It should be obvious then that the quality of the water you drink is extremely important. For your body to be at optimal health, you should drink only the purest and cleanest water possible.

What Hides In Our Water?

While it is clear that drinking water is paramount for the body to function at an optimal and healthy level, we are often unable to control the quality of the water we consume. Unfortunately, some common sources of drinking water found in city water systems, wells and even springs may contain harmful chemicals like chlorine, fluoride, pesticides and more. Despite their use, these chemicals are not good for the body, and in the long run, create chemical imbalances in our body that may result in depressed immunity and diseases.

The healing power of KANGEN WATER: Why alkaline Water is the only way to go!

The healing power of KANGEN WATER: Why alkaline Water is the only way to go!

I hope this finds you in great health and enjoying a wonderful week end. I am writing to share some extremely valuable information about what I feel to be the most effective and effortless way of achieving good health and longevity. In this day and age, where stress has replaced carefreeness, and cancer and heart disease have become daily battles most people will face in their life at one point or another, I feel a moral obligation to share any reliable facts and data I become aware of in order to bring any potential relief to unnecessary pain and suffering. Unfortunately, our busy lifestyles are seldom conducive to healthy diets and exercise routines. Over time, our bodies suffer from repetitive abuse and negligence and eventually become weakened and subject to disease. The good news is that there is a simple and painless way to counter this problem and to turn your life around to enjoy a permanent state of health and wellbeing. By now, you have heard every single health expert support drinking 8-10 glasses of water daily. You also are aware that tap water (unless you live very close to a clean, pristine source of water) is often less than desirable. What you may not be aware of yet is that spring water is now at the center of a new controversy relating to major potential health risks. Health authorities and medical experts have even issued public warnings against the regular use of spring water. Other than the fact that spring water is stagnant, that the plastic bottles that the water is in contain harmful BPA and are an environmental hazard, and that an increasing amount of water sources are being contaminated (by chemicals and other poisons) through the soil, the mineral content of spring water is now being directly targeted as a main factor in plaque build-up in the arteries, which can ultimately lead to various health complications including coronary blockages and its resulting fatalities. To remain healthy, we must drink water in abundance so that we may eliminate all toxins and waste material timely and efficiently. However, as revealed above, we must be selective when choosing what to drink. Drinking a clean and pure source of water can help us keep healthy and thriving, a state of being we should all enjoy. Scientific research has proven that to maintain good health our blood pH must remain balanced and slightly alkaline. Medical studies report that a pH that is imbalanced can be correlated to almost all health conditions, including heart disease, arthritis and cancer. Virtually all leading biochemists and medical physiologists have recognized that our pH (acid-alkaline balance) is the most important aspect of a balanced, healthy and youthful body. The equation is quite simple; by drinking alkaline water or eating alkalinizing foods, you will balance your pH and combat disease. Because it is not always easy to keep a healthy diet - due to emotional reasons or simply because we travel for work, or like to socialize a lot, etc., the easiest solution seems to be lie in the water that you drink. To offset the challenges that modern life poses on your well being, you can commit to managing your pH and hydrating with pure water! By drinking ALKALINE water, it is easy to naturalize the negative effects of an overly acidic diet and keep a neutral (slightly alkaline) pH where disease cannot thrive. Kangen water is the best source of alkaline water and has a track record for success, ethics, and reliability (the company responsible for its existence has been around for 40 years and is the leader in alkaline, ionizing water). Drinking it has helped millions of people remain healthy through a balanced pH and the increased level of oxygen and antioxidants present int he body of those who drink it. Most recently the American Anti-Cancer Institute praised the use of alkaline water in the prevention and relief of cancer and labeled Kangen Water as 'No. 1 Recommended Product' on their list of cancer-fighters! I have personally come across someone who attributes his own remission from lung cancer to Kangen water.

I hope you have found the information I shared here today useful and that you will go on to use it for your own benefit or to help others you know who may need it. 

To find out more about Kangen water and how it can help you or others remain healthy or regain the healthy life you were always meant to enjoy, please read the attached newsletter and contact me directly to find out the many ways in which you can benefit from this water at no extra cost to you (The company that distributes Kangen water offers great financing plans and Kangen water costs less than buying mineral water).

FIGHT COLDS, SINUSITIS AND OTHER HEALTH ISSUES WITH NASAL CLEANSING

What is NETI and why should you do it?

Like tongue scraping - the purification technique I described yesterday in my blog post, Neti (Jala Neti) is part of the Ancient system of Kriya Yoga developed by yogis and sages with the intention of keeping their body healthy and their mind free of distractions on their path to enlightenment. While you may not be looking to reach the Nirvana just yet, you will greatly benefit from including Neti in your daily or weekly routine to experience its many physical and mental benefits. Simply put, Neti is 'nasal cleansing', a method used to keep the nostrils free from obstructions, thereby preventing both the development or worsening of colds and sinusitis but also allowing for the successful application of breathing techniques which are extremely useful not only to harmonizing both the physical and mental aspects of our personalities but also to achieving optimal health through the oxygenation of the entire body. As you may already know, it is essential that we breathe through our nose rather than our mouth. The reason for this is simple; our mouth was designed for eating and communicating while our nose is perfect for the regulation and transfer of air in and out of our lungs. Our nose warms or cool - depending on the need, and purifies the air to make it safe before it reaches the lungs. Following is a detailed presentation on the benefits of 'nasal cleansing' and some easy tips on how to do it effectively.

Benefits

Removes all the dirt and bacteria-filled mucus from the nostrils.

Helps to drain the sinus cavities. This in turn, will help to reprogram the body’s natural mechanisms against nasal infections such as hay fever, allergies, sinusitis and other upper respiratory complaints like sore throats and coughs, post nasal drip, inflammation of tonsils and adenoids.

Is beneficial for illnesses such as asthma and bronchitis as it reduces the tendency to breathe through the mouth by freeing the nostrils of mucus.

Has a cooling and soothing effect on the brain by drawing out excessive heat, and is therefore beneficial for headaches, migraine, epilepsy, temper tantrums, hysteria, depression and general mental tension.

Is of great benefit for problems associated with the eyes, as it helps flush the tear ducts, encouraging clearer vision and giving a sparkle to the eyes.

Can be beneficial for certain types of ear disorders such as middle ear infections, glue ear, and tinnitus.

Improves sensitivity of the olfactory nerves, helping to restore lost sense of smell, and thereby benefits the relationship between taste and the digestive processes.

Has subtle effects on the pineal and pituitary glands which control the hormonal system, which in turn has an harmonizing effect on emotional behaviors.

Affects the psychic center known as 'Ajna Chakra' - the third eye, which helps in awakening higher states of meditation.

Helps to stimulate the powers of visualization and concentration and gives a feeling of lightness and clarity to the mind.

Is excellent for those trying to give up smoking. Since it reduces the tendency for mouth breathing, Neti re-sensitizes the nose to the actual pollution of ingesting smoke, thereby de-programming the brain of the physical and psychological addiction.

Techniques

While the simplest method for nasal cleansing does not require any equipment but simply to snort water from cupped hands. It is not the most effective. If the water used is impure, it may also be detrimental to your health. Further, using water without any added salt can cause water to be absorbed through the vessels located in the nose which may add to your discomfort if you are already suffering from nasal congestion.

The application of saline solution or saline nasal spray is a simple alternative to remedy this, but unfortunately it is also relatively inefficient for washing away debris although it may suffice for simple rehydration of mucous and tissues.

A simple yet extremely effective technique that palliate the shortcomings of the aforementioned is to pour salt water solution into one nostril and let it run out through the other while the mouth is kept open to breathe, using gravity as an aid. This is the old yogic technique known as Jala Neti. For this technique, you will need a container - called a Neti pot, in order to administer the saline solution. Neti pots are traditionally made of metal, glass or ceramic, and rely on gravity alone, along with head positioning and repeated practice in order to rinse the outer sinus cavities. Some users are able to use neti pots without problems, while the sideways positioning of the head can induce vertigo in others (though this is rare). Here is what you will do:

Mix a teaspoon of natural sea salt with tepid water in a clean neti pot (3/4 of the way full)

Stand in the shower, bath tub, or simply above a sink for the duration of the practice

Tilt your head to the right so that it is horizontal (parallel to the floor)
Take a deep breath in and introduce the nozzle of the neti pot into your left nostril.

Leave your mouth wide open - so that you may breathe throughout the process (advanced practitioners may keep their mouth closed and hold their breath), and let the water run from the left nostril into and out of the right nostril. (Some water may come out of your mouth). Continue until the pot is empty. This may take 10 to 20 seconds.

Now, begin to close your left nostril and blow quickly and forcibly (not too hard though) through your right nostril until all water and impurities have been removed from your nose. You may need to help the complete removal of all water with a little dynamic sideway movement of your head. Repeat the same process on the other side, closing the right nostril and blowing out of the left.

Once both nostrils feel open and dry, begin the same process on the right side. Tilting your head sideways to the left, introduce the nozzle of the net pot inside your right nostril and let the water run in through the right nostril and out through the left in exactly the same manner as you did earlier. Repeat the waste removal and drying process on the other side.

If you feel like your nose is still stuffed with mucus and other impurities, you can repeat the process once or twice more on each side until you feel a sense of ease and openness in both nostrils.

At the end of the practice, you must dry the nostrils once more and ensure that all impurities have been expelled from the nostrils. In order to do that, bring your trunk to the horizontal position and closing one nostril at a time, breathe in and out quickly and successively through the open nostril 10 times in a row. Emphasize your exhalations so that you may expel all moisture from your nostrils. Repeat on each side.

With your trunk still titled forward horizontally, finish the practice with both nostrils open, breathing in and out quickly and vigorously through your nose until it feels perfectly dry.

Remember to rinse your net pot after and before each use.


Enjoy free breathing and the myriad of health benefits that come with it!

Flight the Flu Season before it 's even here! Immune System booster tips to live by!

Fall is upon us and Flu Season is approaching fast… Don't let it be another year where you spend days at time in bed fighting a bad cold or flu. Here are a few simple tips to get you ready for this change of season! 

1. Boost your immune system by eating lots of greens and fruits.
2. Drinking am Algae-based superfood such as E3live* will help provide you with the most complete source of natural vitamins and minerals your body needs to stay healthy and alkaline. (go towww.thesouthbeachdetox.com for more information on E3Live)
3.Drink plenty of water to flush out all toxins from your body and keep the body healthy. Choose high quality water that are alkaline. Remember, an alkaline body (blood) cannot get sick! The best water around is most definitely Kangen.
4. Drink miso soup to which you can add a variety of great tasting, vitamin-packed sea vegetables (wakame, kombu, dulse, etc.).
5. Adding health-giving mushrooms such as shiitake, maitake, and reishi to your miso or other dishes is also a great way to keep the doctor away!
6. Zinc-rich foods such as wheat germ, sesame seeds and tahini, pumpkin and squash seeds, dried watermelon seeds, dark chocolate and cocoa butter, and peanuts are great to boost your immune system and get rid of a dawning cold before it takes over.
7. Keep away from dairy products which form mucus in the body. There are so many healthful alternatives to dairy these days that eating it just isn't worth the risks. Read The China Study if you are not yet convinced about the health risks associated with heavy consumption of dairy products.
8. Use a saline solution to cleanse your sinuses and remove dried up mucus and bacteria which accumulate in your nostrils. The yogic method known as Neti, which uses a neti pot, is most adapted and effective to attain the desired results. I will discuss Neti as part of another post.
9. Remove excess bacteria that accumulate on your tongue using a tongue scraper, or simply clean fingers. If your tongue has a thick deposit on it, then it means every time you eat you are actually swallowing back all the bacteria eliminated through your tonsils. A good indication that you need to scrape your tongue or may be sick is the color of your tongue. If it isn't pink, then it isn't healthy! I will also discuss tongue scrapping in another post.
10. Detox your body! A holistic body cleansing once or twice a year is the best thing you can do to boost your immunity and ensure that your body remains alkaline at all times… For more on ways and benefits of detoxing naturally, please visit www.thesouthbeachdetox.com

Food & Nutrition: 'Wondering About Wasabi'

Food & Nutrition: 'Wondering About Wasabi' 

Dr. Weil's Weekend Tips, January 22, 2011

Originally from Japan, Wasabi is a mustard-like substance that has therapeutic properties. For more, read below.

Wasabi comes from the root-like stem (rhizome) of wasabia japonica, a mustard relative that grows in streams and moist, shady areas of Japan and is now being cultivated in North America, especially in British Columbia. When freshly grated, authentic wasabi forms a light green, coarsely textured paste that is pungent and much more flavorful than the mix of horseradish, mustard and green food

coloring billed as "wasabi" in many restaurants. In addition, genuine wasabi has interesting therapeutic effects, including antibiotic properties and anti-inflammatory activity, and appears useful for relieving symptoms of seasonal allergies.

Food & Nutrition: '4 Reasons To Eat Almonds'

Food & Nutrition: '4 Reasons To Eat Almonds' 

Dr. Weil's Weekend Tip, January 30, 2011

Almonds, eaten in moderation, are a very healthy snack.  They are alkanizing to the body, keeping you healthy and free from disease.  They contain vitamins and minerals necessary to the body's proper functioning. For more, read below.

Some of the best snacks you can enjoy (in moderation) are nuts, and almonds in particular. The benefits are plentiful - almonds contain:

1. Monounsaturated fats that help reduce the risk of heart disease

2. Protein to provide sustained energy

3. Calcium for strong and healthy bones

4. Magnesium, which promotes normal blood pressure and healthy metabolism

I recommend unsalted or low-salt almonds that are raw or dry-roasted as a staple in your pantry. Toss almonds in a salad, cereal or yogurt; chop finely to use in a marinade or coat tofu "burgers"; or simply enjoy them on their own!

Other ways to eat almonds include vegetarian paté or stuffing for pears; almonds are versatile. 

Success Stories: The Key To Success Is Within Everybody's Reach

Success Stories: The Key To Success Is Within Everybody's Reach

The greatest success in life is not measured by fame or wealth but rather by the state of happiness and contentment you experience throughout life's ups and downs. And so a most accurate instrument of measure when it comes to success is the number of times you smile a day...

And since smiling is free and effortless and reaching, that state of 'well' being is within everybody's reach...

All you need is to discover the fountain of eternal youth, the one that will have you enjoying life day after day no matter what the circumstances... Now to some, that may seem like empty rhetoric but far from it because happiness is truly found in the simplest pleasures and the ability to enjoy the smallest, seemingly insignificant moments. All it takes, really, is a little change in perspective and the courage to dive below the surface to find out the essence of who you've always been... pure, eternal bliss!

That is exactly what The South Beach Detox - the most powerful full body and mind cleansing program, sets out to help you discover... and within a few days, this feeling of lightness and carefreeness is yours to experience and replicate any time that you choose to. But if you're still a little doubtful about what you view as empty promises, read below for Success Stories of those who have tried it and come out transformed...

THE SOUTH BEACH DETOX® TESTIMONIALS

Famous U.K. Heart FM DJ Neil Fox, London, U.K. 

"It changed the way I think about food"

“The program worked for me and has changed the way I think about food.”

Julio L., Business Professional, Key Biscayne, FL

"The Way To A Calmier, Happier, And Balanced Life. Truly Amazing!"  

"Just finished the four day South Beach Detox and I can say that it has been a great experience. The combination of carefully selected meditations, mantras, yoga practice and Alessandrina's guidance is truly amazing. You will not only feel physically lighter but also at an emotional level after shedding toxins and negative emotions trapped inside of you.  At no point in time during the detox do you really feel hungry, just continue taking the E3 products and your body will stay in balance. I highly recommend the program for anyone who is searching for a calmer, happier and balanced life."

Teresa, Humanitarian Worker

"South Beach Detox High Five!"

I came to Miami hoping to find a place where I could do a good detox as I was suffering from digestive issues that were affecting my overall health and well being. I found the information about the South Beach Detox on the internet and having read information about other detox programmes this was the one that convinced me. The healthy and holistic approach to the detox - drinking E3Live to help cleanse and feel energised (and being allowed some fruit or smoothies, yeah), combined with yoga and meditation - assured me that this was a trustable programme.
The first couple of days - especially the second day - were the challenging days as I often do "stress / emotional eating". By the 3rd and 4th day I was feeling better and had the energy to do the detox, walk for hours and do power yoga!  Once I finished the detox, I realized that I was much less prone to overating or running to french fries (my biggest sin) every time I seem them. Bad food and excessive food do indeed harm you and your body and I want a healthy live and body! I also learned to eat only when I am actually hungry - not stressed or angry, hungry. That hole in the stomach is most often thirst or nerves... not hunger.
Alessandrina (and Almandine :-D) supported me through the process and her coaching was important for me to realize that it was normal how I felt through the detox. Not only toxins leave your body; you will also be digesting emotions that you may pack in your belly. It was great having someone to talk to when I needed and who understood well the process. I am thankful to Aless for sharing the detox with me and taking me through it.
I feel lighter, more energised and, yes, happier! :-) I will keep it up, being kind to myself when I deviate from the path a bit, like Alessandra said. The most important is to love oneself. Then, it will work for you as well, for sure! Highly recommended.

Pablo Lucero, Paralegal and dedicated Yoga practitioner, South Beach, FL

"Life Giving Back To Life!"

"I had done several different types of Detox before trying The South Beach Detox but had never done a detox that offers such a comprehensive approach to a full body cleanse.  The E3 Live products provided what other detox don’t, and that is life energy, enzymes and the proper vitamins necessary to support such a powerful process.  The South Beach Detox is very cleansing, natural and organic.  Along with the meditations and yoga practice it is a full mental, physical and spiritual cleansing.  The clarity that is attained through the detox is really amazing.  I felt as if I can touch and see the space between my eyes and an object (if that makes any sense).  The senses are really enhanced, the focus and concentration (especially with the yoga practice) are really deeply improved too.  My goals and purpose were manifested in full intention, which was really surprising, but not shocking.   Also, the emotional detox was intense. I felt old patterns and/or old hidden emotions arise and I dealt with them as they happened, this was very liberating.  

Personally, I like to purchase a package (not just a product), I do my research, and when I know the product is good, I buy it, however, it is the ENTIRE experience that matters to me the most. The human touch, the eye contact, the handling of the product, the service provided, the professionalism and human to human interaction is most important to me.  Alessandrina from The South Beach Detox team took the time to explain to me the benefits and to follow up during and after my detox, and she is living example of this product and how it works.  It was all handled in harmony and peace.. and that is why I consider it to be superior detox..  If I had to isolate what I liked the most about The South Beach Detox, it would have to be the clarity that I gained during the detox, the fact that my body smiles at me and is grateful for me having given it this opportunity.  The South Beach Detox is life giving back to life, being part of earth and giving back to earth by respecting our natural essence and natural God intention.  I'd recommend it to anybody who wants to get the most out of a detox.  Namaste"

Sara D. Landry, Middle School Teacher & Yoga Teacher, Miami, FL

"Simple And Easy Yet Life-changing!"

"I recently did the South Beach Detox and was surprised at how simple and easy it was to complete. In fact, I had originally only planned to do it for four days, but I felt so great that I continued for six days. I work as a middle school teacher, so I was concerned that I would be grumpy and mean to my students, but it was just the opposite: I felt lighter and better equipped to deal with their quibbles and questions. I had energy to accomplish so much more during my days! Coming off of the cleanse, I am so aware of portion size and more conscious of my choices in what I consume. I feel much more focused and in tune with myself. I already got my supplies to do it another time around. I know this detox is a life-changing deal and I am so content to embrace it. Many thanks to all who have had a part in creating, distributing and teaching about the fabulous opportunity to create positive change from the inside out!"

Roxanne, MBA, Fort Lauderdale, FL

"Absolutely Fabulous!"

“The South Beach Detox program has changed the way I think about food. Before, I thought food had to be animal-based to be food. But I learned that there are so many other ways to receive nutrition without sacrificing animals. Also, the products used in the detox are fabulous, in terms of the way they make you feel and how much stronger I feel when I take them. When I miss taking them I can feel the difference in my body – I feel tired and weaker.”

The South Beach Detox: A CURE TO EATING DISORDERS?

“The South Beach Detox: “A cure for Anorexia?”

“A South Beach Yoga Studio develops a detox program that could hold the key to cure millions of young sufferers, mostly females, of Anorexia.”

While The South Beach Detox was not originally developed with curing Anorexia in mind, it most definitely has the potential to do so.

The South Beach Detox is essentially a cleansing program which main objective is to bring both body and mind to a state of perfect balance, ultimately promoting health, mental stability and vitality. Through

the combination of a flawless nutritional approach, a highly effective yoga

sequence, and a supportive awareness meditation program, the recipients of The

South Beach Detox experience a powerful personal transformation that melts away all conditioned

responses and unhealthy habits embedded in their old personality, leaving space

to create the New.

“The synergetic effects of the components of The South Beach Detoxnormal""> literally propel you to the next level of performance on the physical, mental, and spiritual levels!”, says Yoga Master, Fred Busch, creator of The South

Beach Detox, who enthusiastically adds, “It’s not just that you’re feeding your body

with the most perfect food on Earth, creating the perfect balance between

exercise and rest according to your body’s needs, or that you are aware of the

state of perfect bliss you access when you really listen and heed your body’s inner

intelligence, it’s that you’re doing it all together!yes""> And, that doing it all together is what transforms you into

this powerhouse of endless energy and equanimity.yes""> Anybody who has experienced the magical metamorphosis of The

South Detox bears witness that it partakes

of the principles of Alchemy!”

Because The South Beach Detox integrates all the elements necessary to “re-create” a person from scratch – i.e. at the cellular level, it is most suited for people suffering from conditions resulting from deeply-rooted complexes and mental impressions that

may already have crystallized themselves, not just on the mental but also the

physical level of their being, such as in the case of Anorexia.

Ranked #1 Superfood by renowned health authorities, the E3Live supplements, which form the foundation of The South Beach Detox,

represent the highest quality food we can bring to our body. This, of course, constitutes one of the

fundamental benefits of The South Beach Detox when it comes to Anorexia. Because in such extreme cases the body is so severely

undernourished, or even often starved, bringing it a perfect food like E3Live immediately restores its

vital balance. Appeased, the body

is now able to relax and allow the remainder of the miracle to start

unfolding. The combination of a

healthy exercise plan and a perfectly orchestrated “spiritual awakening” program

dissolves any trace of resistance, leading to a full surrender where the

recipients start to truly respond to their nutritional needs at the cellular

level. Soon, the appetite increases,

but because the food intake is intelligent and healthy, the weight gain takes

place at a very slow pace, which proves much more manageable psychologically in

the case of Anorexia. Finally, the

obsessive preoccupation with body weight, food intake, and excessive exercising

disappears and, free of fear, the sufferers of Anorexia are able to start

moving towards their natural body weight without a second thought.

Alessandrina Lerner, a recovering Anorexic, who participated in The South Beach Detox and was so enthralled by the results that she is now working with Fred Busch to disseminate the program says, “I

struggled with Anorexia for over 20 years, bouncing from Therapists to Recovery

Programs, AA Meetings to various Support Groups without success, then I

attended the Yoga Teacher’s training with Fred Busch.yes""> Through an intelligent and balanced approach to nutrition,

exercise/ rest, and a deep awareness of the processes involved in my unhealthy

eating habits, I soon found myself empowered to change all my habits and put an

end to the vicious cycle I had fallen victim to.yes""> As I watched in awe the personal transformation occurring

within my body and mind, soon emerged the butterfly that had been trapped in

its cocoon for so long. Thanks to

The South Beach Detox®, I am finally free of Anorexia, I am moving towards a

healthy body weight and I’ve never felt so good inside both my body and my mind.”

How ironic that what could possibly be the cure for Anorexia would be conceived in the heart of South Beach, renowned headquarters for the Modeling industry, a sector long plagued by the disease, and where it may most likely

continue to develop if industry standards don’t change.

Regardless of whether or not it is the miracle cure so many sufferers of Anorexia have been waiting for, it is without a doubt the most wholesome and effective detox program anyone could ever hope for!

Food & Nutrition: 'Americans Say Their Diet Is Healthy, but Is It?'

Food & Nutrition: 'Americans Say Their Diet Is Healthy, but Is It?'

WebMD Health News

By Denise Mann

January 4, 2011

The belief we may have about being healthy eaters seem to be a rampant misconception amongst Americans as a recent WebMD survey revealed.  For more about the biased perception of eating healthy when many of the food we actually eat are not, read below.  For more on how to achieve a healthy and balanced diet, visit us at www.thesouthbeachdetox.com

Survey Suggests Eating Habits Don’t Match the Belief of Most Americans That Their Diet Is Healthy.

Jan. 4, 2011 -- Close to 90% of Americans say they eat a healthy diet, but their penchant for sugary foods and drinks suggests otherwise.

A new Consumer Reports Health telephone poll of 1,234 adults showed that 52.6% of respondents said their diet was “somewhat healthy,” 31.5% thought their diet was “very” healthy, and 5.6% said they were “extremely” healthy eaters.

But 43% of them said they drank at least one sugary soda or sugar-sweetened coffee or tea drink per day, and around one-quarter

said they limit the amount of sweets and fat they get each day.

'These not-so-healthy eating habits may sabotage their diets and their waistlines', says Nancy Metcalf, the senior program editor for Consumer Reports Health in Yonkers, N.Y.

“Drinking your calories is a really bad idea,” she says.”If you have to drink or eat something sweet, drink a diet soda or eat a piece of fruit,” she says.

The poll also showed that Americans rarely, if ever, count their calories, and just 13% weigh themselves daily. As a result, it’s no surprise that 33% were off when they self-reported that they had a healthy weight when they actually had BMIs in the overweight or obese range, the new poll showed.

There may be a discrepancy between what people think is a healthy diet and what they actually eat, Metcalf says.

Her advice? “Write down everything you eat for a week, and look at it honestly and ask yourself, ‘Is this a healthy diet?’”

Still, Americans did exhibit some healthy eating habits.

Fully 78% said they ate breakfast daily. “Eating breakfast is associated with better weight control because your hunger never gets in front of you,” Metcalf says. Most people choose fruit, fruit juice, or cold cereal for breakfast, the new poll showed. Cheerios was the favorite breakfast cereal.

Most and Least Favorite Vegetables

As far as veggies go, one-third of participants said they eat five or more savings of fruit and vegetables every day. 

The most popular vegetables were:

lettuce or salad greens

tomatoes

carrots

potatoes (not sweet potatoes)

broccoli

corn

peppers

By contrast, the least popular vegetables were:

parsnips

Swiss chard

bok choy

turnips and rutabagas

artichokes

eggplant

okra

Food & Nutrition: Conscious Eating for Health & Happiness

Conscious Eating for Health & Happiness: '3 Ways to Practice the Slow Food Movement'

Dr. Weil's Daily Tips, January 6, 2011

Eating slowly and consciously has become a foreign concept in our fast-paced society. In order to maintain good health and enjoy the simple pleasures of life, it is highly recommended to reconnect with the practice of conscious eating. 'The Slow Food Movement' sets out to do just that. For more, read the short article from Dr. Weil below.

The Slow Food Movement - which started in Italy in the 1980s - encourages people to slow the pace of life in order to truly savor not only foods and beverages, but the pleasure of eating and the companionship of friends and family sitting around the table. Traditional foods that are fresh, made from local ingredients and served during leisurely meals are the focus of this movement. From a health perspective, this philosophy is a much-needed departure from "fast food," which is designed to

be eaten on the run. If you want to get involved in the Slow Food Movement, try the following:

1. Shop for fresh, organically grown local produce and baked goods at farmers' markets.

2. Patronize restaurants that specialize in local or regional foods.

3. Keep family traditions alive. Think about the foods your grandparents prepared for holidays or family gatherings, and try to replicate what you can.

The Need For Detox: 'Why we need to maintain a balanced microflora in our intestines to remain healthy'

'Why we need to maintain a balanced microflora in our intestines to remain healthy'

BBC News - Sunday, March 14, 2010

The relationship between the health of our Micro Flora in the intestines and our overall health is clearly established in this report by the BBC.  A healthy microflora contains over 40 different species of 'good bacteria' which work together to keep us in good health.  Our modern lifestyle, which involves the consumption of alcohol, antibiotics and prescription drugs, tends to deplete the friendly bacteria in our microflora and that's why we need to take probiotics in order to replenish them.. Probiotics is the name of the healthy bacteria that we need to keep healthy.   Detox programs that include high quality probiotics help fully replenish the 'friendly' bacteria we need to remain in vibrant health.

Scientists say that, 'the human intestines hold microbes containing millions of genes'.  In fact, there are more genes in the intestinal flora than in the rest of the body.  So many that they are being dubbed our 'second genome'.

A study published in the journal 'Nature', carried out to better understand how the intestinal flora is affected by disease, details the analysis of those genes.  'Basically, we are a walking bacterial colony', said Professor Jeroen Raes, one of the

researchers involved.  'There is a huge diversity.  We have about 100 times more microbial genes than human genes in the body.  We also have 10 times more bacterial cells in our body than human cells', he told BBC News.  Most of the microbes present in our bodies live in the intestines..  The study was led by Professor Jun Wang from the Beijing Genomics Institute-Shenzhen.  Scientists from Germany, Belgium, Denmark, Spain, France and the UK also took part in the international effort, named the European MetaHIT consortium, which has been co-ordinated by Dr Stanislav Dusko Ehrlich.  'Everyone was so motivated', said Dr Dusko Ehrlich.  'To have such an exciting project to run - it's a piece of cake. The work went much faster than we expected.'  Professor Raes, who works at Vrike Universiteit Brussel, explained why the microbes warranted such an intensive study: 'Gut flora is crucial for our health. We're basically living in symbiosis with these microbes.

He added, 'The bacteria help digest food, provide vitamins, protect us from invading pathogens.  If there's a disturbance, people get all sorts of diseases such as Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, and a link has also been made to obesity.'

Tips for Detox: Detox Your Mind, Detox Your Body

Detox Your Mind, Detox Your Body

When it comes to learning how to detox your body, one of the most common mistakes it seems people make is forgetting to take their whole body into account.  We are all integrated and holistic beings with a physical body, emotional body, mental body and spiritual energy.  If any one or a combination of these aspects of “us” is out of balance or storing ‘toxins’ in various forms, then it affects the rest of the aspects of us.

So, for the sake of this article, let’s assume that you are wanting to do a body detox and lose some weight or cleanse your colon or what ever you have in mind for your physical cleansing aspect.  If you only focused on that one aspect of your detox, you would not get nearly the results you had hoped for.  For example, what people find is that when they are trying to lose weight with a detox diet, if there are other factors that are inhibiting their cleanse, the weight will not come off.  Then, what happens is you will end up blaming the supplements or the diet itself, when the real problem might be that you are not addressing other core toxic issues in one of these other aspects mentioned.

Addressing Your Mental Detox

Toxic emotional and mental thoughts are also a problem.

A big part of what keeps our bodies holding onto all sorts of toxins is that energetically we don’t know how to release them.  Your body is only the physical structure that is a manifestation or symbol of your emotional, mental and spiritual self.  What you are holding in those other areas will show up in your physical body.  So, in order to really do a thorough body cleanse, you will need to address these issues at some point.  It doesn’t have to mean a bunch of sessions with a therapist or counselor to address your past.  It may involve this if you think that this is an area you could use help with, but it need not.

The whole point is that you are one symbiotic and holistic body.  There are other factors at work than just your diet as a reason why you are accumulating toxins in your cells and tissues.  If your body is functioning at its optimum level, then much of this toxic debris and waste will be naturally flushed through your body’s natural elimination means.  This happens through your breathing (your lungs are a big source of toxic elimination), your sweat by way of exercise and through body elimination processes (urine and stools).  The only reason that your body may be more sluggish in eliminating a build-up of toxins in your colon is because one or all of these aspects of the body detox are not being fully addressed.
