Vegetarian Means Vegan, Right?

Actually vegetarians tend to differ from what Vegans consider themselves to be. The exact reasons for why, evade me at the moment.

I eat plenty of vegetables but also enjoy eggs so I think this means I may be a vegetarian but I am not a vegan because eggs are not on their menu. I need to watch my calories and weight.

Veganism, if I may, seems to be more like a religion than just a healthy eating regime. I think the term is applied to not only eggs but even to wearing things that may have once been alive, like leather.

I have no feelings on this one way or another and think our life choices are just that, our life choices.

Hypnosis Stimulates Fast Weight Loss

By Robert Hudak

Many of us deeply indulge in the monotonous daily routine; often overlook our health and appearance. What makes matters worse is a lot of us cannot discriminate between good food and inappropriate food. The end result, you start gaining weight. This process eliminates your ability for fast weight loss. This behavior is bad for your health and adversely affects your personality.

Most people who are over weight are eager to get it off so they are willing to count calories and following tough diet plans. On the quest for fast weight loss some people resort to unsafe weight loss supplements and surgery. While some of theses people may experience success, they are still in need of a major lifestyle change and need to alter the way they eat.

While it might seem like a brilliant master plan to take a pill or have a little surgery to end a lifetime of weight problems, it is not that simple. If you want to experience fast weight loss, then try hypnosis. Not only has hypnosis been in existence for thousands of years, it is also a very effectual tool. Hypnosis aids people to use their minds and gain control of their bodies.

The most important step in losing weight is to accept the fact that you have a problem and it must be remedied. A lot of people live in denial and make belief that one day they will magically lose all their weight. If you want to experience fast weight loss then it is time to have your subconscious mind programmed to begin creating the life that you want and deserve.

You can experience fast weight loss and hypnosis is the most effective way to reach your goal. Most people underestimate the power of hypnosis in the area of weight loss and diet control. Change your mind and the rest will follow. A lot of times it has nothing to do with what you are eating but what is eating you.

While in hypnosis you can be given suggestions that you can be given suggestions that you lose your desire for sugar and inappropriate foods. That water is becoming your drink of choice. You can also be programmed for fast weight loss and that it is easy and fun. This process will make losing weight something your body really enjoys.

Given suggestions while in hypnosis can have a lasting effect and there is no limit as to what can be accomplished through ongoing programming. Suggestions that are not reinforced have a tendency to weaken after four days. To prevent this from happening and experience fast weight loss, reinforce a new behavior on a daily basis. This can be achieved by listening to a hypnosis CD everyday.

When you are in the state of hypnosis, you will experience a deep relaxation. Thirty minutes of hypnosis is equivalent to natural sleep. This makes it easy for your mind to be programmed for fast weight loss even when you are asleep, therefore allowing your mind and body to work together and create the exact body that you dream of.

The success with hypnosis is achieved by listening to a hypnosis CD daily. Ongoing reinforcement can strengthen weak habits and completely illuminate the desire for inappropriate foods. This process will give you the will power, discipline, and self control you will need to achieve fast weight loss.

Balanced Choices Are Keys to Good Health and Longevity

By Jamie G. Phillips, DC

Does it seem to you that no matter where we look nowadays, there are news stories and advertisements, alike, promoting the stunning research on innumerable exotic supplements, not to mention the cutting-edge health claims of coffee and red wine that, in one way or another, promise to reduce or eliminate all causes of mortality? It would almost seem, in fact, that a quest for immortality has replaced our search for longevity!

To start with, let me make it super clear that I unwaveringly believe that certain~particular things that we put into our bodies can be beneficial to our health. Therefore, I'm absolutely not against taking supplements. Not only do I recommend them to my patients, but I listen to my own advice and take them as well. Secondly, if confession is good for the soul, and red wine is good for the heart, then I'd like to take this opportunity to help both by stating for the record that I appreciate drinking a glass of red wine. The suggestion that it might have heart-healthy properties, well, that's like icing on the cake, so to speak. And, lastly, as far as caffeine's ability to actually reverse or prevent Alzheimer's disease goes, I believe that if that were commonly the case, life would be far less frightening and far more enjoyable for many people and their families.

Let's take a deep breath and reflect on a few of facts, however, prior to your deciding to add more caffeine to your morning grind, increase the red wine you may drink in the evening, or before you consider selling the family heirlooms in order to afford high-priced minerals and herbs that promise to extend your life indefinitely.

Let us think about the fact, for example, that we have not been locked up in a cage all of our life, and none of us has been altered, by unnatural means, to acquire the age-related diseases that lab animals do, enfeeblement that is then "reversed" by resveratrol, caffeine, or some exotic mineral or plant. We are dynamic, biological beings, free to fully engage with life.

In addition, our being dynamic and biological means that we are not "robots," and that we are more than the sum total of our parts. We are each biologically unique in certain ways, that is, we respond differently to internal stimulating factors and external instigating influences. For example, though generally, smoking cigarettes is harmful, there is a small minority of people who appear to be able to smoke and live to be ninety years old without any obvious ill effects.

The results upon which scientific research and testing are rely upon the isolation of a particular variable. It is this method that gives scientific inquiry its legitimacy. However, since tests related to human health issues occur through this very method, and are most often done on lab animals, when it comes to human beings, the effects are very likely to be quite different. In fact, to paraphrase Abraham Lincoln, what might benefit some of the people all of the time, most likely won't work for all of the people all of the time (and sometimes won't work at all!).

Everyday you make considerable choices that affect both your health and longevity. Decisions such as what you'll eat and how much exercise and rest you'll get will either be good for you, or not so good. Obviously, your unhealthy choices are not beneficial for your long-term health. And, even though you know, by the way your individual body responds to certain things, you may often ignore these important health messages.

Then, a study comes along that hails the discovery of THE THING that has the efficacy to reverse all of the immoderate and unhealthy things you may have been doing to your body through unhealthy choices, and you, like many others, may be ready to take double and triples doses of whatever it is! This kind of "hope" is, unfortunately, a subtle illusion.

Your human body is an elegantly complex, homeostatic system. In other words, every operation is interdependent and sensitively balanced. When you choose an unhealthy lifestyle, your fastidiously-responsive system gets "off balance." Sooner or later, the imbalances created by choosing unhealthily, result in diseases and a shortened lifespan.

As a chiropractor who supplements daily, I suggest that you supplement, too, if they help you to feel vigorously healthy. I agree, as well, that if it feels like the thing to do, an extra cup of coffee might actually be personally beneficial for you. And, if it truly feels healthy, have a little more red wine. Just keep in mind, however, that the only authentic way that you can prevent or reverse age-related health problems is by changing an unhealthy lifestyle. You won't become healthier or live longer by waiting for the discovery of a "magic potion.

What about Noni?

By Frank Smith

The scientific name of noni is morinda citrifolia and more commonly as Tahitian noni, beach mulberry, Indian mulberry, or great morinda, among others. The tree on which the noni fruit grows is native to Southeast Asia, but has been spread extensively through Pacific Islands.

The noni plant produces fruit all year around. The fruit begins out green, but matures to a yellow or almost clear color. The pungent odor of the ripened fruit gives rise to the less than appealing name such as "cheese fruit". The noni is a hardy plant capable of growing in a wide variety of habitats.

Recently an overzealous promotion has led to a similar range of claims. One website claimed that noni juice benefits and uses include inhibiting "pre-cancer function and growth of cancer tumors!" On the same website, a man claimed that after only three weeks of drinking noni, his arthritis was gone and he was no longer impotent.

So what is the truth about natural noni juice?

What is the nutritional content of Noni Juice - What is in noni? What are the vitamin, minerals, and antioxidants that make it so beneficial? Does it have an ORAC score?

Noni Juice benefits and uses - You've heard the claims, but what can you really expect? Can it reduce cholesterol? Are there any side effects that you should be aware of? What scientific research has been done?

Noni Juice products - How do you choose which juice to buy? What should you look for in a quality product? Does it matter whether the fruit comes from Samoa, Fiji, Hawaii, or French Polynesia? Does the processing method matter?

How much to pay? Does price always equal quality? What would a fair price be for a quality product? Has it been diluted or reconstituted with water?
