Eat healthy and apply them to burn calories and you’ll be amazed at the results in no time. You have no excuses now, because time is not a factor.

* Instead of sitting down with your paper and coffee in the morning place your paper on counter or table top and run in place while you read.

* Fast walk or slow jog around the house. ( might not work in office )

* Shadow boxing, just like the famous boxers do, will burn tons of calories.

* If you have stairs, do some laps up and down a few times a day.

* Isometric exercises: ( resistance training without weights or equipment ) Very effective when used properly. Examples: Stand parallel to a wall and press your fist against it as hard as you can, ( builds upper arm latoid muscles ) or a good fat burner is to slow jog while flexing your muscles and shadow boxing.

Fasting is anti-aging because it rids your body of toxins, which impair your longevity health. In addition, it helps to control your weight, which is often an aging factor.

Fasting is the most efficient and effective way of detoxification.

What is fasting?

Fasting is voluntary abstinence from food and drink, except water, for an extended period.

Fasting is not starvation which is abstinence continued beyond your body’s nutrient reserves. In other words, starvation may exhaust your body’s stored nutrients to the point of presenting health hazards, while fasting is still “consuming” the nutrient reserves stored in your body. There is a big difference.

Fasting has many therapeutic benefits. Fasting accelerates the self-healing process of your body, thereby enabling your body to recover speedily from any disease. Fasting temporarily stops the continuing work of your digestive system, instrumental in reserving energy for your self-healing. Your body may now utilize the energy for self-healing, which otherwise normally might be expended on secreting digestive enzymes to break down the food for distribution of nutrients throughout your body.

Fasting slows down your aging process by keeping your arteries young (often hardened by cholesterol, fats, inorganic minerals and fibrous tissues). Fasting facilitates the removal of accumulated substances that may damage cell functions, thereby slowing down your aging process and extending your lifespan.

Fasting may alleviate your body pain and rid your body of drug dependence. Remember, longevity is often a drug-free life.

Fasting relieves the burden of not only your digestive tract, but also your liver and kidneys, which have to work extra hard to remove additives and toxins accumulated in your body through improper eating.

Fasting produces powerful detoxifying effects in your body not achievable by any diet, restricted or supplemented.

Fasting decreases your blood pressure by softening your blood vessels.

Fasting activates the immune system in your body.

Fasting removes the cause of any chronic disease you may have by removing the toxins, not just the symptoms, as in the case of medication.

Fasting facilitates you, if you are a smoker, to quit smoking during a fast.

Essentially, there is only one type of fasting: pure water fasting. Juice fasting is not fasting: it is not anti-inflammatory; only pure water fasting is. Vegetable or fruit fasting is not fasting: it is more of a healthful diet. Only pure water fasting is complete and total fasting, which has the capability to break down fat, abnormal cells, plaque, and even tumors. Pure water fasting is the most efficient natural method of detoxification.

How safe is fasting?

Fasting is both natural and safe. Your body system has the capability to fast, and your body has the ability to fast safely. Generally, it takes more than forty days to exhaust all the nutrients stored in your body. That is why in the Bible Jesus fasted for forty days. In general, your body will still have more than adequate reserves of proteins, fats, minerals, and vitamins to maintain its normal function during a fast. In fact, during a fast, your body conserves its muscle and lean body tissues.

For centuries, people have practiced fasting all over the world.

Animals instinctively fast when they are sick or wounded. However, humans in similar situations erroneously believe they need to eat to regain strength, thus making them even sicker and weaker.

To prepare for a fast, eat more vegetables and fruits prior to a fast. Reduce the consumption of meat, and refrain from eating any meat the day before a fast.

During a fast, your body naturally increases mucous production to wash away viruses and infected cells. It may even induce a slight fever to activate your immune system. Your body discharges toxins and chemicals through your skin, mucous membranes, liver, and kidneys. Due to hormonal and metabolic changes, you may feel slightly colder. That is natural and normal. Just keep warm to conserve your energy and to facilitate rapid elimination. One common phenomenon is dehydration through excessive loss of water. Drinking more water is recommended during a fast.

You no longer have any bowel movement after the first day. That, too, is normal.

During a fast, you need less sleep than usual. You are fully refreshed with from three to six hours of sleep. A fast is invigorating.

Remember, the more you fast, the less uncomfortable you will feel. Normal functioning of the body will resume upon removal of all causes of functional impairment.

On the first day, you feel pangs of hunger, and a white coating forms on your tongue. On the second day, you begin to feel gradual dissipation of hunger, and there is more white coating on your tongue. On the third day, you may feel complete disappearance of hunger and the clearance of coating on your tongue.

The first three days of a fast are most challenging. However, once the challenge is overcome, you are well on the way to rejuvenation of your entire body. A clear tongue and clean breath are a good indication that the cleansing is more or less complete.

The length of a fast depends very much on an individual. The following is just a general guideline: a one-day fast, as often as required, preferably weekly, for good maintenance; a three-to-four-day fast for general health and well being, several times a year; a two-week fast for complete internal cleansing, every year or so; and a three-week fast (or even longer) for curing a specific disease, under the supervision of a physician

Always consult your physician first if you go on a fast longer than three to four days. Stop the fast immediately if there is significant increase in physical weakness, or drastic drop in blood pressure.

A one-day fast is ideal for maintenance, but may not be too effective for deep cleansing. Regular fasting minimizes the risk of a disabling disease later in life, and is therefore anti-aging.

Ann was just telling me she wants to sell her Ford off. It’s still quite new but she says that where she lives, it’s very difficult to find spare parts for it. Her radiator broke down and she’s been to every mechanic in town and all tells her the same thing. They dont carry radiators for her model and she has to get her own Ford Radiator in for them to fix it for her. I told her not to sell it off as she can get her Ford Radiator from radiators.com. They carry many different types of radiators for almost cars or every make and model. If you are looking high and low for a radiator now, you may want to check the link out.

When people hear the word “diet”, we tend to think of counting calories, eating salad, and being pretty miserable. In fact, the word “diet” is more about eating healthy, nutritious foods on a daily basis. There’s no need to starve ourselves just because we’re struggling to lose weight!

So what does a nutritious diet consist of? In my opinion, it’s all about consuming foods that keep your energy levels running at a constant high level throughout the day, and allows them naturally fall at night. It’s really about eating correctly in such a way your body is continually fueled to the most appropriate levels. This doesn’t mean eating salads all day - it simply means thinking about what you eat, and when you eat it.

My recommendations are as follows:

- Eat complex carbohydrates earlier in the day to keep your energy levels up
- Try to get at least 30 minutes of some form of exercise every day
- Drink at least 8 glasses of water daily
- Try to balance each meal with 50% Carbohydrates, 30% Protein and 20% Fat for ideal nutrition
- Try not to go for more than 3 hours without eating something
- Don’t eat anything withing 2 hours of going to bed
- Try to eat protein rich foods within 4-6 hours of going to bed

It’s important that you keep these points in mind as you go through your daily life as this wil maximise the value of your diet. If you’re able to keep up with this over a period of time, you should find that you have more energy and your sugar cravings lessen. This has definitely been my own experience! Additionally, the weight will naturally start to drop off without you needing to eat like a rabbit!

If you follow these ideas, then I truly hope you find them as helpful as I have. All things considered, losing weight doesn’t have to be punishing! Conversely, eating a healthy diet doesn’t have to be about losing weight.

Eat well, eat healthily, eat happily, and dont’ make this any tougher than it needs to be.

Happy Dieting!

Herbal cleansing has become very popular in the world today and comes in many different forms. One can go to an alternative health clinic for advanced forms of herbal cleansing or simply take herbal supplements at home.

There are many products on the market in the form of pills or powders with various herbal combinations depending on the particular type of cleansing you wish to undertake.

One can take herbs to cleanse the liver, kidneys, and other vital organs. The most popular form of herbal cleansing however, is to clean the intestines. The purpose behind herbal cleansing is to remove wastes and toxins from the body so cleansing the intestines is the logical choice.

An efficiently functioning digestive tract will help support and nourish the body. Properly formulated herbal supplements can assist the elimination of wastes and improve the assimilation of nutrients in the body.

Many alternative health practitioners believe that ill health begins in the colon and the first step in preventing and treating disease is to cleanse the digestive tract. Our modern diet of heavily processed food along with sedentary lifestyles contributes to the accumulation of waste products in the colon and a sluggish digestive system.

Herbal cleansing help restore the body to its normal state of being able to repair itself and ward off disease. Some claim that herbal cleansing remedies can help rid the body of parasites which could be responsible for a variety of diseases.

Another claim of herbal cleansing products is that the herbs help to loosen old material in the intestines and allow it to pass out of the body. In addition, some herbs may help to tone the bowels to allow them to function more normally to aid in the rapid elimination of wastes.

There are actually many varieties of herbal supplements on the market today and the function will depend upon which herbs are used in the product. You can easily find herbal cleansing products at your local health food store. You can also shop for them online where you will be assured of having access to a huge variety of products and be able to research them and then compare prices before you buy.

When buying herbs it is important to buy quality standardized herbal preparations. It is usually not a good idea to buy herbal supplements based on price alone. Stick with well known and respected name brands and if you have any questions, consult your physician or alternative healthcare provider for medical advice.

If you currently are on prescription medication or have an illness, it is particularly important to talk with your doctor before adding herbal supplements to your diet as some herbs may react with your medications.

I wont get to meet up with Susan so often after Christmas. She’ll be moving to a different city with her hubby soon. They are now looking for a site that offers condos for sale as it’s more convenient and they will get more choices too. She says she wants to buy one that has a great pool and is location right in the heart of the city where she’ll be going. Oh, yes. I love city life and what its excitement. I used to live in KL until i moved back here. If i were to move back there, i will also buy a property in the city center. And yes, it must have a huge pool and i’d like a unit with pool view too.

I bought another pair of Crocs Shoes the other day. It’s the latest design and very ladylike. Not like the old fatty version, lol. I bought it in a combination of my two favorite colors; Red & Pink. I seldom wear other kinds of shoes like heels these days as i tend to get blisters very easily. maybe i have sensitive feet. But when i have blisters and need Blister Prevention Patches, hubby will buy ENGO® Blister Prevention Patches for me. It’s the best that i’ve tried before. I dont think i’ll ever get blisters from wearing Crocs. But then, i still do wear heels for important and formal functions. I keep them at home just in case. You may want to buy some back for yourself.

What is acne rosacea? Well it is not acne. The symptoms of acne and acne rosacea overlap, but they are distinct skin conditions… Acne rosacea affects the facial area and is most common in fair skinned women between the ages of 30 and 60. When men are affected by this skin disorder their symptoms are often particularly severe. Acne rosacea cannot be cured but the disease can be treated and controlled with the help of a dermatologist.

The early stages of acne rosacea are characterized by frequent reddening of the facial area. It is suspected that individuals who blush frequently are more susceptible to developing acne rosacea. If you have a history of frequent blushing, it may be difficult to distinguish between a normal blush and the beginnings of this skin disorder, since the redness of acne rosacea is intermittent in the early stages of the disease. If your blushing skin burns when you apply lotions or your face is swollen, you may be experiencing the early symptoms of acne rosacea. If you experience these symptoms and do not have a history of frequent blushing, you may need to seek acne rosacea treatment.

As the disease progresses the face become ruddier and is discolored more frequently. Small red solid bumps may begin to appear on the skin of the face. Visible blood vessels and pimples will also appear. Blackheads, a normal symptom of acne, do not appear with the pimples of an acne rosacea sufferer. In severe cases of this disease the skin of the face may thicken and the nose may become bulbous.

The eyes of fifty percent of acne rosacea suffers are affected by this disease. The eyelids become inflamed, and the eyes are red and irritated. Tearing and frequent sty’s are common when acne rosacea affect the eye area. In severe cases loss of vision may occur. When the eyes become infected, the treatment plan includes oral antibiotics and a strict eye cleansing routine. Steroid eye drops may also be prescribed.

There is no cure for this skin disorder but acne rosacea treatment includes topical antibiotics to reduce the skin inflammation and pimples. Other forms of acne rosacea treatment include oral antibiotics and long term topical therapy to keep outbreaks under control. Most doctors also realize acne rosacea treatment should also include assessment for depression since this disease is disfiguring and embarrassing to it’s’ victims.

Aggressive acne rosacea treatment also includes the use of lasers to remove visible blood vessels and reduce redness. Surgery may be indicated in cases where the nose has become disfigured.

Once diagnosed with acne rosacea, it is important to follow an acne rosacea skin care routine. Mild, non abrasive cleansers are recommended. The acne rosacea patient should not use rough cloths or extremely hot or cold water on their faces. Lukewarm water and soft cotton towels are the best options for acne rosacea skin care. Constant use of sun block, (SPF 15 or higher) should be used daily. Make up can be part of an acne rosacea skin care routine, if it does not further irritate the skin.

Currently there is research being conducted on this skin disorder. As the population ages, an increase in acne rosacea is expected. While there is no cure today, research may develop a cure tomorrow.

Arthritis is a familiar term to most people. However, there are many different types of arthritis, each with its own specific affected area and the types of arthritis vary in degrees of severity. One type of arthritis that particularly limits your ability to complete daily activities is hand arthritis.

Think about it—you use your hands for just about everything. What would happen if you feel pain every time when you use your hands? People affected by hand arthritis face this challenge, every day. Knowing the symptoms of hand arthritis could result in earlier diagnosis, which in turn could contribute to arthritis prevention.

Arthritis of the hand occurs when the cartilage (nature’s “shock absorber”) in the hand begins to deteriorate. The body begins to produce a fluid called synovium to try and cushion the joints in place of the cartilage. However, this fluid causes the joint to swell and results in the restricted motion of the joint. The joint covering, Called the capsule, stretches, which causes the pain that arthritis is known for.

Early on, people with hand arthritis might experience a dull or burning pain in their hands . For example, many people feel this sensation when grasping or gripping something. However, others do not experience these symptoms until several hours later.

As hand arthritis advances, smaller uses of the hands will result in these symptoms. The pain typically worsens as the disease progresses; some people complain that arthritis pain keeps them up at night. Others claim that rainy weather negatively affects their arthritis. As the arthritis grows worse, those affected by it will begin to find simple tasks, such as tying shoes and opening jars, more difficult.

There are several ways that hand arthritis can be treated. One way to treat the symptoms of arthritis is medications. Medications eliminate the pain associated with the arthritis, but they do not fix the problem of the deteriorating cartilage.

Some people discuss surgical options because they eliminate the problem completely. The types of surgeries that can treat hand arthritis are numerous. One option, for example, is to have the affected joints replaced altogether.

If you are suffering from hand arthritis, then you do not have to live with your pain. There are so many options available for treatment that can significantly increase the quality of your life and life the limitations that have been placed on your daily activity.
