A Brigham Young University study found that a combination of just 30 minutes of cardio exercise a day along with a switch to healthier nutritional intake dropped the participants’ health risks for:
# diabetes
# cancer
# and heart disease dramatically in just 6 weeks!
Now this may not be ground breaking news to you, but are you actually exercising and eating right? Once again food for thought - and time for action!

Three tips to help you decide what to eat...
There are three guidelines given by natural hygienist Roz Gruben and raw food coach Roger Haeske on how to choose what to eat:
- You should be able to gather it without weapons.
- You shouldn't have to wear any clothing or protective gear to
gather it. (Forget honey)
- You should be able to make a whole meal of the food - Garlic alone not included!
This will make our nutritional intake as close to that of our earliest ancestors as presently possible, enabling us to live healthier, longer lives - as part of an all round healthy lifestyle approach of course. There will be less illness - obesity, diabetes, heart disease, hypertension cancer etc. Nothing radically new here - but how many of us are actually seeking to live in this manner? Food - pardon the pun - for thought!

85% of Adult Cancers are Entirely Avoidable........
.....That is the mind boggling assertion from WHO- yes the World Health Organisation, no less. But of course, they have the research to back it up. In addition, fifty per cent of these adult cancers can be related to nutritional deficiencies in the food intake of the so called developed world. The bottom line - the pandemic of adult cancer world wide but especially in the developed world can be markedly reduced by a radical rethink in our nutritional intake. To a lot of people, this is not news. But to a larger body of people, it is. For both camps however, the informed nutritional data is relatively thin on the ground. Hopefully, I will weigh in my own small way with whatever knowledge I have accumulated. As always, feedback and sharing of information are welcome.

Danger of Bottled Water in the Car..........
This is an important safety tip in circulation, sent to me by my brother in law - I am reproducing it in it's entirety. Some of you may have seen it elsewhere already, some have not. But it is too important to miss out on, so it's better to play safe.
Please send it on!!!!
Bottled water in your car is very dangerous!
On the Ellen show, Sheryl Crow said that this is what caused her breast cancer. It has been identified as the most common cause of the high levels of dioxin in breast cancer tissue.
Sheryl Crow's oncologist told her: women should not drink bottled water that has been left in a car. The heat reacts with the chemicals in the plastic of the bottle which releases dioxin into the water. Dioxin is a toxin increasingly found in breast cancer tissue. So please be careful and do not drink bottled water that has been left in a car.
Pass this on to all the women in your life. This information is the kind we need to know that just might save us! Use a stainless steel canteen or a glass bottle instead of plastic!
LET EVERYONE WHO HAS A WIFE / GIRLFRIEND / DAUGHTER KNOW PLEASE!
This information is also being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center:
No plastic containers in microwave. No water bottles in freezer. No plastic wrap in microwave.
A dioxin chemical causes cancer, especially breast cancer..Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Edward Fujimoto , Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard.
He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers...This especially applies to foods that contain fat.
He said that the combination of fat, high heat and plastic releases dioxin into the body.
Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So, such things as TV dinners, instant soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.
Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc..
He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons...
Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran wrap or Cling film, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

Why you should avoid synthetic HRT......
There are two reasons I shall give in this article:
Firstly,researchers discovered that patients with breast cancer seemed to double their risk from dying from the disease.
Then a team of researchers from Oxford University published an extensive, large scale study involving 129,000 post menopausal women, examining nine years of medical records. They reported a significantly increased risk of ovarian cancer among women who used oestrogen only HRT for more than five years. Now cancer is not an illness anyone needs, but ovarian cancer is particularly nasty. It is difficult to detect, usually displays symptoms late and is challenging to treat. The best policy is prevention. So anything that increases the risk should be avoided. There are natural sources of hormone replacement when the need arises. I will discuss these soon. But remember - avoid synthetic HRT.

Sugary soft drinks linked to high blood pressure
Over two thousand five hundred peoople in the UK and USA were involved in this study on the effects of sugery soft drinks on the body. More details can be found here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-12597970
This study, though relatively small, is a good start. No doubt, more studies will follow. The findings show even after adjustment - see the article - that there is a link between intake of these drinks and increase in both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Personally, I have stopped taking these drinks - including manufactured fruit drinks some months ago. My personal research led me to do so. I do not miss them at all - neither will you. In fact, my waistline is much the better for it. So if you want yours to reduce, cut sugery drinks out entirely - you will not regret it.
