Because of factors like diet and stress, many people in the industrialized world have bodies that are too acidic and over-burdened with toxins, and so are afflicted with health problems that run the gamut from minor and major skin irritations to depression, chronic fatigue and back pain to arthritis, ulcers, osteoporosis and cancer.
Just consider the following facts:
0 Diseased bodies are unbalanced, having a high concentration of acidity in their tissues and the blood. And yet the absence of this balance is rarely noticed by our standard medical tests. So tests may show you are fine, but you feel otherwise.
0 The #1 cause of excess acidity is waste products left behind by incomplete digestion. We need hydrochloric acid to digest our food. The more difficult a food is to digest, the more acid is required to digest it.
0 In general difficult-to-digest means acid-forming, and easy-to-digest means alkaline.
0 Health is easier to achieve and maintain if one consumes four times as much alkaline food as acidic food. When such an ideal ratio is maintained, the body usually has a balanced body chemistry and strong resistance against disease.
SIMPLE SOLUTION: Find out what to eat (and what to avoid) to improve your health! The […]

I0ve been fasting today. I do it four times a month and am seldom bothered by hunger (I0ll explain why later). But today was different and in the afternoon at around 5.00 PM I had 0demon hunger0 and couldn0t concentrate on some computer work that I was doing. I really felt like eating something!
I contemplated taking some fruit, which is generally a good idea whenever you are in this kind of predicament. For example, suppose you are trying to lose weight by cutting down on high calorie snacks in-between meals, and all of a sudden you get the 0munchies0 well if you eat an apple or some other fruit it sometimes does the trick and your hunger is gone.
But instead of grabbing an apple, I resorted to a 0yogi trick,0 I drank two glasses of lemon water. I made it by squeezing lemon into the glass and adding a bit of salt and water. This lemon water drink is great for giving strength and it also works to allay the hunger. I drank and then went back to work (which includes typing this blog entry). So if you really want to stick to your fast, before you to for fruit, […]

Breathing techniques are so simple to do that I think sometimes their overlooked as a way of healing the body. Breathing techniques are based on the concept that breath is the source of life in the body. In fact breathing techniques are now being used by Western doctors for a variety of treatments, from everything from sports performance to reducing high blood pressure, and from headaches to emphysema.
So, how can breathing techniques help with healing?
If you breathe deeply and slowly, you take in oxygen which then helps to remove waste products from the body and ultimately help to increase energy. (For example up to 70% of the toxins that the body gets rid of everyday are released with the air that we breathe out.) If makes sense then that if we learned to breathe properly with the proper technique we could help the body to detoxify faster and allow it transfer more energy over to work on healing the body instead.
Many people who use breathing exercises stated that they had fewer colds, more energy and greater endurance. By breathing incorrectly you also lose a great deal of muscular energy because we tend to keep the ribs and shoulders raised abnormally […]
