Breathing, Longer Life and Better Stomach and Small Intestine Health
As the body ages many of the underlying processes of good health that we taken for granted weaken and even fail. It is important to understand that you can take a proactive stance to slow down your own aging process. Of greatest importance is your ability to breath deeply. Without strong breathing, you weaken for first line of defense against depleted health. Whenever you can, no matter what age, practice breathing. Without oxygen in your lungs to feed your heart, you will find that the body cannot do all the other things it needs to do. Oxygen to the heart keeps you alive, so breath to get the air deeply into your lungs below your diaphragm and into your back area.

Losing weight and regaining strength - A Physical Art
Very recently, I have been losing weight, and while many people around me are sick or cold vulnerable I have never felt better. The physical art of losing weight is not a simple art. I don't assume responsibility for any of the consequences of the exercises or steps shown below. You do them at your own risk, but if you are already reasonably healthy, they will probably help you further your goes of weight loss and strength building, and possibly your sex life, as well. It has taken me many years to figure out some of the rudiments of these physical arts, and I will share them free, gratis, with you. But you do the things at your own risk and use your judgment wisely as you may not be ready if you have an existing physical problem or weakness that is lurking below the surface. Get a health checkup first, if you need one:

Are Typhoid Fever and Cystic Fibrosis Related?
There is a mystery why so many people in Europe have the cystic fibrosis gene. Few people realize that they even have it or that they may already have children that have the gene, or that they may conceive children with cystic fibrosis. Do the math. If one in twenty have the gene then so many people who are married have the gene, and so many of the children that they have will have the gene. It's all down to probabilities, and chances are that you won't have a cystic fibrosis child because the math is working in that way, but only the math.

Daydreaming Our Way to Better Health
One often dreams while asleep. Dreams very frequently occur just before one wakes up and sunlight is gently caressing the windowsill. We value our dreams because they transport us away from fully integrated awareness.

Remember Its NOT How Much You Eat But How Well
One of the biggest mistakes that people make these days is to confuse quantity with quality when it comes to what they eat. The only way to get over this misconception is to actually experience the difference. My observation is that by eating quality food you will actually eat less food, and you will be better off for it. But, how do you begin?

Coffee Mate?
For those seeking to lose weight and be wheatfree, finding something wheatfree to go with coffee can be a bit of a challenge. My own solution starts with emphasis on the Dr. Sears 'zone diet' that targets an even balance between calorific quantities of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. The zone bars sold as part of the diet are mostly free of wheat, but it is always well to just check on the list of ingredients to be sure. Coffee for me is inseparable from reading and concentrating. While at home, I will have a coffee in the morning.

The Wuh Lax Diet: Groping Along in a World of Food Confusion
Right now, I am saying how fortunate I feel to be able to ditch wheat and flour from my list of preferred foods. Gone are the donuts, the cakes, the breads, the sandwiches, the gravies, the junk food of fast food houses. I can't eat in restaurants any more without searching deep into the menu for safe foods that do not contain the products of wheat flour that in foods is almost everywhere.

Daily Yoga, Exercising, Meditation, Prayer and Stretching
In our world of today, it is normal for people to live beyond sixty-five years of age. What we sometimes forget is that our most flexible years probably occur within the first fifteen years before we start the process of ossification.

Getting Serious About Finding Lost Balls
The very first principle about finding lost golf balls is that they are almost always in the rough. It is my contention that those most likely to be able to find golf balls are painters. It don't mean industrial painters, but those who can paint images in a painterly fashion. Such people are more likely to be able to distinguish small out of place blobs or pin pricks in an otherwise neat and tidy landscape. They will be able to find balls in fog, in the wet, in muck, in ponds and in tall grass along streams.

The Art of Finding Golf Balls
Some things are more like a skill and some things are more like a science or art. The activity of finding golf balls is arguably more like a science or art. My reasoning is that many people lose golf balls, and many of these are highly skilled individuals. Their main interest is in hitting a ball towards a very specific target. The more skilled the golfer is the less likely he will lose a golf ball. When a skilled player lose a golf ball this is due to really difficult conditions. The ball is very well hidden in the more obvious places and closer to the shorter grass, and yet it cannot be found. This takes a lot of skill.

More Exercise But Not Always Alone
Recently, my fitness instructor, directed me to the idea of a personal trainer. The idea was that even though I thought that I was getting enough exercise, she actually knew better. At first, the idea of a personal trainer seemed somewhat over the top, but I have definitely changed my mind. If you don't already have one, get a personal trainer, you may find that do this helps you more than having a family doctor, and it is much less expensive.

Half Size Mine Please I am Trying to Live Longer
Ever think why so many people don't seem to be able to lose excess weight no matter how hard they try. Part of the reason is that busy as usual at mealtimes means eating off a big plate. Almost from birth we are conditioned to the idea and practice of three meals a day with occasional snacks in between, tea in the morning, tea in the afternoon and then tea again in the evening.
