The 3 Critical Aspects to Physical Health
Saturday, July 17th, 2010
There are 3 critical aspects to sound health. Ignoring any one of the following may leave you susceptible to disease and degenerative effects of premature aging.
1 Electrical Energy – life and vitality are all about electrical energy.
2 Chemistry – optimum health happens only with pH balance.
3 Belief – our reality is created by our thoughts.
We can think of health as a bank account. In each area highlighted above, we are either making deposits to, or withdrawals from, our account balance. As long as the account is being replenished, the body will continue to serve us.
When withdrawals exceed deposits, disease begins to appear; in time, the balance goes to zero and the account is closed – we die.
Electrical Energy
The body is an energy system that operates on, generates, and stores, electricity. For comparison, nerve pathways are our transmission lines, and every cell is a miniature generator and storage battery.
Energy to replenish body reserves comes from the food we eat. Only raw, living food contains restorative energy that can be made available for transfer to the body.
Any food whose enzymes have been destroyed by cooking has lost its electrical energy.When it is consumed, it becomes a drain on the body’s electrical potential because the body must draw on stored energy to process the dead food.
We must be conscious of our diet and choose to eat adequate quantities of electrically active food. Living food leads to health and vitality. Dead food has no electrical energy; consuming disproportionate quantities of it leads to lower energy reserves, disease, and an early death.
All food, including Supplements,must contain live enzymes to be electrically alive and health-building.
Chemistry
The human body was designed to operate in a slightly alkaline state. In optimum Health, blood has a pH of 7.4; cells operate best at a pH near 7.0.
Body pH is determined by the predominance of alkaline or acid minerals the body must process and store. Raw fruits and vegetables are the main sources of natural alkaline minerals for the body.
Most other foods contain minerals that produce strong acids in the body, which then must be neutralized and eliminated.
This neutralization process depletes the body’s stores of alkaline minerals. A healthy Diet should contain approximately 80% alkaline and 20% acid foods and beverages.
Having knowledge of which foods supply the mineral requirements for pH balance, and consciously choosing to consume them, empowers us to work with our bodies toward health. By regularly checking the pH of our first in the morning urine, we can monitor the body’s need for additional alkaline minerals.
Belief
Ultimately, everything in our lives is determined by our conscious and subconscious beliefs. Thoughts are energy, which in turn, creates our reality. Our thoughts and emotions produce either harmony or disharmony within our bodies.
Positive thoughts have an alkalizing and regenerative effect; negative thoughts have an acidifying and degenerative effect. Becoming aware of what we think and feel is the first step in creating a life of health and happiness.
All our beliefs are determined, reinforced, or changed by our thoughts.What we repeat in our self-talk eventually manifests as health or disease in our bodies, and as happiness or sadness, fulfillment or disappointment in our lives.
Life is an experience we create; this happens whether we are aware of it or not. Our purpose for being here is to become aware, to consciously create the life we want; our power to do that increases as we become more conscious.
When we begin to understand that our ego is a false self, we open the door to self-awareness. The ego works to keep us self-centered and reactive. It works to retain control of our mind and keep us unaware of the true self, which is spirit.
The first step to overcoming the ego’s control is resisting the urge to be reactive, and letting go of our tendency to take offense.
Realizing that those people we feel have hurt us in some way were only acting out of their own blindness and lack of awareness, allows us to forgive them.
Forgiveness is the key to emotional freedom. Gratitude is the path to peace of mind. Unconditional love is the force that creates harmony with all.

Good Health, or a Good Health Care Plan
Wednesday, July 14th, 2010
If you had to have one or the other which would you take? You may or should be making that decision. As you probably know, health care costs are through the roof.
It can and does put a lot of folks in a pinch. They can’t pay them even if they have insurance sometimes. Medical bill can easily lead to bad credit and financial disaster.
Also, I just heard on the news the other night how some emergency rooms are having to turn people away. They send them to other hospitals and people are having to wait hours in emergency rooms for care, or even a bed or place to sit. They don’t expect that to improve any time soon in most cities.
The best plan is preventative medicine. Stay as healthy as you can so you won’t have to worry about medical bills or waiting to see a doctor. Just like you plan for retirement, you should be planning for good health for your “Golden Years”.
You may not be able to tell that you are slowly killing yourself or working your way up to future health problems now, but unless you are paying attention to what you are eating and getting some kind of physical activities you will probably not be able to enjoy a lot of things later in life or sooner.
Being able to travel, play with your grandkids, or even breath, or walk might just not happen.
Eating the right foods and avoiding the wrong foods is not costly or difficult. You just need to take a little time and with a little help you can have excellent health for years. Add some daily Fitness to your routine and improve your Health even more.
You don’t have to be overweight to start a diet, or weight loss program. Those are the best places to learn proper nutrition and good foods from the bad foods, and also how to exercise.
After studying nutrition and weight loss for many years now, I have to caution you on some of the ridiculous diets I have seen though. I almost want to laugh at some of them, but it is not really funny, it is mostly scary. If you see a diet or weight loss plan that says something like, you will lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks, don’t do it. That is worse for your health than not going on a diet at all. You will suffer through something it and it will more than likely cause health problems later. If it sounds to good to be true it probably is.
A good healthy, nutritional diet or weight loss plan will have a good balance of proteins, carbohydrates (the complex ones, not simple carbs), fibers, and fats (the good ones, monounsaturated, polyunsaturated). Your body does need all of these things. It needs to be nourished all day to keep your metabolism up and burning off calories and fats. Study after study has proven this, but still people seem to want to try to change mother nature. I don’t understand. They do starvation diets, cut out carbohydrates, try living on just one kind of food, and all sorts of crazy things that just don’ t work. Sure, maybe short term, you might lose a lot of weight for a short time, but why just short term. Learn how to eat the proper nutrition and it is easy to do it for the rest of your life. You can actually eat a “bad food” every now and then and live through it with any good Diet or weight loss plan. I found it is best to enjoy a “bad food” every now and then and not make eating healthy a torturous thing. One bad meal doesn’t mean you won’t lose weight that week if you are dieting. It’s all about knowing and teaching yourself what bad foods and drinks do to your body and then keeping them to a bare minimal, or stop consuming them completely. There are so many good alternatives that I am sure you will enjoy. Like dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate. It’s that simple.
The other important part of good health is physical activities. Your body starts losing muscle with age. Of coarse you need all your muscles for a lot of reasons. A toned body will burn fat and calories quickly, and it will protect your joints and just plain keep you fit and feeling that way. Aerobic exercise is good, but strength exercises I do believe is much better. A mixture of both is best.
You don’t have to devote all of your time and your life to diet, nutrition, & exercise. Just a very small part of it and that hour or two a day that you spend cooking healthy, eating healthy, and exercise will pay off greatly in the coming years. Think of it this way, it is like paying yourself thousands of dollars a day for spending the time, because that is what you will be saving in medical bills later on if you don’t. Not to mention all the things you won’t be able to do because of bad health.
One last thing. Don’t procrastinate. Start now! There is no reason to put it off. If you say you are going to wait till after Christmas, or New Years, why? Like I said earlier, you can still have a “bad food” or a “bad meal” and then just start back eating the right way afterwards. Learn about good nutrition now and get started. Just think, the better your health and food intake is now, then it won’t be as bad by Christmas or New Years. You will be able to easily drop the extra calories you gain then. Also the better your nutrition is, the less likely it is that you will catch a cold or the flu. Get and stay healthy starting today.

http://www.cybermedicinestore.com/mediterranean-The Importance Of Appropriate Cat Food
Saturday, July 10th, 2010
Part of the responsibility of pet ownership is the care and feeding of our animal friends. For cat owners, appropriate feline care can greatly increase the health of our cats and extend their lives significantly. Subsequently, choosing the appropriate cat food – based on breed and size – is of the utmost importance in taking responsible care of our cats.
Cat food comes in a dizzying array of choices; as we browse the shelves, we hardly know where to start. The most important thing to remember when choosing a cat food is that each particular brand is specifically designed for a particular stage in a cat’s life. So a food that is appropriate for a kitten is not appropriate for an older cat. Read the packaging to determine what cat food is meant for your specific age of cat.
That being said, there are still quite a lot of ingredients and nutritional contradictions when it comes to cat food. A reputable veterinarian will be able to tell you what is essential to the health and longevity of your cat. It is important that you follow these guidelines when making a selection of cat food based on the nutrients it offers.
To narrow it down even further, when it comes to choosing between brands, look for those that carry an Association of American Feed Control Officials (AAFCO) seal of approval. This ensures that this particular brand of cat food meets with the nutritional guidelines as set forth by the AAFCO.
Other things to take into consideration when it comes to cat food are the size and health of your cat. Stay within the feed guidelines – as recommended by your veterinarian – for your cat’s size. And if your cat has any existing Health conditions you must be sure to take this into consideration when asking your veterinarian about appropriate cat food.
Cat food can be found anywhere from your grocery store to your local large retail outlet or pet supply store. The pet stores tend to carry a larger selection and offer a more competitive price so if you have one close by it is worth checking out.
Feeding your cat the most appropriate cat food for them is an essential part of an overall program for good health and long life.
