the perfect balance of ingredients. Their digestion becomes a very complex task and uses up a lot of energy contained in those products. In some cases digestion requires more energy than the food contains. It takes large amounts of such foods to kill hunger.No program, diet, or chef can balance the amounts of proteins, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and microelements in our meals the same way they are balanced in plant-based products.The knowledge allowing us to use a correct diet is very important. It is not enough to prepare tasty meals; we need to know how to properly nurture our bodies.An old Tibetan adage teaches: Most people get ill for one of two reasons overeating or hunger. As it turns out, we often use forks and spoons to dig our own graves.Less flour - more powerLets take a look at flour a common product in our households. It is made from grains. Unrefined flour contains vitamins B, PP, and F, mineral salts, enzymes, and other ingredients needed in our body. A grain consists of 85% starch and 15% biological coating. The substances contained in the coating allow us to break down and absorb the starch.Refined flour does not have the coating it is poor in vitamins, enzymes and minerals. The digestion of white bread or buns requires a number of substances that are removed in the refining process. Our digestive system is going to take them from our bodys resources. Refined flour is hard to digest. We know what happens to flour when it is mixed with warm water. It expands and forms a glue-like substance. Refined flour behaves the same way in our intestines, slowing the digestion of other foods and forming gallstones or bladder stones.We add substances such as food coloring, aromas, acidity modifiers, stabilizers, and thickeners in order to make our breads, buns, cakes, biscuits, and other refined flour products more attractive. What happens with these additives? They remain in the body and gradually poison us. They cause our muscles and joints to stiffen. This is how white flour products can cause us a lot of suffering. The truth about meat the time bombConsuming large amounts of animal proteins (meat, deli etc.), in amounts exceeding our bodys daily demand, causes rotting processes, constipation, and poisoning of the body by lactic, oxalic, and uric acids (the three main culprits responsible for joint diseases, back pain, osteoporosis, and other mobility-reducing disorders).Meat itself does not have taste nor smell so we fry, cook, and season it to improve its taste. When meat is processed, it releases about 20 poisonous substances that can cause damage to blood vessels and the nervous system. The digestion of meat requires large amounts of vitamins and microelements. If we do not eat adequate amounts of raw vegetable salads together with meat, digestion is incomplete and the undigested meat putrefies in our intestines. The putrefaction processes increase the alkalinity of our large intestine, which leads to blood acidity. Alkaline environment promotes the development of diseased cells (especially cancerous). Those who excessively consume meat are the prime candidates for cancer.There
is one more fact that requires your attention. Excessive consumption of animal proteins, especially in early childhood, puts us at risk of immune system disorders. The digestion of meat needs large amounts of vitamins and microelements that are taken from the childs blood. Depleted levels of these substances cause the development of hidden anemia and blood diseases. Ironically, all kinds of allergies, eczemas, and other disorders typical for the age of puberty are usually the result of our parents well-intended care. Unaware of the dangers, they cause damage to their childrens health by including too much meat in the diet.Eastern philosophy teaches that each food product we consume contains information about its place of birth and development: - the climate, the exposure to sunrays, moonlight, etc. What kind of information can be contained in meat? Times when cattle were grazing on green pastures are long over. They are raised their entire lives without sunlight or fresh air. Instead of eating fresh, juicy grass, they are fed hormones and various synthetic feeds.When we buy a shapeless piece of meat, we do not think that it was once a part of a lovable animal that was killed by electrocution. It is naive to believe that animals do not sense impending death in their last moments. They sense it very clearly. Faced with aggression and driven by fear, a slaughtered animals body produces large amounts of poisonous hormones, which we consume later as we enjoy our steaks. No wonder that both adults and children become increasingly aggressive and hot-tempered. Aggression always breeds aggression - this old truth is confirmed by the results of high meat consumption.In recent years (1999-2002), the number of BSE (Mad Cow Disease) cases in Western Europe has grown to epidemic proportions. Cattle affected by BSE experience a complete degeneration of their nervous system (sections of their brain tissue turn spongy). Instead of feeding cattle exclusively with plant-based food, the industry started using animal proteins in the form of meat and bone meal. BSE is a vivid example of physiological changes that can be caused by eating improper food. To prevent the spread of BSE, whole herds of cattle are slaughtered and incinerated. May God prevent children whose diet is based on meat from the consequences of unnatural feeding practices in the cattle industry! CHEAP CANCER CURE?As reported by CBC News yesterday, the small community of Peace River, Alberta, has collected $250,000 to fund the clinical trial of dichloroacetate, or DCA. The drug has been in use for decades but only recent studies on rats showed that DCA fights cancer by attacking the metabolism of malignant tumors.That would normally be a great news if it wasnt an old drug with expired patents. As a generic drug it costs only about $2 a dose, and as a result no drug company is willing to finance further research of DCA and perform any tests on humans. Big pharmaceutical companies spend billions of dollars on research of new drugs that they can patent and sell at high price. The irony is that if a cheap
solution to a health problem is found nobody can make profits on that, and consequently no drug company is willing to support any such finding. That is when the communities of Alberta decided to step in. In addition to a quarter of a million raised by the residents of Peace River, the community of Grimshaw, a town close to Peace River, also raised more than $100,000 toward the research.The research is going to be undertaken by the scientists of the University of Alberta in Calgary. According to CBC News Health Canada approved DCA for the limited trial on people with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma. The researchers are looking for 50 patients in Edmonton who have already tried chemotherapy, surgery or radiation with no success. The drug is to be tested over the next 18 months.The drug was promoted on the internet by The DCA Site, an internet site from Sonora, California. But now they have a following message on their home page:Two agents from the FDA visited us on Tuesday, July 17, 2007 and ordered that we stop making and selling DCA. Unfortunately, the site www.buydca.com no longer offers DCA for sale. The drug can still be purchased from pharmacists with a prescription. However, until the research confirms otherwise, it cannot be prescribed against cancer.Doctors warn of potential problems if people attempt to try DCA outside a controlled clinical trial. "If it starts going badly, who is following you before it gets out of control? By the time you realize your liver is failing, you're in big trouble," said Laura Shanner, Associate professor of health ethics at the University of Alberta.On the other hand, people with advanced stages of cancer do not have much to lose and it is very likely that they will be trying DCA at their own risk.A private cancer centre in Toronto, lead by wife-and-husband team Drs. Humaira and Akbar Khan, prescribe DCA to cancer patients in Ontario who have exhausted all other treatments. Disease in a BottleThese days, it is common to substitute mothers milk with cow milk or baby formulas. Human breast milk is rich in lactose that creates an environment that is favorable for the development of friendly bacteria in the babys large intestine.Cows milk contains certain types of proteins and antibodies, not possible for a baby to digest. These substances, instead of regular fermentation, undergo rotting in the babys intestine, when the baby is fed with cows milk or other substitutes. This causes autotoxication, imbalance in the microflora, and leads to the degeneration of the babys intestine.Substitutes do not have the biological information contained in mothers milk, and that causes the baby to constantly feel hungry and require frequent feeding. Because of that, starch and meat products are usually sooner included in the diet. The babys digestive system is not fully formed; therefore it is not ready to digest and absorb these products. Certain necessary enzymes are not present in it. We can notice that many children, two to five years old, constantly have a mucous substance under their noses.
acquire a taste for sweets. The habit may be very difficult to eliminate later in the childs life. INCORRECT BREATHINGWhen we come into this world, the first thing we do is to take a deep breath. The last thing we do leaving the world is to stop breathing. Our life is what occurs between our birth and death, and it depends completely on our breathing. Breathing is the invisible food, without which we cannot live for even five minutes.Some German studies suggest that as many as nine out of ten people breathe incorrectly. Why is this happening?Try watching little children breathe. Their abdomens expand and contract as they breathe in and out, utilizing especially a major muscle called the diaphragm. With this kind of breathing, the lungs have a lot of room to take air into their middle and lower sections. The more oxygen gets in when we inhale, the better is the ventilation of our lungs, and more oxygen is absorbed and carried by our blood erythrocytes to produce energy. Thanks to this kind of breathing, children are robust, active, and happy.Grown people breathe in an entirely different way. As we progress in years, lead an inactive lifestyle, suffer from spine misalignment, obesity etc., we start breathing differently. When we breathe in, our rib cage expands, our abdomen is deflated, our shoulders and collarbone move upwards. Only the upper, smallest sections of the lungs are involved in this kind of breathing. It usually does not provide enough air and we have to breathe more frequently (It is particularly noticeable in obese people.) Only small amounts of inhaled oxygen get into our lungs. The lungs work intensively but only in their upper parts. They become overworked and their cells suffer premature wear. There are layers of dead, inactive cells in the lung tissue.The older we get the larger sections of our lungs are no longer involved in the breathing process. Our body is constantly oxygen-starved. This causes not only respiratory diseases but also disorders of circulatory system, pancreas, liver, kidneys, gastrointestinal tract, and many more.We can delay our aging by thirty to forty years and avoid many diseases by utilizing the diaphragm better. It has been known for a long time that people of high longevity breathe slowly. A 130-year old East Indian person who looked half his age, when asked about the secret of his longevity said, It is correct breathing (he breathed once a minute). One of the principles of ancient medicine states: The fewer times we breathe in one minute, the longer our life is. Factors Causing Damage to our HealthThere are five main factors causing damage to our health:Neglected spineIncorrect breathingIncorrect dietLack of internal body hygieneInability to live a blissful lifeNeglected SpineStand in front of a mirror and take a close look at yourself. What is your spine like? Is your back becoming hunched? Does your abdomen push forward? Do you suffer from back pains?Unfortunately, most people have these symptoms because they have weak back muscles. They used to hold our spine without much strain. Our muscles become
weak as we age, mainly as a result of physical inactivity, incorrect diet, obesity, sleeping on soft mattresses, etc.Sometimes the best methods of examination are unable to detect minute dislocations of vertebrae, causing symptoms that have apparently nothing to do with our spine.Our spine is the column that supports everything our body consists of. Various movements can often cause minute dislocations of vertebrae; the muscles around a dislocated vertebra stiffen up and prevent it from moving back to its proper position. This results in progressive nerve and muscle inflammation, causing pain and limiting our range of motion.A dislocated vertebra creates pressure on nerves and blood vessels that are connected with specific muscles and organs. If a nerve remains under pressure for a long time, the organ depending on that nerve develops pathologies that are hard to cure.According to statistics, one out of ten children in the world wears glasses, suffers from allergies, frequent headaches, abdominal pain, chronic colds, attention deficit, etc. The cause of these problems, and many others among the younger generation, is often a degenerated spine. We neglect it from early childhood without realizing that it will cause most of our health problems when we become adults.This is why, in order to return to good health, we should first start paying attention to our spine.
Women: The Longevity Factorshow to live into the 90s with health and vigor!By Kate Freer | Mulheres: Os fatores de longevidadecomo viver nos anos 90 com saude e vigor!Por Kate Freer |Minha avo viveu em finais dos anos 90. Tomei o cuidado de muitas mulheres idosas que estavam muito fisicamente apto e mentalmente afiada tambem. Eles so precisavam de alguma ajuda para fazer compras e tarefas menores. Uma mulher poderia executar poses de ioga, incluindo pe sobre a cabeca aos 85 anos de idade. Eu seria cozinhar-lhe uma refeicao, e nao estaria de pe sobre a cabeca. Ela iria oferecer para me ensinar. Outra mulher poderia sair a pe todos os cuidadores que tinham sido contratados para lhe fazer companhia. Essas mulheres eram independentes, resoluto, ativo fisicamente e na vida. Entao, o que os diferencia de muitas outras mulheres que estao em lares de idosos? Quais sao os seus segredos?Exercicio diario: Todas essas mulheres eram fisicamente ativos durante toda a vida. Este estilo de vida ativo foi mantido em seus anos mais velhos. Eles andam todos os dias, talvez mais lento, mas eles andam. Muitos deles usam uma bicicleta estacionaria que e mais seguro para eles ou uma esteira. Eles levantar pesos para fortalecer seus musculos. Todos eles ainda mantem um programa de exercicios que e rigoroso.Comer magra: As mulheres que vivem mais tempo, costumo comer magra e partir do zero. Voce nao vai encontrar muitas mulheres que vivem em seus anos noventa com a saude, que sao obesos. Eu conheci algumas mulheres mais velhas que eram realmente saudavel e todos foram muito caimento. Eles tinham um estilo de vida de boa alimentacao e cuidar de sua saude naturalmente. Se eles estivessem em uso de medicacoes, foi apenas um ou dois. Eles acreditavam em saude como um estilo de vida diario.Manter um peso saudavel: Um dos habitos de estilo de vida que ajudam a garantir uma vida longa e saudavel, e a manutencao de um peso saudavel. Isso ajuda a prevenir a diabetes e as doencas cardiacas, que encurtam a vida e a qualidade de vida. Ele lhe da a energia para participar de mais atividade fisica. E mais facil para pernas e pes. Manter um peso saudavel ajuda a desviar a problemas osseos e articulares. Mais todas as mulheres que conheci que eram saudaveis, tambem foram caimento. Isso nao significa que eles tinham o peso ideal, mas eram magros. A obesidade e um dos problemas mais graves neste seculo. Mais e mais mulheres estao acima do peso ou obesos. O sao mais cirurgias de banda de volta do que nunca. Precisamos parar essa tendencia ou as mulheres nao estarao vivendo desde que fez uma vez. Eles nao estarao vivendo em seus anos noventa com uma qualidade de saude.Manter sua mente afiada: As mulheres que tem uma mente afiada, usa-lo todos os dias. Muitos, como a minha mae, eram fas de palavras cruzadas ou jogadores avidos scrabble. Ha mulheres em seus 90 ainda jogando bridge e vencedoras.Jogos, puzzles e ponte todos manter a mente ativa e saudavel. Mesmo assim, o exercicio fisico
vai um longo caminho em preservar uma mente saudavel, voce precisa exercitar sua mente tambem. Jogos fazer exatamente isso. Existe um programa em muitas comunidades onde os idosos tutor criancas na escola primaria. Esta e uma atividade que e uma situacao win-win.Comunidade Spirited: Muitas mulheres que eu falei para ao longo dos anos foram ativos na vida. Eles eram membros de organizacoes que ajudaram o dinheiro desabrigadas ou levantado para caridade. Essas mulheres tem uma vitalidade para a vida e de viver. A nao ir com a mare, eles eram o movimento que definir as coisas em movimento. Este parece ser um aspecto importante da longevidade e saude.Atitude para Dificuldades: As mulheres sempre foram dificeis. Nos dias pioneiros, eles enterraram os maridos e filhos, mas continuou. O sofrido no pior dos tempos. Mulheres sao dificeis, porque eles tem uma atitude de desapego do passado, e fazendo o que e necessario para ir para a frente. Eles sabem que tem filhos para alimentar, por isso eles continuam com um coracao que diz: "as coisas vao melhorar." Eu vi minha mae manter a comida na mesa e um teto sobre nossas cabecas, quando o meu pai nao funcionou para months.She fez tudo o necessario para manter as coisas funcionando. As mulheres fazem limonada de limao, como uma forma de existencia. Mulheres encontrar uma maneira de tirar a dor e fazer algo de positivo aconteca.Nunca e tarde para comecar: Doenca e idade nao sao desculpas para nao tentar alcancar uma saude melhor. Voce pode sempre comecar um programa em qualquer idade. Um exemplo brilhante desta verdade, e Ida Keeling que a 95 ainda esta em execucao corridas e ganhar. Ida nao foi sempre saudavel e em forma. Em 1958, quando ela perdeu seu jovem marido, e depois seus dois filhos, ela tornou-se deprimido, triste e doente. Sua pressao arterial subiu a 206/106. Esses foram dias muito escuros. Ela cresceu em Harlem e sua infancia nao foi facil, mas ela quase quebrou com a dor de perder seus dois filhos. Ela tinha 67 anos e nao jovem quando essas mortes tragicas ocorreu. A filha dela, que e o atletismo treinador na Escola Fieldon no Bronx, falou Ida em sua primeira corrida de 5k para dar-lhe uma saida para a dor. Ela comecou sua mae em um treino saudavel que ela continua ate hoje. Exercicio e corrida era a sua bencao e colocar sua saude de volta na pista tambem. Entao, eu diria coragem, persistencia e determinacao sao facetas de uma vida longa e saudavel.Grit: As mulheres parecem feitas de areia. Eles abriram caminho atraves dos tempos, em quase todas as facetas da vida. Ao mesmo tempo e em muitos paises ainda, as mulheres nao tem direitos. Neste pais, as mulheres no passado nao tinha o direito de voto, sem direito a educacao, e sem direitos no casamento. Com coragem e determinacao, eles libertaram-se e as suas possibilidades na America, nos temos uma melhor qualidade de vida para esse grao.Genetica: Muitas mulheres que vivem vidas longas e provir de familia com genes da longevidade. Isso significa que
eles tem maes ou avos que estavam em forma e saudavel em seus anos 90 atrasados. Genes da longevidade certeza nao doem, quando se olha para a saude e vida longa. Bons genes so pode ir tao longe. Se voce pegar bons genes e habitos de vida pouco saudaveis adicionar, voce ainda vai viver menos tempo. No fim das contas, e estilo e atitude que ir pelo caminho mais longo para a longevidade de vida.A idade e apenas um numero: Eu conheco varias mulheres idosas em seus 90 que podiam caminhar quilometros em torno de outros da sua idade, que estavam usando os caminhantes. Eles poderiam andar fora dos cuidadores na instalacao. Todos eles tinham que ninguem saia atitude. Eles eram pistolas e tao afiado quanto alguem 30 anos mais novo. Envelhecer nao tem que vir com os caminhantes, derrames e deficiencia mental. Pode ser a norma em nossa sociedade, mas isso pode ser mudado para melhor. A maioria de nos realmente deve examinar nossa vida, e adotar novas atitudes fisicas e mentais para viver a vida com entusiasmo e vitalidade.Referencias:http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/22/ida-keeling-95-year-old-woman-running-record_n_826541.htmlngm.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0511/feature1/index.htmlwww.secrets-of-longevity-in-humans.com/longevidade-science.org /My grandmother lived into the late 90s. I have taken care of many elderly women who were very physically fit and mentally sharp as well. They just needed some help for shopping and minor chores. One women could perform yoga poses, including standing on her head at 85 years old. I would be cooking her a meal, and there she would be standing on her head. She would offer to teach me. Another woman could out walk all the caregivers who had been hired to keep her company. These women were independent, feisty, active physically and in life. So what sets them apart from many other women who are in nursing homes? What are their secrets?Daily Exercise: All these women were physical active all their lives. This active lifestyle was continued into their older years. They walk every day, perhaps slower, but they walk. Many of them use a stationary bike which is safer for them or a treadmill. They lift weights to strengthen their muscles. They all still maintain an exercise program that is rigorous.Eating Lean: Women who live the longest, usually eat lean and from scratch. You will not find too many women who live into their nineties with health, that are obese. I have met a few older women that were really healthy and all were very trim. They had a life style of good diet and taking care of their health naturally. If they were on medications, it was only one or two. They believed in health as a daily life style.Maintaining a Healthy Weight: One of the lifestyle habits that help assure a long healthy life, is maintaining a healthy weight. That helps prevent diabetes and heart disease, that shorten life and the quality of life. It gives you the energy to participate in more physical activity. It it easier on legs and feet. Maintaining a healthy weight helps deflect bone and joint problems. Most all of the women I have known who were healthy, were
