Health benefits of taking naps!

Time to put the world on pause and take a while to recharge!


One of the secrets to long life that centurions share, besides a proper nutritional profile, is taking naps.  Naps seem to accompany success.  Some famous nappers include:  Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, and Ronald Reagan!

The hustle and bustle of business life can really tax the body and test the mind.  In the United States, sleep deprivation is prevalent.  The pressure to perform, make quotas, and deliver results often translates to very early mornings and late nights at the grindstone.  It seems that when productivity and earning needs a boost, the first thing to suffer is our sleep, but could that be more costly in the long run?  Studies show that the risk and seriousness of some diseases significantly increases when inadequate sleep over a long period of time is added to the equation.  It is thought that bad sleepers are more likely to have heart disease and even 5 times more likely to develop type 2 diabetes than those who catch all their needed Zs.  There are many figures tossed out about how many hours of sleep you need every night, but it seems to hover around 7 or 8 hours from one expert to the next.  The best bet is to not let your nightly routine fall below 6 hours as deep cycle sleep, known as Rapid Eye Movement or REM sleep, is crucial for brain function and we simply perform at a lower level mentally when we are behind on catching REM sleep.  If you can find a place where you will not be disturbed and get from 15 minutes to an hour nap, it can make a tremendous difference.  A NASA study concluded that naps could improve performance of pilots up to a whopping 30% and their alertness by 95%!  15 to 20 minute naps can have a huge impact on your health and sharpness, but if you are behind on sleep, try to take an hour.

India's Rice Revolution - Without GMO's




Sumant Kumar harvested his rice last year in Darveshpura ( north-east India ) and was shocked. Kumar is a shy - young farmer from Nalanda district of India's poorest state Bihar. He is reported to have used only farmyard manure and without any herbicides managed to grow 22.4 tonnes of rice on one hectare of land. This was a world record and great news! Non-GMO and no pesticides! WIN!


His record not only beat the 19.4 tonnes achieved by the "father of rice", but also the World Bank-funded scientists at the International Rice Research Institute in the Philippines, and anything achieved by the biggest European and American seed and GM companies!!

The Top 10 Worst Sources Of Aspartame

This ingredient is the most contested FDA approved substance in history.

  1. Chewing Gum - 
  2. Flavored water 
  3. Sugar-Free Products 
  4. Drink Powders
  5. Cooking Sauces 
  6. Childrens medicines 
  7. Cereals 
  8. Yogurts 
  9. Diet Sodas 
  10. Tabletop sweeteners


There is nothing sweet about this artificial sweetener!

Did you know that aspartame can mix with other chemicals such as monosodium glutamate and cause even worst reactions within the body?  Aspartame has been linked to several different cancers and even degenerative brain conditions.  Consuming aspartame regularly will burn out neurons and has been linked to headaches, mood alterations and even brain tumors.  Although it is touted as a healthy and sweeter alternative to sugar, this chemical actually causes diabetes and may also cause obesity.  If you are surprised than maybe consider the fact that aspartame was developed in a bio-weapons lab!  And what's more, part of the process for manufacturing aspartame is to harvest excrement from bacteria and treat it with more chemicals.  Unfortunately this chemical, originally sold by Monsanto Corp, is now being re-branded under different names to avoid the reputation behind the poison.  There are currently efforts underway to include aspartame in milk without labeling it, even though aspartame is contained in many products already that do not list it as one of the ingredients.  Next time you are shopping, be weary of "light" or "diet" products in the grocery isle, and make sure you check the ingredients.

How using a sauna can improve your health

If you are not in the hot seat, you may want to be...

Our environment is filled with pollution.  Among these are air, water, food, sound, and bad attitudes.  It should be no surprise that heat can help melt the stress away and help us flush out toxins.

Saunas are great for getting away from the grind of the day and collect your thoughts.  The stress relief is just one part of the overall benefit from regular sauna use.  The heating effect causes improved blood circulation which can help improve healing.  Also, heat has been known to relieve pain, especially resulting from strenuous physical activity.  Sauna use is also thought to help ease pain resulting from arthritis.  When the body's temperature is raised a certain amount, endorphins are released which help to relax and relieve pain.  The increased blood flow also improves skin health while toxins and bacteria are removed from the pores via sweat.  Using a sauna can improve heart health, it has been shown to effect the heart rate and can be used to strengthen heart muscles and is believed to help people enjoy a deeper sleep.  Always be careful to not stay in the sauna for too long and avoid saunas if you are pregnant or have some health problems.

The Sad Truth About GMO Foods


GMO's are almost everywhere in America but banned in many other countries. They say that about 75 to 90% of mass produced food in the U.S. is now GMO. Studies have shown GMO's to NOT be healthy or worth the time. The false claims are that GMO's can grow larger and need less pesticide. This may be the case in SOME of the cases but not all. What usually ends up happening is Monsanto creates this new DNA strain so they can patent it and sell as much as possible to the farmers. The catch? You must buy their seed every year - if caught growing any patented plants they will sue you for all your worth - And you must use their pesticides.


 It sounds to me like this is more about control than helping feed the world. There are natural ways to keep animals and pests from eating your crops. You don't need high tech poisons that are administered with "gas masks". The people that assume GMO's are safe are usually the same ones that refuse to accept cannabis oil as a cancer cure. These people will repeat anything they see on TV as fact. The problem is that they don't know the truth. The ones that do: Keep doing what you do best. Provide solutions. Buy local. Grow your own. Cook from scratch. - You do have the time. You do have the money. It is not faster or easier to make or consume "fast food" or GMO products. Think long term. If you love your family and the future generations we must put a stop to playing god with our food.

Garlic does more than you think!

Flavor doesn't even scratch the surface:


Photo by Francesco Perito

Used in food and medicine for several thousands of years, garlic is used across the world from Asia to South America.  Though the flavor is popular, studies are now showing that natural compounds in garlic have some potent healing effects.



Allicin, the super antioxidant:  Many experts agree that the main active ingredient in garlic is allicin.  Allicin is a compound that is created when you damage the cell walls of garlic cloves by chopping or crushing the garlic.  Studies have shown that allicin breaks down and rapidly interacts with free radicals in the body helping to prevent tissue damage in people who eat it regularly.  Allicin is also believed to have powerful antibiotic properties.

Garlic for your heart:  Heavy antioxidant activity in garlic helps protect against damage to tissue and prevent heart disease, but some studies even suggest that garlic can help prevent blood clots.  What's more, eating a bulb or two of crushed garlic daily can possibly help to scrub away plaque buildup in the blood vessels and reverse heart disease.

Fight cancer naturally:  Garlic has been shown to slow the spread of different types of cancers in studies on rats.  Since garlic helps to fight harmful free radicals, it lowers the risk of cancers developing in the body.  Some studies suggest that garlic contains compounds that stimulate production of anti cancer enzymes.  Garlic oil is also believed to shrink tumors.

Garlic is truly a wonder herb.  It has antiviral properties, anti fungal properties, fights bacteria, helps with cholesterol, manages blood pressure, and greatly boosts antioxidant activity in the body.  Remember that many experts are recommending 1 to 3 cloves of garlic a day, finely minced or crushed.  Although cooked and dried garlic is shown to have some of the same health benefits as fresh cloves, the potency is no comparison and fresh pulverized garlic is the best for healing.  To maximize the healing potential and get all the anticancer benefits, break down the clove finely and let sit for 10 to 15 minutes before consuming.  Mix with some olive oil and dip some gluten free bread into it for a great heart saving snack!

Just a few tips for people in search of love. From a person that has had many relationships... epic failures to epic success. The words of wisdom that I would like to share... is this: Find someone who makes you laugh - someone that you aren't afraid to be yourself around. Looks are not the most important thing. Find a kind heart and a gentle soul. Don't be afraid to travel to find your love. Never give up hope. Your soul mate is looking just as hard for you right now as you are looking for them. All will be well. And this tends to help a lot of people... Remember that some day someone will walk into your life and it will suddenly make sense why all those past relationships failed. :)

-Walnuts are rich in B vitamins.  Among these are pantothenic acid, riboflavin, folates, and niacin.  B vitamins help the body manage energy levels and build new blood cells.

-Walnuts are loaded with omega 3 essential fatty acids.  Just 25 grams of walnut will yield about 90% of your daily need for omega 3 fats.  These fatty acids are absolutely crucial for good health and not only help to manage blood pressure but can also naturally prevent heart disease by lowering bad cholesterol and raising good cholesterol levels in the body.

Walnuts are a great brain food!: http://www.naturalcuresnotmedicine.com/2013/03/brain-foods-that-improve-memory.html

-Walnut oil can be used to help the skin.  It has astringent properties and can also protect against dryness.

-Walnuts are packed with phytonutrients that could boost the overall antioxidant properties of these nuts.  Included are vitamin E, melatonin, carotenoids, and poly-phenolic compounds which could be effective against cancer, inflammation, aging, and neurological disorders.

-Walnuts have a great amount of vitamin E.  Vitamin E helps prevent damage to cells in the body by guarding against oxygen free radicals.
