Aging is a Mistake

“Aging is a mistake” said Dr. Deepak Chopra. Actually, aging is worse than a mistake, it is a catastrophe. Aging reduces quality of life and causes so-called “diseases of aging” such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, and arthritis. Making yourself old and sick is not a sensible choice-it is a mis- take. Each disease, even a cold, accelerates aging, makes you sicker, and causes more disease. Then our physicians manage these diseases with treatments that create still more aging and disease. It’s a vicious cycle, and we have to
learn how to break that cycle.

To live a long disease-free life, it is essential to learn how to prevent and reverse aging and disease. Fortunately, this is not difficult to learn. With just a little bit of effort, any of us can become healthier and biologically younger. While we cannot control our chronological age, we do have control over our biological age.

Historically, people such as the Hunzas lived well into their hundreds in robust, vigorous health without suffering as much as a cold, so we know this is possible. For you to accomplish something similar you must learn how to prevent aging and disease, and to do this, you must learn how to prevent and reverse inflammation.

There is only one dis- ease, malfunctioning cells, and a malfunction common to all chronic disease is a process called inflammation. No matter what so-called disease you have, inflammation is a major part of your problem. By learning how to prevent and re- verse inflammation, you are learning how to stay young and never be sick again.

Natural Liver Detox

We all know how vital our liver is to our survival but do you really know what the liver is responsible for? If your answer is that the liver does just about everything, you’re not that far off from the truth.

While modern medical science can mimic the functioning of kidneys through dialysis or replace a human heart valve with a pig’s valve and still have it work, the multitude of complex functions that are guided by the liver cannot be manufactured by any piece of technological advancement.

Feeling Bloated After You Eat

Whether it’s too many carbohydrates or just too much food all together, feeling bloated after you eat is an uncomfortable but common side effect of eating a large meal. Rather than reaching for an antacid which only masks your problem, there is an easy way to solve your tummy woes without the use of any manufactured medication or pills.

The problem with antacids is that the more we use them, the more dependent our bodies become on them. So rather than treating just the symptoms, we’re going to get to the root of your digestive problems rather than just putting a band-aid on them.

As I’ve said before, feeling bloated has to do primarily with what we choose to eat and how our bodies digest food. First and foremost, the next time you feel bloated, think about what you ate. Was it your usual fare or something different? Wine, a decadent dessert, pizza, all of these? Or does it seem like regardless of what you eat whether it’s a steamed sweet potato or a bowl of ice cream, you still feel bloated?

The best way you can help your stomach is to give it what it is really missing. And that missing link is natural digestive enzymes. Natural digestive enzymes determine the course of action your food takes when it hits your stomach. These microscopic but powerful catalysts help your body determine whether the food you ate will be processed smoothly or whether it will just stay in your stomach and colon.
Most of us need a digestive enzyme supplement. Why? The answer has to do with how our food is processed and manufactured today.

Most of the processed foods we consume don’t contain natural digestive enzymes. An apple, for instance, has its own enzymes that will break it down in your stomach without any extra effort from your part. But chug a bottle of soda or munch on a piece of processed cheese and you will find no trace of natural digestive enzymes in these modern day eats.

Your body must therefore take on the burden of using its own enzyme resources in order to digest that slice of cheese or bubbly glass of Coke. Over time this kind of eating takes its toll on our system and on our cash reserves of enzymes. In essence, we start to live on enzyme credit but at some point our reserves run out and whatever we eat starts to scream and holler at us.

If you have experienced bloating more than usual, I suggest taking high quality digestive enzymes for two weeks or more and notice any difference in how you feel after you eat. I have a feeling that after you test-run this little experiment, you might start popping digestive enzymes just as regularly you do your daily multivitamin. Read more on Enzymes

Juicing For Energy

If you’re still wondering what kind of a holiday gift you should get for a loved one or even for yourself, you can stop wondering because I have the perfect gift for you.

For those of you who know me, you are aware that I am an avid juicer. In fact, I’ve been juicing for the past 15 years and I often recommend juicing as an integral component of any fast or cleanse.

For the past six years my juicer of choice has been the Kempo Juicer. When you purchase this juicer you will also receive my 7-Day Sugar Free Diet as and my Juicing for Health ebook as well.

Juicing is the easiest and healthiest ways to get in your fruit and veggies for the day in just one simple glass. Plus with so many different variations, there are endless juices you can make.

If you are a health devotee or if you know of someone who loves to be healthy or needs to become a bit healthier, giving a juicer is a fabulous gift that will help keep you healthy and fit all year round.

Pick up any medical journal or health magazine and you will find scores of articles that herald the important effects of eating a diet rich in fresh fruits and vegetables. From preventing cancer to warding off heart disease and to slowing down the aging process, fruits and vegetables are a necessary part of any healthy lifestyle.

In Mediterranean, Asian and African countries, the diseases that we here in the West are all too familiar with like heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure are virtually absent. What research has showed us is that many of these conditions can be attributed to diet and lifestyle. Countries like Japan and Greece have low rates of these diseases in large part due to their significant daily consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables.

Unleash Your Greatest Potential

Tony Robbins has coached Fortune 500 CEOs to unleash their greatest potential. Here he shows YOU how:

1. Raise Your Standards
“Raising your standards turns your shoulds into musts. Everyone has a list of shoulds: ‘I should spend more time with my kids. I should lose some weight.’ People don’t actually change. They just end up ’shoulding’ all over themselves. Convert ’shoulds’ into ‘musts’ and your entire life changes.”

2. Change Your Limiting Beliefs
“Sometimes your goal is crystal clear but you find yourself failing to act, pulling back or sabotaging yourself. You have inner conflicts based in fear or doubt. Unless you uncover your inner conflicts, they will cause you to fail. When you align your inner beliefs with your goals, you can tap into your fullest potential.”

3. Model Strategies That Work
“Success leaves clues. Model someone who is already achieving what you want.” It could be a great business, relationship or a fit body. Remember, they aren’t lucky; they have strategies that work.

4. Intensify Your Emotions
“It’s inevitable that life will hit us with a crushing blow. If you face it head on, it will give you the muscle of life-psychological strength.” View it as a gift and find a way to use it. (Think Lance Armstrong.)

5. Give Much More Than You Expect to Receive
The meaning of our lives is shaped by what we give, not what we get. Live every day to give something of value to those around you. You will experience a life of meaning and joy.

Interview with Dianne Gregg: It’s Hidden in many foods; The Danger of Soy

Hailed by doctors and nutrition experts as the next super food and a
cure for heart disease, diabetes, and menopause, soy can be found in
everything from veggie burgers to granola bars to baby formula; but soy
is toxic and making America fat, says Dianne Gregg, a woman who almost died from a negative reaction to soy.

After eliminating soy from her diet, Gregg lost 30 pounds – weight
the doctors told her was tied to menopause. Gregg wants to help others
lose the weight and get healthy by avoiding foods with soy.

She can
share the most common foods that contain soy and what audience members
can do to avoid purchasing them and find better-tasting and healthier
substitutes.

Sign up for a free teleclass this Thursday at 7pm right here:

Gregg will reveal…

• Why you should never feed your infant soy formula!
• Why soy can be deadly to anyone with an unknown soy allergy
• That soy is not a cure for heart disease; it is actually linked to
  cancer, infertility, osteoporosis, hair loss, menstrual problems, and
  heart disease.
• That over-consumption of soy can lead to thyroid damage, which can mean big weight gain.
• That soy is used as a cheap filler in food; it is not a health miracle or a wonder food.
