Have A Cookie Toay

Have a cookie today. On a diet? Break it for a bit and have a cookie. Busy. Lots of work. Kids have guitar lessons later? Have a cookie today. Not just any cookie, you absolute favorite. And one more caveat . . . take at least 5 minutes to eat it, regardless of the size. Take more if you wish, but at the minimum, 5 minutes. Sounds silly? Maybe, but I bet most of you are smiling as you read this. You are also learning a lot too.

Trace Minerals: My Contribution to Running

Few feelings are better than knowing your work in a given area has made a contribution to others. I wanted to make a difference in the world of running and knew it would not happen via my legs. Fortunately, my career choice was an ideal vehicle. Twenty five years ago, I started incorporating nutrition into my practice -- vitamins, minerals, herbs and also trace minerals. The latter was rarely mentioned in the field of nutrition, mostly a side note. "Oh by the way. . .trace minerals should be used to. . . whenever you get around it to" was the pervading idea of the day.

Massage: Is It Really Worth It?

You know you like it. You know you want to. But do you really need it? IF you are active, the answer is a booming YES. IF you are not active. . . get active. And the answer is still a booming YES. Everyone loves a good massage. It is so relaxing and refreshing. Some know about at least a percentage of the tremendous benefits it has on the human body. For example: Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles. Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts. Improve the condition of the body’s largest organ—the skin.r

Is My Life Worth It?

It always seems to start about 2 weeks or so before a birthday that has at least the number 4 as the first number. Is my life worth it? Have I really accomplished anything? Am I making any difference? These are typically spoken more as declarative statements versus questions. A bit of desperation blended with a dash of self-loathing are the ingredients in this amalgamation disguised as questions. The more the question is asked, the fewer the answers come forth and the darker the feelings get.

The Anti Aging Movement

Fifteen years ago, we started researching and testing anti aging formulas. We tested high dose amino acid formulas and found them effective in the short run and very problematic in the medium and long run (amino sequence problems; deficiencies etc.). We tested homeopathic formulas and found them to be outright dangerous. We tested, tested and retested and finally came up with a formula that would eventually be named Hgh Plus.

Avoiding the Trap of Self Pity

You don’t always get it right. I don’t always get it right. We make mistakes and fail at times. It is a natural, albeit annoying part of life. And it feels poorly. Who am I kidding. . . .it is horrible! Depending upon the situation, it is either disappointing or gut-wrenchingly crushing. It cannot be avoided.

Do Sports Make You Smarter?

Can sports make you smarter? According to a recent study, the answer is a resounding YES. Researchers at the U of Granada compared subjects who participated in sports versus sedentary people. Those who played sports --regardless of the sport - exhibited better cognitive performance and reaction time as compared to the sedentary individuals. In addition, active people had longer attention spans and better memories. Sport, according to the researchers, also helps promote the growth of nerves and blood cells in the brain, while preventing neuro-degeneration.

Creating Endless Possibilities

The art of Shodo provides blunt feedback. You prepare the ink by placing water inside the suzuri (used for grinding the ink and mixing it with water), grind it with a sumi (ink stick) and over time, create the ink. Depending upon how hard you grind it and length of time will dictate the quality and color of the ink. You place the shitajiki (usually felt sheet that is placed under the paper to absorb the ink) under the paper. You prepare the fude (brushes) and of course during this whole time, you prepare you mind, body and spirit for the task ahead.

The Lessons I Learn From Real Estate Investing

About a decade ago, I make a major decision to purchase an investment home. The reason was to have my money make money, or so I told myself. The real reason was because everyone was doing it and I fell into the Trap. The Trap is a societal "black hole" that pulls you into what is hot at the moment. In this case, real estate was THE thing to do and unfortunately, I was sucked into its orbit. Ten years later and it was been a learning experience. This is a nice way of saying it has been horrible. Nevertheless, there are some major lessons I learned. Here are a few:

Improving your Brain. . .While Burning Fat

You undoubtedly know already that high(er) intensity training burns fat very well. Not only will it burn fat during the time you are training but has an "after effect" known as EPOC. This means that the body will continue to burn fat throughout the course of the day. Any side effects? Yes. You will build muscle in the process, provide you are training correctly and getting the proper nutrition. (If you are unsure, set up a "Doctor's Visit on CD" session with me and find out)

If I Only Had A Pause Button

If I only had a pause button, I would have gotten blisters on my thumb this holiday season. If I only had a pause button, I would have used it for this past Thanksgiving. I have so much to be grateful for, from my family to my health and countless factors in between. That day was truly a celebratory day, one which gratitude and appreciation were the stars of the show. A feast at the Brown Derby highlighted the evening. If I had a pause button, I would have used it. I did not want the joy to end.

One Inch Vision

To me, the biggest difference between a good teacher and a great one is not the number of hours spent honing their craft, though this is a factor. It is not the numbers of degrees or awards they have accumulated. This is impressive, but not the prime consideration. The major difference between a good teacher and a great teacher is one inch vision.

Dancing With The Tao

For a large portion of my life, I have been an end-product oriented kind of guy. Success or failure was defined by the end results, period. If the end result was what I wanted, all was well. If not, it was considered a disaster. I “failed” at baseball, having only made it to the college level. Never mind, the fact that I met so many wonderful people who had a most favorable impact on my life. This was insignificant. I “succeeded” at martial arts, having accumulated 3 black belts. . .the same black belts that are now collecting dust somewhere. So the story goes.

A Must Read if You Drink Tea

Hot for coffee, boiling for tea? That has always been the suggestion passed down from generation to generation. There is more to it than that though. Different teas perform best at different temperatures; that is, you will reap the great rewards in terms of health benefits and taste if you follow the guidelines below. Anti cancer compounds increase with brewing over time is one of the many examples. Heat is needed to extract them from the tea, but they are “hyper-sensitive” to overheating.

Comments About Japan from My Shodo Sensei

I have the great honor of taking Shodo (Japanese calligraphy) from one of the best teacher of any subject I have ever encountered. In addition to learning this fascinating subject, I have learned a great deal about the Japanese culture, language, unique topics such as Kotodama and mostly, learned a lot about myself. Izumi san is a true fine artist at heart. Aside from exquisite skills, her manner of speaking is a blend of philosophy and poetry. That is what happens when you follow your Tao, your way and speak from the heart.

This System is THE Key to Strong Immunity and Longevity

Along with balancing hormones such as hGH, a major key to health and longevity is the lymphatic system. The lymphatic system is an extensive network of capillary vessels that transports the interstitial fluid of the body as lymph to the venous blood circulation. The lymph is the almost colorless fluid, containing chiefly white blood cells, that is collected from the tissues of the body and transported in this system. The lymphatic system is probably the least known of all of the systems in the body but is certainly one of the most important. Why?

Women and the Dangers of Fasting

“Addicted to the rapid weight loss, some woman are taking this new diet craze to dangerous extremes. Women who do these juice cleanses can, and do, die from heart problems.” This is the conclusion of Dr. Oz, based upon recently published studies. In a juice cleanse, you eat no food, just fruit or vegetable juices for a few days or weeks. The extreme low-calorie diet results in fast weight loss, but Dr. Oz said it’s mostly water weight and muscle mass — something you definitely don’t want, since muscle is what keeps your metabolism fired up.

The Disaster of Eating 5-6 Meals Per Day

Be an electrician. It is easier. . . . That was the advise of one of my first nutrition teachers. The reason he said is that so many people read a book, follow a twitter feed or pick up a magazine and now they are nutrition experts. At least with electricians, people are truthful. They know that they really don’t know and reading a book or the Electrician Blog may help, but it does not make them an expert. As a result of this, a number of ill-advised pieces of nutrition get circulated. One of the biggest disasters is the notion that we should be eating 5-6 smaller meals per day.

THE Key: Protein to Carb Ratio

The majority of people consume more carbohydrates than what is needed, and lack sufficient protein. Numerous studies show that even small increases in protein intake along with a lowering of carbs, helps a person become healthier and drop fat. When you look at the labels on foods, you will not that total number of grams of carbs and of proteins per serving. In many instances, the carbohydrates outweigh the protein. Often (and of great concern), the ratio is 8-10 to 1, carbs to protein.
