Health

While we are running around trying to figure out who we are and where we belong, one of the most important things that we can do for ourselves is to take care of ourselves, and our health.  It is not easy to take a moment, to be silent, to cook a healthy meal, to exercise and to get enough sleep, but these things are vital for our success and moving forward with a clear mind.  Remember, what ever the extra time it takes to do these things, it is not using the time in a negative manner, but in a positive one.  The results of a healthy body (and mind) will prove to create more energy and willingness to get through these times.
1.  Exercise. It is a proven fact that exercise creates more energy and a healthy body.  Your serotonin increases and the lack of energy you had before the exercise will cease to exist!  Not only will exercise improve your energy, it will help you to have a more positive outlook on things, increase your oxygen in your blood, help to keep you trimmed or to loose weight, and gain in self esteem.  There is nothing lost from spending 20 minutes a day with exercise!

2.  Diet.  You are what you eat and that is a fact!  If you eat fast foods, that really do not have any nutrition inside, your body will always be hungry and not satisfied.  Your body will tell you to eat more, in the attempt to find what it needs to work all those cells, help your brain to function, and keep your balance.  If you eat the right things, you will have more energy, a clearer mind, and as much of a healthy body as you can.  The problem is that with fast food, we can eat quickly, and less expensive (or so we think!) Yet, there are many ways to eat healthy and prepare quickly!  You also may not need to spend more.  You will eat less because your body will be happy.  There is nothing lost from changing habits to eat more healty!

3.  Sleep.  It is said that we need at least 8 hours of sleep a night.  This gives time for our body to rejuvenate itself in all forms.  Our brains need to relax, our muscles need to relax, our hearts need to relax.  If someone were to not sleep, they would literally go crazy and loose their minds.  There are ways to "sleep" without the need for pills and other aids.  The mind remains more clear with the right amount of sleep, our body stays stronger and our hearts are stronger.  There is nothing lost from making the time to get enough sleep!
On this blog, I will be writing on these things and how to's as time goes on.  I have also posted a RSS feed and a follow by email link on the front page, so you can be updated with new posts!

The Story about GM Seeds
June 9, 2011Genetically Modified (GM) seeds have been introduced into the world from the early 1990’s.  The seeds are mainly soybean, corn, canola, and cotton. The seed was developed to increase food production, lower production costs and lower the amount of pests that destroy the crops. The process is the insertion, deletion or transfer of genes. They add a genetic material into an organism. GMO’s are used in biological and medical research, the production of pharmaceutical drugs, gene therapy and agriculture....
Our Food System and GM Seed Studies 
June 10, 2011 "We now know that when you insert a gene - when you randomly throw this thing in there, they don't know ahead of time where it's going to land," says Clark. The researchers don't know how many copies will be inserted, or what other genes it will affect, or will affect it. We now know that the position of a gene is critical to how it functions, and side effects of this are unpredictable and could be drastic”, Clark, a doctor in BioTechnology, reports this lesson is in one of the first courses in BioTech....

November 2009, Rome, Italy - The Alarm of the Virus in Europe is that the H5N1strain that can be transmitted from birds to human from feces droppings into the sand then transferring into the air.
