June 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Really interesting thing
Why  a  wedding ring should be put on the fourth finger?
Pls follow the below step, really god made this miracle( this is from a Chinese excerpt)

Firstly, show your palm, centre finger bend and put together back to back
Secondly, the rest 4 fingers tips to tips
Games begin, follow the below arrangement, 5 fingers but only 1 pair can’t split

Try to open your thumb, the thumbs represent parents, it can be open cause all humans do go thru sickness and die.
Which is why our parents will leave us one day
Pls close up your thumb, then open your second finger, the fingers represent brothers and sisters,
they do have their own families which is why they will leave us too
Now close up your second finger, open up your little fingers, this represents your children.
Sooner or later they too will leave us for they have their own living to live
Nevertheless, close up your little finer, try to open your fourth finger which we put our wedding rings on,
you will be surprised to find that it cannot be open at all.  B
ecause it represent husband and wife, this whole life you will be attached to each other!!!!!

Real love will stick together forever and ever

Thumb represent parents
Second finger represents brothers & sisters
Centre finger represents own self
Fourth finger represents your partner
Last finger represents your children

cheers,

Bobby

10 Tips to Improve Your Speaking Voice

June 9, 2009 · Leave a Comment

One of the most important components of public speaking is the sound of your voice. It influences the impact of your message, and might even make or break the success of your speech. Fortunately, for many people, good voice quality can be learned.

Instructions :

  1. Breathe from your diaphragm – Practice long and controlled exhales. When you speak, use breath to punctuate your point. For example, take a breath at the end of each phrase whether you need to or not. Use that opportunity to pause and let the listeners absorb what you say.
     
  2. Use pitch – Lower pitches generally are more soothing to hear. However, modulating your pitch for emphasis will keep your listeners engaged. Develop your pitch by practicing humming.
     
  3.  Moderate your volume – Find out if you speak too loudly or too softly. When you begin speaking, ask your audience how your volume is (each situation is different). Try to stay at the appropriate volume throughout your speech.
     
  4. Moderate your pace – This one is also closely related to breath. If you speak too quickly, people can’t keep up. If you speak too slowly, people will lose interest. Record your speech to determine if you need to change your pace. Get feedback from others.
     
  5. Articulate – Try exaggerating your lip movement to reduce mumbling. Practice articulating tongue twisters and extending and exaggerating vowel sounds. Become an expert at articulating tongue twisters as quickly and crisply as possible. Focus on the ones you find difficult.
     
  6. Practice your speech in advance and determine where you want to pause for a breath. For more emphasis, pause for more than one breath. Mark your breathing points in your notes.
     
  7. Loosen up before you begin. Look side to side. Roll your head in half-circles and roll your shoulders back. Shift your rib cage from side to side. Yawn. Stretch. Touch your toes while completely relaxing your upper body, then slowly stand up, one vertebra at a time, raising your head last. Repeat as needed.
     
  8. Posture – Stand up straight and tall to allow full lung capacity and airflow.
     
  9. Record your voice repeatedly using different ways of speaking. Determine which one is most pleasing.
     
  10. Practice breath control – Take a deep breath, and while you exhale, count to 10 (or recite the months or days of the week). Try gradually increasing your volume as you count, using your abdominal muscles—not your throat—for volume. Don’t let your larynx tense up.

A Million Dollar Lesson..

May 25, 2009 · Leave a Comment

 A cab driver taught me a million dollar lesson in customer satisfaction and expectation. Motivational speakers charge thousands of dollars to impart his kind of training to corporate executives and staff. It cost me a $12 taxi ride. 

 I had flown into Dallas for the sole purpose of calling on a client. Time was of the essence and my plan included a quick turnaround trip from and back to the airport. A spotless cab pulled up. 

The driver rushed to open the passenger door for me and made sure I was comfortably seated before he closed the door. As he got in the driver’s seat, he mentioned that the neatly folded Wall Street Journal next to me for my use. He then showed me several tapes and asked me what type of music I would enjoy. 

 Well! I looked around for a “Candid Camera!” Wouldn’t you? I could not believe the service I was receiving! I took the opportunity to say, “Obviously you take great pride in your work. You must have a story to tell.”

 “You bet,” he replied, “I used to be in Corporate America. But I got tired of thinking my best would never be good enough. I decided to find my niche in life where I could feel proud of being the best I could be. 

 I knew I would never be a rocket scientist, but I love driving cars, being of service and feeling like I have done a full day’s work and done it well. I evaluate my personal assets and… Wham! I became a cab driver.

  One thing I know for sure, to be good in my business I could simply just meet the expectations of my passengers. But, to be GREAT in my business, I have to EXCEED the customer’s expectations! I like both the sound and the return of being ‘great’ better than just getting by on ‘average’”

 Did I tip him big time? You bet! Corporate America’s loss is the traveling folk’s friend!

 

 Lessons:

 

 * Go an Extra Mile when providing  any Service to others.

 

* The is no good or bad job. You can make any job good.

 

 * Good service always brings good return.

cheers,
Bobby Wan

Woman’s Favourite Email of the Year!

May 18, 2009 · Leave a Comment

 man was sick and tired of going to work every day while his wife stayed home.

 He wanted her to see what he went through so he prayed:

 ’Dear Lord:

 I go to work every day and put in 8 hours while my wife merely stays at home. I want her to know what I go through. So, please allow her body to switch with mine for a day.

 Amen!’

God, in his infinite wisdom, granted the man’s wish.

The next morning, sure enough, the man awoke as a woman.

 He arose, cooked breakfast for his mate, Awakened the kids, Set out their school clothes, Fed them breakfast, Packed their lunches, Drove them to school, Came home and picked up the dry cleaning, Took it to the cleaners And stopped at the bank to make a deposit,Went grocery shopping,

 Then drove home to put away the groceries, Paid the bills and balanced the check book. He cleaned the cat’s litter box and bathed the dog. Then, it was already 1P.M.

 And he hurried to make the beds, Do the laundry, vacuum, Dust, And sweep and mop the kitchen floor. Ran to the school to pick up the kids and got into an argument with them on the way home.

 Set out milk and cookies and got the kids organized to do their homework. Then, set up the ironing board and watched TV while he did the ironing.

 At 4:30 he began peeling potatoes and washing vegetables for salad, breaded the pork chops and snapped fresh beans for supper. After supper, He cleaned the kitchen, Ran the dishwasher, Folded laundry, Bathed the kids, And put them to bed.

 At 9 P.M . He was exhausted and, though his daily chores weren’t finished, he went to bed where he was expected to make love, which he managed to get through without complaint.

The next morning, he awoke and immediately knelt by the bed and said: -

 ’Lord, I don’t know what I was thinking.

 I was so wrong to envy my wife’s being able to stay home all day. Please, oh! Oh! Please, let us trade back. Amen!’

The Lord, in his infinite wisdom, replied:

  EVER WONDER where we are headed…

  Why the sun lightens our hair,

  but darkens our skin?

  Why women can’t put on mascara

  with their mouth closed?

  Why you don’t ever see the headline:

  “Psychic Wins Lottery”?

  Why “abbreviated” is such a long word?

  Why Doctors call what they do “practice”?

  Why you have to click on “Start”

  to stop Windows 98?

  Why lemon juice is made with artificial flavor, while dishwashing liquid

  is made with real lemons?

  Why the man who invests all your money is called a “Broker”?

  Why there isn’t mouse flavored cat food?

  Who tastes dog food when it has a

  “new & improved” flavor?

  Why Noah didn’t swat those two mosquitoes?

  Why they sterilize the needle for lethal injections?

  Why they don’t make the whole plane out of the material used for the

  indestructible black box?

  Why sheep don’t shrink when it rains?

  Why they are called apartments when

  they are all stuck together?

  If con is the opposite of pro,

  is Congress the opposite of progress?

  Why they call the airport “the terminal”

  if flying is so safe?

  AND…

  In case you need further proof that the human race is doomed because of

  stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods.

  On a Myer hairdryer:

  “Do not use while sleeping”.

  (Darn, and that’s the only time I have to work on my hair).

   On a bag of Chips:

  You could be a winner!  No purchase necessary.  Details inside.

  (The shoplifter special?)

  On a bar of Palmolive soap:

  “Directions:  Use like regular soap”.

  (And that would be how???)

  On some frozen dinners:

  “Serving suggestion:  Defrost”.

  (But, it’s just a suggestion).

  On Nanna’s Tiramisu dessert

  (printed on bottom):

  “Do not turn upside down”.

  (Well…duh, a bit late, huh)!

  On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding:

  “Product will be hot after heating”.

  (And you thought????…)

  On packaging for a K-Mart iron:

  “Do not iron clothes on body”.

>  (But wouldn’t this save me more time?)

  On Boot’s Children Cough Medicine:

  “Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication”.

  (We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we

  could just get those 5 year olds with head colds off those forklifts.)

  On Nytol Sleep Aid:

  “Warning: May cause drowsiness”.

  (And…I’m taking this because???)

  On most brands of Christmas lights:

  “For indoor or outdoor use only”.

  (As opposed to…what?)

  On a Japanese food processor:

  “Not to be used for the other use”.

  (Now, somebody out there, help me on this.  I’m a bit curious.)

  On Nobby’s peanuts:

 “Warning: contains nuts”.

  (Talk about a news flash!)

  On an American Airlines packet of nuts:

  “Instructions:  Open packet, eat nuts”.

  (Step 3: maybe, uh…fly Delta?)

  I don’t blame the company; I blame the parents for this one:

  On a child’s superman costume:

  “Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly”.

What’s Holding You Back?????

October 1, 2008 · Leave a Comment

What’s Holding You Back?????

Everyone wants the good things in life.

Everyone wants to be a successful person.

Who doesn’t want to be a millionaire?

Who doesn’t want to have a big house, car, wonderful holidays?

With the exception of a few saintly people in this world,

I believe most would somehow dream about it sometimes in their lives?

But what’s holding people to go out to achieve what they have been dreaming for?

I’m sure many of you will be able to come out with a lot of reasons and causes.

But the fact remains – WHAT prevents people from going for what they want?

 

People will come up with reasons like:- “I don’t have money”, “I don’t know people”,

“I came from a poor family”, “This country is different”, “The economy is not good”,

“I don’t have the qualifications”, “I don’t have the ability”, “I’m a girl”, “I’m too young”, “I’m too old” and many more.

The interesting things are that people have achieved their dreams even when they don’t have money,

when economy is bad, when they have no qualification.

 

In fact they have achieved their dreams in worst kinds of conditions than those listed above.

And now, an inspiring note : “If someone somewhere can achieve it, so can you!”

So we come back again, what’s holding you back?

Nobody, not the environment, not your family, not your background,

not even your girlfriend or boyfriend – It’s YOU, yourself!

 

What’s within yourself that holds you back??

Self-doubt – You are not sure of yourself – you have no confidence in yourself,

you actually don’t believe in yourself and your own ability.

This is indeed an irony because we are the greatest miracle that was ever “created” and

yet we doubt ourselves. And most of us tend to hide in our dark side.

 

This is very well stated by Nelson Mandala,-”Our worst fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, “Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?

Actually, who are you not to be?” Somehow people seem to be brought up that to expose our “talents” is not being “humble”.

 

I strongly believe that not to exploit our talents make us live a life of hypocrisy and unhappiness.

Only through exercising our potentials are we accomplishing the reasons why we are on this planet.

Do not be like the millions of people who live, walk and died in this life with the music inside them left unsung.

 

So, free yourself from the fear of failure, don’t bother what people say, move on regardless of all rejections.

If some people reject you or your ideas, which they have the right to, so WHAT! You too have your right to stick to your ideas.

So move on to the next person. Just do what you have planned and you will be surprised by what you can achieved.

After all, how do you or other people know you can’t do it until you have tried ?

May your power be released.

 



If after you read this message above, you feel like running out to make a huge change to the world.

If after you read this message above, you feel like doing something DIFFERENT to your life right now.

If after you read this message above, you feel like you are stuck in the middle of your life. Not knowing what’s next.

If after you read this message….. if you ever felt something ….. some DESIRE to do something!

 

To make a change to your life. No one moved your cheese. You just did – yourself!

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take,

Exercise – The Real Wonder Drug [Fitness article]

August 7, 2008 · Leave a Comment

 

 

Exercise

:

The Real Wonder Drug

A review and reminder

 

Exercise is good for the mind and for the body.

It sharpens the mind and boosts mood.

It provides energy and a sense of mastery.

It improves the quality of your sleep so you wake up

Feeling better rested.

 

It keeps the heart and blood vessels in working order.

It protects against such common conditions as diabetes.

It is invaluable in weight control.

 

Now comes more good news:

Intense exercise may curb your sweet tooth.

Animal studies show that exercise decreases preference for sweetness.

 

Scientists aren’t sure why exercise has this effect.

It may be that intense activity revs up endorphins

And related substances in your brain,

And that powerfully positive blast of pleasure

Might decrease the need for satisfying food.

 

The danger for athletes is that such an effect

Might keep them from consuming enough

Food to replace calories lost in exertion.

But most of us have no such problem.

 

And there’s more good news…

Long-term exercise

Improves your immune system with 30 minutes of exercise a day.

Three times a week, adults strengthened not only their muscles

But the immune system’s first line of defense against viral infection.

 

Blood tests showed them to have more active natural killer cells.

 

They had no such boost in immune function

If they exercised for only three months.

 

It took 11 months of working out to impact the immune system.

 

The results were especially important because the exercisers

Were older adults. The researchers say the study demonstrates

How a little exercise can help people maintain their health

And independence with advancing age.

 

And that leads directly to other new findings.

For example, working out is great,

But when you stop doing it,

You lose the benefits.

 

As the saying goes, use it or lose it.

 

When you stop exercising, you lose not only the physical benefits,

But the psychological benefits as well.

 

In this case, researchers looked at adults with lung disease

And found that after just 10 weeks of exercising —

 

Doing aerobic workouts,

Strength training and

Stretching three times a week

 

– there were significant gains mentally and physically.

Exercisers boosted high-level cognitive abilities and were

Better able to maintain train of thought.

They also showed fewer signs of depression and anxiety.

 

If they kept on exercising, they maintained the benefits,

But there were no subsequent gains in mental or physical function

Even if they kept up the good work for a year.

There comes a point where the gains max out.

 

However, those who stopped exercising returned

To their original, pre-study level of functioning.

They lost all they had gained.

 

No matter what, you just have to keep up the physical activity

To get the benefits.

 

And don’t expect a single bout of exercise to do much good,

At least for your sleep.

 

If exercise isn’t habitual, a single period of exertion

– whether it’s aerobic exercise or resistance-type exercise

– can actually disrupt your sleep.

 

If losing weight is one of the benefits you seek,

Then studies show your exercise has to consist of

Aerobic and calorie-burning activities,

Such as

 

Walking,

Jogging,

Swimming or

Bicycle riding.

 

Weight training offers many benefits —

 

Like building muscle and strength,

Boosting immunity,

Reducing the risk of low-back injury —

 

But by itself it won’t burn enough calories to promote much weight loss.

 

So get into the habit

.

Choose an activity that you like and

One you can keep on doing.

And just keep going at a nice steady pace.

 

cheers,
Bobby Wan

The Power of Words

August 2, 2008 · 1 Comment

The Power of Words

 

How many times have we set goals, visualized our desired outcome, created and repeated positive affirmations, and yet still not achieved what we had hoped? There are numerous potential causes for this. Sometimes its simply a matter of WORDS.

 

Every sound we utter sends out an energy wave that aids in creating our world. With every sentence we speak we are improving or destroying our health, relationships, finances, etc.

 

The most powerful example I’ve ever heard was a story told to me directly by the woman who had the experience. This woman had developed an incurable disease of the eyes. She was quickly going blind. Her physicians said there was NOTHING they could do. Being very determined and not liking what she heard, she turned to alternative therapies for a possible cure – something she never would have done had she not been in this desperate situation. A friend recommended she see someone that did crystal healing. She thought that sounded ridiculous but decided to give it a try. During her appointment, the crystal healing therapist asked her to describe herself, her life, etc. and she let her talk for about 10 minutes. Suddenly, the therapist stopped her and said “Did you know that in the last 10 minutes you said the words ‘I hate to see’ 15 times?” The woman was shocked. She used the words “I hate to see” before many things. “I hate to see the way the world is going.” “I hate to see how they  are treating the children in schools.” On and on she made reference to “I hate to see” this or that. This was literally an eye opening experience. She switched her words and now years later has perfect vision.

 

HOW MANY WORDS DO WE USE THAT DESTROY OUR DESIRES?

 

NEVER NEVER NEVER say “I’m Sorry.” Two of the most powerful words in the English language are the words I AM. These words tell every part of you – your personality, your subconscious, your ego, your spirit – who you are. They define WHO YOU ARE. Be very careful what you place behind those words. When you say “I’m sorry,” you are saying that WHO YOU ARE is a sorry individual. Replace the words “I’m sorry” with “I apologize.” Anyone who eliminates the words “I’m sorry” from their vocabulary will increase their self esteem almost immediately! The same goes for “I’m sick.” “I’m tired.” “I’m stupid.” – you get the idea. Replace those with “I feel ___” and eliminate the stupid comment altogether.

 

SO WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH GOAL ACHIEVEMENT?

 

Another very important aspect of conscious language is the LAW OF FOCUS. What ever we place our attention on is what we create. It’s important to focus on the positive thing we desire rather than the negative thing we want to avoid. For example, never focus on NOT AGING. Focusing on not aging ensures that you will age and quickly. Instead focus on being healthy, vibrant, and youthful.

 

An interesting and often overlooked part of all this is the need to avoid words that are negating a negative. What the heck do I mean by that? A word like LIMITLESS is actually drawing the subconscious mind to focus on LIMITS. This is NOT what we want. So saying something like LIMITLESS ABUNDANCE is placing limits on the abundance.

 

An example from my own life is the word EFFORTLESS. In the past when I made affirmations, I would typically end them with the words “easy, effortless, and fun.” An example might be “Having a wonderful relationship is easy, effortless, and fun.” This was actually drawing EFFORT into my life. Since I have eliminated that word and now only use “easy and fun” EVERYTHING has shifted. We sold our house in 2 weeks because it was “easy and fun.” – and there was no EFFORT involved. Doug’s immigration process to the U.S. was taken care of in less than 2 months. There are many, many other examples of how this has made things move very quickly and easily for us.

 

Review your own affirmations and the words you say out loud or just to yourself and see how POSITIVE you are actually being. It does make a difference!

 

cheers,

Natural Cancer killer – 10,000 times stronger than Chemo

July 27, 2008 · Leave a Comment

 

Plus read on to learn about:

  • A BREAKTHROUGH FOR CANCER! This miraculous herb could revolutionize cancer treatment forever!
  • MIRACLE CURES THAT COULD KILL YOU! The dangers of alternative medicine nobody will tell you–until now!
  • FORGET CHOLESTEROL! Powerful new antioxidant works better than drugs and is 60 times more effective than vitamin E!
  • ELIMINATE ARTHRITIS PAIN! Regenerate cartilage…reduce swelling and inflammation…even for rheumatoid arthritis!
  • PLUS MUCH MORE!

For seven years a major U.S. Pharmaceutical company knew of an astounding cancer killer–but decided to tell nobody about it…ever!!

 

Dear Reader,

There isn’t a scarier moment in anyone’s life than when a biopsy comes back positive. It’s cancer…It’s the beginning of a battle in which no holds are barred. Anyone with any sense will do almost anything at all to try and destroy the killer disease…

Imagine one pharmaceutical company had the answer…had it, as it was, for SEVEN FULL YEARS…yet, not only didn’t tell anyone about it–but decided not to tell anyone about it ever!?

Why? Because the substance they researched is completely natural so they couldn’t take out a patent on it.

For seven long years they tried to artificially mimic the compound’s effect in the lab but couldn’t. Mother Nature is the only thing that worked. They had no way to make money on the stuff–so they shelved all of their research.

Can you imagine how many Americans may have died in vain during that time?

Read on to learn the full story of the astounding tree from the Amazon Rainforest they kept from you–but that’s just the beginning.

Within the next 10 years almost 50% of all Americans will discover, to their horror, that the “tight feeling” is, indeed, a heart attack…

And almost one out of every three of them will die…

 

…completely needlessly!

Needlessly , because, right now, as you read these words, brilliant medical researchers are successfully treating cancer…heart disease…high-blood pressure…diabetes…osteoporosis…prostate problems…back pain…chronic fatigue…allergies…asthma and arthritis–without resorting to dangerous drugs or surgery.

Yet, while these therapies are available today–almost none of them will get to the people who need them so desperately for at least 10 years!

Can you, or someone you love dearly, afford to wait?

 

You need these breakthroughs now because you or someone you love may be in pain now…or taking toxic drugs…or facing surgery.

You may actually be in danger of losing your life. You need to know about all your options. And, unfortunately, your doctor doesn’t have all the answers. Chances are he doesn’t know about these cures himself! Hard to believe?

Over 10 years ago, a brilliant group of researchers set out to evaluate the cancer-blocking properties of the common mineral selenium. They found it reduced lung cancer risk by a whopping 46%, colon cancer risk by 58%, and prostate cancer by 62%!! Their findings were published in the Journal of The American Medical Association…finally!

Through no fault of his own, it could take your doctor an additional 10 long years to hear about a natural cancer treatment that’s revolutionary and could help make cancer more manageable. But is there a reason why you should wait that long to know? Absolutely not! I’ll tell you all about it–keep reading…

It will take most Americans another 10 years to be told the vitamin E they’ve been taking is NOT aiding them in their fight against heart disease. Chances are, even your doctor doesn’t know that a safe, more effective, form of vitamin E is just a single miracle-pill away! You, however, won’t have to wait that long. You’ll find details if you keep reading.

And, similarly, your doctor knows there’s little that can be done against the ravages of aging. He may know that human growth hormone (HGH) can turn back your biological clock by as much as 20 years. But he also knows that HGH treatment is not only very expensive, but is also dangerous and fraught with severe side effects.

What your doctor probably doesn’t know, and isn’t likely to learn about for another 10 years, is that RIGHT NOW there’s an HGH treatment available that DOES NOT involve the administration of any hormone. This treatment is as effective as HGH hormone therapy, but is completely safe and costs about as much as a cup of coffee a day!

Imagine regaining lost muscle mass and tone…more hair…flexibility… Sharper vision…thicker, smoother, and more supple skin…it’s available today and I’ll tell you all about it.

But, believe it or not, not knowing
About these cures isn’t the worst of it!

Some of the latest breakthroughs your doctor DOES know about and use are actually worse than the health problems he’s trying to solve!

Do you–or anyone you know–suffer from arthritis? Millions of Americans do. In some cases, the illness turns their lives into a living hell of disability and pain.

If you’re one of those people, just walk into any doctor’s office and I’ll bet you’ll walk out with an NSAID (Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).

You’re probably nodding your head and saying: “been there…done that”…and I bet you’re still in pain! Do you know why? Because NSAIDs are ultimately ineffective in beating arthritis!

Yes, they mask the pain for a little while–but they don’t ever get to the root of the problem. What temporary relief you do find can come at a great cost. For starters, they can damage your liver and kidneys and induce gastrointestinal bleeding. Plus, they can actually make your arthritis worse by damaging your cartilage!

And all that suffering is needless!

 

I’ll tell you about an amazing compound that goes well beyond reducing arthritis pain. It can actually repair and rebuild damaged joints, and, in effect, help to reverse arthritis– without side effects!

So the question returns, more emphatic than ever:

If these cures are so wonderful, what keeps them away from the American people? Why is it happening?

Alas, your health is BIG business!

The main reason why natural, cutting-edge cures are doomed to remain the privilege of the very lucky few is because the mainstream medical establishment and the big drug manufacturers make sure of that.

No, it’s not a conspiracy. It’s just that hundreds of billions of dollars are at stake. Like it or not, your health happens to be a huge business and the “big boys” of the establishment play hard ball, and they play for keeps.

Think about it for a moment: The most powerful drug makers in the world have invested hundreds of millions to create a number of anti- cholesterol drugs. These drugs are only partially effective and are laden with serious side effects.

So, you tell me: Why would those drug makers let anyone tell you that you can lower your cholesterol–without any side effects–by eating about 4 cents worth of…simple onion a day?

You have the right to know about all these breakthroughs today and make your own decisions. After all, it’s your life!

And this is why Health Sciences Institute, or HSI, was created.

Some of the most brilliant medical minds
on earth got together, because you have
the right to know NOW!

 

The obstacles that stand in the way of pioneering natural medical research scientists are immense. Dedicated researchers who wish to bring you breakthrough, life-saving, natural cures find their ways all but completely blocked.

…they face the scorn of the establishment and interest groups

…they face the financial pressure of drug makers (who, by the way, monitor almost all pharmacies and know almost to a “t” exactly how many prescriptions each doctor writes for their products. They actually call “underperforming” doctors to task!)

…they’re made to face suffocating, endless red tape

…they’re blocked at every step by out-of-control regulators

Traditionally, most of them just gave up…until now.

Now, for the first time ever, instead of throwing their hands up in frustration, a world-wide group of brilliant doctors and scientists did the unthinkable. They got together.

Pioneers of revolutionary medicine–from aging and allergies to cancer and heart disease–realized that with a combined voice they could get their discoveries to light–and bring them to you.

This is why they joined Health Sciences Institute–a unique members-only organization that’s dedicated to doing one thing: breaking the barriers big-money medicine has placed before revolutionary natural cures–and bringing breakthrough information on those cures to you RIGHT NOW!! No more waiting.

As a result, the Health Sciences Institute has become one of the world’s most important and revolutionary sources for cutting-edge medical information. Unlike anything before it, HSI doesn’t represent the opinion of a single, self-appointed “guru,” but contains the unmatched combined wisdom of the world’s most formidable medical minds.

And, as you’ll find ahead, Health Sciences Institute doesn’t just tell you about a new therapy–it also tells you where to get it, recommended dosages, what results you may reasonably expect, and how quickly.

 

HSI does all this through a monthly publication called the Health Sciences Institute Members Alert.

Almost overnight, the clear and easy-to-read HSI Members Alert , has become a legend in the alternative medical industry as the quintessential source for cutting-edge medical discoveries.

Chapter 1

How many people died in vain while this billion-dollar drug maker concealed the secret of the
miraculous Graviola tree?

 

If there ever was a single example that makes it dramatically clear why the existence of Health Sciences Institute is so vital to Americans like you, it’s the incredible story behind the Graviola tree.

The truth is stunningly simple: Deep within the Amazon Rainforest grows a tree that could literally revolutionize what you, your doctor, and the rest of the world thinks about cancer treatment and chances of survival. The future has never looked more promising.

Research shows that with extracts from this miraculous tree it now may be possible to…

  • Attack cancer safely and effectively with an all-natural therapy that does not cause extreme nausea, weight loss and hair loss
  • Protect your immune system and avoid deadly infections
  • Feel stronger and healthier throughout the course of the treatment
  • Boost your energy and improve your outlook on life

The source of this information is just as stunning: It comes from one of America’s largest drug manufacturers, the fruit of over 20 laboratory tests conducted since the 1970’s! What those tests revealed was nothing short of mind numbing… Extracts from the tree were shown to:

  • Effectively target and kill malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreatic cancer.
  • The tree compounds proved to be up to 10,000 times stronger in slowing the growth of cancer cells than Adriamycin, a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug!
  • What’s more, unlike chemotherapy, the compound extracted from the Graviola tree selectively hunts down and kills only cancer cells. It does not harm healthy cells!

The amazing anti-cancer properties of the Graviola tree have been extensively researched–so why haven’t you heard anything about it? If Graviola extract is as half as promising as it appears to be–why doesn’t every single oncologist at every major hospital insist on using it on all his or her patients?

The spine-chilling answer illustrates just how easily our health–and for many, our very lives(!)–are controlled by money and power.

Graviola–the plant that worked too well

 

One of America’s biggest billion-dollar drug makers began a search for a cancer cure and their research centered on Graviola, a legendary healing tree from the Amazon Rainforest.

Various parts of the Graviola tree–including the bark, leaves, roots, fruit and fruit-seeds–have been used for centuries by medicine men and native Indians in South America to treat heart disease, asthma, liver problems and arthritis. Going on very little documented scientific evidence, the company poured money and resources into testing the tree’s anti-cancerous properties–and were shocked by the results. Graviola proved itself to be a cancer-killing dynamo.

But that’s where the Graviola story nearly ended.

The company had one huge problem with the Graviola tree–it’s completely natural, and so, under federal law, not patentable. There’s no way to make serious profits from it.

 

It turns out the drug company invested nearly seven years trying to synthesize two of the Graviola tree’s most powerful anti-cancer ingredients. If they could isolate and produce man-made clones of what makes the Graviola so potent, they’d be able to patent it and make their money back. Alas, they hit a brick wall. The original simply could not be replicated. There was no way the company could protect its profits–or even make back the millions it poured into research.

As the dream of huge profits evaporated, their testing on Graviola came to a screeching halt. Even worse, the company shelved the entire project and chose not to publish the findings of its research!

Luckily, however, there was one scientist from the Graviola research team whose conscience wouldn’t let him see such atrocity committed. Risking his career, he contacted a company that’s dedicated to harvesting medical plants from the Amazon Rainforest and blew the whistle.

Miracle unleashed

 

When researchers at the Health Sciences Institute were alerted to the news of Graviola, they began tracking the research done on the cancer-killing tree. Evidence of the astounding effectiveness of Graviola–and its shocking cover-up–came in fast and furious…

…The National Cancer Institute performed the first scientific research in 1976. The results showed that Graviola’s “leaves and stems were found effective in attacking and destroying malignant cells.” Inexplicably, the results were published in an internal report and never released to the public

…Since 1976, Graviola has proven to be an immensely potent cancer killer in 20 independent laboratory tests, yet no double-blind clinical trials–the typical benchmark mainstream doctors and journals use to judge a treatment’s value–were ever initiated…

…A study published in the Journal of Natural Products, following a recent study conducted at Catholic University of South Korea stated that one chemical in Graviola was found to selectively kill colon cancer cells at “10,000 times the potency of (the commonly used chemotherapy drug) Adriamycin…”

 

…The most significant part of the Catholic University of South Korea report is that Graviola was shown to selectively target the cancer cells, leaving healthy cells untouched. Unlike chemotherapy, which indiscriminately targets all actively reproducing cells (such as stomach and hair cells), causing the often devastating side effects of nausea and hair loss in cancer patients.

…A study at Purdue University recently found that leaves from the Graviola tree killed cancer cells among six human cell lines and were especially effective against prostate, pancreatic and lung cancers…

Seven years of silence broken–it’s finally here!

 

A limited supply of Graviola extract, grown and harvested by indigenous people in Brazil, is finally available in America.

Chapter 2

There’s absolutely no reason
in the world you should suffer
from arthritis! None!

This new remedy may be just a small addition in a long line of major recent discoveries, but the relief it offers arthritics is nothing short of revolutionary. In fact, we have never seen anything even remotely like it before…

Until now. Our research has uncovered a completely safe and natural food extract that may be the most powerful anti-inflammatory compound ever discovered.

“I appreciate your newsletter. I love reading honest, informational issues on health. You are helping everyone become a more knowledged individual in this muddled world”

– Leslie M.

The new discoveries, glucosamine and chondroitin, may be hard to pronounce, but they spell amazing relief and hope because they’ve opened the door to what was once unthinkable: possible reversal of arthritis!

These compounds, however, fail to provide arthritis sufferers with a few important benefits needed badly: pain relief and reduction of inflammation.

These are bigger problems than you might think. You see, the NSAID painkillers arthritis sufferers habitually take (such as ibuprofen) do more harm than just wreak havoc on the stomach and kidneys. They can actually make arthritis worse.

The second shortcoming of glucosamine and chondroitin is that they leave a major hole in coverage when applied to rheumatoid arthritis. They don’t prevent inflammatory compounds from invading and destroying the joints.

Fortunately, there’s been a surprising discovery…

Both types of arthritis pain vanish!
“Miracle food” shrinks swollen joints!

A leading researcher from Australia had spent his life studying the world’s strongest arthritis drugs, and this new discovery surprised even him when just a small dose shrank inflamed joints by 93 to 97 percent! This could make drugs appear almost obsolete…

Next he benchmarked it against a standard rheumatoid arthritis drug, indomethicin. The new discovery easily trounced this dangerous drug with none of the harsh side effects.

“I am also very grateful to have found HSI!! I find that I want alternative solutions to health problems. Conventional medicine has its place. With all of their technology, they can diagnose illnesses with great accuracy, but as far as curing any type of serious condition such as heart disease and cancer, their treatments are not effective, and at best, may or may not extend a person’s life for only a short time.”

– Mary R.

According to another researcher from Australia, we’re looking at “a very major breakthrough.” That’s because this new miracle shuts down a “pain highway” in your body–preventing the chain reaction that stokes the fires of all kinds of inflammation– including both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis.

Researchers call this “the 5-lipoxygenase pathway.” It’s practically the Rosetta Stone of pain and inflammation that drug companies have spent billions trying, but no one’s been able to crack it. The only drugs that have shown any hope proved too poisonous to take. So what is this miraculous medicine? Well, it’s not a medicine…but a gourmet delicacy.

On the beautiful coastline of New Zealand lives the green-lipped mussel. The native Maori who live there believe that eating the green-lipped mussel leads to a long and healthy life. And they are right; Coastal Maori hardly ever get any kind of arthritis even as they age, living well into their 70s, 80s, and 90s,arthritis-free.

But now you can share in this miracle without resigning yourself to a diet of green-lipped mussels. Because scientists have now homed in on the molecule in this mussel that does the magic. It’s totally natural and is it powerful. Even a minute amount blows the doors off ibuprofen and aspirin, and it’s 200 times stronger than the next-best natural remedy.

Maybe you’ve heard that fish oil can relieve arthritis inflammation? It does a good job, but when they tested the very highest potency fish oil supplement against this “mussel molecule”…the mussel extract worked 200 times better.

The result is a product that brings incredible pain relief–and with it, freedom to move again–without harmful side- effects. No other arthritis treatment can do that.

Health Sciences Institute was among the first to learn about this new product. And, HSI was able to obtain an unprecedented commitment by the manufacturer to reserve a block of the first available shipment exclusively for HSI members–so they all had first dibs!

What manufacturers of
cholesterol-lowering drugs
desperately don’t want you to know!

The following facts regarding anti- cholesterol drugs were reported at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association:

1. For most people, these drugs don’t work! An alarming study of 5,600 patients using cholesterol-lowering drugs revealed that a full 62% did not reach their target levels at all.

2. The side effects are horrendous. These include liver toxicity, muscle cramps, nausea, heartburn and hair loss. Quite a price to pay for something that might not even work.

“Thank you for standing up and speaking forth the truth. I appreciate you and all those who are associated with you in faithfully laboring for the freedom of our rights to know what is going on in the medical fields! Our prayers are with you all. Keep up the good work!.”

–Robert L.

3. Anti-cholesterol drugs diminish your mental capacity! Doctors who studied adults using cholesterol-lowering drugs found that the medications are “making their patients stupid”–literally! After just six months of use, the study group showed a marked decline in their mental sharpness as well as their attention span.

There is a very good reason why you’ve most likely heard nothing about this. The manufacturers of those drugs use their financial clout to make sure you never will. But that’s not the worst of it.

Despite these disturbing findings, the drug makers are now promoting these drugs for patients with normal cholesterol levels, too!

Luckily, as a member of Health Sciences Institute you’ll never be a mere pawn in the hands of the drug- makers lobby. Readers of the HSI Members Alert already know they have a much better choice. They already know there is something that can lower LDL (bad) cholesterol levels better than any drug…without side effects.

60 times more effective than vitamin E!

It’s a new vitamin, called tocotrienol. I’m sure you’ve heard that vitamin E can lower your risk of heart disease. What you heard is true–with a “but”…

Not all vitamin E supplements are created equal. In fact, the form of vitamin E sold most widely in stores (alpha-tocopherol) is about the least effective of them all!

So, you may be buying vitamin E regularly…taking the pills religiously…and you might as well be taking sugar pills for all the good it does you. Tocotrienol, however, is different. Very different.

You may already know what antioxidants do. As part of the process of keeping your body alive, the red blood cells deliver oxygen to all your body’s cells. The oxygen is “packed” inside the red blood cells bound chemically to their iron molecules. During the process, some unattached oxidative particles are released into the bloodstream. These are called “free radicals.” These particles attack the walls of your arteries and nick and chafe them. Cholesterol molecules now have a foothold to grab onto. The cholesterol build-up is called plaque and the result is heart disease. Antioxidants, such as vitamin E, neutralize the free radicals.

Tocotrienol is sixty times more potent an antioxidant as the most potent vitamin E you could possibly find. But it does even more than that.

It helps reduce the “clumping” in your blood. It reduces the “stickiness” of the platelets, that leads to the hardening of the arteries, blood clots and strokes…and without any harmful side effects!

Just how “for real” is this new vitamin E? Doctors who read the Health Sciences Institute Members Alert are using tocotrienols on themselves to help prevent heart attacks!

Dr. Randall Wilkinson reports, “I started taking two capsules a day. Thirty days later my LDL cholesterol dropped 23%…I was astonished!”

This new super vitamin E is out now and the Health Sciences Institute has arranged for members to have direct access. You’ll find the full details in your FREE Urgent Health Alert Library report New Breakthroughs Against Heart Disease and Stroke.

Tocotrienol is a perfect example of why it’s so important you read the Health Sciences Institute Members Alert every month:

The drug companies will never admit the truth about the shortcomings of their products. And, if you think there’s little they can do to prevent people from knowing, think again. When they talk, Washington and the advertising-starved media listen.d an alternative to aspirin therapy, too!!

Millions take an aspirin a day as a blood-thinning regimen. For many, however, this benefit is hard to stomach. Aspirin is known to cause stomach irritation.

On top of all the above benefits, tocotrienol will do the same job as aspirin does–but without any stomach irritation! Talk about panacea!

And your doctor, more times than not, is far too busy seeing as many patients as he can to really keep on top of things. Regretfully, far too many doctors succumb to the intense pressure–from peers and from the drug companies–to tow the line and not make waves. You have to be very brave to stand up to the medical establishment.

Now, you can be sure you’re receiving information that’s cutting edge…reliable AND has your best intentions at heart–by joining the prestigious ranks of the Health Sciences Institute membership.

Doctors and laymen alike know they can trust the Health Sciences Institute Members Alert to cover all areas with utmost depth and accuracy. They know it because the Health Sciences Institute doesn’t rely on a single “guru” doctor who hasn’t seen a patient in years. Instead, HSI draws upon the priceless wisdom of an entire panel of renowned experts, the very leaders of medical research in the world, and doctors using these very breakthroughs in their practices.

Month after month, as an HSI member, you’ll become privy to brilliant, life-saving discoveries years before they ever become general knowledge. In case after case, as an exclusive member of HSI, you’ll have access to information on remedies (that most Americans don’t even know exist) that will give you the tools to propel your health, energy, and joy of living to heights you never dreamed possible.

Chapter 4

Slash 20 years off your age!

You mean increase muscle mass?…
Bolster endurance?…
Supercharge sexual response?…
Melt off body fat?…
Restore hair growth?…Slash LDL cholesterol?…
Bolster immune system?…Improve skin texture and regain elasticity?

Remarkable…unthinkable…but a resounding “Yes!!”

As mind boggling as it may sound, getting older is natural–but aging is not!

Practically every cell in your body regenerates every seven years or so. All the mechanisms that made you grow are still in place. We think aging is normal. But, as more and more longevity research confirms, aging is actually a correctable malfunction!

You’ve surely read many articles about new supplements that help retard the aging process, but the general media is actually way, way behind the news. Retarding the process is one thing. But the latest discoveries already show how you can actually reverse your biological age and become physically younger–with complete safety–today!

The great teasing fountain of youth

You’ve probably seen hundreds of books and articles about such fashionable “youth” hormones as DHEA and melatonin, but the truth is that these popular supplements are but minor players in the emerging field of longevity medicine.

While useful and effective, these hormones pale to insignificance when compared to the “great tease” of the longevity study field: Human Growth Hormone (HGH). The story has more twists and turns than a great detective novel, but the result is well worth the wait.

First, there was the promise–or the tease, if you will…

Human Growth Hormone (HGH), also known as somatotropin, is produced in the pituitary gland on orders from the hypothalamus gland.

HGH holds the key to the aging process. It stimulates the growth and maintenance of bone tissue and muscle mass. It also facilitates the repair of damaged DNA within the cell as well as proper cell division. Low levels of HGH contribute to faster aging while high levels of HGH slow the aging process and even reverse it.

Dr. Daniel Rudman, a noted longevity researcher, stunned the world by reporting the results of his experiments with Human Growth Hormone in The New England Journal of Medicine. He injected HGH into a study group of 12 elderly men and managed to reverse their biological age “by 10 to 20 years.”

Dr. Rudman administered HGH to his group three times a week for six months. During that period, Dr. Rudman has recorded a reduction of their body fat by an average of 14 percent, while lean muscle mass increased by almost 9 percent. Their skin grew measurably thicker and more youthful looking and they reported more energy and an increased sex drive.

Then came the disappointment

During the seventh month of injections several subjects developed debilitating carpal tunnel syndrome. Others developed severe arthritis, high blood pressure, congestive heart disease, and diabetic-like conditions.

“I love your attitude, I love your spirit, and I totally appreciate the work you do in helping to keep us all informed.”

– Sheryl W.

Although the side effects diminished when the drug was discontinued–so did the benefits. An even greater fear was that unleashing a stimulated cell growth would also disarm the body’s mechanism that prevents uncontrolled cell division, unleashing tumors and cancer. HGH seemed like a dead end because of the side effects, so Dr. Rudman stopped the study. But, by that time, there was no stuffing the genie back into the bottle.

Dr. Rudman’s research unleashed worldwide HGH research. Studies conducted at every corner of the globe proved beyond doubt both sides of Dr. Rudman’s findings. HGH is for real. It really works–and it’s really dangerous.

But, for some, the promise of a “youth injection” is too alluring. Even today, there are physicians in America who “specialize” in HGH anti-aging medicine. They will provide it to those who can afford it, for around $1,000 a month.

For most people, however, it seemed as if HGH was just another wistful “fountain of youth” pipe dream…but NOT anymore! The HGH story actually has a happy ending. A brilliant way has been found to employ the amazing rejuvenating power of HGH without any of the dangers.

Here’s the full story.

Somatopause: The stunning discovery

For a very long time the medical world assumed that the production of growth hormone in the body naturally decreased over the years. And the only way to get the hormone level up again was the risky and extremely expensive injection of HGH.

But now, a groundbreaking presentation by Dr. James Jamison and Dr. L. E. Dorman before the American College for the Advancement of Medicine in 1997 shattered that myth. And it opened the road to real, affordable–and safe–age reversal to everyone who wishes it.

What Dr. Jamison and Dr. Dorman found was that the production of HGH in the body does not decline over the years. The body continues to produce abundant quantities of HGH well into one’s 90s (unless one suffers from a pituitary gland disorder). What declines is the body’s efficiency in releasing the HGH it produces.

What doctors Jamison and Dorman discovered was that lower levels of HGH over the years are not “normal” but, rather, a malfunction! This malfunction is called somatopause. It’s a condition under which the body gradually loses its ability to rejuvenate itself the way it should.

Getting old is NOT normal!

This groundbreaking research concluded that if a way was found to allow the body to release its own HGH, aging would halt automatically. There is no need to inject HGH into the body at all.

Similarly, it was proven that, while foreign Human Growth Hormone was potentially dangerous, the body’s own natural HGH was completely safe. So, if there was a way to unleash the body’s own natural HGH, there will be no side effects or risks involved. And that way was found.

Finally: The end of aging

Dr. Jamison and Dr. Dorman have concentrated their efforts on natural substances called secretagogues. These substances reverse the decline in the body’s ability to release its own HGH. They have identified several natural compounds that, working together, enhance the body’s production, release and utilization of HGH.

The result of their research was a compound that includes specific amino acids, proteins, and botanical extracts. This compound stimulates receptors in the pituitary and hypothalamus glands and help release the body’s own sequestered stores of growth hormone.

The results were stunning. A study that included 36 people has shown that the new compound exceeds the benefits of HGH injections…without side effects OR the $1,000 a month price tag!

Researchers measured the HGH levels in the group participants’ blood and their numbers where overwhelming. HGH levels in the blood rose a whopping 30% naturally over a period of 12 weeks. But the study participants themselves required no academic data to tell them this amazing compound was working.

After as little as four weeks all the study participants reported improved energy, endurance and body composition. After eight weeks the participants reported new hair growth, restoration of hair color and improved skin texture. And there were no reported side effects whatsoever!

J. M., Louisville, KY

“I’m 70 years old and feel as I did at least back in my 30s.”

“After about a month of taking the treatment, without making any other changes in my lifestyle; I noticed my body was responding so much better. My allergies, eyes, nostrils, breathing, energy levels and thinking ability all improved. Every day I had that top-of-the-world healthy feeling. I’m 70 years old and feel as I did at least back in my 30’s. My movements and abilities to perform have returned to youthful levels.”



L. B. NV

“Goodbye high blood pressure!”

“Before taking the treatment I had been on blood pressure medication for years. After taking it for only 2-3 weeks, I was able to stop taking my blood pressure medication. My blood pressure is now normal.”



L. G. Banning, CA

“So long arthritis pain!”

“I am 81 years old, and before I started taking the the treatment I was experiencing arthritis pain and low energy. I have tried many other products that claim to do the same thing but none of them ever worked. After one month of taking the treatment, I noticed a decrease in my arthritic pain and have a lot more energy. I actually want to get out and work instead of just lay around the house.”

 The miraculous compound is here. It’s available, and you can start looking forward to fabulous rejuvenation you never thought possible. Imagine being able to:

Regular Health Mistakes

July 20, 2008 · Leave a Comment

All of us make  little health mistakes that cause damage to our bodies in the long run –  simply because we are unaware we are doing something wrong. Here are some of  the most common mistakes made by many of us.

Crossing our  legs

Do you cross  your legs at your  knees when sitting? Although we may believe that this is the  lady-like elegant  way to sit, sitting this way cuts down circulation to your legs. If you don’t  want varicose veins to mar the beauty of your legs  and compromise your  health,uncross your legs every time you realise you have one knee on top of the  other. The best way to sit is to simply place both legs together on the  floor, balancing your weight equally.

If you feel like changing position, instead of crossing your legs, simply move both legs together to one side. As an alternative, you could also consider crossing your legs loosely at the ankles. This is  a classically elegant  way to sit, and is far better for your legs and  your health than  sitting with your legs  crossed at your knees.

Not changing our  toothbrush

How often do  you change your toothbrush? Most of  us wait until most of the bristles have  either fallen off, or are in such bad  shape that we’d be embarrassed to pull out our brush in public. However,since not many of us need to pull out our  brush in public, we carry on with our  frayed one until we lose it. Replace your  toothbrush often. Damaged  bristles can harm the enamel, and don’t massage your gums well.

If you find brushing your teeth a pain like I do, but know  you must do it, you  might as well be  doing it right. Imagine going through the  annoyance of brushing your teeth twice a  day only to find out that you’re damaging your enamel every time you clean your teeth. Also, use a brush with soft bristles unless your dentist has advised  otherwise.

Eating out  often

There are oils  that are high in  cholesterol, and oils that cause
little harm and are better  for your heart.  However, no matter how  light the oil is, it is never a good idea to  eat too much of it.  Avoid fried foods.Remember that in all probability your favorite Indian food restaurant throws a huge, HUGE chunk of butter in a tiny bowl of dal. Rita,  who worked in the kitchen of a 5 star hotel, was shocked when she saw the cook  chop a 500gm butter slab in half, and throw half into a Paneer Makhani dish.  No wonder the  customers left licking their fingers. And no wonder they felt  so stuffed and heavy
afterwards. Limit outdoor eating unless you know that you’re getting served light and healthy food.


Skipping  breakfast

Never, ever  skip breakfast. Remember, when you wake up in the morning it’s been  around 10-12 hours since your last meal. Your body needs  food now, more than at  any other time. Eat a heavy breakfast. You will then be busy through the day,  and the calories will get expended quickly. If you are trying to diet, eat a  light dinner. Here are some more  common health mistakes we make.  Being informed and making a few changes can help make us feel a whole lot  better.

High  heels
High heels sure  look great, but they’re  murder for your back. This  however doesn’t mean you should steer clear of  stilettos. Wear them,but not when you know you will be walking around a lot. Wear  them when going out for lunch or dinner –  when the only walking you will be  doing is to your car, to the table, and back. Avoid high heels when you are  going somewhere on foot. If you are constantly tempted to wear your heels, take a good look at your flats.

Is there something about them you dislike? Invest  in a new pair of beautiful flats or shoes with a low heel. Buy something you  love, that you will enjoy wearing. If possible, get a matching bag. You will  then enjoy your flats as  much as you do your heels.

Sleeping on a soft  bed

You don’t have  to sleep on the floor be kind to your back,  but do make sure you have a firm  mattress. Although a mattress on springs is soft and lovely to sink into, it’s bad for your back. If you already have an old bed with springs, you don’t need to invest in a new one – simply get a thick wooden plank put over the springs, and place the mattress on the plank.  

Similarly, if your mattress is  old and lumpy, throw it out and get a new one. Your  neck and your back will thank you. The same rule applies to sofas. If  you will be spending  hours on a sofa, get a firm yet comfortable one. Sofas you completely sink into are not the best idea.

Pillows

No matter how  comfortable sleeping with ten cushions is, have pity on your neck and resist.  Sleep with one pillow, and make sure it is not too thick.  If your pillow gets lumpy, discard it and go for a new one. Get a thin pillow  if you sleep on your stomach, and something a little thicker if you sleep on  your back, to give your neck adequate  support.


Not  exercising

So all of us  know we should exercise more, but many of us don’t. This is a  health mistake we consciously make! And why is that? Simply because we refuse  to admit the damage we are causing to our bodies by not working out. A number of people  only start working out once they’ve experienced a warning signal.  Don’t wait for a heart attack to strike before you decide to opt for a lifestyle  change.

Make the change now. You don’t need to train for the marathon to be in  top shape. Half an hour of brisk walking three to four times a week will make a  world of difference to your health. You could then increase
this to forty  minutes, four times a week – and you’re all set. If you  haven’t  exercised for a week, you’re making a mistake.

cheers to Good Health…because Health is Wealth!
