Health Problems? A Must Read

2012-01-04T10:14:00.001-08:00

Health? Problems? Anyone free from them?

One never realises how important it is to
get have the right nutritional values.
So many things we have learnt - or should
I add - accepted without proving their worth
in our lives.

Unfortunately no real schooling has been done
in this area, perhaps due to commerce or just
being "used to doing it this way".

Now there are more and more searching for
answers and the tendency concerning nutrition
is turning.

This video confirms much of these thoughts...and
maybe it will also cause you to rethink and revise
your habits and bring you into a new sphere of energy
and health.

I am thankful to dear folk who send me such information,
so may you be blessed as well in your search.

Wishing you a blessed and healthy 2012...

Health and Brushing

2011-11-29T07:37:00.000-08:00

DRY BRUSHING is done best before you shower using long gentle strokes. Takes just a few minutes of your time.

WHY

It exfoliates the skin.
Stimulates and promotes movement of the lymphatic system.
It certainly does a great job at leaving the skin smooth and vibrant.
A time to especially use it is during a Cleansing or Detox program.
When you do a Dry Skin Brush you will notice a feeling of being revitalised...the tingling feeling of your body getting a good start. Therefore it is good to do this in the morning hours before your day starts..

WITH WHAT

BODY BRUSH
You will need a firm brush for this. If possible with a longer handle to reach the more difficult areas.

REMEMBER

Be in a nice, warm comfortable place.
Always brush towards the ducts and end at the heart where all the fluid (toxins) are moved into the circulatory system.
If it is too difficult when standing..sit while doing your feet.
Use a different Brush for each family member and
rinse it through periodically.

EFFECT

• The blood flow is stimulated so nutrients are delivered to the cells
• Due to the improved lymph flow, toxins and waste products are moved out of the body.
• Dry, dead skin cells are removed and cells regenerated
• Your skin becomes smooth and glows (oils - sebum)so nourishing dry skin
• Great against cellulite and fatty deposits
• Your energy increases, your body stimulated so in all...
• You just feel great!

HOW

Start at the soles of your feet - always moving upward. Right side first, then left side...moving with the brush up your leg from all sides...about seven strokes so that you cover the whole leg completely.

Your abdomen enjoys it too...clockwise of course with a few much softer rounds.

Then your arms starting with the palm of your hands. Again moving up the arm with several strokes. Right then left.

Not forgetting your back as best you can and of course
your abdomen will also enjoy a few rounds...as well as your buttocks.

Enjoy that tingling feeling....

Yes, you can do your face and neck as well with a softer brush as that for the body.
If at any time it hurts, lower the pressure or stop.

FACE BRUSH

The DO NOTs

If you have varicose veins, open wounds or rashes. Do not Brush.
This is also the case with constipation because the toxins cannot be excreted, so deal with the constipation first.

If you are pregnant?...sure this helps a great deal, helps with swellings, activates the sluggish lymph system at this time. Be especially gentle on Juniors area :-)

ENJOY THAT TINGLING FEELING FOR A FEW MINUTES
AND KNOW YOU HAVE DONE YOUR BODY A GREAT SERVICE

"Oh, and where did you say you put the SKIN MOISTURIZER?"...Don't forget it!

If you need help in getting your nutritional life-style changed (helps also with constipation), then this is a must read. You will learn the value of greens in your diet as well as the amazing healing and nutritional support that comes when done rightly.

A way to Reach Children about Nutrition

2011-10-24T16:27:00.000-07:00

A thought for that Christmas Gift...

No doubt you have also been through it all.
Either as a child yourself, or with your own children...that eating problem.
How do we reach children to teach them about nutrition without having a drama.

After reading and applying some of these books I have reached a complete change in many directions. And that is what books are for...to give us new vision, new hope, awaken new thoughts and drive us to action.

For children, one of their interesting hobbies. Reading.
Ever noticed how often a child can read through one book again and again?

And they get impressed by what they read...as much as you and I do when something strikes us.

However, my thought today is to get you thinking about health. Your health and that of your children, or grandchildren, or neighbours children.

I do not know about you, but I wish I knew long ago, especially during the time the children were at home, about the importance of nutrition. Now that was a surprise for you that I have taken this theme...for a Christmas gift. But go look at it, you can blätter through on internet. That's fun.

http://bit.ly/modXe3

It is not so easy to bring kids the importance near.
But actually, it is also the way we have taught them as to what they eat and enjoy now.
I often say, "if only I knew". But..now I do know and that is why I share it with YOU so that YOU have the possibility to get things on the right track.
I have read some of these books and acted on them and there has been a vast change...let me just mention 21kgs..in weight..gone! Through reading a book? Not only...but through acting on what I read.
OK...lets move on...here is where you can find it all.
A great book for kids...oh, and they won a prize for it..colourful and smartly written.

http://bit.ly/modXe3

And many books for you..but the wonder book was Green for Life.
All yours...and, as I said, a good idea for a Christmas gift.
Enjoy the fun of reading and acting and getting fun results.

Your Health

2011-08-08T07:30:00.000-07:00

We say it so often to each other...during the day, as a birthday wish, to some kind of celebration "I wish you health and happiness" or "the main thing is to remain healthy".
Even at times when we meet with friends, or neighbours...the first thing we ask is "how are you?".
Yes, health is one of our main topics..not to say also talked about at times when we meet for tea or coffee. Our little "Weh-wehchens" as they say in Germany.
And it is true - who hasn't got them?

I wonder though if many people make an effort to take more thought about why this has come to be the number one theme (besides the weather and finances of course!).

Let me take a bit of time with you and consider what the reason may be, or even is.

Did you know that your weight problem is a cause for illness?
Did you know that your waist-line could be a warning for you?

Sure you did. You read it so often in Magazines, especially at the beginning of the spring time.

So just for an example let's have a look at this:

Take an average age of 50.

Men between 50-59 should have an AVERAGE
Body Fat of about 21,1% - 26%...and
your muscles, gentleman, 39-48%.

I'm taking this from the Beurer Scales "Instructions for Use" pamphlet.
May not be exact..but gives you a real good idea.

Now ladies...same age:
26,1-31% AVERAGE Body Fat
29-34% Muscles.

Now go and get that tape measure:
Increased risk
- Men: more than 94 centimetres
- Women: more than 80 centimetres
Greatly increased risk
- Men: more than 102 centimetres
- Women: more than 88 centimetres

NOTE: These are World Health Organisation and National Health & Medical Research Council figures.

Measure without making the tape too tight and measure halfway between
your lowest rib and top of your hipbone, just above your belly button.

So now we have cleared that.

We know that much depends on our eating habits..or we wouldn't even mention that chocolate or beer that we are just enjoying.
We know that stress, unhappiness, family problems, financial problems...all lead to either being over- or under-weight.

But..you and I need to think further.

As I personally am not able to medically give you all the details and ins and outs,I would like to lead you to a lady Doctor who has written about
what is going on in our inwards to cause overweight and illness.

So it is better for you that you take the time, roll down and look through Dr. Suzannes whole website and get yourself informed.

Let me mention a little about toxins.
I know you are surely caring for your body. You shower or bath regularly,cream yourself, use the right perfumes, do sport, clean the make-up off, change your socks regularly and so on... and you look great. B U T..

...what about inwardly where you cannot shower, or brush off any dirt?

Our skins take in toxins from the world around us and we, through what we
eat and drink care for the toxins in our bodies. No, that is not what we want to do...but we do it without realising that we are doing it, and just drinking water just doesn't clear out all your toxins.

Toxins make you ill. Thats the truth.
Toxins come from food, they come from water, the air you breathe, there are chemicals all around, even our food has not been dealt with rightly, not organic as it should be.

So that is enough for one day. Spend a little time with Dr. Suzanne

To your health

The great Fear

2011-06-22T03:40:00.001-07:00

It is often the talk of the day. Find a group of elderly people and the main theme is their state of health.
I sometimes find this tiring, one realises more and more how important this is in the lives of those around.

Cancer, High Blood-Pressure, Diabetis, Multiple Sclerosis, Overweight, Alzheimer, not to think of Flues and Colds and Coughs .. the list can go on and on.

And...it is not only the voice of elderly folk that one hears on this theme, but
also for younger folk. How about stress and burn-out?

The theme of the world..."how are you?", "Wie geht's", "Hoe gaan dit?"
The "Fine, thankyou!" is not always the truth.

No, it is often as habit, or because we do not want to give a negative direction to the following discussion. I mean, we may not have seen the person since ages...and now to really say how I feel would not be a great thing...so we talk about the weather and the kids and the job...
But at the end we do land there where we do not want to be...talking about our ailments. Some small, some large.

You know what bothers me though? It is not the fact that we mention that we have a health problem...it is the lack of doing something about it.
In our world today we have great opportunities out of the doctors practice to find the help we need....but we have become so used to the fact that not having good health is part of the daily life. Each one has his little packet to carry!!

IT IS NOT! WE HAVE ALLOWED IT TO BECOME!

But this can change..this can develop exactly in the other direction. Obtaining good health.

It is good always to catch things before they grow to some greater problem.
That is true....which means from the beginning to have a different life-style.

You know it, as well as I do..sport, fruit, vegetable, no more fast food, leave off smoking, watch that alcohol, you need more sleep....and so on!

Oh...and that is where I want now to be...let's add one more thing to what we
should, or can be doing.

How about me sharing with you how a whole family found a way
out of various ailments...by simply changing their way of eating.

Not just leaving off fast foods....no, just turning away from cooked foods as a whole.

Yes, I know you do not want to hear that. Someone one said to me...later, maybe. I want to enjoy all this...

But the problem is .. it hits you sooner than you think.

OK..enough for now.

Here is the book, it is really well updated...from experts on the line...and all you need to do is read it and you will find answers you have never even thought of.

Of course the secret will lie in what you do about it. That is always the point.

I mean it really seriously and honestly. Read it, think about it, even try it.

I was recently by a "Cleansing Week". I do such things now and again..and a young gentleman was there with a Pollen Allergy. More pollen he could not have found as
in that region where we were for the week. Due to the cleansing and the use of raw foods, especially greens, he never had one sneeze or runny nose at all.

Your eating-style is really the answer to many ailments.
To your health.

Even Family Squirrel Know It

2011-06-16T08:04:00.000-07:00

It is the same thing every year. My neighbour goes past the fir tree that was planted at least thirty years ago near the playground as a possibility for a
lighted christmas tree each year, and shakes his head at all the new little green shoots that are now lying on the ground. However, this little christmas tree is now higher than the 5 story high block of flats we live in.

It has not the use of a christmas tree because it was soon noticed that all the light bulbs were often stolen...so that was the end of the story. But it has another
great purpose. It now stands higher than the 5 story block of flats we live in...and is the home of Mr and Mrs Squirrel.

Yes, sweet little Squirrels and each year they "damage" this tree. The new little green shoots get bitten off and thrown down. BUT WHY?

Their little brain seems to work far better than the human brain. You see, they know that after the months of "fasting" an intake of something nutritional is needed...and this what they need is found in these new green shoots.

Ever thought like that after the winter period? Ever thought like that after any
illness period? Ever thought like that at all?

It would be good to do so.

Your body should be as important to you as the squirrel to his. He knows that without
the right nourishment he is not going to make to to jump from one branch to another, or be quick enough to escape any of his enemies when they attack him.

It is really important to take in as much green as possible to receive the minerals you need, but also to cleanse your body so that you are able to reach the highest
potential you should.

Just look at them:

Massive, green, crisp and tasty.

And that is what you should be eating ... DAILY!

Why Nordic Walking Sticks

2011-06-16T06:39:00.000-07:00

It is more and more becoming popular. Nordic Walking.
I have put a link on my Blog on the right when you click
on the carousel. (I have put two on incase one is not available)
...but why!
What is the advantage?
Why use them when I can walk happily without?

Seeing sport-minded people using this method daily
in areas around us we wonder why they take the bother
to walk with sticks...they seem to be so in the way.

You can find out the original use of sticks
from anywhere in internet if you are interested.

Here we are interested in what the advantages are so
let's just make the points:-

1. You are Training .. so-called fitness Walking.
2. You are using muscles that are not usually
used during a walking exercise. 90% of the bodies
total mass.
Body conditioning...balance..oxygen..heart rate increase..
3. You have far more fat-burning
4. Fits for any age...most physical conditions, any climate.
5. Social (if you do not do it alone.

and many more advantages.
The reason why I have them here on my Blog is to make
it possible for you to see them and get hold of them
easier.
They become part of your life when you realise how
good it is to activate this sport.

Whatever you do, learn to do it correctly..
if possible with someone who knows how or a good
trainer otherwise you may injure yourself by straining
your muscles.
Like all sports...there is a technique to it! but easy
to learn.

Ever thought of using them when in the mountains?
A great way of easing the climb...there are special
Sticks that screw into a smaller size for comfort
when they are not being used.

It would not be wise for me to go out of this
without saying that I started with Nordic Walking
as a sport art to get my blood-pressure level down!
After that I just enjoy that feeling of being propellered
along while enjoying the nature given to us for our enjoyment.

Take a look at the Sticks to get at least
an idea of what they are on the carousel to
the right of this post.

Happy Walking...starting today!

Food and its Problems

2011-05-27T04:07:00.000-07:00

It has happened again.

FOOD PROBLEMS. Healthy Foods causing stomach problems..and some real serious cases.

We have heard of the sad things that have been happening through food not been rightly dealt with..hard to say but it is so...poisoned.
This seems to be becoming a reappearing problem in our day and age of "HEALTHY FOODS".

Due to this it is the advice of many professionals in the nutrition area to suggest we must live more healthy. So we do...we eat tomatoes and cucumber and actually get sick and then are told not to eat them...strange world, but it is so.

On my desk this morning lay a broschure from a newspaper we receive...a series of good menus for a quick and healthy kitchen. At the back of the broschure there are pictures of the meals that are suggested for the day.

Picture one .. a glass milk
Picture two.. a fried egg
Picture three .. pasta
Picture four.. bread.

One page before these four pictures the menu is given.
For instance (for 2 people):
4 eggs
1 glass/tin of white beans in tomaten sauce
1 onion
4 slices of grain bread
cucumber pickles
salt, pepper, chilli, butter
1 glas orange juice
Onion, beans ... prepared in the butter
Eggs need to be fried.

Then all nicely put on your plate decorated with the pickles etc.

I leave it of course to you to decide how you feel about this.

At earlier times I may have also enjoyed this, although I have never been one for
such a heavy breakfast. And two eggs at a time was mostly not my desire.

That is why I started to think as to what we really should be eating to keep ourselves fit and healthy.

Well...fit comes more from the exercise program we have, and then we need the right
nutrition to give us the energy to do this.

To be honest, after such a breakfast I think I would need a good rest to be able to
have the energy to digest what I had taken in.

So after searching around, I found this answer which I would like to heartily share
with you so that you too can improve your diet, improve your energy, improve your lifestyle and become a healthy YOU.

Do yourself (and your family)the favour and at least read it through. You will find a new lifestyle leading you to the healthy way of living you are looking for.... and I trust you take the responsibility to care for yourself and your family in our day and age. It all starts with you and me to make decisions for health protection.

To your health..

On Irregular Bleeding in Women
By Victoria Boutenko

"I am not a medical doctor and that is why I refrained from commenting on this topic for many years. However, recently my dear friend had her uterus removed, because she experienced unexpected bleeding soon after she adopted a vegetarian diet.

In this article I am attempting to share with you my important observations, as a friend.

Here is my story. When I was 19 years old, after giving birth to my first son, I developed a condition called cervical erosion. My gynecologist horrified me by suggesting cryotherapy, which is application of liquid (frozen) nitrogen. She said that if it didn’t work I would have to undergo a hysterectomy. She scheduled my procedure to take place in one week.

Frightened, I decided to perform a water fast. I was hoping that it would help me heal faster after cryotherapy, and thus avoid the hysterectomy.

To my horror, on the third day of my water fast I started to bleed profusely. It lasted for two days and then stopped.

However, when I came to the scheduled cryotherapy, to my greatest thrill, the gynecologist told me I must have been misdiagnosed, and that I didn’t have any sign of erosion.

I did not tell her what I did, but I remembered this episode vividly.

Throughout my life, when different girlfriends of mine shared about their gynecological problems, I told them my story. Only a few of them chose to take such a drastic measure, and fasted on water. Amazingly all of those women were helped, to various degrees.

Since I published my book Green for Life, I am constantly receiving emails from women who started to bleed suddenly after either adopting a raw food diet or drinking green smoothies.

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=953261

This article is my response to all these sisters. Don’t rush to do a hysterectomy. Maybe your bleeding is the way of your body to clean your organism of toxins. Give it a chance to run its course.

Think about this: If I hadn’t done my three day fast and instead had followed my doctor’s recommendations, I would not have the amazing experience of Sergei and Valya in my life.
It is true I am not a medical doctor, but I am a woman, mother and grandmother. If my experience could help improve somebody’s health, I choose to share it."

Trust this will be a help to many suffering with this problem.

Can You Fast at Home?

2011-05-11T04:56:00.000-07:00

I found this a very interesting article by Kevin Gianni concerning how our home environment influences our health condition.

Can You Fast at Home?

A few days ago, I read this question on the blog:

“Can someone thrive on a water fast while living normally day to day? Thanks to the ailing thyroid I have plenty of fat reserves but I can’t ‘check out’ for 40 days! Is there anyone out there who has done a water fast before while still being a mother and wife with all that goes along and was successful and healthy?”

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=4303278

This is a great question…

Today, I was interviewed for a documentary and a question like this came up.

What I was asked to respond to was a little different, but you’ll see in a second why it is similar.

The question was, “how does someone start the healing process?”

Most people would say the most important thing is to start juicing right away, or do a water fast, or eliminate sugars, or alkalize the body.

These seem like logical answers and I likely would have mentioned a few of them a few years ago.

But here’s the thing, none of these answers are wrong, but they’re also not completely right either.
Each one of these things are important for helping to heal many diseases, but I wouldn’t say they are the first things you have to do out of the gate.

In fact, if you don’t do what I suggest next, doing the things I listed above won’t get you the results you want – or they may not even get you results at all.

The first step to allowing true healing is to remove yourself from the environment that made you sick in the first place.

From my experience, the environment dictates the disease.

Now to be clear, the environment may or may not cause the disease due to physical toxicity, but – for sure – the environment you’re in will allow the disease to continue to manifest itself if you don’t take a break to reflect on what really caused your condition.

This is why healing centers work.

Those who go to them remove themselves from their existing environment.

They stop eating the food they normally eat and eat sprouts and juices, they start spending more time alone to think, they meet others who support them, and they may even stop working for a few months.

All these factors contribute to the healing of a patient. If they were just going to do the same healing protocol at home, chances are they would not have the same results – and worse – they might fail altogether because they’re not treating their illness as a whole body and mind experience.

It sounds all wo-wo, but here’s a real world example.

When I was younger, I knew that the drugs and alcohol I was involved with was not good for me. Anyone who’s doing something destructive to their bodies or relationships knows this. The challenge is actually changing your behavior to not do it anymore.

For me, I had tried quitting drinking or smoking many times, but it would only last for a few days – or if I was lucky a month or so.

The story was scripted.

I would go to the bar to hang out with everyone and tell them I had finally quit. Everyone would say, “great” or “good for you.” Then four hours later, I’d be drunk with a cigarette hanging out of my mouth hating myself for failing again.

What was stopping me from making lasting change was that I was always the same fish in the same pond.

I was quitting smoking and drinking around people who were still addicted to smoking and drinking.

The odds were not in my favor.

It wasn’t until I removed myself from the environment that I stopped doing those things that were harming me.

I physically moved home.

After I made that move, my thoughts lightened up as well and I became happier. (Of course, this wasn’t the only thing I did to get better, but it was the catalyst.)

Now some would argue that this was a physiological chain of events – they would say that the removal of the chemicals created new emotions. Others would say it was emotional – they would say that changing my emotional state allowed me to not need chemical stimulants anymore. I’m going to suggest that it doesn’t matter what type of event it was, what’s important is that in either theory, I get better and overcome my demons.

This mini-come-to-Jesus only happened because I moved home away from the stimulus of my drunk and stoned friends.

I’ve taken this lesson with me.

I understand that if you want to be fit, you need to find other fit people to hang around with. You can’t hang around your overweight friend who is hoping you’ll bring the motivation to her and still expect to lose 10 pounds.

In this case, the weight of your friend keeps the weight on you.

If you want to be healthy, you need to remove yourself from the environment that is causing the irritation, stress, and eventually disease.

In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever met a sick person who didn’t have some serious toxins in their immediate environment – whether they were chemical or emotional.

Your environment determines your health.

So, now, I feel like I can finally answer the question at hand.

Can you do a water fast at home while you’re doing all the things you normally do and expect your thyroid to heal?

I want to answer yes, since it would be a lot easier for you to stomach, but I’m not convinced that my answer would give you the best chances for healing.

So my answer is, reluctantly, no.

Chances are there are factors in your environment that are specifically contributing to your disease that you need to remove yourself from.

It could be the food you eat.

Maybe it’s the water you drink.

It could be the relationships you have or the stress of your job (or not having one at all.)

If you were to do a water fast with many of these conditions in place, you will set yourself up for failure and not get the healing experience you’re looking for.

A fast can be defined as abstaining from whatever it is that is stressing you.

If we take a nearsighted approach, a fast could eliminate all food and hopefully that would be sufficient to heal.

But a more holistic approach, and a more effective one, tells us that we can’t just abstain from food – this is a half-hearted way to go about healing.

We need to fully embrace the fast and abstain from all that which causes us irritation – physical (inflammation) and emotional (stress.)

Think about when your most treasured and best ideas come to you.

Many people will say they come when they’re taking a walk, or in the shower, or when they’re at a retreat center or on vacation.

The reason why these revelations come is because you’ve allowed the mind to see a new possibility by switching your personal pattern and putting yourself in an environment – while it may be familiar – that is not a place of stress or irritation.

When it comes to your health and healing, it’s no different – true healing happens when you’re out of your comfort zone into a place where there is no judgement, no expectation, and the only responsibility is to yourself.

Some may feel trapped when I explain this.

You may feel like you don’t have any money or you can’t leave everyone alone to heal yourself.

I completely understand where you’re coming from.

What I also understand is that the human species is very resourceful and it’s a mistake to think like this.

You can change your environment if you need to heal. You will find the money if you search. Your family will be fine.

My family didn’t have a choice…

My father died when I was two years old and my mother was still pregnant with my brother.

Believe me, my father did not consciously want to leave my mother alone with two sons.

When he died, my mother was faced with no decision. The only thing she could do was survive – and she did.

You’re lucky do be in – likely – a better situation.

Or maybe not…

Unfortunately, our ability to make decisions when not faced with a situation like I just mentioned usually interferes with true progress.

There was no choice involved in our family’s case, but you do have a choice and you have the right to do what’s best for you.

If you’re sick and you don’t remove yourself from your environment to heal, your entire family will truly suffer if your disease becomes terminal because you felt like you needed to stick around and take care of them.

What good does that do them? Or you?

If you’re sick or healing or have health challenges, I want you to take a moment to think about some of the environmental factors that are causing you stress right now. Then I want you to ask yourself, could they be contributing to your condition?

Chances are, you’ll get an intuitive answer first and then you’ll quickly cover that up with something a little more politically correct.

The intuitive answer is, “yes.”

So what are you going to do about it now?

It’s your choice to either stay the same, or you can take yourself and your health out of the situation finally heal.

I want to know your thoughts: Do you think it’s possible to completely heal at home? If you need to be at home, how can you remove yourself from your environment and still be home?

CHILDREN are Precious

2011-03-16T10:12:00.000-07:00

Children are precious. They bring us joy and lighten up our lives.
Sure there are hours of hardship, for instance when they are ill, or the teething starts, not to think of all that Baby Cream smeared all over the furniture....
We have a great responsibility as parents to give them the right start
and form a foundation that holds through the many experiences they will have.

One thing I would love to have known more would have been the way to
nourish my children rightly. Yes, we do our best and through that,
ways open, where a light breaks through and we see things from a
different angle.

Through meeting with the RAW FAMILY this is what happened to me.
I have been thankful for the journey that I now am on...and, therefore,
I would like to share this extract from Viktoria Boutenko.

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=953261

"Many of you don’t know that one of my greatest passions in life is educating children. It began when I was nine years old. My little brother was born and I had to help care for him as both of my parents worked six days a week. I wanted my brother to be the happiest and healthiest boy possible.

I took my new chore so seriously that I checked out several parenting books from the local library, and read them. I became really good at quoting some famous teachers and I even attempted giving my parents advice, at which they only smiled. The opportunity to watch my brother grow fascinated me and made me aware of the unlimited power of education.

I witnessed how every spoken word affected my little brother and realized that a child can be either empowered or weakened for a lifetime by every word he hears. Children and their development became the most interesting subject for me in my life.

I became a professional teacher and worked at several public schools. Since I didn’t like the controlling environment of the public school system, I became self-employed, but my work has always been connected to children and family. My very first business in Moscow was called Parents and Children.

It grew fast, employed thousands of families and was so successful that in 1985 I was invited to go to Paris and speak in front of the French Union of Student Cooperatives. At that time I had two KGB officers accompanying me during my 5-day trip abroad. The result of this venture was an amendment to the Russian Constitution, which allowed children over the age of 12 to be paid for their labor. Prior to that, children in the Soviet Union were not allowed to be paid for their work.

Perhaps I will share more of this story another time. In the late 1980’s I established my first Russian-American joint venture, which was called Family Works. My current company is called Raw Family.

I travel a lot around the world, for example, last year I visited 22 countries. I am concerned about children’s health in many countries, particularly in the United States. It is not easy for American children to be healthy. According to UCLA, during Saturday morning cartoons, children see an average of one food advertisment every five minutes. As many as 95 percent of them advertise foods with poor nutritional value. The food industry spends $10 billion a year marketing to children.

I don’t have $10 billion, but I would like to do something to counteract unhealthy messages coming from the TV screen. I am beginning to publish books for children that contain healthy messages. However, I don’t want children to view these books as the books about health. Rather my intention is to create entertaining tales and keep the message about healthy eating subtle. Also, I would like to keep the prices for children books reasonable.

http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?af=953261

Today I am happy to announce that my first two children's books are in print and will become available on April 10th, 2011."

Those Diets..those exercises

2011-01-22T07:02:00.000-08:00

The beginning of a New Year. Why is it that mostly people then want to go on diet?
I take it it is because of the many tasty meals one had over the holiday season.
And, there sure is a mass of offers to be able to get those kilos down.
Actually, one gets rather tired of seeing all the advertisements in this direction.
So I thought I would join and bring something to your notice.

What I love doing is making my own wellness bath...you probably do the same. It is so relaxing and one can cut off from the daily routine and it is there, the stress of all the activities.

Now, let me get to the point. Just look over on the right side of my Blog. Click on the book "Green for Life" buy some Nordic Walking Sticks, the Scale if you need it and you are set for a continuously healthy, good-shaped, fit person.

No more diets....this is a change of life-style. It's as easy as that.

If you need more than to know about "Green for Life" then please be free to add
"Raw Secrets" and move over to also eating raw. But do not do it unless you take
the advice given. It's all there for you...just need your decision for a new life-style as from today.

To your fitness....and free to use to know more go to

and see how you can reach your goal

Stress in your Everyday Life

2010-12-20T02:59:00.000-08:00

One of the many things that cause us stress are the conditions on our work place.
We spend most of our daily lives in this atmosphere. Recently I read that now in certain countries the possiblity has been made (for 25$) to take a time off to sleep in a "self-wished" atmosphere. That means, colour and smell!! No longer than 45 minutes, otherwise you lose the actual relaxation.
Now, we all do not have that possibility...after seeing this little video I realise there are small efforts we can make to keep our stress-level LOW.
Enjoy...and take it to heart. There are many things one can do to just have a moment
to get off the stress train and enjoy a moment to tank for the next bout.

http://youtu.be/wLY6kG54gEg

Of course, there are many more things one can do..taking care of your nutrition, having that glass of water, getting up and walking around (not just pushing your deskchair from one cupboard to the other).. and so on. Maybe you even have some ideas that you have tried out.

Let me share also this link with you where you are able to get all-round advice as to
what possibilities there are to prevent you getting that typical burn-out in the rush and stress of getting everything done before yesterday.

NOW I KNOW..

I would like to share something with you that I did not know which NOW I KNOW and wish I had known so many years ago…but, it is never too late to learn and to improve ones nutritional diet.

I am thankful for this information and so I pass it on and hope you will benefit from it.

It is all about Flaxseed Oil of which you have probably heard, but never knew what it would mean for you personally.

Now I know Flaxseed oil is exceptionally healthy. Flaxseed oil is prepared over a very special process. It is not as if it is unknown or new. It has existed for years, but its efficiency in curing diseases has more-or-less been hidden or forgotten.

Flaxseed oil is considered to be nature's richest source of omega-3 fatty acids that are required for the health of almost all body systems.

Now I know nearly every system of the body can benefit from it:

High blood pressure,
Atherosclerosis Asthma,
Eczema,
Allergies,
Rheumatoid Arthritis,
Depression,
Building up immune function,
Causing more energy,
Supports the healing of sprains and bruises.
Has benefits when losing weight.
Calcium absorption improves and finger and toenails are strengthened.
Aids to improve eyesight, so necessary due to outside pressure on the eyes.
Effects the liver positively and even can relieve the side effects of many forms of cancer as sell as stopping development.

This is a very short list of positive effects of Flaxseed oil.

Containing omega-6 and omega-9 essential fatty acids, B vitamins, potassium, lecithin, magnesium, fiber, protein, and zinc it also provides approximately 50% more omega-3 oils than fish oil, omitting then, of course, that fishy aftertaste that many do not enjoy.

If deciding to use Flaxseed oil do buy high-quality. This is important as Flax seed oil is prone to rancidity. The essential fatty acids get influenced negatively through light and oxygen. It should be used quickly once opened and kept dark and cool.

However, to get more information and to know exactly how to go about the use of it,
I would suggest you read and study to see what a great advantage it would be to add Flaxseed oil in your daily menu.

I have been very interested in the writings of Dr. Budwig and to assist you will find her DVD and a small book at the end of this website. Just scroll down and click and you will be on the way to literature that will surely amaze you that the nutritional value of Flax Seed Oil was discovered quite some years ago.

Concerning the writings of Dr. Budwig:
„A must read by Europe’s Best Selling Author on Fats & Oils. Dr. Johanna Budwig is a seven time Nobel Prize Nominee and is Considered by many to be THE foremost authority on Fats and Healing.”

NOW I KNOW and YOU DO ALSO
To your health.

Get that Oxygen in.

2010-05-12T13:23:00.000-07:00

Just recently I watched a video concerning the daily routine of an enterpreneur. The interesting thing was that to start the day he did 20 press-ups.
And what was the reason for this?
To get oxygen into his body!
Oxgen is Energy
Doing this is part of the preparation to have the right attitude towards the daily tasks.
For some years now I take a hormone tablet to care for my thryroid. Just this week, while at the doctors, one of her sentences made me frown. Taking this tablet to get the thyroid working properly, means though that it gets to grips with my calcium household! I do not know how true this is and to what extent..I shall of course be busy finding that out, but just the thought of doing good on one side at the expense of another made me frown and more determined to find a more natural solution to this problem.
Now what has that to do with oxygen. Just this. We drink coffee or tea in the morning to get started, but have not heard of, or don't want to think about it, but it has a negative side to it. And, certainly does not supply the oxygen your body needs after the hours of sleep.
It is the same when sitting for hours hard at work. Usually it ends up looking for something to again boost on up. Chocolates, Coffee? It is so easy to reach out to these methods of "refreshing" ourselves.
It would be worth the time to take just fifteen minutes in the morning to get a real good boost up. A boost up that doesn't sink down after a while.
Ever tried with press-ups? 20 press-ups. Hardly a couple of minutes.

And...what about when in the office? Press-ups would probably not fit in so well.
The high heels, the stockings, the tie, that good suit...all hindrances.

But there are ways and means of doing something to keep fresh and concentrated.
When working from home, this is no problem. But even just changing ones position, taking a walk over to the window or fetching a glass of water give means for us to move the muscles and breath more deeply. How about taking a few minutes to climb the stairs?
It is so important for your concentration, for your mood, the attention you have to give concerning the program you are now working on. Oxygen gives you the most natural and healthiest boost you can have.
Take a few minutes to do something that will cause your body to take in the fuel it needs.
Roger Haeske has taken time to put together some exercises that are short but meaningful. Exercises that will take 15 minutes of your time or give you some ideas of what you can do during the working hours. Have look at them if you are not able to have much fantasy as to what one could do.
An extract of what he says:

"There's a much faster, better and cheaper way to get fit and melt the body butter once and for all. No more gyms, weights or fancy shmancy exercise equipment needed ever again. In fact, you're about to discover one of my complete fat burning workouts that lasts a total of five minutes"

http://ihid.us?i=2dp

Tried this one? This is one I have thought out. While sitting on your office chair..with stretched arms holding on to your chair left and right..push yourself up and down a few times. Strengthens your muscles and boosts your oxygen intake and hardly anybody noticed what you were doing. The same is putting your hands flat together before your chest and pressing and releasing for a few times. I think that one everyone knows, but does so seldom.
Everything counts, even when only done a few times.

I hope this gives you the interest not to boost yourself up with something that will have a negative working on the other side, but which will give you the double energy you need to fulfill your daily tasks.

Oh, and don't forget to keep the window open as much and as often as possible.
Stale air makes one real tired.
Go over to Roger for more ideas.

Relaxed Outing

2010-04-29T03:50:00.000-07:00

It was a lovely warm spring day. Just the type of day I love to make a bike tour around the area. One of the places I love to go to in spring is on “The Havel”. This is one of the biggest areas of the lakes surrounding Berlin.
This tour is not so far away from where I live, and easy to reach.
The great thing is, I am learning to be a rawfoodist, and so the thought of what to take with for the journey is no problem.
Mainly at this time the farmers are also all over the place offering their fresh fruits and vegetables. We have strawberry and asparagus time now…and these I also eat raw. They are so lovely crisp and juicy. Of course they need to be peeled, so if I do not have a peeler with…they are a great enjoyment after a tour.
What really matters is the weather and, it was so great. Not too warm, but warm enough to get a bit more colour and to ride without a jacket.
When the weather is fine, Berlin is alive. Even in the cold water some were cooling themselves off. I noticed they didn’t stay in for very long.
The beaches occupied by happy children building their sand castles or digging through to Australia (probably will get there for Rugby 2011).
Mothers laying out the picnic basket, fathers chillaxing and just enjoying being away from the stress of business life.
The roads were filled of course with cyclists..and do they sometimes have a speed.
The enjoyable part is being able to ride close to the water, watch the ducks, the birds, the yachts with their sails flapping in the breeze and enjoy the glistening of the sun on the water. Just to sit there, eat bananas, pears and whatever, feeling the cool water when drinking away ones thirst, is relaxing pure.

And then came another side of life…although it was a Sunday, there were workers digging, driving trucks, the path was blocked, the dust flew in the air and for some kilometres everyone’s attitude was changed.
It is understandable that some things have to be completed before the great invasion happens, but it was unexpected and therefore a little disturbing. However, it was only for a few kilometres.
Added to this was something far more disturbing and really sad. The shores were full of rubbish. Now, this can only come from folk throwing their stuff around or in the water. The poor ducks swimming among plastic bottles!
The nature here is absolute beautiful. Of course the thought came to me to wonder what has happened to us as humans.
We are the highest beings of the creation. Have been all created unique in ourselves. No one is the same. All created to fit together, to form a world that functions properly and to carry the responsibility to see that it does. We have been given the possibility to think, to feel, to act, to change, to love, to build. All the positive actions and possibilities there are, laid in the human’s hands.
But, the decision is often the opposite.
A nature, spoiled through carelessness.
It made me think and to take new steps concerning my own self. I am not the only one in the world and this world is there for each one of us to enjoy. Why make a mess of it?
Why make a mess of yourself?
Why make a mess of your surroundings?

It’s a great world, and a human is finely built.
Care for it all and do yourself the favour and care for yourself. It’s worth it. Just need to each one do their part.

Summer is on the way here in Europe, in other lands the winter time.
Whatever, everything has its beauty and its freedom. This is all given for us to care for and to enjoy.
Off to the next bike trip…oh, and don’t forget when eating strawberries, eat also the little green leaves!

Lazy Exercises

2010-04-08T11:47:00.000-07:00

Coming from shopping one day, I was carrying in each hand a full bag of goodies. Oranges, apples, mangoes, bananas and the usual things one needs in a household. They were both quite heavy and I wondered how much I would be carrying, when suddenly it struck me I could use both the bags as weights. Swinging them back and forth I could use the time to train my triceps. Lifting them with a bent arm meant training the biceps. So, what often seems a tedious task moves over to something positive and strengthening.

There are many little things one can do throughout the day. It is just a matter of mind-set and desire to improve and support the body to keep fit and healthy.

Roger Haeske shares many exercises you can do...actually, right now!

http://ihid.us/?i=2dp

======================================================

"3o - Second Blubber Burner" by Roger Haeske

I know you don't feel like exercising. How dull, how boring, who wants to do it. I'm a sloth and I don't want to move quickly. Getting up from the couch to eat dinner is my kind of exercise!

Now why don't you think about something else? Maybe there's a way for even a lazy sloth like creature to enjoy exercise and to get extreme results.

The key is in knowing a variety of exercises you can do quickly and that you can do anywhere without exercise equipment or needing to go to a gym.

When you arm yourself with exercises like this even a sloth can have a body like Bruce Lee. You see, you can get really fit in lazy 30 to 60 second intervals.

You can even continue watching commercials after your 30 to 60 seconds of exercise. The key is to exercise just a little bit, but to do it throughout the day.

You don't even have to push yourself. Let's say you can do 10 push-üps in a row as your maximum number. Then don't strain yourself. Just do a set of 3 to 4 push-ups with good form.

Then when you feel like it, try doing another set. Give yourself a goal to do 50 push-ups for the day.

With this lazy strategy, you'll barely feel like you're exerting yourself, yet at the end of the day, you'll be able to feel the incredible results.

Because a little bit is infinitely better than doing nothing. And when you do many small exercises throughout the day it really builds up. You can take these 30 second exercise breaks at work, at home or wherever.

Try incorporating a number of different callisthenic type exercises. Maybe you could do a set of 30 jumping jacks. Or on another 30 second break you do broad jumps, or hop with both legs.

Imagine how fit you could get after watching a two hour program and doing at least one of these exercises per commercial break? You'd get fit, burn fat, and increase your energy levels without breaking a sweat.

This really works. I often workout like this. Especially when I'm feeling lazy. Even while I'm working at the computer and writing, if I feel like taking a break and energizing myself, I make an exercise break.

I'll do one or two different exercises. For me these routines sometimes last 30 seconds and sometimes a few minutes. The more inspired I am the longer I might go.

But I don't have to push myself. There's a magic to exercising, even just a little bit. That little bit tends to make you want to do more. The exercising changes your energy levels and even your emotions.

You start to feel better about yourself and soon you want to do more. The Lightning Speed Fitness Program has many different kinds of exercises you can use for your 30-second sloth like fitness program. And it's not just bodyweight exercises.

There are stealth exercises you can do at work in which no-one will even be able to detect that you're exercising.

Don't just be bored at work, get fit while you sit.

So why not check it out for yourself and start melting fat faster than King Kong swatting down a biplane on top of the Empire State Building.

Yeah, I know that didn't make much sense. I just wanted to say something with King Kong in it. Certainly King Kong was mighty strong!

So crawl on over here for a lazy way to energise yourself and drop the excess hippo flab:

Instant Exercising

2010-03-02T12:05:00.000-08:00

It's like this.........
there are certain things that need to be the foundation for success. Time Management is one of them. So...I read all about it, answered Surveys to find out what type of person I am, created personal lists of pros and cons, meditated....got it all in the row and am full of joy for what would happen!
And it does happen...the phone rings and I am needed for child-care at an extra time!
....or something terrible like I forget to put in the hose which runs the water into the bathtub when I do the washing and....well, at least the floors get nicely cleaned!
Now, the last was that my husband had a fall. Now, this is not at all good for him and does mean he needs a time in hospital.....I did not calculate with this either.

So, there needs to be some instant ideas!
How do I fit it all in.
Plan destroyed!
I usually have some sort of sport program...On Tuesday this, on Thursday that and set also the times. Now everything gets more or less thrown overboard.

This is not only a picture of my life. This is probably yours too.

What has greatly helped me during this time is that I found a good solution in one connection...

.....Sport!

Usually I go Nordic-walking for a while and then have a bout of tennis plus the usual stretching etc.
That takes a couple of hours.....plus the nice shower afterwards.
So it has to be cared for over these busy periods.
But actually, not only at such a time, but also for those who are not like I am, on Pension and have freedom of time, but for those who have their long hours of work....

Did you know that sitting for a couple of hours too long on your computor or anywhere for that matter (not sure how it is on the beach!) shortens your life?
So, it is good to know what one can do to not allow ourselves to be robbed of the fitness we should have.

I do Roger's mini-work-outs!

I started with press-ups and managed 10!
Come on....I now am up to 30! (don't forget my age, please!!)

His "Superman" ones are really trying....these are for the strong guys!

So, if you are in this position of not having much time, or having things destroy that nice plan you made for the week and everything has turned upside down...don't get disappointed, don't just give up! Go get the MiniWorkOuts and you'll still build up those muscles and hold your fitness.
Give yourself just fifteen minutes and this will hold over until things straighten out again.
Not only that, but they are ideal for the inbetween times when the sport program gets into shape again.

Oh, where you will find Roger, the 41 year old Teenager? Take it he must be 42 this year!

Not only should one have a new eating life-style to get more energy and able to achieve your ideal weight without the normal diets, but you should think about cleansing your system to get rid of all the bad stuff that slows you down and keeps you from achieving your best. I would recommend you do it under supervision. This worked super for me and you not only get cleansed but many of your little "troubles" may even disappear. Start today getting real fit. You owe it to yourself. http://ping.fm/UGQw7

2010-02-22T09:43:00.001-08:00

A Health Report gave the information how dangerous it can be to go on many of the Diets offered. Now that winter is almost over in many places the desire for the right figure causes one to get hold of one of these diets. Unfortunately this firm then offered another solution, tested of course, but in tablet form. I could not quite understand the real difference, but probably because this was a proven tested formula.
Well, actually I do not know why I try to find an answer. It just seems to contradictory...so I choose rather to keep to changing your eating life-style. It is healthy, delicious and no effort. Oh, Frederic will help and give all the advice and know how one needs to get a changeover. He's so much information to share...but the foundation is very easy. http://ping.fm/WJ1PP

Footprints in the Snow

2010-02-19T13:19:00.001-08:00

Germany has had a massive amount of snow over the last weeks. Sadly the sun has hardly shone to bring out the beauty of the snow when it sparkles and glistens.
We live direct on a park. Usually when night falls it is dark and dreary, you know, sort of spooky. When snow falls it lightens up everything.
It is wonderful to awake in the morning and everything is quiet and, looking out, one sees the whiteness reaching out across where lawn and paths used to be. There is only one wish and that is to get out and enjoy it.
Walking through the snow some thoughts went through my mind. I remembered the Christmas song "Good King Wenceslas". You probably know it to:

"Sire, the night is darker now,
And the wind blows stronger,
Fails my heart, I know not how,
I can go no longer."

And then the wonderful reply:

"Mark my footsteps, good my page
Tread thou in them boldly.
Thou shalt find the winter's rage
Freeze thy blood less coldly".

Walking through the snow with a little fellow one day, he also found the snow too deep, so I told him to tread in my footsteps. This was fun and developed into a fun game.

But there is an amazing truth in it.
We follow in the footsteps of our parents, or a teacher, or someone who influences our lives.
Sometimes we tread out and have to find out we need to get back into them again.

And so it is with our HEALTH. This is so important.
It is a great difference just living and eating and having fun without thinking what effect this has on our lives and our bodies...until we start realising that we are not so fit anymore, or not feeling well, or always cathing colds. Not to mention the more heavy diseases that catch up with us.
It is then that we start seeking doctors or hospitals. It is then that we start becoming aware of things written or are reminded of certain "tips" we had heard.

Whatever, what is important is to find the right way to now deal with the health situation.

The best place is to tread in the footsteps of those who have had experience.
This is what I did. This brought results. This can for you too. Whether weight problems, or other health problems, never give up to seek someone who has treaded the way for you.

YOU NEED TO WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF THOSE WHO HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND TREAD IN THEM BOLDLY.

Notice what King Wenceslas said "MARK my footsteps". Not only tread in them. Before you tread in them MARK THEM. See exactly what is meant. Keep your eyes fixed on them. Don't get caught up with something else. MARK THEM.

You will often be shown through reports, through books, through videos exactly where you should tread.

Further the song goes on to say:

"Heat was in the very sod
Which the saint had printed"

An extra BONUS! No need to say more.

My thankfulness goes again and again to those who have paved the way. If it was not for their desire to help others, to tread down the hard experience of finding out what works and what does not, of reading books, of going to seminars, this help would never have been there.

I can give a list of folk who have treaded the health path and who I am able to follow. Those who have been willing to share their knowledge and experience to help get fit and retain health once more. They have a true interest of making the way easier for those who are plodding through the heavy snow.

Just to close, let me share one such person and hope you will find the help you need in search for an answer to retain your health or to improve it.

If You Drink Coffee Make Sure it is Organic

2010-02-04T08:22:00.000-08:00

Before I came to Europe I used to drink instant coffee. However, I have never enjoyed the taste in whatever form.
During my first months in Europe I was introduced to German coffee. I thought my spoon would stand up in it! But, by drinking it now and again I soon became used to the taste and even began to like it. I admit, that today I enjoy the variations of coffee which are becoming more and more the lifestyle of relaxing or breakfasting out.

To my surprise I read on the site of Health and Profits with Frederic Patenaude how coffee effects our health. Just put "coffee" in the search on my Blog and you will find more details about this.

To enhance this thought, and to see that this is something to turn away from, I share this article from Dr. Mercola. Take his advice as well and look for alternatives to keep you fit and healthy.

Don't forget it's the little drops that form the stone.

People Rather Take Pills

2009-10-16T14:52:00.001-07:00

Headlines on the "Ärzte Zeitung" 20.03.09:

"Herzkranke nehmen lieber Pillen, als sich gesund zu ernähren"
"People with heart problems rather take pills than to nourish themselves rightly"

Quite a thought... and of course it is easier to just swallow a pill than to change a whole life-style.
How little thought we give as to what this means to our health. In fact it is so often that we just believe blindly that what we are offered is the right solution. Information takes time and effort, and so we rather just take the easier way, but it can be a downfall.

I would like to make it easier and to create an interest as to a more healthy life. How would it be to get more information as to the alternative to taking pills and rather learn how to nourish yourself correctly.

Take the time to read and inform yourself. These books are a help to make this decision and you will be guided by experienced people who have gone through many illnesses themselves.

Get away from the danger of taking pills and adding toxins which later will break out in some illness.

Fit for your Daily Tasks

2009-10-14T02:48:00.000-07:00

Fit for daily tasks. I wonder how many times this is thought about. Daily tasks? Going to work, shopping, cleaning, polishing the car, ushering the kids from one thing to another, hanging up the washing....take what you like, we all have a looooooooong list of daily tasks.

The strange thing is that we do not think we need to be fit to complete these tasks.
I do child-care as a sideline. This means for me fetching the children, going out when the weather is great (or not so great!) and climbing to the 4th floor because they live on the 4th floor. This in Germany is good on the 90-100 steps due to the high rooms of the old buildings. To the time I weighed 21 more kilograms than I do now, this was for me, a puffing achievement, now with less weight much, much easier...and to that comes that I try as much as possible to do as much exercise as possible.

Of course it is not easy to plan this into the daily routine. Therefore I would suggest try Roger Haeske's Superbeing exercises and only 15 minutes are needed daily to get your self into a better gear. Oh, yes, I even do his press-ups. Never as many as could be reached, but I am gradually climbing the ladder.

http://ihid.us?i=2dp

I have difficulty keeping a daily management routine due to the fact that I need to be very fexible. However, when there really is a need to pep up the fitness level, many things can be done just on the side-line to get going. For instance, try walking a bit quicker to do your shopping, or go the long way round. Oh, and when you need to carry things home, put them in two bags and by swinging them back and forth you can train your triceps. I bet that is never thought of, that every exercise is worthwhile doing.

For instance, just recently I offered to help my youngest son in their new flat. It has to be renovated from top to bottom and the first thing is to get the wallpaper down. I tell you, this is a job and a half. I have never come across such a stubborn wallpaper. I was there for six hours. I really did everything that was given to be as advice. Still, it ended up scratching around for hours pulling and scrapping piece by piece but what a relief when one wall was finished. Exactly the same effort should be put in to get fit.....no matter how long it takes, every little bit helps!

So take up the challenge and join me to get as fit as you can. It helps in every area of your daily tasks. We really do not take enough time to realise how necessary it is to move around as much as possible and if you are in a buro the whole day, or need to build up your muscles, it is necessary to take the right direction for your requirements.

To your health.

Am I overeating?

2009-10-02T15:02:00.000-07:00

It is hard to believe but it is true. One feels it is overeating. However, if I do not eat this amount I am not getting the nutrition I need to cope with my daily routines.
So what am I eating?
I told someone the other day when they asked me that I had already munched away 6 bananas, after having a breakfast of a smoothie with 4 oranges and spinach leaves and a great chunk of celery. Oh, and inbetween a really, and I mean really large bowl of mixed salad.

Sometimes at a meal with my husband, whom I still cook for, he will look at my really, really large bowl of salad and ask if that really fills me? No, and yes. I get filled, but it is not a heavy feeling. It satisfies the hunger I had at that time. When looking at the nutritional value, I think I would score more.

Let's make a "thumb" check:

What I ate:
2 medium stalks of Celery
3 cups of Green leaves
1 cup of grated cucumber
2 medium carrots
3 tomatoes
with juice of 1 lemon

Actual Intake: (Custom Nutrition Goals)

Calories: 184.3 kcals
Fat: 2.0 g
Calories from Fat: 16.6 kcals
Cholesterol: 0.0mg
Calcium: 187.4 mg

Calories: 184
Fat: 2.0g 17 Calories 9%
Carbohydrate: 41.1g 146 Calories 79%
Dietary Fiber: 14.5g
Protein: 8.0g 22 Calories 12%

Now what my husband ate:

2 Fish Fillets, steamed
2 cups mixed veggetables
3 medium boiled potatoes

Actual Intake: (Custom Nutrition Goals)

Calories: 1.017.6 kcals
Fat: 26.2g
Calories from fat: 232.3
Cholesterol: 91.5 mg
Calcium 247.1

Calories: 1,018
Fat: 26.2g 232 Calories 23%
Carbohydrate: 124.6g 493 Calories 48%
Dietary Fiber: 17.2g
Protein: 73.8g 292 Calories 29%

I have not mentioned the Nutritional values (Vitamins, Minerals etc.) but perhaps this will give an idea of the differences between the two kinds of menus. This was a normal meal.

It is so important to be aware of what we are feeding ourselves with. I often am amazed how much care one is given in the feeding of animals, whether at home or at the zoo. I find we should be just as sensitive to our own "feeding" habits.

Recently I was at a Health Trade Fair. There was much offered in the way of keeping yourself healthy. If you have back trouble, or migraine, there were possibilities to test your blood-pressure as well as lung volume. One area interested me where it was possible through virbrations to see where the actual point lay which could be causing certain health problems, and could then be better dealt with through certain mixed powders or therapies.
I enjoyed a back massage which was very relaxing.
Of course beds, matresses, chairs, health helps for older folk, wellness hotels, homes for elderly people were offered in abundance.
What I mostly enjoyed was the pure water that was offered. This tasted really good.
Getting hungry was a problem because I hardly eat any cooked food anymore, but what was offered was also not so healthy in comparison to what we should be eating. Just at one place was it possible to get an orange juice.

Why mention this? The one and only reason is because we are paying very little attention to the actual cause of our illness and the actual cure of the illness or health problem.

I do not think I am overeating. I have heard of others who eat far more fresh foods due to the activities they do. What is important is WHAT YOU ARE EATING!

Just a question now. When have you last cleansed your body from all the slack that has been built up over the last months or years? Oh, and I walked through an intestine. Yes, really, there was a huge intestine built up to walk through to see the difference of what it should be to what it perhaps is........quite frightening so I am now challenged after seeing that to immediately start paying more attention and taking the time to cleanse my body once again now that the seasons are again changing over.
Something like what we do for our cars, you know....once or twice a year a good old check-up and oil-change and all that.
Oh, and where I can get the information?
Right here....and an invitation for you to take the time and get yourself cleaned up and get the extra energy and health which should be yours.

First take a look at what may be inside you:
http://ihid.us/?i=0e7
And then get over, get the book and clean up ("21 Best Detox Diets" or "Green for Life"): http://ihid.us/?i=0i3

Wish you all the best for your health.
It is a blessing to be healthy..both for you and your family. Perhaps "overeating" can be put into another category....that of unhealthy eating.

Cleansing Yourself

2009-10-02T14:38:00.001-07:00

Talking to my neighbour about the need for a cleanse.
Why would I want to do this?
Well, I myself have benefited from cleansing my body over a certain period.
We rarely think about this and it is not often that someone challenges us, or even advises us to take this care of ourselves.
I came upon this thought after having been diagnosed with high blood-pressure. It was then a challenge for me to find an alternative way to the medication I was taking. Not only this was a problem, but now I had put on 12 kilograms more. This, to my mind of thinking was exactly what I should not have....extra weight.

Each change of season gives the opportunity to care for cleansing ourselves to be more healthy and fit.
We do it for our cars, why not for our own health?
We spring-clean our houses, why not our bodies?

It took me a short time, only about ten days to do the first cleanse. Already then I lost quite some kilograms. Through this I completely changed my way of eating. Over a period of a year I was free of 21 kilograms and have already been a few months without medication.

It is no fable, it is a fact. Nowhere do we really get encouraged to see to it that we are doing the right things for our health.

Ever made the thought that your body should and is capable of healing itself? Well, it is true.
We are so wonderfully made that having the right care and built on the right foundation our bodies can heal themselves. This is a miracle of nature which we have actually deformed due to our desire of "a better life".

Not to be dismayed, there is still the opportunity to get things to a better level.
Take the time to inform yourself and to read about others who have made this decision and have had success.

Vibrant Health with Delicious Green Smoothies

Someone once asked me if I had enough to chew on because I was mostly eating Green Smoothies. Well, my meals were not only this, but I admit because of the great taste, I really could just live on them!
What are they?
Why should we eat them?
Do they look appetising?
Do they taste appetising?

Allow me to give this quote from the RawFamily themselves:

The Radical Leap Toward Natural Health
by Victoria Boutenko

"Thanks to processed and fast foods, being overworked, and feeling stressed while eating on the fly, it is increasingly difficult for most of us to eat anywhere near a balanced diet. We may not be obviously sick, but may suffer from lack of focus, insomnia, sluggishness, or any host of symptoms....
Combining nutrition and know-how with recipes that pack a powerhouse punch, Victoria Boutenko reintroduces long neglected fruits, vegetables, and greens in the most persuasive style for our busy lives: with fast prep and delicious results. Featuring 200 recipes, Green Smoothie Revolution offers both simplicity (4 ripe pears, 1 bunch parsley, 2 cups water; blend well) and enough variety to keep taste buds happy and nutrients coming from a wealth of options."

Nothing more to be said, except that your health will benefit greatly. Not only that, but your time in the kitchen becomes so much more interesting.

Take time to do something for yourself and increase your energy, have better sleep and experience health changes.

My Day

2009-09-30T10:56:00.001-07:00

My day:

Thought just to share a little of how my day flows.
I usually have a very variable plan for the day, due to my activities and doing child-care.
Having a family of my own, and having this opportunity of caring for the children of working Mom's and Dad's, I need to be flexible.
So...this is a day out of my life in short-form:

Played tennis against the wall for half and hour.
Went walking for three-quarters of an hour (with stretching).
Now my day can begin....not to mention the very important meditation time I spent before doing some sport.
After a nice glass of home-made lemon-water I went shopping
A nice breakfast of banana/green smoothie I visited my sons' new flat. They will be having to work on this from top to bottom, so any help is welcome.
After cooking for my husband and enjoying a crispy mixed-salad lunch I hopped of to child-care.
In the evening an apple/spinach smoothie.

For sure, Smoothies and fantasy makes the day go round. http://ihid.us?i=3ur

Cars, Home and "ME"

2009-07-31T04:25:00.000-07:00

We all love cars, we all love our homes, and the "ME"?

It is a common belief that we are spiritual beings. We live in a human body. Our bodies have been given to us to "live in". Of course this theme is always good material for a long discussion, but that is not the point here. Let us talk more about these "bodies"which carry us through life day after day.
Your Car
A good comparison to us living in our bodies would be getting into a car and driving it. Or, living in a house or flat. We go into them, they surround us. Maybe these examples will help to increase our understanding of the importance of our bodies and give new views on the way we deal with them.
Close to where we live is an open park space under a city highway bridge. One can go there mostly anytime of the day and find folk there cleaning, polishing or fixing their cars. Mostly men, of course! Especially over the weekend when relaxation is needed after a hard week in the office. It is a good relax technique and sooths the nerves. First the car gets washed and then receives a good polish. Everything gets taken out before the inside gets cleaned out. Not to forget looking into the engine to see how water, oil, or the battery are doing. One moves this little cord here, checks up this bolt there.....and at the end of the day when everything is in it's place there is a feeling of relaxtion crowned with satisfaction that "it will hold a few years still"!

My attention lies with my bicycle. I use it for transport, for shopping, for relaxation, it is very important to me and therefore, even though I am able to repair a flat tyre or fix up a few things, I see to it that it has a yearly overhaul. I do not know what I would do without it, quite honestly. We have a good transport system here, but there is nothing like moving around independant of all this.

Your Home
As a woman I enjoy seeing to it that my home is clean and as far as possible tidy. When I first came to Europe I was amazed at what an offer there is with carpets, curtains, furniture. All to make the home more comfortable, more beautiful and better than the Joneses!

The "Me"
Spiritually we also need balance. Thus we care for our activities, culture, friendships, therapies, organisations, churches, confessions, seeking spiritual guidance, hearing certain spiritual music or listening to certain preachers. Whatever we choose, it serves to care for us individually, as a spiritual being.

Just as we sit in a car, or enter a house, care must be taken for the objects around us.
But what with our bodies which we occupy day in, day out and are never freed from until we die. It has to carry us through years and years and years and we cannot just change or renew the parts! Just doesn't work.

Taking Care
So, now we have it. We probably do not take the care we should. Sure ,we bath, care for make-up, deordorants, good clothing, expensive jewellery or parfumes, but what about what's inside? You take a brush to clean your teeth, but what about the roots? Ever thought of taking a brush to clean your liver, or your kidney? What about your intestines? How are you going to get that rubbish all freed?
If you are not caring for yourself inwardly, just like a car which will not run if not cared for, you will also "conk out"! Or, smell like a house that has never had the right attention.
If you put sugar in the petrol tank of a car, what happens?
Put Olive oil in instead of the special oil needed?
Would never think of it.
Why then send down your throat alcohol, smoke and foods that create toxin and later cause us to "conk in"! We become sick, old, low on energy, cannot function properly.
If we see a rust spot on the car, or mould in the bathroom,then there is high life! The causes and how to get rid of it are the first thoughts that come into our minds.

Do we react the same when we have a cold? It was a draft, or getting cold after sport, or, everyone has a cold in the office, and we continue to make excuses instead of finding out what we really need to know: what caused it?
These are thoughts that have followed me from the time I began to take medication for high-blood-pressure and, instead of remaining at the weight, put on at least 12 kilogram. Weight and high-blood-pressure just do not go together. So the search began, what can I do, what have I done wrong, why, why, why?

The "Me" Solutions and Side Effects
Surfing ad lib through the internet I stumbled across Dr. Susanne Gudakunst and my journey began.
Just click here and you will see why: http://ihid.us?i=0e7

I began to realise how important it is to care for what is inside me. This lead me to the desire to start getting this out. How do I polish and clean this whole thing up so that I run again more smoothly.
It is possible to cleanse? If so, how? Please do not do it alone without guidance. We are not cars that can be thrown over and bought anew, so support is necessary. However, it is really easy, simple and enjoyable. Within a few months there was a change in my weight.

Get rid of parasites; get rid of toxin caused through alcohol, smoking, wrong foods; learn how candida affects your body. Get clean and healthy.
Over a period of a year 20 kilograms have been taken care of through cleansing and nutritional change: http://ihid.us?i=0i3

Fitness
Coming back to cars. If they are not "run" periodically, they will rust. Ever heard the thought "it needs a real good runout to blow it through".
I once bought an old Vanguard. It was my first car. Had stood for ages. When my automechanic friend eventually had it on the road it coughed and spluttered. However, after some kilometers the choking stopped and it began to purr!
We are no different. No exercise, no result. You will continue coughing and puffing.

Take care that it functions smoothly.

A Story!

2009-07-27T09:41:00.000-07:00

A Story? Well, not exactly, but I wanted to share something and so actually it is a story. Well, it happened to me, so it is my story.

It has always been my motto not to tell anyone to try out something until I have tried it myself or read enough about it.
This is not always a possibility because one is not infallible due to being human, and also due to the fact that we are, as humans, unique. We all respond to certain situations differently. This applies also to our health.
It started off with taking supplements. I had such good results that it was no problem to bring this into the family and friends circle. However, I was hesitant because of not wanting to “push” anyone.
During the time that I then put on much weight due to medication I decided to search more in the health direction. The reason for this being that I could not get an answer that satisfied my questioning.
Let me give an example. Due to high blood pressure I had gained about 12 kilograms. Now anyone would know that this is exactly what must not happen! To my question I received the answer to do more exercise and watch what I eat. However, this did not bring the result I wanted, although I was glad that my weight remained stable.
Through my research I came across
Chapter 1: Dr. Susanne Gudakunst:

http://ihid.us/?i=0e7

Here I found information that really made me start thinking because certain matters were touched upon of which I had never heard. For instance the reason we have difficulties losing weight, or such things as Candida.
I knew from my time taking supplements and what I had heard at gatherings, that “death lies in the intestines” but had no idea how to deal with it.

Through her suggestion I ended up with Roger Haeske:

Later Frederic Patenaude:

This was my first touch with Raw Food and the help I needed to know how to really get the right nutrition for myself.
This inspired me to read deeper into this and get even more information.
I decided to follow Frederic Patenaude and do two cleanse with him.
My husband was away at the time, so I could experiment. To my surprise I started rapidly losing weight. I admit it was probably mostly water that left due to the medication. But this was exactly what I wanted to happen. I had thought that my weight gain was due to water and even though I had tablets against it, it was a turning circle.
Now it was off and I have lost over the last year 20 kilograms.
I will add with the addition of sport activities, which I was doing before anyway.
Roger Haeske’s 15 minute program is great on this.

During the last year I have had the great “joy” of getting a tooth replaced.
After the implant was placed in, through something I read (unfortunately I forgot to jot it down), I began to think that maybe I did not need to lose this tooth at all. The reason I lost it was due to a cyst which had filled the cavity. I later read that even teeth can heal. Logic or?
They also belong to our bodies. Hope to find out more about this. Frederic Patenaude has a great book on this as well. I’ve just ordered it for myself, by the way, due to this experience with my tooth. I don’t want to go through this procedure again, it not only is uncomfortable, but costs a whole lot of money!
On top of this, pus started to cover my tonsils. (I’ve started wondering if this came from the Titan screw or “root” being toxic). At first appearing very small, then disappearing, but after doing some sport, again returned. This happened twice, but the second time it built up to about a mass as large as my thumb nail. I had, though, no pain! Just the feeling something is there that shouldn’t be. I take it that having done two cleanse and eating mostly just fruit and raw vegetables had an effect on the whole procedure that it never caused pain. I have no idea how this all works, but it sounds logic to me.

My first thought was to go to my doctor and get it dealt with. Tonsils? Not funny.
However, she was on holiday and as I needed a transfer to another doc., this left me without an alternative. Then I remembered having read, again somewhere….I really must jot these things down…..that if one has a cold or is not feeling well, it is a good idea to have a day fasting, and just drink water so that the body has rest and can heal itself.
So I decided to try this, would anyway do me good.
To my surprise the whole matter disappeared without me noticing it.
The sad thing was that a couple of days later two spots appeared again, but due to the fact that I was still being careful what I ate and had eaten just fruit for a couple of days, one morning when I woke up there was something in my mouth. Igit! Looked like a little chip of nut or so.
Everything was cleared up and since then nothing more.
Well, this was my first real experience how the body CAN heal itself. I was really excited about the results.
Now that I have experienced this, this confirms for me how good it is to continually take care of ones own self and take the suggestions given to one and to take this much more seriously.

One thing that makes me sad is how folk are so much more content to take medicine and add more problems to their problems, than at least to give it a try. There are so many of us with health problems. Talk to anyone you want, especially up a certain age. Then things catch up.

It is known that there are difficulties in turning over to Raw Food and that when not having the right guidance through others who have years of experience in both directions, that we can have the assurance of being taken through a procedure, may ask questions, get advice, read books, join forums where care is taken to come to the point of our regaining better health, adding to it more strength and more energy.
However, it does take a commitment and willingness plus the conviction that this is worth the try. Just start with one of the above and your health will change for the better.
I hope this will give you the desire to find out more. So, to your health this is an important part of your life.

DAILY BREAD

2009-07-18T15:45:00.000-07:00

What is Bread?
I think there is hardly a person in the world who does not know what bread is. Bread belongs to the Grain family.
Of course it comes in various forms, sometimes round, square, long, shaped, flat and even rolled. Then there are the famous bread rolls, or the American Hamburger rolls, not to mention that there is white bread, corn bread, brown bread, crispy bread, sunflower seed bread, pumpkin bread, pumpkin seed bread, full corn bread.
I think I have never seen so many kinds of bread as here in Germany. Of course we must not forget the famous French Baguette.

As a child one of my special times with my Mother, who cared for four of us, alone, was when she received her pay. When I was old enough I would meet her when she left work and with her pay we would go to the local backer. An inviting aroma reached us as we came closer and my mouth began to water. Standing at the counter was the baker and in front of him little bread rolls spread with icing sugar. They were only a few ‘pennies’ and this was my end-of-the-month treat. Mom also bought warm bread and it was difficult to resist the temptation not to pull out a piece before getting home.
Bread is world wide. Used for school, for work, for picnics. It is hard to imagine the world without it.
Having grown up enjoying bread, spread with butter, or jam, or refreshing with cucumber slices or lettuce, it was difficult for me to think that this source of nutrition has another side to it.

• As I wrote at the beginning, bread belongs to the grain family.
• It is a concentrated food (i.e. the water content is reduced through treatments such as cooking or conserving)as also pastas,
rice or butter and oils. We need water content of about 70% because our bodies consist of 70% water. (Fit for Life by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond page 61).
• While being low in fat, bread has the advantage of providing energy in the form of complex sugar, IF we do not add a thick slice of butter to it.
• However, it is also starch (complex carbohydrate). This means the body must convert this main source of complex sugar (the starch) into simple sugar which means for us that energy is needed to perform this.
• The other problem is that minerals, vitamins and enzymes are destroyed through the baking or cooking procedure. Grains do not have their own taste and need to be seasoned or cooked to be appreciated.
• What must concern us through all this is that disease can be caused or aggravated through the consumption of bread and grains.
• According to Albert Mosséri these diseases can follow: common cold, flu, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia, colitis, asthma, allergies, diabetes, arthritis, arteriosclerosis and even heart attacks.• Helmut Wandmaker writes that bread and grains build mucus and therefore our throats, nose and bronchial tubes get clogged.
• Mr. Wandmaker has in his book “Willst Du Gesund sein? Vergiß den Kochtopf!” (“Do You Want to be Healthy…Forget the Cooking Pot”) a whole capital titled “Should we eat bread”. This covers grains as well as rice or pasta. It is to notice that grains, often found in bread are acid-forming, not to think of the well-loved cereals.

To keep our bodies healthy and to support it in its process of healing, we need to avoid foods that cause disease and illness and tend more to eating fresh and water-filled foods such as fruits and vegetables which should be our main source of diet.
To maintain your health, watch your intake of grains, bread, pasta, rice or any starchy foods which will clog your system and rather choose the healthy, water-filled, fresh intake of fruits and vegetables, adding to them a good deal of green salad leaves.

Prevention and Cure

2009-07-17T13:18:00.000-07:00

Prevention is better than Cure!

These words are not new to us: ‘Prevention’ and ‘Cure’. We remember them even from our early days. Perhaps it was the joy of having to take a teaspoon of some terrible tasting medicine given to us as prevention against diseases.

I remember while at school we were all given a little sack to hang around our necks with garlic in it to prevent us from some type of disease going around. I do not even remember what it was, so probably it worked because I never became ill at that time. A good old garlic necklace!

At the end of the winter time it was normal for us to give our children a ‘Vitamin push’ as prevention to all the nasty colds that were flying around. The immune system should be built up so that we can face these strange ‘things’ flying around wanting to make us ill.
We never knew what they were and we never saw them, but we were sure it must be the right thing to do. No one really wants to get ill, especially in childhood.
How awful to stay in doors for days while everyone is out playing. Missing school was not the problem…! Just the thought of all that catching up later!

I am sure that if we could, we would avoid anything that makes us ill. Anything! But, we are not able to control it all and so there must be a way to be able to fight against the terrible viruses and bacteria flying around.
“Wash your hands!” or “Hand before your mouth!” All these are vital admonishments causing us to remember that prevention is far better than cure.

Now, let us take a look in the Oxford Dictionary.
‘Prevent’ is to hinder, to stop. As preventative it means “serving to prevent, esp. (Med.) to keep off disease”.

There are so many things we try to prevent, smuggling, drugs, excess alcohol, accidents, murders, wars and we can go on, but we want to look at prevention and cure in the medical sense.

Further, ‘Cure’. Back to the dictionary it carries the meaning of something that cures; “restoration to health”; “course of medicinal or healing treatment”. As a verb much the same, “restore to health”, or “relieve (of disease)”.

Perhaps looking into a medical dictionary would bring me closer to the meaning. However, it is not necessary to spend too much time on the meaning.

More important is what is being used as prevention or cure?

I have high-blood-pressure. Now I need something to prevent me getting a heart attack.
The most known way is to take certain medication. This works, the blood pressure comes down, and so I am protected now against becoming a heart attack.

So far so good! But why give me medication against the possibility of a heart attack instead of curing the cause of the high-blood-pressure?

Medication has side-effects which I will also have to deal with: headaches, weight-gain, tiredness, and so on.

If I deal now with the actual reason for the high-blood-pressure I see the possibility of not needing medication at all and also the possibility to avoid a heart-attack.

But who will take the time to sit down with me and get down to the cause? Not only that, but to find ways to deal with the cause so that I can recover my health.

Taking medication or operating it out, are ways of dealing with our health problems. I recently had a tooth pulled because of an abscess! This has cost me financially a big hole in my purse! Was it not possible to clear this some other way?
Mostly such possibilities do not get considered.
There are probably many stories like this…so let’s move on.

Due to medication I had a weight increase of 12 kilograms. Not at all good for high-blood-pressure! So, being probably “only” water, I needed another medicament to get that out. But the 12 kg remained.
Well, off now to do more sport, eat fruit and veggies and take no salt.
All very good tips but not with the success one wishes.

So, I decided to search in internet. I started my journey with Dr. Susanne Gudakunst. Her website made me real nervous, but gave me many answers at the same time.
Here I read what was possibly going on inside my body, learnt about Candida, about toxins and not only the necessity to change my nutritional intake, but tips on what and how to do so.

Read more about it here: http://ihid.us?i=0e7

Going from there, I read we need a cleansing to get rid of old matter which would cause disease in the body. I have probably been piling up old matter for years. This led me to search further and I landed on the website of Frederic Patenaude.

Since then I have done two cleanses and have not only lost 12 kg, but 20 kg, without going on a diet! And as an extra to that I have more energy and wake up more refreshed…..and the Tinnitus that I have has started to become much quieter! At last!! Trrrp, trrrp!!
Interested to know what I am talking about?

Just visit: http://ihid.us?i=0i3

It is not just the matter of preventing; it is the matter of getting down to curing the cause. If you have a disease, it did not come from outside. The reason we have illnesses is due to the fact that we are not supporting our body in such a way that it receives adequate nourishment to remain healthy, to fight against the diseases attacking us or to heal itself.

I wish I had known this earlier. There are so many foods I would have avoided. They are not all good for us, but we do not take the time to think about it. We love parties, we love going to restaurants, and we love watching cooking shows, we love the taste of certain foods, we love just hopping in to get some prepared fast food, but we take little time to ask if that what I am eating nourishes my body.
Disease or illness becomes second nature to us, it becomes natural to life because so many feel the same way, or even have the same problems, his little packet to carry! It happens to everyone, especially when we get older. We think it is the way life should be. It always was, and always will be. But that is not the whole truth. We should take a certain control over our personal health.

Take time to read and search for answers for yourself. Start with that which I have mentioned, read the Blogs or the home pages, try it out, see what works and learn from those who have gone through the experiences.

Want to read something where there was really success?

Then off you go: http://ihid.us?i=2c5

Medicine has become part of daily life, the answer to all problems? It has its place, that I know myself, but there is also a way to support your body to be able to heal itself. It is never too late to do one’s best.
Take care of yourself so that your body can do its best to heal itself. Remember, Prevent means “serving to prevent, esp. (Med.) to keep off disease”.
Prevention is better than Cure.

Prevent disease as naturally as you can, then you will not need to cure it.

A Healthy Breakfast together

2009-06-26T04:17:00.000-07:00

Today I met a friend of mine for breakfast. We have a lovely park here close by with a restaurant led by two sisters. Just to mention them as an encouragement...this was at earlier times an Italian restaurant who decided to sell. The two sisters saw this as an opportunity and a new dimension to the whole thing took place. New furniture, new ideas, new ways to present a delicious meal.
We asked one of the waitresses if it was well visited. The answer: it depends on word of mouth. Even some folk who live quite out of town had heard about it and dropped in for a meal.
During the meal, with which I enjoyed by eating a well-combined fruit salad and a fresh orange juice, my friend and I talked about nutrition. What is healthy, what not? Are illnesses caused by unhealthy ways of eating?
To this theme I add thoughts from Frederic Patenaude and hope you will get encouraged to think about your health being affected by what you eat.

"Top 5 Worst Foods You Can Eat That People Think Are Healthy"
by Frederic Patenaude

1- Fermented Cheese. Fermented, or ripened cheese is one of the most toxic foods known to man. The smallest quantity has a catastrophic effect on the system. It disturbs digestion and makes everything ferment in the digestive tract, so foods eaten don't benefit the body. According to Albert Mosséri, a European natural hygienist and researcher, fermented cheeses can create or exacerbate the following conditions: infection, fever, headaches, nausea, cold sensitivity, bad stools, bad digestion. Fermented (or ripened) cheese includes many French cheeses such as: camembert, roquefort, parmesan, blue cheese, aged goat cheese, brie, etc. Fresh or cooked cheese, aren't as bad, but are not recommended either. Their consumption leads to other problems. So in conclusion, no cheese is recommended for health, but fermented cheese should be avoided like poison.

2- Fish and Seafood. Fish is getting a good reputation these days. We are told to eat fish due to its richness in omega 3 oils.
That is too bad, because fish and seafood are some of the worst foods we can eat.
Fish has a tendency to putrefy much faster than meat - perhaps because it contains more protein. If you put a piece of meat and a piece of fish next to each other in the open air, you'll see that fish will go bad much faster. In our digestive tract, heat and humidity encourage this putrefaction. The poisons then created from the putrefaction of flesh foods, particularly fish, are dangerous to the system.
On top of that, there is absolutely no safe fish on this planet anymore. They are all more or less contaminated with heavy metals such as mercury, whose effects on the human body are extremely detrimental and difficult to deal with. We know that 40 tons of mercury are released into the US by power plants using coal combustion. The mercury contained in coal moves through the air, finds its way into the water and then accumulates in the flesh of fish that live in it. For that reason, there is no safe fish anymore. Just one serving can contain enough mercury or other heavy metal to contaminate a person. For all of those reasons, I would recommend avoiding fish like your life depended on it. Is seafood any better? It's actually worse. Animals such as lobsters, oysters, etc., are literally filters of the ocean. A large quantity of water goes through them which makes them some of the most contaminated “foods” on this planet.

3- Spicy Food. Spicy food is any food where strong (or mild) spices has been added to it. Spices include: black pepper, white pepper, cayenne pepper, ginger, chili peppers, raw garlic, raw onion, etc, and all the foods that contain them: kimchee, hot sauces, Tabasco, etc. The consumption of spices is extremely detrimental to health. They irritate the entire digestive tract, create mucus (that the body produces to protect itself), and wreck digestion.
Spices were first used as medicines, out of superstition, and then in food. People became quickly addicted to the stimulation they provide and found themselves progressively unable to enjoy food in its natural state. The worst food you can eat is spicy food, such as Indian, Thai, Mexican, etc. In someone not used to it, it will cause diarrhea.
The person that is used to it has undergone a process of morbid adaptation, where the protecting itself from the harsh spices by hardening its surfaces. This protects against the harmful effect of spices to some extent, but at the same time it greatly diminishes assimilation, no the food eaten doesn't benefit the body very much.
Children and anyone with normal instincts refuse spicy foods. Personally, I refuse to eat spicy food, whether the spices are in a raw dish or a cooked one.

4- Coffee, Black Chocolate and Cacao— First premise: coffee, chocolate and cacao (raw or cooked) are stimulants. They contain certain substances (caffeine and theobromine) that disturb the nervous system. If a person is eating a more natural diet, these poisons have an even more disturbing effect on the system. For a raw-foodist, one cup of coffee has the effect of maybe four cups for someone eating a standard American diet. Personally, half a cup of coffee taken in the morning will disturb my sleep at night, while my dad can drink a cup in the evening and still fall asleep. However, as Shelton wrote: “toleration to poisons is merely a slow method of dying. Instead of seeing in the phenomena of toleration something to be sought after, it is something to seek to avoid the necessity for.” A detoxified person is much like a child: she will strongly react to the smallest dose of any intoxicant.
So there is no room for compromise with caffeinated drinks and cacao products, which include: coffee, hot chocolate, black chocolate, raw cacao beans, black tea, green tea, maté tea, etc.

5- Wine, and alcohol — According to toxicology (the branch of pharmacology that deals with the nature and effects and treatments of poisons), alcohol is classified as a protoplasmic poison, because it is poisoning to both plants and animals - from the smallest microbe to the most complex animal. Alcohol kills microbes but also kills the cells of a complex organism, such as the human being. It is an intoxicant that ruins millions of lives and kills people by the thousand each day, directly or indirectly.
Unfortunately, it has become a social habit in many parts of the world to intoxicate oneself with alcohol. This poison habit is so prevalent and is such an intricate part of our lives that is now considered abnormal to abstain from this popular intoxicant. Most health professionals are aware of the ill effects of alcohol, but few will recommend to give it up completely. They will talk about “moderation.” “Drink, they will say, but be moderate.” How can someone be moderate with such an unhealthy and addictive product? To my understanding, moderation is only valid for the healthy factors of life, not unhealthy one. For example, no doctor will tell you, “be moderate in smoking,” although that is what they used to say. Can we be moderate with cocaine too?
Now, my readers should understand that when someone eats a healthy diet, alcohol has an even more disastrous effect on the body. That is because the body has stopped protecting itself from the various poisons found in a modern diet, because it is no longer or less in contact with them. Just like a child who has never taken alcohol will strongly react to it when drinking it for the first time. So my dear readers, even that little glass of wine has a catastrophic effect on the system. And when drunk with a meal, it makes everything ferment in the digestive tract. Now if you cannot resist that glass of wine, only have a little and on an empty stomach only, not with a meal."

(Hope this has been helpful and wish you great health. Nanette)

Energy and how to obtain it

2009-06-20T09:44:00.000-07:00

Due to the fact that in some parts of the world spring is moving on into summer and in other parts autumn is going into winter, energy is lacking. In spring it is the change from the sleepy winter months and in autumn it is the thought of the long dreary days ahead that rob us of our energy sources.
Whichever situation you are in, energy is needed to cope with our daily routine. Not only for the great athlete; the football player, but also for those in the office; the Mom running around getting the kids somewhere; illness that has knocked us back. Energy is needed everywhere, everyday. So, let's move on to what Frederic Patenaude has to share with us to get the best results. Happy reading and enjoy the surprises of where to obtain your energy boost.

"5 Secrets for Higher Energy"
by Frederic Patenaude

All right. Today we're going to talk about energy. Are there any of my readers who do NOT want more energy? Please raise your hand... no takers? Okay, let's keep going then.

My “secrets” for higher energy are actually key concepts to understand about energy. Those concepts are really obvious but often not understood by those who try to sell us their latest gimmick on how to get more energy.

Here they are...

Secret #1 - Energy Comes From Sleep, Not Food

Every day we go to bed with less energy than we woke up with, and we lay down for 6,7,8 or more hours to recharge our batteries. Ideally, this is how our body is supposed to function.

Although there are different scientific theories on the function of sleep, we all agree that it is essential to our well-being. Sleep is a time for repairing and restoring and it is the true source of our energy.

Food doesn't give us energy. Food provides fuel and other raw materials that the body uses to function. We require energy just to digest that food, and this is why when someone is sleep-deprived her digestion is greatly disturbed.

Your car may have a full tank of gasoline, but if the battery is dead it won't start. The same is true for you. You may eat all you want but in the end if you don't sleep enough to recharge your batteries you won't have energy.

So how much sleep do we need? There is no set number of hours, as each person's requirements are individual. What you need is *enough* sleep.

The likelihood that you're not getting enough sleep is very high. 56% of the adult population reports that drowsiness in the daytime is a problem.

If you experience daytime sleepiness or drowsiness, or if you need an alarm clock to wake up in the morning, you are sleep deprived. If this has been going on for a long time, then you may have accumulated a large “sleep debt.”

The solution? Pay off your debt. Sleep more.

Secret #2 - A Low-Fat, Raw Diet Gives You More Energy

Did you know that not all of the food that you eat becomes available to you as food, since digestion itself requires work and therefore fuel (calories)? Is it any wonder that after a big traditional meal people literally fall asleep? The digestion of their meal took so much energy that they had to “sleep it off” in a comatose state!

On the other hand, the digestion of fruit takes literally no energy. Fruit contains simple sugars that require no digestion. The water it contains also requires no digestion, as well as the fiber, which is evacuated.

In fact, the sugars in fruit start being absorbed under the tongue as soon as you take that first bite of peach or melon. It is the ultimate “high-energy food”: no digestion required, plenty of fuel available.

Raw vegetables also require very little digestion, but what they give us are mostly vitamins and minerals, as well as water, but very few calories.

Fatty foods as well as starchy foods require more energy to digest. They require more digestive enzymes, they stay longer in the stomach, and they require more energy to be available to you as fuel.

It has been my experience that eating a low fat diet composed essentially of fruits and vegetables gives you more energy, as long as you eat enough fruit to meet your caloric (fuel) needs.

Secret #3 - Exercise Takes Energy, But You Need It Anyway

We often hear that exercise gives energy. “Exercise more,” they say, “you'll have more energy.” Right there, there's a big misunderstanding. How could physical exertion give you energy? It *takes* energy!

After a long day of physical labor, you are more tired than when you just woke up. All that work took energy to do. And it will take the body a good night of sleep to recover.

People who are physically active, as well as athletes, need more sleep. Sleep requirements increase as training intensity increases.

However, the good thing is that by being physically active you increase your levels of fitness, which will make an impact on your capacity to handle your daily chores.

In other words, you will have greater physical abilities to go through your day without getting tired as easily as a sedentary person. The quality of your sleep will also improve, although you might need more of it.

A fit person will enjoy better digestion, improved sleep, and will feel more awake during the day, as long as they get enough sleep to recover from their physical activities.

Secret #4 - Energy Is Not Stimulation

Chronically-tired and low-energy people are always looking for something that will “give them energy.” They confuse energy with stimulation, and want a quick fix to feel better now, without thinking about the long-term consequences.

Let's take caffeine for example, keeping in mind that the same principles apply for other stimulants such as those foods in chocolate or raw cacao, recreational drugs, Chinese herbs and mushrooms, and any other product that is sold for the purpose of giving you “a quick boost of energy.”

Caffeine does not give you energy. It is not possible to scientifically measure any increase in energy when caffeine is consumed. What can be measured are higher levels of stress. This means that there is an increased production of stress hormones (such as adrenaline) and there is an increase in blood pressure and heart rate.

This is because caffeine “stimulates” you. It does not give you energy. You could say that caffeine “lends” you energy, which you must eventually pay back at a high price in health.
Let's add to that that caffeine and other stimulants are powerful addictive drugs. They do not give you any energy at all.

Secret #5 - You Need to Avoid Energy Drainers

If you want more energy, you must avoid the numerous energy drainers: all of those things that tend to drain your physical and emotional energy, as well as the things that decrease your motivation to take care of yourself.

Of course, sometimes stuff happens that isn't under your control, such as the death of a relative, but since your energy is limited it should be your goal to get rid of as many energy drainers as possible.

Energy drainersinclude: negative relationships, stressful jobs, pessimistic or cynical friends and relatives, the news on television, debt or other financial concerns that cause stress, living in a polluted environment, and many more.

Motivation drainers include: a messy office where you can't find anything, a long list of to-do's you've been trying to maintain in your head without success, lack of purpose in life, lack of self-esteem, being unfit and fat without any desire to exercise, living a life that is incongruent with your innermost values, and so on.

Actions Steps You Can Take Now to Get More Energy

Go to bed an hour earlier - You might not realize how much sleep debt you've accumulated. Start paying it off by allowing you an extra hour in bed everyday. And no guilt please! You're doing this for your health. If necessary, get a night mask that blocks light in order to fall asleep more easily.

Start a fitness program - Being unfit decreases your motivation and your ability to perform everyday tasks with ease. In addition to that, you can't be healthy if you're not fit. The best way to start a fitness program is to start now. Find something you can do and do it every day. Please stay in tune for more articles on the topic in future issues of Pure Health & Nutrition.

Discard the use of stimulants - What stimulants do you use to fake energy? Choose the best for yourself and get in touch with the real source of energy, not the illusion of stimulation.

Lower the fat content of your diet and eat more fruit - By lowering the fat content of your diet and increasing your fruit consumption you will have more energy available. To learn how to do that, please refer to my book “The Raw Secrets.” (http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/cmd.php?af=824838)

Identify one energy drainer and get rid of it - The energy drainers are almost too numerous to tackle all at once. Instead, identify one energy drainer, such as perhaps a negative relationship, and take the necessary step to get rid of it. You will feel much better for it.

A final quote to inspire you: "Love the moment, and the energy of that moment will spread beyond all boundaries." -- Corita Kent, American Muralist and Printmaker (1874 - 1963)

I started here and lost 20 kilogram in one year

2009-06-06T11:05:00.001-07:00

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to forever shed countless pounds, stay healthy, and add many years to your life!

A lady doctor from Arizona has blown the lid off the best-kept secret in weight loss ever discovered -- and this has the whole diet food and drug industries turned upside down and in nothing less than a torrential uproar.

Her name is Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, and she's marching to the beat of a different drum.

And no, nothing about her "secret" is difficult -- nor does it require that you do something completely out of the ordinary or anything unnatural.

Instead, the Arizonian boasts proudly "...this is something that I caught onto just before 2002 when there was so much research and exploration going around concerning the human colon and digestive system working in harmony with nutritional absorption, and I started doing independent studies just to test things at first ... but which I later expanded on after seeing some fantastic results."

This same woman medical practitioner went on to accurately determine a definitive correlation between harmful plague and parasitic infestations of the human bowel tract, and people suffering chronic obesity -- and who despite intense diet and exercise appeared to be unable to lose any weight whatsoever.

Over the course of six years the Arizona doctor developed a number of natural treatments for the removal of these same harmful, even life-threatening plaques and rapidly reproducing digestive parasites -- and when applied to even worse-case patients suffering extreme obesity (98% of which were in immediate danger of dying) she saw a 100% effectiveness and success rate.

She then borrowed from her research on the severely obese, and applied the same strategies on milder cases of overweight persons -- only to find the same effectiveness and quality results as described above (although the individual weight loss per subject wasn't nearly as much as those obese patients 100 lbs to 200 lbs or more overweight).

So powerful is her secret that she's able to reverse diabetes, rid illness altogether in people suffering from cancer (linked directly to poor diet and overweight factors), as well as an elimination of an entire spectrum of serious and otherwise life-threatening diseases.

Nearly 100% of all her case subjects were told in the alternative by "conventional doctors" that they either had just months or years to live, or they would never live a life anything resembling remotely a "normal" existence -- yet after applying Dr Suzanne's treatments saw a complete contradiction to others doctors' prognoses.

Again, nothing about her secret is unnatural or requires someone to do any major action or modification in their lives.

In fact, her entire treatment is based completely on built-into-nature 'protection agents' scattered throughout the world in the form of select herbs, extracts, and organic constituents, and which can be found in a variety of plants -- but when combined in specific combinations and carefully chosen amounts make for a solution to what is perhaps the world's worst ever plague: OBESITY (and the illnesses and diseases resulting from it -- or at least severely aggravated or exacerbated by it).

Now to everyone else's great gain, whether suffering from just a few extra pounds and inches, to those extremely fat and overweight, this brave, bold lady doctor is releasing to the general public her secret for forever destroying the tight unrelenting closed-fist of obesity's stronghold over the now more than 40% of Americans labeled obese, and others worldwide.

But she's not promising any of us for how long.

Some experts and sociologists suggest that in the bigger scheme of things, the world will never tolerate a discovery of such magnitude, any more than it would be realistic to expect a car that runs on water (even if very real) to ever become commercially available to the general public for day-to-day use.

One well-respected and famous diet & wellness author wrote years ago that if anyone ever "truly unlocked the keys to permanent fat loss, they may actually suffer the same fate as JFK."

It is currently available at:

...so you may want to head on over there now and get it and before someone or "something" gets it forever yanked out of ever getting in YOUR hand at least.

It's in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.

While you're there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in rapid, massive weight loss and extremely improved and enhanced health, now made freely available to the rest of us?

Migraine

2009-05-19T08:55:00.000-07:00

Migraine.

What is it? Most people who hear about fear the thought of getting it.

Those who have it have really a difficult time to cope with the attacks.

In the Oxford Dictionary it is described as “Recurrent paroxysmal headache, often with nausea and disturbance of vision.”

So, if you have these symptoms, you have migraine.

In the Langenscheidt Universal Dictionary it is described as “sick-headache”. Short and sweet.

Migraine can have various causes. Stress is the one cause mostly tipped on and spoken about and where one becomes the most advice. Slow down, have a massage, a wellness-weekend, do not work so hard, go to bed early. And this is all true, actually should be, I would even say, a part of our daily lives with or without migraine.

I am no doctor, no nurse and am just using books that have come into my hands. It seems very logical to me.

The actual cause of Migraine are poison substance in our bodies. Or if you like, Toxins. Again, the Oxford Dictionary: “..poison secreted by micro-organism and causing particular disease.”

Sicknesses should be healed by the body itself. If not, something is wrong. Poisons are disturbing the healing process.

We so easily forget that we may be poisoning ourselves. Actually we are.

That is no joke.

We just do not think about it enough.

Some things are clear to us, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, yes, we would agree, even medication.

The problem lies in the fact that we do not think enough about what we are doing to our bodies.

I have just had a tooth implanted. On asking my dentist why it came this far as my teeth are in a good condition and why no x-rays were made as prevention, he answered that we are all aware that too many x-rays cause problems. So true, and we therefore are careful. The funny thing is that since I had the first visit as regard the implantation (December) until May I have had three x-rays. More concentrated due, of course, to the shorter period of time.

We are all aware that these methods cause cancer.

Strangely enough, though, no one really gives advice as to what to do AFTER or DURING such treatment. Just leave the damage to grow into some illness?

Reminds me a little of pregnancies, or births. We know that the mother gives all the nutrition the baby needs….but little schooling is given as to how to compensate for the loss.

O.K. My “babies” are all big now, so due to progress this may be done today. So, I do not want to be negative, I just want to come back to the thought….

we must think for ourselves. It is really important.

To help thoughts on the way let us take again the problem of Migraine.

In the book “Fit for Life” the Diamonds mention that consuming milk products also causes Migraine.

Wandmaker in his book “Forget the Cooking Pot” brings Migraine under the hat of Allergy, often caused to a reaction to certain foods.

Actually, where they are mostly all going is to get us to think. Think about what we are eating, think about the health problems we have and start to do something about it and not wait until we need a doctor.

At the time I became high blood pressure, I thought there must be a way to conquer this.

I am on medication. The first thing that happened was that I added 12 kilograms to my weight. A side effect of one of the tablets I took. This gave me the desire to get an answer to the problem.

Sport? For sure.

Change your diet? For sure.

Somewhere in my body there are toxins. This I did not know, and if I did, how do I get rid of them.

Illnesses are caused due to the toxins in our body. We are poisoned. If through dairy products, cooking our food, alcohol, smoking, the world around us, we are poisoned.

Wandmaker suggests eating raw.

Another suggests just eating certain things.

The answer lies in what we nourish ourselves with.

This could take on a long, long discussion, I know.

Let me share what I experienced.

Sport and changing my diet (leaving off sweet-stuff, too much bread, less meat, taking supplements, etc.) did not bring the answer I wanted.

This was it: There is only one reason for your health problem: poisoning your body.

There is only one way to heal your body, get rid of the poisons.

So, if you have migraine, before you start taking too much medication (which is again, poisoning), get rid of the poisons you have at the moment.

If your body was in order, even if you are under stress, either you are not supporting it rightly with its nutritional needs (sometimes in stress we either eat too much or too little) or, you are not nourishing your body. Yes, you may be eating, but nothing really nourishing.

Get down to it and start finding out what one should be eating.

If I had known what I know today, I would never have allowed certain things on the table.

Fortunately we are a family that loves salads and fruit….but it is also mixed with the “tasty” things offered everyday.

Thought about bread?

Thought about cooked potatoes or rice?

Thought about dairy products?

Thought about, well, I think fast foods are already questioned.

Thought about coffee, black tea, even green tea

Thought about your visit to the restaurant?

Something in the chain of your nutrition is not in the right place.

These are just a few thoughts. Get down to it. There is so much information on the internet.

If we do not do something about it, we are to blame. Do not fall into the trap of just handling the symptoms, get down to the core, the root, to the actual cause and change it!

By the way, after cleansing, I have lost 16 kilograms. Without changing my sport activities, I just thought to try it. I was open to try anything. It worked, so now I follow an almost raw vegetable and fruit menu.

I’m learning, you can too. No matter your age, your diet, thick or thin, young or old, nourish yourself rightly and get rid of your Migraine, your headaches, your overweight…..

Digestion Problems? This will help.

Digestion, and easier way to have better digestion.

2009-05-12T12:02:00.000-07:00

It is often heard after a meal: "Oh, my stomach, feels like a balloon!" Or, "I have indigestion" or the gasses follow!!

Whatever, we take it often as a result of having had a really good meal and the privilege of eating foods that were real tasty and one just could not resist them.

But, is it that really? Or is there another reason?

I suffered often from indigestion. Especially during pregnancies. My answer to this was, to take Natron. I do not think that was such a good solution, but I needed relief so as to have a good nights sleep and be fit for the next day.
Some of the hours I would spend walking around the flat trying to get relief, sleeping on a chair, or using a couple more cushions.

I would do anything to get the relief, but never thought it could be cured by just changing my way of eating.

Coming across this report from Frederic Patenaude, I felt to share it, as I am sure many of the problems would be solved if this advice would be followed. So, to Frederic Patenaude:

“An Easier Way to Have Better Digestion”
by Frederic Patenaude
You might disagree, but hear me out on this. I think one of the best ways to improve your digestion is to follow some very simple food combining rules.

One question I get a lot is, “When you eat raw foods, do you have to avoid certain combinations?”

The answer is yes.

But then, it doesn't have to be complicated.

I will show you some very simple ways you can use food combining to your advantage, and I will also list some food combinations that are perfectly fine, although many people still shun them.

Sugar and Fat

The main combination to avoid is sugar and fat.

Sugar being any type of sugar such as fruits, dates, refined sugar, or anything sweet.

Fat includes oils, avocados, nuts, and any other type of fatty foods.

The reason is that fat takes a longer time to digest, while sugar tends to digest quickly.

When the two are mixed together in sufficient quantities, the sugar will ferment.

Say hello to gas and bloating!

So the combinations to avoid include: dates and nuts, nuts and dried fruits, adding fat to fruit smoothies (including oils, nuts, etc.), and obviously eating fruit or sweets at the end of a meal.

However, let me also say that although this is the most important rule to follow, it is not completely rigid either. A little occasional combo of fruit and fat are okay, but generally, you'll find that avoiding this combination most of the time will solve a lot of your digestive problems.

Sugar and Starch

Another very bad combo is the combination of cooked starch and sugar,

so this one obviously doesn't apply to a raw food meal.

Starch includes bread, potatoes, pasta, etc. This combinations leads to a lot of gas and fermentation. Examples include: raisin bread, all pastries, all cakes, all cookies, and eating sweets after a meal!

Concentrated Foods

You can understand the philosophy and science of food combining by understanding one simple idea: it's best to eat only one type of concentrated food at a meal.

Concentrated foods include anything that's not a fresh fruit or vegetables, or anything that's high in fat. For example, bread, meat, potatoes, nuts, seeds, avocados.

The reason is that concentrated foods take more time to digest, and when they are mixed together, they tend to conflict with each other and cause digestive problems.

So the idea is in one meal to have just one type of concentrated food, and accompany that with lots of vegetables. It's also best to eat fruits alone.

Unnecessary Rules

There are several “rules” of food combining that are really not necessary.

Once you become more fluent in the “language” of food combining, you'll understand why.

Let me give you a few:

Melons - There's no reason not to mix melons with other fruits. You can mix melons with any other fruit you want, without any problems. Just don't mix them with concentrated foods.

Fruits - Fruits may be combined with each other without problems. There's no need to divide them in categories of their own. The only exception is the banana, which should not be mixed with very acid fruits such as oranges. The reason is that bananas contain starch and this conflicts with the acidity in certain fruits.

Tomatoes - Although we eat tomatoes as a vegetable, it is a fruit in reality so it may be combined with other fruits if desired.

Greens Don't Count - Greens such as lettuce, celery, spinach, and other green leaves, don't even count in food combining. The reason is that they combine well with anything. They combine well with fruit as well as with any other food.

Simplify Combos

So those were a few tips to help you improve your diet and get you started with some food combining concepts.

The whole idea about food combining is to simplify meals.

It means that a meal with 5 ingredients will digest more easily than a meal with 10. And a meal with 2 ingredients will be easier to digest than a meal with 5. It's more important to vary our diet from meal to meal, rather than get all that variety in one meal!

As you learn more about food combining and a simple and easy raw food diet, you'll find that it's really the best way to stay healthy with a “silent” digestion, and best of all, it's also so enjoyable to eat that way!"

I trust that these thoughts will go with you when you prepare your next meal or menu.

We hear so little these days on what we should eat, and are left to our own thoughts on how to care for and nourish our bodies. For more energy, a healthier way of life and enjoyment at your meals, take this to heart (or to stomach!).

Are you Poisoning Yourself?

2009-03-05T15:30:00.000-08:00

It all depends on what you are eating. So, let's talk about this very shortly, taking only one product as a thought. I read about this recently and it made me think. The reason being, I love green tomato jam. We ate it much at home. It was not only sold at the market-places, but even found in some shops.

Coming to Germany, I never found it anywhere. Then one day a neighbour of mine kindly brought some green tomatoes from her garden. The suggestion was to wait for them to ripen, but because there were so many and because I love green tomato jam, I of course did what was necessary, and soon some lovely jars of jam were in my kitchen cupboard.

Now the terrible thing is, green tomatoes contain poison. This is very strange because I am still alive and enjoying life. The problem lies not in dying suddenly, like having a poisonous snake-bite, but this poison has the power to cause

scratching of the throat

headaches,

vomiting,

stomache aches and

diarrhoea!

The name of this poison contained in green tomatoes is called SOLANINE! And, just to add to things, this poison is also contained in unripe potatoes. Note also that it is also found in the green areas of the potato.

So, this is the advice given in the article I read, from the "Verbraucherzentrale" here in Germany:

Green tomatoes, neither sweet-sour pickle or make jam of them.
The germ of the potato as well as the green areas must be removed thoroughly.

Fact is that even through cooking the poison is not destroyed.

It is important to care for your health. The foods we eat are often the causes of aches and pains and later diseases.

So, remember, nothing like a real, red, sunriped tomato in your salad or on your plate. Filled with vitamins and minerals. Smack!!

WHAT ARE YOU EATING?

2009-03-02T08:25:00.000-08:00

That is a good question. I have had to answer this for myself. What am I eating?

As a child we did not have a great financial cushion as my mother had to bring up 4 children alone due to my father's early death. Yet, we never went hungry.

The meal we enjoyed the most was our Sunday meal where we gathered together around a good roast with the necessary vegetables.

One thing I just loved was fetching my mother from work and going to the bakery for bread.

The smell of fresh bread was so inviting. At the end of the month we had the great joy of being able to buy a special roll with icing-sugar on it. This was sooo delicious!

I do admit that I did not take much thought as to what I should eat, and what not.

Coming home from school and being alone was no problem for me to eat a toast with fried out fat on it.

And so I just journeyed on through my life enjoying whatever was put before me, whether at home, with friends, at a restaurant, or whereever.

Later, being married and having moved to a new country, it was necessary for me to learn from the friends I had made and who were willing to help me get a good menu on the table.

Then the health problems started to come.....but, I thought, they just belong to life.

Tiredness,

Overweight,

High Blood Pressure

Landing up with high blood pressure and through the medication, I added 12 kilograms in a very short time.

How can I loose these kilograms again? High blood pressure and overweight just do not belong together! Agreed?

Surfing in Traffic Swarm I came across the website of Dr. Susanne Gudakunst

http://6nini4.fatsecret.hop.clickbank.net

I really became a shock. Her website is a great eye-opener and from there I moved on to search further until I realised I was not nourishing my body correctly and therefore the deterioration.

I learnt how very important fruit was, and did not know until that time, for instance, that sour and sweet fruits should be separated.

As for the strange "things" that were probably creeping around in my body....help!

My husband was away, and this gave me the opportunity to try this all out. But where to start?

Through Dr. Gudakunst (step 1) I was introduced to Roger Haeske (step 2). He has a great Fitness Program: http://6nini4.superbeing.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=F9wwRRmvP where I also learnt the value of eating raw.

My kilograms "ran off" after I was introduced to Frederic Patenaude and went through the Autumn Detox with him. This gave my health a real jump (step 3).

http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/cmd.php?af=824838

Now I could really ask myself "What are you eating?" and felt satisfied that I was given myself the nutrition I needed to remain healthy.
Never thought it would change my tastes so much. Not only that but the difference between eating raw and eating cooked became so real to me. A great difference in taste. I am no super raw-eater, but am in the learning process and it is really satisfying.

I wish, not only for myself, but also for my family, that I had asked myself this question much earlier: "What are you eating, Nanette?"

May I, before I close, ask you the same question, but differently: "Have you made any thoughts as to what you are eating, daily?"

Illness comes, not through what goes on outwardly, but what goes on inwardly.

Yours for health,

Nanette Althof

Fashion Show

2009-02-02T10:01:00.000-08:00

I think this is one of the highlights of last week for me. You may not believe it, but it was the first time I had ever been to a Fashion Show. I take it that many have followed this over the Medien having been interested in this direction, or just wanting to know what is happening all over the world.

Well, it was in Berlin. I had the privilege of going with my daughter who had been working in this area the last couple of days. We had a great time in the "Sponsors' Lounge" where there were some really great black and white photos on display.

The actual show we watched on this particular day was not so exciting, but for me, being the first time very interesting to see how everything was built up: the music, the lighting, the models. Cameras were clicking everywhere and of course some VIP's were also present.

OK, I am sure many of you know how this all goes.

Due to the fact that, although the Titbits we received to enjoy during the stay in the Lounge, would do nothing to our figures, I was amazed to see how thin many of the models were.
Seeing them in Magazines, or in the Newspapers, or even on TV is not so real as when they walk right past your eyes. And, the amazing thing is that they do become the hopes and dreams of other young folk to follow in there steps and one day also be on the CatWalk...but how do they keep up these model-figures?

I think the question can be answered without much trouble, but often it is not the best way to get there. A Fashion Show model is not everything in life, but can be a wish-career for some.

Trying to have a great figure is one thing, but it is very important to get it in such a way that one remains healthy. I cannot judge the health of these young models, but one does hear stories.

However, the reality is, our bodies are there to look after. It is necessary to keep being healthy and being fit. We owe it to ourselves, the most important person in our lives.

Without saying too much I think it is an open secret that many try it by just keeping off certain foods, or staying hungry for most of the day, or going on diets, or jogging everyday to work off the calories.

Not everything is wrong..but be sensible. Take care. One life, one body. No going down to the Garage and changing the battery!! Just doesn't work.

I changed my life-style way of eating. I never really overdid it, but there were certain things I just did not watch, did not take enough time to read about, or even think about. Which most of us, I think, do the same.

Did you know that just cooking food changes many nutritional values?

Did you know that certain foods cause toxins?

Did you know that one should detox now and again? Or more often?

Did you know that one could be bound to certain foods? Always wanting to eat, for instance, chocolate?

So, enough now...

Hop over and get more information for yourself. You will be doing a world of good.

Start by taking a look at how valuable it is just to be getting exercise to deal with many of the "tires" around the stomach. You will be doing yourself one of the biggest favours you have ever done. And get a real good body shape. Or maybe just need some good exercise to do daily in a short period of time to keep fit.

I did it, and over a half a year with just a small change in my eating life-style plus the right amount of exercise became at least 10 kilograms lighter. (Still working on the shape!!)

Last Friday I went shopping, it was a great feeling again after quite some years of battling through supplements, protein shakes, water-loss teas and I don't know what.

So here you are this will be a help to get on the right path without being destructive to yourself, and then move on until the goal has been reached.

http://6nini4.superbeing.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=F9wwRRmvP

Perhaps the next Fashion Show will suprise your family and friends. To your success.

Just 15 Minutes to be Fit

2009-01-27T11:51:00.000-08:00

It is hard at times to understand folk who like to train for any certain sport. The hours they put in, running in park circles, sweating till the drops reach the ground, stretching till their muscles hurt, amazing!

Here where I live an elderly gentleman used to run every day, summer and winter, with shorts on. He used to lift his legs real high and moved his arms back and forth that he received the nickname from us “Der Lokomotive” – The Engine. One day he was gone and we never saw him again, but the memory of him is still there even after many years.

Now there is a young lady who, I think, trains for the yearly Marathon. Daily! When she gets to our house level it is usually the time she takes a break and just walks at a medium pace.

No, I do not just sit at the window all day watching Berlin doing their sport. My kitchen window looks right over the park, so such happenings become part of the daily routine.
And, I am often in the park with the kiddies I care for.

Why do I write this?

Well, I have been ill lately and missed my gymnastics and especially riding my bicycle. This week I started again and it is such a great feeling. The muscles appear again, one breathes differently and afterwards it is a kind of nice tired feeling, also a feeling of accomplishment. So I do understand folk who like to train for their particular sport.

And, exactly the same feeling I am getting with network-marketing. Having had to lay off for a while, something was missing. The muscles were getting weaker as the emails were piling up. I thought of how far I have come behind, what have I lost out on? Will I be able to catch up again, can I get all the threads together. Just like a sportler, even if the only part of me that then does sport are my eyes and fingers!!

Just the eyes and fingers! Oh, that’s really far too little. Now, let’s get to the point. WE ALL NEED SOME KIND OF SPORT TO KEEP US FIT, ESPECIALLY WHEN ALL WE EXERCISE DAILY ARE OUR EYES AND FINGERS.

You can do something for yourself, get your body working and I really would advise you to because it is necessary for your health, and I am concerned about that!

Your answer to HEALTHY LIVING

2009-01-21T03:41:00.000-08:00

A new breakthrough secret is all you now need in order to forever shed countless pounds, stay healthy, and add many years to your life!

A lady doctor from Arizona has blown the lid off the best-kept secret in weight loss ever discovered -- and this has the whole diet food and drug industries turned upside down and in nothing less than a torrential uproar.

Her name is Dr Suzanne Gudakunst, and she's marching to the beat of a different drum.
And no, nothing about her "secret" is difficult -- nor does it require that you do something completely out of the ordinary or anything unnatural.

Instead, the Arizonian boasts proudly "...this is something that I caught onto just before 2002 when there was so much research and exploration going around concerning the human colon and digestive system working in harmony with nutritional absorption, and I started doing independent studies just to test things at first ... but which I later expanded on after seeing some fantastic results."

This same woman medical practitioner went on to accurately determine a definitive correlation between harmful plague and parasitic infestations of the human bowel tract, and people suffering chronic obesity -- and who despite intense diet and exercise appeared to be unable to lose any weight whatsoever.

Over the course of six years the Arizona doctor developed a number of natural treatments for the removal of these same harmful, even life-threatening plaques and rapidly reproducing digestive parasites -- and when applied to even worse-case patients suffering extreme obesity (98% of which were in immediate danger of dying) she saw a 100% effectiveness and success rate.

She then borrowed from her research on the severely obese, and applied the same strategies on milder cases of overweight persons -- only to find the same effectiveness and quality results as described above (although the individual weight loss per subject wasn't nearly as much as those obese patients 100 lbs to 200 lbs or more overweight).

So powerful is her secret that she's able to reverse diabetes, rid illness altogether in people suffering from cancer (linked directly to poor diet and overweight factors), as well as an elimination of an entire spectrum of serious and otherwise life-threatening diseases.

Nearly 100% of all her case subjects were told in the alternative by "conventional doctors" that they either had just months or years to live, or they would never live a life anything resembling remotely a "normal" existence -- yet after applying Dr Suzanne's treatments saw a complete contradiction to others doctors' prognoses.

Again, nothing about her secret is unnatural or requires someone to do any major action or modification in their lives.
In fact, her entire treatment is based completely on built-into-nature 'protection agents' scattered throughout the world in the form of select herbs, extracts, and organic constituents, and which can be found in a variety of plants -- but when combined in specific combinations and carefully chosen amounts make for a solution to what is perhaps the world's worst ever plague: OBESITY (and the illnesses and diseases resulting from it -- or at least severely aggravated or exacerbated by it).

Now to everyone else's great gain, whether suffering from just a few extra pounds and inches, to those extremely fat and overweight, this brave, bold lady doctor is releasing to the general public her secret for forever destroying the tight unrelenting closed-fist of obesity's stronghold over the now more than 40% of Americans labeled obese, and others worldwide.

But she's not promising any of us for how long.

Some experts and sociologists suggest that in the bigger scheme of things, the world will never tolerate a discovery of such magnitude, any more than it would be realistic to expect a car that runs on water (even if very real) to ever become commercially available to the general public for day-to-day use.

One well-respected and famous diet & wellness author wrote years ago that if anyone ever "truly unlocked the keys to permanent fat loss, they may actually suffer the same fate as JFK."

It is currently available at:

...so you may want to head on over there now and get it and before someone or "something" gets it forever yanked out of ever getting in YOUR hand at least.

It's in a very easily readable format and is quickly and readily understood and mastered by anyone with even a 4th grade reading level.
While you're there, why not scroll down and review for yourself the huge successes others are now having with this incredible breakthrough in rapid, massive weight loss and extremely improved and enhanced health, now made freely available to the rest of us?

Some Tidbits to chew on!

2009-01-16T14:29:00.001-08:00

Just browsing through a weekly newspaper brings some things to mind that one actually forgets.
Here are a few Tidbits to chew on.
If you do not have enough sleep....which I personally also do not, then according to Scientists of the Duke University that folk who do not have enough sleep, have phases where they can react quick and adequately, which means they sometimes move in a falsch security. Inbetween though they have slower reactions and a lack of processing visual information. This is not only for folk who do not have enough sleep....but also for those who work late at night.
Oh, oh......that's also me! It is going on for midnight.

The usual thing then is, of course, to start the day with coffee. The magic way of waking up.
Which I do not do! One for me.
But coffee is a problem. It pulls out quite some necessary minerals and the headline over the report from the Team at the University Clinic in Aachen is "Coffee breaks the liver", through a biological messenger 'Cyclo-AMP'. It puts a stop to its actual function.
On the otherhand I have read that coffee is good for the Alzheimer disease.
Must think more about this one. However, be careful.
One of the things I noticed when I worked in an architects office (not as architect though), is that those who drank a real good amount of strong coffee also smoked very heavily. A sort of help me up, I'm down again therapy.

When in the winter time depression sets in then Red Beets, Nuts and Brussel Sprouts will give a lift up because of the mineral substances, which again support the concentration and activity performance. Taken from the information centre in Leipzig.

Something which causes a depressing atmosphere in the winter months is the lack of good, bright, sunny days. The best way to work on this is to go out for an hour and take a real good walk.

With this one I also had problems...that certain medicines (for example for blood pressure) cause an increase in weight. I put on 12 kilograms. Ouch! You can imagine what this is for a woman who then cannot find anything to wear..let alone looking in the mirror or standing on the scale!
My great relief came as I surfed in internet and looked for everything I could concerning blood pressure and came across the help I needed and ?? Yup! I lost it all again.
The great turn came when I went to Frederic Patenaude website just at the time he offered a autumn detox. This changed my eating habits and my figure.

Here you will find many tips on how to really nourish yourself, as well as many other Tidbits to get you on the right nourishment path, and not just "filling up your belly" mode.

Even if not the whole system is followed, there are many Tidbits to take with and put into practice.
Not only that, but things which have fallen into the unconscious part of the brain, or which have gone in one ear and out of the other because of the rush of business life suddenly are again a reality and it is real good to rethink before it is too late.
How good am I nourishing my body?

By the way, much better than any diet offered!
Hope you have enjoyed the few Tidbits.

The Subject of Eating

2009-01-03T09:45:00.000-08:00

It must be January! Now is the time when, after having had several weeks of eating great holiday meals and inbetween meals, and inbetween the inbetween meals, people start looking for solutions which will help return to the "ideal weight" position once again.

For me, this problem was solved over the holiday period in that I lost 4 kilograms! A dream over the festival season. No, I didn't have a secret formula, I was just SICK!

I have been interested in health and exercise for quite some years now. I must admit, what I know today I would have been grateful had I known it many years ago, especially during the time of raising a family. Actually, we did well. Still, I have learnt so much to it all and, of course, especially since the time I have made surfing part of my life!

One thing has interested me over the past year and will move with me into this new year...... how do we really nourish our bodies? What are my eating habits like?

Men love their cars. They will find the best oil, if possible, even the best air to put in their tires.
My brother always put us through a nightmare when we didn't close the doors, "just softly, don't bang them"!!

When one becomes interested in sport, many things do change. A new diet plan, more interest in fruits, how many calories, what for vitamins and so on.

But normal, daily eating.....how should it really be? Ever had a real nutrition check-up? Are you caring what you are putting into your body?

Junk food? Maybe now and again. Bottled food? When I am in a hurry or guests pop in unexpected!

I have now become interested to know what Scripture says about this whole theme. Food is actually there to bless us, to keep up healthy, to give energy and keep away disease.

As far as Scripture is concerned food can bless us but it can also be misused.
Now to know that we do not need a scriptural basis, even if God is the giver of all good things.
But look at the world today...there are countries of excess and countries of starvation. But it is said there is enough food to feed everyone. OK, that will go into economics and politics......
But there is the overweight problem, more and more under children! Are we misusing something which should help us, and by misusing we are becoming more ill?

Getting back to Scripture: "Have you found honey? Eat only as much as you need" Proverbs 25:16

If you eat too much you will vomit! But that we also know, or even experienced ourselves, maybe not with honey, but with chocolate, or a heavy meal?

Now I qoute what I read from Julie Ackerman Link "When we think of food as a friend that comforts us or an enemy that makes us fat, we miss the wonder of receiving with gratitude a splendid gift from God. Obsessive eating or not eating indicates that we are focused on the gift rather than on the Giver...."
Too spiritual? Maybe for some, but true. Food can be misused.

Everything in measure! That is anyway a deal in life...watch the boundries.
In the matter of food, you will then not need many books on dieting.

For some time I have been taking Supplements. I get real energy from them, but it worried me that I needed to take Supplements until it got into my brain cells that supplements do not take the place of nutrition in our eating plan, but should only be used when there is a lack and this lack needs to be supplemented. To know this one needs a good check-up and doctors' advice.

Still, I was eating carefully....meat, salad, fruit, and so on. Then the reality came as I read one of my cook-books: "Food should be eaten as raw as possible for the full nutrition...". In a recipe book for real good tasty meals...cooked of course.

So, off to explore and found out that many illnesses are caused due to the fact that we cook everything! Help!! What now?

I took on the challenge, and when my husband was on holiday, I just cooked things like fish, or chicken....but ate all veges. and fruits just as they were.

Since then I have ventured further and have found new taste-buds, things change when cooked, and the side-effect was that I lost 12 kilograms which I had put on during medication. Wow!

Now I am coming closer to how to nourish myself.
This lady gave me the real jump (sorry, a slipping in ad.) http://6nini4.fatsecret.hop.clickbank.net

I was looking for all ways possible to get rid of the added kilograms and when I saw this, I thought, "man oh man, do I look like that inside?"
One thing to another and I was soon on the raw-foodist Frederic: http://www.fredericpatenaude.com/cmd.php?af=824838
He's not fanatical and keeps a good balance. I got the cleanse I needed and a new era has been born. Strange how life is.
Eat right, exercise right, and you will enjoy your work, your life, your sleep, your moods...all to your benefit.
That's my experience, and I have tried it out...may you find also a way to keep fit and nourished for yourself and your family.
All the best for 2009 as you learn to EAT RIGHTLY!

Do You care Enough About your Health

2008-12-18T11:34:00.000-08:00

About two weeks ago I had a tooth pulled. Ouch!

A week ago I had an op. to put in a brand new tooth.

Unfortunately this did not succeed because the supporting bone was too weak.

Double Ouch!

Now I am battling to get rid of all the medicine that has entered my little old body over this time. The funny thing was my stomach responded AFTER having finished taking the medicine.

For the first time in years I have had to stay at home! Medicine has made me feel sick!

Three weeks ago my hubby's heart stopped while the doctor was testing it. Ouch!
Two weeks in hospital...and now waiting to see what can be done.

And all this before Christmas!

Do you care enough about your health?

What has gone through my head more than ever before is the fact that I do not know enough about health. Yeah, sure, I have read quite some stuff through the MLM business I was in.
I also tested quite some things and enjoyed the results of having more energy etc.
Research goes on and our thoughts of something today will be different tomorrow.

As I have written in a previous Blog, I did an Autumn Cleanse. It worked wonders. I have come down 12 kg.

So, this is why I want to use this Blog as a place to talk about health.

The other day we sat at lunch and had a discussion. What do we really think about our health.

Who is deceiving us?
The doctors?
The politicians?

Or should we think in this direction at all? We have been just "doing" because we were taught that way. Eat this, cook this, buy this.

My thought was, you can tell a person a hundred times that something is not good for him, but if he thinks it is, or is disinterested....so what! It tastes good.

Now I am not talking about WHAT you should eat, or HOW you should eat, I am talking about the way we go about the matter.

Did you know that coffee is not good for you? I do. But I still drink it! It poisons my body, but I still drink it! Why? Either I just like the taste, or I am already addicted to it.

Addicted? Yup! Coffee is a toxin.

So why do I keep on drinking it. I have just been through a detox to get rid of all these strange cravings, and then start again.

Oh, and by the way, people who smoke a lot usually also drink a lot of coffee.

We are strange people.

So, do me a favour.......start really thinking about what you are eating and drinking.

No, I mean it seriously.

I wish I had thought more about it before. Really.

You know what it reminds me of?

I once belonged to a christian group....years later I left for the reason of manipulation.

Why didn't I realise this at the beginning?

BECAUSE WE DO NOT THINK ENOUGH FOR OURSELVES BUT BELIEVE WHAT OTHERS SAY WITHOUT PROVING IF IT IS TRUE!

Ever watched a baby starting to eat? We often have our jokes about spitting the carrots on the walls or over the table, but ever thought why it happens?

And that's the whole thing. Start thinking about what you are doing and ask yourself if it is really YOU who wants to do this.

Start thinking about what you are eating and drinking and ask yourself if it really is nourishment, is it what your body needs to eat? We have become so used to learning to eat everything as it is put before us that our sense of taste has changed completely.

We are given a brain to think, use it.

We are given eyes to read the labels, do it.

It's Christmas, mmmmm.

No, no! Don't be fanatical, just careful.

As I said before, I wish I had done all this earlier. Having a rather large family many things would probably have been different if I took more thought about health.

Health is one of the best gifts we have. See to it that you care enough.

Healthy Christmas blessings.

Audio Books for your Health

2008-11-22T09:23:00.000-08:00

Having to read a book during my school years was a horror for me. I used to read a few pages and then ask someone to explain what the story was about. Of course, this never helped me in examinations. I was an outdoor person, riding my bike, swimming, playing sport, or just being, outside!
In later years I began to see this through different experiences how interesting books can be. What provoked this were the long cold winter evenings. The best thing to do was to cuddle up in bed with a hot-water bottle and read a book. So it was that biographies became my desired books.
Working later in a Bookshop, my boss showed me how to read a book quickly. We needed to know what was on the shelves and time was always a factor to get through so many. However, I do not use this method to read books today.
Now that we have internet, there is a massive offer of eBooks. I have needed to read quite some due to being a home-business Mom. However, just recently I received a HARDCOVER of one of the eBooks and my heart made a real ‘spring in the air’. It was like earlier times, or when I take one of my biographies….warmly cuddled in bed and just getting lost in the wonder of another world.
Something else I have found very inspiring is Audio Books. My first being the German Book “Zurück aus Afrika” (Back from Africa), the story following “The White Massai”. This is a true story of Corinne Hofmann in Kenya.
Audio Books can be heard while driving, when one is ironing, or just relaxing.
They range from children’s books, to learning a language, business-building, humour, history, health, or just a good book.

Now that Christmas is before the door, it is a great idea as a gift.

Take time to visit here and experience yourself how exciting it is to hear someone reading for you.
