Got a minute?

That’s all I need to share my first of many video-based 1-minute fatloss tips.

Go here for the first of many….

click—–> How To Eat Your Favorite Foods And Drop Bodyfat

My new design is something to see too.

I have my weekly live 1-minute video, tons of new features… even a “diet quiz” if you care to test your fatloss knowledge.

Plus my main presentation: “1 Tip To A Flat Belly!”

Just don’t laugh at my ballcap/unshaven look in the video… I wanted this to be super-casual, but I may have taken it a bit too far… ; )

Oh… speaking of a flat belly… I’d like to give you yet another reason to eat and workout the way I suggest in “Every Other Day Diet” and “7 Minute Body”…

I had to go to the hospital last week. No worries… I’m fine… just a bit of a scare. Definitely enough to wake you up from walking through life like it will never end! But fortunately for me, only a scare.

Anyway, the doctors in the hospital were amazed when they looked at my heart and lungs (they had to make sure I did not have any infection… and I didn’t.)

“Most 46-year-olds do not have these around their heart,” the doctor said as he showed me the pictures they took. You could see all these vessels around the heart and branching off the main arteries.

“Peripheral vessels… they were formed by your exercise program. Well-done! These help keep your heart strong and healthy.”

Every doc that listened to my heart said, “Wow… strong heart!”

Indeed… resistance training makes it so.

Before I left, after the scare went away, I asked the doctor his opinion on my dietary plan. “Well, obviously you are very lean and in fantastic shape for a man of any age.”

Thanks doc, but I wasn’t fishing for a compliment! Since this was a heart doctor I was curious as to his thoughts.

“If you had heart disease, or if you want to prevent it, this is the exact dietary plan I would recommend.”

While I expected to hear this, it was still music to my ears.

So, my higher-than-normal dietary fat and protein, lower-carb, and relatively frequent “fun food” dietplan is “ideal” to combat heart disease according to the good doc. And according to my family doctor.

Nice to know.

H2-AHH?

Water is a restorative element that’s been used for centuries to quell physical and emotional distress. In water we are gleeful escapees from gravity’s unrelenting pressure. It’s no wonder that spas throughout the world have picked up on the resource’s healing powers.

“Aqua therapy promotes relaxation in a number of ways. The buoyancy effect of the water allows muscles to relax, the warm massage action of hydrotherapy soothes the nervous system and the body responds to being immersed in a comforting environment,” says Jackie McAtee of the Aqua Spa at Shoal Bay Resort & Spa in Australia.

Shoal Bay Resort merges the twin luxuries of aqua therapy and aesthetics and counts their Lime & Ginger Salt Glow with Vichy shower (which incorporates eight shower heads that can be adjusted to suit water pressure preference) as one of their most popular services.

In water, we are able to more easily surrender control of our bodies and our minds.

Time Management and Your Life

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 05:00:00 +0000

1. Think of goals and aims as necessary achievements. In achieving your desired goals, you should start with a positive outlook. You must be excited with the challenges and tasks that you have to do to give you the right start or motivation. However, you should also see the path towards your goals in concrete terms. These achievements or aims can be reached by becoming realistic and by knowing your directions. Think of the scenarios of success but you should also recognize the fact that these roads have to be traversed in a given time. This way, you are not only looking at the possibility of success, but you are also giving yourself the right motivation and the proper time to prepare for a fresh start and achieve your goals at the soonest possible time.

2. Think of the time frame in achieving goals and aims. You are to do a task at a particular time. As you begin planning your strategies, you must also look forward and recognize your time frames in doing such tasks. Time frames are

How To Increase The Level of Happiness

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 05:00:00 +0000

Between our physical and mental being, the mind has the greater influence for most of us. The body, once it is well-taken cared of and sustained with basic necessities in life, can easily function. However, the mind automatically records every event, no matter how trivial. Therefore, we must be on guard with what is recorded in our mind because it can have an effect on our levels of happiness.

Marcus Aurelius cautions us, “The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature.”

Inner peace greatly comes from having love and compassion in our life. The more we feel loved and the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. We have peace of mind if we do not have enemies. This helps remove our fears and insecurities, and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we may encounter.

As long as we live i

Short Story

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 05:00:00 +0000

Little old ladies don’t always start out that way. Over time and as we age, the architecture of our spines succumbs to wear and tear. The vertebrae, the interlocking bones that support the spine, begin to thin and the fluid-rich spaces between the vertebrae dehydrate and become stiff.

“Height loss is due to the space between the vertebrae shrinking, or the vertebrae getting crushed down?If a person is losing height, it means that they are aging,” offers Dr. Tyler C. Cymet, an osteopathic physician and assistant professor of internal medicine at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine in Baltimore, Maryland.

While losing a few millimeters a year is natural, it can result in unpleasant and even painful complications in our daily lives.

“When the body changes and we lose height, other problems follow. Our body mechanics can change and it can be more difficult to do the same activities we did before. It can change our walking pattern, affect how far we can bend or twist, and the risks

Getting to Know Anxiety and Panic

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 05:00:00 +0000

A feeling that you might have forgotten to turn off an appliance before leaving the house.
A feeling that you might have left something behind on the last place you’ve been.
The bothersome thought that you might have annoyed someone whom is the least person you want to displease.

These feelings can bring about panic/anxiety in a person. All of us have somehow experienced anxiety one way or the other, in more instances than one, and at different levels. These experiences make us all familiar with what anxiety is. Aside from what we know about it, there could be some facts about anxiety we may not be familiar or aware of.

Simply put, anxiety is the feeling of uneasiness, discomfort, or fear of what may eventually happen resulting from perceived, real, or imagined threat or condition. Panic attacks, on the other hand, are actually heightened anxiety.

Two distinct symptoms become obvious during a panic or anxiety attack: physical and emotional.

Physical Symptoms include:

Been There, Done That

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 05:00:00 +0000

Most of us have experienced it-the fleeting, slightly spooky moment when the present, suddenly strangely familiar, feels like something we remember from the past.

It’s called déjà vu, which is French for ‘already seen,’ and despite the almost universal nature of this quirky memory glitch, its true nature has been remarkably resistant to research, analysis or understanding.

Century-old theories are still in circulation, offering various explanations including the contradictory ideas that fatigue or being well-rested may disrupt the way we process sensation and perception.

Déjà vu is also associated with some psychiatric disorders and temporal lobe epilepsy.

“Our view is that déjà vu is caused by disruptions to brain functioning in the temporal lobe, the area of the brain behind the ears. We know this area to be important for memory function, and our view is that déjà vu is just a brief memory error. The exciting thing about déjà vu is that it is the result of two opposing

Rekindle The Flame in Your Relationship

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 05:00:00 +0000

During dating, behavior is at its best. Both parties exert the effort to make sure that everything goes well. There are times that the needs of your date comes first before your own. You slowly build a feeling that you are somehow special to him or her. You’re always together.

“Man is not the creature of circumstances. Circumstances are the creature of man.”?Benjamin Disraeli

Can you remember the dates you had with your spouse? Let’s go back in time …

As the dating itself progressed for longer periods of time, you began to unravel the mystery in that special someone. You have learned more about him or her. Without noticing it, your feelings for him or her grew deeper. You also noticed that you really wanted to spend more time together. Nothing matters except the two of you being together. Every decision that you made revolved around that person. He or she has become your universe.

All these good feeling made a good impact on you. You’re always on cloud nine. You’re al

Where Have All The Nutrients Gone?

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 05:00:00 +0000

Why do we have such dreaded life-threatening diseases today that were unheard of in earlier times? One of the oldest and authoritative books on life, the Bible, records people living to almost a thousand years-with no illnesses whatsoever. Even from the days of our grandfathers and great grandfathers, we hear stories of amazing physical feats of health and longevity. People from “those days” live incredibly simple but very happy lives, the kind that many of us today would like to go back to. What happened to all these?

Consider the following reasons and know what caused them:

1. SOIL DEPLETION

Let us start from the very beginning. It all begins from food existing as a seed until it grows and bears fruit. The onslaught of soil depletion and erosion reduces the nutrients that plants get from the soil. Plant crops can only be as nutritious as the soil is rich in nutrients. Bad soil cannot equate to good crops. Over the years, especially when global commercialism intensified, the

Bodybuilding: Can You Do It?

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 05:00:00 +0000

Many people embark in this crusade of developing the muscles, but few realize the magnitude of work and discipline involved. A lot plunge headlong into purchasing the latest gadgets and machines in body sculpturing, only to give up too soon. Their gym equipment and gadgets later become historical artifacts of their past whim.

Before you buy anything, ask yourself first if you really want to do this thing. Muscles do not grow just because you have the equipment. This sounds absurd, but many people seem to think this way. They buy all sorts of equipment, do little or nothing at all, and then wonder why their muscles are not developing. Be firm in your decision to develop a stunning physique, and never be discouraged when it takes a long time for those shapely muscles to emerge.

You must understand that bodybuilding is a discipline, like a profession or career. You do not become a doctor or an engineer overnight, or even after a year. Likewise, you do not stop studying just becaus
