ABC Nutrition Tips

The ABC’s of nutrition is a brief glimpse into some basic foundations of a confusing area of health. The first area and most important area of health that needs to be addressed is oxygen. It is a well known fact that you can live for a month or so without food, a week or so without water but without air you die in minutes. It is also a well known fact that most disease including cancer and others cannot survive in an oxygen rich environment.



More energy, clearer thinking and an overall sense of well being are experienced when the body is saturated with oxygen. It therefore stands to reason that the more oxygen you can get into your body the better it will be for your overall health. One of the easiest ways to do this is through deep breathing, if you spend 10 minutes or so per day breathing deeply you will assist your body in eliminating toxins, increase energy and dramatically reduces the incidences of headaches.



Since it is not always easy to remember to breathe deeply you may want to consider investing in a machine like the “Chi Machine” also known as an effortless aerobic exerciser. It not only assists you in oxygenating your cells but also increases the energy flow throughout your body. 15 minutes on this machine with you lying flat on your back is the equivalent of 90 minutes of aerobic exercise!

The next element crucial to your health is water. Your body is over 70% water. Water is used to move nutrients throughout your body and to purge and eliminate toxins. There are a number of ways to get good water into your body but in general I suggest you consider a good water filter like one offered by aquaspace.com and you may also want to consider replacing bottled waters which have been known to have many contaminants with a portable water bottle filter from http://www.seychelle.com/



If you drink at least one ounce per half pound of body weight daily (ex: you weigh 180 you drink 80 ounces of water daily) you will successfully hydrate your body to eliminate toxins properly and adequately move nutrients through the body. The third element in the foundation of good health is live organic whole food nutrition. This insures the body is optimally fed physically as well as energetically.



The food you put into your body has attributes that will either add to your life force or take away. The closer you can get to unprocessed, live foods the better. It is becoming increasingly apparent that no matter how much live organic whole foods we consume we are still NOT getting proper nutrition because of the lack of nutrients in our soils.



There are a number of good companies with good products online that offer organic wholefoods. One in particular stands out is called wholefood farmacy they make consuming organic wholefoods convenient and palatable through a number of snacks and farinas. There produce is sourced from some of the few places left in the country where the soil does have a considerable amount of nutrients. I have been quite pleased with their snacks and personal care products. Have A Great Day!

7 Health Tips You Can Use

1. Sleep RightToo much sleep, or not enough of it, can kill you. A British study found that getting more than 9 hours of sack time a night, or less than 6, doubles your risk of an early death from any cause. Aim for 7 to 8 hours a night.

2. Drink wine, to get leanPolyphenols, the compounds found in red wine, help your body block fat absorption, an Israeli study found. Red-wine marinades work, too.

3. Put in your contact lenses after you-showerSoaping up while wearing your contacts can expose your eyes to infection-causing waterborne microbes, say University of Illinois at Chicago researchers.

4. Reduce Heart Disease Risk With A Simple TestAn American Journal of Medicine study found that a mildly underactive thyroid can boost your heart-disease risk by 65 percent. A quick blood test can assess your level of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH).

5. Recline To relieve stress Parking your torso at a 90-degree angle strains your spine, say Scottish and Canadian researchers. Instead, give your chair the La-Z-Boy treatment and recline the seat back slightly. The ideal angle is 45 degrees off vertical.

6. Steam your broccoliItalian researchers recently discovered that steaming broccoli increases its concentration of glucosinolates (compounds found to fight cancer) by 30 percent. Boiling actually lowers the levels.

7. Stretch it out Genes in your body linked to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity can be "turned on" if you sit for hours on end, reports a study in Diabetes. Hit the "off" button by taking hourly laps during TV, book, and Web sessions. As a bonus tip stay away form whole food vitamin supplements and consume organic whole food snacks instead.

Emf Protection For Superior Health

“Without your health all the money in the world is useless!” Today I want to cover just s few key to simplify a few things for you. There are two primary causes of sickness and disease which are Toxicity and Nutritional Deficiency. Most people are becoming aware of the fact that the ideal way for us to feed our bodies is through organic whole food nutrition with the life force intact. What most people are NOT aware of is another battle we face on a daily basis. I am speaking of the negative effects of toxins in our environment which lead to compromised immune systems that ultimately lead us to being susceptible to sickness and disease.

One of the least talked about toxins are the electrical elements that cause chaos to our bodies but are invisible to the naked eye. These things include radiation and microwaves as well as the EMF (Electro Magnetic Frequencies). Recent studies have shown that cell phone radiation is linked to an increasing number of Tumors in high cell phone use people. The tumors are showing up in almost the exact position of the phone on the brain when using it.

There have been studies that show even holding the phone over a foot away from your ear when talking will not stop the body from experiencing virtual immune shut down after just minutes of use. Many people are also not aware that even when the cell phone is off they are receiving harmful waves that are damaging the body’s immune system. Add this to the electrical toxicity as a result of your computer, the electrical outlets in your walls, your microwave etc. Here is an example of how serious the problem is.

The National Council On Radiation states that when the human body is exposed to just 2 Milligauss, of radiation degeneration begins and the immune system basically shuts down and becomes susceptible to sickness and disease. Milligauss is a measure of radiation. Your computer screen puts off 5 Milligauss of Electro Magnetic Radiation, more than double the level harm begins to happen. Your hair drier produces about 25 Milligauss of Electro Magnetic Radiation. Microwave ovens produce 100 Milligauss of Electromagnetic Radiation so even if you are in the vicinity of a microwave when it is on you are in harms way.A kitchen blender produces 250 Milligauss of Electromagnetic Radiation. Flying in an airplane exposes you to 50 Milligauss of Electromagnetic Radiation.

This is just the tip of the iceberg. Imagine how much you are exposed to in a building or coffee shop using wireless internet etc. The bottom line is maintaining optimal health is about more than simply eating right and exercising.

There is a solution to this problem which is growing at a dramatic rate since technology is continually developing. Rather than attempt to explain things here I am going to encourage you to dial 641 715-3440 PIN 125637. You will be educated about the problem and a unique little known solution that does not require you to purchase nutritional wonder products or pay monthly fees or anything like that. I have been using the technology for a few years and have been astounded at the results. If you want to learn more visit emf protection for more information

To Juice Or Not To Juice?

In today’s society there has been a lot of attention given to the benefits of consuming organic whole foods and Juicing them to benefit from the vast array of phytonutrients. While this is a great alternative to the sugar laden, stimulant filled energy drinks and so called functional beverages there are a few things you need to know.

1) Even when you buy organic the whole foods are picked at a time where their shelf life will be preserved and not the peak of their nutritional capacity.

2) Soil in the U.S has been depleted of vital nutrients for decades. This means there are very little nutrients in the produce now being harvested. You need more than 5 times the produce today to get even a small fraction of the nutrition that was present in one unit of the same produce 100 years ago!

3) Most juicers destroy the live enzyme content and many of the phytonutrients through the juicing process and from the high heat of the motor. So if juicing has these negatives is there a better solution?

You bet there is. A second generation organic farmer by the name of Uri Lebaron patented process called “instafresh” that takes live wholefoods picked at the peak of their nutritional capacity, juiced within 5 hours of picking and low temperature dried to a powder in less than 30 seconds at less than 100 degrees! This preserves the nutritional integrity and actually provides more live nutrition in a powdered form when you simply add water than juicing 5-15 pounds of organic produce!

The best part is that the product tastes great! The product I have been enjoying for years is called "Live" and is sold by Nuriche . I highly encourage you to consider the Live product instead of juicing or one of the over priced nutrient deficient whole food vitamins on the market.

Stop Stress Headaches Naturally

Before you attempt to find a way to stop a stress headache you needto make sure you actually have a stress headache. A headache may becaused by a number of different factors including but not limited tostress. It is important to distinquish between the causes of a headache because the procedure, technique or relief of a specific type ofheadache may not relieve another.
Some of the most common causes of headaches are.
Allergic reactions Bright lights, loud noises, and certain odors or perfumes lack of water Changes in sleep patterns Smoking or exposure to smoke Skipping meals Alcohol Menstrual cycle fluctuations, birth control pills Foods containing tyramine (red wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs, and some beans), monosodium glutamate (MSG), or nitrates (like bacon, hot dogs, and salami) Other foods such as chocolate, nuts, peanut butter, avocado, banana, citrus, onions, dairy products, and fermented or pickled foods.


While it may be plain to see that a headache caused by lack of water can generally easily becured by drinking a glass or so of clean fresh water. A headache caused because of a skippedmeal can easily be cured by eating something. If however your headache is truly caused by stress the relief may not be an easy thing to discover. Lets take a look at what stress isand how the body reacts to it to further assist us in identifying a stress headache.



Dictionary.com gives us 3 aspects of a definition of stress crucial to our understanding of a stress headache. They are:



A) Physiology. a specific response by the body to a stimulus, as fear or pain, that disturbs or interferes with the normal physiological equilibrium of an organism.

B) Physical, mental, or emotional strain or tension: Worry over his job and his wife's health put him under a great stress.

C) A situation, occurrence, or factor causing this: The stress of being trapped in the elevator gave him a pounding headache.


Based upon these definitions we can ascertain that a stress headache is generally one that manifests itselfwhen a stressful situation emerges or has been encountered and pondered over a period of time. A stress headache can generally be relived when the situation causing the stress has resolved itself or the individual removes themself from the stressful environment, however this may not always do the trick.



Many people find themselves in a constant state of stress due to the work place, financial or social elements or simply a result of an intense need to complete a project. In this case the best way to relieve a stress headache is to supplement with an organic whole food B vitamin laden tonic. The problem is that most B vitamin products will NOT do the trick because they are synthetic (man made) and not in a format the body can truly recognize and utilize.



In my opinion one of the best options is a product that has organic B vitamins and the adaptogenic herps Rhodiola rosea and Eleuthero Root. These ingredients have been proven in numerous scientific studies to have anti-stress effects. The only formulation I would recommend would be a formulation called DeStressex developed by Dr. Paul Yanick the founder and developer of the Quantum Foods and Quantum Nutrition Movement. DeStressex is a long term solution as well as a short term solution and will provide a number of other benefits aside from stress relief.
