Due to mass marketing efforts by the food conglomerates, compounded by misinformation by conventional healthcare systems and their affiliates whose main interest is profit, it’s difficult to differentiate the fine line between life-giving, nutrient- dense food and understandard, devitalized junk.

It’s becoming more and more difficult to obtain clean, wholesome food any more as the general public has been deceived into believing that we “need” fast, processed junk loaded with preservatives, additives, coloring, flavoring, hormones, and pesticides. It’s been estimated that each and every American consumes approximately 50 lbs. of additives a year. Is it a wonder that degenerative diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, etc…are escalating proportionately? Is it a surprise that many of our children are diagnosed with ADD/ADHD and other biochemical derangements that are devastating to their families and ultimately, to society? Instead of correcting the core of the problem, mainly nutritional deficiencies, we perpetual and compound the situation by medicating our children and render them doped-up zombies devoid of their sparkle and zest. What have we done to our children? What have we done to ourselves as a species? How can we claim to nurture and protect our young while giving them food and water laced with chemicals, while slowly destroying their delicate immune system with pus and heavy metals from vaccines, while implanting mercury, a known neurotoxin in their teeth in the form of amalgam (silver) fillings. This is not what nature intended. Why do we persist in destroying the very thing that nourishes and sustains us? We’ve already seen the ramifications of our thoughtlessness. How much longer can we claim ignorance? The writing’s already on the wall. We think we are untouched because some of us are fortunate enough to have eluded illness thus far, but with cancer striking 1 in 3, heart disease taking more than 480,000 lives per year, countless people subsisting with crippling pain and deformity, what makes us the exception? Just because we have not yet experienced deep-seated pain with the loss of a spouse, child, parent, or friend, can we claim immunity? The first sign of a heart attack may be death. The first symptom from advanced cancer might be mere fatigue. We can no longer claim ignorance. Regardless of what the disease is called, its root cause is still deficiency and toxicity. The typical conventional methods of cut (surgery), burn (radiation), and poison (medication) has little effect as it does not address these issues. Mortality statistics associated with these barbaric methods confirms this. Some are able to buy a little more time at the expense of quality of life. What’s the point?

Fortunately, nature is forgiving and our bodies are wonderfully and powerfully created. Unless it has reached a point of no return, our bodies are capable of regeneration if given the opportunity. The only sure way of achieving this is by going back to nature, providing it with the proper nutrients while efficiently eliminating built-up toxins and debris. How do we do this?

This is makes Green Tea special?
The Chinese have known about the medicinal health benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression.

It’s a tall list, and the evidence accumulating from scientific research is rapidly attracting the attention of health practitioners and the public eye.

In traditional Chinese culture, the ubiquitous statement regarding the health benefits of oolong green tea is that it “improves digestion”. And in the holistic understanding of Chinese medicine, this statement could include most of the factors listed above. Any long-term tea drinker will tell you from experience that drinking tea improves the quality of one’s life on many levels. Conduct your own research to see personally how tea can enrich your life and which green tea health benefits appear for you.

Calcium is needed for the myriad functions that go far beyond bone strength – from heart regulation to hormone secretion.

Recent research also seems to suggest that dieters taking a daily calcium supplement may experience up to six times greater weight loss than those who don’t.

This is thought to be because low levels of calcium, such as those you might potentially experience on a diet because you’ve cut out certain foods, may stimulate hunger pangs – the body’s way of trying to get you to ingest more of this valuable mineral.

Because the human body can absorb only 600mg of calcium at one time, it is important to split your daily dose into two.

Choose a calcium citrate product that’s combined with vitamin D and magnesium for improved absorption.

Many people have tried setting goals in their life, but unfortunately most never truly achieve those goals, or at best only come close. Well formed outcomes may help you to refine your goals. Based in neuro-linguistic programming theory NLP teaches you how to have well-formed-outcomes rather than basic goals, as goals are just that a goal, whereas an outcome is the actual outcome of having achieved that goal.

Suppose in the past you may have said something like “I want to loose ten pounds”, to succeed you’ll need to have more robust goals and be able to imagine how you will feel when you loose the ten pounds . By having well formed outcomes in your life you can create a true future vision.

If there is any area in your life, whether it is business or personal, which you want to change for the better, creating well formed outcomes will motivate you to sense it in much broader terms such as – sight, sounds and feelings. Begin your journey by using the Well Formed Worksheet to help you begin mapping out more wholistic goals.

I am sure you have been following along as our new President tries to fix our ailing economy. But have you been paying attention to what some of the States want to do?

They are hurting jst as much as everyone else. There are a lot of states, if not all, that are having to cut budgets and are coming across shortfalls. The chances are that any tax breaks we get from the federal government are going to be offset by higher taxes by the states.

The one that really caught my attention is the one they call the ‘obesity tax’. It is called that because there are some states that want to tax those items that are contributing to obesity. The State of Florida is looking at taxing all non-diet soft drinks.

I don’t know about you but I don’t need anymore taxes, especially on food. Luckily, I don’t drink soft drinks. Most people shouldn’t.

My tip to you this week will not only help your waist line but also your pocket book. Drink more water. Yes. It is that simple. Our bodies were made to drink a lot of water, not all of these sugary drinks. That is especially true during the hotter months. The sugar drinks will not rehydrate your body the way it needs to be.

Definetly stay away from sports drinks. They are made for athletes or people who work out intensly for more than an hour at one time. My son and I drink it when we train for soccer but that is because we will spend from 2 to 5 hours training in 75 to 85 degree weather. It is a myth that anyone who sweats should drink it.
