7 Steps To Stay Young - Serj

When we were 16 years old we could not help but to want to get older so we could get our own place; our own job; our own car; and the list goes on. Now that we have all of those things we look back and wish we could have the bodies that we had when we were 16. Ironic as that is you are not the only one that feels that way and thus this list is created. Although we can not lead you to believe that you will look 16 again and yet if you follow these practical steps they will delay you from looking or feeling 100.


1. Quit Smoking

It can not be overemphasized how important this step is. If you were to do one thing that drastically impacted how your physical body looks 5 years from now then at the very least quit smoking. Quitting smoking is perhaps one of the most difficult things to do, I know, I went through it myself. What helped me finally quit was that I loved doing something more than smoking and I asked my spouse if she would allow me to do it if I could quit smoking and so she agreed. She signed up for this thing and was the only one who knew the password for it. I then told her that if I smoked she should take this thing away from me. This worked, I haven't touched a cigarette since, I just quit "cold turkey." This may or may not work for you. If you are interested in quitting smoking there are several resources available to help you quit.


2. Quit Doing Drugs

When we talk about quitting to use drugs, we are not referring to the illegal drugs like marijuana, methamphetamine, heroin, etc. everyone knows not to use those. When we say quit using drugs then we are talking about your over the counter drugs. Drugs like your painkillers, sleep aids, and antacids are sometimes necessary however if they are taken on a daily basis they will cause you to deteriorate. If the pain is insignificant try skipping that pain pill. If you can avoid taking the sleeping pill, avoid it. The chemicals that are in those pills destroy your body over time. Often the reason for the pain or the inability to sleep is able to be resolved in a better alternative method. A common over the counter drug is alcohol. Although we do not say that alcohol is bad, in fact some research proves that wine can be healthy for you if it is done in moderation. Alcohol in excessive amount can be literally devastating to a human body yet in moderation it should not cause much of a negative effect or may even be helpful.


3. Exercise

Exercise has an amazing effect on your body. The very first reason to exercise is that it rebuilds your muscles. Your body is very smart. It creates what you use and gets rid of what you don't use. Therefore if you spend all of your time sitting in from of the TV or computer then you use very little of your muscles and so the body starts deteriorating your muscles because it does not need them. When you are working out you start rebuilding your muscles. This is also true for other organs such as your lungs when you engage in cardiovascular activity. Second thing that working out does is it gets rid of the unnecessary and sometimes bad elements that are in your body. By sweating your body is able to "exhale" all of the negative elements that are inside of you. This also includes your body converting your stored fat into energy thus getting rid of those "love handles." The third thing that is a by-product of exercise is the automatic confidence that is built within yourself.


4. Eat healthy

Eating healthy is along the same lines as exercise. Perhaps one of the most common reasons that I hear people eat unhealthy foods is the cost of purchasing good food. My question to you then is if your health is unimportant enough that you are willing to intake foods that are harmful for you then what is? Always opt for foods that are organic. Non-organic foods are supplemented by chemicals that the scientific community of the whole world is concluding as this being the biggest cause of cancer. We ask why is cancer so prevalent now but was not so much just 50 years ago...it is because of our daily food. I will implore you to please eat organic food whenever possible. Also buy a water filter that filters your drinking water. Often such a filter costs less than $50 and lasts several months and yet it gets rid of all the chlorine and other harmful chemicals that are in your tap water. If there is one change that you make that perhaps causes the most impact for your health it would be to get a water filter. A report by the U.S. Cancer Institute states that "Drinking chlorinated water may as much as double the risk of bladder cancer." Now isn't a $50 investment insignificant when you compare it to how much of a benefit is provided to you and your family?


5. Stop tanning or at least use sun screen

The American Academy of Dermatology states that without protection from the sun’s rays, just a few minutes of exposure each day over the years can cause noticeable changes to the skin. Freckles, age spots, spider veins on the face, rough and leathery skin, fine wrinkles that disappear when stretched, loose skin, a blotchy complexion, actinic keratoses (thick wart-like, rough, reddish patches of skin), and skin cancer can all be traced to sun exposure. Any tanning booth usage will cause acceleration of skin aging as well. Those people who tan on a regular basis might have some of the same skin aging in their 20's that would normally show up in a person 50 years old or older. You can protect yourself by applying sun block that guarantees protection from ultra-violet rays before doing any activity that involves being exposed to the sun for longer than a few minutes.


6. Take Vitamins and Supplements

Vitamins, Green Teas, Fish Oils all of these products should be taken through out our whole life. It is amazing how well these supplements help to protect our bodily functions such as the immune system, eyesight, hearing, touch, taste, and sharp brain activity are all maintained and enhanced by providing the body with the necessary nutrients it needs to function correctly. There is a plethora of information available on how vitamins benefit your body in the aging process. Just type in vitamins and aging in your favorite search engine.


7. Anti Aging Products

In our technologically advanced civilization scientific breakthroughs are occurring on a daily basis, it seems. One that you may have likely used yourself is some form of an anti-aging cream. whether it is exfoliating, rejuvenating or any of the the other creams designed for epidermal treatment. One that is most recently a phenomenon is the discovery of use of human growth hormones for treating aging issues. It shows tremendous possibilities, especially for those who are 40 years old and older. These products can effect you in countless ways so it is to your benefit to further research them and the possibilities that they can have for you.

Staying young is the reality that most people hope for and there are some things that you can do to help you with that. Yet the bottom line is that you should enjoy life while you are living it. If we were determined to live making sure that we looked as young as possible for as long as possible, we would stay inside all of the time, we would constantly be covered in some kinds of creams and constantly watching what we do and what we eat. This is not always possible and is certainly not a glamorous way to live so you should consider what you read here and try to implement them as you can. The more that you can implement the younger you will remain but you also want to make sure that you are staying young so that you can live and not living to stay young.

How Much Protein Should You Eat Every Day?

Everyone knows that protein is an essential part of your daily diet, and meeting a minimum protein level throughout the day is vital for having the energy you need as the day rolls on. Some people, however, are unaware of the fact that there is also such thing as having too much protein in your diet, because your body doesn't know what to do with excess protein and this can cause more harm than good. Having excess protein in your diet can cause just as many harmful effects for your health as not getting enough protein can. If you are increasing your protein intake but your calorie intake or exercise habit is not increasing along with it, you can actually put your body through more stress than it needs or than it can handle for that matter.

Your body requires protein on a daily basis in order to repair and build your muscles along with other vital body tissues. Protein allows your body to create the hormones that it needs for optimum health, and to make the enzymes that are needed for metabolic and digestive processes. If you do not consume enough protein on a daily basis, your body may turn to your muscle instead, breaking it down to find the energy it needs.

Proteins are comprised of amino acids, which are essentially building blocks, and there are somewhere around twenty different amino acids, some of which are actually created by your body. There are nine different amino acids, however, that cannot be synthesized by the body, and these are known as essential amino acids. The only way to get these essential amino acids is by eating whole foods that contain them. It is vital that you eat a variety of different protein foods every single day so that your body can get all of the essential amino acids that it needs.


There are a number of excellent whole food sources of protein that offer all nine of the essential amino acids, including meat, turkey, fish, eggs, chicken, cheese, milk, soy and yogurt. You can also find some, but not all, of the nine essential amino acids in plant food sources such as beans and peas and other legumes, nuts, peanut butter and some seeds. If you are a vegetarian, then it is vital that you find the right balance of whole food plant sources including vegetables, legumes, seeds, nuts and grains in order to get all of the essential amino acids that you need.

The amount of protein that you need is dependent upon your age, the size of your body, and how active you tend to be, or how much energy you burn throughout an average day. Most teenagers, for example, need between 40 and 50 grams of protein per day. The best way to get an estimate of how much protein you need is to take your weight and multiply it by about 0.40, and you will have the number of grams of protein that you need for a day. So if you weigh 150lbs for example, and you multiply that by 0.40, you will need 60 grams of protein every day for optimum health. This is just an estimate however, and there are a number of characteristics that will impact this number, such as whether or not you are an athlete or play sports.

Many of the whole food sources of protein are excellent at delivering the protein that you need. For example, fish, beef, chicken and shrimp can provide as many as 21 grams of protein per 3 oz serving. A single cup of yogurt can provide 11 grams of protein, and cooked lentils and tofu can provide 9 grams of protein with only a half cup of food. Other excellent sources for protein include bulgur, kashi, oats, millet, cooked egg, hummus, soy milk, cooked beans, cheese and cow's milk. There are a number of different protein supplements that come in the form of bars, powders and shakes. Usually though, most people get their much needed protein, rendering these supplements unnecessary in most cases. But if you need to put more protein into your diet, make sure your protein supplement contains several forms of protein (not just whey protein) AND the protein includes an enzyme additive for protein digestion. This will ensure your body can digest the protein and you acheive maximum benefits from taking the supplement.

Help! I've Burned My Warm Market, Where Do I Go From Here? - Dale Moreau

I understand the problem when someone says they burned their warm market and have no where else to turn for I've been there and done it. I made a list of 200 names (actually more) and called all of them followed the directions of my upline and leaders and burned through my entire list without having any success. This appears to be the common situation that is found in network marketing. However, it certainly does not need to be this way. You can achieve MLM sucess with the RIGHT MLM training.

When people reach this point in their warm market, they turn to extreme measures. They seem to try to buy leads, go to free lead generator websites and do cold calling. I have news for you - these never work and you are wasting your time and money on them. After a while most will quit the business because their confidence has already been reduced during their negative reaction of their warm market.

There is only one way to generate leads once you have burned your warm market and that is to turn to the internet to generate leads. But how? It is simplier than you think.

Now, I will not be popular with most MLM companies when I ask you to turn to the internet for most MLM companies have a tendency to ONLY EMPHASIZE warm market and refuse to understand any other method. Well, I have news for you....that sucks because that method is broken.

There is a CORRECT method of generating leads through the internet and it is important for you to find it. Thank God for MLM Outlaws for they are the best which is on the internet to help youi in this matter.

Blogging, writing articles, doing videos on youtube and other outlets are important in generating leads for your MLM company but I suggest you learn how to do these things well though you feel you cannot. As Tim Sales says, "Just get the "hard" out of the way. Confront what you're not good at and get good at it."

How To Instantly Lose 1-2 Inches Off Your Waist Line - Ed Scow

No, I'm sorry my subject line has nothing to do with magic fat burning pills or the latest gadget found on late-night infomercials.

But that is the most common question I get, not only from clients but from everyday people who have found out I'm a personal trainer.

"How do I get rid of this...quickly?" It's usually asked while grabbing a hold of a little goo sitting on the tummy.

The proper answer is that it takes exercise and better eating habits, but there is a quicker answer that may surprise you.

All you have to do is learn to control your abdominal, low back and butt muscles and you will instantly lose a couple inches off your stomach.

It's not really magic, it's just learning to use proper posture while sitting and standing.

Today's population has horrible posture. I see it everyday, not only in my training studio and massage clients, but just from "people watching".

Everybody is slouching with rounded shoulders, flat butts or they let their gut hang out which gives them a big curve in their lower back.

That's why I am constantly telling my training clients to keep their tummies tight while doing their workouts.

The ladies in my boot camps can attest to this. I'm constantly harping on them to keep their tummies tight.

I can tell when they are and when they aren't, because their stomachs will shrink by a couple inches when they keep their stomachs tight and controlled.

It's probably the easiest thing you can do, right now, to make your stomach shrink. Not only that, but your body will feel better.

When you have poor posture, or let your stomach muscles get too relaxed, your body has to work harder to keep you upright. That means you'll get tired easily.

Not only that, but you won't perform as well in your day-to-day tasks. All because of poor posture.

So here's what you can do right now, while reading this, to help remedy the situation.

Sit up straight, or stand up straight. Lift your chin up so you're looking straight ahead.

Pull your shoulders back by squeezing your shoulder blades together. Lift your chest up and relax your shoulders so you're not all hunched up.

Now contract your abs like someone is going to punch you in the gut. Not too hard, just enough that you know they're tight.

Now, if you're someone who lets their gut hang out, creating a nasty curve in your lower back, I want you to tighten your glutes (butt) and "tuck your tail under" so that your stomach comes back and that curve in your low back goes back to normal.

If you've done this right, you should look like a soldier standing at attention.

There's a reason soldiers look so fit and intimidating when they're standing at attention. They're using perfect posture (plus they're in damn good shape). They're standing upright without any hunches and are not letting their guts hang out.

Practice this routine multiple times per day until it becomes routine.

Not only that, but when you're exercising, concentrate on keeping your stomach tight. You will be amazed at the results you see in the mirror. Actually, that's another good tip. Practice this in front of a mirror.

You, and the people around you, will think that you have lost 10 pounds.

Have a good day!

Get A Grip On Fatty Acids - Lisa Nelson

Unless you have been living under a rock, you have probably heard the term fatty acids. But, do you understand what they are and how the right ratio will improve your heart health? I intend to clear up the confusion.

There are numerous types of fatty acids. I am focusing on omega 3 and omega 6.

Unsaturated Fats

Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids are both unsaturated fats. To improve cholesterol levels, you want to replace the saturated fats (i.e. lard, shortening, ice cream, cheese) in your diet with unsaturated fats.

What does "omega" mean?

Most of you are familiar with the saying "alpha to omega", in other words, beginning to end. The "omega" indicates which carbon has the first double bond on the carbon chain when you start counting from the omega end. For omega 3, the first double bond is on the third carbon from the omega end of the carbon chain. I know you were wanting to review a little biochemistry today!

Essential Fatty Acids

Omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids are also essential fatty acids.

Essential fatty acids are necessary for cardiovascular health, but our body cannot synthesize them. You can only obtain essential fatty acids through the foods you eat.

Omega 3 (Linolenic Acid)

To keep things simple, I am going to use the acronyms ALA, EPA, and DHA. These are all types of omega 3 fatty acids. If we consume a food containing the omega 3 fatty acid ALA, our body will convert it to EPA and DHA. Studies have shown a link between EPA, DHA, and heart disease. More studies are needed to understand ALA's relationship.

Sources:

Oils - Canola oil, Soybean oil, Flaxseed oil (good source of ALA)

Seeds and nuts - flaxseeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, Brazil nuts, sesame seeds

Vegetables - avocados, some dark leafy green vegetables (kale, spinach, mustard greens, collards)

Fish (good source of EPA and DHA) - salmon, mackerel, sardines, anchovies, albacore tuna, lake trout, herring

Omega 6 (Linoleic Acid)

I am going to throw in more acronym's - GLA and AA - omega 6 fatty acids. Linoleic acid is converted to GLA and on into AA by the body. Researchers are finding indications of a link between GLA and EPA, in relation to heart health and reduced blood pressure. High intake of sugars, alcohol, trans fats, and various other factors can inhibit the conversion from linoleic acid to GLA.

Sources:

Oils - Sunflower oil, corn oil, safflower oil, soybean oil, cottonseed oil, flaxseed oil

Seeds and nuts - flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, pistachio nuts, sunflower seeds, pine nuts

Meat - chicken, beef

For optimum heart health, the ratio between omega 6 fatty acids and omega 3 should be between 1:1 and 4:1. A practical example of what a 1:1 ratio means, for every 3 ounces of beef you eat, you would need to eat 3 ounces of tuna (I do not mean in the same meal!). The ratio for the typical American diet is 11:1 to 30:1. This poor ratio is linked with heart disease, among several other health issues.

Bottom Line:

For heart health, increase your intake of foods containing omega-3 fatty acids, while cutting back on omega-6 fatty acid sources. For example, switch from corn oil to canola oil, increase the number of meals you eat that contain fish each week, and grab walnuts instead of pistachios.

How To Apply A Rapid Weight Loss Plan And Get Results? - Allen Wang

Rapid weight loss is often a plan people start because they feel if they do not see fast results from their efforts they will give up, but the way we live our lives these days is also a problem when losing weight. Following your weight loss diet program to the letter is key to achieving the weight loss you want but many changes are needed, some of which are detailed below. Not everyone loses weight at the same speed because many aspects have to be factored into this equation; some of these are listed here:

*Obesity or weight problems that may run in the family
*Psychological stress
*Current mind frame

Being overweight affects each person in many different ways! Whilst the number of physical and mental effects on an overweight person is great, it is amazing how these can be turned around when a person starts to lose weight. It must be said that most rapid weight loss programs will require some form of emotional support from close friends or relatives; a good nutritious low-fat diet program and regular exercise will also be necessary too. Your chosen diet plan must be fairly flexible so it will suit your tastes but this should not be relied upon to do all the work for you; exercise such as walking, cycling, swimming etc. should be part of this regime.

It is important you use a rapid weight loss plan that works for your particular metabolism because everyone is different and some of these work well for some but not for others. Part of the beauty of weight loss plans is that they can be adjusted to suit the individual if the results aren't encouraging, plus, increasing the cardiovascular activity will help. Listen as the body speaks because each and everyone's body metabolism reacts differently to the various fast weight loss programs so try substituting one program for another to compensate for the body's reaction.

You may find that you are more comfortable walking than any other form of exercise; this is proven to be the best exercise and as muscles burn more calories than fat it's also best to put on a little muscle which will make you look good too. Many people who are dieting forget the importance of staying hydrated; rapid weight loss depends on flushing your system out so you must stay hydrated during the process, about 6 large glasses per day should be enough. Keep away from fried foods especially deep-fried as they contain a great amount of fat and whilst fish and chicken appear leaner than beef, this white meat can contain more fat than when beef is fried.

People on very low fat diets should grill the majority of their meals as much less fat is retained in the food if any at all. Some people believe you should give up eating carbohydrates but without them in your diet you will not have any energy to exercise and by definition lose weight. Using a weight loss plan like this will mean that if followed correctly then around a pound a day will be lost, depending on the individual but it must be said that failure to maintain this level of 1,000 to 1,500 calories per day will ensure the weight will be put back on.

Starfruit Vs Kidney. - HS

There has been controversy about the star fruit recently. One Malaysian citizen got comma after eating the star fruit and this news spread all over the country very fast.

Why is this happened? As we all know, all fruit bring benefits to our body and the doctors are also recommended it. Fruits are known contain vitamins and minerals that needed in our body.

In this case you would start have problem especially when you have kidney problem. The person who have kidney problem should reconsider it when they think about the star fruit.

Why?

Because there are some research about the star fruit and this fruit can possibly cause neurology complication like coma and death to the patient who have chronic kidney disease including the patient who undergo dialysis.

Kidney is very important organ for releasing the waste product out from the body. When this kidney malfunctioning, all the waste product will accumulate in the body and the only one way to overcome this problem is by using the dialysis or kidney replacement.

In this case, the star fruit may possibly have certain neurotoxin (the poison that can affect nervous system) and this substance only can be released in the body by kidney system. However the normal and healthy person who doesn't have kidney problem don't have to worry as long as your kidney can do its function normally.

Prevention is better than cure. Thus, avoid from eating star fruit frequently to make sure you won't get worse next time.

Eating Out And Losing Weight

One of the hardest things in the world to do is eat out at a restaurant when you are trying to lose weight. Losing weight is all about burning more calories than you consume and when you are not the one preparing the meal, you are often eating higher amounts of calories than you thought would be in a given serving. In order to stay strict with those calories, there are a few tricks to eating out and losing weight.

* Choosing a salad. The salad section of a menu can seem like the safest place to start. But, salads in a restaurant setting are not like the salads you prepare at home. These are often laden with extra calories from the bacon bits to the cheese, the tortilla strips to the dressing. Two tablespoons of blur cheese dressing alone contains 150 calories. If a salad is on your mind, choose the side salad with lemon juice and use this as a starter for the meal.

* Eating from the kids menu. The kids menu offers smaller versions of the adult menu. But, these choices are often larger than a traditional portion you would serve yourself at home. Kids menu options are also most often deep fried and full of the wrong kinds of fats. Staying away from the kids menu is a great choice whenever dining out and trying to lose weight.

* Choosing chicken. Chicken is a safe choice in many restaurants as long as two simple rules are followed. Do not choose the battered version and do not eat the entire serving. A serving of chicken should only be the size of a deck of cards. This can be added to the garden salad to make for a light and healthy salad while dining in a restaurant.

* Flavored tea. Many restaurants are now serving flavored teas as a part of their menus. These teas can be appealing and there are just tea, right? Wrong. Many of the mango, raspberry and strawberry teas are flavored with sugared syrups and can contain more calories than a can of sugared soda. Ask how the teas are flavored before ordering.

* Choosing low carb. Unless you are on a low carb diet, the low carb menu should be avoided at all costs. Losing weight by counting calories is about just that, counting calories. Low carb options will contain fewer carbs but more fat and calories than many other options on the menu.

* Soups. Soups are another no-no in many restaurants. This is especially true for creamed soups. If soup is a must, ask for the nutritional data on the soup before ordering. Then, choose the soup with the lowest calorie count. And, always remember, you do not have to finish the entire bowl.

Losing weight and eating in a restaurant can be accomplished easily and without starving for that burger next to you. If the meal out is a planned one, eating a snack high in fiber before heading off to the restaurant is the best choice. The fiber will keep you feeling full and you will be less likely to order that huge meal sure to bump you off the weight loss track.

Is Organic Worth It? - karen fairham

When you head to the grocery store, shopping for products like eggs, meat, fish, milk, and produce can be very tricky. Signs are posted everywhere labeling food as natural, organic, and a number of other things—but what’s the difference, really? Learning what specific names mean can help you decide if you should shell out extra money on a product of it is simply a marketing ploy.

Natural is a turn associated with a number of fruit and vegetable product. Typically, this is simple a marketing ploy to convince you to buy the product. After all, all fruits and vegetables are natural, right? Unless it’s a new kind of food that has been developed and processed, the product is natural. What you really probably want is organic. Organic foods are grown without chemical pesticides and fertilizers. There are two main benefits to organic foods. First, you are helping the environment because those chemicals are not being introduced into nature. Secondly, you are avoiding ingesting chemicals and are therefore healthy more healthy foods. However, organic products are usually more expensive. If you’re on a budget, skip over organic fruits and vegetables that you can peel, like oranges and bananas. After all, once you’ve discarded the peel, you’ve also discarded the chemicals. Instead, opt for organic items like apples, where you eat the peel. No matter what you buy, however, make sure that you rinse off the food when you get home.

Another tricky label you will see is “no hormones.” This is usually in regards to milk or meat products and is false, since all animals naturally produce hormones. Hormones are what helps an animal (even a human) regulate body organs, have young, and otherwise function. All meat products have hormones. What the labels really mean is that no hormones were unnaturally given to the animal, which is sometimes done to increase milk production. Regardless of hormones, however, the milk and meat is safe for a person and not a violation of an animal’s rights.

Lastly, a label on eggs and meat can indicate if the animal was caged or penned. This does not make a difference in the quality or nutritional value of the meat, but is simply a matter of animal rights. These products may be a bit more expensive, but if you want to make human decisions, that is the way to go. Reading the label and making healthy choices can sometimes be difficult, but learning how to do so can help you make the best choices for you diet.

8 Tips For Sensible Weight Loss.

Around 150 million Americans were overweight or obese in 2008. In the UK at least a third of the population is either overweight or seriously obese. More and more children are having their life expectancy reduced because of obesity. Obesity continues to be a serious problem and is predicted to reach epidemic levels by the year 2020.

Here are some diseases that you are likely to suffer from if you are carrying a lot of extra weight:


1. Heart disease- the biggest killer of all.
2. Stroke
3. Diabetes- too much sugar can cause problems.
4. Cancer
5. Arthritis- your joints can't take too much weight.
6. Hypertension

Losing weight helps to prevent and control these diseases.

The quick weight loss methods which have made their creators millions of dollars do not provide lasting results. They may help you lose weight in the short term but in the long term they're of no use. More often than not, dieting methods which involve dietary drinks, foods and supplement or pills do not work. They make their producers lots of money but do not really benefit you. I will, however, talk about these in other articles.

Lose weight healthily and change your life. You have to set realistic targets and not expect to lose a lot of pounds in a short time frame.

Here are 8 tips on how you can lose those unwanted pounds the healthy way:

1. Do not starve your self.

The key to a healthier way of losing weight is: Do not diet.

You may seem happy and feel that you are losing unwanted weight on your stomach and thighs by skipping meals. But remember that this will not last long. Your body cannot cope with having insufficient food to fuel the energy that you use up everyday.

If you get used to skipping one or two meals a day, your stored calories will be used up instead of the energy that should have been provided by your meals. So if you just eat one huge sandwich in one day, it will end going straight to your problem area , whether that's your stomach, your hips or your buttocks.

2. Start your day right.

Dieticians always say that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Have a healthy meal in the morning to jump-start your metabolism. Smoothies, fruit are really great. See my previous articles on superfoods to see exactly why.

3. Eat small, healthy meals frequently.

Five small snacks per day is better than three big meals. Eating more often and in smaller portions can help stop over eating. This will also increase your metabolism and make calories burn faster.

4. Decide on how much weight you want to lose.

Keep your target sensible. In the long run, it is virtually impossible for you to lose 30 pounds in 2 weeks ,that is unless you want to make yourself really ill ! Have a mindset that you want to eat healthy for the rest of your life.

Once you have decided on a weight loss plan or program, stick to it and make sure that you follow your own set of dieting rules.

5. Drink lots of water.

One of the ultimate superfoods water is an essential for a healthy diet.Your body needs sufficient water to burn fat and keep your cells hydrated and healthy.

6. Avoid too much sugar.

Plan your meals around lots of fruits and vegetables, some bread, rice or pasta for that carbo fix that you need, plus lean meat and protein rich-foods. Sweets, sodas and pastries should be an occasional treat only.

7. Watch your fat intake.

Fat is not the culprit to being overweight. You need this to keep your weight at the proper level.

Some fats are healthy. Olive, peanuts and canola oil have them, tuna, salmon and mackerel have omega-3 fats. They are great for the heart.

8. Exercise. One clear message here. Do not overdo it. Do not waste money on gym membership until you're confident enough to do so. Exercise everyday using everyday situations. If you're not going far, why take your car. Use these activities and other home chores if you don't want to go to the gym.. Make sure that you do this regularly and you will not even notice that you are already shedding pounds with these day to day activities.

It does not matter how much weight you plan or need to lose. What is important is that you set realistic goals for yourself.

Go slow. If you have already lost 5 or 6 pounds, give yourself a break then try to lose the next 5 pounds.

Eat healthy, drink lots of water, have enough sleep and exercise. Do this and you'll lose weight more easily and improve your health. Finally do not become obsessed with weighing yourself. Check the scales once a week- no more. Become obsessive and losing weight will just become a chore. Remember you're changing your lifestyle as well as your weight !

Million Dollar Smile - Franchis

Who wants to have a million dollar smile? Do you really find somebody saying No? That is the magic power of smile. So when you need to have a good smile for that first and foremost requirement would be beautiful lips. This would be especially for women, so if women have a beautiful smile with very attractive lips then it gives much more attractive look.

Earlier women used to apply lipsticks (infact some of them are still using) to make their lips attractive. But there are certain demerits in lipsticks which we will discuss later so there comes a new product called lipsense which overcomes all these demerits and give a women gorgeous look. So, now we will first talk about our product.

Lipsense is the product of Senegence with aloe, glycerin and Vitamin E as ingredients. Vitamin E is very good for cracks and makes no marks if there are any.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids May Help Our Brains - Golden

Studies have shown that fish oil may make significant improvements on the mental health of people. The active ingredients are needed for the brain to function properly and have a good overall health.

Fish oil is commonly known as Omega-3. It contains EPA or eicosapentaenoic acid and DHA or docosahexaenoic acid. The key stabilizing element in fish oil is EPA. Taking fish oil in supplement form may be healthier than consuming it through fish because all of the toxins of a fish are taken away when the fish oil liquid or capsules are created. Many people don’t eat enough fish or like it so supplementation is preferred.

If you decide to take a daily supplement of fish oil capsules or tablets then you should know how much is okay to take. Just like any other vitamin, if you take too much of it then you won’t receive a benefit from the supplement but it could cause problems. It is recommended that people take 1.5 to 3.5 grams of Omega-3 daily. You should take it with food also. Higher amounts of fish oil have shown to cause oxidative stress. Some doctors also recommend taking vitamin C and E along with Omega-3 to balance the benefits.

Through extensive research and studies, fish oil may be used to treat people suffering from disorders like bipolar, depression, diabetes, allergies, macular degeneration, and as a mood stabilizer. Omega-3 has may even help to have dramatic results for people suffering from severe depression.

In countries along coastlines where fish is primarily consumed it is proven they have lower rates of depression than places who don’t consume much fish at all. People suffering from disorders like schizophrenia and bipolar have also benefited from taking Omega-3 to help stabilize their moods and normalize them.

The primary reason the fish oil works so well with stabilizing the mood is because it is a fatty acid that the brain needs. The brain is primarily made up of fats and it needs the fatty acids to properly function. When the brain doesn’t have the appropriate fatty acids and vitamins it needs then things like depression and disorders occur in the brain. Omega-3 may help the brain function properly because it is believed it provides a stabilizing effect.

Fish oil through vitamins or eating plenty of fish and seafood is healthy for you. These supplements help create a stable mood and uplift your attitude and the way that you feel. People suffering from depression and other mood disorders may benefit from taking a daily dosage of fish oil. However, everyone should be sure they have the appropriate amount of fatty acids for normalizing the brain function.

Fish consumption and supplementation had become popular in recent years because of the research and even doctors recommending it.

Another positive benefit that may result in consuming omega 3’s is on ADHD/ADD to assist in concentration. It has been said that kids and adults suffering from this disorder may have less essential fatty acids than normal.

It is advised to always to work with your doctor about the appropriate medicine or alternative approach.

Colostrum, Transfer Factors And Immunity - Golden

Colostrum is known to create transfer factor in the body which in return helps build up the body’s immunity to remember certain illnesses.

Transfer factor is a theory that immunity information in the body can be transferred from cell to cell. A cell has the ability to teach the immune system to recognize bacteria and viruses that are harmful to the body. As this is the primary job of the immune system to recognize harmful bacteria and viruses and then fight them. The body has the ability to effectively defend against bacteria, fungus, and other diseases. The transfer factor molecules create a memory in the body of the past pathogens it has been exposed to, which is integral to maintain the integrity and effectiveness of the immune system.

Colostrum is produced from the mammary glands of all mammals late during pregnancy or directly after giving birth. It is high in carbohydrates, protein, and antibodies. It is also low in fat because it is difficult for newborns to digest fat because of their small digestive systems. It acts in delivering nutrients in a low volume but highly concentrated. There is also a mild laxative associated with it that helps a newborn pass their first stool and rid of the waste of dead red blood cells due to birth. Colostrum contains immunoglobulin assisting with the prevention of jaundice and it helps to create physical strength and build up the general immune system.

As colostrum helps build the body’s initial immunity it also builds the initial memory of the immune system. Transfer factors are made up of tiny molecules of protein produced by immune cells in the body called T cells. The transfer factors are what allow the immune system to remember the conditions for which the body has become immune to and established.

A good example of the way transfer factors work is like the chickenpox during childhood. When a child is infected and treated the body develops a memory of the illness. This memory prevents the body from being re-infected later in life. The body will have a transfer factor molecule specifically for chicken pox and this molecule is an exact blueprint of what the disease looks like. This allows the body to immediately recognize and respond to any type of re-infection or exposure.

Scientists have begun working on creating additional transfer factor for human consumption in an effort to strengthen immune systems even further. The way they are doing this is by working with colostrum from cows. This is because a healthy cow has the ability to produce millions of different transfer factors. However, when a cow is exposed to a pathogen then it produces another transfer factor creating a blueprint of the specific virus.

It is said that transfer factors can cross different mammal lines. For instance, a human can be given a cow’s transfer factors. If these transfer factors have created blueprints of different pathogens then the human will immediately have the immunity to those pathogens as if they were already exposed themselves.

Colostrum is responsible for building the body’s initial transfer factor and immune system. By creating transfer factors in other mammals, scientists are able to give these to humans building stronger immune systems in humans.

Supplements For Joint Pain

We all know the importance of mineral and vitamins in our body. Body joint movements and healthy joint functions are very important aspects. We all want to take proper care of them. There are a number of essential vitamins that the body needs to function properly and it is possible to take these in the form of a vitamin supplement. The majority of people do not have a balanced diet and they may be lacking in certain vitamins which means that they require a vitamin supplement to ensure that they do not have a deficiency of an essential vitamin. Certain vitamins are absolutely essential for the joint health. A health practitioner is the best person to give advice on any vitamin supplement that a person should take. It is important to seek professional advice before taking any vitamin supplement. This is because there are some vitamins that can be toxic if too much is consumed and a vitamin supplement may not be appropriate if there is enough of the vitamin already in the food a person eats.

Joint pain is a big problem especially in America. The acceptance of joint support products by consumers has been increasing due to their proven effectiveness, as well as their ability to promote and maintain joint health with little or no side effects. Currently joint pain, disability and restricted mobility affect more than 40 million Americans. As the U.S. population ages, it is expected that this number will double within the next decade. These symptoms, once considered an unavoidable consequence of aging, are now being successfully treated by joint support products. There are various categories of products and usually they contain glucosamine, MSM etc. which help in covering the damage. It's also advisable for the joint pain sufferers to supplement their diet with minerals and vitamins supplements. Some categories of people may require more types of vitamin supplement than others. Vegetarians are often deficient in certain vitamins that are only found in animal products, for example, and a vitamin supplement is the ideal solution to this problem. Vegetarians do need to be aware that some vitamin supplement manufacturing processes involve animal products and it is important for them to read the labels. A large number of synthetic vitamin supplement products are available which will enable a vegetarian to take them without contravening their dietary beliefs or needs.


Children may sometimes show symptoms of vitamin deficiencies. Contrary to the popular belief many younger people can also suffer form joint pain. They will often need a vitamin supplement, especially if they show any symptoms of joint pain. Many young people do not eat a sufficient variety of foods in their early years and a vitamin supplement can help compensate for this natural deficiency. Breast feeding for children has long been recommended as a source of all the essential nutrients but women who choose not to or are unable to bottle feed may be concerned as to whether their baby needs a vitamin supplement. The large majority of baby milk formulas contain additional vitamins to prevent the need for a vitamin supplement to be given. It is important to discuss any concerns over the need for a baby or child to take a vitamin supplement with a health professional to ensure that the correct solution is found.

Vitamins are not only for those suffering from joint pains. Elderly people or those suffering from certain diseases or illnesses are other groups of people that may need to take a vitamin supplement. The body may often need a vitamin supplement to compensate for a person not being able to consume the recommended daily allowance of certain vitamins through their normal diet.

Is The Herb Damiana For Men Or Women? - Darrell Miller

Damiana can be used by both men and women. It is known to have restorative effects on reproductive organs in both sexes.

Uses:

For men, Damiana is known to raise levels of testosterone. It is also helpful in treating premature ejaculation and impotence. For women, it helps to induce delayed menstrual periods and ease the symptoms of painful menstruation. It also treats the headaches women sometimes get due to menstruation.

This herb has been widely advertised and used in Mexico as an aphrodisiac. The ancient Mayans used it as a sexual stimulant and people in Central America still use it in this way today. This use is controversial due to lack of scientific evidence to support the claim.

One study found some of the plant's compounds to be similar to those found in progesterone. More than 150 herbs have been tested for their ability to bind with the progesterone and estrogen receptors found in breast cancer cells. Damiana was one of the highest progesterone-binding herbs tested.

The herbal properties of Damiana have a life enhancing and stimulating effect on the body and mind. The herb works well on nervous exhaustion and to restore the body after periods of high stress.

Other Uses:

Damiana's stimulating action is considered very valuable to people who suffer from mild depression. Herbalists will typically recommend remedies that contain this herb. Damiana is very strong and aromatic, and has a slightly bitter taste. It can be found in different forms such as capsule, liquid extract and tea. Its leaves are used as a substitute for tea leaves in some countries. In other countries, it is used as flavoring in a variety of liqueurs.

Damiana acts as an antiseptic and tonic for the body. It is also a restorative agent for nervous system functions. Damiana is used for other conditions as well, although no scientific proof of its effectiveness exists. These conditions include:

* Asthma
* Anxiety
* Depression
* Headache
* Menstrual disorders

Damiana has been known to cause mild indigestion for some users. It also contains a compound called arbutin, which, in the urinary tract, converts into the chemical hydroquinone. Larger amounts can cause serious side effects such as:

* Convulsions
* Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)
* Nausea
* Vomiting
* Possible collapse and death

A maximum safe dosage of Damiana has not yet been determined. Also, the safety of using this herb has not been established in children or pregnant and nursing women. People with liver or kidney disease should use extra caution because their ability to safely use this herb is unknown as well.

In people using higher doses of Damiana, it is believed that they experience a mild euphoric sensation. In some cases, consumption of Damiana leaves has been known to act as a mild laxative. The more leaves consumed, the more prominent the laxative effect.

Damiana is native to parts of southern California and the Gulf of Mexico. It can also be found growing wild in some areas of the northern Caribbean Islands and Namibia. It is widely cultivated in these areas. Its preferred habitat has a hot and humid climate. It flowers in the summer and this is when the leaves are harvested. The leaves of the Damiana plant are the only part used for cultivation.

The herb can be taken in the form of a tea. Some people even smoke it like tobacco. The herb will bring about a relaxed state of mind for the user. It is said to induce a subtle high if smoked.

Damiana possesses many properties that are useful to both men and women. Research continues in an attempt to either prove or disprove claims of its benefits to humans.

How To Get Fit And Build A World Class Physique - J.P. Davis

Being in great shape is something that is grossly underestimated in today’s society and certainly something that can have a massive impact on your overall quality of life. Unfortunately, many of us get busy with work and day to day activities that we don’t make regular exercise a priority.

There are many ways to get fit, including walking, jogging and playing sports. However, the best way to build a great physique and get into world class shape is with an exercise plan.

Now, when most people hear “weight lifting” and “cardio” they immediately think of an expensive gym membership. Not only are gyms expensive, they’re also time consuming (driving to and from the gym to workout) and can be really intimidating to someone who is just starting out and may be insecure about their body.

A great alternative to going to the gym is following a home fitness program. There are programs and systems available which can whip you into shape without ever having to leave the house. These programs are extremely easy to follow and many of them are available in video format.

Working out out at home can be a fantastic way to get into shape and is excellent if you prefer a more private setting, however it’s not without downsides. The biggest problem with home exercise and fitness programs is motivation -- you have to keep yourself motivated and learn to block out all of the distractions that may pop up during your workout time.

If your goal is to improve your health this year and you’ve decided that the time to make a lifestyle change is now, I encourage you to consider a home fitness plan. As long as you can maintain the desire and motivation to exercise each day, you’ll find that working out at home is convenient and extremely effective with the right program.

Choosing the Right MLM Company is the Correct Step to Success! - Dale Moreau

Are you currently in an MLM Company in which you are not making enough money? Or, are you looking for that special MLM Company with which you could gladly be associated? Have you found the MLM Company that gives complete satisfaction to you?

If you have found that company, I'm happy for you. If not then it's time to find the right one for you. How do you go about in finding the right MLM Company that represents success?

Let me ask you something: If an MLM Company came around and offered you passion over money, would you join? Most would not but it is to their detriment. The company that offers passion first and money second will win. This is not to discount money for that too is important.

Why would a company of passion over money win? Human nature is value centered first in something of passion before being centered in money. It's true. Find a company with passion and a good compensation plan and you have the first step to success.

In finding the right MLM Company, find a company which has consumable products rather than one which deals with technology, service or goods which can only be bought once or will devalue in price. Consumable products guarantee a residual income.

Make sure to look at the compensation plan. Most MLM Companies incorporate one of four plans: binary, uni-level, matrix or breakaway. One other plan is better than all of them and used by only one MLM Company and that is the Quad-plan which takes the best of the other four and incorporates them and throws out the worst of the four major compensation plans.

Does Maitake Mushroom Boost The Immune System? - Darrell Miller

Medical practices treat the symptoms of disease. They do not prevent the illness itself. Alternative medicine offers a complement to the traditional methods. More and more physicians are realizing this and responding to it in their own practices.

It is becoming more common for physicians to enlist the aid of the natural world in treating their patients. Often, along with traditional medicine, doctors will suggest using a natural product in conjunction with a prescription. One such natural healer is the mushroom.

The Maitake and Other Mushrooms

Mushrooms come in many different varieties and species. They contain a large number of compounds that offer potent healing properties. One of the most useful species of healing mushrooms being recognized for its effectiveness is the maitake mushroom. This mushroom is being tested for its ability to enhance the production of infection-fighting cells in the human body.

Mushrooms are found in wooded areas all over the world and cultivated by both professionals and amateur collectors. If you wish to harvest your own mushrooms, it is vital to your health and safety that you research what each species looks like. Some mushrooms are poisonous to the point of being life-threatening.

These spongy fungal foods are used to make certain immune system enhancing extracts, either alone or in combination with other members of the healing mushroom family.

Mushrooms contain compounds known as alpha and beta glucans. These glucan phytonutrients are actually long-chain polysaccharide molecules. They consist of millions of glucose molecules that are chemically bound to each other.

The beta-glucan compound has been found to have great abilities to enhance the function of the human immune system. Lab studies are finding that the beta-glucans activate production of T-cells and NK (natural killer) cells. These are the cells that fight viral and bacterial infection and, in some cases, even cancer.

A healthy immune system is the only sure way for a human being to remain disease free. When the body’s immune system is not in optimal shape, infections attacking the body are much more serious and can even be life threatening.

The Different Healing Mushrooms

There are many different mushrooms that are studied and used for their medicinal properties. Of the many species of mushrooms, the most common and most used by alternative medicinal healers are:

* Maitake. The maitake mushroom can be found growing on oak trees all over the world. The maitake mushroom is best known for its ability to stimulate the production of T-cells in the blood.

* Shitake. The shitake mushroom is the best known and most widely used as an immune system booster.

* Cordyceps. The extract from the cordyceps mushroom has proven to be effective in fighting various forms of bacteria. It is also known to increase physical stamina. The sports world took notice of the possible benefits of cordyceps mushrooms in 1993 when nine women who were taking cordyceps reportedly broke world records at the Chinese National Games.

* Reishi. This mushroom has been used by the Chinese for thousands of years as an immune system enhancer.

Safety and Effectiveness

A consumer warning states that consumers should be aware of false advertising of mushroom extracts. Many beta-glucan products on the market are not 100% pure. A large number of them only contain about 1% beta-glucan. It is wise to always speak with a trained and knowledgeable store employee before purchasing any product you are unfamiliar with. It is also important that you read the labels of any product you are considering purchasing.

Although not widely recognized yet, the maitake mushroom is fast becoming a leader in the mushroom world for its immune boosting properties. Physicians and consumers are becoming more open to and educated about the medicinal uses of mushrooms. They are in abundant supply all over the world and are waiting to be discovered.

Know Your Skin Type - Gree Lya

Basically, there are four common skin types: oily, dry, combination, and normal. The way your skin reacts and behaves classifies the type of skin you have. Skin types react in different ways to creams and/or lotions, environment, and weather. The skin on your face is the great point to categorize type of your skin.

Here are four skin types that you should know:

1. Oily Skin
Skin may look oily, sallow, and coarse; it has large pores and tends to have pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. The texture of skin is thick; the touch is often sticky. It is usually youthful-looking due to the presence of oil on the skin. Besides that, within hours of cleansing the oiliness will reappear and makeup is usually absorbed quickly. Often, individuals with this skin type have a propensity to develop acne in their teen and middle years.

2. Dry Skin
This skin type has a transparent looking and fine texture. It may lack natural oils, may look rather flaky with small pores, blackheads and blemishes. It feels particularly dry after cleansing and may have whiteheads around the eyes and dry patches. Without sufficient moisture, this skin type can simply become chapped. It’s more likely to become wrinkly than other types.

3. Combination Skin
This type can be characterized as oily on the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin) and the rest of the face, cheeks and around the eye, is dry. However, to restore both areas to balance, they need a separate cleansing routine.

4. Normal skin
If this is your skin type you are very lucky, because less than 20% of women have this skin type. It is the "healthy" type of skin. It’s smooth, soft, and supple; not too dry, not too oily, characterized by few blemishes, and has a nice glow. Nevertheless, this doesn’t mean that you don’t have to take care of it.

The first step just before choosing a skin care routine that will make you look beauty is knowing you skin type. Therefore, I want to give you simple tips how to know what type of skin you have exactly:

1. Cleanse your face, and wait for an hour, without applying any skin care product to it.
2. After that, take a tissue and wipe each of the following areas of your face: your forehead, nose, chin, and cheeks.

If oil appears on the tissue, then you have oily skin. But, if skin particles can be seen on your skin, or remain on the tissue, then you have dry skin. Other than that, If you see oil in some areas (T-zone: forehead, nose and chin), and none in others, then naturally you have combination skin. And, if you don’t find oily residue or flake is left on the skin, you have normal skin.

One thing that you should keep in mind, cleansing and moisturizing twice a day is an important thing of having attractive and healthy skin, regardless of what type of skin you have. For maximum results, select products that are intended for your particular skin type.

Tips To Treat Your Oily Skin - Gree Lya

Oily skin is a result of excessive production of sebum that is an oily secretion. It usually happens to individuals who have very active sebaceous glands. The excess oil on the skin makes it hard to inhibit clogging of the pores, as a consequence in accumulation of dead cells and hence formation of acne or pimples. Your looks can be spoilt because of it. Therefore, it is important to follow a good skin care routine to have a smooth, flawless, and glowing skin. There are a few factors that cause oily skin:

• Hormone levels
• Diet
• Cosmetics
• Heredity
• Pregnancy
• Birth control pills
• Humidity and very hot weather

Taking care of oily skin properly is a tricky process that needs a balance between eliminating adequate of the excessive oil to get rid of the problem without making a new one by eliminating too much and causing dry skin.

Here are some tips how to treat your oily skin and restore fresh-faced balance, clean, and shiny to your skin:

1. Washing with Warm, not Hot Water
It is essential to remove the excessive oils but not to remove them all. The soap that used with hot water will work easier to remove the oil and dirt from your face and accelerate the whole process and may direct to dry skin and flaking. Scrub your face gently should be sufficient to get rid of your oily skin problem without causing a dry skin problem in the process. Avoid scrubbing it too hard, as this can irritate the skin.

2. Use Mild Soap
One washing per day with a mild soap should be adequate to get rid of the excessive oils while leaving enough behind to keep moisture and protect skin. Keep away from any soap that contain alcohol or harsh soaps to strip away oil. Your glands will instinctively replenish lost oil and will increase their oil production. This could create more health problems than existed with the oily skin. Try to get soap with all-natural ingredients such as olive, almond, or even avocado oil. All have deep-penetrating qualities that will refill the skin and help retain moisture.

3. Moisturizer and Sunscreen
Choose non-acnegenic or non-comedogenic products instead, that are less likely to block your pores. You also can use an oil-free sunscreen with a minimum SPF (Sun Protection Factor) of 15 when exposed to the sun. But, keep away from creamy moisturizers and sunscreens. Make sure they are oil free.

5. Oil-Free Makeup and Facial Product
Choose powder-based products, or products particularly intended for oily skin, such as containing acne medication. These will work to remove the excessive oil and treat your pores simultaneously. But before applying makeup, use an antiseptic day cream with active ingredients that reduce sebaceous secretions. Don't use a lot of liquid-based foundation, eye-shadow, blush, or concealer. In addition, if you want to sleep while there is still makeup on your skin, don’t forget to remove it. Another reason why pores are blocked is the interaction of oil on the skin and chemicals in makeup.

6. Avoid Stress
There is certainly a correlation between oily skin and stress. Androgens generate a lot more oil when you are stressed, busy, or anxious which unavoidably leads to oily skin. So always take the time to relax.

7. Natural Remedy
A combination of cucumber juice with limejuice is an excellent remedy that should be applied on your skin half an hour before having a bath. You also may add a few drops of eau de cologne to the combination. This combination prevents development of acne and gets rid of excess oil from the skin.

Coffee enema detoxification is a natural way of detoxifying the body and it is mostly regarded to be general in action that is it cleanses the body of all forms of toxins. The procedure works by attracting charged toxic substances in the body and then drawing them out into the water. Apparently this method might only be effective in getting rid of charged toxins in the body which are mostly metals. The presence of toxic substances has been shown to be the root cause of most diseases and getting rid of these toxins in our body system is bound to ensure long lasting health.

The bloodstream is probably the most heavily-laden system in the body when it comes to toxins. Once the liver detoxification has been accomplished it is time to start removing the toxins from the blood and the body. We use another tea formulated for just that purpose. This ancient formula comes from an Indian tribe in Canada. Plant fats would include nuts avocados and olives. Oils such as olive oil canola oil and peanut oil are better choices than fats that come from animal sources such as butter lard or bacon grease. Unless you live in the middle of the jungle you breathe only pure air eat only organic foods when you're hungry; and that those foods provide the exact nutritional needs of your body; that you never experience any stress worry or anxiety and you exercise every single day.

Most of us eat far less fiber than we need and consume far more sugar, refined flour, saturated fats, and protein than we should. In this toxic era, we need fiber more than ever, to help us neutralize the toxins and scrub them out of our system. A diet rich in whole grains, legumes, fruits, and fresh vegetables offers us plenty of fiberbut how many of us eat that way? We're more likely to consume fatty, sugary, and floury foods or to go on the low-carb, low-fiber diets like Atkins and South Beach. Previous generations of Americans ate twenty to thirty grams of fiber per day. Our current average has dropped to less than twelve. So the food we eat sits in our colons for weeks, months, even years, where it slowly putrefies, bloating our stomachs and poisoning our bodies. Our poor, overloaded livers are supposed to detoxify our bodies, but they can't keep up with this toxic challenge. They do the best they can, but how can they properly metabolize fat when they're assaulted by this daily dose of toxins? Once again, we gain weight. This actually happened on April 26 1986 in Chernobyl Ukraine. Don't just sweep the floor and hope that nobody will look at the ceiling or inside the cupboards.

Detox With Tea:
Good health is not that difficult to achieve. You just have to keep your body healthy inside and out. while some focus their attention on your liver blood or skin. There are a few levels of detoxification ranging from beginner to advanced. The beginner can do a simple one or two day fast on fresh vegetable juice and water once a month supplementing with a Toxin Absorber made of bentonite clay apple pectin and psyllium seed which draw out and eliminate toxins from your intestines. Exercise will also help. Exercising will make the body sweat, speeding up the elimination of toxic wastes. No need to run a marathon, do what you enjoy but do it regularly. When we detox what we are trying to do is stop cramming toxins into our body which in turn allows the body to start booting out the accumulated junk.This is done through our sweat feces and urine. Toxins such as lead mercury and the side effects of aspartame's by-products of formic acid and formaldehyde block nutrients from getting into normal body cells in the same fashion a lead shield blocks radiation during an x-ray.
