Introduction
Hi there. I’m Jennifer Jolan and I’m going to explain how you can spin around in circles
(just as kids love to do) in order to help you change yourself in three unexpected ways:
1. You’ll lose weight!
2. You’ll re-energize your body!
3. Your overall health should improve!
Yes, I know it seems kind of weird and strange. Please keep an open mind. Sometimes
some of the most obvious things are overlooked. For example, I recently saw taco shells
for sale where the bottom “folded” edges were flat so the taco wouldn’t fall over on the
plate and spill out. Why didn’t anyone think of this obvious answer decades ago? No,
taco shells aren’t the healthiest food around but it’s an example of things that are right in
front of us that nobody considered... until somebody considered it. Then it seems easy
and obvious.
Spinning, just as kids do it, is one of those things that seem obvious once you understand
what really takes place when you do it. Surprising but true. I’m amazed it hasn’t been
part of a healthy workout regimen for ages. Hopefully it will be now.
In this book, I’ll explain the logic and rationale behind spinning. I’ll show you why
spinning around actually works for the health benefits that I just mentioned. And, if you
still don’t believe me after all that you’ve read, then, I simply challenge you to spin
around (as I outline) for 10 to 14 days and prove or disprove it to yourself.
That’s not much to ask, is it?
More Findings
I felt great, had an extra bounce to my step and had the energy of a 4-year old child
without having an energy crash by doing too many spins as the whirling dervishes do.
Happily I also noticed I had become more toned than usual.
Keep in mind I’ve always been in good shape because that is my job. I train and advise
people on how to stay healthy and lose weight. I’m a diet and exercise info junkie and my
clients and readers learn from what I learn.
I’ve always thought “outside the box.” I’ve always done things my own way when it
comes to training and consulting people for weight loss. If the whole world does
something (such as extended aerobics, ugh!), then probably there’s a better, easier, and
healthier way to approach it.
Understand that I already had a grab-bag of “tricks” and “tweaks” to exercising and
dieting that gave people miracle results for weight loss and health.
But the spins – what began for me as a way to boost my energy levels – soon proved to
be another weight loss “trick” I could add to my arsenal. But I wanted to be sure. I
thought I better find out if this really works for weight loss for most people and not just
for me.
This was when I approached some of my personal weight loss clients and explained the
spins to them. Besides the laughing I usually got to begin with, along with the “you’re
crazy” looks when I mentioned all this to them, I made them do it.
It was my feeling that, “Geez, if kids do this naturally, what harm could spinning do to
grown women?”
The proof is in the pudding as they say. Are you interested in my clients’ results?
There was 100% success with only a few bumps along the road.
The Successes
After 14 days of spinning, all my clients had more energy, felt better, looked better, lost a
few pounds (some more than others), and acted more youthful.
Note: Think about all that. Even if my clients didn’t lose weight, spinning would still
be awesome for all the other benefits they experienced. I consider any weight loss an
extra benefit of spinning.
Are you going to lose 10+ pounds in two weeks from spinning alone?
No. That won’t happen.
NOTE: If you want to learn how to lose weight fast, check out some of my other books
and reports here: http://www.amazon.com/Jennifer-
Jolan/e/B004V1ZAB8/ref=sr_tc_2_0?qid=1362756256&sr=8-2-ent.
But I don’t want to get sidetracked. I want to focus on you spinning around like kids. So,
back to our regularly scheduled program...
My clients loved the spinning and they got great results. To this day, they continue to get
great results from spinning.
Spinning has been a success for my personal clients. I first released this report to the
public in a smaller, less detailed format. Since then, over 120,000 people have learned
and enjoyed great health and weight loss results from spinning around in a circle.
Note: You’ll build up quickly. You should be able to do 20 spins easily in less than two
weeks.
Why should you build up to twenty spins?
Some of the women became too dizzy and had a hard time getting normalized from the
dizziness. They simply overdid the spinning. It was too much, too soon and they were
unaccustomed. Their body/mind link couldn’t keep up with too many spins.
Two of the women got sick from nausea. (There are solutions! I’ll tell you about those in
a few moments.)
The women who got too dizzy and the two women who got sick did end up getting used
to spinning within one to two weeks. They didn’t give up and I was proud. They were
rewarded for their persistence with better health and weight loss. They love spinning
now!
There was a happy ending even for those few problem cases.
Staying Level
Your endocrine system controls your overall well-being in that it helps keep your body in
a constant state of homeostasis, or in layman’s terms, your endocrine system wants you
to stay on an “even keel.” You want this for the most part. You never want to be too
hungry, too cold, too hot, too lazy, too energetic, and so on. With rare exceptions you
want to feel as though you’re in control and you’re doing just fine in every way.
Many times in life we want to feel more extreme, and many times in life we accept those
feelings as natural. It’s natural and healthy to feel sadness at the loss of a friend or family
member. It’s natural and healthy to be completely turned on by your spouse. It’s natural
and healthy to feel elation when something good happens to you such as paying off a big
debt or seeing a child’s accomplishment.
But none of us want those extreme feelings to last forever or we couldn’t function in our
other duties. If sadness takes over long after a sad event ends, we find it difficult to get
the energy to work or to be secure and joyful with family whom we love. If we are too
energetic at all times we have difficulty sleeping well because our thoughts are “racing.”
Our endocrine system is monitoring us constantly and is the reason we go from normal to
extremes and also why we can return from the extremes to normal. (We return from the
extremes when our endocrine system is functioning well.) Our endocrine system secretes
whatever hormone our body needs at the time in an attempt to maintain a normal, healthy
level of living. It’s almost like a beautiful ballet act that constantly goes on inside our
bodies without us really being aware of it most of the time.
I realize you don’t want to be bored with anatomy details, but I want to mention the
background behind it all. Those seven glands I mentioned earlier are energy centers for
your body. The cell signals revolve in place at each of the seven locations. They do this
in a circular motion. When I say circular you probably are beginning to realize why
spins can affect our endocrine system.
When cell signals sent by our endocrine system are revolving in place, the signals either
revolve fast, slow, or somewhere in-between. This is important because when they are
revolving fast, you’re in good health and have lots of energy. Everything is going good
with your body.
When they are revolving too slowly, you aren’t in good health and you don’t have much
energy. Too slowly means that you generally just don’t feel good.
Again, our goal is to be somewhere near the middle most of the time, but that doesn’t
seem to be the case if you look at others walking down the street and if you listen to
others talk about the way they feel. Basically, most people aren’t at optimal health.
They’re closer to poor health. Obviously this manifests itself in lack of energy and
obesity.
Their endocrine systems are overworked and overwhelmed
Day 1
Begin your first day with spinning around just five times.
Faster is not necessarily better, but your goal should be to spin around on the faster side
as long as you remain fairly comfortable with the speed. Five times is a base level to try.
If you really want to see the “real” effects of spinning, try 15 to 20 spins.
If you’re hesitant and don’t want to risk extreme dizziness or nausea, just spin five times
on your first set of spins. I don’t want you to have a rough first time and be afraid to spin
in the future.
Once you do this, think through how you feel. Any problems with completing your goal?
How did it go? What is your body telling you?
You goal is this and only this: spin only until you are slightly dizzy. That is your only
goal for each set of spins. That is all you need to do to benefit from spinning and improve
your health as well as lose some weight. The slight dizziness means you affected your
equilibrium some, but you didn’t overdo things the first time.
Note: Excess dizziness can make you feel not-so-good the rest of the day. Obviously.
Just do yourself a favor and trust me. Take it easy and ease into it. Start with five spins
and rest at least a minute before trying to do more, such as a second set of spins.
Pace yourself and take a real inventory the first time. If five spins didn’t really affect you
and you’re not close to being slightly dizzy, try ten or more spins in a row on your next
set.
Keep repeating this until you’ve done at least fifty total spins.
Remember, this is just day one. I want your body and you to get a “feel” for spinning. If
you need a few minutes between each set of spins, take a few minutes. If five spins didn’t
do anything for you, do more. How many? Use your good judgment and guess. Pace
yourself while taking constant inventory of your body and mind. Practice.
Remember:
Slightly dizzy
Slightly dizzy
Slightly dizzy
That’s what you want.
Final Thoughts
I think of this when I think of the life-changing power spinning around in circles has for
people: I don’t gamble, but imagine knowing of a casino where the blackjack dealer
showed his hand before you made your move and didn’t care how many times you beat
him. When would you stop going there? I hope your answer to that question would be a
resounding, “Never!” (Assuming you’re sane that is!)
Well, that is a perfect analogy on the power of spinning around like a child.
Once you discover the powerful health and weight loss benefits of spinning around in a
circle like a child by practicing it daily, why on Earth would you ever stop doing them?
But guess what? I’ve had clients who lost quite a bit of weight and had a huge increase in
energy and lots of other health benefits, and yet, they quit doing them. I cannot fathom
why.
Please, don’t you be one of them.
With that said, it’s time for you to do some spins!
The 20-Second Bathroom Trick for a Super-Charged
Metabolism and a Flood of Energy
By Jennifer Jolan and Rich Bryda
Cold water, hot water, steam, and ice all produce different reactions from your body and
your internal organs. You can leverage this knowledge to increase your energy and
improve your metabolism with virtually no effort.
Here’s My Routine
So here’s exactly what I do. I take my normal shower with the water slightly colder than I
prefer.
I used to take a regular shower using fairly warm water. Going from that to a half minute
or longer of a cold shower was just too much for me, especially in the wintertime.
So I began taking “regular” showers, not using cold water, but using cooler-than-normal
water. This helps my body “ease into” dropping its core temperature at the end. I find that
within about five seconds of entering a slightly cool shower, I no longer notice its cooler
than I used to require. Starting at a cool temperature really helps me succeed at the end of
the shower where I crank it down to as cold as possible.
After I’m done with my normal shower in slightly cool water, I turn the water to as cold
as possible and let it spray all over my body for 20 seconds. That’s it. Just 20 seconds.
Note: I can stand the cold water much longer in the summer, especially if I’ve been
working outside and am hot and miserable from the heat.
After my cold rinse for 20 (or more) seconds, I turn off the water and get a towel and dry
off as quickly as possible!
Again, some days I just can’t bring myself to do this especially on dreary, cold, winter
days. You know what I mean right? But I can consistently do this about four days a
week, especially when it’s not the dead of winter.
One thing to keep in mind is that once you do the cold shower or cold water treading, do
not use hot or warm water on your body for the next 20 minutes. You will be tempted to
do this! But doing so just ruins everything. The warm water will cancel all the effects
your body wants to do to warm you up.
You want to give your body a chance to react to the cold. It is that reaction you need for a
metabolism boost. The metabolism boost remains after the cold shower unless you
shower in hot water.
You’re going to first yell and curse my name when you try the cold showers, but you will
soon think I’m a genius once you see the results. Try them. See for yourself. It’s 20
seconds of torture, but it’s worth it.
More Advantages to Cold Water
The list of advantages of cold water on our bodies is quite extensive.
Here are some of the things:
Enhances your immunity against infections and possibly even cancer
Gives glands (thyroid, adrenals, ovaries/testes) a boost, improving hormone activity
Jump-starts mood and motivation
Cranks up metabolisms to fight problems such as type-2 diabetes, obesity, gout,
rheumatic diseases, depression, and more
Helps to normalize blood pressure
Decreases chronic pain
Trains and improves blood circulation
Detoxifies your body
Fights fatigue
Strengthens exhausted, irritable nerves (this one can really come in handy some
days!)
Rejuvenates, heals, and tones our skin
Deepens our breathing
Helps with insomnia
Improves kidney functioning
Reduces swelling and edema
Improves lymphatic circulation, thereby increasing the ability of our immune
systems
Reduces stress by regulating our autonomic nervous systems
Regulates temperature which in turn helps to fight chronically cold hands and cold
feet and excessive sweating
Keeps our hair healthy
Helps our bodies guard against hemorrhoids and varicose veins
Reduces typical aches and pains
From personal experience, I must say I cannot disagree with this list.
For example, I’ve taken a cold water rinse right before bedtime and I do sleep better.
Perhaps it’s because we sleep more soundly in a cool room, so by cooling down our
bodies before bedtime, we kick-start our sleep cycle’s response.
In addition, I can go through times where my body just won’t warm up or cool down. All
women can relate to this at one time or another. Assuming there isn’t a hormone problem
going on, I did begin to notice that my seemingly-always cold hands and ice-cold feet
didn’t seem to happen as frequently as they used to before the cold rinsing.
And who wouldn’t benefit from a little less depression from time to time? Consider this
research from the Department of Radiation Oncology at Virginia Commonwealth
University School of Medicine:
... indicates that short cold showers may stimulate the brain’s “blue spot”- the brain’s
primary source of noradrenaline — a chemical that could help mitigate depression. I
guess a bout of the blues isn’t so bad after all.
Good News for Men!
Men have been told from time to time to, “Go take a cold shower.” It’s often said to rev
down his engine.
What may surprise you is the Thrombosis Research Institute showed that taking cold
showers can:
...actually increase testosterone production in men. Increased testosterone levels not
only boost a man’s libido, but also his overall strength and energy level. If you’re
looking to increase your testosterone, instead of juicing up like Mark McGwire, hop
into a cold shower.
If you’re a woman and going through fertility counseling right now, this might be a tip to
tell your husband about. Medically, the reason a man’s scrotum hangs down is to keep
his sperm count slightly cooler than his body’s core temperature. The little swimmers do
much better in a slightly cooler environment than a warmer one. This is why couples
having fertility issues are told that the man should always wear boxers to give more room
for ventilation down there.
The cold showers certainly don’t do any harm in that area either.
Experiments done in the 1950s showed that hot baths for men were an effective
contraceptive. Those men who took a half-hour hot bath every other day for three or
more weeks were statistically infertile for as many as the next six months. Recently, the
University of California at San Francisco studied this same issue using men who were
exposed every week to a half hour of “wet heat.” Wet heat primarily included hot baths.
Keep in mind, this was only once a week but when the men eliminated this exposure,
their sperm count went up by almost 500%! Not only that, the sperm’s motility improved
too. While switching from a hot to cold shower may not have quite as dramatic of an
effect, if you’re trying to help you two create a new little life together, those cold showers
surely won’t hurt.
OK, how about we move on?!
Conclusion
The bottom line is this: although nobody likes to begin the day with a cold water shower,
and almost everybody hates taking cold showers from start to finish, and even cold water
treading is difficult for some to endure for just 20 seconds, the wide range of benefits that
cold water treatments can have on us makes it worth the effort to see just what we can
reasonably take.
Remember, it does get easier so don’t judge your long-term success by your first attempt
or two with cold water. You can get used to more than you think. And your skin and the
rest of your body will thank you for it!
If possible, consider doing these 20-second cold water shower rinses twice a day for even
more health benefits.
One Tablespoon of this $6 Supplement Detoxes 900 Yards of
Toxins from Your Body
By Jennifer Jolan and Rich Bryda
Many of the detoxing methods and supplements and elements remove specific toxins
from specific areas of your body. This is fantastic because many toxins sink into your
cells and need to be grabbed out by any means possible.
Still, for the most part, your body does a good job at detoxing itself. When you eliminate
urine and waste, your body has placed toxins in that waste. This is a perfect avenue for
toxin elimination.
When you breathe out, your mucous membranes secrete toxins that leave your body
through your exhaled breath.
When you sweat, your sweat glands are secreting waste out your skin’s pores. Exercising
will improve the flow of those toxins, both from your sweat glands and through your
intensive breathing.
It turns out your skin is a major toxin remover. Not only do your sweat glands secret
toxins, but waste can leave any pore in your body. Cellular and other bodily waste is
eliminated through your pores.
Clay as a Catalyst
As well as clay works on our skin, bentonite clay is also taken internally.
Both on our skin and when we consume it internally, clay is a catalyst. By that I mean it
becomes active in the removal process of toxins from our bodies. Technically, a catalyst
boosts chemical reactions and does so efficiently. Clay’s catalyst action is so efficient it
can remove toxins from our lower colons before they enter our bloodstream. This frees
up nutrients to repair and revitalize our bodies.
In addition to its detoxing benefits, is clay actually the foundation of eternal youth too?
Dr. Alexis Carrel of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research seems to think so
based on his experiments from way back to the 1900’s. Years to Your Health explained
Dr. Carrel’s study this way:
“He managed to sustain the life of cells from a chicken embryo by immersing the cells
in a solution containing all the nutrients necessary for life and changing the solution
daily. The cells took up nutrients from the nutrient-rich broth and excreted their wastes
into the same solution.
“The only thing Dr. Carrel did each day was discard the old solution and replace it with
fresh nutrient solution. The chicken cells lived for 29 years until one night Dr. Carrel’s
assistant forgot to change the polluted solution! We do not know how much longer the
cell’s life could have been maintained. Dr. Carrel concluded at the end of his
experiment that the cell is actually immortal. It is merely the fluid in which it floats
which degenerates.
“He is quoted saying ‘The cell is immortal. Renew this fluid at intervals gives the cell
something on which to feed and, so far as we know, the pulsation of life may go on
forever.’ The average chicken lives about 7 years. His detoxified, properly nourished
chicken cell lived for 29 years.”
The upshot was that Dr. Carrel believed we don’t get old because of time. Instead, we get
old due to toxin build-up at the cell level. As it builds and our bodies cannot keep up, cell
breakdowns begin to cause “aging.”
Face Exercise #2
For this one, open your mouth as wide as you can. This exercise is almost identical to the
one above, but for this one do not stick out your tongue.
The main benefit of this exercise is to firm up your cheeks and jowls.
Keep your mouth open in this position for 10 seconds. Rest 10 to 15 seconds and repeat
four to nine more times.
Here is a picture:
Note: Form and ease is more important than numbers when you first begin. Do as many
as you feel comfortable as you go through these. If your face begins to tire, do fewer
repetitions until you build up your facial muscles so you can do more. It won’t take
long.
Face Exercise #3
Tilt your head back and stick your chin out as far as possible but while you do this, tense
your neck. The main benefit of this exercise is to firm up your neck and get rid of double
chins.
Note: Simplicity does not mean these are ineffective. Quite the opposite. Take these
simple facial exercises seriously. Do them consistently. You will soon be rewarded
with better skin and a face you like better!
Hold this position for ten seconds. Rest 10 to 15 seconds and repeat four to nine more
times.
Here is a picture:
Face Exercise #4
Open your eyes as wide as possible. This exercise helps with wrinkles around the eyes,
puffiness under the eyes, and it firms up the area right above your eyes
Keep your eyes open like this for ten seconds. Rest 10 to 15 seconds and repeat four to
nine more times.
Here is a picture:
Face Exercise #5
With each of these, you are changing ever so slightly, working on a slightly different area
each time.
With your mouth open, clench your teeth together and tense your neck. This helps
eliminate any sagging and double chins.
Hold this position for ten seconds. Rest for 10 to 15 seconds and repeat four to nine more
times.
Here is a picture:
Note: I guess my niece was trying to scare us with this picture!
Face Exercise #6
Puff out your cheeks like a balloon. Puff as much as possible with as much air in your
mouth as you can hold. If you need to, put a finger up to your mouth to hold the air in.
Then exhale. This helps to firm up your cheeks and get rid of wrinkles. Hold this position
for ten seconds then exhale. Rest 10 to 15 seconds and repeat nine more times.
Here are a couple of pictures:
Face Exercise #7
Close your eyes. Tense your eyelids to the point that you can feel your eyes jumping
around under them. Then open your eyes.
This exercise helps to firm up loose sagging skin all around your eyes and gets rid of
wrinkles in the area.
Hold your eyes closed like this for five to ten seconds. Open them and rest for 15
seconds. Repeat this four to nine more times.
Note: Remember to tense your eyelids; don’t just close your eyes as you normally do.
Here is a picture:
Face Exercise #8
Keep your head back and stick your chin out as far as possible. This one will help with
double chins and firm up sagging skin.
Hold this position for ten seconds. Rest for ten seconds. Repeat for four to nine more
times.
Here is a picture:
Face Exercise #9
Take your two thumbs and press about an inch under your chin. Each thumb should be
about at the corner of each side of your mouth if you were to draw a line downwards.
What you are doing is pressing your thumbs into your lymph nodes under the chin. This
is a soft, pliable area under your chin.
Keep your thumbs pressed into this area for 10 seconds. Rest 10 seconds and then repeat
9 more times. Here is a picture:
Face Exercises #10
There are four pictures needed for face exercise number ten. The exercises in this group
are acupressure exercises on specific reflexology points in your face and neck.
By pressing these reflexology points in a clockwise motion with your finger (or an eraser
of a pencil which is what I do) you will firm up your face and look young. I’m not an
expert in the science behind reflexology, but these acupressure/reflexology exercises
work incredibly well.
My face firmed up and looked younger within five days of doing these.
When I combined the other facial exercises with the acupressure/reflexology, my results
were astonishing. I had a healthier looking face that looked noticeably younger. I must
have gotten at least eight comments from my friends noticing how much younger and
better my face looked.
Back to the exercise. Press a pencil eraser moderately into your skin at each
reflexology/acupressure point. Move it in a small clockwise motion at that point. Do this
for 10 to 15 seconds at each point.
I don’t follow a particular order, and you don’t have to either. I usually start around the
eyes.
Here is what I recommend: Do these acupressure/reflexology point exercises for 10-15
minutes a day for the first two weeks. After that, you can cut back to five minutes a day.
Note: Be careful around your mouth. If you’ve ever gotten a cold sore around your
mouth, being too vigorous with the reflexology/acupressure points around the mouth
may cause a rash.
You can even skip the mouth points and just do the other facial exercises that help with
the jowls area (sides of your mouth).
Here are the four pictures that show this complete movement. (By the way, I tried to
point out the acupressure points with some numbers. When I didn’t think they’re all that
readable, I had my niece add lines to “touch” the points in the third figure. I think the end
result, however, is that we can all agree I’d better stick to health, diet, and beauty and
perhaps not tell my niece the next time I need graphics!)
Face Exercises #11
This exercise is the face tap. Simply tap all over your face and neck with your fingers
tips. Just light taps. Do this for one minute twice a day.
The benefit of this is that the tapping helps the circulation of blood throughout your face.
This helps the blood to feed and nourish all your facial tissues and muscles keeping them
more elastic, flexible, and young.
There is no picture of this. The exercise is self-explanatory.
In Conclusion
With these face exercises, I promise that if you do them as I outlined them you will look
younger and have a more vibrant, younger looking face. You can spare a few TV
commercial time for a few weeks to do these exercises.
You have no excuse not to!
About 2 weeks from the start of this facial exercise program, you can expect the bare
minimum to look at least a little younger; and perhaps 5 or more years younger. You may
immediately begin to get comments about the incredible changes in your appearance
from friends, family, and co-workers. Try the exercises and prove it to yourself.
The 50-Cent Miracle Weight Loss Food You’re Not Eating
By Jennifer Jolan and Rich Bryda
Walk down any grocery store aisle in the industrialized world and you might see tens of
thousands of “fat-free” products. Ever since our government decided it would dictate
what is healthy and what is not, we’ve been told that fat makes us fat. The food makers
followed that lead and began 30+ years ago with fat-free everything.
And for 30+ years, we have been getting fatter and fatter and fatter.
Hmmm.
Maybe… Do you think… Is it just possible that fat does not make us fat and that
reducing fat consumption may do the opposite of what we’ve been told all this time?
(A sneak peak at the answer below: Yes.)
The food ideas that the government promote literally says: eat more unhealthy foods than
healthy foods.
If this surprises you, please understand that grains, the entire bottom layer of the FDA’s
food pyramid, are bad for you. Grains turn to sugar almost as quickly as pure sugar turns
to sugar. Yes, the fiber is okay for you but the heavy fiber recommendations that have
been touted for the past many years is nothing but laxative-maker income as doctors such
as William Campbell Douglass have for years been saying. You’ll get plenty of fiber
through vegetables and nuts.
Fruit actually turns to sugar in your blood stream more quickly than grains and the FDA
has said you need lots of fruit, almost as much as grains, in your daily diet. Sugar piles up
on top of sugar.
I’m a huge fan of vegetables, but not all vegetables are created equal. Starches such as
corn and potatoes are horrible and do you know why? Because they turn to sugar rapidly
in your body! Some vegetables, however, are fabulous as opposed to flabulous. I’m going
to tell you about one as soon as I get off my soapbox.
Note: In a recent show, Dr. Oz mocked low-carb diets by saying he tried one for 24
hours and was jittery and anxious by lunchtime. What he dishonestly (perhaps he just
didn’t realize the truth) led viewers to believe is that his lack of fruits and grains that
morning made him jittery. The truth was more likely that his body was going through
major sugar withdrawals.
At least the FDA didn’t put meat on the very top of the food pyramid. But they want you
to eat far less meat and milk and cheese than sugar in the form of grains, fruits, and
indiscriminate vegetables. And fat… such as nuts and olive oil and the fats in healthy
vegetables? Fat is the worst offender they say. So the FDA put the fats on the very top.
Fat makes you fat right?
You know the answer; at least you know what I say the answer is.
George McGovern headed the committee that developed the government’s food
suggestions a few decades ago. He headed the McGovern Committee that gave America
and the world the food pyramid.
What’s important to us is that the McGovern Committee was loaded with animal rights
organization members that knew it couldn’t get America to end its healthy love affair
with meat overnight. Instead, they began promoting heavily the use of sugars on top of
sugars, or as they call them, grains and fruits and starchy vegetables, in an effort to get
Americans to eat less meat. Along the way they came to the completely unscientific and
constantly-disproved notion that fats in food make us fat so the number one enemy of
their committee was fat. (NOTE: I love animals, don’t get me wrong. What I don’t love
is hidden agendas.)
Did you know your brain is composed mostly of fat?
Your brain requires fat to be healthy.
So you have two choices:
1. Make your brain fat with non-nutritional sugar from grains and lots and lots of
fruits and starchy vegetables, or
2. Supply your brain with healthy fats that don’t add poundage to your hips and
thighs by eating healthy meats, good dairy, and get plenty of fats from nuts and
oils such as coconut, flaxseed, good non-starchy vegetables, and olive oils.
As for me and my house, we’ll eat lots and lots of fats. But we’ll eat healthy fats like the
ones in #2 above.
Note: Did you know that farmers feed calves skim milk when they want to fatten up the
calves?
We turn the government’s food pyramid upside down. And our family’s blood screenings
which we get annually show the direct results of eating extremely little grain except as a
“treat” once in a while, far more fibrous vegetables than fruits, no fruit juices, a vast
amount of cage-free organic eggs, grass-fed beef, free-range chickens, wild Alaskan
salmon, nuts, seeds, olive oil, macadamia nut oil, flaxseed, coconut, and other oils that
our brains soak up and utilize those good fats and nutritional foods like a sponge.
(Oh… and one more little vegetable will add a tremendous bonus to your health and
waistline. I’m about to tell you about it.)
The reason we’re fat as a society must be something else besides fat in our diets. Only
two options remain: protein or carbohydrates. All those sugars with non-sugary names
aren’t made from protein; those are carbohydrates. It’s the carbs making us fat and
squeezing far more fat matter into our brains where we function far less effectively
resulting in our brains being hampered from keeping us fit and trim.
Let me begin this with a special warning – The results herein are had by some, but not by
all. I get praise for furthering this information. I also get told it doesn’t work.
Which is it?
Turns out, if you have gray hair and the following advice does not reverse it, you’ll still
be healthier if you do it. This information loads up your body with tons of nutrients like
no other.
So, if you want to reverse graying hair, your hair may benefit as some other people’s do.
Some combination of this and whatever the person’s doing already seems to be the key to
work that wonder. But if your hair doesn’t begin to reverse, your “feeling your age” just
might because the thing I’m about to tell you about is a power-packed goodie!
If you live in a small town without a fresh wheatgrass source and you don’t have room or
money for a juicer, you will benefit from a high quality wheatgrass powder such as the
organic Wheat Grass Juice powdered Green Superfood here:
http://www.amazon.com/Now-Foods-Organic-Powder-4-Ounce/dp/B0014M1WA0
The manufacturer NOW uses a cold temperature drying process to ensure that no
vitamins or nutrients are destroyed going from the fresh wheat grass to the powered form
here. I use 1-3 tablespoons of this wheat grass juice powder daily.
How to Get Rid of Allergies in 90 Seconds with Water
By Jennifer Jolan and Rich Bryda
The neti pot (rhymes with Betty pot) is a small pot, often made of ceramic, in which you
put a saline (salty) solution and use it to irrigate your nose’s nasal passageways. The
process of using a neti pot is also called nasal irrigation or nasal flushing.
The neti pot is an effective way to detox your nose.
Your nose plays an active role in your body’s normal detoxification process. Mucus is
formed and excreted through your nose. (Mucus is also excreted through your mouth
when it builds up to excess levels such as when you are sick, have sinus infections, or
when there is such a temporary build-up of mucus that your nose cannot handle it alone.)
Normally, your nose drains mucus normally and without fuss. You don’t notice much of
its activity. Just by breathing, some of the mucus dries and evaporates. Like sweat that
leaves your pores and evaporates, detoxing your body through your skin, normal
breathing will expel small amounts of mucus and drainage that evaporates out of your
system. Sometimes you’ll need a tissue to blow your nose, even when feeling fine. By
blowing you are helping to expel the mucus and other waste from your body.
Nasal irrigation is said to promote good sinus and nasal health. This includes people with
chronic sinusitis that can include symptoms of facial pain, headache, halitosis, cough,
anterior rhinorrhea (watery discharge), and nasal congestion. These patients often find
nasal irrigation using a neti pot to provide effective relief. In published studies, “daily
hypertonic saline nasal irrigation [fancy talk for using a neti pot] improves sinus-related
quality of life, decreases symptoms, and decreases medication use in patients with
frequent sinusitis.”
As long as you follow your neti pot’s instructions, it has no major side effects to speak
of. When you feel yourself getting sick, it’s time to ramp up your use of the neti pot. But
even when you feel fine, a neti pot helps unclog and eliminate mucus and drainage,
thoroughly cleaning out your sinuses. By using a neti pot from time to time, or even on a
regular basis when feeling good, you help reduce potential infections that can build up in
your nasal cavity and you promote a cleaner air system in your body. The neti pot is also
beneficial for those who suffer from allergies.
We’re just now studying the effects of this new exercise craze for an old stand-by
exercise, but we wanted to tell you about it because you may find it not only great for fat
loss, but also exhilarating and great for your long term health!
The exercise is called Standing Vertical Jumps, SVJ’s. Boring you may think, but I hope I
can convince you just how revolutionary this simple exercise can be for transforming the
body and improving your health. It’s an easy exercise.
Easier almost always means better compliance. Better compliance to a routine means a
better waistline and well-being for you!
A simple trick that takes only a few seconds to do can improve your energy and even
help you with a hypothyroid problem.
A little background will help.
Hypothyroidism
Fatigue-related thyroid problems are grouped together into a category known as
hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism is the result of an under-active thyroid that produces too
few thyroid hormones. Hypothyroidism, therefore, is a deficiency in thyroid hormones.
You can exercise all day but you just won’t lose weight or keep it off if you have a
hypothyroid problem. Your body won’t allow proper weight loss because your body
cannot properly regulate itself.
There is just not enough thyroid activity to metabolize the fat.
Women are especially prone to hypothyroidism and get hypothyroidism almost ten-to-
one over men. The most common age range is in the 40’s where hypothyroidism seems to
flare up the most.
As you age, you naturally move less. You can stay active if you consciously exercise and
eat right, but life often makes that a challenge about the age of 40 and hypothyroidism
problems begin to rear their ugly head.
By moving less because you feel so tired, you don’t get the daily benefit of normal
caloric burning through movement as much as you would if you were more active.
Hyperthyroidism
Your thyroid doesn’t just cause problems by being sluggish.
The opposite of hypothyroidism is hyperthyroidism. That is when your thyroid goes into
hyper-activity. At first you might think hyperthyroidism is beneficial because if
hypothyroidism makes you gain weight, then shouldn’t we all strive for hyperthyroidism?
No, not at all.
We should all strive for a balanced thyroid. We want our thyroid hormone group to be at
its optimum level the way they were designed to be.
The autoimmune disease known as Graves Disease is a type of hyperthyroidism.
Fortunately, only a small number of people are susceptible to hyperthyroidism, around
2% for women and only about 0.2% of men. Excess sweating, hypersensitivity to heat,
severe weight loss, and diarrhea can be present in hyperthyroidism’s symptoms. You
might note these are almost the mirror-image of hypothyroidism’s symptoms of being
cold all the time, weight gain, and constipation.
You want neither hyperthyroidism not hypothyroidism. Since hypothyroidism is the more
common of the two problems by far, the next trick is a way to help side-step possible
hypothyroid problems, or at least reduce its effects.
The Routine
Your thyroid gland is located on the lower-front part of your neck. This is where the
“hole” is in your next.
All you need to do is tap your thyroid. I call this the T-Tap.
This physical tapping of your thyroid gland stimulates an under-active thyroid to become
more normalized. Take one or two of your fingers and tap your thyroid with your
fingertips for 15 seconds at a time. Repeat this throughout the day as you think of it.
I recommend you do the T-Tap for a total of about three minutes, in 15-second intervals,
each and every day.
You will need to do these neck taps daily and for at least a few weeks. They’re easy and
quick so I recommend that you do them every day for the rest of your life. You can do it
whenever and wherever, even when you’re watching TV, so make an effort to do them so
your thyroid can get back to a normal functioning level.
The T-Tap may not solve your Hypothyroidism all by itself, but at the very least it most
definitely will help.

I will be the first to tell you to avoid sugars like the plague!
I will also say I’m the first to crave sugars from time to time. I found that the better I eat,
meaning the further I stray from the government’s suggested Food Pyramid, the less I
crave dangerous sugary desserts. But from time to time, everyone needs something
sweet.
