As for me, I am going to start incorporating more raw food into my diet. And 30% raw seems doable right now. Who knows where I would be in a year or so. Maybe it’ll stay the same or I might go 50% or 70% or 90%? (I hope.) I just know the thought of giving up charcoal barbecue chicken and my vegetable stew is not an option right at this moment. I can’t trade it in just yet. But perhaps one day, what I am going to reap from a raw diet will convince me to change my way.

Changes are uncomfortable. I mean—all our life we live a certain way and to expect yourself to suddenly jump onto a new bandwagon isn’t easy. New habits take time to build and adjust into. Sometimes we fall off, sometimes we need support to put us right back on the ride. Sometimes we just got to experience the pain and agony to really convince us that feeling better, lighter, healthier, and more energetic is way better than a burger or a pizza. Instant gratification. In my case, vegetable stew and BBQ chicken. Yum!

Honestly, I don’t know. Where this adventure will take me but I am hoping for the best! There’s enough social proof to say there’s something miraculous about this raw diet, and I just can’t let my doubts stop me. I have to go on the ride and test it for myself.

Eat for Nutrition or Entertainment? (Part 2 of 3)

Extraordinary results gain simply by changing our lifestyle to a healthier alternative that takes care and appreciates our given vessel on this earth –our body. The more we take care of our body and nourish it, the better we feel, the more energy we have, the better our life!

We probably take better care of our car than we do of our physical body. For instance, we always check if we are putting lead or unleaded fuel into our vehicle. But do we stop to think –am I putting junk or fuel efficient nourishment for my own engine! See, we all do that at one time or another. It’s easy to be tempted and seduced by the scent of freshly fried or cooked food and them fresh off the grill steaks.

It’s very addictive. I get it. In fact, I am still eating it. I’m not saying go 100% RAW now. Just simply start incorporating more raw food into your diet and check how you feel. Then begin to slowly eliminate the food that has little nutritional value or that actually does more harm than good for our body like sugar, alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, soda, junk food, fast food, processed food, packaged food, and eventually diary, meat, and cooked food. Go at your own pace, and continue educating yourself about your body and nutrition. The more we know, the better we can take care of our body, mind, and spirit.

Test drive it yourself. Maybe this raw thing will work for you? If not, then fine. Not all paths are right for every individual. Find your own road and see what feels right to you.

Eat for Nutrition or Entertainment? (Part 3 of 3)

Eat for Nutrition or Entertainment? (Part 1 of 3)

Is going 100% raw the answer to all our problem? The documentary I watched, Raw for Life – The Ultimate Encyclopedia of the Raw Food Lifestyle certainly had enough raw enthusiasts routing for it. Yes, you might be thinking this is totally bias. They are mostly raw lovers and advocates. That’s true. But what about those who weren’t and then went raw and gain tons of health benefits.

For example, in Simply Raw: Reversing Diabetes in 30 Days 6 diabetics volunteer to go on an organic raw retreat camp at Tree of Life centre in Arizona. They ate nothing but raw organic greens and fruits for 30 days straight in order to reverse disease without pharmaceutical medication. And what about Angela Stokes’ story; how she overcome her uncontrollable overeating and went from 279 pounds to 138 pounds and gain improvements in her health.

Then there’s Morgan Spurlock. You might remember him from the documentary film Super Size Me where he attempted to demonstrate the negative health effects of McDonald’s food by eating nothing but McDonalds three times a day, every day, for a whole month. After his 30 day McDonald’s diet, Morgan was put on a vegan detox diet by his wife, Alex. All caffeine, sugar, processed food were cut out and he essentially went cold turkey for 8 straight week. He said he went on a massive withdrawal like a drug addict. And was shaking. This lasted 3 days. Until his body finally detoxify the toxinicity levels. His body was able to reverse those created health issues from those fast food consumption.

Don’t these results speak for itself?

I know each individual is different and their body adapts differently, but essentially all human bodies are made to have a healing mechanism, right? Just like some of the experts explained in the documentary, that our body wants to heal itself –and if given the chance and the nutrition our body craves, then it pushes the toxic junk out of our system and replace it with more vital resources that repair and rejuvenate our cells. That’s why out of the six volunteers, those that weren’t seduced by their negative thoughts, discomforts, and temptations made it to the finish line with a new healthier body. They decreased their medication dosages or were no longer on insulin –some even became free from diabetes and fatigue!

Found these interesting money tips from Brian Tracy.

How to change your spending habits so you could start saving money today.

The Law of Saving
By: Brian Tracy

Financial freedom comes to the person who saves ten percent or more of his income throughout his lifetime.

One of the smartest things that you can ever do for yourself is to develop the habit of saving part of your salary, every single paycheck. Individuals, families and even societies are stable and prosperous to the degree to which they have high savings rates. Savings today are what guarantee the security and the possibilities of tomorrow.

Start With Yourself
The first corollary of the Law of Saving comes from the book The Richest Man in Babylon by George Clason. It is to “Pay yourself first.”

Begin today to save ten percent of your earnings, off the top, and never touch it. This is your fund for long-term financial accumulation and you never use it for any other reason except to assure your financial future.

Develop New Habits Regarding Money
The remarkable thing is that when you pay yourself first, and force yourself to live on the other ninety percent, you will soon become accustomed to it. You are a creature of habit. When you regularly put away ten percent of your earnings, you soon become comfortable living on the other ninety percent. Many people start by saving ten percent of their income and then graduate to saving fifteen percent, twenty percent, and even more. And their financial lives change dramatically as a result. So will yours.

Take Every Advantage
The second corollary of the Law of Saving says, “Take advantage of tax deferred savings and investment plans.” Because of high and even multiple tax rates, money that is saved or invested without being taxed accumulates at a rate of 30% to 40% faster than money that is subject to taxation. Self-made millionaires, according to Dr Thomas Stanley’s book The Millionaire Next Door, are almost obsessive about accumulating their funds in assets such as real estate, self owned businesses and equities that increase in value without triggering tax liabilities.

Invest in company pension and retirement plans, 401(k) plans, IRA’s, Keough Plans, Roth IRA’s, Education Investment Accounts, stock option programs and whatever else has been approved by the IRS for long term financial accumulation. Make every dollar count!

Action Exercises
Here are two things you can do to apply this law immediately:

First, begin today to put away ten percent of your earnings. Set up a special account for this purpose and treat your contributions to this account with the same respect that you do your rent or mortgage payments each month.

Second, become a lifelong student of money. Read the best books, take courses and subscribe to the most helpful magazines. Know what you are doing so you can always make intelligent decisions when you invest your funds.

How Can You Attract More Wealth and Abundance?
We are now surrounded by more wealth than at any time in our history. The real question is how do YOU gain this abundance? Become a money magnet, immediately increase your income and learn wealth building secrets. Get the knowledge you need to make your financial future an outstanding one.

‘How to fake a six pack’ is a funny video from Natalie of CommunityChannel on youtube. She is currently number one youtuber in Australia.

This is SARCASM PEOPLE. THIS IS A VIDEO RESPONSE AND IS A JOKE from Natalie.

I thought it is hilarious. Watched it a few time and showed it to a few people. What a sense of humor.

Enjoy! =D

The best thing I learned from Mike Geary was how you can maximize your cardio exercise.

You simply do your jog in spurt! It means instead of doing 30 to 45 minutes of straight jogging, you could do a 15 minute jog instead. You do what the professional sprint runners do. You can get similar workout they get.

You simply start out jogging for 2 minute then switch to a 2 minute fast pace, hard running. Then you go down to 2 minute of regular jogging. Then you switch back up to a sprint for 2 minute. Then you walk or/and jog for 2 minute and go right back up doing a quick sprint for 2 more minute and finish the run with a 3 minute jog then walk.

It’s interval training. This will really work you out instead of lollygagging around and not really getting the most out of your jog. Now who doesn’t want to do a 15 minute run and reap the same benefit!

I love how Mike Geary compare this running technique between a sprint runner and a marathon runner. How the sprint runner’s muscle is well defined and how the marathon runner looks scrawny and starved. Apart from this, he has many more exercise and more exclusive information about how to really exercise and get the most out of it than just wasting time at the gym thinking you are doing the workout but never seeing the results. Or worse you end up unmotivated or even quit before any body result is apparent!

Read my The Truth About Abs Review

You know what is plastered all over the internet? The Truth About Abs ads. Everywhere I surf, there it was; on youtube, on facebook, on yahoo, on my gmail, and on health sites that I visit…the lists goes on and on. Got me curious, what the heck is this truth that I don’t know? Is there a way I can tighten my abs more easily than what I am already doing? Maybe, this Truth About Abs got the answer.

Luckily, a friend of mine had it so I just read his e-book. I like the different exercises that show how to work out my whole mid-section. The e-book was packed with lots of abdominal exercises that really work the abs hard. These are intermediate to mostly advance ab exercise that will really get you to work your tummy area. These ab workouts are tough! I use it at the gym and can not belief it, I did a few of them and I almost passed out. Unlike my regular sit ups where my feet are locked into the ab exercise machine–those I could do a max of 120 situps before getting exhausted. Guess I have a weaker ab than I thought.

This guy knows his stuff and got a ton of great information. However, I wish he included more pictures in there showing all the exercise moves because I am not a hardcore exercise fanatic (just yet) who knows all the name of the exercises and what or how to do them exactly. I am a visual learner and the written description just would not do it for me. I need the pictures from start, middle to end for ALL the exercises he is talking about. But if you are a quick learner and pick up things easily, then this e-book could be for you.

This book is more tailor towards intermediate or advance workout oriented people who already know their stuff but just need a few adjustments here and there to fine tune their workout. If you are a beginner or need a lot of help, I think you would need this book and a knowledgeable person there to correct your postures. Mike Geary, the author of this book, could have included more photos–maybe even a DVD demonstrating the workout.

Honestly, I think if you are more of a visual learner like me, your money can be better spent elsewhere. Get an easier ‘how to exercise at the gym’ book where all strength training exercises are drawn out, or where the book is 70 percent pictures. Pictures are worth a thousand words. And for workout demonstration –pictures are the best teachers.

Cool breathing demo tip from Rose Cole. In this video, Rose shows you how to do a proper alternate nostril breathing. Supposedly, it can also help you loose weight.

Love this breathing technique. I remember using it in some of my yoga classes. One yoga  instructor was especially adamant about it. She said it helps you sink into the meditation state quickly, brings more awareness, and that you get more out of your yoga practice just by implementing this alternate nostril breathing.

I have to agree with my yoga instructor, Maria, about this bringing more awareness –because by doing this practice my senses felt more keen. I also can understand adding this breath work to other exercises like yoga, tai chi, and other compatible exercising techniques, etc can enhance our weight loss and body toning abilities, but about losing weight solely base on this breathing technique –that’s questionable.
