7 Energy-Boosting Styrategies
Dr. Mao's Secrets of Longevity
By Dr. Maoshing Ni
Our calendars have a way of quickly becoming overwhelming at this festive time of year. Coping with a demanding schedule and the ensuing stress requires a lot of energy. If you are dragging yourself through your work, family, and other daily commitments each day longing for the moment you can crash in an exhausted heap onto your bed, then take these tips to keep your energy level up!1. Feel berry energeticBerries are rich in antioxidants and can also help remove toxic residue from the system, which is often the cause of chronic fatigue and low energy. Berries include blueberries, blackberries, raspberry, cranberry, goji berry, hawthorn berries and cherries. 2. Make the most of magnesiumEvery time your body produces energy, your cells' mitochondria, which are tiny "power generators", need magnesium. Many people don't get enough of this essential mineral, because two common dietary habits leach magnesium from our bodies: too much salt and too much dairy. Whole grains are full of magnesium. So are seeds such as pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds. And don't forget about nuts-especially almonds, Brazil nuts, and cashews. If you prefer capsule form, try taking 500 mg magnesium daily. Combine the best of berries and nuts by making your own trail mix of dried cranberry, plum, and raisin with any combination of nuts and seeds. It's an ideal between-meals snack packed with antioxidants, essential fatty acids, and fibers that help sustain energy over a long period of time.3. Food that fights fatiguePoor diet is a big contributor to low energy. For steady, robust energy eat foods that are low on the glycemic index, a measurement of how quickly the food you eat converts to glucose, the substance your body needs for energy. Foods with a high glycemic index (HGI), such as bread, pasta, baked potatoes, and most refined grains, give you a quick rush, but fatigue soon sets in when your blood sugar crashes. Foods that are low on the glycemic index help sustain energy over time. That include barley, bulgur, quinoa, amaranth, most nuts and seeds, beans and legumes, chicken, fish, and meat. Avoid an energy crash by eliminating sugar from your diet, including sodas, sweetened juices, and pastries. Also cut back on rich foods like dairy, meat, fats, sweets, and alcohol. As for when to eat, never skip breakfast or lunch and be sure to eat your last meal no later than 7 p.m. most of the time.4. Get green energyChlorella, spirulina, kelp, wheat grass, barley grass all contain chlorophyll and are high quality protein supplements that enhance long-term energy. Mix a powder of any of the above into water, juice, or green tea for an energetic boost.5. Ginseng: a potent pick-me-upGinseng is considered the king of energy tonics and has been used in Chinese medicine for 5,000 years. Unlike coffee, which stimulates the central nervous system, ginseng elevates energy gently. It has been classified as an adaptogen, meaning that it helps the immune system to withstand stress from the environment, and many people that take ginseng report an overall sense of well-being. It is available in the form of capsules and tea in health food stores, at offices of Chinese medicine practitioners, and online. Another herbal energy enhancer is our Combined Five Elements of Health Formula. This powerful herbal combination gives your whole body a tune-up, promoting physical vitality, high tolerance for stress, and strong immunity, among many other benefits. Click here for more information.6. Increase your energy with exerciseExercise every day can help you increase your energy level, cope with stress, and improve your mood. A daily 30-minute cardiovascular exercise combined with stretching and flexibility training is a sure way to get abundant energy. If you are intimidated by jumping right into exercise, begin with a daily walking routine. Start small and slowly increase the amount of time you walk. Walk 10 minutes a day for one week. Walk 15 minutes a day on week two, and so on until by week five, you are walking 30 minutes a day. In the meantime, a walk around the block builds your energy level as it clears your mind! 7. Press here for energyIn Chinese medicine, there is an acupuncture point called Foot Three Mile that can be stimulated to help strengthen the bodyʼs resistance to stress, enhance immunity, and strengthen the vital organs. You can stimulate the same acupuncture point on yourself with a technique called "acupressure." Instead of a needle stimulating the point, you can use your own fingers. The point is located four finger-widths below the kneecap on the right leg. Apply moderate pressure with your thumb until you feel soreness. Hold for 3-5 minutes. Repeat on the left leg. I hope that this article helps you boost your energy level! I invite you to visit often and share your own personal health and longevity tips with me. May you live long, live strong, and live happy!--Dr. Mao

A great article from Ricky Dale Crain!
Character Building in Being Persistent
I need to take a moment to encourage lifters and athletes to never give up. Steadfastness and desire can only be shown by that adage. Nothing can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. I have had a gym full of talented and naturally strong men and women who got bored and gave up.
Relentlessness in pursuit of a goal is its own reward. The world is full of educated derelicts; it is full of genius' who are lazy and full of naturally talented bums. Only persistence and determination are omnipotent. Persistence is the iron quality of character. Persistence is to the character of man as carbon is to steel. It is the absolutely indispensable quality that goes hand in hand with all great success in life. Very few athletes in today's world, though perhaps bigger, faster and stronger than those of yesteryear, have this quality. One of the great secrets of persistence and success is to program your subconscious mind for persistence well in advance of the setbacks and disappointments that you are going to have on your upward quest toward success. Resolve in advance that you will never give up, no matter what happens. Quitting never enters the picture or thought process. When you are overwhelmed with a problem or difficulty, you do not have enough time to develop the necessary persistence to deal with the setback or disappointment. But if you plan in advance for the inevitable ups and downs of life, when they come, you will be psychologically ready. You will be prepared. The courage to persist in the face of adversity and disappointment is the one quality that, more than anything, will guarantee your success. Your greatest personal asset can be your willingness to persevere longer than anyone else. In fact, your persistence is a true measure of your belief in yourself and your ability to succeed. Remember, all of life is a test. For you to have great success, you must pass the "persistence test." And this test is often a pop quiz. It can come at any time, usually totally unexpectedly and out of left field. As was mentioned in previous chapters, you should be prepared in all aspects of training and in a contest to control what you can, as some circumstances are beyond control. Be prepared to roll with the punches. You take the persistence test whenever you are confronted with an unexpected difficulty, disappointment, setback, failure, or crisis in life. This is where you show yourself, and everyone around you, what you are truly made of. In the summer of 2006, I had a Total Hip Replacement. The previous years before that had seen me as a world class athlete deteriorate to something that was beyond my control. Mentally and physically I was in a downward spiral. After the operation I was determined to once again get myself into shape, both in strength and muscle endurance that, for my age and weight was among the best in the world. Even though I had encouragement from all sides, I really felt that no one really thought a 55 year old, 165 lb, total hip replacement patient could come back and squat close to 600 again. After all as my doctor pointed out, no one had ever done it. If I am nothing else, I am persistent, and in being on February 18, 2008, my 55th birthday, I did 555 lbs (having already done 530 a few months ago). I foresee 600 to come around sometime next year. Now at that point, I will know what I can accomplish, but be smart enough to know not to push it any further, for safety sakes.
The one inevitability in your life is recurring crisis. If you are living a busy life, you will have a crisis ever so often. In between these unavoidable crises will be a continuous succession of problems and difficulties. The more goals that you attempt to reach, the bigger your dreams, and the more determined you are to become successful, the more problems and crises you will experience. The only factor you can control is how you respond to difficulties and setbacks. The good news is that every time you respond in a positive and constructive manner, you become stronger and better and even more capable of dealing with the next problem or crisis that comes along. Eventually, you will reach a point in life where you become absolutely unstoppable. Isn't life grand? As James 1:2 says, "Count it all Joy……when trials come". You will become like a force of nature. You will become the kind of person who never quits, no matter what the difficulty. No matter what obstacle is put in your path, you will find a way to go over it, under it, around it, or through it. You will be like the Energizer Bunny in the television commercials. You will keep going and going and going. So what is the most difficult situation you are facing in your life today? Whatever it is, imagine that it has been sent to you at this time to teach you a valuable lesson you need to learn to be even more successful in the future. What could that lesson be? From this moment onward, always seek the valuable lesson in every setback or difficulty. You will always find it, and it will help you in your quest to live the life you truly desire. One of the very best ways to improve your level of persistence is to know where you're going and why.

Lifting Weights Beats Jogging
Research has shown that when volunteers performed circuit training for just 20 minutes, 3 days a week, they improved their fitness levelsby up to 11%. That's about the same cardiovascular boost a similar group got wheb they jogged thirty minutes, 3 days a week.
More recently, researchers found that when previously sedentary adultseither circuit trained or did endurance exercisessuch as cycling or cross country skiing for 40 minutes, 3 days a week, both groups have similar aerobic benefits, with the circuit trainers reaping the added benefit of increased muscle strength.
Another advantage of circuit training is that it's fun because you are constantly moving to a new exercise, which keeps it interesting.
The article above came from Total Body Firm-Up from the editors of Prevention.
Call me to find out about my consulting program for the long distance client. I answer my own phone!

Agreat article about Soy!!
What is soy? What are soybeans? Well. Soybeans are legumes grown under the ground. They are not readily digested unless fermented or sprouted and the vast majority of soybeans harvested are genetically modified.
One of my biggest problems with soybeans is that they are so heavily processed. Soy milk, tofu, soy protein, soy lecithin, soybean oil… all products which are processed to an unhealthy level… so much so, that is more like a waste product. In fact that is what soy milk and tofu are… waste products. They do not promote health in the body and they are not extraordinary foods.
Another problem that I have with soy is that it stimulates estrogen production in both men and women which can lead to breast cancer or fibroid tumors in women, infertility in men, and decreased sex drive in both men and women.
Soybeans are high in phytates (like many grains are as well, such as wheat, spelt, and oats), which can inhibit the absorption minerals…. therefore they should be fermented or sprouted to remove the phytates. Also, due to the great percentage of genetically modified soybeans, one should look for organic soybeans which are not genetically modified and free of pesticides.
Soy is in so many products these days that it is difficult to avoid. If you are going to eat it, as I said it is best fermented or sprouted… so miso, tempeh, natto… or like in Food For Life’s sprouted cereal which contains organic sprouted soybeans. Or if you want to eat whole soybeans (edamame) then soak them and sprout them before eating.
Soybean oil also goes rancid easily. It oxidizes and promotes free radicals and you must then have anti-oxidants to reduce the oxidative stress on your body.
As far as soy protein goes. It really is not that high quality of a source. It is heavily processed unless taken in whole food form and there are much better sources. For example, goats milk protein… one of the best sources of protein for the body.
Soy lecithin is found in all sorts of products… products like chocolate. I am a big fan of chocolate so I of course had to research soy lecithin. Soy lecithin is an emulsifier… that means it stabilizes an emulsion… or a mixture of suspended ingredients. So for example, in mayonnaise to mix the oil you must use eggs to create the emulsion that is mayonnaise. Guess where the main source of lecithin was before soy lecithin? Eggs. Yep. So it would be nice to have the lecithin from eggs for my chocolate… and occasionally you can find it, but most of the time it is soy lecithin. My advice here would be to consume in small amounts and look for products that do not have soy lecithin as the emulsifier (when possible).
Having said the above, there is more, much more. Do not take my word from it. Do research on both sides. Read all of the terrible things said about soy and then read the glowing things. I have come to the conclusion that I will avoid it for the most part. I do not like it or the way it makes me feel in the long term. There are times when I have organic sprouted soy and if I used soy sauce or soy condiments I would use naturally fermented.

SUGAR (SUCROSE) ASPARTAME AND SACCHARIN
Many medical experts agree that sugar feeds cancer. The vast majority of the population consume large quantities of refined sugar, sucrose, or its partners, aspartame and saccharin, which have now been clinically linked to accelerated aging, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and over 100 other serious health problems. These links are being deliberately ignored or downplayed by the hugely influential and profitable sugar and sweetener industry.
In the US, there are now five Aspartame detox centres. Symptoms reported to America's Food and Drug Administration include headaches, skin problems, stomach disorders, poor vision, depression, carbohydrate cravings, panic attacks, irregular heart rhythms and seizures. Geoff Brewer, Additives Survivors Network, www.dorway.com
“In 1991, the National Institutes of Health listed 167 symptoms and reasons to avoid the use of aspartame, but today it is a multi-million dollar business that contributes to the degeneration of the human population, as well as the deliberate suppression of overall intelligence, short-term memory and the added contribution as a carcinogenic environmental co-factor.” Dr Joseph Mercola www.mercola.com
"Soda is dispensed in American schools today like coffee in corporate offices. Over the past three years, the Center for Commercial-Free Public Education estimates that 240 school districts in 31 states have sold exclusive rights to one of the three big soda barons eager to hook teen-agers on Dr Pepper, Pepsi, or The Real Thing. Many teens are drowning in worthless sugar water.” Michael Jacobson, US Executive Director of the Center for Science in the Public Interest.
Aspartame is, by far, the most dangerous substance on the market that is added to foods. Aspartame accounts for over 75 percent of the adverse reactions to food additives reported to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Many of these reactions are very serious including seizures and death as recently disclosed in a February 1994 Department of Health and Human Services report. Department of Health and Human Services, Report on All Adverse Reactions in the Adverse Reaction Monitoring System, (February 25 and 28, 1994). A few of the 90 different documented symptoms listed in the report as being caused by aspartame include: Headaches/migraines, dizziness, seizures, nausea, numbness, muscle spasms, weight gain, rashes, depression, fatigue, irritability, tachycardia, insomnia, vision problems, hearing loss, heart palpitations, breathing difficulties, anxiety attacks, slurred speech, loss of taste, tinnitus, vertigo, memory loss, and joint pain.
According to researchers and physicians studying the adverse effects of aspartame, the following chronic illnesses can be triggered or worsened by ingesting of aspartame: Brain tumors, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, chronic fatigue syndrome, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's, mental retardation, lymphoma, birth defects, fibromyalgia, and diabetes.” Betty Martini, Mission Possible, Atlanta, Georgia - a group dedicated to warning consumers about the dangers of aspartame. www.dorway.com/possible.html This list compiled by researchers, physicians, and artificial sweetner experts for Mission Possible. Aspartame consumption is not only a problem in the US. It is being sold in over 70 countries throughout the world.
ASPARTAME CAN BE FOUND IN:- instant breakfasts- breath mints- cereals- sugar-free chewing gum- cocoa mixes- coffee beverages- frozen desserts- gelatin desserts- juice beverages- laxatives- multivitamins- milk drinks- pharmaceuticals and supplements- shake mixes- soft drinks- tabletop sweeteners- tea beverages- instant teas and coffees- topping mixes- wine coolers- yogurt
