Benefits of Raw Honey

Thursday, February 11th, 2010

Honey is one of the worlds most renowned substances. It is mentioned in numerous religious texts, including the Holy Quran, as a healing substance and really is an under appreciated natural liquid. I want to comment about a couple of things in this piece - things a bit beyond what a median person would consider questioning. One question : Ishoney any different, and any better, than sugar? Second : Are there differing kinds of this golden substance, some being healthier than others?health

Honey is made up of fructrose and sucrose, at approximately 75%, and then numerous other sugars. The remainder of it is other sugars, some protein, and minerals. Average superstore variety is filtered, and many of the beneficial substances have been removed. What’s reduces down to is that both of my questions will lead to the same answer. Some honey, namely the raw variety, trumps others. This is where the health claims of honey are being made. Raw honey , therefore , is the type that we need to look at when we ask if this natural sweetener is dissimilar than sugar.

Are we talking about yet another sweetener, maybe even like corn syrup? Absolutely not. It is known to have anti-allergic, anti inflammatory, and expectorant properties. It has been used to treat diverse stomach ailments, ulcers, and has been used as an anti-bacterial agent to treat the injuries of soldiers.

In 1989, the book of the Royal Society of medication contained an editorial which stated that “The therapeutic potential of uncontaminated, purehoney is far underutilized.” The varsity of Waikato’s Peter Molan writes, that the efficacy of honey as a healing agent has been unquestionably demonstrated in the literature reviewed in Part one of this article broadcast in 1999, but the biochemical rationalization of these effects is more hypothetical.

Herbalife Scam - Does a Herbalife Scam Really Exist?

Saturday, January 23rd, 2010

Beware the Herbalife Scam! That is a phrase that many an aspiring entrepreneur will hear from a well meaning but ignorant relative or friend when starting up a home based business for the first time. The Herbalife scam is not a new phenomenon! The fact is that a ’scam’ of any kind has been around longer than Herbalife has even been around!

How can that be?

Well it is like this… Scams only exist in the minds of those who have not researched, investigated, probed and done due diligence or their homework on the subject that that they are interested in. It is true that there ARE scams that exist, but they are only scams AFTER you have been caught by them. Do you get what I mean? “It sounds too good to be true, then it probably is,” is not a scientific analysis and so your opinion should not be based on this conclusion. As Tim Sales once remarked… “If it is too good to be true then is that any reason to stop looking?”

The answer is ‘of course not!’

The phrase the Herbalife Scam is not just reserved for Herbalife… it is used to describe ANY product or service that you may be interested in where a relative or friend or salesman has a vested reason to provide you with that opinion.

You see, anything is a scam if I were to just come out and tell you that it is. And it does not take a rocket scientist to tell you those words either… “it’s a scam!” Any person can say that but it takes a real insider, a real go-to man, too know the real truth about whether something is a scam or not. In fact, scams have been around since man first decided he would trade his 1 camel for his neighbours 3 goats and the man who got the camel felt that he lost out in the exchange. Again… if you do your homework before joining or buying anything, whether it is a new home, a new car, a digital product or a calculator, you will not have that feeling that you have been taken and so you will not have been scammed. Sure, the Herbalife Scam DOES exist! It exists in the minds of those who believed that they could get something for nothing. It exists in the minds of those who would rather spend time complaining about where they are in life then actually doing something about it.

Spend 5 minutes complaining and you just wasted 5 minutes!

If a Herbalife Scam really existed then how come Herbalife has 29 years of business success, is in 70 countries, has 100 million documented testimonials, Nobel Prize winning scientists, more millionaires than any other company or organisation on earth, is the official sponsor of David Beckham and the L.A Galaxy, is Listed on The New York Stock Exchange, has nearly DOUBLED its turnover from US$2Billion in 2004 to US$3.8 in 2008 and is the “Number 1 Weight Loss Company In The World”?? I could go on and on but the point is that for anyone interested in ANY home based business opportunity then they must do their due diligence and homework before joining ANY company and ANY team. In the end there is no Herbalife Scam, only those who did not do their research and no matter what work from home business that you do join, your success will ALWAYS come down to 3 fundamental principles that will never change.

1). Marketing :- Without an effective marketing strategy and system in place you will not have a business.

2). Mindset :- To be truly successful at ANY business you MUST put yourself MENTALLY in the top 1% of the earners. You must think, talk, look and act like a leader.

3). Hard Work :- I never knew ANYBODY who got to be successful and didn’t have to work hard for it.

Differences between Vegetarian and Raw Food Diets

Friday, January 15th, 2010

There are a few distinct differences between vegetarian and raw food diets. Basically, a vegetarian is someone who is committed to not eat meat, fish, poultry or any animal products, but only consumes vegetables, pasta, and rice. On the other hand, a raw foodist is a vegetarian, but one who eats unprocessed, uncooked, organic, whole foods, like fruits, vegetables, nuts seeds, legumes, dried fruits, seaweeds, etc. It denotes a diet that is at least 75% uncooked! Raw foodist cooks very little and definitely doesn’t cook or process fruits and vegetables. Raw foodist simply eats them raw.health1

Raw foodist, vegans and frutarians are some of the different categories of vegetarians. Yes, raw foodist is a category of vegetarianism as mentioned earlier. However, to be a raw food purist, you should eat raw vegetables like raw broccoli, not steamed. To a vegetarian, who doesn’t eat meat or fish or any animal products, steamed vegetables are just as good, though every person would concur that steaming can take out nutrients from foods and turn them into less nutritious. A vegetarian might consume dairy or egg products but a vegan will not consume any animal products at all. The raw foodist then is a vegan who consumes only uncooked, unprocessed raw foods.

Below are some health benefits cited by the raw diet followers:

• Improved digestion
• Increased energy levels
• Reduced risk of heart diseased
• Improved appearance of skin
• Weight loss

Look and Feel Younger

Friday, December 18th, 2009

Today no one wants to get old. Everyone wants to remain young. You can see more and more people spending vast amounts of money on creams, surgery, foods and food supplements to make them look and feel younger. But all these products and services do not really change the way the ageing process marches on. They certainly wont make you any younger, just maybe, feel a little younger for a while.health2

Even your cellular reproductive systems are slowly slowing down and thus, inside, your organs are getting older. Whether you like it or not your body is getting older. Genes and with pills research is currently being done by a lot of scientists. Experts are researching into lifestyles, and looking at belief systems and a whole lot of other things. The elusive fountain of youth’ is what they are busy searching for. Behind the ageing process But what is really? When you start to feel old, negative, depressed and tired, you start to slow down; that is when you do not have enough energy anymore. You are running out of time and energy. You age as your body becomes weaker and weaker because you are more and more blocked.

Live fast, die young, was a popular message from before. Don’t worry, be happy’ is the new thing. Live slow, die old’ will be the next thing?

You need to understand that you need to improve your energy and your timing if you really want to be young and if you really want to stay young. When you start to train to get more energy in your life, you enter a different time paradigm. Time starts to expand and your ageing process starts to slow down - it starts to freeze.
