			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Contrary to popular belief, learning how to live a healthy life doesn&#8217;t require you to sacrifice most things you&#8217;re accustomed to. Sure, there are those who like taking their healthy lifestyle to a whole new level, but that doesn&#8217;t mean you have to do the same. Everyone has their own way of staying fit in mind and body.</p>
<p>These 3 easy tips will get you started on the right track in living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle:</p>
<p>Tip # 1 on how to live a healthy life: Draw a line between professional and personal.</p>
<p>The office can get a little stressful, especially when your job demands you to be constantly on your feet. It might have escaped your notice that you&#8217;re putting in more hours at the office than what is regular for the past three months. Or that you&#8217;re taking your work home more than usual.</p>
<p>Separate your professional and personal time. All guidance counselors and psychologists will tell you that all work and no play can be bad for your health.</p>
<p>Tip # 2 on how to live a healthy life: Switch your regular oil to extra virgin olive oil.</p>
<p>A lot of celebrity chefs these days are advocating the use of extra virgin olive oil. If you want to start living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle, keep this in mind on your next grocery trip.</p>
<p>Extra virgin olive oil is best known for lowering the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Other reports also claim that it lowers the risk of cancers as well.</p>
<p>Unlike regular oil, extra virgin olive oil lowers your cholesterol levels. Replacing your regular oil to this healthier version can even make the result of your recipe even tastier as it is more flavorful.</p>
<p>Tip # 3 on how to live a healthy life: Watch your weight.</p>
<p>Strive to maintain your ideal weight. A lot of people don&#8217;t really feel like they have a diet issue, but are shocked when the doctor or nutritionist tells them that they&#8217;re overweight or underweight. How do you know whether you have an issue or not? Consult your doctor.</p>
<p>Another way to check is by calculating your body mass index (BMI). It&#8217;s basically a comparison of your height and your weight. There is a mathematical equation for calculating your BMI, but you can also check this Web site out: nhlbisupport.com/bmi. This Web site automatically provides you your BMI as soon as you key in your height and your weight.</p>
<p>Aren&#8217;t these steps on how to live a healthy life so easy? Anyone who says that changing lifestyles will require you to give up all that you have known, is clearly too afraid to take the challenge, or is just not determined enough to make a difference.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Next to lung cancer, it is colon cancer that is serves as cancer killer to many. This is basically because of the sad fact that the body have not changed but the food that the body is taking have greatly become quite harmful. The ingredients of many of the food we can but in the market has proven to have adverse effects that turns into various forms of diseases including various types of cancers.</p>
<p>Some of the examples of foods that are unhealthy for the body include those with antibiotics, preservatives, and hormones, refined sugar, white rice, white flour, hydrogenated oil, pasta, corn syrup that is high on fructose, and a lot more that are destroying your system slowly while you do not even have the slightest idea about it. Thus, it is essential that these harmful substances be removed from your body immediately. This is the purpose of bowel movements-to expel wastes from your system.</p>
<p>A person who regularly makes bowel movements is actually healthy. It is good to make at least one bowel movement a day. If you are not achieving this, then you are well on your way to a disease. At the present, one of the most common problems associated with bowel movement experienced by many is constipation. This takes place when the fecal matter&#8217;s stay in the bowel system is prolonged, resulting in their fermentation. When this happens, they are reabsorbed by the system and they decay. This gives refuge to a would-be breeding ground for dangerous, even deadly diseases such as colon cancer.</p>
<p>To prevent this from happening to you, it is best to detoxify through a colon cleanse diet. Detoxification is a process wherein toxins are either taken out from your body, neutralized or transformed and thereafter clear the excess congestion and mucus. A colon cleanse diet as well as a healthy lifestyle can make this possible.</p>
<p>On the whole, a colon cleanse diet is a diet which comprises foods and drinks that are free from preservatives, caffeine, sugar, alcohol, and such substances that contain toxins. If you are a smoker, stopping the use of cigarettes or tobacco will e of substantial help. It is also advisable that you incorporate probiotics in your colon cleanse diet for replenishing the intestinal flora. In essence, a colon cleanse diet would, by and large, be comprised of fruits and vegetables. If you cannot completely remove them from your diet, then try your best to cut down on your processed food intake to hold off toxins from your digestive system and prevent mucus buildup and plaque from forming in it.</p>
<p>For those digestive systems however that already built up toxins and plaques, you can still free your system from these undesirables. The rule to follow should be a slow but regular elimination so that toxins will stop from building up and food intake will be properly digested and used by the body. This will allow your nutrition to be optimized to its fullest use that will allow for your body&#8217;s vitality and rejuvenation. The process may take years, even decades. The important thing is you start it now before it becomes too late.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-42" src="http://loisurluni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/150797-main_Full-300x225.jpg" alt="150797-main_Full" width="240" height="180" />The premise of an alkaline diet is that the nutrients found in supplements, alkalizing foods, and water can  bring the body back to balance. These vitamins, minerals, and herbs infuse the body with new energy, vitality, and better health.</p>
<p>Alkaline foods and water must be consumed in order to provide nutrients the body needs to neutralize acids and toxins in the blood, lymph, tissues, and cells.</p>
<p>When pH balance inside the body is ‘out of balance’  the body tries to correct that sensitive pH balance. That process shows up as uncomfortable symptoms,  including colds, flues, allergies, diseases, viruses, and bacteria.</p>
<p>When the pH level in our body is unbalanced, almost any area of the body can be affected. For example when the nervous system is effected as the result of unbalanced pH balance it shows up in the form of the depression. When cardiovascular system is effected we could have heart disease or experience other heart-related problems, including thickening and hardening of the arteries, coronary heard disease, pain or discomfort in the chest, stroke, high blood pressure, and heart failure. When muscles are effected we often feel fatigue and lack of energy. When skin is effected by improper pH balance we age quicker than normal.</p>
<p>When the body’s pH level is in balance, the body reaches ideal weight and corrects negative health challenges naturally.</p>
<p>Transition to a more alkaline healthy diet requires a shift in attitude towards food. The important point to remember is that small changes go a long way. Add more alkaline foods to your diet gradually.</p>
<p>7 Sure-fire ways to make alkaline diet benefit you:</p>
<p>1) Reduce the consumption of sugar and products made from sugar, including soda pop, pies, ice cream, jello, jams &amp; jellies, artificial juices, puddings, doughnuts, corn syrups, chewing gum, sweetened drinks, cookies, breakfast cereals, liqueurs, mixed drinks.</p>
<p>2) Avoid processed foods and condiments including ketchup, salad dressings, pickles, luncheon meats, canned fruits, breads, relish, cheese dips, peanut butter, prepared seafood, frozen vegetables, crackers, canned soups, hot dogs, sausages, sweetened yogurt.</p>
<p>3) Avoid cooking and heating foods and drinks in microwave.</p>
<p>4) Avoid dairy, meats, fried foods and fast foods.</p>
<p>5) Increase your consumption of raw vegetables and raw fresh fruits (without sugar). You should include raw vegetables in every meal. If your breakfast is so small that you only eat toast or cereal, stop eating toast and take fresh fruits or vegetable juices instead. If your lunches are usually consist of sandwiches  try to substitute it with a raw salad or a vegetable juice. Have a large salad before you eat a heavy entree at dinner. This way, you will be sure to eat all of the salad instead of finding yourself too full to finish it.</p>
<p>6) Grains form the base of a balanced diet and are important in maintaining the alkaline balance in the body. Grains are great source of vitamins, minerals, and essential nutrients, including folic acid, fiber, carbohydrates antioxidants and phytoestrogens.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-36" src="http://loisurluni.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/coconut_oil-300x300.jpg" alt="coconut_oil" width="210" height="210" />It is a common misconception that coconut oil is bad for you. People all over the world are experiencing the healthy benefits of using coconut oil. It is actually one of the healthiest oils you can consume. Here are the top seven reasons why you should use coconut oil as an alternative to other common cooking oils.</p>
<p>1. Coconut oil doesn&#8217;t turn to fat in your body.</p>
<p>Unlike many other common oils, like soy (vegetable) and corn, coconut oil won&#8217;t make you fat. Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCT), which are an easy fuel for the body to burn, without turning to fat. Most other cooking oils and fats contain long-chain triglycerides (LCT). LCT&#8217;s are usually stored as fat. Since coconut oil is a MCT, it is more easily absorbed and converted to energy quicker.</p>
<p>People in the tropics have relied on coconuts as a traditional staple in their diet for centuries. They consume large amounts of coconut oil every day. Instead of getting fatter, it helps them stay healthy, lean and trim. When they switch from coconut oil to our modern oils, they develop obesity and the health problems that our modern society faces.</p>
<p>Some other people who have known this truth for a long time are people who are in the animal feed business. When livestock are fed vegetable oils, they put on weight and produce more fatty meat. When they are fed coconut oil, they become very lean.</p>
<p>2. Coconut oil increases your metabolism.</p>
<p>Not only does coconut oil convert to energy quicker in your body, it increases your metabolism, which promotes weight loss. Because it boosts your metabolism, it helps your body burn fat more effectively.</p>
<p>Coconut oil may triple your calorie burn. Since coconut oil is a MCT, it is converted to energy so quickly that it creates a lot of heat. In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, MCT&#8217;s burn three times more calories for six hours after a meal than LCT&#8217;s.</p>
<p>The February 15, 2005 issue of Woman&#8217;s World magazine stated that coconut oil is the &#8220;underground high-metabolism secret.&#8221;</p>
<p>This is great news for people who have thyroid problems, since coconut oil improves sluggish thyroids by stimulating the production of extra thyroid hormones. Most other common oils, like vegetable (soy) and corn have been shown to inhibit thyroid function.</p>
<p>3. Coconut oil has omega 3 fatty acids.</p>
<p>Most cooking oils contain omega 6 fatty acids, something we get way too much of in the United States. Our omega 6 to omega 3 ratio should be 1:1 but it is more like 50:1. We need to drastically cut back our omega 6 oils and consume much more omega 3 oils to be healthy. And coconut oil is filled with these healthy omega 3 fatty acids.</p>
<p>4. Coconut oil gives you energy.</p>
<p>Because of the healthy omega 3 fatty acids and the fact that it increases the metabolism, most people that switch to coconut oil feel a burst of added energy in their daily life.</p>
<p>This is because coconut oil is nature’s richest source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT&#8217;s), which increase metabolic rates and lead to weight loss. MCT&#8217;s promote thermogenesis, which increases the body&#8217;s metabolism, producing energy.</p>
<p>This is because coconut oil is nature’s richest source of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT&#8217;s), which increase metabolic rates and lead to weight loss. MCT&#8217;s promote thermogenesis, which increases the body&#8217;s metabolism, producing energy. Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome and fibromyalgia have found that adding coconut and coconut oil to their diet was helpful to them.</p>
<p>5. One of the best things you can use on your skin and hair is coconut oil.</p>
<p>Coconut oil one of the best things you can apply directly on your skin and hair. It gives temporary relief to skin problems like rashes. It aids in healing and restoring skin to a younger appearance. It has also been known to help with people who suffer from yeast infections in the skin, as well as many other skin problems.</p>
<p>Not only does is soften and smooth your skin, coconut oil has antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radical damage. Coconut oil makes excellent massage oil too.</p>
<p>6. Coconut oil has healthy benefits that most other oils do not.</p>
<p>Evidence is mounting that coconut oil has anti-fungal, anti-bacterial and anti-viral effects when both consumed and used topically on the skin.</p>
<p>Most oils oxidize and turn rancid very quickly causing free radical damage in our bodies. Coconut oil is not easily oxidized and does not cause harmful free radical damage like polyunsaturated vegetable oils. Free radical damage is thought to be responsible for many ailments in our body from arthritis to increased susceptibility to cancers.</p>
<p>Coconut oil also helps our bodies absorb other nutrients more effectively, such as Vitamin E.</p>
<p>7. Coconut oil is one of the best oils you can use for cooking.</p>
<p>It has a higher smoke point than olive oil, which means it can take higher temperatures better. There are several healthy omega 3 oils we can choose to consume, such as flax and olive oil, but they don&#8217;t do well under the high heat we use for cooking. Coconut oil can be used in higher cooking temperatures.</p>
<p>It is harder for coconut oil to go rancid, unlike other cooking oils, which are usually rancid long before you even bring them home. Rancid oils cause free radical damage in the body, which is a leading cause of cancer. Coconut oil is stable for over a year at room temperature.</p>
<p>Because of the misinformation we have been given for years, we have lost out on the healthy benefits that coconut oil has given the people of the tropics for centuries. But now it has been rediscovered! Coconut oil is so effective, it won&#8217;t be long before we see coconut oil supplements promoted, but you can get the jump on the popular crowd and start consuming and cooking with coconut oil today!</p>
