The author’s resource box below would lead you to a very excellent program.

Cannabis Market Worth $39.35 Billion By 2023, At A Cagr Of 30.7%

Cannabis is a drug derived from the cannabis sativa, cannabis indica, and hybrid strains. Although cannabis is composed of different cannabinoids, the two main cannabinoids considered to be the most active compounds are tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive compound, and cannabidiol (CBD), the non-psychoactive compound. The growth of this market is attributed to the growing number of medicinal applications of cannabis and increasing legalization of cannabis. However, the complex regulatory structure for the use of cannabis is restraining the market growth. MarketsandMarkets expects the globalcannabis marketto grow from USD 10.3 billion in 2018 to USD 39.4 billion by 2023, at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 30.7% during the forecast period. Download PDF Brochure: The concentrates segment, by product type, is projected to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. This is majorly due to the varied number of forms in which concentrates are made available for consumption. Some of these forms are shatter, rosin, wax, crumble, oil, dabs, and tinctures. Additionally, concentrates are more potent in nature in comparison with flowers. While buds have a potency range of about 10% to 25%, concentrates have a potency rate of about 50% to 80%, with a few extracts also boasting of a potency rate of about 90%. Concentrates also enjoy a wide variety of delivery methods such as smoking, vaping, dabbing, ingestion, and tinctures. These delivery methods further aid the market growth of concentrates. Report Objectives: • Determining and projecting the size of the market with respect to product type, application, compound, and region, over a five-year period ranging from 2018 to 2023 • Identifying attractive opportunities in the market by determining the largest and fastest-growing segments across regions • Providing detailed information about the key factors influencing the growth of the market (drivers, restraints, opportunities, and industry-specific challenges) • Analyzing the micromarkets with respect to individual growth trends, future prospects, and their contribution to the total market • Identifying and profiling key market players in the cannabis market • Providing a comparative analysis of the market leaders on the basis of the following: o Product offerings o Business strategies o Strengths and weaknesses o Key financials • Understanding the competitive landscape and identifying the major growth strategies adopted by players across the key regions • Analyzing the supply chain, products, and regulatory frameworks across regions and their impact on the prominent market players • Providing insights on key innovations and investments in the market The recreational segment, by application, is projected to grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Uruguay is the only country in South America to have legalized the use of recreational cannabis. The cannabis market is projected to remain concentrated in the US and Canada. Despite its low availability in various countries, the consumption and demand levels remain equivalent to that of medicinal cannabis. As a result, the demand for recreational cannabis is projected to surpass the demand for medical cannabis. For instance, medical cannabis is legalized mainly in 33 states of the US. However, only 10 states in the country have legalized recreational cannabis, and its consumption level is almost equivalent to the consumption level of medical cannabis across the 33 states. Therefore, the legalization of recreational cannabis across other regions could translate into a larger market share for this segment. Speak to Analyst: In terms of geographical coverage, the cannabis market has been segmented into 4 regions, namely, North America, South America, Europe, RoW (Rest of the World). Europe is projected to record the highest growth rate during the forecast period. The market in Europe is still in its introductory stage and has significant potential due to its population, which is even higher than the US and Canada combined. However, most market players such as Aphria, Inc. (Canada) and Terra Tech Corp. (US) have an established and well-networked market for cannabis in the Americas, with the majority of their revenues being generated from the US and Canada, making the North American market the most dominant one.

How To Grow Parsley And The Many Uses Of The Parsley Herbs

By Mary Hanna

The humble parsley herbs have been around for centuries. The Greeks planted the parsley herb as a border for their gardens. They also used the parsley herb to crown winners at competitions and to decorate tombs. The Romans believed that the herb parsley could prevent intoxication. They used it in great quantities. It can be used as an herb parsley tea which many say is useful in curbing a stubborn cough. Parsley herbs are used to make herbal remedies.

The parsley herb is a biennial, which means it will last two years after which the parsley must be replanted. The parsley herb will produce an umbrella of small yellow flowers. The first year of the parsley herb will have a more delicate flavor.

Curly parsley, the most commonly grown, is very pretty as a border around an herb garden. Parsley produces crisp, curly, bright green leaves. Parsley is one of the most nutritious herbs around containing potassium, calcium, vitamins A and C and many other needed minerals. It is also the most widely used herb in the kitchen. It can be used in virtually every recipe, salads, meats, soups, stews, even parsley sauce or an herbal parsley tea.

The flavor of the herb parsley is mild and savory. Parsley is good at masking other harsher flavors. Parsley is said to sweeten the breath after eating garlic. The parsley herb is good for the circulation and the digestive system. The parsley plant can be used to make herbal remedies. It is a diuretic.

A good online marketing agency will work closely with businesses to ensure advertising goals are met. They can reduce time required to produce marketing materials in-house and track results to determine return on investment.

Online marketing consultants can help businesses determine which methods are most appropriate for their specific business model. They can create advertising campaigns from start to finish or work closely with business owners or their staff.

Regardless of how campaigns are developed, once created they are broadcast through online channels. These might include uploading marketing videos or audio podcasts at various directories; sending out email blasts; publishing informative articles; or participating at social networking sites.

Businesses should commit to engaging in consecutive ad campaigns and constantly explore new marketing venues. It is often beneficial to develop a company website or blog. While it can be tempting to do this in-house, web design is better left to the professionals. Realize websites are one of the most powerful tools in your marketing arsenal.

The World Of Real Estate Is Changing, The Emergence Of Rent To Own And Lease To Own

By Bob Mandel

The new economy is bringing together more sellers who can’t sell their houses today and buyers who can’t buy today. Selling a home is like any type of sale where there are two parties trying to make a deal. If one door is shut another one can open or it’s a no deal. This is giving birth to the Rent to own option.

This week I have been confronted with sellers or Buyers 6 times interested in this option. We did one yesterday. The scenario was a seller who has been on he market for 8 months. They were listed previously with a full service company with no offers and moved out of state where they bought another house. Their house was modestly priced but they still could not get anyone to buy it and take advantage of the tax rebate program. Every month that went by they were laying out $1100. They were considering renting and then an opportunity arose this week.

A qualified couple indicated that they wanted to purchase the home but needed to sell their home in Washington. They proposed renting until their home sold and then would close on ours. My seller agreed to do the deal even though they would lose $200 a month on the rent.

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K81Gj5_UuFM[/youtube]

The math worked. If they take the house and close in 5 months that is equivalent to 1 month of $1100 that they would have to lay out and now they have a buyer instead of a vacant house which costs more to maintain and riskier to watch over from out of state.

There is always a down side to Rent to owns as far as risk of a tenant that messes up the house, or that you have to evict for not paying the rent.

So, what type of Rent2Own person doesn’t have credit problems? Young people who have good credit but don’t have 2 years of employment history coming out of college with good jobs like Nursing or Teaching or other professions with student debt. Young people who have no history of credit that always paid cash. Divorcees who are getting a significant divorce settlement. People who are waiting for an inheritance or lawsuit settlement are part of the people that would be looking for the Rent2Own option and are great candidates in a tight market. There are also people who can gifts from family, but do not have the employment history yet. Another possibility is a Rent2Own person who has a co-signor on the option agreement assuring that the person occupying the home will be guranteed to get a loan within the defined period of time.

In a perfect world this would not be the best option for the seller. But, our world is far from perfect. The Subslimers have made our world harder to sell homes and flexibility is they key to come up with the next best solution if you can’t sell. Holding on to a house can cause foreclosures, and bankruptcies, which will affect property values. Rent to owns are better then renters as they have a vested interest to keep up the house since they will lose earnest money if they can’t perform. With the low interest rates of today, many more people will be seeking out this option

How To Make Your Home An Eco Energy Home

By Adriana Noton

The world today is fast using up all it’s resources. The pace at witch we are using the resources is faster than it’s being replenished. Water is becoming very scarce in most areas and other resources are also becoming hard to come by. By turning your home into a Eco Energy home you will help to save our natural resources.

To start off your Eco Energy journey, you can have solar panels installed on the roof of your house. They operate with the rays of he sun and store energy that can be used to operate electrical appliances as well as your geyser. This not only will help to cut your electricity bills at the end of the month. The water will be heated during the day by the sun and any extra energy can be stored in batteries to heat it on dull days.

You could install skylights into the roof of your house. These will allow more natural light from the sun during the day reducing your electricity usage. The sunlight that is let into the room is far more powerful than the light given off by a light bulb. They are not able to provide much light during the night but still allow some light in given off by the stars and moon.

If you do need to use electricity to light up your house, you can make use of energy saving bulbs. They can be used in any light socket and some times have a brighter light than a normal bulb. Less energy is used by these bulbs. They sometimes take a little while to reach their full light but when reached are bright enough to light up the room.

Some people are known to leave a room and forget to turn off the light. There is a way of preventing this by installing a motion sensor into a room. It will automatically pick up any motion in the room and immediately turn on the light. When you leave the room it will turn off the light after a short period of no movement.

A low flow toilet mechanism can be installed into your toilet. They help by using less water when your toilet is flushed. This will help you save on your energy and water bills.

If you have a fire place in your home consider using that to heat up rooms instead of heaters. They will help you to cut your electricity bills by quite a bit. Using a fire to do some of your cooking is also a way of saving on electricity and is more Eco friendly.

There really are many ways available to help you make your house more Eco friendly. Some will provide Eco energy for you to use and others will just help to save the earths natural resources. In the end, if we don’t do our part to help save the earth we will end up with a planet that will not be able to sustain us for much longer and future generations will pay the price.
