2. EAT LIVE WHOLE FOODS
Plant Protein Shown to be Better than Animal Protein for Building Muscle! New research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that both plant-based protein and meat build muscle equally well however because plant-protein comes with less 'baggage' in the form of harmful components it's the more beneficial protein source to use. A study published last week in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that dietary protein derived from plant sources built muscle just as well as protein from meat sources. However, meat also comes with additional components that are harmful to our health, including antibiotic residue, hormones, saturated fat, trans-fats, endotoxins, cholesterol, Neu5Gc, heterocyclic amines and contaminants such as high levels of metals including copper and arsenic. These undesirable elements increase inflammation and promote various diseases thus making meat a less desirable option when building muscle and long-term health are considered. |

From 2002 to 2005, researchers from the Hebrew Senior Life's Institute for Aging Research and University of Massachusetts Lowell observed the muscle mass, strength, and bone density of 3,000 participants with varied dietary habits in the 17 to 72 age range. They found that while higher protein intake led to better overall musculoskeletal health, the source of dietary protein—plant or animal—was irrelevant. “We know that dietary protein can improve muscle mass and strength,” lead researcher Dr. Kelsey M. Mangano said. “However, until now, we did not know if one protein food source was better than another in accomplishing optimal results.”
And there’s no comparison between animal foods and plant foods when it comes to providing immune-boosting and cancer-fighting nutrients. Animal foods are either exceedingly low or devoid of antioxidants and tend to offer concentrated amounts of individual nutrients, like protein or calcium, while being deficient in many others. By contrast, plant foods are rich in antioxidants and provide a wide spectrum of vitamins, minerals, and other health-promoting nutrients.
Only plants contain powerful substances called phytochemicals, which scientists are now discovering protect us from cancer, heart disease, and other serious illnesses. Plants are also the primary source of all minerals in our diet. Minerals are derived from the earth and make their way into the food supply via plants. The only reason animal foods contain any minerals at all is because the animals eat plants. And plants are our only sources of dietary fiber, which binds in our intestines with fat, cholesterol, environmental pollutants and disease-causing hormones to eliminate these dangers from the body. Fiber also protects against bowel cancers, yet 97% of Americans don't meet the daily requirements for fiber intake.
Eat More Plants!

3. SEVEN REASON TO DRINK LIKE A FISH
|
What kind of water is best? You can choose from tap water, filtered, and distilled. Which one out of these three do you think is the healthiest for you to drink? Try drinking distilled water for 10 days and then drink tap water or filtered water and you will tell the difference in taste. Do you need the minerals in our tap water? Here is what experts say:
"The body can use only organic minerals. It is physiologically impossible for your body to use an inorganic mineral. It simply cannot and will not do it. Anyone who knows biochemistry and physiology knows this to be true. It is frustratingly ironic how many people who should know better fail to recognize this simple fact. Your body can no more use an inorganic mineral than your car can run on Coca-Cola. Mountain spring water is not ideal for the human body because it contains inorganic minerals that the human body can neither use nor precipitate out. These inorganic minerals tend to hook up with cholesterol in the system and form a thick plaque in the arteries."

4. HERBS FOR BETTER HEALTH
Let's go back in time for a moment. The medicinal benefits of herbs have been known to man for centuries. The records of Roman, Egyptian, Persian, Hebrew and Chinese medicine show that herbs were used extensively to heal practically every known illness to man. Many herbs contain powerful ingredients that, if used correctly, can help heal the body. The early pharmaceutical industry was based upon its ability to isolate these ingredients and make them available in purer form. Herbalists, however, contend that nature provided other ingredients in the same herb to balance with the more powerful ingredients. These other components, though they may be less potent, may help to act as a buffer, giving balance to more powerful ingredients. By using these healing herbs in their complete form, the body's healing process utilizes a balance of ingredients provided by nature. |

Our body needs antioxidants and essential nutrients in order to perform and fight off disease, and to function at optimal levels. We all want to feel good, with plenty of energy reserves, and with clear, positive thoughts! Even if you eat a very healthy diet, you still will not be able to consume enough volume of food to get the level of vitamins and minerals to best protect yourself from disease.
Few Americans eat a healthy diet, and that's the primary reason for supplementation. The food on our tables is grown in soil that has been depleted of its nutrients. Farmers use chemical fertilizers that have the three nutrients plants need, but you and I need much more. In addition, our commercially grown produce goes through several processes that rob them of most of the nutrients. Rutgers University reported that today's chemically grown produce has 87% less nutrients. Herbal supplements can help support and improve your health, even prevent disease.
How to Detox Your Body? Your body is a temple, a noble instrument!
What do you do when your car's oil filter becomes clogged with pollutants? You simply replace it with a new filter. What do you do when your colon, liver, kidneys and other filtering systems become polluted? You cannot replace them. You clean and restore them to their unpolluted state! This is done by scrubbing the body's filters with detoxifying products specifically designed to cleanse, rebuild and maintain every one of these filters.
Colon Cleansing - The colon is the body's sewage system and treatment plant. The primary cause of autointoxication is a backed-up, impacted, clogged colon, just as your house would be if all of its sewers and drains were plugged up. Fortunately this condition can be easily remedied by cleansing the colon by taking cleansing herbal remedies and eating more whole foods.
Liver Detoxification - By way of analogy, the liver is the body's oil filter. It traps and filters out all of the blood-borne pollutants, all the toxins dumped into the system from a clogged colon, and all the waste products from cellular metabolism, not to mention all the environmental poisons that we are subjected to daily. When working properly, the liver pulls these toxins out of the blood stream and eliminates them from the body through the colon. To detoxify the liver, use liver herbs for support. A good formula for this is the Liver & Colon Cleanse .

5. REST & SPIRITUAL NOURISHMENT
Take time to meditate! We need to take time to nurture ourselves spiritually and have oneness and peace of mind. What can we do each day to achieve that oneness within ourselves? We feed our bodies with the foods we like every day. Why not feed and nurture your spirit every day? Just like everyone has a body that is shaped differently, so is our spirit. You can have a well-defined spirit, like a well-defined body. It takes a little exercise similar to exercising our physical body, but more of a mental exercise. The following is a good workout program that may be helpful. Get up about 30 minutes earlier in the morning when your mind and spirit are clear and rested. Then meditate (meditate about your goals, what you want to achieve). You can come closer to your spirit and become one with yourself and the spirit. Meditation is vital to building up the spiritual muscle, and keeping it tuned up. How often do you take your spirit in for a tune up? |
Same with our bodies and our spirits, they need tune ups too!
Go to a place where you can relax and be alone. Go into your bedroom and sit or lay on the bed. Go for a walk, to meditate. Think of your goals and repeat good thoughts. Good impressions will come to you clearly or, you can just be silent and listen!
