Chakra Cleansing -The Ultimate Workout!

By Jane Wickham

Our physical, spiritual and mental health are closely intertwined. Our chakras are an important part of our being and are essential to our good health and like the rest of us; they are affected by external factors, whether environmental or spiritual. To stay in good health, you need to take care of all of you - chakra cleansing is an important part of caring for yourself. When your chakras are working properly, you?ll have the ideal energy flow through your body and your entire being will benefit.

Body, spirit and mind need to be in harmony with each other and chakra cleansing can keep these elements in balance; like getting regular exercise, it?s just another part of living a healthy lifestyle.

What follows is a list of some of the chakra cleansing techniques which have been shown to be effective and have been used for many centuries.

*Smudging: This is burning herbs and plants to clear away negative energies which can block your chakras. White sage is an especially potent herb for this. Burn some white sage in a room with the doors and windows closed for a few minutes, letting the smoke fill the room.

*Auric brushing: Using crystals and gems can clear blockages from our chakras, but this should be done by an experienced professional, since it can produce deleterious results if done improperly.

*Diet and rest: A nutritionally balanced healthy diet that includes lots of water and fresh vegetable and fruit juices is important. You should also be sure to get enough sleep every night; these steps will keep your chakras in better shape, since your mental, spiritual and physical health are all dependent on each other.

*Your chakras will remain clearer if you get regular exercise and practice breathing techniques.

*Nature: Spending some time in nature can be an effective method of chakra cleansing. Get out into the countryside and observe the plants and animals even if you live in a city, you can do this at a park; the important thing is to make some time to experience the natural world.

*Color therapy: Each chakra is connected to a different color. Visualizing or looking at the colors which correspond to your different chakras can help start the process of chakra cleansing.

*Music: Music is a powerful means of chakra cleansing as well as a way to activate chakras and boost the function of the endocrine system.

*Mental Exercise: By keeping your mind active and endeavoring to learn new things, your chakras will stay more active and free of blockages.

*Meditation and reflection: Set aside a little time in your day to think about the events of the day. You'll gain some valuable perspective on the goings on of your life and keep your chakras in better shape in the bargain.

*Love yourself: Before you can give or accept love, you need to love yourself. Love is a powerful emotion which has a positive effect on your chakras.

*Be in touch with your emotions: When you can't accept or process your emotions you'll be incapable of effectively expressing how you feel to other people; and repressing your emotions will lead to a negative energy buildup which can keep your chakras from sending energy through your being.

*Be creative: Bring your creativity into play in your day to day life. This makes your life a more enjoyable one and keeps your energy flow healthy.

*Past lives: To get the full benefits of chakra cleansing, you have to be open to learning from the lessons of your past lives. You can gain insight into yourself which will facilitate the process of chakra cleansing.

*Be the change you want to see in the world: Live your life in accordance with the principles of honesty, respect and trust.

*Prayer, like meditation can keep your chakras in balance and help you to maintain good health. Prayer quiets our minds and opens them.

All of these are effective methods of chakra cleansing and should be practiced in your daily life. Chakra cleansing may not happen instantly, but with regular practice of these techniques, you?ll be able to maintain proper energy flow and live a happier, healthier life.

Astral Projection - A Simple Explanation

By Benjamin Parry

Astral projection is something that you already have some awareness of. No doubt you've heard the phrase used in conversation, in a movie or TV program or seen it in a book or magazine. What you might not know is that you can astral project; anyone can, in fact. Youve already done so, though you might not remember it.

We need to first look at the definition for astral projection. To state this in very simple terms, astral projection's definition is a human being able to move out of their physical body. All humans have this ability, in fact they actually do it when they are sleeping in the night. When anyone is asleep the physical body and mind are resting and the subconscious part of the brain assumes control. Most humans simply have no recollection of this.

Astral projection allows you to visit any place you like and do anything without limitations imposed by time or space. As a child, you probably were able to do this easily every time you slept. When we age though, its common to forget how to use this ability.

You may be asking at this point what is meant by the astral body? The meaning of the term astral body is the body's invisible duplicate, also called the ethereal body. It is where all of our wishes and feelings are stored in our body. I bet you are wondering how the astral body can leave and then also return to the physical body? There is this silver cord that connects the physical body with the astral body.

The silver cord is attached from the moment that the astral body and the physical body connect. It only detaches at the moment of death when the astral and physical body permanently disconnect from each other. It is this cord that recalls the astral body to the physical body.

Another question that is often asked is where the astral body travels to when a person engages in astral projection. The astral body moves along the astral plane. This is, as the astral body is a duplicate for the physical, a duplicate of the physical world. There are a number of ways that it can be described. In some descriptions, it is described as a set of vibrations, which penetrate physical reality but are at a wavelength that separates it from the physical world. It can also be described as a secondary reality or another dimension. What is agreed upon with the descriptions is that there are multiple levels to the astral plane.

It is perfectly alright at this stage if you are concerned about possible hazards in doing astral projection. The answer to this is both no and yes. We have already mentioned these facts that the astral body always returns to the physical thanks to the silver cord, also that everyone can do astral projection. You just need to make sure you have your mind right to do this though. This means that your basic thinking skills should be strong and sound, this way you will be able to know exactly what you want and even more important where you want to go.

The greatest danger when astral projecting comes with the mind is not carefully prepared or under the influence of thought and perception, altering substances such as drugs or alcohol. There are a number of levels to the astral plane. The lower levels are not considered places to visit and are often considered to be unsafe. It is these levels that are easiest to access when under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

It is vital that you understand where you desire going and exactly what you are participating in. You need to strive on doing astral projection using your conscious mind. Stay in total control as far as what task that the astral body is performing. Your thoughts and thinking processes are what keeps you in this kind of control.

You can learn astral projection with relative ease and in little time if you prepare yourself. You could choose to take lessons with astral projection professionals who can teach you some techniques. Alternately, you could do as most people do and learn on your own.

There are several books on this subject and you can locate other aids to help you online. One type of aid is that of hypnosis recordings that are created for astral projections to get you into the desired state of mind. This helps you get totally relaxed along with taking you through that various levels. This is often the preferred method over a professional approach, because you can replay the recording as much as you need to get your subconscious mind to get the message about when it is alright to begin to astral project and leave your physical body.

Something called binaural beats, a new audio recording technique have made it possible for many people to astral project. Two frequencies which are just slightly different are listened to, one in each year. The result is that your brainwaves tune to the proper frequency for astral projecting.

If you are unable to astral project at first, do not be concerned. It is something that requires practice to be able to do. It is important to remember that this is not actually an acquired skill but something that is already known to each person. They simply need to remember how to astral project and then to practice in order to obtain a level of proficiency.

Do you still not totally believe this is for real? Well have you ever had dreams that you were flying or had the sensation of falling? The flying was your astral body actually traveling through the various astral planes. The sensation of falling is the astral body coming back to the physical body after it traveling around. Astral projection really exists! Take time to tune your natural abilities and you will see that anyone has the abilities to perform this and reap the benefits from it.

Unravel The Mystery Of Chakra Healing

By Anne-Marie Laureaut

What is Chakra

A chakra is an axis point in the human body that receives, connects to and conveys life force energy. Chakra is a Sanskrit word that means a continuously spinning wheel or sphere of mans aural energy. Although traditional Hindu writings assert that there are more than 88,000 chakra points in the entire human body, the most important of these chakras are the seven energy axis from the base of the spinal column to the top of the head.

These seven major chakras are root/base chakra, sex/navel chakra, stomach/solar plexus chakra, heart chakra, throat chakra, brow/third eye chakra, and the crown chakra. These major chakra points in our body take in and transmit energies to and from the general surroundings including the people and elements around us. As such, they directly influence and affect an individuals corporeal, psychological, intellectual/emotional and spiritual/mystical activities.

One interesting aspect of the explanation and characterization of chakras is the uncanny similarity reached by both the Hindus and Chinese that they are an integral part of mans conscious and subconscious experience. Add to this the fact that both civilizations use the same theory for promoting a healthy and successful life of an individual.

The chakra unceasing interaction with our body and the environment even during our sleep gives them a direct influence over our physical structure and appearance including our bodily processes, health and our emotions. A glitch of any one of the major chakras is an indicator that something is wrong with our physical/emotional health which may directly or indirectly be noticeable.

Each of these energy points have a direct influence on a particular endocrine gland in our body which is how imbalance and ill health can be made known to us.

Taking Proper Care of our Chakras From the preceding point of view promoted by the ancient Hindus and Chinese traditional medicine practitioners alike, we can conclude that a good number of our illnesses are in one way or another related to a malfunctioning chakra. Although physical symptoms may be absent or minimal at the very least, they are signs that something is wrong with us physically, spiritually or emotionally.

Forgotten or repressed emotional baggage due to traumatic experiences in the past is one of the major causes of chakra imbalance. Since most people have a habit of burying bad memories in their subconscious, we are unaware that these buried emotional toxins have an effect on our bodies at the cellular level. It is therefore necessary to come to terms with our emotional baggage and resolve them in order to maintain the proper balance of our chakra and heal our physical self in the process.

Advantages of Chakra Healing What most people are not aware of is that we have the resources to control and manipulate our energy points to our advantage. By knowing how to influence and manipulate the functions of our major chakras we can then control how they function so that we can achieve the benefits of balance and harmony, not only within us but with our surroundings as well.

Simple and straightforward practice of color and aroma therapy, controlled breathing exercises and rhythmic exercise routines, Reiki healing and directed meditation with the use of audio even crystals and gemstones are but some of the ways we can do on our own to influence the process of interaction of our bodys energy points.

For example, the practice of Yoga and directed meditation are but two of the commonly used healing methods to align and enhance our energy points in order for us to achieve total relaxation and concentration regardless of where we are. This is very helpful in relieving stress and enhances the bodys natural healing processes.

Despite the fact that we can not physically see or touch our chakras, they can work independently to sustain our body.

The human body has to be healthy and fed properly in order for us to have balanced chakras. There are foods that help maintain the balance of each of the seven primary chakras.

Our root chakra thrives on root-type vegetables and protein-rich foods. Sweet fruits, nuts directly affect our navel chakra while our solar plexus chakra is enhanced by a healthy diet of breads, dairy product and cereals.

Green, leafy vegetables, plenty of liquid, fruit juices and green tea are beneficial for our heart and throat chakras.

Blueberries and grapes are the primary source of nourishment of our energy point for the third eye. It is also helps if we drink wine or grape juice.

The last of the seven major energy points, the crown, does not need nourishment but requires fasting in order to be detoxified.

With these simple methods of influencing our bodys energy points (chakras), we are at the same time also influencing our physical wellness towards a more responsive way of life completely with our body and our environment. They are very simple ways but very effective at the same time in order for us to achieve a goal of physical and emotional wellness.

Weight Loss Can Bring Big Changes To Your Life

By Connor Sullivan

If you struggled with weight throughout your life; you dream of having the body you have always wanted. Losing weight is a big commitment and it takes a lot of work. You need to make serious changes to get serious results. A lifestyle commitment will require exercising and eating right for an entire lifetime. Once you are ready to make a lifetime commitment, you will find your body changing. In time, you will reshape yourself and have the healthy body you have dreamed of. However, your weight loss may lead to other problems. Just because the pounds drop off does not mean the problems you have faced for years will just go away. Furthermore, you may find that losing weight creates a whole new set of problems. If you lose weight fast, you may find your skin's elasticity has gone and you are left with a body you do not love. If this is the case, consider breast augmentation Baltimore or a Baltimore tummy tuck to mold things into the shape you deserve following the weight loss.

Next, remember that your weight loss may affect your family and friends in a way you were not anticipating. If a person has always thought of you one way, they may have a difficult time accepting a body they are unfamiliar with. Be sure to surround yourself with supportive people who are happy for your lifestyle change.

Once your body is a new size, your clothing is no longer going to fit. If you lost a lot of weight, you may need a whole new wardrobe all at once. This can be expensive and it is something you should plan for. Otherwise, your new thin body is going to be covered in baggy old clothing from before the weight loss.

Keep in mind, life is not going to be perfect just because you lose weight. If you have been envisioning the weight chasing away all of life's troubles, you may need to reconsider your future. While you will be healthier and look great, it does not mean that you will have your dream life immediately. Remember that creating the life of your dreams is a process and losing weight is just one part of that process. By committing to lifestyle changes, good things will come to you in time.

But do not forget that losing weight is a great accomplishment! You will improve your health and reduce your risk of serious illness. You will look better and enjoy more energy. Embrace your new body and be patient with yourself when it comes to the changes that accompany a major weight loss.

Conquer Your Incontinence With Confidence Boosters

By Chris Channing

Even if you don't care what others think, it's important that your own self-image be healthy as well. Coping with adult incontinence isn't easy at first, but like any health problem, coping and finding relief is just a matter of learning more and finding solutions.

Incontinence at the gym is a tough problem, since exercise will put you in situations where you may exert force on the bladder and the abdomen. Even a little sneeze can cause incontinence problems, can you imagine what it would be like benching a couple hundred pounds? The best bet here is to avoid drinking and eating before the workout, and using incontinence apparel to catch leaks.

The theater or movie cinema is a classic form of entertainment. The trouble is that everyone has problems keeping their cool during the entire film or play- not just people with incontinence problems! Know where bathrooms are located, and attempt to go before the movie even if you don't feel as if you have to. Worst case scenario, you just have to miss a few minutes of the entertainment to take a bathroom break.

Water sports and incontinence are enemies, mostly because the adult diapers and other products don't always do well in water. And when they do, they are easily spotted by others. You won't have to compromise, however. There are products out today that are thin and discrete. Just remember to pack an extra or two in a knapsack, a backpack, or a container of some sort.

When out for a night of fun, dress in dark clothing. Sometimes accidents come at the worst possible times, and despite having protection, leaks can happen. Dark clothing ensures that any accidents will be covered quite well. Toting around a travel-size deodorant bottle is also good for covering scents. You don't have to be embarrassed when accidents happen- you don't even need to have those around you notice if you are careful.

Much of your confidence won't come from your inner self- but rather from how you share your problem with friends and family. As long as you have understanding friends with you to help you out when accidents happen, you can seemingly conquer the world! You don't have to go through incontinence by yourself. Tell friends and family about the health problem and you'll find they will help out when you need them most.

Final Thoughts

Help groups are there for people that need them. More often than not, you will be just fine with a good set of friends and by surrounding yourself with the right people. Find more help on community groups online, and always invest in the proper incontinence products.

Buy Pheromones

By Jack Woodbinal

Many animals use scent to attract mates. Other species use this technique as well. It occurs when the individual wishing to mate releases a pheromone into the air. Pheromones are chemical signals that change animal behavior without them being aware. They just feel is an attraction to a specific animal and an overpowering desire to have sex.

The best pheromone can enhance good relationships by stimulating arousal and more intimacy, and they can even take sex to a whole new level of degree and frequency. But pheromones cannot transform bad relationships, period. Pheromones cannot change personal preferences and tastes, but they can promote attraction. However, if the personal preferences are not all that strong, pheromones can provide an edge and overcome those preferences.

So, how does it work? When someone gives off a pheromone scent that agrees with us, we are attracted to that person. People have discovered that if you apply these male pheromones to your skin then you can speed up the natural process of attraction and flirtation which could eventually lead to more dates. If you want to increase your chances of attracting the opposite sex, then you can apply male pheromones to your skin which will then give you a higher rate of success when interacting with women.

Pheromones are scents which the body naturally emit that interests the opposite sex. A scientifically produced spray will make you the hit of the party whenever and wherever such events are held. Peruse the website and see for yourself the effectiveness of this product. Save money that would be wasted buying the advertised items that can be purchased at drug stores which will not work. The question: Do Pheromones work will be proven with a no obligation after a visit to this great and informative website.

The drive to make effective contact with the opposite sex is inherent in all humans, and pheromones accentuate this natural tendency. Pheromones will add pizzazz to one's social life. But the best pheromones don't change anything they merely enhance what's already there. Socializing becomes easier. If there is attraction, they can build on it. But people expect so much more than is possible with pheromones. And those high expectations sometimes cause people to give up on pheromones, because they miss the point on what they can really do.

Visit icebreaker4men.com and read about the great potential that can be realized with the use of Icebreaker Pheromone Cologne. There are offers there that will give you some of this product free in addition to your regular purchase. Don't delay. Buy pheromones now and start the life you have been missing out on for years.

Eczema And Effective Ways To Relieve Symptoms

By Becca G Taylor

Eczema is the term given to a broad range of skin conditions which can include dermatitis and inflammation. Some symptoms that may indicate this problem are dryness, rashes that recur, and cracking of the skin. Redness, itchiness, flaking, skin blisters and oozing areas can also be a form of it. Many times, if a skin problem is recurrent or persistent, it is classified as eczema.

With such a large assortment of possible symptoms, an array of treatments for them is available as well. There are many different approaches to control and correct these skin problems, and for some cases it can take time to find a method that is effective. Several approaches may need to be tried before finding one that works effectively.

Corticosteroids are often used to treat skin issues. They can be effective, however they are not a cure, and are meant more as a suppressant. For milder to moderate cases a topical steroid can be used. It is always best to start steroid treatment with the weakest formulation and if that does not work, move up to a stronger dose. Oral and injectable options are also available.

Many eczema sufferers find itchiness a problem. If the itch is not treated with an antihistamine, it can become very irritated and can be severe. Skin that has been repeatedly scratch can become infected as small tears can result from fingernails. This can cause infection, and may require antibiotics in order to clear it up.

Other ways of lessening the symptoms of eczema are non medical, but can really help. Harsh, scented or perfumed soaps can be very irritation to the skin and their use should be avoided. Fat or oil based soaps are milder and cause less dryness and irritation. Always testing new products on a small area of skin before using everywhere can help prevent reactions. Non soap cleansers can also work well for people with skin problems.

Bathing too frequently can have a drying effect on skin, and can cause irritation. Using cooler rather than hotter water also helps the skin retain moisture. Hard water can be harsh, and using soft water can have a more therapeutic effect if used regularly.

The range of skin problems that are diagnosed under the term of eczema are plenty. A doctor or dermatologist can help find an appropriate and effective product to lessen or clear up symptoms. Most often, prescription medications are the most effective, but using common sense when choosing soaps and personal products can have an effect as well.

Healthy Recipes: Tips On How To Include A Nutritious Diet

By Judie Foster


Healthy Breakfast Food Recipes

1. It helps to plan ahead. That's where your dry erase board comes in handy. One may buy boards which have monthly or weekly calendars printed on them. If yours doesn't, that's okay. You could just list the days down the side or draw your own weekly calendar on it with permanent marker so it doesn't wipe off.

When planning your dinners for the week, keep in mind any nights you'll be busy or getting home late and plan the fastest meals for then. Also bear in mind, any perishables you will need to use up that week, and plan your meals to include them. Soups and casseroles are a wonderful way to make use of veggies which are starting to wilt. You could also make sure you have everything available to cook your meals for the week, reducing last minute trips to the grocery store.

2. When cooking healthy recipes, the main focus should be on vegetables. Avoid oils, cream sauces, or using a lot of dairy products or meat. Healthy proteins like beans or tofu can replace meat in a lot of meals. In your favorite recipes, consider healthy substitutions where possible. Some examples are:

Substitute half the oil or shortening in baked goods with sugar free applesauce. Canola and olive oils are generally healthier than other kinds of oil and one should use them as often as possible. Ideally throw away the yellow part of an egg and only use the egg white Flour and whole wheat pasta are good healthy foods Avoid fatty dairy products. Use 2% skim milk only. If a recipe needs lots of cream think about using powdered no-fat milk paste. Use low sodium options when available. Make use of brown rice as opposed to white rice. Think meat as a side dish at best instead of a main dish and ideally try to avoid meat atleast 3 days a week..

3. Choose recipes that can be made with healthy, quick cooking methods. A stir-fry only takes a few minutes to prepare. You can stir-fry vegetables and meats or tofu in a tablespoon of canola oil for just a some time after which you can use them to top rice or whole wheat or buckwheat noodles. Steaming is another healthy method of cooking. There are microwave steamers available that make it possible to enjoy steamed veggies with just a push of the button. Other healthy cooking methods are broiling, grilling, and braising.

Also consider uncooked meals for the quickest preparation. Salads, sandwiches and wraps are nutritious and only take a few minutes.

4. Whilst cooking meat it's best to not store raw meat for long Ideally cook all the meat in a healthy way and store it in meal sized proportions. The same applies for vegetables. Cut vegetables and store in advance and use when needed.

5. Keep track of food you and your family enjoy and jot them in your private cookbook. You could collect recipes in a file and write down experiments that did the trick and have them available when you are feeling insipid. If you are making alternate arrangements, remember to note it on the recipe so you will recollect next time. Once you prepare a recipe in your binder, make a remark of anything you would like to do differently next time and the time it took you to prepare it. This will help you whenever you plan future meals.

Removing Kidney Stones - Totally Safe And Successful Techniques Revealed

By Mark G. Carpenter

Those suffering from the pains of kidney stones have a strong desire to learn how to pass out the stones without complications. You will gain a better understanding of kidney stones after reading the information here. It will hopefully become easier for you to get the relief you need now.

Smaller kidney stones which are generally less than 5mm, will find their way out of the system without stress. They find their way out by flowing with the urine leaving the body, without pains to the individual.

More urine is produced when consumption of water increases. This makes the process of passing out the stones through the urine much easier. It's advisable that you drink lots of clean water.

Some stones are discovered not because of any symptoms noticed, but rather during other routine medical examinations.

The stones get formed due to the crystallization process which takes place within the kidney and the urinary tract. They get formed from the substances within the urine. They look a lot like grains of sand in size most of the times.

At certain times, kidney stones could get as large as 1/10 of an inch or they could even grow bigger. When kidney stones can be found within the urinary tract, it's referred to as Urolithiasis. Nephrolithiasis is the name given to kidney stones.

Sometimes the stones might not even cause any problems while inside the kidneys. The problem sometimes arises when they fall into the Ureter.

Inside the Ureter, they act as a dam and hinder the smooth flow of urine. The urine produced gets blocked and piles up behind the stones. This causes swelling.

When pressure mounts within the Ureter, pain begins until when the stones hopefully move down into the bladder area.

The doctor may recommend a treatment method based on the location or size of the stones. If the stone is high up in the Ureter, near the kidney and its large, Lithotripsy or shock wave therapy (ESWL) may be recommended to break the large stone into smaller fragments.

After being crushed into smaller bits, the stones find it easier to move down into the bladder. The stones break up when the urine surrounding it receives vibration from the waves created by the shock wave machine.

The above mentioned technique of breaking the stones into smaller fragments might not work when the stones are wedged nearer to the bladder. This is due to the fact that there is an absence of enough urine to produce the vibration effect required.

The treatment known as Ureteroscopy could then be performed. This can be the chosen treatment when breaking the stones through Lithotripsy isn't possible.

The Ureteroscope is the special instrument used for this procedure. This unique tool looks a lot like a long cable and it has fitted in it a tiny camera which helps the doctor have a view of the stones.

Natural treatment of this health concern is also becoming more and more popular. The treatment method focuses on breaking down the stones so they can be naturally eliminated from the system.

Infections could also arise if the stones continuously obstruct urine flow for a prolonged period of time. Getting treatment on time is therefore very important.

Patience And Muscle Gain Diet

By Mark Robert

A muscle gain diet plan will not necessarily add fat to your body.

By combining exercise and following a good muscle gain diet, you will increase your muscle index and not your body fat.

There is a lot of difference between the two, but eating muscle building foods will help you build up muscle instead of body fat.

You will probably know that muscle gain diets are primarily composed of muscle building foods but with twice your normal amounts.

As you are eating bigger portions and more often, it can be quite dangerous in terms of developing fat without exercise.

It is mandatory to stick to a muscle gain diet in this instance.

Foods containing many proteins, such as meat, fish and eggs, are most of the foods you will be eating.

When you are working out, your body needs these foods. It can be fattening to double the portions and increase your intake.

Your body needs these foods to continue to recover and grow after your body is damaged by a workout or following the muscle gain diet.

If you follow these muscle gain diets a day after the workout or intense body work, you will then have time to recover and rebuild your body before the next workout.

You will then have time to recover and rebuild your body before the next workout.

A Diet For Real Weight Loss Does Not Mean Not Enjoying Food

By Bentley Loveday

There has been an interesting change in the foods we consume over the past century. The Industrial Revolution brought about faster mechanized ways of creating products and it was only a matter of time before this extended to food. This is not to say that all factory made food is bad, in fact there are many businesses that create their food products with minimal preservatives and ingredients. The issue of today is that many people are uneducated as to what goes into their food or how to feed themselves properly. The hidden danger to eating the copious amounts of ready made food is the increased sugar consumption. Sugar now comes in various forms be it high fructose corn syrup, corn syrup, glucose, and many other pseudonyms. This increased consumption leads to weight gain and learning to recognize what is bad for you will lead you toward a diet for real weight loss.

Education will take you from your food ignorance into knowing what exactly you have been ingesting for, most likely, years. It is not your fault however because their are no comprehensive programs discussing what a healthy diet. The food pyramid? For most people it hardly makes any sense and many nutritionists would argue that the advice is outdated and relies too heavily on an over consumption of processed carbohydrates. Relearning to eat means relearning how to approach your grocery store.

The best thing for you to do in terms of your diet is to start rethinking the way that you shop for food. Staying to the outer peripheries of a store will put you in contact with the healthiest and most whole foods. Whole foods only mean that they are natural and untainted by processing.

This is not to say that all processing as bad, canned tomato sauce for instance does not contain many ingredients. A good rule of thumb of processed food is to see if you can recognize the ingredients. Eating something with only five ingredients is infinitely better than going for the food that contains over twenty and is unintelligible to those who are not food scientists.

These rules and incorporating more made foods will only come after a two week detox. Throw out any juices and sodas you have in your house and this includes diet soda. While it does not contain any calories, the fake sugar has been found to stimulate appetite. It also acts as a crutch to your system to never really get off of sugar.

With just water for your main source of liquid, increase your protein consumption in terms of eggs, chicken breasts, and lean beef. Eat as many vegetables as you like. There are no limits to something so natural, but don't ruin it by boiling them into sogginess or adding ranch dressing. Olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon juice can go a long way in terms of flavor.

Eating flavorful foods means playing with spices, learning how to bring new dimensions to your food through how you cook them. You can be surprised how well olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper can be in making your food taste delicious. This is not a veggie only week, you are allowed to eat proteins in the form of fish, eggs, poultry, and some lean meats. Just don't deep fry anything!

This is also not a carb free week, you can incorporate carbohydrates that are good for you, like the aforementioned whole grains. Potatoes are fine, but sweet potatoes are better and with these you will get some natural sugars. Your second week in, start bringing in some fruits and you will have a better appreciation for the taste of real sugar. This will make you a more conscious eater which is all part of a diet for real weight loss.

Asbestos And Your Health

By Clare Westwood

Asbestos is a very serious problem in Britain. It is responsible for a number of diseases such as asbestosis.

Asbestosis is a chronic inflammation of the tissues of the lungs. Symptoms of asbestosis begin to materialise around fifteen to twenty years after the initial exposure occurs. The symptoms often appear gradually over a long period of time. It is often the shortness of breath that is the most common symptom.

Usually a cough is present which gradually gets worse and worse over time. It is fairly easy to ignore the cough initially but asbestosis coughs become more and more troublesome.

Chest pain is another common symptom associated with asbestosis. It is a good idea to get all chest pain checked out by a doctor in order to discover the cause as it can be the result of many health problems.

A rarer symptom is that the ends of the fingers become swollen and red due to a build up of fluid in the tissues. This symptom is known as finger clubbing and is much less common than the other symptoms.

A doctor will investigate your symptoms after discussing your concerns with you and he or she will also probably listen to your chest using a stethoscope. When suffering from asbestosis a crackling noise will easily be heard on the patient's chest. This is a sure sign of asbestosis.

Your doctor will also take a brief medical history and question whether you have been exposed to asbestos and how long your exposure lasted. Questions will also be asked surrounding the protection used, if any was used.

If an asbestosis diagnosis is expected then the following three tests will be conducted - a spirometer test: This measures how much oxygen you can inhale in relation to how much carbon dioxide you exhale. An X-ray: This may be taken of your lungs and chest. If the asbestos is predicted to be in its early stages then a CT scan may be carried out in order to see clearly what the extent of it is.

Abundance Affirmations For A Better Life

By Nichole Tyler

Abundance is essentially the basis of a person's well-being. This is something that is not controlled by any external factor. Abundance is something that happens on a personal level and transcends anything material. This is the kind of hope with which we live our lives each day. Our attention level is described by how we channel the energy of abundance that is in the universe. In order to harness the power of that energy, we use abundance affirmations.

In life we will encounter hardships and we will start doubting ourselves, our lives. We will ask whether it all makes sense, we will wonder what we are really here for. Our faith will be tested and eventually affirmed because of the abundance that pushes us to go through the difficulties of this life. It is our level of belief that generates that amount of abundance that we have access to at any given time. It is not the abundance that is limited, rather it is our refusal to see it that creates our struggle and pain.

Abundance is the affirmation of faith in life's goodness, regardless of the ugly bends confronted in the entwined road of life. We are surrounded by abundance, but our lives are empty, because we limit our intake; we are not willing to accept, the complete package that life offers, instead we focus on the abundance that desirable and appropriate to our thoughts, emotions, behaviors and action. Creation is splendid in offering abundance, to the point of overflowing, to individuals who seek the abundance of creation in life, experience immense joy, love, health, power, freedom and money.

We are held back by our selfishness and so we do not see all the abundance in our lives. We are prisoners of our presumptions and those beliefs that prevent us from seeing and reaching for that abundance. The social norms are also one of those things that hinder us from abundance.

"Seek and you shall find" is what The Bible preaches, and the law of attraction is based on the preaching - the more you seek, the more information you will attract and your life will be a wealth of abundance.

When we create a power of affirmation in our abundance, then we are focusing on the positive application of the knowledge received. By conditioning our minds to initiate a positive action, a positive reaction will automatically follow. Activating a positive recovery plan for yourself will generate positive affirmations that will see you through; even in the face of irony.

Our creativity and intellect should be geared towards a life filled with abundance. Avoid procrastinating and keep yourself healthy. Spend time for yourself because poor health hinders you from living a life of abundance and well-being. Assert yourself and you will get closer to abundance.

The approach to abundance affirmation is to achieve a balance between physical well-being, financial well-being, spiritual well-being and relationship well-being. Eating healthy, managing your financial resources through intelligent investments, spending quality time with yourself, by being one with the universe or God and spending quality time with friends and family. Sustainable success will result when compassion, love, care and understanding for self and other fellow beings is attained.

Where To Find A High Quality School Messenger Bag Online

By Kara T. Fox

With so many messenger bags on the market today, it is often hard to know what one is looking for in a school messenger bag. In addition, unless one knows the color, size and shape of the bag one is hoping to find, along with the dimensions of a laptop or other items one wishes to carry in same, one may often end up wit a bag that is too large, or, too small. As such, individuals who may be carrying only books and notebooks may not need as big a bag as someone who carries and travels with a laptop or other computer equipment on a regular basis. Regardless, knowing such information can often expedite the shopping experience while making same a great deal more pleasurable overall.

In addition, one may also want to consider the color, latches, weight capacity and quality of zippers on such a product as well. For example, if one is going to be carrying items for others which one needs to remove quickly in order to get on to the next stop, most likely one wants a flap style bag with an easy to open fold over lap for quick and easy access out of such a bag. Whereas, if a student is simply using one to transport either books or a laptop to or from school, one might want to consider a lock and zipper style bag. Regardless, one does want a high quality enough bag so that one can get in and out of same easily, whether the bag has flaps with latches, is a zipper style one, or one which has both with access from both side and top panels.

Although, there are bags which can often serve both purposes such as the SouthPort Silver Side Entry bag which host both a side and top entry. For, by having such dual access, one can gain quick and easy access to a laptop or other items in a short amount of time. Of course, in this day and age with intense airport searches, it is good to have such access, whether one desires to carry such a bag as a carry on an airplane or have such a bag stored in a luggage area.

Also, while the dual access bag is great for laptops up to 15.4 inches in size, those with larger items or laptops may prefer to browse through a variety of such bags until one can find the one which is appropriate for such items. However, this bag offers a few features one may also want to look for in other bags, such as removable computer sleeves, an under the flap organizer with space along with rear pockets for smaller items such as ear plugs, pens and pencils. Regardless, one might want to assure the bag one purchases comes with both a hand and shoulder strap, as it is far easier to travel with such a bag when one has the ability to adjust how one carries same over time.

Of course, one of the most important aspects of such a bag is not what it can carry inside but what materials it is made of both inside and out. For, regardless as to the color, size and style of the bag, if it gets wet without waterproofing, often such bags can be ruined for life. However, if one purchases waterproofing along with such a bag, then often one is protected against the elements, at least to some degree.

For, if such bags get wet, so to the leather as well as the valuable items inside the bag. As such, one may also want to consider the everyday weather and whether or not one is going to be traveling to areas with differing climates. Although, whether or not one may have plans on doing so, it is always a good idea to have such merchandise water proofed. Still, one also needs to keep the bag out of the elements to the extent possible even after such application so as to keep the bag and contents in the best shape possible at all times.

So, when one knows the contents one is going to carry in such a bag, along with the dimensions and size of same, it can make shopping for a school messenger bag a much easier task. In addition, if one has an idea of the color, size and style of the bag one wishes to buy, it can expedite the shopping experience even more. Of course, unless one has such bag waterproofed or waterproofs the bag oneself after purchase, one may run the chance of ruining such a bag to the point of having to replace same. Therefore, while it is important to accommodate the items inside the bag according to their dimensions and weight, it is also important to protect the bag itself; Otherwise, one may not only chance ruining the bag but also the contents.

Why Need Dental Teeth Whitening?

By Gerorge Duncan

Do you need the dental teeth whitening is the question you have asked yourselves for many times because it has threatened your fitness. It seems the toothpaste aisle is filled with dental teeth whitening kits all promising to dramatically change your smile in anywhere from seven days to a month or more. The choices are almost endless, and it can be daunting trying to figure out what your needs are, and what will suit them. So how do you figure out if you even need dental teeth whitening?

Chances are, we all could use a little help. Almost everything we put in our mouth stains our teeth at least temporarily, some a little more than others. For instance, that morning cup of coffee is a big source of stains, especially if you drink it every day and don't brush afterwards. Combine that with the occasional glass of red wine, or heaven forbid, cigarettes, and over time your teeth will definitely be stained a darker color than they should be.

Some other common tooth staining items are tea, colas, and fruits such as blueberries. Brushing immediately after having these things helps, but inevitably we could all benefit from dental teeth whitening. Just how much and what kind is a matter of choice based on our needs.

Your Dentist Knows Best

If you feel dental teeth whitening is something you would like to try, the obvious place to start investigating is your dentist's office. Your dentist can help give you a realistic view of how much dental teeth whitening you need and whether over the counter products can help you or whether you should consider dental teeth whitening in the dentist office. They may recommend you try an over the counter whitening product first as they are much more cost effective.

It's important to talk to your dentist about any over the counter dental teeth whitening products you are considering trying, as they can recommend which ones might work best with your teeth. Different people have varying degrees of tooth sensitivity and many whitening products increase this sensitivity. Your dentist should be able to help you pick the product that will be best for your teeth.

Be Realistic

As in the case of most things, with dental teeth whitening products, you usually get what you pay for. The quickest and best results are going to be from professional whitening in your dentist's office, but often at a hefty price. However, there are over the counter products that are very effective, they just take longer to see results.

It pays to have realistic expectations. You're not going to get a blinding white smile from most over the counter products, but then again, you don't want people to be distracted by how white your teeth are. Your teeth should appear natural, and most people's teeth are not a blinding white.

Remove Dark Circles Under Your Eyes With Eyelastin Is Simple Way

By Addie Davison

Dark circles under the eyes are very common, though no less detested by anyone plagued by them. They tend to make a person look tired and run-down, and sometimes older than their natural age.

There are a number of causes for dark circles under the eyes, such as fatigue, stress, or depression. They can grow more prominent with age, or show up as a sign of a vitamin deficiency. Sun exposure can exacerbate dark undereye circles, as can excessive use of certain medications or drugs.

The best way to remove dark circles under the eyes is to eliminate the cause if possible. Getting adequate sleep, eating healthy, drinking plenty of water, and protecting your skin from sun exposure are all sound ways to combat the dark circles. Receiving treatment for stress and depression when they are present is beneficial in many ways, in addition to helping rid yourself of unsightly darkness around the eyes. When the cause is not so easy to eliminate, there are some other remedies that one can try.

One very popular treatment for tired eyes is to place cucumber slices over the eyes and lay back and relax for half an hour. Another is to place a mixture of lemon and tomato juice over the dark areas twice per day. Still yet, some prefer to place cold tea bags over the eyes to soothe and revive the eye area. As a nightly treatment, one can massage almond oil into the dark areas around the eyes and see good results over time. Though most of these treatments require patience, because they do not always show instant results, they can be effective with persistence and are done easily from your own home with ingredients right out of the kitchen.

If home remedies are not strong enough for you, I highly recommend you check out Revitol Eye Cream. Check out my friend personal review of it here: http://www.associacash.com/uid/MlEzVmQKcgZoHWoYdQw3UDhKawRzBjNDM2wyADMD. This stuff works freakishly well. I have also tried it for my puffy eyes and it worked just like she said.

Understanding Psychic Power

By David Willerby

Have you ever felt that you can almost hear what a person is thinking of while sitting beside you, or may be that you suddenly have very strong and sudden gut feelings of something happening before doing something or going anywhere which later turns out to be right? And if I my guess is right then you have always thought them to be sheer coincidences in your life. And now that you are reading this article, I can safely conclude that somewhere you have doubts in your mind about these experiences and it might well be the case that you are a psychic having specific psychic powers.

Psychic power refers to the ability of perceiving information from one's surroundings which are otherwise hidden from the five sensory organs. Thus, a person can be termed a psychic if he/she has the special ability to see, hear, feel or know certain things which other people cannot. Commonly known as extra sensory perception, psychic powers are believed to be born with or developed after a tragic near death experience or a major event in a person's life which might have turned him towards a spiritual lane. Whatever might be its origin, it has a profound impact on the person's life being perceived as either a special gift or a curse.

Various different types of psychic powers exists in the world, the most common being the power to foresee future events, power to read another person's thoughts or the ability to see things which are otherwise hidden or occurring far away. Thus, precognition, telepathy and clairvoyance are the three most common psychic powers respectively.

If you are a person who can tune in to another person's mind and their thoughts and understand how they are feeling, then you have the psychic power of telepathy. If you have very well developed telepathic powers then you might also inject or infuse your own thoughts into the other person's mind.

If you have the special ability to see things which are hidden or are occurring at a distance then you have the psychic power of clairvoyance. A clairvoyant person is capable of remote viewing of things, events or persons which are thousands of miles away. In contrast to remote viewing, if a person can hear or know about things which are otherwise hidden, the psychic powers are termed clairaudience and clairsentience respectively.

Precognition is the ability to foresee future events. As human beings have a great desire to know about their future, this type psychic power is the most popular.

Other than that of these three psychic powers discussed above, there are various other types of psychic powers. These include the power of taking off from the ground to a higher plane know as levitation, power of influencing things and moving them around with the power of your thought or psychokinesis, power to perceive another person's energy fields radiating from him/her known as aura reading, power of communicating with outside intelligence known as channeling or the psychic power of leaving your own body to travel to another place, known as astral projection.

Lastly, in the aftermath of this discussion it must be concluded that whatever psychic power one possesses should always be though of as a special gift and developed and improved upon responsibly to help fellow human beings.

Weight Loss Tips - Best Foods To Eat For Weight Loss

By Ava Rise

Eating the right things is not just about avoiding high fat foods. Many foods have specific properties which will help you lose weight faster than other low calorie foods, due to properties such as increased appetite control, increased fat burning or even increased metabolism. The following are my best weight loss tips for the best foods to include in your diet to accelerate fat loss.

Nuts For Nuts - Most people believe that eating nuts will make you fat, but research shows otherwise. According to a review study published in the Journal of Nutrition (138:1741S-1745S, 2008), nuts are associated with a lower body mass index. In addition, when subjects add nuts to their diet, it did NOT cause weight gain. The researchers believe that nuts help fill you up (thanks to the fiber) and it's possible that not all of the calories from nuts are absorbed into your body. And finally, some research even found that it was easier for people to stick to a diet when nuts were in their meal plan. Recent research has also shown that subjects lost more fat mass and had a greater reduction in their systolic blood pressure when they substituted almonds for complex carbohydrates in their diet.

Eggstatic ABout Eggs! - Researchers from Louisiana State University in the U.S. looked at the eating habits of a group of overweight and obese women. The women, who were following a low-fat diet, were asked to eat either two eggs a day for breakfast, or have a bagel. The two meals contained the same number of calories and weighed roughly the same amount. However, after eight weeks of breakfasting, the slimmers who had eaten eggs had lost the most weight. As well as shedding 65 per cent more pounds than the bagel eaters, they had lost almost twice as many inches from their waistline. Previous research showed that those who ate eggs for breakfast felt fuller for longer than those who had a bagel and cheese. As a result, they ate less during the rest of the day. It is not completely clear why eggs are so good at making us feel full but it is thought their high protein content could play a large part. Researcher Dr Nikhil Dhurandhar, an obesity expert, said: "The resulting decrease in energy consumption lasted for at least 24 hours after the egg breakfast."

Eat More Mushrooms! - In another study, it was found that volunteers who had mushrooms rather than meat in four otherwise identical meals a week shed almost 13lbs (6kg) over five weeks, with one losing 1.5 stone (9.5kg). The study also found that one man and nine women, aged between 25 and 61, shed a total of 127lbs (57.6kg) over the course of the trial. In another recent trial, Margaret Hill, a 25-year-old mother-of-two from Dagenham in Essex, went from 13st 6lbs to 11st 1lb. "I was amazed by my weight loss - it's the most I have ever managed to lose. I never thought I'd get my body back after I had my kids so I am over the moon. I look and feel fantastic," the Telegraph quoted Hill, as saying. Sarah Schenker, the dietician who led that trial, said: "Mushrooms make a fantastic low-density meat substitute and can assist dieters without them having to radically change their eating patterns. Mushrooms are also great value for money.

Eat More Yogurt - A new study, conducted by researchers at the University of Tennessee, United States of America, suggests that eating yoghurt (curd) helps you lose fat. Researchers found that obese adults, who ate three servings of fat-free yoghurt a day as part of a reduced calorie diet, lost 22 per cent more weight and 61 per cent more body fat than those who simply cut calories. Yoghurt eaters also lost 81 per cent more fat in the stomach area than non-yoghurt eaters. "Not only did yoghurt help the study participants lose more weight -- the average weight loss was 14 pounds (6.8 kilos) -- they were about twice as effective at maintaining lean muscle mass," said lead researcher Michael Zemel. Yoghurt is a source of protein with a high calcium content. Yoghurt as a food may also be beneficial in more ways than one. According to dietician Seema Talreja, yoghurt is recommended in diets because it has a lactic acid bacteria which cleanses the intestines, thus helping in detoxification. Try putting yogurt in soups; on tops of chillis, curries, kebabs, with roasts and casseroles etc. It may seem strange at first but in some regions of the mediterranean; they eat yogurt with nearly everything. Clever them! I add yogurt to most of my meat based meals now and I find it really helps to balance the taste of the meal.

Drink Milk Instead of Fruit Juice - If you fancy grabbing a drink on the run, try and pick up a milk shake instead of a fruit juice. In a recent study, australian scientists found overweight people who downed about 2 1/2 cups of skim milk in the morning consumed 8.5 percent fewer calories at an all-you-can-eat lunch spread than people who drank the same amount of fruit juice. This is because milk is a drink which contains protein, fruit juices don't contain any protein.

Eat More Beans - Scientists found that people who consumed beans were 23 percent less likely to have large waists than those who said they never ate them. Legumes are rich in belly-filling fiber, filling you up for very few calories.

An Apple A Day! - Penn State researchers discovered that people who ate a large apple 15 minutes before lunch took in 187 fewer calories during lunch than those who didn't snack beforehand. (The apples had around 128 calories.) They saved 59 calories per meal. This would be an even larger saving if the apple where eaten as a substitute for high calorie chocolate bars, cakes or crisps. Apples are a great sweetness fix for when you have a sweet craving and they fill you up more than a chocolate bar would as they require lots of chewing, which tricks the brain and contain lots of belly filling fibre.

These are my best weight loss tips for the best foods to include in your diet to really accelerate your weight loss and maybe for the first time make it possible to actually reach those weight loss goals.
