95% of All Food Sold in Supermarkets is Acid Forming

Most of us eat 80 percent acid foods and 20 percent alkaline foods and just the opposite ratio is the one that will guide you to disease-free vibrant health – for life!

What are we to do? Become rabbits and eat carrots and celery all day? No way! There are too many foods to love and too much variety to enjoy. Too much we can’t give up, at least not overnight.

The answer is simple...

All Day Energy Greens


Dear Reader,

The concept of making New Year’s resolutions dates back thousands of years to the Roman Empire. The symbolism associated with a fresh start still motivates people to attempt to make positive changes in their lives. Unfortunately, less than half of the people who make resolutions actually manage to keep them.

According to a study conducted at the University of Scranton, six months after January 1 only 46 percent of those who make New Year’s resolutions have fulfilled them. So, what can you do to make sure you follow through on your good intentions?

One of the most important things you can do during menopause is to be good to yourself. Schedule regular massages, take a yoga class, learn a new dance step, plant an herb garden, listen to soothing music and read inspirational poetry. Make some time for you and remember that the best years of your life are just beginning.

  • Keep them simple.

You will have better luck keeping your resolutions if you concentrate on one or two things at a time. Once the first resolution has become a habit you can always add another one to your list.

  • Have a plan.

After you have decided on your resolutions make a plan for how you are going to accomplish them. If you’ve promised yourself you will walk a mile at least four times a week, decide exactly where and when you will do it. Many Americans make resolutions that involve losing weight. If losing weight is on your list, make a plan to do it 10 pounds at a time. Write down a list of healthy foods you enjoy eating. Jot down a list of sensible and fun exercises you can do. Concentrate on the positive outcomes, not just lower weight but higher energy levels, glowing skin and well-functioning muscles.

  • Write them down.

Write down your resolution and stick in on the refrigerator so you will be reminded of it every day. (This is particularly helpful if your resolution involves loosing weight because you can’t open the refrigerator door without seeing it.)

  • Tell Somebody.

Share your New Year’s goals with important people in your life so they can support you. Studies show that people who keep their resolutions secret are rarely able to keep them. If your resolutions include a goal to get more exercise, invite a couple of friends to exercise with you. It’s more fun to do it with a friend and you will be far more likely to stay on your program.

  • Be realistic when making your resolutions.

Be realistic when making your resolutions. Resolving to become a marathon runner in one year when you’ve never even jogged around the block is counter productive. Keep your goals realistic, small and achievable. Think of a fun way to reward yourself when you achieve your goals.


Check out NASA's Astonishing Results...

NASA scientists discovered that because the cells of the body live in an essentially zero-gravity environment, it's beneficial to alter the G-force in order to stimulate the body's lymphatic system that removes toxins from the cells.

Rebounding, (jumping on a trampoline), they found, is the only exercise proven to exert the maximum amount of "pull" on the human body down to the cellular level, with the least amount of effort.

Subjects exercising on a Rebounder experienced a whopping 68% greater result in conditioning as compared to those who jogged. Gravity helps to cleanse, strengthen and energize every cell, every organ and every muscle.


And one more thing...

If, despite your best intentions and dedication you still break a resolution, don’t give up. You are human. One slip-up doesn’t mean you can’t achieve your goal. Many people take their resolutions too seriously and beat themselves up after any little setback. Don’t do that to yourself. Resolutions are goals and they need to be viewed that way. With a little planning and a lot of determination you can make positive changes that will enhance your life for years to come.

Yours in good health,

The Length and Quality of Your Life Depend On How Well Your Liver Functions!

Impaired liver and gallbladder function has been linked to accelerated aging, weakened immune system and dozens of major illnesses and diseases including asthma, coronary heart disease, cancers, migraines, allergies, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, and kidney disease. When your liver can't cleanse your blood, all the toxins you ingest and absorb are passed unchecked into your bloodstream where they poison your lungs, your skin, your kidneys, your reproductive organs, your bones, and every cell in your body!

Why? Because your liver is your body's mastermind detoxifying agent and blood filter and your first and most powerful line of defense in a polluted world. (That's why the traditional Chinese doctors call the liver "the general in the army," and why the oldest healing systems on earth always clean the liver first!)
