Top Marketing Company Launches ACAI Juice<div id="article-content" style="text-align: justify;">
This is not a story of some explorer hacking his way through the
jungle, searching for a forbidden city, and discovering some mystical
fountain of youth. This is not a tale of the mythological healing powers
of some exotic crop. This is, however, the true account of leading
researchers and scientists who saw a health need and as a result,
discovered an authentic solution.<br />
This
group of experts, led by Dr. Ralph Carson, realized that the world's
population at large were not enjoying the health enhancing benefits
found in some of nature's most wondrous fruits. And that through the
proper intake of the right variety and balance of fruits, grown and
harvested in some of the richest soils of the world, individuals could
benefit from critically important nutrients that are so illusive in
today's polluted environment. Together they made a discovery that they
believe, can significantly impact the landscape of personal wellness
because of 4 important factors.<br />
Factor #1 - The Forgotten Fruits<br />
Evidence
is clear that throughout the world, individuals are not eating enough
fresh fruit. Whether this is due to convenience, cost, or taste,
culturally the world has moved toward cheaper, processed alternatives
rather than raw whole fruits. Dietary trends have eliminated much of the
health benefits nature has to offer. In many ways, all fruits have
become forgotten.<br />
Factor #2 - A Wide Variety<br />
When fruits are
actually remembered, it is just a few: an apple here, a banana there.
If additional fruits are considered, people instantly look for that
single cure-all nutrient, hoping it will be contained in a particular
berry or melon. Consider the body with all of its functions and
processes; it is unreasonable to assume a single substance can aid all
of the body's faculties.<br />
Factor #3 - Color Me Beautiful<br />
Simply
put, fruit with rich color equals fruit rich with nutrients. It is all
about the pigments. Brightly colored fruit naturally contain high levels
of antioxidants and phyto-nutrients for the plant's own protection. The
brighter and deeper the pigments, the more intense and potent the
nutrient levels.<br />
Factor #4 - Wear and Tear<br />
Even with the
full impact of all the nutrients available in fruits, due to wear and
tear, the body still requires more assistance. Once the damage is done,
two natural substances can help: Celadrin and Glucosamine. Celadrin
lubricates the body's cells and revitalizes the membranes that cushion
the bones and joints. While Glucosamine restores flexibility and is the
natural building block of healthy cartilage. Helping repair previous
damage paves the way for the benefits of fruits to have full sway in the
body.<br />
The Solution<br />
Step one was to find the perfect
combination and variety of fruits, rich in pigments. If the right fruit
was rare or expensive it still was to be used--compromise was not an
option. Step two, puree them in their entirety--flesh, skin, and seed so
as to capture all the rich nutrients. Step three, include the repairing
benefits of Celadrin and Glucosamine enabling the body to enjoy the
full benefit of these sometimes forgotten, yet wonderful fruits. And the
final step was to elegantly bottle the juice with the natural
ingredients that enable prompt results.<br />
The solution is MonaVie.<br />
MonaVie
provides the full impact of what fruit really has to offer: This
polished product is the perfect blend of rare and lesser-consumed fruits
from the 4 corners of the earth that are enormously rich with nature's
benefits. It is not a mixture of mythical juices; it is just good
science.<br />
With each bottle of MonaVie purchased, a portion of your
proceeds will be donated to help preserve the Amazon rainforest.
MonaVie's roots are entrenched in the Amazon. The Amazon is a region of
superlatives: it spans the borders of eight countries; it is the world's
largest river basin and the source of one-fifth of the Earth's
freshwater; it has the world's highest diversity of birds and freshwater
fish; it is the planet's largest and most luxuriant rainforest in
which, amazingly, live more than one third of all species in the world.
Despite its natural richness, the Amazon ecosystem is fragile and in
peril.<br />

"As an arthritis specialist, one area that I see people complain
about more often than almost any other, is their feet." So says Dr.
Nathan Wei, Clinical Director of The Arthritis and Osteoporosis Center
of Maryland. "This is too bad because there are many treatments that can
be helpful," Dr. Wei adds.<br />
The foot is made up of 26 bones and 39 muscles...<br />
The
foot and ankle are designed to bear weight. The multiple joints in the
feet are capable of adjusting to almost any terrain and the padding in
the feet are designed to absorb shock.. The ankle joint allows the foot
to move up and down, side to side, and inward and outward (inversion and
eversion).<br />
Not All Foot Pain Comes From The Foot!<br />
Careful
examination of the low back, hip, and knee should be performed because
pain from these areas may affect the foot and ankle. In particular,
pinched nerves in the low back can cause foot pain and weakness.<br />
Ankle sprains are common- 25,000 people sprain an ankle every day!
<br />The goal of treatment is to relieve pain and prevent instability.
<br />Treatment of an acute sprain consists of rest, ice compression and
elevation ("RICE"). Exercises to help stabilize and strengthen the ankle
should be started.<br />
Arthritis of the ankle may cause recurrent pain and swelling.
<br />Pain from arthritis typically is made worse by weight-bearing
particularly on uneven ground. What this means is you should try to
avoid excessive walking or running on uneven ground. Anti-inflammatory
medication and proper foot support can do wonders.<br />
Pain in the ball of the foot has many causes...<br />
<ul>
<li>Foot strain occurs when a person "overdoes it." And the treatment is pretty straightforward. Rest.</li>
<li>Morton's neuroma (a benign nerve tumor usually located between the 3rd and 4th toes)</li>
<li>Tarsal tunnel syndrome (pinched nerve in the ankle)</li>
<li>Arthritis.</li>
</ul>
Other common causes of foot pain include:<br />
<ul>
<li>Stress fractures may occur after excessive walking.</li>
<li>Achilles tendonitis causes pain in the back of the heel. Treatment
consists of anti-inflammatory medicines, rest, a heel lift, and gentle
stretching.</li>
<li>Plantar fasciitis causes pain in the bottom of the heel. Treatment
includes rest, anti-inflammatory medication, heel cup, orthotics,
stretching, and local steroid injection.</li>
<li>Flat foot.</li>
</ul>
Muscle strengthening exercises and orthotics are helpful.
<br />Two other common problems are:
<br />
<ul>
<li>Osteoarthritis, particularly common in the big toe. The big toe will
point out to the side. When bursitis alongside the great toe joint
develops, this condition is referred to as a bunion. Treatment
involves proper padding and footwear. In extreme cases, surgery is
required.</li>
<li>Neuropathy. This painful condition is particularly common in
diabetics. This occurs when the small nerves in the feet are damaged.
Symptoms include burning, tingling, and pain in the feet - worse at
night.</li>
</ul>
Well fitted orthotics (arch supports) can alleviate not
only foot and ankle pain but pain in the knees, hips, low back, and
neck!!<br />
We often take the ability to walk for granted. This
ability involves the use of two engineering marvels- our feet and
ankles. Because of the tremendous amount of force transmitted to the
feet with walking, unique problems may develop. Attention to proper
preventative care, i.e., comfortable shoes, sox, hygiene, support, along
with proper prompt medical care can really put the brakes on foot pain.<br />

During the dark years that followed my diving accident, I
deviated from my wholesome eating habits. This deviation was partly due
to my limited control over my diet, as I lived in a hospital or a group
home. It was also due to my reduced health-consciousness. Largely
disgusted with life, I was proportionally hedonistic and suicidal. I
sought consolation in gustatory pleasure at the risk of undermining my
health. To be more precise, I often overindulged my fondness for fatty
and savory foods or sweet ones, with the result that I gained weight and
lost my edge - that is, part of my vitality. This loss was ominous. It
took a wealth of vitality to accept and overcome the difficulty of
attaining happiness. The more I was devitalized and consequently weak,
the more I was likely to be daunted by this difficulty.<br />
Devitalization
was the worst form of impoverishment. In a state of weakness, it was
tempting to deny that happiness was possible or worth the effort and
choose the easy option: idleness and carelessness or death. I never gave
in to this morbid temptation, but my overindulgence in fatty and savory
foods or sweet ones caused my vitality to lessen and my depression to
worsen, thereby reinforcing my hedonistic and suicidal tendencies. I had
entered a vicious circle, or rather a downward spiral that led to hell.<br />
Fortunately,
before it was too late, I became disgusted with my way of life, as
opposed to life itself. I was less a victim of circumstances than a fool
who brought about his own misery, on account of his negative attitude
and self-destructive behavior. I began my uphill journey to wisdom and
health.<br />
Health is the basis for every human achievement, even when
it is poor, in which case it provides a lot less vitality and longevity
than when it is good. I pledged to do everything possible to be healthy
to maximize my potential to live and love.<br />
In fact, health is not
just a matter of vitality and longevity; it is also a matter of sanity.
A sound mind is a complement to a sound body. Furthermore, the one is
dependent on the other. This dependence had dawned on me with dazzling
clarity a few months after I had moved into my apartment and improved my
diet. By then I had studied many health books. They had helped me
define and meet my nutritional requirements much more wisely.<br />
My
body needed a balanced and moderate amount of carbohydrates, lipids,
proteins, minerals, and vitamins to function well. Correlatively, the
foods containing these nutrients had to be properly chewed to aid
digestion and absorption (this did not apply to fiber: a type of
carbohydrate that the body can neither digest nor absorb). Proper
chewing reduces foods to mush and proportionally increases the effect of
the digestive juices on them or the availability of the nutrients that
are ready for absorption. I thoroughly performed this simple chore, at
the center of life.<br />
To start with, carbohydrates are simple or
complex sugars that I generally obtained from fruit, honey, milk
products, beets, rutabagas, potatoes, legumes (beans, lentils, or peas),
nuts, seeds, whole grains, and the bread, cereal, or pasta made from
these grains. Simple sugars and digestible complex sugars serve as an
energy source and participate in the synthesis of DNA and RNA molecules:
the genetic information and the genetic messengers that enable the
organism to regenerate and reproduce. Indigestible complex sugars,
better known as dietary fiber, are capable of promoting the elimination
of waste through the intestine. Refined foods are depleted of this
fiber, without which constipation is a predictable outcome that bodes
ill. Except on festive occasions, I resolutely avoided them.<br />
Lipids
include two main subdivisions: saturated, monounsaturated, or
polyunsaturated fats (with a phosphoric component in some of them -
i.e., in phospholipids versus triglycerides that are pure fats) and
cholesterol, which is a singular fatty compound. Like simple sugars and
digestible complex sugars, saturated fats and monounsaturated fats serve
as an energy source. In addition, they contribute to the integrity of
the body tissues. Polyunsaturated fats and cholesterol also contribute
to this integrity and are used for a variety of vital functions
involving the cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, and immune systems.<br />
A
distinctive feature of polyunsaturated fats is their instability. When
exposed to heat, light, or air, such as in processing, intense cooking,
or prolonged everyday use, they can suffer damage and become harmful. In
view of this fact, I was careful to eat the foods that contained them -
for example, walnuts and seeds, and the oil extracted from either - in
their most natural (unprocessed and if possible uncooked) form and fresh
(unspoiled) state. When cooking was necessary, as in the case of fish
or tofu, which numbered among these foods, I resorted to steaming or
baking in preference to frying and proceeded with caution, while
avoiding the pitfall of undercooking. I applied the same basic
principles to the foods that contained monounsaturated fats, like
peanuts, almonds, olives, and avocado, and the oil extracted from any of
them, though these fats are less unstable than their polyunsaturated
counterparts. As for cholesterol, found exclusively in animal products,
and saturated fats, found mostly in land animal products, they have a
reputation for causing arterial blockage and organ dysfunction if
consumed without restraint. I limited my intake of them by following a
largely vegetarian diet where animal flesh was the exception, not the
rule. Actually, I exercised restraint in my consumption of
polyunsaturated fats and monounsaturated fats as well. The opposite,
like any lack of moderation, is a health hazard.<br />
Now for proteins.
They are various macromolecules that comprise a large number of amino
acids (nitrogenous molecules that occur in twenty-two different forms).
In the course of digestion, these macromolecules are broken down into
these molecular components, which act thereafter as raw material or
building blocks to produce new molecules or new macromolecules
(polypeptides, smaller than proteins, or proteins) that suit our
physiological needs in many areas: the metabolism, the blood, the mucous
membranes, the skin and the tendons, the muscles, plus the endocrine,
immune, and nervous systems. These molecular components act so if the
body has enough carbohydrates and fats to satisfy its energy
requirements. Otherwise, they are stripped of their nitrogenous part and
mobilized into satisfying these requirements. This constitutes a waste
of precious amino acids and a burden to the kidneys, in charge of
eliminating the free nitrogenous part after the liver has transformed it
into urea. As it happened, my main sources of protein - namely,
legumes, nuts, whole grains, and the bread, cereal, or pasta made from
these grains, together with milk products and eggs - were also rich in
carbohydrates or fats. Here the fats that mattered were saturated or
monounsaturated, whereas the polyunsaturated ones were not a favorable
means of satisfying my energy requirements, given the many other
important roles they played.<br />
Lastly, minerals and vitamins are a
group of some thirty substances that complement carbohydrates, lipids,
and proteins. A deficiency in one of them can hamper a bodily function
and jeopardize in so doing the health of an individual. Collectively, as
precursors or components of useful agents, or as useful agents
themselves, they assist in numerous processes: vision, nerve impulses
and neurotransmission, muscle contraction, digestion and absorption,
regulation of blood sugar and of the metabolic rate, respiration, energy
production, regeneration and reproduction, formation and maintenance of
bones and teeth, coagulation, protection against free radicals (noxious
atoms or molecules), and immunity. My usual sources of carbohydrates,
lipids, and protein already supplied me with minerals and vitamins, all
the more since they were unrefined. Refining is a terrible refinement
that depletes fibers and nutrients in foods. Nevertheless, to make sure I
got enough minerals and vitamins, I rounded off these usual sources
with additional vegetables: carrots, radishes, cauliflower, red cabbage,
green vegetables, leafy or non-leafy, garlic, and onions. I drank
plenty of water to boot, though not during or immediately after meals
lest I interfere with my digestion by flooding my stomach. Drinking
water typically contains a minute quantity of minerals. Much more
importantly, it has the ability to replenish the bodily fluids and
cleanse the system of undesirable substances.<br />
The best thing about
my improved diet was that in a few months my state of mind had taken a
turn for the better in a big way. Never before had I thought so clearly
and felt so enterprising. I was brimming with vitality and soon became
immersed in the writing of my book on "vital efficiency." It appeared I
was a lot more capable of rationalizing and embracing the challenge of
leading a fulfilling life, because I was a lot more alive. My energy
level had risen dramatically. I could sleep three hours, rest another
two hours, and go about my business for the remaining nineteen hours. In
conjunction with this rise, my morale was unusually high. Circumstances
alone could not account for this boost. My relationship with my
girlfriend (the extremely kind and gentle, and rather pretty nurse) was
in the doldrums and on the brink of termination. My new apartment, on
the other hand, was a significant improvement; but what changed for the
better during the few months in question was primarily the condition of
my body, which impacted my state of mind. I was vibrant with health,
notwithstanding I still experienced bladder problems that somewhat
weakened me on occasion. This health was both physical and mental. I had
a vigorous and joyous sense of purpose that kept me going and
especially writing.<br />
In the effort to be healthy, a reasonable diet
is not everything. Fresh air and regular exercise ought to form part of
this effort. There are two types of exercise; both require stretching,
before and after, plus warmup and cooldown periods, to avoid injuries.<br />
The
first type of exercise is anaerobic, not dependent on the intake of
oxygen. An example of anaerobic exercise is weightlifting. Done
frequently, in vigorous workouts, it strengthens muscles and bones. The
second and most beneficial type of exercise is aerobic, dependent on the
intake of oxygen. An example of aerobic exercise is jogging. Done every
day or a few times a week, for at least fifteen minutes (enough to
markedly and sustainedly increase the activity of the respiratory and
cardiovascular systems, responsible for delivering oxygen to the body
tissues), it yields numerous health benefits. Besides strengthening
muscles and bones, it raises endurance, improves the handling of stress,
promotes good mood, boosts the immune function, reduces the risk of
heart attack and stroke, and helps to prevent obesity together with
disorders like diabetes and hypertension that often accompany this
condition. In a nutshell, fresh air and regular exercise are important
aspects of a wholesome lifestyle. They result in someone being stronger,
feeling better, and probably living longer.<br />

Music, Dance and Your Sanity<br />
"To
do science? To really do science? You don't live in the world," he
says. "You live in an attitude." Gerald M. Edelman, M.D., Ph.D., founder
of the Neurosciences Institute, La Jolla, California. Following this
same concept, "In Real Estate and Business it's about Living in an
Attitude!" Ted Borgeas, "From the Chicken Coop".<br />
The benefits of music and dance during the decision making
<br />of buying or selling your home has extended as far back as
<br />Aristotle and Plato. Even Reigning Monarchs had court
<br />musicians and dancers, for their entertainment but possibly
<br />for the relaxing affects from their stresses of boredom? Well
<br />buying and selling a home sure doesn't have boredom but a
<br />lot of anxiety and even stress. With modern technology and
<br />the advent of television and the Internet combining visual,
<br />auditory and artistic qualities these medias have extended
<br />numerous benefits to our homes and businesses.<br />
Applying music, dance, laughter and mirth to the buying and
<br />selling process of properties, has acquired critical acclaim
<br />because of scientific studies that can now measure some of
<br />the perceived health, stress and anxiety release attributes
<br />from music and dance.<br />
One of the best definitions for science and probably for the
<br />home decision makers, I believe was a statement made by
<br />Gerald M. Edelman, M.D., Ph.D., founder of the
<br />Neurosciences Institute, La Jolla, California. He explained
<br />the difference between scientists and other people. "To do
<br />science? To really do science? You don't live in the world,"
<br />he says. "You live in an attitude." Dr. Edelman's statement
<br />"You live in an attitude," can extend to every facet involving
<br />not only in science but our emotions, perceptions and
<br />responses of mind as related to the pressure of the multiple
<br />decisions and complexity of buying and selling your home. Of
<br />course with the right Attitude of Gratitude, especially with the
<br />right Real Estate Professional can contribute a lot of
<br />pleasure and happiness. Responding to each emotion still
<br />encompasses an
<br />Attitude of Gratitude, which can be helped, developed and
<br />improved, as related to our need for sometimes, Heroic and
<br />Daring humanistic actions to these emotions, yes especially
<br />when buying and selling your home or for that matter,
<br />including your family, finances, location and the magnitude of
<br />other disclosures.<br />
The Neurosciences Institute, during their research, has
<br />discovered a way to measure how the human brain
<br />processes intricate tones, presenting incredibly new insights
<br />into the effects of music. While there application may be
<br />directed towards disorders of hearing. I believe, future
<br />studies will extend far beyond into the emotions involved for
<br />any home transactions. But don't let technology interfere with
<br />the Romance of the Home due your transcending enjoyment
<br />of also listening your intuition.<br />
Ted Borgeas uses the same concept, in addition to others,
<br />as Hospitals that are now utilizing the media of combining
<br />soothing music with associated pleasant and relaxing nature
<br />scenes on television, not only in the patient's rooms but also
<br />in the waiting and recovery areas, but instead at his office
<br />and while showing homes in person and on the internet. He
<br />can recall utilizing soothing music and encouraging and
<br />positive conversation regarding the patient's postoperative
<br />responses to projected recovery during surgery in the
<br />operating room. He knew the positive subconscious
<br />interpretations by the patient while under anesthesia aided in
<br />they're perceived recovery and healing and applies the same
<br />principles to homebuyer and sellers.<br />
"People are now using music to help them deal with sadness
<br />and fear." Dr. Anne Blood, a researcher at Massachusetts
<br />General Hospital in Charlestown Massachusetts. "We are
<br />now showing in our study that music is triggering systems in
<br />the brain that make them feel happy." What a startling
<br />revelation, especially since music lovers and people lovers
<br />have known this since eternity!<br />
Our interpretation of applying dance and music to buying or
<br />selling a home may not include Aristotle's and Plato's ancient
<br />perceptions. But the concept of music and dance not only
<br />stimulates physical movement, either overt or imagined but it
<br />also affects our immunological system based on studies
<br />relating to music, laughter and humor.<br />
Dancing is not only physical exercise, including footwork,
<br />rhythm, tempo, balance, control, showmanship and style but it
<br />also helps in transcending thought. Try dancing to any type of
<br />fast tunes and think at the same time? It is especially
<br />beneficial, in times when we may have nasty unbeneficial
<br />feelings and thoughts or confusing perceptions about
<br />properties. It is guaranteed to change you attitude; to a
<br />relaxed Attitude of Gratitude!<br />
"I frequently perform solo dancing, yes, by your-self, utilizing
<br />various types of ethnic music with marvelous results". This
<br />author has utilized music, dance, laughter and mirth, in
<br />conquering his prostate cancer. This of course was in
<br />conjunction with the Physician's God inspired therapies! Try
<br />it? It works.<br />

A popular event in Monaco takes place every year in November, the
Monaco Marathon. And when I say popular, I mean it literally - the event
is open to whoever wants to participate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
territory of Monaco being very restrained, the 42 km Marathon is the
only one that takes place along the coast of three countries, on the
territory of France and Italy.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year, the the 8th Riviera Marathon program was as follows:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>November 12th - from 14.00 to 19.00: inauguration of the Marathon Expo</li>
<li>November 13th - from 10,00 to 22.30:</li>
<ul>
<li>Opening of the Marathon Expo;</li>
<li>Presentation of the course and athletes;</li>
<li>Pasta Party near by the Marathon Expo.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<li>November 14th - from 7.00 to 14.30: </li>
<br /><ul>
<li>Distribution of finals bibs;</li>
<li>Group Warm-up towards the Start Line</li>
<li>9.30 - Start of the 8th "Marathon de Monaco et des Riviera"</li>
<li>10.15 - Start of the 2nd "10 Km of Monte-Carlo"</li>
<li>14.00 - Prize Giving</li>
</ul>
At 9,30 the race was started by HSH Crown Prince Albert of
Monaco outside the IAAF's Headquarters. The course was open for 5.5
hours.
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On November 14th, on a sunny, warm but windy
weather, the starting line-up counted 3000 competitors from over 40
countries. Taking place for the second time this year, the 10 km course
was run by 958 contestants.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This year, the participants fundraised and ran on behalf of Challenge Aspen, a non-profit organization in Colorado that offers assistance for persons with mental or physical disabilities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

In Health<br />
Organically
grown Green Tea is rich in polyphenols and anti-oxidants that fight
free radicals that damage cells and tissue. An 8 oz. Cup of Green Tea
has as much potency as a cup of blueberries, a best source of
anti-oxidants and as much vitamin C as a lemon. It also contains
magnesium, riboflavin, niacin, folie acid and potassium.<br />
Larch
Arabinogalaetin (AG) is a good source of natural dietary fiber. Women
who increase fiber from 12 to 24 grams absorb 90 fewer calories from fat
and protein. Men who increase fiber from 15 to 36 grams absorb 130
fewer calories. Larch (AG) moves waste through the digestive tract
promoting intestinal cleansing, making it the safest dietary supplement.
Unlike psyllium, larch increases mineral absorption, and like our green
tea, it contains no sugar, sweetener, seasonings or colorings.<br />
AG
provides us with healthy bacteria that fight free radicals in the
digestive tract. The digestive tract is the site of the vast majority of
free radical production. A healthy digestive tract directs nutrients to
the organs of the body and eliminates waste.<br />
Skin Care<br />
We
eliminate toxic materials through the digestive and urinary tract.
Should these organs fail, toxins will attempt to exit via our skin,
decreasing the quality of our skin. Green tea, larch, and lavender are
frequently used in skin care products.<br />
Weight Management<br />
Green
tea has been sold in health food stores as a safe way to reduce weight.
Green tea is thermogenie. That is, it bums fat. If we don't burn fat,
we will soon wear it.<br />
Weight Management & Stress<br />
Does
stress causes you to reach for comfort food7 Comfort foods are often
used to deal with emotional events. Lavender is emotionally balancing;
that is, it picks us up when we are down and helps to calm us when we
are tense. Possibly reducing our desire for high calorie sweets. Long
before Lavender was used for fragrance, it was considered a culinary
delight. Enjoy the taste of Lavender Green Tea with Larch and profit
from the many nutritional benefits without the calories.<br />

A Training Diary is a Vital Tool For Your Fitness Success<br />
I know you've heard this before and it seems
<br />"basic". But it is an important key to success.
<br />And apparently, it isn't heard enough because
<br />I'd say less than 1% of the people I see in the
<br />gym keep track of their workout.<br />
An essential part of the organization needed to
<br />get each workout day right is a training diary.
<br />At its most basic minimum this is a written record
<br />of reps and poundage for every work set you do and
<br />an evaluation of each workout so that you can stay
<br />alert to warning signs of overtraining.<br />
After each workout reflect on your evaluation and,
<br />when necessary, make adjustments to avoid falling
<br />foul of overtraining.<br />
A training diary or journal is indispensable for
<br />keeping you on track for training success. No matter
<br />where you are now -- 180-pound squat or 500, 13-inch
<br />arms or 17, 135-pound bench press or 350 -- the
<br />systematic organization and focus on achieving goals
<br />that a training journal enforces will help you to
<br />get bigger, stronger, and leaner.<br />
As simple as it is to use a training log, do not
<br />underestimate its vital role in helping you achieve
<br />your fitness goals. Most trainees are aware that
<br />they should record their workouts in a permanent
<br />way, but few actually do it.<br />
And even those trainees who keep some sort of
<br />training log usually fail to exploit its full
<br />potential benefits. This is one of the major reasons
<br />why most trainees get minimal results from their
<br />training.<br />
Your training journal is extremely important and
<br />should be more than just a list of weights, sets
<br />and rep.<br />
When used properly, a training journal enforces
<br />the organization needed to get each work-out right,
<br />week after week, month after month and year after year.
<br />By recording your poundages and reps, you log your
<br />entire training program and the week-by-week breakdown
<br />of how you work through the routine (s) in each
<br />training cycle in the journal.<br />
A training log eliminates reliance upon memory.
<br />There will be no, "Did I squat eight reps with 330
<br />pounds at my last squat workout, or was it seven?"
<br />Refer to your journal and you will see precisely
<br />what you did last time--i.e., what you need to
<br />improve on if you are to make your next workout a
<br />step forward.<br />
With a well-kept and detailed journal, you'll know
<br />with absolute certainty what is working in your
<br />program and what doesn't. Are you stagnating? Not
<br />making the progress you want? Go back and consult
<br />your journal at a time that you were making fantastic
<br />progress? What were you doing then that you are
<br />not doing now?<br />
You must be 100 percent honest when entering data.
<br />Record the quality of your reps. If you did five
<br />good ones but the sixth needed a tad of help from
<br />a training partner, do not record all six as if
<br />they were done under your own steam. Record the
<br />ones you did alone, but note the assisted rep as
<br />only a half rep.<br />
It is not enough just to train hard. You need to
<br />train hard with a target to beat on every work
<br />set you do. The targets to beat in any given workout
<br />are your achievements the previous time you performed
<br />that same routine.<br />
If you train hard but with no rigorous concern
<br />over reps and poundages, you cannot be sure you are
<br />training progressively. And training progressively
<br />is the key to making progress. But for accurate records
<br />of sets, reps and poundages to have meaning, your
<br />training conditions must be consistent.<br />
If at one workout you rush between sets, then at the
<br />next workout you take your time, you cannot fairly
<br />compare those two sessions.<br />
If one week the deadlift is your first exercise and
<br />the following week you deadlift at the end of the
<br />workout, you cannot fairly compare those two workouts.
<br />And the form you use for each exercise must be
<br />consistent and flawless every time you train.<br />
Likewise, if you do 3 sets of the bench press and
<br />one workout you take 1 minute between sets and the
<br />next workout you take 3 minutes between sets, you
<br />can't be sure that you've progressed from one
<br />workout to the next.<br />
Get all the details of your training in black and
<br />white, refer to them when appropriate and get in
<br />control of your training. In addition to control
<br />over the short term, this permanent record will
<br />give you a wealth of data to analyze and draw on
<br />when designing your future training programs.<br />
Keep accurate records of each workout, each
<br />day's caloric and protein intake, how much
<br />sleep you get, muscular girths and your body
<br />composition. Then you will remove all guesswork
<br />and disorder from your training program.<br />
But all of this is just a bunch of words. You
<br />have to make the theory and rationale come
<br />alive with your conscientious and methodical
<br />practical application. Do exactly that now, and
<br />take charge of your training!<br />
Most trainees have neither the organization
<br />needed for success nor the will and desire to
<br />push themselves very hard when they need to.
<br />But these are the very demanding essentials for
<br />a successful fitness program.<br />
Find out how you did in trying to make today
<br />another step toward achieving your next set of
<br />short-term goals. Have all of today's actions--
<br />training (if a training day), diet and rest--met
<br />or exceeded the goals for the day? If not, why
<br />not?<br />
A daily critical analysis of what you did and
<br />did not do to take another step forward will
<br />help you to be more alert to improving tomorrow.<br />
Take a few minutes each day to review your
<br />journal.<br />
Take as much control over your life as you can.
<br />Learn from your mistakes. Capitalize on the
<br />good things you have done. Do more of the
<br />positive things you are already doing and
<br />fewer of the negative things.<br />

Being tired in fast becoming the new 20th century disease.
According to the book 'The 28Day Plan' lack of energy can be attributed
to: a bad diet, overindulgence in alcohol, lack of sleep and smoking.
Plus we know that stress can zap our energy and leave us feeling tired.
So how can we get more energy into our life?<br />
One
of the best ways to increase your energy is to eat energy producing
foods such as porridge, muesli, fish, poultry, lean lamb, bananas, dried
fruit, fresh fruit, fresh vegies, baked potatoes, wholemeal foods,
fresh juices, water, Soya milk, seeds and nuts. Foods to limit are
coffee, tea, cows cheese, beef/pork, sugary foods, pastries, biscuits,
chips, white flour foods, fizzy drinks and chocolate (oh no!).<br />
Other tips in the 28-Day Plan book to raise and restore energy are:<br />
(1).
Hibernation-take 20 minutes a day for quiet time. Think about no one
and nothing. Lie down, listen to some favourite music or close your
eyes and drift off to a beautiful island.<br />
(2). Breath-Spend 5
minutes doing some deep breathing. Sit on the floor in comfortable
clothes. Close your eyes and slowly breathe in through your nose, hold
for a count of five and slowly exhale to a count of 5.<br />
(3). Laugh-Have a good belly laugh. Watch a funny video or tell a funny joke. Refer back to my last newsletter for more tips.<br />
(4).
Sleep-Most of us realise we need 8 hours of sleep for the most benefit.
Some other tips are to sleep with the window slightly open (be security
conscious too). Have a firm supportive mattress and sufficient
pillows. Eat at least 5 hours before going to bed. Go to bed the same
time each night. Relax before bed.<br />
(5). Pamper yourself-Go out
and treat yourself to a beautiful bunch of flowers (or pick some from
your garden). Have a massage, give yourself a facial or bubble bath, and
go out for herbal tea with a friend.<br />
(6). Do some stretching and flexing of your body at the start of each day.<br />
(7).
Exercise for 30 minutes each day. Some exercise ideas are: walking,
jogging, cycling, skipping, bouncing (trampoline), swimming, cleaning
and gardening. Have a health check before starting any exercise
program.<br />
(8). Eat breakfast.<br />
So get to it. Use this information and tips to begin putting more energy back into your day!<br />

I am writing this on a Sunday morning following a very restless night
when sleep just didn't want to be my friend. I have suffered with
insomnia for many years but, by using a combination of techniques, it is
more or less under control.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday,
I spent much too long working on changes to my website. I was enjoying
it, so the time shot by. I ended up sending out for a big Chinese meal
late in the evening. A vast quantity of spicy food was washed down
with several glasses of wine. If you want to lie awake half the night,
just do as I did. The remedy is simple and obvious. Time to get a grip
on the lifestyle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Self-inflicted insomnia is easily cured. What I
call "real" insomnia is a beast of a much deeper hue, debilitating and
much harder to defeat. Even so, it is not impossible to overcome and
there is a whole range of things you can do to get the upper hand.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here
I should state that I do not pretend to have any special medical or
therapeutic knowledge and I would not advise anybody to stop taking
their prescribed medication. I am just sharing my experiences in the
hope that they might help other people who are struggling through
wakeful nights.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The following tips for getting off to sleep are pretty well known but I think they are worth repeating.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1.
Keep the bedroom just for bed with no reminders of daytime activities
like work or study. Decorate the room in restful colours and use soft
lighting. Make sure the temperature is comfortable and the ventilation
adequate. Hang curtains which are heavy enough to block out the early
morning light.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Have a bedtime routine. This does not involve
doing anything special, it is just a matter of doing the same things in
the same order each night. We all have things we do regularly: empty
the dishwasher, put out the cat, lock the front door, set the alarm,
brush teeth etc. These routine things are our steps away from the
activity of the day, towards the restful night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Make a soak in
a warm bath part of your nightly ritual. Adding a few drops of
aromatherapy oil to the water makes it doubly relaxing, soft background
music makes the experience positively decadent.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Don't drink
alcohol late at night. A nightcap might make you feel drowsy but it
will disrupt your natural sleep rhythms and exacerbate your problem.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6.
A warm milky drink is the best thing to have last thing at night.
(Yes, our mothers were right when they made us drink cocoa.) There are
tons of instant milky drinks available and most ranges have low fat
options. If you don't like this milky, chocolatey type of drink, try
out herbal teas but avoid anything containing caffeine.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7.
Exercise is important but should be performed several hours before
bedtime otherwise the adrenaline will still be pumping around your
system and keeping you awake.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What if you follow the above tips,
fall peacefully asleep and then wake up three hours later, in the dark
middle of the night? To me, this is the most distressing type of
insomnia. I know how it feels to wake up at 2.00 am, listen to the
clock chime every hour round to 7.00 am, fall asleep and be rudely
awakened by the alarm at 7.30. I always feel worse after that final
snatched half hour of sleep than I felt in the middle of the night and
sometimes get up insanely early to avoid it. The following tips can
help you get back to sleep.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Recognise why you are awake. If
you are too hot, cold or uncomfortable in any way, fix that problem. I
often wake up thirsty, so I always have a jug of water at my bedside.
Sometimes a drink of water is all that's needed to get back to sleep.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2.
Relax by breathing slowly and deeply and by concentrating on tensing
and then relaxing every muscle in your body, one by one, starting with
toes and working upwards to your head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Keep a pen and paper
by your bed so if you are worrying about things you have to do, you can
write them down in a list. This way you can stop worrying about
forgetting anything important. As you write each thing down, visualise
it leaving your brain and lodging itself on paper where you will find it
safely in the morning. I find this exercise helps a lot if I have
things on my mind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If all this fails, you have been awake for over
half an hour and know you are in for a long wakeful night; give up, get
up, go do things. You won't feel any worse and you will probably feel
better. There is no point in wasting those hours just lying there
worrying about insomnia. If you feel sleepy further into the night, you
can always go back to bed.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I gave up insomnia by sleeping
whenever I could and getting up and doing things when I was wide awake
even if it was the middle of the night. I decided to sleep when I
could, not worry if I woke up at strange hours and not waste time
tossing and turning in search of sleep. The decision to stop worrying
was the key to my recovery.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was fortunate in that I was not tied
to a 9-5 work schedule, most of my work was done at home or in the
library. All I had to do was make sure I was there for my children who
were all school age.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Over a few weeks I "enjoyed" a strange
lifestyle. I would go to bed at my normal time, get up at any time of
night when I couldn't sleep (usually between 3.00 am and 5.00 am) and
read or write essays or do quiet household chores. Then I would get the
children up and see that they had breakfast and got off to school. I
would then, depending how I felt, carry on working or go to bed. My
alarm would be set so that I did not have to worry about being asleep
when the children came home from school (I never was: I think mothers
have an internal alarm clock). I would sleep for as long as I needed
and then get up and carry on with my day. At weekends I could sleep
while the children were doing homework or out with their friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gradually,
my night-time sleep became longer and my spells of daytime sleep grew
shorter. Without any effort or worrying, I reverted to a normal sleep
pattern and resumed a conventional timetable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Several years
afterwards I came across this quotation: "If you can't sleep, then get
up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It's the worry
that gets you, not the loss of sleep". -- Dale Carnegie. I couldn't
have put it better myself!</div>

When it comes to fitness, no one likes being a failure, yet more than half
<br />of new exercisers quit their program within the first six months. With a
<br />little help you can ensure you're not one of them. Give these ideas a try
<br />as you begin your exercise program for the new year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Set goals</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you don't know where you are going, how will you know when you get
<br />there? Setting short-term and long-term goals may increase your
<br />chance of success. Your goals must give a clear picture of the end-point
<br />to work towards. Use the SMART model, your goal should be Specific,
<br />Measureable, Attainable, Realistic, and Time-bound. Without these
<br />you'll never know if you have achieved the goal. You can't just say "lose
<br />weight or gain energy." Instead say, "I will lose 10 pounds in 12 weeks
<br />by doing strength training 3 times a week and cardio 3 times a week."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Go for variety</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whether you do a home workout or belong to a gym, build your routine
<br />on cross-training to keep things fresh and interesting, and keep yourself
<br />from developing an injury. Frequently vary the order of your exercises
<br />and mix in dumbbells, barbells, resistance tubing, machine or body
<br />weight exercises. Don't be afraid to take a class.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Track your progress</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Write down your measurements and weight at the beginning of your
<br />program. Keep a workout log and use it. Seeing results is a great
<br />motivator. At least once a month, re-measure and review your log to see
<br />advances in your aerobic fitness, strength, flexibility and body
<br />composition.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Seek out support</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A workout partner with similar goals and a positive attitude can make
<br />your workout more fun. knowing you are accountable to another person
<br />can be a great motivator too. So can working with a certified personal
<br />trainer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Devise a backup plan</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Time and access are the largest obstacles to fitness, and even devoted
<br />exercisers experience lapses. Don't use these as excuses to avoid
<br />exercise. Having some portable home workout gear like a stability ball,
<br />resistance tubing, jump rope, and dumbbells, will allow you to work out
<br />while traveling, at home or even at work. With limited time, focus on
<br />compound
<br />movements for the largest muscle groups and superset 2 for opposing
<br />muscle groups. A brief but intense workout can be accomplished in a
<br />few minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Just do it</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While pumping iron may not be right for everyone, the idea being active
<br />is. Find something you enjoy doing that elevates your heart rate and
<br />challenges you most days of the week. Also pay attention to how you
<br />feel. If you are like most people in as little as three weeks you will find
<br />yourself
<br />sleeping better and feeling more rested.</div>

Carbon monoxide poisoning is responsible for at least 400 accidental
deaths and over 5,000 people are treated in hospital emergency rooms per
year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unfortunately,
carbon monoxide poisoning is often misdiagnosed as flu, food poisoning,
allergy/asthma or chronic fatigue syndrome.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Children, the elderly, individuals with respiratory problems and pets are at risk, even at low levels.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Symptoms
of carbon monoxide poisoning are; headaches, nausea, drowsiness,
vomiting, tiredness, pain, cramps and sleep disturbance.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some people experience headaches and dizziness for almost 2 years prior to carbon monoxide poisoning diagnosis.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas that is highly toxic, making it impossible to detect with our senses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Carbon
monoxide is produced by incomplete combustion in household appliances
like furnaces, boilers, water heaters, stoves, ovens, fireplaces as well
as well as automobiles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tips to protect yourself and your loved ones:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1) Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2)
Have your appliances (boilers, furnaces, stoves, water heater,
fireplaces) checked and serviced by a reputable heating company.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be sure they are equipped with a professional carbon monoxide analyzer.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If they tell you they don't have one, find another company!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3 Do not use unvented appliances (kerosene heaters, barbecue grilles) in the house.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4) If you have a garage that is attached to your home click here.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5)
Any time you strengthen the insulation properties or add a ventilation
fan you should have your appliances checked to ensure the upgrades have
not compromised the ability of the appliances to safely draft the
combustion products from the house.</div>
