How to Stay Young and Vibrant with Energy

Again, we are in the time when everyone is in the mood to make their New Year’s resolutions. As usual, weight loss  will top everyone’s list. Because every New Year, like birthdays, tends to make people think about a portion of their youth is fleeting away. Finding ways nowadays to keep that youthful look and being filled with vibrant energy is equally important as trimming down the holiday weight.

Fortunately, there are some proven ways that can slow down the effects of time. And, as you are lucky now, that will be shown to you here.

The first thing that we have to look into is why people age prematurely. Once we understand this, we can then stop it, and sometimes even reverse it to some extent.

Why you see so many people looking old, and even physically haggard, before their time is quite simple: they have been living an acidic lifestyle.

However, there is great news, because you can still change this now. At the moment you begin changing your diet and decide to start living healthy, you will immediately begin to feel better and eventually look younger. You just have to make that decision to get rid of that acid lifestyle that you are in now and begin what we call an “alkaline” living.

With some help, you can easily shift into that alkaline life. You’ll shed weight, you’ll feel better, and you’ll look younger. And I'm sure you’ll never want to go back to living “the other way.”

So, let’s get to it...

Changing your diet is the most important part of living alkaline. That's just exactly what you need in order to be successful in your weight loss attempt.

But let us first understand what it means when I say you're living an acidic lifestyle. It simply means that you are ingesting foods and liquids that are acidic. This is not good and terribly harmful for your body.

There is an exhaustive list of items that can cause your body to age at a seemingly faster rate. These are foods and liquids you must avoid at all costs, and while there isn’t enough space here to provide that full list, I’ll provide you with some items in the list so you can get started. They are:

• Chocolates, candies, cookies and other, similar foods with high sugar content cause the body to store harmful acids.
• Breads, rolls, and pastries are serious offenders and are notorious for packing on the weight.
• Beer, wine, and liquor.
• Spaghetti sauce, mayonnaise, ketchup, salad dressing, and most other condiments - it’s the little things, such as these, that most people don’t think about while preparing their food. You can actually ruin a nice, healthy salad by drowning it in dressing.

• Processed meat, like most luncheon meats, are full of ingredients and preservatives that will just bloat your body with acid.

• Soda, whether you drink lemon-lime, cola, or even root beer, you are harming your body. In addition to causing the acidic build-up, sodas also cause you to gain weight.

Now that you know some of the things you can’t eat, I bet you’re wondering, “WHAT’S LEFT?” Well, now we can learn about living in what we call the alkaline life.

Trust me, you’re going to lose weight, look great, and be happy.

In order to purge yourself of the toxins, those “acids,” which have been gathering in your body for so many years, you need to start eating foods that are nutrient rich, not calorie rich.

When choosing foods that will create an alkaline environment in your body. You want protein in the form of lean cuts of fresh meat, chicken breast, fish, and raw vegetables. You might also seriously want to consider going organic. First, you get a higher quality of food. Second, the price difference when eating organic really isn’t that much, especially considering how important it is to your health.

Start eating the right way, and you will do more than just lose weight. You will begin a reversal of the aging process, and you will really notice a change in your physical, as well as your mental, wellness.

In order to supplement your diet, I suggest juicing as much as possible. It’s a great habit to get into. You are able to ingest more nutrient-rich vegetables in a shorter amount of time, and it’s something for which your body will really thank you.

If you have absolutely no idea what juicing is, don’t worry. It’s easy, and we’ll get into it in more depth at another time. In the meantime, you can substitute juicing with a “green drink,” which is a very easy, timesaving alternative.

Something else you are definitely going to want to add to your diet is fresh water and plenty of it. Soda and all those sugary juices just don’t cut it, no matter how “diet” or “healthy” they claim to be - they slow down weight loss with every sip.

So, that’s it. Creating that alkaline environment in your body and living healthy is a simple, straightforward process. Eat turkey, eat tuna, fill your diet with raw vegetables (organic if you can do it), and lots of fresh water.

You may need a little adaptation to this kind of lifestyle cold turkey, especially if you’ve been living unhealthy for most of your life. I strongly suggest making the change in gradual manner, like taking water for soda, and then introducing more greens into your diet. As you begin to feel the wonderful change overtake your body, the rest of the switch to the alkaline lifestyle will be easy and your weight loss will be permanent.

Health Management | Pain Relief Options: Natural and Medical

Pain Relief Options: Natural and Medical

At some point in our lives, we will experience some sort of chronic pain that we positively hate and wish to go away. But as much as we seek pain relief immediately and despise the discomfort, the truth is that pain is useful to our survival as it alerts us to problems within our body. Pain also prevents a person from further injuring themselves and so it can be very useful. But, while useful, we all seek pain relief from time to time because-well, it hurts!


Oral Pain Relief


Now when most people think of pain relief, the first thing that comes to mind is aspirin or some other form of oral medication. In fact, we have been conditioned to believe that “you take something for the pain” and this usually involves a pill of some kind. For severe or chronic pain, opiates are most often prescribed. Morphine and heroine are two common opiates, and you will generally see cancer patients given these pain medicines as pain relief of last resort. Opiates are considered highly addictive and generally reserved for terminally ill patients.


Anti-depressants once were prescribed solely to treat depression and other mental illnesses. However, recent research has concluded that anti-depressants do relieve certain types of physical pain and are often used in pain relief applications to help a patient sleep.


Anti-seizure medications are prescribed to deal with sharp or acute pain caused by malfunctioning or damaged nerves. They most often deaden or numb the nerves themselves so pain signals do not reach the brain.


Less severe forms of oral pain relief generally come in the form of aspirin or ibuprofen. Ibuprofen are specifically designed to reduce inflammation and are therefore recommended for things like muscle aches while aspirin are more useful on headaches and fever reduction... Read more ...

Small Business Ideas | Hydroponic Gardening - Introduction to Hydroponics and Hydroponic Supplies

Hydroponics vs Soil Grown Plants

The benefits, offered by hydroponics, are pretty simple, yet impressive: one can receive 200-1000% increase in yield with only half of time and space requirements in comparison to traditional soil horticulture. Absence of soil also results in protection of growing plants against pests, commonly living in soil. In hydroponic systems, plants receive all the necessary nutrients through hydroponics nutrient solution and never suffer lack of water. As the result, hydroponic plants concentrate of producing fruits instead of growing large roots to extract water and nutrients from the soil. Hydroponic plants have smaller roots in comparison to common plants, which grow in soil. This allows increasing the density of plants in your garden. It is also a proven fact, that food products, produced in indoor hydroponic systems, are cleaner and have longer shelf life.

Usually, hydroponic plants can grow both indoor and outdoor; furthermore, even a loft, cellar, or closet can be turned into a garden with hydroponic system.

There are two major subtypes of hydroponic plants: solution and medium cultures. Solution culture does not require any growing medium for its growing; the only thing necessary is nutrient solution. Among solution cultures aeroponics, static and continuous flow cultures are defined. Medium culture needs a particular growing medium to grow in, for example, rockwool, sand or gravel. In most cases, the growing medium is contained within a reservoir, made from plastic. However, glass, metal or wooden containers are also used. The only requirement to hydroponic container is that it should not let light pass... Read more
