Is fast food on the menu? Learn about digestive enzymes.

     Still eating fast food? A lot of food today is:
·         Processed
·         Taste good but is not
·         Lasts longer (preservatives)
·         Looks fresh (food coloring and dyes)

The processing destroys the digestive enzymes in the foods. To predigest before it hits the stomach. In these days you have to buy basically all of your nutrients separately at a health food store or online. The use of digestive enzymes added to your diet breaks down your food so that your body receives all the nutrients from your food. Over time you'll be glad you added enzymes to your daily activities. You'll feel the off switch turn to on as you receive rejuvenation throughout your body as it starts the healing process. 

    In other words like giving your car a tune up. This is the ingredient taken from a lot of foods through processing. Give your body a tune up, it deserves it. 




    When your meal doesn't get fully broken down it stays in your body creating problems due to plaque build up such as,


  • Stiffness
  • Constipation
  • Upset stomach
  • Belching
  • Gas
  • Etc... But over time. 


   Junk food has no health benefits, may taste good but works against your well being. Fast food makes for a fast life. I’ll let this video do the explaining.

Health Benefits of Yoga and Meditation




Both yoga and meditation have been around for thousands of years. To understand their connection, it helps to understand what each one is individually.

Yoga is a spiritual Hindu practice that incorporates breath, a simple form of meditation and physical incorporation of the body to bring the mind and body together, creating harmony. First introduced to the west in the early 1900's, by mid century, yoga has grown exponentially in popularity and has continued to grow over the last few decades.

Meditation is best described as a training of the mind to reach different levels of consciousness and awareness. These levels of consciousness can include access to parts of the brain that control imagination, creativity, memory and more. Through meditation, these characteristics can be explored and possibly enhanced through practice.


The health benefits of yoga and meditation seem to go hand in hand, but let's break the two down, anyway.
Health benefits of meditation

  • Blood pressure- Studies have shown the ability of meditation to lower blood pressure and in some cases, reverse the effects of heart disease.

  • Pain management- Meditation has been used to treat chronic and substance abuse withdrawal pains effectively. The results have been impressive; patients report feeling less discomfort when meditation has been introduced.

  • Stress and anxiety- If anyone has ever gotten overwhelmed with stress, took a moment, stopped and took a deep breath to recollect has witnessed the ability of meditation to reduce stress. Meditations number one benefit is the ability to relax, fighting off stress and anxiety.

  • Sleep- Meditation continues to be explored and implemented for its effectiveness for insomnia. Many times insomnia is caused by our inability to slow the mind down, whereas meditations greatest gift is the ability to do so.
Health benefits of yoga
Not only can yoga help with high blood pressure, pain management, stress, anxiety and sleep, but can also benefit the body more directly:
  • Core strength- Yoga can develop and nurture a strong core strength through its poses and stamina required to maintain those poses.

  • Posture- The simple act of lifting your chin when walking can have profound effects on posture. The poses present in yoga are embedded with improvements for posture, while developing the core strength can help maintain good posture out of the classroom.

  • Balance- The very nature of yoga and its form of exercise helps develop and maintain physical balance, but also fosters an emotional balance for the mind.
The benefits of meditation almost seem inherent to that of yoga, considering meditation is an integral part of the yoga practice. Some benefits are exclusive to yoga because of the physical qualities involved, but both are highly effective in bettering our health.

Yoga is an excellent way to stay healthy and fit. It is not only good for your physical health but for emotional, mental and spiritual health as well. Learning yoga is indeed a step by step process. It is always better to start with some easy asanas or postures so that you get motivation to continue. The simplest yoga asanas are similar to the day to day activities like lying down, standing or sitting in different positions but in an orderly fashion which proves to be beneficial for health. Here you can get info about yoga for beginners. 


Even doctors and medical practitioners recommend practicing yoga regularly because of its great therapeutic benefits. If you are a beginner, then you will be pleased to see great results instantly. Some of the most recommended yoga for beginners includes viniyoga or kripalu yoga. One you have a strong command on these simple yoga asanas, you can move onto advanced yoga asanas like Ashtanga yoga or power yoga.
You can practice for around 10-15 minutes at an initial stage which will help in increasing the flexibility of the muscle joints, enhance lubrication and improve blood circulation in the body. This will prepare your body for more complex yoga asana. It is very important to have a correct and erect body posture while practicing yoga.
Breathing exercises are a significant aspect of yoga for beginners. Some of the most effective breathing exercises include Anuloma-viloma, pranayama and kapalbharti. These exercises help in improving the breathing pattern and increases lung capacity. These exercises will make you feel relaxed and rejuvenated.

A beginner should always start with simple and basic yoga stretches like finishing postures, back bends, balance postures, supine, twist, sitting or standing positions.

Learn Yoga at Home - Study Yoga Online, Learn at Your Own Speed, and Practice at Your Own Pace




Yoga has so many benefits. On a physical level, yoga online is excellent for your health in general, and will increase your fitness, help you lose weight, increase your flexibility, and can even massage and stimulate the internal organs of your body to help keep away disease. Yoga is also wonderful for detoxing the body, toning your muscles and removing stress and worry from your life. It is the ultimate fitness activity.

But walking into a yoga class for the first time and knowing absolutely nothing can be a very daunting experience.

I know how that feels. When I started yoga a few years ago, I had no idea what I was in for. I had some vague memories of attending one yoga class when I was in high school, but that was it. Would I be fit enough? Would I be able to do all those poses? Would everyone be looking at me?

What I wanted was to learn yoga at home, and then, as soon as I felt comfortable and confident with the basics attend a class. And so I did. Learning yoga at home is possible through a wide variety of DVDs, books or, as I did, through the internet. I subscribed to an online course that gave me video tutorials, diagrams, as well as ebooks to absorb and learn the lingo.

Learning yoga at home using an online e-course gives you the chance to learn at your own pace and to practice at your own speed (no stress keeping up with everyone else in the class.) An e-course will give you the techniques and the understanding to maintain your own yoga practice. You can practice whenever you have the time, when it suits you. And learning yoga at home will save you hundreds of dollars too in the long run.

Start learning yoga at home today and begin a journey that will transform your life.
The Yoga Training Center offers a 3 week yoga e-course which is ideal for beginners as well as those who have already begun to explore yoga. The course is divided into 21 lessons and is designed to be completed in just 3 short weeks. In that time you will have learned enough about yoga to know which styles you wish to pursue AND be confident about walking into a real-life yoga class and look good!

What’s wrong with what we put in our bodies?


     First of all, let me start with the foods we purchase. We tend to go to the best values so you can save money. Clip those coupons, buy one get one free. You got the fridge packed.  The voice comes in your head, you know, the alter ego that says “Go get some;
·         beer,
·         cigarettes
·         candy
·         etc…
You get your fix and you feel good. If you relate a “fix” to drugs, you are right. It’s bad for you illegal and legal. Some seem harmless such as;
·         The preservatives and certain ingredients added to our food.
·         The additives to the drinking water from the faucet.
·         The sugar in the sweets we eat. (Sorry, um hooked on chocolate.)
·         Etc…
A lot of stuff we put in our bodies throughout the day with no nutrition.
Some ingredients added to our food and beverages are nothing but drugs if they were in their raw form. Look at the  ingredients, some you can’t even pronounce.
Ex; Zethozanthanoid phosphate, Rhibitosis diglutimate, etc…
(Don’t try to look these so called ingredients up because they’re made up and just examples of the word play on some ingredients.)
If some of these substances used their common name on the list of ingredients, then you probably wouldn’t buy it.
