Earth Hour

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million homes and businesses turned their lights off for one hour to make their stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries participating.

On Saturday, March 27, 2010 at 8:30pm, lets participate and support this cause. LifeStyle Living involves an array of activities and supporting the Earth (our home) is vitally important. Yes, we all want to be happy, healthy and wealthy, but without a sustainable environment, what is the use? What's the point? The choices we make everyday is domino effect that will lead towards good things or bad. Personally, I want good things for myself and my close friends & family. I am sure you want the same as well. So Let's DO THIS!

Napoleon Hill: Six Ways To Turn Desires Into Gold

First : fix in your mind the exact amount of money you desire. It is not sufficient merely to say “I want plenty of money.” Be definite as to the amount.

Second : determine exactly what you intend to give in return for the money you desire. (There is no such reality as “something for nothing.”)

Third : establish a definite date when you intend to possess the money you desire.

Fourth : create a definite plan for carrying out your desire, and begin at once, whether you are ready or not, to put this plan into action.

Fifth : write out a clear, concise statement of the amount of money you intend to acquire, name the time limit for its acquisition, state what you intend to give in return for the money, and describe clearly the plan through which you intend to accumulate it.

Sixth : read your written statement aloud, twice daily, once just before retiring at night, and once after arising in the morning. As you read —see and feel and believe yourself already in possession of the money.

Everyday, sit down and decide each year exactly how much money you want to make. Then, decide exactly what you would give in exchange for that amount of money. Then, make a written statement as described above, mounted it on a piece of cardboard, and placed it by your bed. Read your statement aloud first thing every morning and last thing every evening before you go to sleep. Closed your eyes, relaxed, and visualized my desired results in as much detail as possible. See yourself doing the work you plan to do and receiving the fair payment you described for yourself. Imagine having the money in your hands and putting it into your bank account.

Every year, rewrite your statement, raised your goal, reevaluated what you would give in exchange for the money, and continued.

Whatever the mind of man

Can conceive and believe

It can achieve.

Fat-loss vs. Weight-loss

Let's get this straight!  Our total weight is made up of fat, muscle, bones, organs ect.  Muscle takes up less space, but its much more heavier than fat.  Fat takes up a lot of space and quite frankly, we don't want any.  Though, we do need a healthy amount of fat, but we sill want to fit in the cloths we wear and the size we want.

It's not about weight-loss folks: It's about fat-loss.  Our success should be measured by the inches we loose, not the pounds we loose.  The pounds we loose in a typical diet is 50% fat and 50% muscle.  We want lean muscle.  We want the muscle.  We want to be toned.  Right?  We just don't want fat, and what we really want is to look good!  Looking good in the cloths we wear and looking fantastic naked!

Diet and exercise is fantastic in getting back to shape.  Eating the right calories (it's not about eating less, but eating the good calories:  eating right!).  A good form of exercising is going to the gym, yoga, pilates, walking!  You know, taking walks with your mate or spouse is not only good for your energy & waist-line, but good for your relationship.

Additional support may be needed also, but watch out for colon cleanses disguised as true weight-loss products, and watch out for dehydrating drugs.  Go natural why don't you!   Natural is the way to go.  Effective natural products.

Here's a good one for target fat-loss and appetite control!

Vitamins and Minerals

Health by definition is simply the absence of disease.  I am not going to talk about just health, I am going to talk about Wellness!  Vibrant Optimal Wellness!   About feeling absolutely great every single time we wake up in the morning until we are ready to go to bed at night.  Now, we talked about how important Omega 3’s are to our wellness, as well as Antioxidants and Plant Sterols.  We need these things to feel great!  Now, let’s talk about vitamins and minerals as this is important for nourishing our cells.  Remember, if our cells are healthy, we are healthy.  HEALTHY CELLS = HEALTHY BODIES.  Vitamins and Minerals play an important role.

Yes vitamins are very popular and there are many to choose from.  So which one should we choose? Well, let’s look at what is out there in the marketplace.  The most common and the most popular are still First Generation Vitamins and Minerals.  They are synthetic and pretty much derived from what is not used from oil and gas:  petroleum distillate.  Now, this doesn’t sound nourishing, but basically, the molecules are tweaked to make chemically based vitamins.   However, the design of nature is that the plant takes up the nutrients from nutrient rich soil, and then digest and organizes those nutrients into a food-matrix and then we eat the plant or fruit.  We are not really designed to take in synthetic v&m, though we still can absorb synthetic, but natural is the way to go and the most efficient for our bodies.  Also, the minerals that is in the first generation v&m are finely ground minerals.  For instance, a calcium supplement are basically finely ground up limestone.  But plants eats rocks and dirt and we eat the plant.  We are not really designed to eat rocks and dirt.  Right?

Now the Second Generation Vitamin and mineral is a little bit better.  It typically comes from a single plant or fruit, but no single plant or fruit has all the nutrition we need in order to live well.  And the minerals they put in there are still ground up rocks and dirt.

Now the Third Generation Vitamin and Mineral is truly the most natural supplement out there.  Mannatech, Inc.  developed a product called PhytoMatrix, the worlds first Third Generation Vitamin and Mineral.  The way it was developed is through a patented hydroponics technology in which they grew an Indian Mustard Plant in nutrient and mineral rich water, and as the plant grew to its maturity, absorbed the nutrients, then the plant is stabilized, and pulverized into a mustard colored caplet called PhytoMatrix.  Our bodies recognizes this as real food.  It won’t even upset our tummy’s even if we take it in an empty stomach.  It’s that natural.   Check out the link below if you want to know more about Mannatech’s PhytoMatrix.

Plant Sterols

Since we are to be starting 2011, I thought of talking about health and wellness and how important Plant Sterols are to our overall good health. One study showed that consuming two grams of phytosterols or plant sterols a day could benefit your heart health by 25%.  See our health is our wealth. Without health, we really won’t have energy to do much and energy is what drives us to succeed in life and to fulfill our goals, aspirations and the LifeStyeLiving we truly want to live.

Plant sterols or Phytosterols are basically plant hormones.  Let's not mistake human hormone, or certainly not animal hormone, but plant hormones.  (on a side note, plants too have blood, yeah, it's called chlorophyl).  Anyhow, plant sterols support your body's endocrine (hormonal) system.  The endocrine system is your Body's Command Central. When functioning well, its glands direct operations by producing vital hormones that send signals to keep you ready for anything and help your body stay balanced.  Your endocrine system controls every aspect of your body even blinking your eye is an endocrine response.  Feeling happy is an endocrine response as well.  Plant sterols supports your glands normal function.  That's it!  Normal function is key to keeping you happy and healthy as oppose abnormal function; right?  A good source of plant sterols come from wild yam.  But who'd eat wild yam?

A good plant sterol supplement is from Mannatech, Inc. and they call it Plus.  Mannatech's Plus provide specific nutrients, including plant sterols to support your gland's natural function.  It is designed to support Breast health, Prostate health, Bone health, Colon health, Immune health, and Heart Health.  It is gluten-free, naturally sourced, Manufactured in conformance with federally established GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices), it is cutting edge technology and certified by NSF International (an independent third-party organization that develops  standards and certifies products in more than 100 countries)  so you can feel safe when using Plus.   It's non-toxic and you can take this on an empty stomach.  It won't upset your tummy.  That is how you really know something is natural when it doesn't upset your stomach.  This product truly delivers the nutrients your body needs in order to support your body's endocrine system and for your well being.

Antioxidants

Since we are to be starting 2011, I thought of talking about health and wellness and how important Antioxidants are to our overall good health. Personal health is so important because our good vibrant health helps us be more productive in life and it certainly helps us feel great! Not just, "I feel okay", but feeling absolutely fabulous!!!

See, stress, smoking, pollution, processed foods, even normal bodily functions like eating and breathing produce free radicals in our bodies. These free radicals cause oxidative stress, which may lead to challenges like:

Cell Damage

Premature Aging

(no one wants to age faster then they need to)

Attack on DNA

Low Levels of Energy

(Energy is so vital)

Overall Poor Health

Even the healthiest person produce free radicals attacking their cells an estimated 10,000 times every day. It is so important to take in Antioxidants. Typically antioxidants come from the fruits and vegetables we eat, but nowadays our food doesn't have the nutrients and the antioxidants we need in order to live in our highly toxic environment. That is why we really need to supplement with a good antioxidant. My personal favorite brand is Mannatech's Ambrtosoe AO and AO stands for Antioxidants. Two small capsules of Ambrotose AO have been clinically shown to provide 200% greater antioxidant protection than an additional five servings of fruits and vegetables a day (today, who eats 5 servings of fruits and veggies?). It's all natural and it gives you the best antioxidant protection to protect your cells from free radical damage and helps you anti-age.
