Seven Keys to High-Energy Living


Energy is a key luck factor. For you to be at the top of your form, to be action oriented, fast moving, and extremely productive, you have to have high levels of physical and mental energy.
For you to be able to take advantage of all the possibilities around you, and to have the continuous enthusiasm that keeps you and others motivated and moving ahead, you have to organize your life so that you feel terrific about yourself most of the time.
1. Eat the Right FoodsThe first key to high energy is a proper diet. To perform at your best, you must eat the right foods, in the right balance, and in the right combination. Your diet has an inordinate impact on the amount of energy you have, how well you sleep, your levels of health and fitness, and your performance throughout the day and into the evening.
2. Watch your Weight
The second key to high energy is proper weight. Proper weight is essential for health, happiness, and long life. Being slightly under your ideal weight is best. As they say, you can never be too rich or too thin. If you are not happy with your current level of physical health, you need to set specific goals for yourself for the weeks and months ahead.
3. Exercise is Essential
The third key to high energy is proper exercise. The best activity for high energy and physical fitness is aerobic exercise. This type of exercise requires that you get your heart rate up into what is called the training zone three times per week. This training zone is about 120 to 160 beats per minute, depending on your age. You then keep it there for at least 20 minutes or more each session.

4. Get Lots of Rest and Recreation
The fourth key to high energy is proper rest. You need an average of seven to eight hours of sleep each night to be fully rested. You need to take off at least one full day each week during which you don't work at all. You should take regular mini-holidays of two or three days each, every couple of months. You should take one and two week vacations each year when you relax completely and get your mind totally off your work.
5. Develop a Positive Mental Attitude
The sixth key to high energy is the elimination of negative emotions. This can be the most important thing you do to assure a long and happy life. Your ability to keep your mind on what you want and off of what you don't want will determine your levels of health and happiness more than any other decision you make.
6. Start a Personal Mental Fitness Program
The seventh key to high energy is for you to go on a 21-daypositive mental attitude diet, one day at a time. Resolve that, for the next 21 day, you are going to keep your mind on what you want and keep it off the things you don't want. You are going to think and talk positively and optimistically about your goals, other people, and everything that is going on in your life.
7. Become a Personal Powerhouse
The more you practice the health habits we have talked about, the more energy and vitality you will have. The more you keep your conversation focused on your goals and on the things you want, the greater the amount of strength and power you will feel. You will be more alert and aware. You will feel more positive and action oriented in every situation.
Action Exercise
Resolve to become intensely action oriented from now on; whenever you get a good idea or something needs to be done, move quickly.

CANCER KILLER DISCOVERED

 Guyabano, The Soupsop Fruit
The Sour Sop or the fruit from the graviola tree is a miraculous natural cancer cell killer 10,000 times stronger than Chemo.
Why are we not aware of this?
Its because some big corporation want to make back their money spent on years of research by
trying to make a synthetic version of it for sale.
So, since you know it now you can help a friend in need by letting him know or just drink some sour sop juice yourself as prevention from time to time.
The taste is not bad after all. It's completely natural and definitely has no side effects.
If you have the space, plant one in your garden.
The other parts of the tree are also useful.
The next time you have a fruit juice, ask for a sour sop.
How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the miraculous Graviola tree?
Th is tree is low and is called graviola in Brazil , guanabana in Spanish and has the uninspiring name "soursop" in English.
The fruit is very large and the subacid sweet white pulp is eaten out of hand or, more commonly, used to make fruit drinks, sherbets and such.
The principal interest in this plant is because of its strong anti-cancer effects.
Although it is effective for a number of medical conditions, it is its anti tumor effect that is of most interest.
This plant is a proven cancer remedy for cancers of all types.
Besides being a cancer remedy, graviola is a broad spectrum antimicrobial agent for both bacterial and fungal infections,
is effective against internal parasites and worms, lowers high blood pressure and is used for depression,
stress and nervous disorders.
If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it's the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.
The truth is stunningly simple:
Deep within the Amazon
Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor,
and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival.
The future has never looked more promising.
Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to:
* Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
* Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
* Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
* Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life
The source o f this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America 's largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970's!
What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing...
Extracts from the tree were shown to:
* Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon,
breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer..
* The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin,
a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
* What's more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively huntsdown and kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells!
The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched--
so why haven't you heard anything about it?
If Graviola extract is as half as promising as it appears to be--
why doesn't every single oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients?
The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health--
and for many, our very lives(!)--are controlled by money and power.
Graviola--the plant that worked too well
One of America 's biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola,
a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.
Various parts of the Graviola tree--including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds--have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis.
Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree's anti-cancerous properties--and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.
But that's where the Graviola story nearly ended.
The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree--it's completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There's no way to make serious profits from it.
It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to
synthesize two of the Graviola tree's most powerful anti-cancer ingredients.
If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent,
they'd be able to patent it and make their money back.
Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated.
There was no way the company could protect its profits--or even make back the millions it poured into research.
As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt.
Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!
Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team
whose conscience wouldn't let him see such atrocity committed.
Risking his career, he contacted a company that's dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest
and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed
When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola,
they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree.
Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola--and its shocking cover-up--came in fast and furious....

....The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976.
The results showed that Graviola's "leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells." Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public...
...Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests,
yet no double-blind clinical trials--
the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a
treatment's value- -were ever initiated..
A study published in the Journal of Natural Products,
following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to
selectively kill colon cancer cells at "10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin..."
....The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that
Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched.
Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.
...A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers...
Seven years of silence broken--it's finally here!
A limited supply of Graviola extract, grown and harvested by indigenous people in Brazil , is finally available in America .
The full Graviola Story--including where you can get it and how to use it--is included in Beyond Chemotherapy:
New Cancer Killers, Safe as Mother's Milk,

that will effectively revolutionize the fight against cancer.
From breakthrough cancer and heart research and revolutionary Amazon Rainforest
herbology to world-leading anti-aging research and nutritional medicine,
every monthly Health Sciences Institute Member's Alert puts in your hands today cures the rest of America --including your own doctor(!)--is likely to find out only ten years from now.

BREASTFEEDING REDUCES RISK OF DIABETES IN MOTHERS

According to United State study (American Journal of Medicine). Previous research demonstrated the benefit of moms who breast feed their baby for as long as six months or a year. The result suggested that a month of breast feeding has positive , lasting effect. New research conduct recently stated that Mothers who do not breastfeed their newborn for at least a month are likely to develop type 2 diabetes later in life than women who do
The lead author, Dr. Eleanor Schwarz of the University of Pitsburgh told Reuters Health that what they found was surprising, Its pretty dramatic benefits for moms who breastfed as short as a month after the birth of their child.

In type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease, either the body odes not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin that the body needs to turn food into energy. To see how long a new mom needs to breastfeed to reap later benefits to her health, Schwarz and colleagues analysed a large database of patient treated by Kaiser permanent Medical Care programme of Northern California United States.
They compared the incidence of type 2 diabetes in 2,233 women  between the ages of 40 and 78, divided into three groups; those who had children but never breastfed them (703 women) and those who had breastfed (1,125 women).
In view of the above result, All nursing mother are advised to breastfeed their baby for at least  six months, breast feeding is not only good for baby but equally prevent mother from diabetes and other related disease.

HOW YOU CAN USE BANANA TO CURE 20 SICKNESSES

A professor at CCNY for a physiological psych class told his class about bananas. He said the expression 'going bananas' is from the effects of bananas on the brain. Read on:
So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrate, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, 'A banana a day keeps the doctor away!'
PASS IT ON TO YOUR FRIENDS
PS: Bananas must be the reason monkeys are so happy all the time! I will add one here; want a quick shine on our shoes?? Take the INSIDE of the banana skin, and rub directly on the shoe...polish with dry cloth. Amazing fruit !!!
Bananas contain three natural sugars - sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber. A banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.
Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout. No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world's leading athletes.
But energy isn't the only way a banana can help us keep fit. It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.
Never, put your banana in the refrigerator!!!
Depression:According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.
PMS: Forget the pills - eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.
Anemia : High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.
Blood Pressure: This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it perfect to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit's ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.
Brain Power:200 students at a Twickenham (Middlesex) school ( England ) were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.
Constipation: High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.
Hangovers: One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey.. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.
Heartburn: Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.
Morning Sickness:Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.
Mosquito bites: Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.
Nerves: Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.
Overweightand at work? Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.
Ulcers: The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness.. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases.. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.
Temperature control: Many other cultures see bananas as a 'cooling' fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand , for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD): Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.
Smoking &Tobacco Use: Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.
Stress: Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body's water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.
Strokes: According to research in The New England Journal of Medicine, eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!
Warts: Those keen on natural alternatives swear that if you want to kill off a wart, take a piece of banana skin and place it on the wart, with the yellow side out. Carefully hold the skin in place with a plaster or surgical tape! .  Discover the best way of eating the best and living the best life without sickness by way of MEAL PLAN 101

DON'T IGNORE YOUR BODY, YOUR HEALTH

Think of your body as a high-powered, finely engineered transportation vehicle, like a space shuttle. Instead of liquid hydrogen, your body is powered by your own intake.  The food you eat is the fuel that energizes the vehicle. What you put in your fuel tank is burned by your high-performance activity or – in the case of low-Octane, junk food – is deposited in your engine.                                             
Think of your mind as the driver who either takes control of and steers your body to victory or hits the wall.  Your body is very much like a car.  Drive it without proper fuel or maintenance, and it will fall apart. You take it for granted to get you where you want to go, until it breaks down. Then it disrupts your way of life.
Like your car, your body only speaks to you by exception.  You only notice it when it is damaged or inoperative.  But, unlike your car, the spare parts business for your body is not a viable option at present.
To combat disease and aging, you need to keep your bones, joint and muscles flexible and strong.  The right exercise means weight-bearing exercise, not simply aerobics.  The international College of Sport Medicine has now added exercise with weights to its long time recommendation of aerobic exercise. First, check with your physician, who can assess your general condition and advise you about healthy levels of activity. Second, be aware that the effectiveness of exercise depends as much on enjoyment as one the nature of the activity itself.
Just as important, if not more important than daily exercise, is proper nutrition.  What you eat has a major impact on degenerative diseases.  Eat has a major impact on degenerative diseases.  Eat a low-fat diet. Keep your fat intake to 15 percent of all daily calories.  This will keep you lean and boost your immunity.
Eat a low-salt diet. Use a potassium-based salt substitute on the table and in cooking. Eat a high-fiber diet.  Fiber protects the colon from cancer, lowers cholesterol and stabilizes blood sugar.  Eat 40 to 50 grams of mixed fibers daily, as in whole-grain breads and cereals, especially those containing oat brain, vegetables and fruits. Eat a low-sugar. Eat complex carbohydrates in place of sugar and look for carbohydrate drinks sweetened with zylitol.  Do drink clean water.  Drink bottled or home-distilled water, as much as eight glasses per day
Do eat an alkaline diet. Our high-fat, high-sugar diet creates acidity. So many people are now acidic that we spend hundreds of million of dollars on antacids every year
Do take daily nutritional supplements, including essential multivitamins, antioxidants and minerals.  Current research confirms antioxidants and minerals.  Current research confirms that we can no longer get the essential nutrient form our food alone; we must supplement event the best diet with nutrition to promote resistance to disease. Do eat the right kind s of foods, and stay away from the fast food, fat-food drive-thoughts.  You are doing yourself and your children a dangerous, long term disservice by developing the habit of eating high-fat, nutrition-poor meals. Make your health your top priority. You can't buy your health or life back after years of neglecting it while you earn your living.
Action Idea: list one activity you will begin to do tomorrow to improve your health and increase the quality and quantity of your life.

HOW TO LEAD A NORMAL LIFE AFTER BEING DIAGNOSED HIV POSITIVE

Don't press the panic button in case your HIV reports have just tested positive.  The world will not come crashing down.  You have to be bold enough to take on the world with a positive mindset.  Just remember that you are not the only one infected; and with the improvement in science and technology, the virus can be controlled.  Although a permanent cure does not exist you can live normally with a few precautions in mind.
Your friends and family should be taken into confidence.  Their support will guide you a long way.  Lift your morale and try taking advice or a counselor of social worker who works in this field.  Talking will help to relieve you of the stress and anxiety  you face initially.  Education holds the key in keeping yourself updated about the disease and its effect on you. There are several informative website on the internet which can guide you. Take guidance of your local health department. Your immune system is the worst affected because of this disease so visit the doctor every week or fortnight.
It is the most dreaded disease because it attacks your immune system and makes you susceptible to a lot of other ailments.  The Viral Load test and the CD4 test are reliable tests that give the doctor an accurate idea of how much HIV virus is in your bloodstream.  It is the viral test that determines the intensity of virus that is present in your bloodstream and the CD4 test that can find out how strong your immune system is at the time of the test.
HIV (human immunodeficiency syndrome) is definitely not a contagious disease and it cannot be spread through hugging, sharing the toilet seat or sharing utensils. Your family should also do a research on this topic so that they are at ease. HIV is transmitted via the sharing of contaminated needles, from an HIV infected mother to baby during birth or due to breastfeeding.  The main source of transmission is sex with an infected partner.
The huge variety of medicines available today for controlling this disease can be confusing.  Rely on your medical consultant.  Century old traditional practices like acupuncture and some herbs are known to cure cancer but is only a myth.  They may give some relief or benefit but consult a renowned practitioner.
If you are feeling isolated and left alone join some voluntary organization that deals in the upliftment of people affected by HIV/AIDS. These services might also give you the confidence to carry on your life normally.  There are a lot of people who carry this deadly virus, who run such organizations and help people in distress.
Prayers can comfort you at this juncture and have faith in God, the Almighty.
