3 HIGHLY-TOXIC “healthy” ingredients you are eating EVERY DAY

Nutrition

Stuff like this keeps a Nutrition Nerd like me awake at night…

There are 3 ingredients that the FDA, the Government and even most doctors still consider “safe” or even “healthy”.

But in reality, and judging from the latest research…

…they are HIGHLY toxic to your body.

And yet, you probably consume them every single day.

Like this one chemical that’s added to the tap water of 60% of Americans, and that’s now linked to immune system destruction and thyroid suppression.

 

Fortunately, a great guy I met in Tampa last Year —
Anthony Alayon — has decided to expose these dangerous chemicals and educate the public on how dangerous they are.

 

There’s no better way to say it… if you care about your
health and those of people you love, then the article at the
link below is a MUST read:

 

==> 3 Highly Toxic Ingredients You Consume Every Day (Ditch them now)

 

We can chat later,

PS — I almost forgot.

Later, I’ll go deep into why the toxic ingredients Anthony
talks about in his research compilation called “101 Toxic
Food Ingredients” are considered “safe” by the FDA…

24 meals in 30 minutes………no more excuses

The A.L.I.V.E. CAFE

Peg Bracken of “I Hate To Cook” says it best

Some people are born to bake, boil, and lovingly tend to food, and they do it willingly. Then there are those among us who are born to burn, break, and destroy food–and would rather pull out our own wisdom teeth than have to cook a meal.”

That is why The Alive Experience came up with “24 Healthified recipes in 30 minutes or less”.

The emphasis is on simple, healthy, “cut as many corners and spend as little time in the kitchen as humanly possible” foods.

These recipes have not been tested by experts. But have been tested by clients, friends, and family. That is why they are valuable. Experts in their sunny spotless test kitchens can make anything taste good. But now YOU can make these healthy dishes taste good too.

I don’t know how many times a day I hear this excuse…

I DON’T HAVE TIME TO COOK

In this fast paced world we live in today, fathers and mothers no longer teach their children how to prepare their own foods – probably because they themselves do not know. People no longer want to take the time to learn to make and take pride in a meal they prepared themselves. Life has become so fast paced that we look for ready-made meals in a package. And as a whole, our nation is getting fatter and fatter and fatter.

Even so called “healthy meals” come ready made and microwaveable, with all that you need for a “low calorie” meal. As an added bonus, boxed meals are spiked with latest technological breakthroughs in preservatives and chemicals, so that the little box of frozen food can survive years in storage, until you buy and eat it. No wonder the number cancers constantly increase…

Is that what you want for your children? Is that what you want for YOURSELF?

Yes we live in a fast paced world, Yes being a parent, a businessman, or an athlete is time consuming… Are does valuable reasons to jeopardize your health? Absolutely not! If you have read this far, then I know that you are serious about healthy eating, that you know that if you want to get the results you are working so hard for that you have to start eating like you should!

This is for you…….

“24 Healthified recipes in 30 minutes or less”.

Now you can’t make ALL 24 recipes in 30 minutes, unless you have 24 people with you. But you can make a meal that you can be proud of being healthy and nutritious.

“24 Healthified recipes in 30 minutes or less”.

Wave At Your Haters

Weekly Motivation

Psalms 59
9.  Because of his strength I will watch for You,
For God is my stronghold.

As we push forward in our exercise goals, once in awhile you come across the one who I call the “hater”. The hater is the one who can see your making great gains in losing the weight or getting stronger and toner, looking better and feeling better, and then “BAM” they offer you a piece of cake, or dessert and after you say NO continue to taunt you and see if you will crack under peer pressure. And if you do crack under pressure, their face has such a joy of accomplishment for knocking you off your program.

Example 2: Putting on those skinny jeans or (muscle shirt) you have been working out to get into, and going out to meet them and instead of complimenting you on your accomplishment, the rest of the night it is a battle as to see who is the hottest person out there to get the attention.

Most of them will have an attitude, and people start paying attention to you, they’ll be the first to put your business in the street of what you USED to look like BEFORE you paid attention to your health… HATERS.

When you come across this person, DO NOT RUN, NO NO NO. Simply walk to your stuff, or pay your portion of the tab, Stand up, and place your hand next to your ear, cup it like you’ve won a beauty pageant, and wave. YES WAVE.

Wave at the past, as you continue to move forward. FORWARDS EVER BACKWARDS NEVER. Look at yourself, you feel better, look better, and in a greater health position then before.

WAVE, because they have shown you there lack of understanding accomplishment. WAVE as you go out the door, or move over to another group of friends and keep the party going. HATERS can only do two things for you 1) motivate you to keep moving forward toward your goal, or 2) dedicate even stronger to the goal you have at hand.

So WAVE AT YOUR HATERS, and keep moving forward in the “NEW YOU.”

5 Ways to Boost Productivity and Beat Stress

Save your blood, sweat, and tears. Corporate go-getters often flame out before going anywhere, but experts say sensible slackers can waltz to the top. Here’s how to ditch the worker-bee rules and adopt a stress-free, healthy, and productive lifestyle.

Old Rule: Quitters Never Win

New Rule: Losers Quit; Winners Cut Their Losses
Perseverance isn’t helpful if you’re digging a hole. Canadian researchers found that even when inventors are advised to give up on a hopeless project, 29 percent continue to invest money, and 51 percent continue to invest time. Seldman says to continuously reevaluate your projects to see if they’re worth the effort—or if the end goal is even possible. “Understand sunk costs,” he says. “Don’t get caught up in the investment you’ve already paid.”

Old Rule: Be There

New Rule: Play Hard to Get
Sure, e-mail is efficient, but researchers at the University of California at Irvine found that people take an average of 25 minutes to get back to business after a distraction. Total damage: Up to 2.1 wasted hours a day, another study found. “Be disciplined. Allow chunks of time uninterrupted by e-mail,” says Donald E. Wetmore, J.D., M.B.A., author of The Productivity Handbook. Attend to the inbox during low-energy points, saving high-energy times for more important jobs. If the boss really needs you, he’ll call.

Old Rule: Juggle like a Circus Clown, Baby!

New Rule: Multitasking Stalls Your System
Even though brain activity rises when you focus on multiple tasks, your performance suffers, according to researchers at Carnegie Mellon. “Avoiding distractions isn’t always possible, so you need to learn how to rapidly refocus,” says David Allen, the author of Getting Things Done and Making It All Work. Develop a system to jog your memory, such as jotting down new tasks (“Call Fred”), putting them aside, and staying focused on your current work.

Old Rule: Be Perfect

New Rule: Be Perfect Only When It Matters
Perfectionists who obsess over little details can sometimes miss the things that count the most. For example, 37 percent of workers blamed such exacting tendencies for missed deadlines, according to one study presented in 2003. So be smarter. Seldman recommends identifying tasks you can do without fine-tuning, and spending most of your time on everything else. When you realize your less-than-perfect work is just fine, your agony will abate.

Old Rule: Hustle Hard

New Rule: Underpromise, Overdeliver
“You have only one time when you can manage expectations, and that’s in the beginning,” says Marty Seldman, Ph.D., coauthor of Executive Stamina. So set yourself up for success. If you can do a job in 3 days, say you’ll do it in 5—and then take time to add special finishing touches before turning it in “early.” It’s an easy way to impress: University of Florida researchers found that people are much happier about unexpected positive results than they are about predictable ones.
