Keep Your Health Tips

Perhaps the cheapest and most expedient way to lose weight is to walk it out. Most people can lose at least one pound a week by walking at a moderate pace for at least thirty to sixty minutes a week.

Not only is walking great for weight loss, but it also cuts your risk of stress related mood disorders, heart disease, colon cancer, stroke, breast cancer and diabetes!

Every individual is different when it comes to how long it will take for him or her to burn the fat off. To put it simply, a pound of fat equals 3500 calories. In order to lose that one pound a week you will need to burn off 3,500 more calories than the total calories that you consumed for that week.

Time does not matter as much as distance. However the faster you walk the more calories you will be burning per mile.

Walking your weight off is not the same as strolling. You can stroll weight off but it will take a lot longer then if you walk at the optimal fat burning pace.
This determined pace means that you are breathing a little hard but not so hard that you cannot carry on a conversation in full sentences.

It helps to pretend that you are walking fast, like you would if you were a bit late for an important appointment. When you are walking at this speed it means that you are exercising at sixty to seventy percent of your maximum heart rate, which burns calories efficient, helps create lean muscle and elevates the efficiency of the metabolism.

So how do you know how many calories you are expending?
A simple rule of thumb is 100 calories per mile for a 160-pound person.

However to treat walking your weight off seriously you will need two tools, a pedometer which can be acquired for about twenty dollars at a drug store and some way of counting the calories of the foods you eat every day. This can be as simple as an online site with lists of calorie values for different foods and a notebook.

Most pedometers automatically calculate the amount of calories that you have burned based on your weight, height and other values. Most of them measure the distance you have walked in both miles and calories burned. This allows you to easily see how many calories you have burned during a walking session.

By keeping track of the calories you consume during the day you can easily calculate how far you would need to walk to burn off the 3,500 calories that you would need to burn off in one week to lose just one pound. If you wanted to lose two pounds then you would increase your walking to burn off 7,000 calories a week.

Are you tired of having bad breath? Is it affecting your life, and making you self-conscious? Put your mind at ease, and get rid of your bad breath. In this article I will show you exactly how to do it.

In order for you to find out how to cure bad breath, you have to understand what causes it first. Bacteria dwells and eats on food remains that are left in your teeth. This creates a foul smell/odor that is known as bad breath. Here are 5 easy steps, and how to cure bad breath:

1) Brush your teeth - and I mean REALLY brush your teeth! Most people only brush their teeth for 0 - 60 seconds. You need to brush them for atleast 1.5-3 minutes to really get that bacteria out (along with all that old food.) Brush those teeth thoroughly!

2) Floss those teeth! - Very few people take the necessary time to floss their teeth. If you don’t, you’re only cleaning a part of your mouth. All those little gaps between your teeth are a haven for bacteria… Start flossing!

3) Your tongue is a criminal! - Most people don’t realize that their tongue is a big reason for causing bad breath. Many odor causing bacteria hide within your tongue, which you don’t remove while brushing or flossing. So the answer to this is to clean your tongue with a good tongue cleaner. Go to your local pharmacy, get a tongue cleaner, and start cleaning it!

4) Drink a lot of water - Drinking water keeps your mouth moist, which washes away a lot of the food particles that bacteria loves. Drink more, wash away more, and have less bacteria. A very simple tip, easily overlooked by many people!

5) Go to the dentist: A dentist can easily tell you what’s going on in your mouth. If you have the time, go get a dental checkup.

For some people it takes up to MONTHS to cure their bad breath. Can you imagine waiting months to cure your bad breath? There has to be another way.. and there is. Discover a way to cure your bad breath within days. Click Here To Find Out Now.

Article 7 of 7 Accidental discovery of Antibiotics as related to the natural elements

This final article covers general aspects of the system including the question; do we really need a major change in the health care system? Also, the importance of natural compounds and why they are not currently being widely researched. There are numerous other critical items listed that are not discussed here in detail here.

A medical information system, as outlined here in these articles will eventually happenit’s inevitable, you can’t continue to ignore advancing technology forever–it’s just a matter of time. The problem is, do we want to wait for another fifty or seventy five years for something that could so dramatically affect our lives now? In my opinion, not to pursue such a system at this time, with the technology being available, is almost a crime against humanity

Another question also comes up in some people’s minds: Why change the present system when they are promising such wonderful breakthroughs to come? Maybe we won’t really need anything else? Well, just remember, that most of those so called breakthroughs we hear about involve helping you with a disease only, not large scale prevention or wellness programs.

Also, let me read you some comments about those promises from some very prominent experts in the medical field.

1) Dr. Deepak Chopra (a very prominent and brilliant endocrinologist and author) wrote in his book Quantum Healing that he felt the so-called bullet type approach to curing cancer is very unlikely to succeed, and gives several pages on why. Basically, he feels the body is far too intelligent and sophisticated for these simple types of approaches to be effective.
He also mentions the failure in the 1950s of chemotherapy’s promise to eradicate cancer within a generation, and then again the failed promise of the seventies, with the so-called great breakthrough of interferon, which of course also failed.
2) Joseph Califano,
3) Bailor MD PhD
To observe opinions by these experts please click on link (page at the end of this article.

The system promoted here has a number of strong endorsements by holistic doctors who are MDs, but primarily practice preventative medicine. One is a professor on the faculty of the University of Minnesota Medical School. He stated that the proposed system is 20 to 30 years ahead of its time and strongly encouraged me to continue to promote the system to the public.

The proposed medical information system would also be very helpful in terms of further advancing CLS research itself, by providing an ideal mechanism for the testing of new advanced constituents.

Another thing we hear very little about now days is any serious broad scale research of natural compounds. Another major part of the proposed system is its sophisticated means for a very rapid and accurate evaluation of natural elements to see what effect they would have on human health. What are the possibilities involved here? For example there is over 260,000 chlorophyll based plants alone on earth that still need evaluating for possible health benefits. In addition, scientists estimate there are over 50 million invertebrates in the rain forests alone, to say nothing of the oceans. Shouldn’t we be seriously attempting to see what they might have to offer us, what they might contribute to our well being? Unfortunately, under the present profit-based system, there is extremely limited motivation to do any broad scale research into this area, because natural elements cannot be patented. We have no idea what this may be costing us in terms of our health, medical expense or for that matter even our future (more details in book on this).

There is limited research by the pharmaceuticals to find natural healing plants that can be analyzed for active chemical ingredients with the hopes of developing patentable pharmaceuticals. Looking at the broad picture, however, this is an extremely limited approach.

If there is a question in your mind about the value of natural compounds and the need for a systematic means of exploring them, let’s consider the discovery of antibiotics for a minute.

Penicillin of course came from mold, a form of fungus–a primitive plant. Penicillin was accidentally discovered in 1928 by Dr Fleming in England. While running some bacteria slides in his lab, he went on vacation and accidentally left a window open. The weather took an unusual turn which allowed for mold to develop and drift into the lab and contaminate his slides. The slides were thrown in the garbage, however, fortunately when Dr. Fleming returned, a friend happen to stop by and ask about his research, and so the slides were retrieved from the garbage, and he then discovered what had happenedthe mold had killed the bacteria. Even though we need to give Dr. Fleming credit for discovering penicillin, do we want to wait another 50 to 100 years for another outstanding accident? It’s essential that we move ahead with natural environmental research, on a large scale basis. It is highly likely we will find many more very valuable health related elements in nature. Furthermore, many of them would likely be available for the price of herbs.

As a final overview, I don’t have time to discuss these items now, but I do want to mention them. The following are just a few areas of interest that are incorporated into the proposed system and discussed in the book:

Solving hereditary deficiency problems
Solving Weight control problems
Fine tuning your body for optimal health, and intervention
Option of using the fee for service health care system, as opposed to only HMOS
Addiction control

Direct reliable testing of all chemicals manufactured in the United States and those shipped in on products as well
Direct reliable testing of all types of remedies for effectiveness and safetyincluding pharmaceuticals, natural compound remedies and even such considerations as the effects of meditation
Highly sophisticated second and third generation fully automatic home health testing equipment
Also, effective built-in accountability features for the present health care system
Many current day hospital problems and concerns such as in hospital staph infections etc.
Programs and means of selecting the safest hospital, including knowing what their in-hospital infection rates are
Effective program involving the selection of the right doctor and or surgeon

To wind up, I would like to read you a short paragraph from the book that helps to bring this all into perspective–Fireman’s analogy.
