Green Tea - Excellent for Mental and Physical Health

The Advantages of Following a Green Tea Diet by Eddie Lamb

As many of us are aware, the health benefits of green tea create something special that is above and beyond the ideology of just another great cup of tea. There are many advantages and benefits that you can receive from following a green tea diet, although it should be forewarned that green tea does contain caffeine. So, if you have conditions where caffeine might affect you in a negative way, or if you are pregnant, for instance, you should remember that it is incredibly important to consult with your physician before adding green tea into your regular diet.


What are the Advantages of a Green Tea Diet?

There are many advantages that you can receive from putting yourself on a green tea diet, such as the fact that a green tea diet can help you to fight off and even prevent Alzheimer's; a British study found that drinking green tea actually inhibited three important brain-battering chemicals, which are: acetylcholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase, and beta-secretase.

Basically what this means is that these are three chemical culprits that are associated with the breaking down of chemical messengers and forming plaques and protein deposits in the brain's gray matter, therefore being definite hindrances to crystal clear thinking.

As well, incorporating a green tea diet into your daily intake of consumables may also be helpful in warding off the flu, according to researchers across the world. This is because drinking green tea helps to stimulate those gamma-delta T cells that help to boost immunity against such viruses as the flu, and there is in fact a quite remarkable substance that is found in green tea that triggers those T cells to secrete that of a staggering 10 times their normal output of virus-battling interferon.

In fact, even gargling with green tea can help to coat the oral cavity's membranes with one of green tea's most potent components, which is that of catechins, and these are what successfully neutralize the vicious virus.

Green tea has also been shown to dramatically help in regards to weight loss, as recent studies have shown that a diet with green tea greatly increases metabolism and oxidizes fat as well, all the while without raising the heart rate. The heart-rate factor also merits incredible significance because increased heart rates can lead to adverse cardiac effects. Also, since there are only two basic ways to get rid of fat, which are decreasing food intake and increasing energy expenditure; this makes green tea a much-needed helper for those who are unable to do either successfully.

Visualization And Spiritual Transformation

The Full Blown Sensory Experience – Visualization is Your Best Friend by Damian Zyree

Why is it so important to visualize your manifestations ahead of time, with full sensory simulation? Because your subconscious mind will have a more complete set of pre programmed information to serve as instructions. The subconscious mind stores all your sensory information from all your five senses from the day you were born to today in it's memory banks. It will work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, scanning it's ever increasing memory banks and your outer environment for opportunities, leads, and ideas for attracting and manifesting your sensory stimulated visualizations

.

Your subconscious has the ability to create a workable plan for you, or assist you with your current plans, but it is critical for you to pre program in a complete sensory filled experience as emotionally and specifically as you can. When you firmly imagine or visualize a goal with all your senses, in due time, your subconscious mind "senses" anything associated with your desires attainment, making you consciously aware of them.

Repeating your visualizations as you would affirmations, communicates to your subconscious that it's still important to you and that it should continue to search for ways to attain your goal. A full blown sensory imagination is the best communication drawing you the the things you imagine.

It is hard to visualize and hold fast in your mind a billion dollars. But it is extremely easy to visualize the lifestyle and business of a billionaire. Imagine the kind of car that you would drive, the house that you would live in and the things that you could do with having lots of money. The more images of a wealthy lifestyle you have, the more intentions you are sending out for attracting wealth. It is like having ten intentions sent out to manifest compared to having only one. Be abundant with your thought power.

Physical Well Being - Nutrition - Water

"The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens." --Baha'u'llah

To be a whole person and to be in a total state of well being, means we must pay attention to the four parts of our being as described by the medicine wheel. If we wish to build a sustainable community, then we must be physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually fit.

One issue which we need to address is the amount of and the type of water that we drink on a daily basis. We are not drinking enough water. Studies have found that a large percentage of people in North America are suffering from various degrees of dehydration. Tap water is full of chlorine, fluorine, and heavy metals - all of these are very poisonous and build up in our bodies over a period of time.

We should be drinking spring water or distiled water that has been ozonated for optimum health benefits. We should be drinking about two liters of water per day. The following article explains why. Latest HEALTH NEWS from rss feeds. Please visit my NUTRITION GUIDE.

Title: Dehydration and Weight Loss

Author: Erwin Chua (MCP, MCDST)

Article:

About 70% of the Earth is composed of water. When you think about it, it's no surprise that the human body is composed of just as much water.

In order for the body to function optimally, the body must be kept properly hydrated. The presence of water in the body contributes to the overall health and vitality of the body.

Water is present in all bodily functions including: Regulating body temperature, Nutrition, Digestion, Elimination of waste, Circulation,Respiration, Absorption, Reproduction, Etc.

Having enough water then is essential to survival. A human body can survive on water alone for up to 10 days, but the opposite is critical, as the body can survive with no water for only 3 days, getting weaker and weaker until the body functions cease.

Which comes to the subject of dehydration. Dehydration is a condition that is present in all humans and is a serious concern for athletes. Dehydration is the condition by which there is an insufficient volume of water present in the body.


The effects of dehydration are subtle but cumulative.

Decrease in strength, endurance, and overall performance.

The body needs water to "lubricate" the body ability to deal with stress during use. Athletes with a lack of water get tired easily, and affect the athlete's ability to make judgments and concentration.

Proteins consumed are a diuretic. Protein require an above average amount of water to aid in digestion and breaking down into amino acids. The process also yields waste which must be flushed from the system.

Water aids in burning fat. The function of the kidney is to eliminate toxins from the body. One of the liver's functions is to burn fat. If there is insufficient water, the kidneys will tend to hold on to all the water it can. When this happens, waste will not eliminated. And the liver will try to help out the kidney, impairing the fat burning process.

How much is enough?

Conventional wisdom suggests that about 8-10 glasses of water (about 2 liters) is sufficient for the average consumer. For athletes and people with an active lifestyle they have to drink more than that.

Consume water before, during and after workouts. This will keep the body hydrated throughout a workout or routine and maintain optimal performance in the body.

Avoid alcohol. Alcohol puts fat burning activities of the body to a screeching halt. Drink electrolytes like Gatorade if you are drinking to offset the effects of alcohol hangover.

Liquid supplements must not replace real food. Supplements are present as an aid, not the main course since the body need solids to create the thermic effect in converting food.

Another Alternative To Help Build A Sustainable Community

Bamboo Clothing by Melanie Cath

Bamboo clothing is one of the newer types of organic clothing on offer. It looks and feels nothing like the bamboo plant, of course. Instead it has a lovely, silky texture that feels soft and comfortable against the skin. And you needn't worry that by purchasing bamboo clothing you could be taking food from the panda bear, because the bamboo that clothing is made from is another variety, not eaten by pandas at all

.

Moso bamboo – that is used for clothing - grows quickly, uses little water and needs no fertilizer so it is the ideal plant for saving the earth's resources. Compare this to cotton production that requires 29,000 litres of water to manufacture 1 kg of fabric - not to mention all the pesticides that are used.

Bamboo clothing is simply ideal for those with sensitive skins too. It has natural anti-bacterial properties, so that there is less odour when used for sports clothes. It is anti-fungal and hypoallergenic, so those with sensitive skins or anyone who is allergic can wear it with confidence. Bamboo fabric absorbs perspiration and wicks it away from your skin much better than cotton. Added to that, it absorbs 98% of ultra violet light from the sun, so it will certainly protect your body from harmful rays. The dyes used in bamboo clothing are vegetable dyes or low impact dyes that do not harm the skin or the environment.

Bamboo can be grown anywhere in the world using geodesic dome-within-dome green house technology. This would start an independent clothing industry in each community. This would be a great help to the environment and would create local employment. This would also create social and healing experiences for many members of the community. –Larry
