1. Live in Gratitude!
Most Americans vow to appreciate loved ones and spend more time with family and friends this year. Make an effort live in gratitude and be thankful for all that you have.
2. Exercise more!
The evidence is in for fitness. Regular exercise has been associated with more health benefits than anything else known to man. Studies show that it reduces the risk of some cancers, increases longevity, helps achieve and maintain weight loss, enhances mood, lowers blood pressure, and even improves arthritis. In short, exercise keeps you healthy and makes you look and feel better. Why not make this the time to start getting in shape?
3. Lose Weight!
Over 66 percent of adult Americans are considered overweight or obese, so it is not surprising to find that weight loss is one of the most popular New Year’s resolutions. Setting reasonable goals and staying focused are the two most important factors in sticking with a weight loss program, and the key to success for those millions of Americans who made a New Year’s commitment to shed extra pounds. Consider the MBS 10 & 21 day body detox diets for an amazing kick start to your new program!!!
4. Quit Smoking!
If you have resolved to make this the year that you stamp out your smoking habit, over-the-counter availability of nicotine replacement therapy now provides easier access to proven quit-smoking aids. Even if you’ve tried to quit before and failed, don’t let it get you down. On average, smokers try about four times before they quit for good. Start enjoying the rest of your smoke-free life!
5. Stop and smell the roses!
Given the hectic, stressful lifestyles of millions of Americans, it is no wonder that “enjoying life more” has become a popular resolution in recent years. It’s an important step to a happier and healthier you! Consider MBS for products designed to bring balance to your body, mind and soul. Or just get out and try something new! Take up a new hobby or try your hand at rock climbing.
6. Decrease Alcohol consumption!
While many people use the New Year as an incentive to finally stop drinking, most are not equipped to make such a drastic lifestyle change all at once. Many heavy drinkers fail to quit cold turkey but do much better when they taper gradually, or even learn to moderate their drinking.
7. Get Out of Debt!
Was money a big source of stress in your life last year? Join the millions of Americans who have resolved to spend this year getting a handle on their finances. It’s a promise that will repay itself many times over in the year ahead.
8. Knowledge is Power!
Have you vowed to make this year the year to learn something new? Perhaps you are considering a career change, want to learn a new language, or just how to fix your computer? Whether you take a course or read a book, you’ll find education to be one of the easiest, most motivating New Year’s resolutions to keep.
9. Bestow for the Benefit of Others!
A popular, non-selfish New Year’s resolution, volunteerism can take many forms. Whether you choose to spend time helping out in your community, mentoring a child, or building a house, there are many nonprofit volunteer organizations that could really use your help.
10. Get it together!
On just about every New Year resolution top ten list, organization can be a very reasonable goal. Whether you want your home organized enough that you can invite someone over on a whim, or your office organized enough that you can find the stapler when you need it, these tips and resources should get you started on the way to a more organized life.

The National Institute of Health (NIH), the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the National Health and Nutrition Survey (NHANES), leading medical journals, and the media all report that Americans are overweight in epidemic proportions. How did this happen?  Americans consume large portions of the wrong kinds of food, such as refined foods and snacks loaded with sugar, instead of balanced meals that include good quality proteins (fresh meat, poultry and seafood), fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.  These poor diet choices combined with a sedentary lifestyle cause weight gain, resulting in numerous health problems.

Many Americans address their weight issues by trying a quick fix weight management program.  Because these programs do not take into account the physiological needs of the body, these dieters do not experience permanent success.  In addition, many quick fix programs are not designed to be practiced for an extended time frame.  Dieters who go on these programs become frustrated because eventually all the weight that was lost comes back.

The ideal weight management program takes time.  It needs to be gentle, reduce excess fat stores, be high in fiber, increase muscle and insure that the amount of metabolic energy being used is greater than the amount of calories being consumed.  All of this needs to occur without losing muscle mass, which can be maintained by consuming vital nutrients.  Once the ideal weight is reached, maintaining it requires that the amount of energy expended is equal to the energy intake.  Obtaining a proper balance is key.

Our bodies are like cars with a main fuel tank and a reserve tank.  When one tank runs dry, the engine draws fuel from the reserve tank to meet its needs.  Our bodies run in a similar fashion.  Say for instance a person walks on a treadmill for 20-30 minutes.  During this time, they have burned off their main fuel-the sugar in their blood, liver and muscles.  Once that fuel is depleted, their body should turn to fat (the reserve fuel tank) for additional energy.

Healthy liver function supports the body in burning fat for energy.  The nutrients and dietary recommendations in the purification programs revolve around feeding the body the nutrients it needs to support optimal liver function.  In addition to its role in fat burning, the liver also synthesizes fatty acids from amino acids and sugars and assists in producing lipoproteins, cholesterol and phospholipids.  The liver makes a substance called glucose tolerance factor (GTF) from Chromium and Glutathione.  GTF partners with the body’s natural insulin to regulate and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.  The liver converts any sugars that are not required for immediate energy needs into glycogen and fat.  Glycogen is stored both in the liver and in the muscle tissue.  The fat is deposited in undesirable areas.

Apply the fundamentals

Incorporating proper eating choices and activity habits into your lifestyle are the only ways to maintain a healthy weight.

• Determine your desired weight
• Follow your recommended program
• Get plenty of exercise

By following these three simple steps, you will be able to properly manage your weight.  Once you reach your desired weight, you can incorporate some foods not listed in your program, back into your diet-sparingly.

Do not expect instantaneous success-you did not wake up morning instantly overweight, so it will take time to lose the unwanted pounds.  Follow the purification program recommended by your health care professional and you will achieve effective, gentle, and sustained weight management.

Nourishing the Body

The body is in a continual process of tearing down and building up, following its master plan. It needs to be supplied with the required nutrients, at the proper time, in order for these processes to be accomplished successfully, so that cells can be replicated without error, and replaced properly if damaged or worn out.

The body has certain daily requirements that need to be met in order to avoid problems, which develop slowly over a long period of time. In this era of great affluence, it is shocking to realize that many of our citizens are badly malnourished. This is due to the pressures of our hectic daily lives, the availability of cheap, nutrient-poor fast foods loaded with low-quality fats, and the fading of the culinary arts in the home, due to a perceived lack of time.

Nutrition enables the body to be supplied with substances necessary for growth, maintenance and replacement of cells, and the generation of energy. In the course of this, the digestive process transforms substances foreign to the body into the body’s own.

The edibility of food depends less on the food itself than on the body’s ability to digest, including the power to separate, combine and absorb, and the power to synthesize.

There is no one food that will provide perfect nutrition for everyone. Each person must determine what foods are compatible with their digestive systems by listening to the signals the body sends. The most important foods contain an abundance of enzymes and are eaten raw to maintain their viability.

The human organism is in reality a symbiotic organism, with over 400 varieties of bacterial flora residing in the gut. Two of these varieties are critical to digestion – lactobacillus Acidophilus and bifid bacterium Bifidus. It is necessary to maintain a thriving colony of these bacteria, by ingesting yogurt and supplements when necessary, in order to maintain proper absorption. Antibiotics kill both kinds of beneficial bacteria, leading to malabsorption, malnutrition and disease.

At first, meditation just seemed like a good way to calm my over-stimulated mind. I’ve been an insomniac since childhood, and hoped meditation would help me sleep. A non-negotiable 15 minutes was quickly added to my schedule, and I saw my concentration improve. I slept better, with fewer interruptions. There was a tiny gap in my experience, not terribly big yet, but there all the same. This gap eventually widened, and I began to see that as I struggled with my body through endless diets and militaristic workouts, maybe all wasn’t as it appeared on the outside.

It’s no secret that we live in a copiously multitasking world. Technically, though, the brain can’t multitask. Instead of performing two tasks at once, it chooses one thing to focus on, and moves the second thing to the back burner. This results in a pretty serious lack of focus.

What does this all have to do with weight loss, you ask? A lot, as it turns out.

Thanks a lot Wesley
