How Pure Is Your Diet?

If you are like most in the civilized world, your diet is probably quite a bit less than pure. Meaning, although you may eat healthy, you still have toxins in your body, in part from the foods you eat. Also from the air we breathe, the water we drink(chlorinated and fluoridated waters are not clean waters ~ very harmful toxins), the clothing we wear, the bedding we sleep in.

The body absorbs minute particles which are in the air, food, and water we are in and around. Many people will argue that those are just minute particles. And yet, how many minute particles does it take to become a health hazard? We have so much in our lives that we, ideally, should be constantly detoxing.

If you would like to know just how much you need to cleanse your body, you can visit Dr Janet Starr Hull's website here, where you can ask for a hair analysis, which will show you the toxins, including heavy metals, that are in your body. Your hair is a wonderful gauge of how you are healthwise.

If you believe that fluoridated water is good for you, it may be wise for you to do some searching outside the dental industry. According to a prominent medical doctor, the ADA had a 25 year gag order on fluoride, so your dentist was not allowed to tell you the hazards. And this apparently was not the only gag order. Too much money to be made apparently, if things were left alone.

BBQ's. Good For You?

“If your summer plans include a backyard barbeque, you could get burned – and not just by the sun. You probably know that grilling produces cancer-causing heterocyclic amines (HCAs), but did you know that foods cooked at high temperatures are loaded with harmful chemicals called advanced glycation end products (AGEs)?

…AGEs form when proteins react with sugars during cooking, and the higher the temperature and the longer the cooking time, the greater the number of AGEs. AGEs accelerate the aging process by interfering with cell function. And it doesn’t take years to see the damage. A study of diabetics found that eating a diet high in AGEs for six weeks increased blood levels of inflammatory compounds linked to cardiovascular disease and diabetic complications by 28 percent and raised harmful LDL cholesterol by 32 percent.

Following a low-AGE diet for six weeks reduced inflammatory markers by 40 percent and LDL cholesterol by 33 percent. Similar trends were seen for blood pressure and blood sugar levels. To protect yourself from AGE-related damage, prepare foods by steaming, boiling, poaching, and lightly sautéing rather than broiling, microwaving, and deep frying. And see Drwhitaker.com for marinades that will reduce HCAs and add a safe sizzle to your backyard barbecue.” (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2002; 99:15596-601)

ADD. Is It Just For Kids?

We all hear how so many of our children appear to be suffering from ADD. And while many of them are, I believe quite a few are simply fed the wrong diets, and sometimes simply mis-managed.

Diet has a huge impact on a person's behavior, especially a child's behavior. Gummy Bears for instance, have a ton of artificial this and that, that cause many children to end up literally climbing the walls.

Check out the this site, and see how YOU rate for ADD symptoms.

If your child really does have ADD, or you do, one thing I have found that helps tremendously with children, is applying an essential oil blend called "Peace And Calming" on their feet as they go to bed for the night. It only takes a drop or two, and....what if it worked in your case? Would be well worth it wouldn't it?

A phenomenal method of revitalizing your body and mind.

The Value Of Meditation

There is no doubt that meditation is incredibly powerful, for enhancing your energy and helping your brain to work better.

Lots of experts out there singing the praises of meditation, and how good it is for you. Deepak Chopra said in his seminar, "There is nothing more valuable than meditation.

Regular meditation can even help balance pH levels in your body. Balancing your pH is one of the best ways to feel better, lose weight and be healthier.

Stress, causes us to become acidic, even faster than a poor diet. Meditation is the best stress anecdote I know of.

Meditation is wonderful for improving brain function and balancing PH.

I know from my own personal experience, that meditation is sometimes easier to make happen when you have guided meditations to listen to. What I do now is primarily focus initially on the pineal gland in the center of the head, and visualize energy coming in from all directions. See in your mind the pineal gland physically opening. The pineal gland is shaped similar to a pine cone, but you can see it in your mind as anything you desire.

With meditation you can learn much about life, about yourself, about truth. If you've never done meditation before and would like to try, check out this site.

Meditation has been in use by most cultures since before recorded history began, and it continues today, and is becoming much more commonly used and referenced. Give it a try. It won't hurt you. And it may help you clear some of your limiting beliefs.
