Breathing. Yogis believe that practicing this breathing may include calmer states of mind, enhanced sleep,
help with depression, focus and great well being. It balances left and right hemisphere of the brain. This
Breathing may reduce hunger and help with appetite control. (Breaths

Antioxidant Salad.

antioxidant fertility drink
Special (quick)
antioxidant drink:
Over 15 clinical studies show that drinking 8 ounces
of cranberry juice cocktail per day significantly
reduce or prevent urinary tract infections.
Studies also show that freeze-dried cranberry juice in capsule
form can be equally effective as a glass of juice, provided the capsules are taken with water. Other studies have
found that cranberries are high in antioxidants and flavonoids and can help prevent kidney stones, stomach ulcers,
gum disease, arteriosclerosis and cancer. Cranberries
are also full of vitamin C. Because of the red color of cranberries,
according to Chinese Medicine the Heart will reap the benefits as well.
My secret recipe: Cranberries (5-10, Per Cup) Green Tea (1 Tea Bag per 3-4 cups steep 5 min) Orange or Tangerine
Peel (1 medium) (Ginger 1 thin slices
/Winter Time) or (Mint/Summer Time)
*** All amounts are per cup***
Put all ingredients (except Green tea bag or Mint) in the water and bring it
to a boil. * Add Green Tea (Mint or any other natural tea) at the end for 5 min.
Chill, strain, serve...
Green Tea to Loose Weight
GREEN TEA is
Chinese Medicine's time tested drink. It enters Chinese Live Meridian or Channel, so it benefits the Liver. Studies
have shown that this beverage can benefit Stomach and the Lungs. It was found in many studies that green tea helped stomach
and cancer patients live longer. Green tea has vitamin E and C and is full of chlorophyll. *** Try getting organic tea bags or loose tea. Do not steam for more than 3-5 minutes as it becomes bitter.
Green Tea can also
help reduce weight.
Green Teadrunk
3-6 cups a day can not only reduce the stress and toxins, but is also shown to reduce weight and detox the body. ( If
you're caffeine sensitive stop drinking after 3-4pm in order to get a sound sleep). Japanese Green Tea "Sencha"in my opinion is the best. If you
like our office can orderorganic Loose
Green Teafor you.
Weight Loss with KettleBells
kettlebells to loose weight
EXERCIESES:
You will need to burn your calories of
course. The Yogic breathing described above gives you exercises for your internal organs and will help optimize your
metabolism. Walking 30-60 min a day is good.
KETTLEBELLS - Ultimate Workout
One of the best ways to get in shape,
tone your body and loose weight at the same time is KETTLEBELLS. I am personally completely sold on it. I used to have
them as a kid back in Russia and now bought them again. This new phenomena is sweeping USA for a good reason. They provide
aerobic and weight training at the same time. Some of the movements like Swings between legs, not only tone your leg and buttocks,
stretch muscles, tendons and ligaments but they also do Foot massages (reflexology). 3-6 minutes of those babies a day
or even every other day gets you in great shape. Kettle Bells offer in house or office Gym any time. No hassle and,
no exuses. Generally speaking for Men starting weight is 35lb, for women 10-18lb. You may go lower or higher depending
on your level of fitness. Strongly recommended to check with your MD before starting this type of conditioning. Click the
"Kettle Bells USA banner" to check out prices and weights below.You may want to order a DVD on Kettle
Bells to develop proper techniques and avoid injuries.
SIT UPs
Another great way to loose inches off your waist is to do sit ups or
any abdominal strengthening exercises. Stronger abdominal muscles flattent the stomach and make it smaller.
Smaller stomach, means less food will fit in !
Self help and wellness does require planning and
some time allocation. The
benefits however will be enjoyed long term and will enhance your personal, mental and spiritual bell being. How much
does good health cost? What is the price of well being? "PRICELESS". So find 10-15 min a day
to celebrate YOU.
