Strawberry, Chocolate, Cookies n' Cream,
White and Root Beer Milk...just how far will we go to get our calcium? Let me tell you, a long way. I'm not one to turn my nose up to a ice cold glass of milk in the late evening before bed. The little town I live in has one grocery store and a convenience store that sells milk. The grocery store sells Iwig FAMILY DAIRY and they're having trouble keeping this milk in stock. Tells me that the area locals love this glass bottled extra creamy milk that doesn't have the added hormones that so many other milks have. www.iloveiwig.com
The milk comes in glass bottles which helps keep the milk colder than plastic. Glass bottles don't allow chemicals to leach into the product being stored in it. When plastic containers are heated up, they leach chemicals into the contents, then you ingest these chemicals known to cause health issues.
Iwig milk is free of rbST and rbGH injectable Hormones and free of antibiotics. This is where I have decided to take action for a healthier me by avoiding these things as much as possible. This year, I decided to start drinking Iwig milk instead of other milk from cows that has added hormones and antibiotics that the owners give their cows to encourage larger cows before going to market or milking them. Next I'm working at AVOIDING XENOESTROGENS.
Xenoestrogens contribute to troubling health issues with the human reproductive systems such as developing cancers, fibroids, heavier menstral cycles, miscarriages, infertility, low sperm count. Besides just reading and studying about fibroids, I wanted to change some actual things about what I eat and drink. I have had Uterine Fibroids for years and have been taking a watch and wait outlook with them. Uterine Fibroids are known to grow because they are estrogen fed. I try to avoid soy products because soy is a natural estrogen. I'm studying up on xenoestrogens so I will be better informed how to avoid these in my life. More blogging about this later.
Just about every January, I make a New Year's Resolution. If I take baby steps to getting where I hope to go, I'm more likely to stay on track getting there and actually reaching my goal. I know that what I eat and drink and wear and spend and save and talk and walk is more likely to take place if I keep it simple. Drinking milk is simple to me at the time.
Easy does it,

Dear Lord, may I desire the sincere milk of the word...
1Peter 2:1-3
1. WHEREFORE laying aside all malice, and all guile, and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings,
2. As new born babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:
3. If so ye have tasted that the LORD is gracious.
