Are you getting your phytonutrients?
Phytonutrients (pronounced “fight-o-nutrients”), also called phytochemicals, are natural bioactive compounds found in fruits and vegetables that works together with vitamins, minerals, and fiber to promote good health.
The National Cancer Institute recommends eating at least 5 – 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. Other reputable sources recommend at least 9 servings for men, 7 servings for women, and 5 servings for children.
Research shows that fruits and vegetables are powerful defenders of our health. The research supporting a critical role for fruits and vegetables in good health grows stronger all the time. Scientists now agree that fruits and vegetables should be the foundation of a healthy diet. In addition to helping you feel better eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables can also help reduce your risk of many chronic diseases including cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, stroke and other diseases.
The sad part is that despite these benefits, only 10 percent of us are able to follow this advice. I for one, find it difficult to eat this many servings of fruit and vegetables on a consistent basis. For those of you in my situation, we are probably not consuming the necessary dosage of vitamins and minerals that our bodies need to stay healthy, unless we are taking some form of vitamin supplement. However, traditional vitamin supplements do not provide us with phytonutrients.
The bioactive functions of phytonutrients — or the way they work in your body — is an ongoing area of research. Some studies show that phytochemicals can:
Act as antioxidants
Stimulate detoxification enzymes
Stimulate the immune system
Positively affect hormones
Act as antibacterial or antiviral agents
Common Phytonutrients include carotenoids, coumarins, flavonoids, indoles, lignans, isoflavones (including genistein and daidzen) organosulfurs and phytosterols. Hundreds of other phytonutrients have been discovered, usually related to the color of fruits and vegetables — green, yellow-orange, red, blue-purple, and white.. This leads to the recommendation that you should eat fruits and vegetables of varied color each day.
Phytonutrient-rich foods:
red, green, yellow and orange vegetables (apricots, peaches, melons, squashes, sweet potatoes, yams, carrots, pumpkin)
cruciferous veggies (kale, broccoli)
dark leafy greens (spinach and romaine)
fruits (citrus and berries)
flaxseeds
whole grains and legumes
garlic and leeks
soybeans
green teas and other herbal teas
Get to know phytonutrients.... it pays well to know about them... for a healthier and happier you...

What are phyto-nutrients? Why is it gaining more attention?
Phyto-nutrients are naturally derived plant compounds.
The majority of physicians and other health professionals believe there is a clear association between a diet high in fruits and vegetables and a low risk of chronic disease. Phytonutrients (naturally derived plant compounds), particularly antioxidants, are increasingly being shown to help optimize human health.
0n the cusp of the millennium, researchers are busily uncovering a host of beneficial compounds in plant foods. While these phytonutrients aren't essential by traditional definitions, they apparently reduce risks of diseases of aging.
For example, the isoflavones in soy products may reduce the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, and several types of cancer. Certain flavonoids in blueberries may actually reverse nerve cell aging. And a wide array of compounds in fruits and vegetables may protect cell components against oxidative damage as well as vitamins C or E.
Indeed, cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer's disease may plague the middle-aged and elderly because of our limited knowledge of phytonutrients. Research in this arena, now less than two decades old, may relegate some of today's ills to the history books—joining scurvy and pellagra.
Phytonutrients have provided the impetus for plant and nutrition scientists to work together because foods will continue to be the primary source of these compounds. While a few visionary plant scientists have improved the nutritional quality of foods, breeders have focused on increasing yields or warding off insects or diseases too.

Cranberries, excellent free radical protection,normal cell growth, heart health and...
Cranberries can too prevent cellular stress.
Cranberries contain proanthocyanidins (PACs) that can prevent the adhesion of certain of bacteria, including E. coli, associated with urinary tract infections to the urinary tract wall. The anti-adhesion properties of cranberry may also inhibit the bacteria associated with gum disease and stomach ulcers.
Recent scientific research shows that cranberries and cranberry products contain significant amounts of antioxidants and other phytonutrients that may help protect against heart disease, cancer and other diseases.
Benefits Come in a Variety of FormsCranberries contain bacteria-blocking compounds that are believed to be helpful in preventing urinary tract infections, and scientists now think this same function may be useful in blocking the bacteria responsible for ulcers and certain oral bacteria that can lead to gum disease.
Current research indicates that approximately 10 ounces of cranberry juice cocktail is needed daily to achieve the bacteria-blocking benefits that ward off UTIs, ulcers and gum disease. You can get these benefits in an array of cranberry products. For round-the-clock protection, snack or cook with one of these products at least once a day.
Cranberries contained the most antioxidant phenols compared to 19 commonly eaten fruits. Cranberries are loaded with antioxidants and should be eaten more often. by Joe Vison, Ph.D., research chemist at the University of Scranton.
And best of all, you can get to consume cranberry concentrates from Double X.....
Oregano plant herb, another wonderful free radical protection found in Double X..
Picture delicious, warm pizza. Look closely and you’ll possibly notice tiny pieces of leaves in the rich, red tomato sauce. You probably never notice them, but they add an aroma and a zesty flavor, and research is underway to improve them.
The oregano plant has many uses for its oil or leaves, including enhancing breads, meats, chili, salad dressings, Italian and Mexican foods, cosmetics, pain relievers, fragrances and chewing gum. Pizza, however, is the food item commonly associated with oregano. The herb is often paired with garlic or other strong-flavored herbs.
This oregano herb protects from cellular stress and a good free radical protection and is needed for normal cell growth.
Rosemary plant, another great herb found in Double X..
Rosemary plant, a good antioxidantCan be used as a disinfectant, for headaches, fever, as a mouth wash and for rheumatism.
Externally it can be used in hair lotions a few drops of Rosemary oil massaged into the scalp then rinsed with an infusion of nettles can revitalise the hair. Used in this manner it supposed to prevent premature baldness. Rosemary is also supposed to stop dandruff.
Hungary water was first invented for a Queen of Hungry to 'renovate vitality of paralysed limbs'. It was used externally and is prepared by mixing 680g (1.5 lbs) of fresh rosemary tops in full flower into 3.75 litres (1gallon) of spirits of wine. Leave to stand for four days then distill. It is also supposed to work as a remedy against gout if rubbed vigorously on hands and feet.
For a tonic against headaches put some sprigs into a teapot add hot water strain and serve.
Traditionally rosemary is used to flavour meats such as, pork, lamb and veal use sparingly as it will overpower the taste and put some in before roasting and remove after.
A few sprigs of rosemary added to the tea pot makes a delicious drink, don't use milk and try with a bit of honey.
It is also excellent for free radical protection, protective enzymes and normal cell growth.
Sage plant - one of the food herbs that made up the 17 phytonutrients of Double X
The sage plant is a dense, upright bush about 2 to 3 feet in height. The stems are woody and square and the leaves are arranged oppositely on the stem. The plant is grown for its aromatic leaves, which are used as seasoning.
It is also extremely rich in phytonutrients. It is a free radical protection and protective to enzymes. A little of it goes a long way towards a healthier and happier you.

Sanctify all the limbs
of the body in selfless activity.
But it is not that easy to practise this
because there is always some self-interest in whatever man does.
Self-interest is also necessary,
but it should be within certain limits.
God is the ocean of bliss.
As is the size of your container,
so is the amount of water that you can collect from the ocean.
If you want to collect more bliss from the ocean of bliss,
i.e., God, you have to increase the size of the container,
which means you have to cultivate expansive love.
Expansive love is life and constricted love is death.
Foster love in you and share it with others.
Whatever you do, do it to satisfy God.
Only then will you find fulfilment in your work.
All your actions should be beneficial to others.
Only then can you win the friendship of God.

There's always a reason.....
There's a reason for everything occurring in your life,
for the tears, the sorrow, the pain, and the strife.
A reason that isn't always revealed to you and me,
but that God knows and cares is an absolute reality.
There's a reason the road isn't always smooth and straight,
a reason about which there's no debate.
The stumbling blocks will become stepping stones through faith,
if we but trust in God learning to wait.
The curves will reveal Blessings we couldn't see,
things more awesome than we dreamed would ever be.
Perhaps there are things we ask God to take;
in His great wisdom He knows that would be a mistake.
Sometimes His "No" is a Blessing in disguise,
because there is good in what we don't see or realize.
There'll be days when we feel all soul alone;
these are the days when our greatest faith must be shown.
We must learn to walk by faith not by what we feel or see,
remembering He is with us constantly.
We must remember that even when no one else understands,
God is forever busy shaping us in His hands.
One day soon we'll each be called Home to stay,
we want to "Well Done" to be the words we hear God say.
Each of us will have days that seem out of season,
we must remember if God allows it there's a reason.

Spend your time wisely..
We have our body, our mind, our emotion and our spirit to take care.... Remember that we cannot live forever. Good health is a must, when there is health, there is hope. When there is hope, we can have many things.
We ought to learn how to achieve all 4 dimensions of health. We should be in top condition physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. But ask yourself, are you healthy in all 4 dimensions? How much time do you spend on all these 4 levels of health? Are you really healthy and happy? Is your family healthy and happy too? Are you satisfied with their health condition? Is there something that you always worry about?
Too many people are busy at something that actually means nothing at the end of the day. Sad to say, many people live to regret. Time management is one great thing we have to master. Money management is important too. Try to be principle-centered, meaning to be able to divide time fairly.
One should not spend our time that eventually ends up to nothing. We should realize the importance of all 4 levels of health. Of course, it is never too late. Start from now..... All of us must be winners of this race, this health race. Look around to search for mentors.... mentors are teachers of life... and learn from them.....
Change is the only constant. If one do not strive to improve, one will sooner or later end up being left far behind.... believe me.... to achieve all 4 dimensions of health is never easy, but it pays well. You will be a healthier and a happier person in no time....
BEST OF ALL, YOU WON'T FEEL TIRED and left out!.....YOU WILL BE SO MUCH ENERGIZED AND BE GEARED TO MOVE ON...to achieve what you ought to achieve.... Don't wait, if we ourselves do not take the initiative to change, who else will?

If one lives only to fulfill his own desires, one will find it very difficult to find the pure love of God...
Give up all your selfishness,
and devotion is bound to arise.
The one that lives to fulfill his own desires,
will find it very difficult to find the pure love for the Supreme Mother.
The struggle is not
in developing pure love,
but it is in giving up that
which hinders the spontaneous flow of love
that you have brought with you, in you - in this world!
Faith, too, is not difficult to develop.
Faith is nothing but the expression of unshakable love.
Love is your nature, it is the purpose with which you come -
it is your only expression - hence, know,
My child, that in reality,
there is nothing to find -
nothing to develop - nothing to learn -
It is all you! See yourself! Realize your self!
And you will experience it all! The self realized soul,
My dear, can only explain God in so many words.
Even language becomes the barrier towards the end.
God cannot be explained - He can only be experienced.
God cannot be proven by the one that experiences Him.
The only proof that he can give
the deluded man is that of his peace,
his contentment and his stability.
Beyond that, one is helpless -
for one's own vision of Gods stays with himself.
Each one will experience the light in his own home -
each one will rejoice, alone - and each one will tell a separate story of God's glory!

Don't look back....
As you travel through life
there are always those times
When decisions just have to be made,
When the choices are hard,
and solutions seem scarce,
And the rain seems to soak your parade.
There are some situations
where all you can do
Is simply let go and move on,
Gather your courage and choose a direction
That carries you toward a new dawn.
So pack up your troubles and take a step forward -
The process of change can be tough,
But think about all the excitement ahead
If you can be stalwart enough!
There might be adventures you never imagined
Just waiting around the next bend,
And wishes and dreams just about to come true
In ways you can't yet comprehend!
Perhaps you'll find friendships
that spring from new things
As you challenge your status quo,
And learn there are so many options in life,
And so many ways you can grow!
Perhaps you'll go places
you never expected
And see things that you've never seen,
Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds
And wonderful spots in between!
Perhaps you'll find warmth
and affection and caring
And somebody special who's there
To help you stay centered and listen with interest
To stories and feelings you share.
Perhaps you'll find comfort
in knowing your friends
Are supportive of all that you do,
And believe that whatever decisions you make,
They'll be the right choices for you.
So keep putting one foot
in front of the other,
And taking your life day by day...
There's a brighter tomorrow
that's just down the road -Don't look back!
You're not going that way!

There is nothing you cannot do,

Nothing is mightier than the inner Will -
nothing can defeat it, not even death -
for it lives much beyond the body.
Do not be discouraged by
anticipating the fears of the future.
There is nothing that is constant in life,
My dear - change is what gives you stability, O child.
Change is not the challenge,
but in fact; it is the proof
of your constant awareness with the self.
Change can be experienced
only by the one that believes it
to threaten one's own existence as the self.
For the self, My dear, there is no change -
it's eyes of permanence will not see
nor believe in the teasing illusions of this world.
Hence, do not be teased by nature,
destiny, time, or circumstances, anymore.
Face them, and they will fade away like the dream that had no truth.

Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death.
Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, and faith looks up...
You'll notice that a turtle only makes progress when it sticks out its neck...
Standing in the middle of the road is dangerous. You will get knocked down by the traffic from both ways.
It is not difficult to make a mountain out of a molehill ………just add a little dirt.
The mighty oak tree was once a little nut that held its ground.
Too many people offer God prayers, with claw marks all over them.
The tongue must be heavy indeed, because so few people can hold it.
To forgive is to set the prisoner free, and then discover the prisoner was you.
The best way to get even is to forget.
It is okay to sit on your self - pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.
You are richer today if you have laughed, given, and forgiven.

sits upon the throne
and rules the kingdom of discrimination -

patience - Yes!
Patience that will relieve you
from immediate action and long term anxiety.
from a divine source...
the short outbursts drain
every bit of the inner strength
and will leave your discrimination completely
blinded by the release of its fury.
Stay calm -
regain every bit
of the self control
and only then,
react and respond.
Do not make haste,
for quick, unanalyzed steps will,
one day, make you fall in the pit of worries.
Know that there is
nothing that cannot wait.
Rise, My child, and with the strength of life,
capture the harsh words that seem
to be at the tip of the sharp tongue.
Time, My child,
holds the hands of patience -
wait with the hope that time
will bring you a new friend -
patience - Yes!
Patience that will relieve you
from immediate action and long term anxiety.

The one that throws mud on another too has the strain of its dirt...
Remember the one that throws mud on another, too, has the stain of its dirt on his own hands.
so, think twice before throwing 'mud' on just anyone...

Echinacea....beautiful flowers..
Beautiful pink flowers.... echineacia.... an excellent immune system booster..
Saturday, March 24, 2007
Echinacea, beautiful as a flower and best known for its immune enhancing ability..
Echinacea fragrant angel is the name of the above lovely flower.... .............
Also known as purple coneflower, echinacea is a member of the aster family (Asteraceae) and is native to North America. Common purple coneflower (Echinacea purpurea (L.) Moench. syn. Rudbeckia purpurea(L.) and narrow-leaved purple coneflower (E. angustifolia DC.) are the two major species grown commercially in Alberta, primarily as medicinal plants.
An extract from the roots is used to strengthen the human immune system and has recently gained popularity in the health food market. Echinacea plants have large, attractive flowers, are easy to grow, and can withstand high temperatures and humidities.
Healthy echinacea plants produce single, long-stalked, terminal flower heads up to 15 cm in diameter. As shown in Figure 1, the head has a prominent, cone-shaped centre of brownish-red disk flowers surrounded by petal-like, purple-rose ray flowers. The plants provide a profusion of showy blooms borne in succession for two months or more in late summer.
Echinacea is also grown as a garden ornamental and for cut flowers.
Echinacea is best known for its immune enhancing ability, but has proven very effective in many other areas as well.
Colds, coughs and flu and other upper respiratory conditions, enlarged lymph glands, sore throat, urinary tract infections and other minor infections, it also help combat herpes and candida, wounds, skin regeneration and skin infections (external use), psoriasis, eczema and inflammatory skin conditions (external use)
Echinacea stimulates the immune system and it promotes T-cell activation while it increases the activity of the immune system. It helps white blood cells attack germs and these effects may decrease if taken for more than a few weeks.
Echinacea is generally not recommended for use by people with diseases of the immune system such as HIV, multiple sclerosis, or tuberculosis. The German government recommends against using Echinacea if you have these conditions. Some researchers believe that Echinacea could actually worsen these immune system problems.
Even though there are some restrictions on taking Echinacea the benefits far outweigh the drawbacks.
Everything has originated from the Fundamental Principle..
A deep enquiry into
the principles of science
and spirituality will reveal
that the atom is the basis of everything in this world.
Even the food we eat,
the water we drink,
the air we breathe,
are all constituted by atoms.
But there is something
more subtle and fundamental
than even the atom.
Everything has originated
from the Fundamental Principle.
Instead of trying to
know the Fundamental Principle,
man is getting carried away by trivialities.
Subtler than the atom,
vaster than the cosmos,
Divinity is present
everywhere as the eternal witness.
Try to experience
the principle of the True Self
which transcends everything.
In order to experience the True Self,
you should pursue spiritual education

The trace mineral .... zinc
This trace mineral zinc is an essential mineral that is found in almost every cell. It stimulates the activity of approximately 100 enzymes, which are substances that promote biochemical reactions in our body.Zinc also supports a healthy immune system, is needed for wound healing and helps maintain our sense of taste and smell. It is also needed for DNA synthesis. It also supports normal growth and development during pregnancy, childhood and adolescence.
Zinc is found in a wide variety of foods. Oysters contain more zinc per serving than any other food. Red meat and poultry also contains zinc. Other good food sources include beans, nuts, certain seafood, whole grains, fortified breakfast cereals and dairy products.
Zinc deficiency most often occurs when it is inadequate or poorly absorbed. Signs of zinc deficiency include growth retardation, hair loss, diarrhea, delayed sexual maturation and impotence, eye and skin lesions, and loss of appetite.
It sometimes also cause weight loss, delayed healing of wounds, taste abnormalities and mental lethargy.
Zinc....... is a trace mineral, not too much, but a little goes a far way for a healthier and happier you.
Happiness is in the sharing...

How will anti-biotics harm our immune system?
Antibiotics destroy both harmful and friendly bacteria in our body. When these friendly bacteria are also destroyed, our immune system will be at stake since we need those friendly bacteria to support the body's immune system.
Antibiotics also increase the resistance of just any harmful bacteria that may happen to survive, thus they suppress the body's ability to produce its own natural antibiotics.
Antibiotics may be necessary for serious, life-threatening infections, but most of the antibiotics are simply prescribed for the sake of prescibing. The antibiotics developed over the last 30 years have not destroyed the source of diseases, but instead these diseases-causing microbes have mutated instead.
The mutated microbes when exposed to super drugs are now no longer fearing just any antibiotics. Even the most powerful drugs are nowadays finding themselves losing to those mutated microbes.
At the same time, all of us are are also exposed to consuming meats highly laced with antibiotics necessary for the survival of those animals, thus instead ending up in our own stomach. Steroids too are found in these meats that also attack our immune system.
There are certain natural occurring plant origins that can also replace antibiotics too. Studies have found Echinaecia, garlic and some herbs to work well as to boost the immune system too especially when one is down with a cold. Do look out for some natural remedies instead of using harmful antibiotics that brings more harm than cure.

Do you know what are those that will destroy our immune system?
The followings are those categorized that will destroy our immune system
[1] medical treatment that includes antibiotics, x-ray, vaccinations, chemotherapy
[2] unnecessary surgeries that includes removal of tonsils and the appendix, spleen removal
[3] harmful foods that includes sugar, fats and oils, fake foods
[4] an environment that has electromagnetic radiation, ionising radiation, ultraviolet radiation and polluted air with the increase of vehicle exhaust fumes
[5] disease-prone lifestyle that includes stress, alcohol, late nights, smoking
[6] chemicals that include dental fillings, cosmetics, plastics and paints, endocrine-disrupting chemicals and heavy metals in some polluted drinking water
These are just very brief 6 categorized sources where our immune system will be affected. Be writing more soon..

Know anything about our immune system?
Our immune system is our most potent and powerful weapon against AIDS, cancer, and many other common diseases. It is our most important body system. It has been working well inside our body ever since we are born.
Unfortunately, it is the most ignored aspect of human health because most people tend to ignore that we all have an inner healing system or I call it an inner doctor that heals us. Hopefully, all of us will be more aware that our body's immune system is the most important weapon in the fight against diseases.
Here are 3 points to understand:
[1] Only our body's own immune system, our inner healing system can manage to cure a disease
[2] Doctors and alternative medicine practitioners can only assist the body to do this
[3] Wholesome nutrients from natural food sources works better than drugs in strengthening the immune system and preventing us from getting sick
Our health depends on the strength of our immune system. Our immune system will very much affect many illnesses such as cancer, Alzheimer's Diseases, chronic fatigue, asthma, diabetes, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, stiff joints, weak bones and poor digestion. Most of them are caused by the downfall of our immune system.
When our immune system is powerful enough to fight or destroy deadly viruses and bacteria, we will be free of immune system related diseases. But sad to say, our immune system is also very vulnerable and can easily be weakened or destroyed without our knowledge. Thus it is of great importance that we make sure that our immune system is working well for all of us and that we should never ever try to destroy it by antibiotics, junk foods, unnecessary surgeries and stress factors and pollutants like toxemia.
We should all know more about all those wonderful, natural good foods that will boost our immune system. Most of these foods are good anti-0xidants, great fighters of free radicals. Free radicals are found everywhere in our polluted environment as food, water and air. Thus all of us should find some time to understand natural foods that will help boost our immune system.
Following this, all of us should eat more of these natural foods that will boost our immune system.
Towards being a healthier and happier person, we all must start from understanding our immune system. Prevention is of course better than cure....

Leave behind the pain of worry...
Leave behind
the pain of worry -
and walk towards the world,
where faith awaits.
Each one will
learn by his own folly,
such is the lesson of life, My child.
There is none that
live without God,
God even watches
over those who close
their eyes away from God.
None are lost,
for God walks with
even those that choose
to live life in a wild manner,
driven by passions
and bound by desires.
God has left none,
God can leave none,
God will hurt none,
God will punish none -
God will only rescue the moment
one calls to be saved -
God harbors no resentment,
God forgives and forgets all.
Yes! God is the mother;
the child that has wronged,
is too, in God's heart.
Hence, God says,
do not worry about leading
or changing the ones you are attached to -
their path, however far, will too,
one day, mingle with that of the truth.
With that belief,
live your life and
carry the burden of
only your own change.
Come -
step into the family of God,
and let the Mother of the
heavenly skies shelter
all the ones that carry the hidden divine love!

Do not fear the evil, be patient...
The world has lost
its faith in goodness, My child -
so much so, that the good
have become the victim
of suspicion and sarcasm.
Do not be disappointed,
when your efforts are not seen,
recognized and rewarded.
Your vision to see God,
in all, will awaken when
you build your very own faith
in the strength of
your will to remain good.
It is your own inner light
of truth that will let the
world sparkle with the glitz of its reality.

impure feelings and wasteful actions.
Do not waste your time
in trying to lead the one
that is determined
not to move from his own grave.
Do not look behind,
My child, to see if he follows.
Let his own self rebel,
let his own strength
from within arise to burn his anger -
let him find his own strength of purity
that can sweeten every bitterness.
By reacting and responding to his wicked ways -
by pleading with him to change -
you will only ignite the desire within him
to control you with his own petty fears.

Why should we attain divinity?
First of all,
one should have faith in oneself.
Develop self-confidence,
which will
lead to self-satisfaction.
When you have self-satisfaction,
you will
be prepared for self-sacrifice.
Only through self-sacrifice,
can one
attain self-realisation.
Self-realisation means
to realise that you are everything.
Self-confidence is the foundation,
self-satisfaction is the wall,
self-sacrifice is the roof
and self-realisation is life.
No one can live
in a building without roof.
The roof cannot be laid
without walls
and walls cannot be raised
without a foundation.
So,
self-confidence, self-satisfaction,
and self-sacrifice are very
essential for self-realisation.
Today man has lost self-confidence.
If one loses self-confidence,
one loses everything.
Only through
self-confidence
can one have the vision
of the latent divine effulgence.

but realize that the purpose of all is only the same.
The head must
trigger the inspiration,
the heart with its warmth and clarity,
must complete the picture and vision -
the hand must perform with diligence the work.
The synchrony must never break -
the link of purity between the head,
heart and hand must never unlock.
Each one's function will be fulfilled,
only if the vision of the same truth lies before them.

9 principles to live by.... be emotionally strong!
Here are 9 principles of purposeful living. We ought to know what are best for us by growing instead of just getting by. Listen first before answering, worry less, fear not, let the Divine's will be done, not us. Don't take problems to bed, don't wallow in self-pity and count our blessings that all of us have plenty.
[1] You should not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.
Worry is a negative state of mind which deals with the same problem over and over again, yet nothing is solved.
[2] You should not be fearful, for most of the things we fear never come to pass.
Fear is the opposite of confidence. It is also another negative emotion where it deals with uncertainty and loses heart easily. How can one win when one feels defeated even before the game has started?
[3] You should not cross bridges before you get to them, for no one yet has succeeded in accomplishing this. Deal with each problem as it comes, you can handle only one at a time anyway.
Let God's will be done, not ours. What will happen will happen for a good cause. One cannot deal with unseen problems though one can learn to troubleshoot.
[4] You should not take problems to bed with you for they make very poor bedfellows.
Problems are not solved when one go to sleep, be rested proper to have our energies and spirits renewed to stand tall to face all challenges the next day..
[5] You should not borrow other people's problems. They can take better care of them than you can.
There are numerous other people's problems beyond one's expectations and understandings. Learn to tackle our own problems before giving a hand to others. Solve our own problems before minding other people's problems.
[6] You should not try to relive yesterday for good or bad… it has already gone! Concentrate on what is happening in your life today.
There is no use crying over spilt milk. Be geared towards moving a step at a time. 'Yesterday was a cancelled check, tomorrow is a promissory note, Today is ready cash, Use it to the fullest!' That was what people used to say.
[7] You should be a good listener, for only when you listen do you hear ideas different from your own. It is very hard to learn something new when you are talking.
We have a pair of ears but only one mouth. Be patient to speak before understanding. Our mouths serve us best when in accord with inner conscience where Truth dwells..
[8] You should not become bogged down by frustration, for 90 percent of it is rooted in self-pity, and it will only interfere with positive action.
Self-pity is the web that spins miseries and traps oneself with their 'self-dug-pits' or dungeons. Slithering snakes and crawling insects will be your friends while in the darkness of frustrations.
[9] You should count your blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one!
For every blessings known to you, there are hundreds more that you don't know. Have heart in all you do, oh, yes, all of us do have a bright red pumping heart!
Always be grateful in all we have. Gratitude is a virtue for all. Gratitude is a key to peace of mind and heart. When one seeks to assuage the suffering of others, it is really one's own suffering that one mitigates the relief. When one direct one's attention to the inner-self, which is Truth, one will perceive the same Divinity to be present in all. Thus it makes up these 9 principles to live by.........
[1] You should not worry, for worry is the most unproductive of all human activities.

[9] You should count your blessings, never overlooking the small ones, for a lot of small blessings add up to a big one!
For every blessings known to you, there are hundreds more that you don't know. Have heart in all you do, oh, yes, all of us do have a bright red pumping heart!
Always be grateful in all we have. Gratitude is a virtue for all. Gratitude is a key to peace of mind and heart. When one seeks to assuage the suffering of others, it is really one's own suffering that one mitigates the relief. When one direct one's attention to the inner-self, which is Truth, one will perceive the same Divinity to be present in all. Thus it makes up these 9 principles to live by.........
Do not grumble or complain....
The one that grumbles and complains will seek and find only pain, even in the midst of experiencing pleasures - those that have found and kept contentment and peace within themselves will feel its soothing touch, even in the midst of a living nightmare.
It is the strength of the mind, the persistence and patience of an endearing heart - the faith of a faithful soul, the confidence of a true devotee, and the wisdom of the one that lives only in God's presence, with God's Will, for God's sake, alone, that will find the stability and balance to stay still in the rockiest of worldly storms.

[6] Use good vacuum and quality air purifiers, it helps!
Poor ventilation in enclosed bedrooms should be regularly aired and to let sunlight into Use of good vacuum and quality air purifiers is a must to keep our rooms clean and green.

Go for preventive measures, nutritional cures, natural food cures, reflexology, massage or detox programmes which are much safer and effective. Understand the meaning of total health and happiness achievable through the 4 dimensions of health.
[12] Make sure you wear 'proven-to-be-safe' products, safe for our skin, eyes and overall health.

12 Cancer-causing 'Elements' in our Home? How to FIGHT them? [part 1]
Fight smart! Look out for natural, safe, easy ways to reduce or solve the 12 cancer-causing 'elements' I posted a few days ago. Here are some suggested ways to counteract those 12 cancer-causing 'elements'! They should be referred as corresponding to its numbering of the previous article.
[1] Bring into the new home plentiful of green non-toxic plants to be placed outside your home and some at your veranda, [only one or two inside your rooms].
Keep your rooms airy and open with fresh air from the plants during the day.
When night falls, use quality air purifiers that really works inside your home. A good air purifier will remove odour, airborne harmful contaminants and pollutants from the air at the same time keep the room clean with fresh air.
Good air purifiers will effectively removes pollen, dust, tobacco smoke, airborne bacteria and viruses, mold, fungi, dust mites, radon decay products, asbestos and dioxins..
[2] Electrical appliances should be kept at a safe distance
When using a computer, place two pots of green plants at each side so as to reduce radiation. These living plants will be the scarp goat. It will minimize our problem, but it is still best to stay in a safe distance from all electrical appliances especially when it is on.
Beware of our main switch when the household electric comes into our house. Work or stay far from the main switch or just any electrical switches. Be smart to arrange your working table away from them. It pays in the long run.
Try not to work in the evening. Evenings are time for us to rest. and rejuvenate and be revitalized. A normal healthy person should go to bed before eleven for best total body rest.
[3] Use water purifiers to counteract the water-borne contaminants
When bathing, throw in some natural flowers or natural green leaves to minimize and neutralizing of the unseen contaminants in the water. It works. Or have a pre-treat filter installed outside our home to filter dirt, chlorine and bigger contaminants.
But for drinking and cooking, one should use a reputed, safe, branded filter that emphasizes on filtering the contaminants and leaving behind valuable minerals. We call that water treatment systems.
[4] Use biodegradable shampoos, detergents and safe toothpaste that are proven to be safe.
Use biodegradable and safe products that will not pollute our environment. Fresh, clean water and air now is getting scarcer now. The importance of using biodegradable products that have quality control should be emphasized. Safe products means safe to hands, safe in the sense that they are made from plant origins instead of petroleum distillates or other chemicals.
Though we need to pay more for those biodegradable products, it will be comparatively 'cheaper' in the sense of toxicity and poisoning or cancer-causing problems . If we don't heed them, one day we will pay dearly for this ignorance.
[5] Use traps, boiling water to rid off those insects
Keeping our home clean and hygiene really means to clean it thoroughly. A clean house is detestable to flies and other insects. It is the filth and dirtiness that attract more unwanted pests into our home.
One can also use traps, boiling water to rid off those crawling insects. Mosquitoes nets can be a built-in for homes in humid and equatorial areas.

What about water to wash our face?
Well.... the same waters that we always use to bath or wash our face are always unfiltered. So, for the safe side and for the sake of beautiful facial skin, use filtered waters only to wash our face! advised by Lucy
What about unfiltered waters for our daily baths?
The more one is exposed to polluted or contaminated waters, the more the body will be exposed to more carcinogens. Carcinogens cause cancer. To avoid or prevent bathing contaminated, chlorinated waters, throw a small bunch of fresh flowers or fresh green leaves into your bathing water..... It helps... advised by Lucy
Are you most of the time in front of your pc?
If you are, get two pots of green plants and put them one at one side of your pc. It helps to minimize the small side effects of keeping constant companion to an electrical appliance so near a distance like a computer! ...... advised Lucy
Hold fast to your FAITH!

Acquire the knowledge that will make you immortal. There are a large number of people who are in much poorer circumstances than you. You must strive to ameliorate their condition as much as you can. When you help others, that itself is your reward. One earn merit by helping others and not hurting them.

Beware of 12 common cancer-causing 'elements' in our sweet home!
Let's have a look at all those cancer-causing elements basically found in our home!
[1] Vanishes, Industrial coatings, Plasters, Paints and Solvents and Glues from water pipes
These are generally found in newly completed or renovated homes where most of them are freshly applied to walls, floors, water pipes in bedrooms, sitting rooms, kitchens and even our bathroom.
A very distinctive sign of all these home furnishing will be the unbearable odor when applied inside or outside the house on walls, floors, ceilings in our bedrooms, sitting rooms and bathrooms too. Risks are there because many of us spend more time at home.
[2] Electrical appliances
Most electrical appliances produce small or slight radiation and is never healthy towards those who are constantly exposed to them. What are these electrical appliances? Television sets, video players, computers, hand phones just to mention a few.
[3] Water-borne cancer-causing elements that comes from our water taps
Tap water is always chlorinated to kill germs and bacteria. We need chlorine but we need not drink the chlorine inside the water. Moreover, there are heavy metals, other contaminants, possible toxins that one is not aware of. In the process of washing, cleansing, cooking and drinking, many have unknowingly consumed dirtied water that might be cancer-causing in the long run.
[4] In your kitchen, in your bathroom..
Some toothpaste, shampoos, soaps, body shampoos, washing powder do contains unexplainable cancer-causing elements. Most of these are manufactured without scientific backup and lack of quality control. So, take great care to buy only reputed branded quality products which are backed up with scientific proofs.
Read the labels outside the products, its expiry date and know the basic ingredients it is made. .
Certain ingredients
[5] Insecticides to keep away mosquitoes, cockroaches and other insects
If they can kill small insects, it can also poison people slowly too when exposed for a long period of usage of the said chemicals. Moreover, it is not safe for young kids and the aged.
[6]In your bedroom
Poor ventilation in enclosed bedrooms, lacking of sunlight and fresh air will create poor quality air. Contaminated air will cause a lot of health problems. Great care should be taken as to maintain freshness of the bedroom.
There are certain contaminants in the air that will cause cancer. Free radicals from polluted air will attack our body DNA and immune system unmercifully.
[7] Improper cooking utensils
Aluminium pots, non-stick pans that gets worn out and gets thinner after constant use can cause havoc in our body when these metals and unknown chemicals are consumed with our foods cooked using them. Sad to say, it cannot be easily excreted from our body. The worst fear is that it goes into our blood streams.
[8] Unsafe food containers, food storage compartment
Some housewives are ignorant about using safe food containers, when microwaving and cooking. Some food containers are not suitable for storing hot foods, especially plastic and rubber.
[9] Your supplies of canned foods, preserved foods, sauces, moldy foods, stale foods kept too long, .
Some canned foods are full of cancer-causing elements. Moldy foods are never advisable for consumption too. Foods rich in fats that become stale is cancer-causing too. Beware of stale groundnuts! It is the fat that cause it to be cancer-causing.
[10] In your wardrobe
Dark deep colored lingerie and underwear..... Those underwear that are wore day and night, close to our sensitive body parts ... caused by certain dyes can be cancer-causing. A word of advice, don't buy or wear dark colored lingerie or underwear.
[11] In your cardboard
You might keep some medicines, pills, cough drops and be in some form of medication. Some drugs are only found to contain carcinogens after a period of trial and error. What a big guinea pig we have become!
[12] In your dressing room
Some skin care products and cosmetics might also contain cancer-causing elements too. Beware of some skin care products who never emphasized on safety and quality control. Sometimes it is too late, sometimes not, but preventive measures are still the best!
How much is too much exposure? How much will one accumulate enough of these toxemia and acidosis? How much longer can we remain free from tumour growth? How much do we know about cancer prevention? How much do we know about free radicals and antioxidants?

Let's get ready in this spiritual journey...
Do not mimic another

Develop your own interest,
grow within yourself your own sincerity.
Each life pays its own dues
and earns its own rewards.
The questions of doubt
will be easily cleared,
when one seeks the answers
with a pure heart and a tame mind.
The process of self analysis must be
made only with the strength of the absolute truth.
Do not deceive yourselves
by ignoring or justifying, that,
which must be immediately corrected.
Yes! It is indeed hard and heartbreaking
to realize and face the evil in your own minds and impure hearts.
But believe Me, it is much easier now -
face every evil that emerges and tackle them.
Later, My child, time may be much more cruel -
the strength of the body may be much less reliable -
God does not prompt with His wisdom
nor does He descend with His Grace, very often.
Take advantage
in those few chosen moments of your life,
when He comes to whisper the truth.
The one that has, with his devotion,
waited patiently, will recognize
the smallest and slightest sign of His Divine entry.

Tell you a joke....How are you going to store all these fruits and veges inside your fridge?
How are you going to store all these fruits and vegetables? Buy a big fridge? Yes, she did, it was no joke! And she had headache in purchasing the correct food.....
My partner and I always give training courses on health topics. We always emphasize on preventive measures and eating natural fresh foods, 5 to 9 servings of vegetables and 3 to 5 servings of fruits. When we cannot achieve such amount of vegetables and fruits, we recommend eating some branded and trusted organic food supplements like Nutrilite.
So, it happens that there was a lady who thought that she wanted to go organic by eating freshly bought foods. Yes, she invested a big refrigerator and bought all the required vegetables and fruits and stored them inside the fridge.
Please take into consideration on the following tips...
[1] refrigerated vegetables and fruits kept inside a fridge is not considered fresh enough.. Refridgeration will lead to nutrient loss and drain...
[2] 9 servings of vegetables and 5 servings of fruits is a great amount for a lady to eat, a complete food course will get her stomach bloated!
[3] the way the fresh foods are prepared..... skinning? peeling? cooking? steaming? blanching? or to eat them raw or semi-raw?
[4] eating great food like 9 servings of vegetables and 5 servings of fruits is easy for the first few weeks.... but soon one will shudder at the same food we munch everyday at its raw state!
[5] how safe are all those vegetables and fruits? are they organically planted? Are there any pesticides left on their leaves and skin?
I congratulate this lady for being health conscious enough, but I have tried that before.... I have tried to eat as 'natural' foods as possible but gave up eventually because of the difficulty of preparing and buying and maintaining the freshness of foods.... this is the truth.... I still do but couldn't go to such 100% of obtaining sufficient, fresh, organic, natural and nutritious foods.. It's a task!
Taking food supplements might not be the best choice, but it is a choice best made! At least it can fill in the gap of deficiencies and balancing our diet with the necessary vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients for basic survival.
What about our ability to fight against free radicals? What about our ability to fight stress? What about our ability to fight against bacteria and viruses? What about our ability to detoxify? What about our ability to neutralize our blood's acidosis and toxemia?
Where can we get the necessary food or 'raw materials' to have all the above abilities? All of us should go for natural foods like consuming 5 coloured vegetables, 5 coloured fruits and 5 coloured nuts or beans.... Try to eat as much as possible, try to snack on some vege or fruits, try to eat as much organic vegetables and fruits.... go for preventive measures, JUST DO IT!

A feast to our eyes.... a feast in our diet..... Fresh vegetables... yummy yummy...
We can find plentiful of good natural vegetables and fruits as our daily foods, fresh and rich in vitamins, minerals and phytofactors that helps to boost our immune system and best of all prevents all types of cancer.........
Enjoy what we have in plenty...... We have Mother Nature to be thankful.... Cheers!
A change of diet... needs at least from 5 to 9 servings of vegetables and 3 servings of fruits, can we do that?
Going into a rich diet of antioxidants and a lot of fiber is a smart thing to do...... But can we eat that much? Have we that amount of time to prepare those foods?
9 servings of organically planted vegetables a day with 3 servings of fruits too. Let's try to eat them on empty stomach, well, this is for sure a cancer-preventing diet. But who is eating and doing it RIGHT?
9 is replacing the 5 servings for vegetables.... because our environmental pollution is getting worst! Clean air, water and environment is getting scarer and scarer......
This is one of the best preventive measure to put cancer at bay, from eating at least 9 servings of fresh vegetables and 3 servings of fruits... Just go and buy them, start NOW! Don't wait!
