Hi All,
Recently I read a book written by a Japanese/American Doctor by the name of Hiromi Shinya, titled "The Enzyme Factor", How to live long and never be sick. It is an amazing book and an amazing concept. He is 73 years old and says that he has not been sick since he was 19.
After reading his book we have decided that we would follow his guidelines for better health. It is not difficult to change a few things in the way you live and eat to live a healthier life.
If I can quote a paragraph from the book that somewhat sums it all up....
The human body consists of a very intricate system, delicately balanced. That system also functions inside each of the apptoximately 60 million cells that make up the human body. If you are serious about your health , think about your body starting at the cellular level.
Our cells are always being replaced by new cells. Cells in some areas of the body are completely replaced by new ones in several days, while in other areas the process can take as long as several years. Eventually, they all get replaced. These new cells are made from the water and food that we consume on a daily basis. Based on this, we can say that the quality of food and water we consume determines our health.
This is the reason why we have taken the steps to improve our health. We have taken the following from our every day food..... things like all dairy products, meat, tea and coffee and added such things as fresh fruit and vegetables and lots of clean water.
If you wish to know more about our healthy lifestyle just call me and I will give some added details.

Skin Care
There are some types of pollution you just cannot avoid if you live and work in the city, drive on a freeway, and work in a closed central airconditioned building. There are some forms of internal and external pollution that can and should be avoided if you want your skin to stay young. Such things as drug use, cigarette smoke alcohol abuse, stress inadequate diet, various forms of environmental toxins, and certain medications like antibiotics are all affecting the aging of your skin.
Cigarette smokers develop severe premature wrinkling, crepeyness and bags and dark circles under the eyes. Smoking is second only to sunlight as an aging factor. It depletes the body of vitamins A E C and B and minerals calcium, potassium and zinc. One cigarette uses up to 25 milligrams of vitamin C. Read my article on "quit smoking" to find an easy way to give up the habit.
Alcohol abuse affects the function of the body in many ways especially the liver. When the liver is not functioning adequately it shows up as a reddening on the face and a sallow dead appearance,and is caused by the dilation of the blood vessels. The nose and cheeks become enlarged.
If you have an inadequate diet or you indulge in crash dieting you will have vitamin deficient skin. Some diets can cause serious harm to the skin as they are nutrient deprived. Some diets consist only of fruits, lack protein and fats. The skin can become dehydrated, flaky or sallow and can cause serious health problems.
Every week in the fashion magazines there is a new breakthrough in skin care. Major cosmetic companies quote from the heads of research and development their new lines of products that revolutionize your skin care. They are promoting cosmetics that have added oxygen, vitamins or provitamins and all kinds of fruits added. We could go on with all the 'new' information and additives that are being added to face creams and pay huge amounts of money to obtain the latest night cream that will oxygenerate the skin, but there is no end to the sales pitch. The best of all is simply a good exercise program and get a massage.
As new skin care products making claims as anti-aging potions are marketed, you the consumer, must be aware of what these products can and cannot do. The cosmetic industry is a self-regulating industry and as such there is no standards of quality or efficacy set for cosmetics. The FDA regulates the drug industry but can only warn major cosmetic firms regarding the use of advertising terms used in their sales literature.

Your skin.
Our skin covers an area of about 21 square feet and weighs about 9 pounds.
It is not only a wrapping, but performs many duties vital to the body. It protects against bacteria, regulates temperature, absorbs oxygen required for new cells, blood and plasma.It also gives us a sense of touch through nerve endings, releases toxins 24/7 through sweat glands, and produces the body's natural moisture - selium. We cannot do without the skin.
It will, to a point, take care of itself. We do, however, abuse and neglect it. We generally don't start to care for it until it gives us trouble. During our teens and twenties, we take our skin for granted, it is often cut, burnt,scraped and will efficiently heal itself.
Then after 30, the signs of aging begin to appear. Fine lines appear around the eyes and then becomes drier and rough. Skin cancers show up at a rate of one out of every three persons. Neglect and abuse shows up as we approach midlife.
All this could have been avoided if we had only started to care for it during our childhood. You may not be able to reverse this process but you can ease the damage naturally and without surgery. You will however have to change some things from the inside such as proper nutrition, supplemental vitamins and exercise. From the outside you will need to change most of the cosmetics that you are presently using.
In my next post, I will go into more detail and how I overcame an acute problem with acne, and how I was able to rid myself of this ugly problem using natural methods. I will also cover subjects like skin cancer and repairing skin damage.
So to keep these posts short I must ask you to follow me on this subject in my next posting.
Thank you

A short message
Hi All,
Recently, my wife and I, attended a short meditation with a home group.
A quote from that session made me think and I hope it makes you think.
"What will you do when you know you cannot fail?"
I'm not going to answer that for you, as you know the answer already.

Eat less meat
Hi ALL,
I have no intention of becoming a vegetarian, however my wife and I have been researching our health now for some years and we are changing the way we eat. As you are probably aware "it is what we eat that determines our health and our ability to ward off disease" With this in mind we would not put used dirty oil in our brand new car for it' 10,000klm service , so why feed our body junk.
In the last few years I have put on a gradual amount of weight. Don't get me wrong..I'm not obese and Jennifer loves me being cuddly...but I do know that I need to trim it a little. I have gone from an active job working 8-10 hours a day to sitting behind a desk and computer. So this has not helped my 'spread' We walk daily for at least 40 minutes, but still I need to control my weight.
The answer has to be in what we eat.
My research tells me that I must consume more plant-based foods and fewer meat- based ones.But I love my meat! My typical day would be a cereal with milk for breakfast, sweat biscuits or cake for mid-morning, a good hearty lunch, usually deep fried, from a snack bar.During the course of the day I would drink a large amount of flavoured milk with probably a scary amount of sugar added. The evening meal was based around 2 or 3 vegetables with a good sized portion of meat like steak or chicken. Rarely would I have fish. And to top this all off....3 glasses of good red wine.
Whilst looking at my diet and health in general I have discovered some facts that I would like to share with you here.
We are going around this in reverse.
But back to my change in eating habits.
Meat is not a part of our evening meal anymore.
I have seen an improvement in my health because of it and I am losing weight.
We are eating more plant-based foods and loving it.
We may eat meat at our weekly restaurant outing but that's all, So we are not strict-vegetarian.
I trust this has given you something to think about.
Till next time

- There are 10 animals raised for food every year for each person on this planet. That's 60 billion.
- By 2050that consumption will increase to 120 billion.
- To grow grain for food, you expend 9.2kj of energy to yield only 4.2kj of protein. however if you process that grain for animal feed, and add to that the animal's other requirements- land use, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, machinery, transport, antibiotics and last but not least water- you're responsible for 167kj of energy to get that same 4.2kj of protein.

Colds and Sore Throats
Hi ALL,
Recently I visited a friend who informed me that she had a cold and a sore throat.She was sucking on a medicated throat lozenger and before too long she took another one from her pocket. This spiked my interest and I suggested an alternative. She did not recall of my 'interest' in alternative health but I have mentioned to her in the past that we (my wife and I) were researching alternative health and taking a more active role in our health care.
I gave here my health tip for sore throats and colds.
You are probably wondering what it is ....aren't you?
Well it is quite simple really. Some of you will have it in your kitchen however If not I suggest you get some of this magic formula next time you are grocery shopping.
It is .....yes wait for it......coarse grains of sea salt.
You simply suck on a small quantity of the grains 3 or so times in a day, till all signs of the sore throat or cold have disappeared. Simple hey! Don't swallow the grains, suck on them till these dissolve.
And if you get leg cramps ...Do the same.
Stay away from medications as they have a detrimental effect on our overall health.
In future articles I will talk about other health issues.
I look forward to your comments.
