Diet and Nutrition
We sometimes hear about ways that we can take care of our organs
by the foods we injest. When we think about our diet we cannot
help but think about the effect our choices have on our heart,
liver and other internal and external organs.
For a considerable amount of time, nutrition has not played a
prominent role in the life of many martial artists, police, and
military personnel as a means of improving performance. Top
athletes are always looking for an edge.
Since Dr Basant Puri, a consultant psychiatrist and senior
lecturer at London's Imperial College MRI unit, released his
findings on Omega 3 and its effect on brain function and
depression, many studies have been performed regarding the
beneficial effects this fatty acid. Studies over the past two
years have consistently confirmed that Omega 3, a substance
lacking in today's "diet" is a key component in the brain's
development and proper functioning.
When it comes to planning a healthy diet, fat is a complex
subject. It's useful to understand some basic information.
Nature works mostly on the principle of thing and no thing. Light
is the thing and darkness is the absence of light.
The most incredible thing you can do for yourself is have a big
enough reason why that will totally light up your life and will
remind yourself of that reason every single day. We are going to
go through a process to help you create your reasons why to make
it almost impossible not to be healthy.
What I am also going to point out is the not-so-obvious cost of
not being healthy. But, as you know, nothing in life is free.
What is health? Everyone wants this thing called health, and yet
most people have never thought about what their "target of
health" actually looks like. If you and your family were healthy,
what would it be like? It is like this: Imagine you are shooting
a bow and arrow at a definite target and you have no idea what
the target is.
Here is a continuation of the light and darkness metaphor: a
bucket of water. The bucket represents you.
The question most people think they need an answer to is what is
the cause of their this or that? Many people pay it lip service,
but what is cause really? Going with the bucket analogy, what is
the cause of one of the symptoms or diseases not being covered by
water, or being expressed? Could it be that water is leaking out
of the bucket through the holes? Which hole is the "cause" of the
symptoms or disease being expressed? That is kind of a trick
question.It is not just one hole that causes a symptom or disease
to be expressed.
Health is the thing. And no matter how many ways you can measure
and quantify symptoms and disease, the only way to be healthy is
to add to your health.
Your Non-Conscious Mind is 98% of your full power. Over the last
couple lessons we taught you how to use your conscious mind to
actively create the directions for your non-conscious mind to
follow.
Many of us, probably even you, want this thing called health, yet
have no idea what it would look like if we had it. We are going
after this elusive thing, but we really have never stopped to
think about what it was.
Creating Your Target is easy.What I use to help create these
targets is what I call SMARTS targets SMARTS stands for:Simple,
Sensory, and Specific Measurable and Meaningful As If Now
Realistic Time Framed Smiley FactorSome more about what these all
mean:"S": Simple is exactly that.
Summer brings a lot of fantastic things with it, but one of the
healthiest for those of us in the colder climates is more fresh
food. The growing season has started and is shifting into full
gear.
