I would like to know some great motivation stories for getting back to healthy lifestyle?

Top weight loss tips

Today there is too much information available on losing weight that has become more confusing and sometimes difficult to follow. It’s actually very easy to lose weight if you follow my weight loss tips.

* Be in right frame of mind

Before you can start any diet program you need to be in the right frame of mind. If you do not feel good about yourself you probably will not want to choose healthy foods. You cannot expect the act of going on a diet to make you feel better about yourself. The only way you can choose to eat a healthy diet to lose weight is if you have a positive self-image.

* Eat whole food

Top weight loss tips

Eat whole foods that are as natural as possible. When you eat whole foods that are full of nutrients your body will know how much to eat and how much not to eat. You do not have to count calories because your body is a wonderful machine.

* Eat fresh fruit

Eat at least two servings of fresh fruit every day. Choose whatever type of fruit is in season.

* Drink enough water

Drink the best weight loss supplement known to man, water. Most people do not know the difference from being hungry for food or thirsty for water. A great deal of times people eat when they should drink. Most likely you will not feel as hungry if you are getting enough water. You will be satisfying the thirst, which is confused for hunger. Water also helps you digest food better. Drinking water before you eat will help fill you up.

* Always chew your food

Always chew your food well. Chewing your food well will ensure that you get the most nutrients out of your food. Getting the most nutrients will satisfy your body therefore you will eat less. Another benefit of chewing well is that it helps aid in digestion.

* Take small meals

Eat small, frequent meals in a day. Large meals tax your digestion system, making it work harder. Taking too much time in between meals makes you hungrier for the next meal.

* Include protein at meal

Include good sources of protein at meal, chicken, fish, legumes, peanut, cottage cheese, eggs or yogurt.

* Shut off TV while eating

Shut off the TV whenever you eat – that includes meals and snacks. Studies show that we automatically eat larger portions when we snack in front of the tube, and typically those foods are high in fat and sugar, which means excess calories!

* Increase your physical activity

Increase your physical activity. Most people are over weight because of a lack of physical activity. Start walking more, bicycling, walks your dog for longer periods of time, swim, dance and leave the car at home when you can. It’s important that you choose a physical activity that you enjoy because you’ll stick with it.

I got back from visiting my son this past August; when I got home I saw pictures of myself in a bathing suit and wanted to cry. So I joined Curves (they take $29.00 a month out of my checking account but recently they advertised $19.00 for a special promotion). I started going 5 days a week, Mon - Fri for just 30 minutes a day, I watched my calorie intake and one day either Sat or Sun I exercised at home using any method I wanted. I do not drink any sugared drinks, occasionally I'll have a diet Pepsi but mostly I drink water. I have only lost 7 lbs since Sept 18th but I've lost 3 inches in my waist, 4 inches in my hips, and 4 inches around my belly! I am thrilled. My blood pressure is the best it's ever been and my cholesterol went down close to 100 points. I cheated over the holidays so am right back to going 5 days a week and continuing my regimen. Once you start and see results you'll be amazed at how you just make exercising and eating right part of your daily routine. You are on the right track, honey. You'll do great, I'm routing for you!!!

For me the biggest motivation to get back to a healthy lifestyle has been to continue to enjoy good health. Even when I was not living a consistently healthy lifestyle I felt well, for the most part. As the years have rolled by I've begun to experience "aging"- poorer vision, physical changes, increased irritability, etc. So I have aggressively adopted a comprehensively healthy, non-medication, relatively stress-free lifestyle to hold on to what I have for as long as I can, improve in some areas, and continue to be able to enjoy all life has to offer.

I want to be able to participate in the lives of my children when they are my age. To do so I need to stay as healthy as possible. Plus, I don't like pain and deterioration, so why not put it off for as long as possible?

Someone once said we spend the majority of our life attempting to avoid pain and increase pleasure. Choosing to live a healthy lifestyle is a realistic and sensible way to do that.

It's all about choices; I hope you choose to do the same!

This summary details a major breakthrough in detoxifying the human body of the

carcinogens, heavy metals, viruses, bacteria, fungi, and overall acid conditions that

promote and cause disease.

Some 70,000 chemicals are being dumped into our environment, 65,000 of which are

potentially hazardous to our health. We live in a virtual sea of pollutants, and carry many

of these toxins within us. They can be found even in unborn children. A 2004 study by

the Environmental Working Group identified 287 industrial chemicals in babies’ umbilical-

cord blood, including 180 known to cause cancer and 217 that are toxic to the brain and

nervous system.

In my research to develop a detoxification system for prospective mothers, I recently

learned about a naturally occurring mineral called zeolite, which has a unique, negatively

charged, crystalline structure. Zeolite is formed from the fusion of lava and ocean water,

and combines all four elements. I feel that zeolite is an alchemical gift from God. It has

been used for more than 800 years in Asia as a remedy for overall health and well-being,

and is on the FDA’s GRAS list (generally recognized as safe). Zeolite is available

commercially in a purified, activated form, in the zeolite product.

The results of research on zeolite are very impressive:

1. Zeolite appears to prevent and may become an important treatment for cancer. In

one study, 78 percent of the 65 participants with terminal cancer (all types) are now in

complete remission for 12 months (LifeLink Pharmaceuticals, 2005).

2. It has a chelation-like effect in removing heavy metals (particularly lead, mercury,

cadmium, and arsenic), pesticides, herbicides, PCBs, and other toxins from the body.

These toxins are strongly correlated with the occurrence of a wide range of diseases,

including cancers and neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s, autism, and dementia.

3. Zeolite also improves liver function, indirectly improving elimination of pesticides,

herbicides, and xeno-estrogens.

4. Zeolite appears to block viral replication, and may prove to be a potent anti-viral

and general remedy for all viruses. To date, 40 anecdotal cases of herpes zoster have

reportedly been healed. Preliminary anecdotal case studies suggest that it may help

alleviate rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and hepatitis C as well as the common

cold and flu.

5. Zeolite’s binding power was proven during the Chernobyl disaster, when tons of it

were used to remove radioactive cesium and strontium-90 before they contaminated

local water systems.

6. Zeolite creates a natural buffer in the system by establishing an optimal pH level

(between 7.35 and 7.45), which in turn activates healthy brain function and a strong

immune system.

7. It shows promise as an effective detoxifier for prospective mothers. Recently, at

the Tree of Life Rejuvenation Center, Zeolite was added to the protocol for the 10-day

detoxification program for prospective mothers.

In two women who just completed the program, toxins in their breast tissue dropped

significantly – from 12 in one and 13 in the other to only two – over the course of seven

days.

Although anecdotal evidence and centuries of use in Asia suggest that zeolite is safe to

use even during pregnancy and breastfeeding, its safe use in pregnancy has not been

proven in double-blind studies.

8. According to testimonials, zeolite promotes a sense of well-being, clarity, and

happiness. It appears to do this as a consequence of eliminating toxins and also,

according to preliminary research, by increasing serotonin production. One study

suggests that zeolite also helps relieve depression.

9. Anecdotal reports suggest that zeolite increases energy, immune function, and

general health.

10. Zeolite neutralizes the formation of nitrosamines in the stomach. Found in

processed meats, nitrosamines are one cause of stomach cancer. Another positive effect

on the stomach, according to many anecdotal reports, is relief of acid reflux.

11. Testimonials suggest that zeolite captures triggering antigens, which cause

allergies, migraines, and asthma, decreasing the rate and severity of these symptoms.

12. Zeolite directly absorbs free radicals and thus decreases free radical activity and

damage to the body.

Are you getting laid?

My mother was a Doctor of Medicine with a Masters Degree in Public Health and had an illustrious career in a prestigious hospital in New York City. However, she ended up being a stroke, paralyzed patient for 10 years. I deeply regret the fact that I was not able to help her healthwise if I had known what I know now at that time when I was caring for her.

You asked for 10 really good reasons to be healthy, here they are.

We are alkaline bodies by design, but acid generating by function. Acid is produced by the parietal cells of the stomach to aid in digestion, and acid is consumed in organic form in fruit. However, other than the stomach, no part of the body should be acid.

Despite this, one of the most widespread and insidious causes of illness that plague our society is acidosis - an accumulation of more acid than the body can effectively process. Patients often initially consult a doctor seeking relief from symptoms of a chronic condition - arthritis, diabetes, emphysema, arteriosclerosis, or cancer. Regardless of the particular symptomatology, all of these conditions originate with an increase in the amount of acid in the body.

Acidosis is generally seen by medical science as a part of the pathology of several different diseases including impaired liver function. It is encountered often enough to be assumed to be normal; however, acidosis is definitely not normal. It is the forerunner of most, if not all, chronic degenerative diseases including cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and heart disease. These diseases are rampant enough to be considered epidemic in our country.

Acidosis is often a covert condition in that the patient feels good in the early stages of acid accumulation. In fact, he may boast of an exaggerated feeling of well-being and an unusually high level of energy. Unfortunately, this is an inaccurate perception resulting from the "stimulatory" reaction of the body's regulatory systems that are operating in high gear to process the excess acid. Both the good feeling and high energy level will disappear as more acid accumulates. In a continued effort to maintain alkalinity, the neutralizing alkaline reserves are depleted and the liver becomes increasingly congested and is unable to perform its function of detoxification. When the extra cellular and intracellular fluids lose their alkalinity, the person is considered to be in a condition of acidosis.

♦ ATTITUDE AND ACIDOSIS

Prolonged periods of acidosis affect not only the physical condition but also the mental and emotional states of patients. Similarly, mental attitude can affect the physical state. It is possible for a person to maintain a diet high in fruits and vegetables and still be acid. Regardless of the diet followed, the person who is negative in his outlook on life is acid.

Negative thoughts act to stimulate the action of the adrenal glands that in turn speed up the body's metabolic activity. As this occurs, more acid is produced and since the process is continuous, the amount of acid overpowers the alkaline from the good food and the net result is acid. And the cycle can be perpetuated; the more acid we become, the more negative, defensive, argumentative and unpleasant we become. The pessimist who can find nothing good about anything is almost certainly in some degree of acidosis.

♦ SYMPTOMS OF ACIDOSIS

Symptoms of prolonged acidosis that are caused by the consumption of excess protein can easily be mistaken for individual character or personality traits. However, definite attitudes and mannerisms develop as a result of the super-charged internal activity of the body as it works toward ridding itself of the damaging excess acid. The person who is on a high-protein diet moves through a progression of symptoms.

Initially, they . . .

•Has an exaggerated sense of well-being

•Is a high achiever, a "mover and shaker"

•Believes himself to be perfectly well

•Is overly ambitious and restless due to the irritation of the nerves.

Later they......

•Sees only the pessimistic side of issues and life

•Can't sleep restfully

•Wakes up as tired in the morning as he was when he went to bed

•Constantly finds fault with everyone and everything

•Is tired and experiences generalized aches and pains

•Becomes irritable, ill tempered, and difficult to please

•Shows signs of "aging" as the body removes alkalizing substances from the muscles then calcium from the bones

Although everyone who is suffering from acidosis does not experience all of these symptoms, it is helpful for the practitioner to be able to correlate some "personality traits" with clinical findings and to recognize indications that the patient's body is over taxed and headed toward chronic degenerative disease.

♦ 10 Reasons To Avoid Acidosis

1.Corrodes Arteries, Veins and Heart Tissues

Like acid eating into marble, acidosis erodes and eats into cell wall membranes of the heart, arteries and veins, weakening cardiovascular structures and inter connective tissues.

2.Accelerates Free-Radical Damage and Premature Aging

Acidosis causes partial lipid breakdown and destructive oxidative cascades. This accelerates Free Radical Damage of cell walls and intracellular membrane structures, which then unravel, killing cells in the process. Acidosis is thus thought to be the first step toward premature aging, accelerating oxidative cascades of cell wall destruction, creating wrinkling, age spots, dysfunctional hormonal systems, interfering with eyesight, memory, and a host of other age-related phenomena.

3.Causes Weight Gain, Diabetes and Obesity

An acid pH has considerable influence over the majority of weight problems, including Diabetes and Obesity. It seems that a habitually acid pH can directly cause immediate weight gain. Here's what happens when a system is too acid. A condition known as Insulin Sensitivity or Syndrome X results, which forces too much insulin to be produced, and the body is flooded with insulin so that it won't waste any calories, it diligently converts every calorie it can into fat.

It is thought that an acid pH immediately signals the powerful genetic response to an impending famine, directly interacting with the all important and very sensitive, Insulin- Glucagons Axis. This makes the body produce more insulin than usual, and in turn, produce more fat and store it. In general, the more insulin is available to the body, the higher the probability that fat will be produced and stored, rather than used and burned as energy.

Thus, an acid pH will probably alert the genetic response to famine, directing more insulin to be produced and storing more fat than usual. Conversely, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH, will be more likely to yield normal fat burning metabolic activity, making no demands on the body to overly produce insulin and make fat, allowing fat-weight to be burned and naturally lost. And, with a healthy pH, there's less likely to be any yo-yo effect, or rebounding from a diet with additional weight gain. As long as nutritional stores are maintained, a healthy, slightly alkaline pH allows fat to burn normally for energy, rather than being hoarded under the mistaken biochemical belief of an impending famine.

With increased pressure to produce insulin under the worst conditions, beta cells lose phase with one another, cellular communication is thwarted and the Immune System begins to over-respond. Stress within the cells increases, making it difficult for them to perform adequately, and further, survive. In a very real sense, they simply burn out! Acidosis is thus thought an important yet often underestimated precursor to Diabetes Mellitus. Interestingly, before the advent of synthetic insulin, diabetes was treated historically by buffering the system with base or alkaline causing powders.

4.Causes Cholesterol Plaque to Form

LDL-Cholesterol is laid down at an accelerated rate within an acid chemical environment of the cardiovascular system, inappropriately lining the vascular network, and clogging up the works! The amount of cholesterol in the diet has not been found to be a major factor in cholesterol plaque formation. Rather, pH status appears to be the factor more directly involved, binding cholesterol with heavy metals and other cellular debris.

5.Disrupts Blood Pressure

With acidosis, (pH<7.20) arteries become dilated. Yet, severe lowering of blood pH also causes persistent venous vasoconstriction (a disease in the caliber of blood vessels). When this happens, peripheral blood is shifted more centrally: the more acidic the patient, the greater the fractional redistribution of blood to the central vessels. This central redistribution of blood adds to the heart's workload when its contractibility is compromised.

6.Disrupts Critical Lipid and Fatty Acid Metabolism

Acidosis disrupts general lipid and fatty acid metabolism within the body. Fatty acids are intimately involved in nerve and brain function. When fatty acid metabolism is disturbed, neurological problems may arise including Multiple Sclerosis, Macular Degeneration and others, as well as problems with hormonal balance within the endocrine system.

7.Inhibits Metabolism of Stored Energy Reserves

An acid pH inhibits efficient cellular and body metabolism. Acidosis causes chemical ionic disturbances, interfering with cellular communications and functions. Acidosis reduces Ca (calcium) binding of plasma proteins, reducing the effectiveness of this intracellular signal. Acidosis also leads to a disease of calcium cations (positive Ca) entry through positive Ca channels, resulting in reduction of cardiac contractibility, or the ability of the heart to pump efficiently and rhythmically.

Also, positive Ca and positive H (Hydrogen) regulate the activity of intracellular proteins and are driven out of cells, because of the "Sodium-Potassium pump" (Na-K pump), which provides a strong incentive for sodium to be driven into cells. There are some 10 times the amount of positive Na in extra cellular fluids than in cells. The Sodium-Potassium pump regulates the amount of sodium and potassium each cell in the body stores, and uses up as much as 25% of our caloric input per day to run. Positive Ca exchanges the positive Na, being forced out of cells, but naturally, the electrochemical gradient for positive Ca favours both positive H and positive Ca entry into cells, as there is less calcium and positive H in cells than in the extra cellular fluids.

Therefore, in acid solutions, less sodium will be present, slowing down the processing and induction of nutritional items going into cells. (Calcium may become inordinately leached from bone mass, causing osteoporosis.) An acid pH drains us of energy and disallows stored energy reserves to be used. Furthermore calcium may become inordinately leached from bone mass, causing osteoporosis.

8.Inhibits Cellular Regeneration & DNA-RNA Synthesis (Cancer)

For DNA-RNA synthesis and healthy cell proliferation to occur, cell pH must not be acidic. However, cancerous cells grow well in acidic mediums; therefore an acid pH actually accelerates and increases the possibility of cellular mutations (Cancer).

CANCEROUS CELLS DO NOT CONTAIN HYDROGEN ATOMS. WHEN HEALTHY CELLS HAVE PLENTY OF HYDROGEN THEY CANNOT BECOME CANCEROUS. IF WE CAN GET HYDROGEN INTO ANY UNHEALTHY CELLS, THEY CAN HEAL.

9.Inhibits Oxygen Getting to the Tissue

Acidosis or an acid pH decreases the amount of oxygen that can be delivered to cells, making normally healthy cells unhealthy so eventually they die.

10.Inhibits Life Giving Electrolyte Activity

Life-essential functions, like electrolyte Potassium (K plus) and Sodium (Na plus) channels, are inactivated by acidosis. This has far reaching effects cardiovascular, since without sufficient electrolyte management, heart attacks are likely to occur. Without appropriate electrolyte management, our heart literally stops beating. Inhibition of electrolyte activity also affects the way we feel and behave, and is intimately involved in the energy levels we experience, because of the nature of the Na-K Pump and cellular metabolism.
