Excerpt from 'Don't Worry Be Happy' by Greg Biddell, an itinerant minister.
'People! You will never get rid of the rats until you get rid of the rubbish. If you keep clogging up your system with old garbage from the past, you will always be in a state of disrepair. It is time to take stock of your life and forgive every single person who has ever done you an injustice. If that person has passed away or moved on to an unknown address, it's no big deal, because this has nothing to do with them or their future. It has everything to do with you.
I believe in doctors, and quite honestly if it wasn't for some of these dedicated men and women in the medical profession, most of us including myself, wouldn't be here today............ However, I am a great believer in taking God at His Word and His word does say, that Jesus came to this world 'to heal' and He still does heal the sick today.'
'It is important to remember that we have the ability to be in control or to lose control., We also have the capacity, in God, to deal with our hurts and relinquish our resentments. However, if we fail to deal with these ungodly attitudes in the present, we can be sure they will come back and bite us in the future. Bitterness and unforgiveness are luxuries none of us can afford, as in the long term they become very expensive commodities.
During my studies of late, I came across a medical report concerning Alzheimer's disease. A survey was completed with several hundred nuns participating and it was found that the nuns who walked in forgiveness had very active and clear minds, whereas the nuns who generally took offence, and walked in unforgiveness were more prone to suffer from this disease.'
Glyconutrients, discovered by Mannatech's cutting-edge scientists, as the missing link and are vital to optimal health and well being. Sam Caster, Chairman of Mannatech, knows that glyconutrients or saccharides, also known as "healthy sugars", may benefit diabetics, and those wanting to avoid the disease, in several aways. By helping regulate the immune system, glyconutrients may improve autoimmune conditions, including type 1 diabetes.

Stretch for Performance
Stretching tip from 'Men's Fitness' magazine 1999
'To perform well in any athletic endeavor, you have to be loose through the hips. The hips generate power during any swinging activity and are the centre point for full-body movement. To stretch the hip/buttocks area, use this stretch, recommended by the American Physical Therapy Association.
1. Lie on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Keep your stomach tight, neck straight and the small of your back pressed toward the floor. Place the ankle of your left leg on top of your right thigh, justs above your knee, and inhale.
2. Bring your legs toward your chest as you clasp your hands under your right thigh. Exhale as you stretch. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds, then repeat on the opposite side.
Mannatech Inc. the leaders in Glyconutrition, have two products especially for sportsman and women, 'Empact' and 'Sport', which may give extra energy and strength and well as helping in recovery after strenuous exercise.

Truth About Excercise
Excerpt from 'The Genetic Key Diet' by Dr. Steven Nugent
'I have heard every excuse you can think of regarding exercise. If you choose not to exercise, it's a choice. Here are some of my favourite excuses: - I don't have time - I am too tired - I travel too much in my job - I can't afford a gym membership or home equipment.
I am going to address those excuses, but to make it simple those are reasons not excuses.
In 2005, I was on the road 310 days out of 365. Do you travel more than me?
My typical day is an early morning trip to the airport and flight to cities in any of 10 or more countries. When I arrive at my lecture venue, there are meetings and conference calls that go on all day until the evening lecture, which is nearly always preceded by a nutritional business dinner. After the lecture, that takes at least two hours, I typically answer questions that can go on for hours. When I get to my hotel room, my average day has lasted 14 to 18 hours, sometimes longer. Do you think I'm not tired from my schedule and workload?
You don't need a gym membership....It is important to warm up before exercise. I prefer to use the word activity rather than exercise as exercise has so many negative connotations.....Any activity can help you in your quest to increase lean body mass, and/or improve body composition.
Warming up basically consists of stretching your muscles, doing stretches on your legs, arms and back. Stretching the muscles increases the blood flow to the muscles, which is known as warming up. If you stretch before you begin physical exercise, you will be less sore, with less discomfort from the exercise as a result.
The first exercise any human ever got was probably walking; it still is one of the best.
Exercising the quadriceps, which require the most oxygen and are the large long muscle between your knees and your hips, is by far the most important for cardiovascular fitness and aerobic in general. Walking, running, cycling dancing, all work nicely for those muscles.....Keep it simple and zero cost, walking is great! Yes there are a zillion other methods I have not mentioned, but you get the idea.

Organic Wines and our Planet
Interesting item from 'Australian Table'
This was something I hadn't thought of in the area of protection of our planet. So it came as a pleasant surprise to learn about the organic wines available.
'Consumers are more concerned with where food and drink come from than ever before. We're more mindful of our own health, as well as the impact of our agricultural practices on the health of the planet. This is acutely felt among wine producers, as no other agricultural product speaks more evocatively of its earthy origins than wine - the roots of the vine tell the stories of the soil through their grapes, and all the winemaker really has to do is gently guide them into the bottle. Organic and biodynamic grape growers believe that without pesticides and herbicides, their wines better express the true nature of their vineyards, and while some producers use feelgood terminology to cover up bad winemaking, those who put in the hard work are achieving great results.'
'Sulfur dioxide is a preservative used in winemaking to help prevent oxidation, but it can play havoc with allergy sufferers. Producing wine without it requires careful, hands-on skills, and fruit with sufficient natural tannin to take over the preservative duties...'
Watch out for the organic wines on the bottle shop shelves for the perfect wine.

Energy for Life
Oxygen provides life and energy to all living cells.
If poor eating habits, alcohol, pollution, toxins, drugs and lack of exercise damage the cells then they are deprived of this vital oxygen and the body can become weakened. Low oxygen levels may affect the body's cell metabolism and may even cause serious health problems. Symptoms of oxygen deficiency can include weakness, fatigue, circulation problems, muscle aches and many other general feelings of lethargy and tiredness. If the immune system is compromised due to a lack of oxygen, the body can also become susceptible to bacterial and viral infections.
The medical and sports professions have now begun to look seriously at the value of increasing oxygen levels and the benefits obtained from it.
A good dietary supplement formula will also contain added plant based enzymes and ionic colloidal trace minerals. These additional nutrients along with the oxygen are an integral part of cellular nutrition. When the body has an abundant supply of these valuable nutrients combined with the nourishment of oxygen, it is better able to perform at peak levels.

Fixes for Fine Hair
Excerpt from 'The Doctors Book of Home Remedies for Women.'
Eating well to make sure one has the vitamins and minerals for enhanced nutrition and build up of immunity will also go in the right direction for healthy hair.
Experts have some ideal advice for women with fine hair.
'Crop it. - Fine hair looks thicker and chunkier when cut short, says Director of Vidal Sassoon, Elizabeth Hartley.
Let it swing free - Fine hair reflects lots of light, so styles that let your hair hang free alongside your face show off the shine, says Hartley.
Mousse it - If you have fine hair, add volume by moussing your roots, say Hartley. Lean forward from your waist, squirt a quarter-size poof of mousse into your palm, rub your hands together, then smudge the mousse through your roots. When it's well-distributed, throw your hair back and shake it.
Avoid using gels - Hartley adds. They're so heavy that the weight will make your hair collapse.
Let wet hair rest - If you have fine hair, after it has been washed and moussed, comb it into place and then leave it alone for at least ten minutes, get dressed, put make-up on or potter around your house. Your hair needs an opportunity to rest, or it will go limp and flat.
Coax your hair dry - Fine hair does not like rough handling, says Hartley, so don't style it with a blow-dryer set on high. Use a lower speed, and don't manhandle it: Instead of pulling on the ends with a brush, use your fingers to push or twirl ends into shape. The result will be more bounce and curl.
Coat with colour - Colouring your hair may thicken it, says Dr. Diana Bihova, a dermatologist and author of Beauty from the Inside Out. The colour penetrates the hair's cortex during colouring and causes it to swell. The result is thicker hair.'

Extra Protection Against UV Skin Damage
It is a vexing problem to rub cream all over our skin for protection from the sun's UV rays. What is actually going into our blood stream through the skin?
After all there are patches for the skin to protect one from pregnancy!
It is recorded (The Good Health News) that an Italian study has found that daily oral supplements of lutein and zeaxanthin (carotenoids found in egg yolk, oranges and green leafy vegetables) can bolster the skin's natural anti-oxidant system and protect against UV damage. Supplementing with a daily dose of 10 mg of Lutein and 0.6 mg of zeaxanthin provides a four-fold increase in protection against UV skin damage. It also increases skin hydration and elasticity.
