8 Easy Steps to Self Publishing Books from Your Website Articles

Publish your book as a softcover, PDF eBook, Kindle Book and Audio book
Interested in self-publishing books? If you have a website, you can re-purpose your finest articles into a book. Ponder it. As soon as you write lots of quality articles and lots of traffic on your website, why not reuse it, all the same articles in a printed book, PDF eBook, audio books and Kindle book getting the most out of your time and work.
These are My 8 Painless Steps to Self Publishing Books:
1. Write down an blueprint for the book chapters with the finest articles from your website.
2. Write your book in a Microsoft Word template (or your favorite software) formatted for your needed book size.
3. Save your book to PDF.
4. Decide on a book designer for your book cover or choos a DIY design.
5. Choose between all the publishers who you want to use to publish your book.
6. Sign up for an account with self-publishing and upload your files, if relevant.
7. Now begin your book marketing by selling copies online at Amazon, using your own website and in person when you speak or at events.
8. Now it is the time to format the book into a PDF ebook, audio book and Kindle book.
This is what I did with my website www.Teen-Beauty-Tips.Com. That was the fall of 2008 when I stumbled upon the idea of self-publishing books. One of our contacts, also a speaker, showed us his self-published book.
Quality was great and we found out that he was able to buy his self-published books on his cost of only -3 for every book. Not only would there be supplementary revenue to promote books at speaking events, but it also gives immediate credibility of a "published author." "I thought," Wow .. . I can I do this."
And so, I put together an draft for my book based on the top articles on my website. Next, I came up with the title.
Then, I started to copy and paste my articles into a Word document template. I then converted my Word document using the free of charge edition of PDF995 (click on properties, then advanced option and select the "Statement [5.5 5 X 8.5 5]" from the dropdown menu for the paper format.)
Despite working full time as a physiotherapist and speaking, as well as traveling from time to time, I had a 190-page book ready to print in a month.
I had a low budget (or should I say no budget) so I took the DIY method. I researched styles of my template and did my own book cover in Photoshop. I researched self-publishing companies and decided to go with Createspace (http://www.self-publishing-coach.com/createspace), a division of Amazon, because there are no direct costs and they list you quickly on Amazon.com.
As an example, my 190 page black and white soft cover book only cost me .13 + shipping, with the help of the Pro Plan. The Pro Plan is a fee of the first year and then an annual fee of , but is well worth the cost in an increase in royalties and decreased cost to buy books. I highly recommend the Pro Plan, by the way. There is really no reason to not go with the Pro Plan (that is, unless you don't plan to sell any books at all!).
Once my book was released on Createspace and Amazon, I also had it converted into the PDF eBook version. I give out the PDF version away to my newsletter subscribers, which once more has helped me to build my list in a very small niche (Christian teen girls) to around 2700 and expanding.
I therefore decided to make my book as an audio book using Audacity and a microphone to record it. I am now selling MP3 downloads through Clickbank and also sell a CD of my audiobook on Kunaki.com. Through Kunaki I can buy CD's at cost for as low as (+ shipping), and I also sell them at my events and online through my website.
As a final point, I took my Word document, took out the pictures embedded in my file and saved it as an HTML document. I then uploaded it to Amazon's Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), and I now offer the Kindle version from my website as well.
In such a small and specialized niche, I'm not getting rich by selling books from my website. But there is a consistent income from both online and offline sales, and as my traffic increases (now over 1000 visitors per day), so do my sales. You can catch a glimpse of my sales page here.
Of course, if you want to "Hit it Big" in publishing, you will want to hire a professional to design your interior book template and your book cover design. I finally decided to have a designer update my book cover for me.
If you want to go the TRUE self publishing route and do all the leg work yourself, then you can form your own book publishing company and use Lightning Source. In this case, a book like Dan Poynter's Self Publishing Manual is a great resource to guide you step by step.
Given that you've already put so much time and effort into writing your website, it could be worth taking some extra time and re-purposing the same articles into a hard good, as a paperback book, CD and digital products as a PDF eBook, Kindle book and MP3 downloads for your visitors.
If you do not want to be a national bestseller, but purely want to offer additional resources to your website visitors and add another income, then download my free templates, sign up for a free Createspace account and get started!
Oh, and have fun...soon you'll be a "Published author."

***Overcoming Secretive Eating

Finally - you are alone. No one else is around. You waited an eternity until you could indulge in a secret candy bar on the drive home from work. Or, maybe you stayed up late waiting until finally everyone else fell deep asleep. Now you can head into the kitchen and give yourself guilty pleasure. Sometimes it is a slice of cake, sometimes its ice cream. Other times you stand in front of the refrigerator eating leftovers without a plate. Occasionally, you plan in advance, stockpiling your favorite goodies, and then hiding them in your own private stash place.
Almost in a trance-like state, you begin eating the foods you do not want anyone to know you eat... in volumes you do not want anyone to know you want. You eat quickly, not wanting to get caught. The irony is that you are not really enjoying the food, you are not really hungry, and you don't know why you are doing it. Initially you feel a sense of freedom, exhilaration, and relief. However, something odd also occurs... when eating becomes secretive, it becomes both more exciting and more difficult to give up. A devastating cycle begins where the lure of pleasure and secretive eating progresses, but so does the sense of guilt, failure, and sometimes even depression.
Do you feel like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde around food? You put on a great show of being on your best diet and weight loss behavior around other people, but once you are alone you feel compelled to eat? Read below to understand a few of the reasons you turn to secretive eating, and then use the explorative questions to help you gain new empowerment to choose a new way of living.
Food Is Not the Issue
If you are trying to stop your secretive eating behaviors, remember that food is not the main issue. You are using food to handle problems in other areas of your life. Those problem areas can include feeling out of control or anxious, having perfectionist attitudes, having low self-esteem or low self-worth, feeling inferior or insecure, or having trouble making decisions. Instead of putting more willpower into your dieting efforts, shift your attention to learning assertiveness skills and self-expression skills that allow you to feel more empowered and worthy.
Sneak Eating is About Feeling Deprived
If you have been on a diet, a restrictive food plan, or even if you just feel you "should" be eating healthy, you may find yourself engaging in secretive eating out of a sense of self-deprivation. By making certain foods forbidden, you may inadvertently increase your occupation with food. For example, feeling that you should not eat sweets, high-carbohydrate, or high-fat foods can lead you to crave those very types of foods. Falling into a "poor me, I can't have that food" mindset, or feeling that you have been "very good" with your eating choices can lead secretive eating. A simple solution is to change how you think. Learn to say, "I know I can have that food, but I choose not to have it."
The 10 Most Powerful Feelings You Eat to Kill
Secretive eating is also about feelings and self-expression. These feelings may be with you most of the day. However, it is only when the pace slows down, that you notice them. Not knowing how to handle these powerful emotions, eating follows. Eating in isolation can be a way of stuffing down emotions that seem overwhelming. In addition, eating alone can provide down time without the interruption of family, work, or other responsibilities.
1. Feeling disempowered to change your life
2. Feeling overwhelmed or trapped and not knowing how to move forward
3. Unresolved stress and anxiety
4. Perfectionist attitudes or fear of making mistakes or failing
5. Loneliness or boredom
6. Having a sense of insecurity
7. Feeling undeserving of the abundance and pleasure life has to offer
8. Low self-esteem or poor self-image
9. Eating to hide an emptiness inside
10. A sense of feeling deprived caused by dieting or "being good" with food
Recognize Your Needs, Wants, and Desires
Secretive eating is a time you don't have to pretend to be capable, competent, pleasant, likeable, or strong. It is a time you allow yourself to be entirely self-centered, where you don't have to take care of the needs of anyone else and can focus completely on yourself. If you engage in secretive eating, you have legitimate - and important - needs that you do not know how to meet in an assertive, proactive manner. You may have decided that taking care of your own needs is selfish or unimportant, and you now hide, lie, or make excuses about your needs. You may push your needs to the bottom of your priority list, or pretend you don't have any needs at all. As a result, you substitute food for what you really need in life. Although, it makes sense that if you feel you don't have a right to your needs, that this belief would also carry over to food. You eat and give yourself pleasure in secret, and then feel guilty about your need for pleasure. One way to stop sneak eating is to clarify your needs, wants, and desires, and then put them back on the top of your daily to-do list. Make time for what is important to you.
Secretive Eating is About Pleasure
One of the most powerful human needs is a yearning for connection to all that gives pleasure and meaning to our lives. While you are eating secretively, you are giving yourself pleasure in whatever amounts you want. Overall, this is a wonderful thing. The only problem is that you really didn't want food, you wanted something far more important. You wanted to be able to receive pleasure, and feel that you had a right to have that pleasure. To help end secretive eating, increase the amount of pleasure in your life. Add new pleasure into your life by increasing connection with your physical senses. Set out to fill your eyes with pleasurable colors and pictures, your nose with pleasurable aromas, and your skin with pleasurable sensations. In addition, become more optimistic, practice gratitude, pursuing meaningful life goals, engage in activities and hobbies that make you feel good.
Questions to Help End Secretive Eating
There are many actions you can take to end secretive eating. First, empower yourself by being curious about your secretive eating behaviors. Discover what motivates your eating by asking yourself a few questions as each incident occurs:
* Where are you when you sneak eat?
*What is it that you don't want people to see:
The amount of food you are eating?
The kind of food you are eating?
The fact that you are eating at all?
* What were you thinking about right before you ate it?
* What were you feeling before you began eating?
* What need is this food filling (or stuffing) in your life?
* What else, other than food, would fill the wants and desires that you have?
* What is it that you really need?
Answering these questions and keeping a journal of your answers for future reference will help you understand what prompts your behavior. The information you gather will help you redirect your efforts toward solutions that increase your self-love, self-esteem and self-approval. By recognizing that secretive eating is covering up important needs, you can find new ways to eat out in the open again and live a happier, balanced life.

***Golf Tips: Fourteen Ways To Get Out Of A Sand Trap The Way The Pros Do

I counsel lots of golfers. Some of them are professionals, some are highly ranked amateurs and juniors. Others are weekend warriors hoping to win a few more dollars and maybe the club championship.
While most pros do not mind hitting out of bunkers, some golfers hate being stuck in the sand. It is obvious that they become angry, frustrated and anxious when they land their ball in the sand.
Once these negative emotions take over, it is hard for golfers to get the ball out of the sand with a sense of accuracy, confidence, focus and control.
In order to compile some useful tips for weekend golfers who struggle with bunker shots, I spent some time with one of the finest teaching professionals I know.Jon Manos is a PGA professional who teaches near my office in BergenCounty, New Jersey. Jon, who has his own golf school at the Closter Driving Range, is very adept at breaking down the various aspects of the golf game andproviding golfers with simple ways to improve the wide range of shots that comprise a balanced golf game.
According to Jon, "If the sand were spray painted green, everyone would be fine." In his view, the bunker shot is really no different than the shot thatgolfers refer to as a pitch. The color of the sand, the texture and the depth ofthe bunker seems to intimidate many
golfers.
If you want to hit your bunker shots with more consistency and with more accuracy, here are a few simple tips to help you master the physical and mental aspects of the bunker shot.
1. Imagine that you are trying to get the sand in front of the ball and behind the ball onto the green. This is a great way to help you visualize the feel and trajectory you need on your shot.
2. Keep your knees flexed and remain in a crouch throughout your shot.
3. Don't make the mistake of trying to help the ball out of the bunker with your shoulders.
4. Move your front foot back two inches from your normal pitching stance.
5. You must choke down on the club. This will give you more control.
6. The bunker shot is a three quarter swing.
7. In general, try to take a divot which is one inch deep when you are in a bunker.
8. Use your sand wedge for the majority of your bunker shots. Once you master the sand wedge in the bunker, you can experiment with other wedges, your eight iron and your nine iron to accommodate various lies and distances from the pin.
9. Imagine that the ball is sitting in the center of a dollar bill and take a dollar of sand when you swing at the ball.
10. Swing your club in the direction you want the ball to travel.
11. Keep your hand pressure the same as you do on your normal pitch shot. Many players have a tendency to hold the club too firmly in the sand.
12. Don't dig your feet into the sand. This will make the bunker shot more difficult for you.
13. Some pros use an open stance when they want to hit out of a bunker. Jon does not think this is right or necessary for the average golfer.
14. Practice this shot often. You will probably find out that it is not as difficult as you think it is. In fact, some golfers love to play out of the sand because they feel the shot is easy, since they can miss the ball and hit a great shot.
In addition to the mechanical skills required to execute a good sand shot,golfers need to be calm, confident and focused when they confront bunker shots. It is useful for golfers to be skilled in self-hypnosis so that they can get themselves into the right frame of mind to successfully execute the bunker shot and other challenging shots. Remember, you need to control you emotions and your mind to play consistent golf.

Moreover, the process of weight gain is very easy but when it comes to weight loss it is very hard to cut down extra weight. Why not consider including Adipex in your diet regime. These pills help you get rid of excessive weight.
Everyone wants to look beautiful and have a good body structure, but hectic schedules and fast lifestyles prevent people to do workout nowadays that causes excessive weight gain.

Also as perfect looks bring the confidence for which one has to have attractive and fit body. In such a situation Adipex is among the most preferred choice of the users. Adipex is a stimulant that is related to an amphetamine which is an appetite suppressant that affects the central nervous program. It is, however, suggested that one should take weight loos pills only after seeking an advice from doctor. Further, Phentermine is offered with a prescription under different brand names like Adipex. It helps to reduce weight in a very short span of time.
Along with these diet pills, it is also important to have a proper diet plan and regular exercise should be combined with these appetite suppressants for effective results. Further, it is also very important to change eating habits and start some exercise. Adipex helps to promote weight loss by decreasing appetite or increasing the feeling of being full. It works just like a catalyst which increases the weight loss process. It makes you feel less hungry by increasing one or more brain chemicals that affect mood and appetite. Adipex decreases appetite by possibly changing brain levels of serotonin. Phentermine is a nervous system stimulator like amphetamines causing stimulation, elevation of blood pressure, and faster heart rate. It works best only when administered as per the instructions of the doctor.

But if you can manage to eat nuts in a healthy way you can shed off some extra kilos – that is the new age belief. So health experts advise eating nuts in an appropriate way. The diet is not harmful, contrary to other types of fast diets.
You can take the help of Slim. Fast. This is a substitute for your normal diet and you have to take it 6 times a day. It is a type of a drink that needs to be taken. It is quite like milkshakes.

5 Tips To Due Diligence For Tax Deeds

Doing your due diligence is the most important element of investing in tax deeds. Doing it properly can lead to lots of profit, while ignoring this aspect of tax deed investing could cost you your investment.
Here are 5 tips to help you do your due diligence on tax deed properties to insure that you make a profitable investment!
1. Get the Property Record. You want to get the property record from the tax assessor's office. These records usually show all the information on the property used for valuation, the type of property, the assessed value, and sometimes you can even get the last sale data on the property.
2. Do a Title Search. I'm not talking about paying a title company to a title search. I'm talking about searching the county records (using the owner's name) to find the deed to the property and any liens that exist on the property.
3. Look at a GIS map. GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems and sometimes you can get a GIS map of the property from the property assessor's website. This can show the area that the property is in and Geographic information like whether it's in a flood plain or not.
4. Get market Value and neighborhood information. There are various websites, like Realtor.com and Zillow.com that will give you comparisons of nearby properties and allow you to look up demographics about the area. I wouldn't trust their valuations, but you could look up demographics that can affect your selling price.
5. Find out about possible environmental issues. Each state has an environmental website that list known environmental problems. Find the environmental website for the state that you are investing in and locate the list of known problem sites for the county. Do not bid on any of the properties listed as known environmental problems. You may want to stay away from any properties that are near any of these problem sites.
Bonus #6 Check Notifications. You want to check that proper notification of the tax sale was made to the delinquent property owner and all liens holders. One of the reasons for doing your own title search is to make sure that if you do find any lien holders, that they were given proper notification of the tax sale. If the property owner or any of the lien holders were not properly notified of the sale, they could contest the sale in court and purchase the property back from you. You would get your money back, but you would have done all that work for nothing.

Problems With The Low Carb Diets

Article by Oscar Jones

Due to all of the studies which conflict each other and differing opinions it's no wonder people are confused when it comes to assessing the problems with the low carb diets.

Whichever diet it may be, be it atkins or South Beach or another type of low carb diet up to 30 million are currently trying low carb diets.

Some say that because of the amount of carbs currently in our diets that is why we have such massive obesity in the world today along wih increased diabetes and certain other serious health issues. Others says that it is due to the fact that we just consume to many calories today rather than just attribute it to increased carb intake. They also state that lack of exercise is another major cause.

In addition there is a general decline in those of us that eat
grains and enough fruit and veg. As low carb diets do not contain enough of these elements of a healthy diet there is concern that this will lead to a general deficiency in required nutrients such as Vitamin C, fiber, folic acid and several other essential minerals.

Irrespective of the type of diet chosen by an individual significant weight loss can be achieved in the early stages.

However, the key to a successful diet is to lose the weight and keep it off which means a change in lifestyle habits forever not just to get the initial weight off.

To remove some of the mysteries of low carb diets below I have listed some key points from studies taken:

Low Carb Diets - Their Differences

There are a lot of different and popular low carb diets out there which rely on a reduction of the total amount of carbohydrate which an individual consumes. This will result in the proteins and fats being consumed being in greater proportion to the total calorie intake than someone on a more balance diet.

Protein Power and Atkins diets restrict carbs to such a point where the body goes into a state of ketogenic. Others. like Zone and Life without bread are not so strict on carb intake.

Low Carb Diets - What We Know

Alot of the studies are still in their infancy with a whole range of objectives to be met. Carb, calorie intake, duration of diet and characteristics of those participating vary enormously. Most of the studies carried out did not have a mean age over age 53 and none of those that were controlled went on for further than 90 days. Therefore the effects on older people and for longer periods of time are rare.

Alot of the studies carried out on diets did not look at the amount of exercise being undertaken by participants and therefore did not evaluate calorific expenditure. This would explain some of the differences in the study results.

The weight loss on low carb diets is a function of caloric restriction and diet duration, and not with reduced carbohydrate
intake. This finding suggests that if you want to lose weight, you
should eat fewer calories and do so over a long time period.

Low Carb Diets - How Safe Are They?

There is not much evidence in existence to show how safe a low carb diet is over the long term. Despite concerns from several parties there is nothing to substantiate any adverse effects, short term, in cholesterol, insulin, glucose and blood pressure levels. It has been pointed out that losing weight anyway helps in these areas and therefore may offset the negative effect of the low carb diet itself. The long range weight change for low-carb and other types of diets is similar.

Ketosis - What Is It?

Most low carb diets cause ketosis. Some of the potential consequences are nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and confusion.

During initial phases of low carb dieting some fatigue and constipation may be encountered. Generally, these symptoms dissipate quickly. Ketosis may also give the breath a fruity odor, somewhat like nail-polish remover (acetone).

3 important points I would like to re-emphasize:

The longer range success rate for low carb and other types of diets is similar.

Despite their popularity, no much information exists about the long term safety of low carb diets.

Boredom usually overcomes willpower due to restricted choice. Which results in weight going back on once the low carb regime has ceased.

Strictly low carb diets produce ketosis which is an abnormal and
potentially stressful metabolic state. Under some circumstances this might cause health related complications.

The diet that you eventually choose should be a map for a lifestyle change which remains with you for the rest of your life. Don't look at a diet as a short term thing but a long term partner in achieving your weight loss and health goals. If you cannot see yourself sticking to the rules for more than a couple of weeks or so then that diet is not for you. To this end, following a moderately low fat diet with a healthy balance of fat, protein, carbohydrate and other nutrients is beneficial.

As an alternative to low carb diets look to just give up some of the bad carbohydrates in your diet rather than stopping them altogether. Avoid foods that are high in processed sugar, snacks and white flour products. Complex carbohydrates such as found in fruit and whole grains should be continued to be consumed.

Paleo Diet Foods

Paleo Diet Foods & Why Its Worth Checking Out

When it comes to weight loss and trying to be healthy, the most common routes pursued include eating right and hitting the gym. In fact, this is an equation that almost everyone automatically turns to. However, in many instances, people tend to focus more on the physical exercise part of the process instead of the proper nutrition aspect. The reality is that while it is important to implement regular exercise into a persons lifestyle, it is even more important to stay on top of our food intake and correct bad eating habits. An individual can spend countless hours in the gym pumping iron and performing repetitious exercises but without the right foods in their system, favorable results will be much more difficult to achieve.

The Myths

One of the many things that keeps people in the vicious cycle of sweating for hours at the gym instead of focusing on their nutrition are the myths that surround the concept of weight loss. Even those that try to eat right often get off to the wrong start by having the wrong idea about what it really takes to use food to ones advantage in shedding excess pounds. Paleo Diet Foods is a program that aims to educate the public about the various fat loss strategies that result in desired, long lasting weight loss, as well as dispel the numerous misconceptions. The two most common food-related myths that this program proves wrong include the belief that carbohydrates are theenemy and should be avoided and that calorie counting is the way to truly losing weight. Additionally, the program points out surprising facts, such as the way certain health foods actually cause the body to store large amounts of fat.

The Approach

So what makes this program stand out from the rest? The answer is easy: by focusing more on learning what proper nutrition is for your unique body type, adapting a healthier lifestyle (and maintaining it) and monitoring your weight and food intake to track your progress. There is a nutritional planthat provides people with the right tips and practices for better eating and strategies for burning fat.

The goal of Paleo Diet Foods is to give people access to the right information about nutrition, teach them which foods to keep and which to avoid, as well as how to maintain a positive food intake that will guarantee not only favorable results but those that will last for years to come. Additionally, those that follow the program will finally have the ability to free themselves from tireless routines at the gym.

There are countless weight loss programs available online but what makes Paleo Diet Foods unique is its main focus on losing weight and keeping it off by helping people target their specific body type and how it reacts to various foods. Once the proper nutritional plan has been identified, a person can then take the steps necessary to develop the ideal eating regimen that doesnt involve restricting calories or even getting rid of their favorite foods.

Blood Group Diet for Weight Loss - Can Blood Type Influence Weight Loss

Recently, I was intrigued to come across a weight loss program officially known as the Blood Group Diet; it has been around for sometime though I had not read up on it previously. However, I gathered from the book that according to the research of alleged experts, blood type actually has an influence on the way in which a human body absorbs nutrients from food consumed.
Apparently, or so it is theorized, each blood group uses a unique antigen marker which causes good or bad reactions to certain food types. Furthermore, stomach acidity and digestive enzymes are also said to be related to specific blood groups; possibly this might account for why some foods give certain people reactions such as indigestion yet have no noticeable effect on another.
Eating Like Your Ancestors!
According to this blood group diet theory, people who eat food that is in tandem with their blood type will benefit due to the fact that the meal will be more easily digested and the nutrients contained within said meal will be more efficiently absorbed by the body.
As strange as it may sound, the researchers theorize that blood groups all evolved at different times; thus for anyone wishing to follow this method of weight loss he or she will need to eat food of the kind originally consumed by their ancestors.
Here is a very brief outline of the plan, the blood groups and the recommended food types.
Blood Group O - This group is associated with hunter gatherers therefore, the best type of food for them to consume, according to the research, would consist of lots of protein, mainly meat and fish. However they should avoid dairy and wheat products. They are also advised to take regular exercise and plenty of fluids.

***Maximize Your Health While Building Your Wealth

In an ideal world, we would spend eight hours of our day at work, another eight in recreational activities and the last eight hours asleep. The true question is how many of us live in the ideal world?
Instead, in the real world, most corporate warriors, executives and entrepreneurs work twelve to sixteen hours every day with little recreational time and less sleep. Forget about taking any vacation during the financial crisis - it is not only unthinkable in your own mind but a serious offense in the eyes of others. People worry about keeping their companies afloat, with the emotional toll of lay-offs, foreclosures and downsizing.
While many are trying their best to hold on to their wealth by doing the work of two or three people these days, working 24/7 is counterproductive to high performance and productivity. Even athletes know that their performance will be hurt if they train too hard or work out too long. Many people are working so intensely and with so much pressure that stress is taking a toll on their health. Many don't seek for help until they experience medical problems such as anxiety attacks, depression, headaches, increased blood pressure or gastrointestinal problems. Although stress does not cause these medical problems, it serves as a trigger in vulnerable systems that become exhausted and weak.
How many of you thought the crisis was initially small and contained and wouldn't affect you? You then realized it was spreading more and more and then you came to see that this situation was directly affecting your friends, your family and your own life. Although many people talk about financial strategies to resolve this economic crisis, the largest toll is mostly psychological. I believe there are two distinctive characteristics of stress during this economic turmoil: it continues to increase and it is unremitting. Look at our past presidents' pictures before and after they complete their terms: they look older. Skin is our largest body system and it reflects the aging process. Our other organ systems also age, we just can't see it with such clarity.
What does this have to do with our ability to produce wealth?
When we exhaust our bodies and our minds, instead of coming up with creative ideas and the energy to bring those ideas into action, we instead deflate, out of stamina, unable to think of positive ways to resolve our challenges. Instead of producing more and increasing our earnings, we get bogged down by the problems and struggle to find alternative options for a positive resolution.
Tips to maximize your health while building your wealth:
1) Think of effective hours of work rather than the number of hours of work: You may believe that you are the only one who can do everything that you do, but keep track of your activities. You will be surprised when you realize how you distribute - or waste - your time. Common traps include the constant use of email, Blackberries, PDAs or phones to answer unnecessary messages. Instead, allocate time to respond to emails, attend networking events or even visit social networking sites during the day. Take notice of the time you spend doing these activities. Overdoing any of these will take you away from spending productive time at work or meaningful time at home.
2) Set up clear priorities: Make sure that you achieve what is high on your to-do list and that you discard anything with low priority. It's time to let go. If you claim that everything is an emergency you will fall in the trap of responding to fires all the time rather than creating focused ways to increase your wealth. Although it may be tempting to do other things, allow yourself to work on what is truly necessary, and once this work has been completed work on the less important tasks.
3) Have a Plan: Most people don't have a plan and many who do leave it in the drawer without checking their progress. By having a plan, you can follow your progress and decide whether you are achieving your desired goals. Without a plan, you will end up busy and exhausted and will continue to have more of busyness and exhaustion. Some things to consider: create deadlines for projects, focus on tasks that follow your plan and help you get closer to your ultimate destination, and check your plan often to make sure you are working smart, not working for the sake of being busy. If you have never created a plan, this is a great time to start.
4) Cut down your working hours from 16 to 12 or from 12 to 10: What would you do if you were forced to work fewer hours and be more efficient with your time? Unfortunately, many feel pressured to do this after they have become too sick to work because of a heart attack scare or challenging life event when their spouse leaves them for good. By creating a sense of urgency before these things happen, you can force yourself to become more focused, more effective, more efficient, and more productive.
5) Find effective ways to maximize The Four Pillars of Health: nutrition, exercise, sleep and relaxation. Whether you own your own business, you work in a large organization or in a small business, most people are leading under pressure these days. You will need to find and integrate times to eat, exercise, sleep and relax. Avoid too much caffeine during the day and keep yourself from entering the negative cycle of daily caffeine and alcohol or hypnotics at night. It is not a matter of whether someone who is overworked will exhaust his or her energy: it's a matter of time. When will they burn out? Learn relaxation techniques, including guided imagery or meditation. Listen to music or find a hobby. In addition to these strategies, exercising is a must for busy executives and entrepreneurs. Repetitive exercises tend to be the best to help de-stress, such as using a treadmill or eliptical machine. Others prefer yoga and tai chi to stay fit. Even if you take action-driven vacations, you will need to integrate the great activities that help you find peace and joy during the vacation into your everyday life. Last but not least, nothing beats sleeping well at night.

All About Overtraining

Many people engage in what I would call "under-reaching". Individuals who "under-reach" typically arrive at the gym and perform light exercise at an intensity that is insufficient to achieve weight loss or boost fitness levels. However, there is a truth to the mantra "Something Is Better Than Nothing", and even under-reachers are doing better for their bodies than if they hadn't shown up to exercise at all.
On the other hand, there are "over-trainers". Over-trainers work out at a very high intensity, sometimes accompanied by a high volume that may include multiple exercise sessions in a single day. While high-intensity and high-volume training is not necessarily harmful, long periods of time (weeks or months) spent training in this mode, especially in non-elite athletes, can lead to inadequate or incomplete recovery, which can not only be very dangerous and detrimental to the body, but can also work directly against weight loss or fitness goals. If overtrained for long enough, an individual can completely crash, become chronically ill and fatigued, and be forced into complete rest for up to 3 months! Let's look at three variables: 1) how overtraining occurs; 2) common signs of overtraining; 3) what to do if you're overtrained.
1. How overtraining occurs:
* Inadequate recovery between training sessions
* Too much high intensity training, typically for too long
* Sudden drastic increases in distance, length, or intensity of exercise routine
* Daily intense weightlifting
* High volumes of endurance training
* No vacations, breaks, or off-seasons
* For athletes, excessive competition at high levels (i.e. trying to win every race)
* Inadequate nutrition, typically in the form of caloric and carbohydrate/fat restriction
* Insufficient sleep
* High amounts of stress and anxiety
2. Common signs of overtraining:
* Excessive fatigue/lethargy, especially outside of the gym
* Loss of motivation, energy, drive, and enthusiasm to train
* Loss of sex drive
* Increased stress, anxiety, irritability and feelings of depression
* Insomnia, sleep problems, or nightmares
* Poor concentration, hyperactivity and an inability to relax
* Large fluctuations in weight
* Loss of appetite
* Constant excessively sore and/or weak muscles
* Increased susceptibility to sickness and injury
* Lower performance in competition, such as racing
* Higher resting heart rate and elevated resting blood pressure
* Longer periods of time for heart rate recovery to normal levels after exercise
* Diarrhea, nausea, or headaches
* Menstrual irregularities
If you experience just one or two of these symptoms, it does not mean you are overtrained. However, several symptoms taken together should be strongly indicated with overtraining, and you should take immediate action.
3. What to do if you're overtrained:
* Stop exercising. This is easier said than done for most people who are prone to overtraining. By setting aside a few days, and sometimes up to two weeks, to allow for the body and mind to recover, you will enable yourself to return to an exercise program even stronger and more focused than before.
* Reduce the number of sets and reps, length of time, or intensity of training. For example, if you currently do 45 minutes of cardio before your weightlifting routine, lower to 20 minutes. If you perform 5 sets of an exercise, perform 2-3 instead. If you sit in spinning class at 180 beats per minute, try not to let the heart rate exceed 160 bpm. Continue to adjust variables until your overtraining symptoms subside.
* Introduce recovery days and weeks. Every fourth week, for example, lower both the volume and the intensity of each workout. Or choose two days of the week, such as Sunday and Wednesday, in which you perform only light recovery exercise. This type of strategy is common among athletes, who call it "periodization".
* Relieve tension and stress. There are many ways to manage muscular tension and mental anxiety, including massage, meditation, yoga, hot baths, aroma therapy, and soothing music. Try to include a time during the day that involves a relaxation component, even if it is just 10-15 minutes of gentle breathing and light stretching in the morning.
* Identify nutritional deficiencies in your diet. Inadequate restoration of the body's fuel needs after a workout can lead to a state of overtraining. Directly following any exercise, adequately refueling the body with a mixture of proteins and carbohydrates should be a priority. As a basic component of the body's hormones, cells, and tissues, healthy fat should not be avoided, but consumed in moderation. Consume high quantities of fruits and vegetables to avoid vitamin and mineral deficiencies, and be sure to drink water before, during, and after exercise.
* Listen to your body. An excessively sore or weak muscle should be given rest. A good rule of thumb is to allow 48 hours before working the same muscle group. If that muscle group is still sore, you may need to wait even longer - sometimes up to 5 days! This may mean that you need to change your training schedule, but sometime the body needs a break from the normal routine!
Often, overtraining is a gradual onset. An individual who begins an exercise routine may be given the impression that if "some is good, then more is better". Typically, when starting into an exercise program, it is easy to lose high amounts of weight almost immediately. When this weight loss levels off (or "plateaus"), the temptation is to work even harder to continue to achieve the same results that initially occured. In doing so, more and more time is spent not only exercising at high intensities for long periods of time, but also fretting and worrying about the apparent lack of results. Overtraining commonly occurs in such a situtation - which just makes the problem worse, since it is even harder to get results when the body is broken down and overtrained!
The body does not grow stronger, fitter, or leaner while you are working out. Instead, rest and recovery outside of exercise allows for repair of damaged muscle fibers, restoration of glycogen stores (muscle fuel), and restoration of hormone levels that are essential for normal bodily function. Proper balance of these components is essential to a healthy body, a high metabolism, decreased levels of fat storage.
So remember to allow yourself to rest, The regeneration that occurs during recovery will allow you to see better results from your training and avoid injury, excessive fatigue, and lack of motivation to exercise. A personal trainer can be a great source for receiving a customized training plan that includes the perfect exercises to achieve the results you desire, with optimal work and recovery ratios. So if you want the best results, consider talking to a fitness professional!
Until then, train smart!

8 Things You Should Know About Hypnosis

Life is brimming with vim and vigor, enough to cause stress and anxiety. This we all know. And because of life's dynamism, we have been all witnesses of how some people easily become overwhelmed by circumstances. Low job performance, decreased interest in life, sleep issues, skin inflammations and addictions are some of the many undesirable symptoms of people's difficulty to manage and cope with life's events.
Recently, however, hypnosis has become a popular method to help anxiety-ridden individuals. These individuals are directed through a couple of effective exercises that will help them cope with demanding situations, alleviate persisting anxieties, and build new ways of perceiving the world. However, it still remains misunderstood. Debate continues. Questions and doubt still linger about its safety and effectiveness.
Here are some truths about hypnosis that you need to know.
1. Hypnosis is real!
Although there is still a need to burrow further into the art of hypnosis, one study showed that children who underwent surgery benefited from hypnosis compared with those under routine care. Parents of the children in the hypnosis group reported that their children experienced lesser trauma and lower distress level. Furthermore, the medical staff reported that the procedure was less difficult to perform compared to the routine care group. The procedural time was also shorter.
2. You cannot be hypnotized without your consent.
Contrary to what many people may believe, hypnosis is not some mind control technique. You can never be hypnotized without your consent. Hypnosis cannot make you do things against your will. In some stage hypnosis shows, it may look like otherwise, but truthfully, participants in these kinds of shows are willing volunteers. They are not made to do what they do not want to do.
The same can be said for those who are hypnotized by a professionally trained hypnotist. They do not surrender to the whims of the hypnotist. The hypnotist's only function is to guide the patients towards an inner state of focused attention. They choose it for themselves in order to reach their goals, nothing more.
3. Genes partly predict who can be hypnotized.
To be easily hypnotized is partly the works of the genes. Though anyone can be hypnotized, others go into this trance state more easily than others because of their inherit traits.
Despite that fact that others are more gifted in this department, there are ways for the non-gifted ones to improve their hypnotic ability. Through the practice of mind and body techniques such as meditation, music therapy, and biofeedback, one can improve their ability to be hypnotized.
4. Hypnosis is related to IQ.
It is untrue to say that people who are unintelligent or weak-minded are the only ones who can be hypnotized. As a matter of fact, people with normal to higher IQ levels tend to have better hypnosis experience compared to below IQ levels. This greater capacity for higher IQ people to be hypnotized is due to their capability to concentrate better.
5. Hypnosis cannot be faked.
People, particularly those who do not believe in the power of hypnosis, fake being under it. However, hypnotists will always know if someone is faking. Physiological symptoms of hypnosis such as twitching of the fingertips, slow movements of the eyes, and change in the pigmentation in the face and neck cannot be faked.
6. Hypnosis can help stop addiction.
Hypnosis helps the mind to focus on a particular crisis and listen to hypnotic suggestions on how to deal with it. It helps addicts curb their addiction by reinforcing positive convictions to the subject in a trance-like state that it is possible for them to live in a world without their addictions. It instills a suggestion into their minds to lose the vices and face the problem in a different and more effective way.
7. Hypnosis can relieve inflammation.
With the body's chemicals and hormones going haywire, allergies, rashes, and bowel inflammations can breakout. These inflammations clearly mark symptoms for anxiety and chronic stress. But with the use of hypnosis, these body responses can be controlled not to swell and inflame. This phenomenon has been clearly recorded by researchers from Barts and The London School for Medicine and Dentistry who conducted a "gut-focused" hypnotherapy on patients suffering from inflammation of the colon. Those subjects who participated in a 50-minute hypnotherapy session have a significant decrease in various markers of inflammation in their blood compared to the control group.
8. Hypnosis Can Improve Over-all Performance
The mind and the body are one, with the mind having complete control over the body. With this, the body can overcome whatever the mind believes it can overcome. If the mind sets itself to be free from anxious thoughts, the body will follow. Symptoms of anxiety will not escalate and remain manageable.
A lot of people believe that hypnosis is just an act popularized and dramatized by stage performers and movie directors. But with the various studies and their compelling results, hypnosis' name has been elevated into that of a real and credible method of managing anxiety-related health problems.

***HEALTHY DOS AND DON'TS: Common Sense Can Prevent and Reverse Almost Any Health Condition

The purpose of this article is to show several specific ways that philosophy can be implemented for making healthy decisions.
Here goes, one idea for each week in the year:
1. Responsibility-Take responsibility for yourself. You alone are the master of your own health destiny.
2. Philosophy-Without the correct roadmap to health, how can that destination ever be reached? Evaluate all life choices with the knowledge that you are a natural creature, designed to live in nature. Veer from this roadmap the least to have the most health.
3. Prevention-Prevention is not a vaccine, pill, or check-up. Obey your genetic design as closely as possible so when illness does occur you can know you have done the best you could.
4. Illness-The first thing to do when you feel ill is to stop eating for the first twenty-four to thirty-six hours. The digestion of food requires immune system attention and diverts the strength and energy the body needs to fight the disease and heal. Drink lots of alkaline water at room temperature or heated (see #6). When the fast is broken, eat no carbohydrates at all. Infections thrive on carbohydrates and in the acidic environment they create. Take probiotic (see #11) supplements immediately and antioxidant supplements after the worst part of the illness has passed.
5. Injury-Heat is a super healer. Heat is life, cold is death. Heat the whole body or the body part to speed recovery. Only use cold for the first few hours after trauma to a body part. Exercise the part as soon as it can be done without undue pain. Heat and exercise improve circulation and bring healing elements to the injury, speed their activity, and ferry debris, toxins, and pathogen carcasses away. For overuse injuries, there is no substitute for resting the part for a time.
6. Water-Try to drink 3-4 quarts of purified (preferably alkaline) water each day. Do it regardless of thirst. Drink more if sweating. Get it all done before supper so you don't have to race to the bathroom all night. Squeeze fresh lemon juice in the water to help reverse acidemia, which virtually everyone in modern society has and which is a fundamental, underlying cause of disease (1-2). Don't wash food down with water. This can lead to overeating and inhibit digestion.
7. Processed oils-Avoid hydrogenated and all other heat processed oils as much as possible. Hydrogenated oils are toxic and heat processed oils are oxidized, making them toxic as well. Best choices for cooking are natural, more heat-stable saturated fats such as butter, and oils such as from coconut, palm, sesame, and olive.
8. Sun-The sun is not the enemy, it is the energy that underlies all life. It has a critical impact on mood, immunity, general health, and vitality. Try to expose as much of the skin as possible to the sun every day for at least 30 minutes or so. In sunlight the skin synthesizes the most important vitamin/hormone in the body, vitamin D. Do not get burned since that can cause genetic damage to the skin. Use natural sunscreens, shade, and clothing to prevent overexposure. Use sun-mimicking, full-spectrum lighting in the home.
9. Cosmetics and personal care products-Read the labels. If the ingredients are not, in principle, edible, don't use them. The skin absorbs similarly to the intestinal tract.
10. Living food-Make raw food the predominant part of the diet. It is what every other creature on the planet eats, so why not learn from their wisdom? Supplement with food enzymes if eating cooked or processed, and therefore enzyme-devoid, foods.
11. Probiotics-Supplement the diet with probiotic cultures and eat foods such as yogurt (non-sugared) and other cultured and fermented products. These friendly bacteria fight pathogens, boost immunity, and synthesize vitamins, enzymes, and other nutritional factors. They are destroyed or thrown out of balance with the use of antibiotics and pharmaceuticals. There are more microorganisms in the intestinal tract than the total number of cells in the body. Grow the right kind and nurture them properly with these 52 principles.
12. Vitamins and minerals-Take full spectrum supplements every day. Modern factory farming and food processing diminish these nutrients in the food supply. The stresses of modern life also increase our needs. Larger doses than contained in the average diet have been proven to prevent and reverse a number of diseases.
13. Antioxidants-Take antioxidant supplements (at least vitamins A, C, and E) and eat fresh fruits and vegetables. The huge oxidant (acid) burden on the body caused by modern living needs to be counteracted.
14. Organic and free range-Foods raised in this way are higher in nutrients and lower in toxins. Such farming methods are environmentally friendly and more sustainable. Send a message to the industrial, petrochemical farm by diverting dollars to those who have foresight and conscience. Free-range foods are more nutritious (they follow the principle of #2) and are raised more humanely. A clear choice.
15. Nontoxic home-Choose the least toxic home construction materials and cleaning supplies.
16. Lab tests-Avoid medical tests unless there is a manifest problem and a test will make a difference in terms of effective treatment. False positives can kill with the stress of worry; false negatives send a person on their merry way while disease continues to grow. Also, if you feel healthy, be very skeptical of any test that attempts to tell you differently, and most certainly be hesitant to begin dangerous medical interventions based upon it.
17. Clinical tests-Do not assume tests such as prostate, colon, and breast screenings are necessary. They are unproven and are not 'prevention.' They put a person in the medical mill and divert attention from where it belongs: taking control of one's own health destiny. (This 'anti-medical' advice will make more sense after the next section.)
18. Variety-Eat a variety of foods but not at each meal. Variety decreases the odds of toxicity and broadens the spectrum of nutrients. It is not necessary to get every nutrient in the universe at each meal. Relax, your body has reserve capacity. Try to eat no more than two categories at a meal. For example, for supper, eat meat and a salad.
19. Cooking-Do as little of it as possible. Heat is the enemy of nutrients. When cooking, use high temperature for short time to preserve the most nutritional value. Quick grilling, double contact table top type grills, and the new steam ovens are good choices.
20. Dairy-If you choose to eat dairy products, get raw, non- homogenized, and non-pasteurized milk, cheeses, and yogurt if they can be found. If not, eat whole milk yogurts. Some people find a dairy farm where they can buy part of a cow and then legally obtain raw whole milk from it.
21. Omega-3 fatty acids-The modern diet is deficient in this critical class of fatty acids. To increase them, eat more cold water fish (if they are not laden with mercury or other toxins), wild meat, grass-fed meats, raw vegetables, and tree nuts. Fatty acid supplements are also a good idea to make up for the deficit, but be sure they are of the highest quality, properly protected with natural antioxidants, kept in the refrigerator, and protected from light and air.
22. Dental health-Diseased gums and teeth can seed the body with infection and depress the immune system. Keep teeth clean and do not permit dental procedures that destroy or remove tooth structure unless there is no alternative. If repair is needed, do not use toxic mercury/silver amalgam; use porcelain or gold instead and find a dentist who understands this. Find a holistic dentist who uses new technologies such as tooth-preserving laser.
23. Vaccines-Avoid them. Health is the best immunity. If taken, the killed varieties in oral or nasal form are most natural and safe. Don't believe the promotion of flu vaccines which studies have shown to be ineffective (3-4). Use natural supplements with scientifically proven immune stimulating and antipathogen properties, such as selenium, quercetin, tumeric, echinacia, astragalus, burdock root, goldenseal, vitamin D, and probiotics. Hydrating with a gallon of alkaline water per day does wonders in preventing and reversing infections (5-6).
24. Pharmaceuticals-Avoid symptom-based medications if at all possible. Removing symptoms does not cure disease, and there are just too many potential adverse side effects. No disease was ever caused by a deficiency of a pharmaceutical and therefore a pharmaceutical cannot be the answer (7).
25. Radiation-Avoid it if at all possible. All radiation is harmful and cumulative (8).
26. Don't diet-Just change foods, eating habits, and lifestyle. That will automatically solve weight problems. Skip a meal unless it is deserved due to physical exertion. Eating is not recreation, and to eat more than deserved is unethical (as explained in a coming chapter).
27. Eat less-Eating less does more to extend life than almost anything else that can be done. Don't eat unless hungry, and stop when the feeling of fullness begins.
28. Avoid sugar-Refined sugar is an unnatural food and is addictive and toxic.
29. Avoid grains-Grains are an unnatural food (in their raw form they are toxic) and in their refined white flour form are just another form of sugar. If they are eaten, whole grains are more nutritious. Sprouted grains are the healthiest form since sprouting converts grains to vegetables which can even be eaten raw (9).
30. Avoid hospitals and doctors' offices-More disease and death is created in this environment than cured. Except for emergencies, stay away and learn how to take care of yourself.
31. Nurse infants-The breast is the fountain of health, not just an item of adornment for adults. Formula is the granddaddy of all junk foods. Children raised on it suffer in innumerable ways throughout life. Even the incidence of something as obscure as myopia (nearsightedness) is decreased by breastfeeding (10).
32. Circumcision-Just say no. Circumcision is mutilation and removes functional aspects of the penis. If circumcised, learn how to uncircumcise (restore the foreskin). Those who do this come to understand what was lost.
33. Four white poisons-White flour, sugar, processed oil, and refined salt are unnatural, nutrient-stripped toxins. Avoid them or replace them with their whole natural counterparts.
34. Sunscreens-Don't use the synthetic versions unless there is no alternative. They permit overexposure and potential skin damage. If in danger of burning, cover with clothes, seek shade, and limit sun exposure until acclimated.
35. Sleep-Getting at least seven to eight hours of sleep or closed eye rest each day is essential. If sleeplessness is a problem, get more physically active during the day. If unable to sustain sleep at night, be sure to take a nap during the day.
36. Nap-Take a mid-day nap for rejuvenation. Even a few minutes can make a huge difference in the rest of the day.
37. Timing-Mornings are usually best for mental activity, afternoons for physical. Listen to your own rhythms and obey.
38. Nature-Try to get outside for a time every day. Take vacations in nature. The mind and body need rejuvenation by regularly getting reacquainted with where we came from.
39. Serious disease-Act now to prevent it. If stricken with cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, or the like, reflect on what YOU have done to cause it. Do not just surrender to the medical machine. Get many opinions, study hard, and research all alternative therapies. Give acupuncture, herbs, natural diet, homeopathy, naturopathy, and other natural therapies a chance. Alternative medicine at least tries to address causes, which is a leg up on conventional medicine that focuses on naming and categorizing diseases, and treating their symptoms (11).
40. Beverages-Avoid them like the plague. Soft drinks and the like (including fruit drinks) are addictive, acidifying, and a sugar and chemical assault. Drink water. Juice whole fruits and veggies if chewing is too much of a chore.
41. Glasses-Avoid them until there is no alternative. Glasses are like crutches in that they weaken the very organ needing strength. Explore exercise methods to improve vision. (There are several methods available. Search the Internet under natural vision improvement.") Consider pinhole glasses to relax the eyes and permit close vision more naturally. Use them for reading and computer work.
42. Don't be silly-Smoking, drinking, drugs, not wearing a seat belt, and standing on the top of a stepladder are invitations for disaster. Do the common sense things to give life and health the best odds.
43. Local foods-Whatever the climate, the foods that are grown there are the healthiest for residents there. Tropical foods are best in the tropics and northern foods best for the cold.
44. 100% complete-Don't be fooled. Talk is cheap. Nobody knows how to make a 100% complete food since nobody has 100% complete knowledge of nutrition or our biology.
45. Swimming pools-The skin is an absorbing organ. Unless you're of the opinion that a whopping dose of chlorine (a potent oxidant), algaecides, and colorants are a good idea to have circulating in your bloodstream, find natural water or pools that have been ozonated, treated with ultraviolet light, or otherwise maintained. If using a chlorinated pool, limit the time in it and shower thoroughly after.
46. House plants-Grow lots of them. They filter the air, produce oxygen, and add life to the home.
47. Fat and cholesterol-Eat it so long as it has not been unduly heat processed. Natural fats, oils, and cholesterol (the body makes this every day to create hormones and other healthy biochemicals) are the premier energy source. If dietary carbohydrates are displaced by fats and proteins on a calorie for calorie basis (not that you should count calories), the body will store less fat and be more inclined to burn the fat that is trying to hide in those pudgy little rolls.
48. Ventilate-Bring fresh air into the home and exhaust the old. Use a heat exchange unit to capture the heat. To freshen indoor air use negative ion generators and filters. Use a central vacuum system that exhausts to the outside.
49. Fever-The heat of fever is the body's mechanism for destroying pathogens and speeding immune response. So why run for an aspirin to bring the temperature down so the pathogens can proliferate? Believe nature, not a pharmaceutical company.
50. Food for age-The young and the old have the highest demands for quality food. Supplements and nutrient dense foods high in protein and micronutrients are critical for the young because of their growth demands, and for the elderly because of their decreased ability to assimilate nutrients.
51. Garbage-Judge health by garbage. The more compost created (veggie, fruit, meat, nut, egg, and dairy scrap), the healthier. The more processed food packaging garbage at the curb, the less health can be expected.
52. Birthday suit-We were not born with, nor designed to wear, clothes. Live where the least amount of them are required. Get them off at every opportunity such as in bed and for full body sun and air baths wherever you will not get arrested.
You will note that healthy choices are usually not in accord with conventional wisdom, commercial interests, and popular practices. You must be wrong in order to be right by paying attention to your natural genetic roots, and the SOLVER principles-self-responsibility, open thinking, long-term view, virtuous intent, evidence, and reason.
Taking control of your own health destiny becomes particularly important when faced with the tremendous pressures, propaganda, and dangers of the modern medical machine.

Conquer Indigestion Through A Natural Intestinal Cleanse

9 out of 10 people suffer from these minor discomforts as well either as a result of their current health conditions or simply because of stress, too much food to eat and/or hormonal imbalances. But what if I told you that you can actually fight these discomforts through diet, would you believe it?

What is Intestinal Cleanse?

Intestinal or Colon Cleans is just one of the most simple and yet effective ways to remove toxins and even free radicals from your body through diet. This is a process of engaging in a specific (well planned-out) diet that aims to help combat problems like indigestion, gas pain, cramps, constipation and bloating. It is a means of using natural products to increase intestinal motility (intestinal movements) to remove accumulated toxins from your system.

What are the benefits of Colon Cleans?

- Increased absorption of nutrients for optimum usage of the body
- Less bloating, gas pains, constipation and other intestinal health problems
- Possible weight loss
- Decreases the chance of developing colon cancer while increasing the survival rate among victims of the said disease
- Restoration of good elimination pattern
- And other health problems caused by poor nutrition and bad digestion

How is Intestinal Cleanse Done?

This Holistic Detox process can be done in the convenience of your own home or in a private clinic that provides such services to individuals. The objective of Intestinal or Colon Cleans is to remove surgery out of the picture. Now you all know that people with bad digestion and poor nutrition can have diseases that may require surgery in the physician's book. But, even if you're a candidate for a major operation because of your disease you still have a chance to correct everything without going through the knife. However, if you've already had surgery in the past; it is still best to turn to Intestinal Cleanse to make sure you'll be as healthy as you once were.

Colon cleansing is by ingesting or consuming high- fiber liquid diet or by taking in colon cleansing supplements to correct your indigestion. These products are all natural to help you be relieved off your symptoms. You can certainly make your own formula or purchase one which is already ready for consumption.

The Surf Diet

“The Surf Diet” eliminates the fitness confusion. More than a diet, it is a lifestyle for everyone who intends to look good in a bathing suit – not only surfers, as researched by Chris Mo'e and “The Surf Lady.” Even stay at home moms can go from the ironing board to the surfboard look.

Studies show that most diets fail within the first two weeks. What makes The Surf Diet designed to be failproof is the built in mechanism which “forces” you to cheat as part of the lifestyle. Sounds to good to be true? Read on. Real change comes from motivation coupled with rock solid planning.

Forget Biggest Loser Boot Camps and everything you heard from A-Z (Atkins to Zone) because carbs CAN be your friends – depending on the time of day you eat them. If you follow these four simple points:*eat smaller meals *eat more often *learn nutrition basics and *move around more, you will certainly obtain the body you want. Trying not to cheat only makes you want to; regulated “cheating” ensures you will maintain The Surf Diet and also throws off your metabolism which actually facilitates permanent weight reduction. Success comes from building a habit and making a just a few wise choices to replace other ones, because eating only an extra two french fries a day will put on 40 pounds over 10 years if you don't know how to incorporate it in a healthy manner.
