yin yang
Why almost no one is writing about this?

This is my obviously life companion. Principle. The system of natural health. Way of life that makes me different from most.

From the crowd. How working myself and in a “system of natural health” (SNH) has changed me?

Has it really changed me – or only I found what I already have? In my assessment this is an investment which I returned in many ways.

But at the same time turned my life upside down – or better – on my feet – as I was standing on my head before.

A couple of years ago, I went, full of doubts, but with curiosity and open-minded to my first lecture about philosophy 1

and later continue with philosophy 2, and some more lectures about food, natural law, practice two feasting for 7 days.

Then, I wasn’t even thought about the price that cost me, or even information that I got for this price.

The only think that was important to me at that time, was how to appease curiosity what these things are.

Beside this, my life hurt me so much, that I couldn’t take any more.

Nature woodsThen, this new knowledge, new revelations, was something totally different from what I knew before.

I had a head full of information; this food is good, this food is not good for you, one says this, the other this – in general, it was all mixed up.

Big time. Almost the same as our government, I would say.

Everyone and each defend its own opinion, but most of these people just like to talk about this matter a lot, but there are only few, who fallow and live their life in accordance with what they say or write.

I have try a lot of these things, and on the end I came to the conclusion, that the approach of Michelangelo Chichi is the best from all I knew then.

It’s not about food. This is like a nursery. First step. But only later I became to be interested in the similar seminars and scene and soon I realized that Michelangelo’s lectures are at a world highest level.

It’s like a going to a university. All the other stuff are just fragments, which seems to depend from each individual. Everyone should do their own puzzle.

I went through text which I juts wrote, as I thought it may be a bit too complicated.

But on the end, I have decided that it should stay as it is.

Run in natureIt’s not complicated at all. Ok, in my further post, I will get more specific about these things.

I have changed my food habits for New Year 2005 ( I know, you will say,ohh another new year’s promise, which wouldn’t stay few weeks).

But I must disappoint you. I must say, that I start noticing changes in my health status after a year from when I decided to become vegetarian.

Although I start noticing this, as a result, that I wasn’t catching a cold each winter, it stops pain in my stomach, which I had before, and also pain in my keens went away.

Before, you could see me walking around with my handkerchief also during the summer. I was 28 years old, when I started with changing my food habits.

Nature imaginationThe fallowing years, around two years later, in the summer I didn’t get burns any more, and best of all, I start going to the nature more.

To be more specific, each day I go, and if even for half a hour, to spend some time in the nature. I found out, that it calms me don’t unbelievably.

Now, I actually feed need to be in the nature. After a while, I notice, that I didn’t have any more need for alcohol.

Not that I would take it daily before, but I also cut of alcohol in the weekend.

You won’t believe, but I also changed my jog, my lifestyle, changed my point of view at the world, and perhaps something more, which I can’t remember now.

In addition to food, I regularly start practicing enema, and each year I go to 10 days feasting seminar to Italy, to Italian mountains.

During this time I have learned reflexology massage.

Stone therapyThere was also a seminar about classical massage, but I decided not to go, because I don’t want to practice massage professionally, but only for my own pleasure.

I also start to practice yoga a lot, I am planning to start with skydiving, hopefully next summer. Not hopefully, it’s already arranged that I am going. I start my own business, I am freelancer.

This way of work allows me to have free time when I want, and I am working for myself. Nothing better than that. I began to read books again, I have enhanced my intuition.

I stopped going to the restaurants, pubs, bars, I have drastically reduced my consumption habits, stopped going to the shops, I do not have a shopping fever, I have no TV, new mad cow epidemic and bird flu don’t get to me.

But, very important, I began to know what unconditional love is, I no longer depend on relationships and I see that the universe is exactly as it should be and I’m just all right with all my mistakes and the right qualities.

Natural exerciseAnd still, I know only little, there is still a lot to learn, and I know I will, as I have desire to learn.

But, I shouldn’t forget to tell you, that after all goods stuff that this have brought me, there are also some kind of “bad” stuff, that I am facing right now and which I don’t like so much.

When I solved some dependencies, things immediately led to new once.

Sometimes, I do have some little crises, but the best thing is, that after they are gone, the world is more beautiful, than ever.

Feeling is similar, as if you would pour out water from the lake, and then you see all the dirt and rocks, which were previously well hidden at the bottom in the mud.

And there is no other way than clean it. There is no water to hide it away. This feeling is specially known at feasting. But, on the end is always happiness and a lot of positive thoughts.

Maybe, this is something you should think about some day. And you never know, maybe one day, you decided to try it out.

And when you do, don’t forget to enjoy every moment of it (no matter bad or good once, on the end there are only good once).

Healty lifeRight food will benefit our health

Wherever I look, I see instructions on how to eat.

Healty food, with reduced calories, more tasty, but wholegrain, bio, no fat, no cholesterol, according to the food pyramid, the most recent and fastest and the best diet ever …

It seems to me that for any disease or other medical disorder there is so much advice, paths, miracle medicines and teas as well as for obesity with food.

And I wonder why, despite all these miracles there are more and more overweight people.

Young girls, almost children, everywhere, even (or even the most time) when buying clothes, they are talking about it.

How to lose weight, what is the best diet, which path celebrities are choosing… etc?

lose weightOverweighed and fat legs and buttocks, overlarge or to small breasts –and about this, how some “friend” have lose weight.  In one week.
And mother.

How serious she/he has gone again with dieting. And father.
Again he/she plays tennis as mad, just because she/he gains some extra weight over the winter.

And next year will return all again. Or even before.
But definitely before the summer.

Even in serious experts recommendations we a lot of times could found instructions on how to eat more “bio” food.

A lot of dietary fibers.
Whole grain rice. Whole wheat bread.

Wholemeal pasta. Brown sugar. Wholegrain meal.

At least 12 (!) Of portions of wholegrain meals a day. Every day.

And Mediterranean food.
And what is a healthy drink.

All must be free of bubbles (bubbles cause cellulite!). A whole barrels of fresh fruit juice.

Those bio once, with no sugar in it. It is almost obligatory to have a glass of red (why red?) vine per day.

If we fallow all these instructions, we will  be slim and healthy, happy and in accordance with the Food pyramid.

Food PiramideHmmm what about food preparation?

Of course, oil with no cholesterol!  (Excuse me? Is it not cholesterol from animal source? Are there are oils without cholesterol?

Do not use butter. But do use olive oil, olive oil..

And once again olive oil. But do not heat it up! As it will become carcinogenic!

Recently, it is preferable to use rape oil. It is more bio. But does not use, under any condition pumpkin oil! (I must admit, I love it, and use it daily).

It is black and thick and very dangerous. It goes into your vanes. Don’t you just over look these recommendations, which so called “experts” are giving us daily?

And on the end, we should be very thankful for these advices. But if you look back, in old days, they eat all sorts of different food, there was no experts to advice, and even tough, there was less illness that in today time.

But, if ou are one of those “unlucky” people with overweight problem – then you should definitely separate carbohydrates and proteins. Uff, this doesn’t go together. And the best will be, that you are avoiding carbohydrates for good.

And when you are trying and trying.

Trying hard, and you inform your practitioner, who has for the last ten years persuade you, that the pain in your knees, increased pressure, abdominal distention  are all due to increased weight.

Pasta plateTo not eat bread? And not pasta? Neither whole meal bread? And this for several weeks?

This is absolutely unhealthy. And inadmissible. Certainly will have consequences on health.

Diet without carbohydrates! (How is it? Is it not written in any serious textbook that starches and carbohydrates are not the same thing?

To the carbohydrates in abundance in fruits. And in vegetables. Even in the onions!).

breadEven the greater horror will fallow, if you succeed. You will lose thirty pounds.

Ok, I will get serious now – and let you know how it works.

The thing is, that all you need is, decide that this is for real.

And do set yourself real objectives, which you can achieve.

Do not set them to high.  You should distinguish between the ideal and healthy weight.

It is ideal weight is for beauty. That healthy one, can be a little higher. If you have some additional ten or fifteen kilogram much too you would not die.

Actually, is even better, because you will not have wrinkles. And you will look younger.
Ok. I will stop here and let you know some truth about thing that I have written above.

Food CarbohydrateTruth about carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are a group of foods with the same energy value as protein.

They have fewer calories as fat. Reduced to half.

However, in addition to carbon and hydrogen contain oxygen (this means that the combustion or metabolism do not need oxygen from the outside) and because the human body is arranged in

the way that the metabolism and absorption of carbohydrates into the blood begins in the mouth (not as in fat and protein,

which is just beginning to digest in the stomach or even lower in the duodenum and small intestine), is an ideal fuel, and most important (and quickest) source of energy. Also stored out in the body.

Food-754072They are always in stock and it’s easy to use for the body so we don’t fall into “hypo”, or we don’t lose blood sugar to the level, that we should eat something sweet immediately.

In carbohydrates group we count ib simple sugars (from one or two sugar molecules) that have a sweet taste, and made of sugar or starch (non-sweet taste).

We can enjoy one and the other should, but only quality once.

Now, with expert recommendation, we should not longer talk about all-over about carbohydrates, as a undesirable type of food, but we must sorted out,  to whether they are natural (eg vegetables, fruit) or processed (flour).

Ok, I will give you some rest after this post.. and will wrote more about carbohydrates in next post, as avoiding them is quite crucial to lose weight.

And once you get used to not use (eat) bad once, you will feel much better.

body shapeIf you know how to properly manage your metabolism, you will lose up to 600 extra calories a day. Follow a few simple tips and you’ll succeed. Check out how to get your metabolism into action.

You can start by changing some of your habits and get out of your daily routine. However, you should be aware that the success of losing weight depends on many other things for example genes, lifestyle, etc..

When you wake up …

You will get your metabolism get up and running, if you have a healthy morning meal. However, if the organism is starved early in the morning, your metabolism slows down, the body begins to use its resources. Later you will be so hungry, you’ll literally empty the fridge. It can be very encouraging that various studies have confirmed that those who do not enjoy the breakfast are more likely to be over weight than those who regularly enjoy their breakfast.

And what should we eat for the breakfast? It should contain large portions of wholemeal carbohydrates, and proteins. Check also for the ballast stuff. You can, for example, eat oat flakes and fruit, with yoghurt. You can add some bran. This is a great meal to speed up the metabolism. The organism will be grateful.

Caffeine for the speed

Caffeine also accelerates the metabolism. A survey that was published by the Psychology & Behavior shoved that those who drink a cup of real coffee, speeded up the metabolism by 16 percent compared to those who have consumed caffeine-free coffee. Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system and accelerates the heart rate and breathing. However, if you’re not a fan of coffee, or because of health reasons should not consume (coffee is not for each), you can replace it, for example, with the black, or green tea. Both speed up the metabolism.

Drink cold water

Scientists from the University of Utah have found out that drinking cold water accelerates the metabolism. The reason probably lies in the fact that the body spends a few extra calories, while the cold water is adjusted to the warmer body temperature. Also, regular consumption of sufficient quantities of water helps in regulating the digestion. Scientists have demonstrated that those who consumed at least ten glasses of water a day had a faster metabolism than those who drink half less of water.

In office …

Protein snack in moderate quantities is helping to strengthen your muscles. More muscle means faster burning of calories and fat even at rest.

green teaDrink a cup of green tea

Green tea contains a component, called ECGC, which accelerates the burning of calories. According to some studies, to two to four cups of green tea daily helps to spend 50 extra calories. On the other hand, experts warn that because of its medicinal properties green tea is necessary to enjoy only in small quantities, not more than once a day.

Drink a calcium drink

A glass of milk or yogurt with less fat will be the right choice. Research University of Copenhagen has shown that the calcium accelerates the metabolism to the extent that it “forces out” the excess fat from the organism. This effect has only natural calcium and not calcium supplements.

Warning!
Be careful not to consume all three meals at the same time. Choose the one that you prefer.

Choose Organic Food

When buying food, try to buy as much organic food as possible. Note and be aware that white flour and sugar are very harmful to your body. Even fruit and vegetables, which are not naturally produced, are not any good for your health.

Chili PeppersEnjoy spicy food

Add to your lunch or a little Tabasco or chili and your metabolism will be faster with for about 23 percent. Such spices affect the nervous system and therefore promote digestion. However, beware! Maybe your body does not tolerate hot spices, so be careful. If you have health problems, please consult your doctor first.

Make sure to eat enough iron

Women specially should provide a sufficient intake of iron, because of the blood lose during menstruation. If you have too little iron in the blood, it means that your cells are not supplied, the muscles are not strong enough, and you do not have enough energy. Your metabolism is slowing down. Regular enjoy food, rich in iron (red beets, carrots, apples, onions, garlic, etc.).

When you get home …

SalmonMake sure to eat omega-3 fatty acids

Afford fish for dinner. For example, salmon, tuna or sardines. These are the right choice, especially if you have problems with weight. They speed up metabolism and give you a feeling of satiety.

And finally …

Make sure you sleep enough

Researchers from the Stanford University have found that people who have slept only seven hours a day for a longer period of time, are more likely, to gain weight. Sleeping is an important part of the normal functioning of metabolism. So you should afford at least eight hours of rest a day.

What gives the caffeine in coffee, its effect?

coffeeAnd does caffeine keep us awake, or make us even more active?

Coffee is a morning drink, which wake us up and help us get ready for day ahead.

And be honest, we don’t drink it because of the antioxidants that it has, but we drinking it, because of the stimulating effect that caffeine has.

Caffeine works by blocking receptors of substances called adenosine, which also promotes sleep.

And the level of adenosine is increasing during the day.And does caffeine keep us awake, or make us even more active?

The longer we are awake, the higher level of adenosine will be achieved.

By blocking adenosine receptors, the caffeine help us “beat” sleepiness, which consequently make us feel more awake and alert.

By drinking coffee we are not getting smarter, I know… … not very good fact. But anyway, it will improve our activity and accuracy of our mental response. I say, not bad at all.

If we would make sure to intake accurate dose of caffeine daily, we could improve performance and prevent accidents, with those who work long hours, such as medical workers, firefighters and rescuers.
Most people drinks coffee at completely wrong time, as they drink a cup or two in the morning.

This is actually the last thing we need, since we have the lowest level of adenosine in the morning. It is better to start drinking coffee in mid-day and have some in the afternoon, of course, if your goal is to get through the sleepiness.

But millions of coffee addicts, who drink coffee in the morning can’t really be wrong, as they devote first morning thought to coffee.

Must admit, me myself do that some times. And there is such a thing – as craving for morning coffee, it is called “sleeping laziness”. It is true, that some people have major difficulties to get from sleep to alert stage. Some, who could be suffering from some mental disorder features, sometimes needs even two hours to get alert, after they wake up. Caffeine in coffee speeds up this process.

Dangerous combinations

Mixing alcohol with drinks, which contain caffeine, may cause great harm to your body.
In Sweden, a few years ago, they found out, that the three young people died because of mixing energy drinks and vodka.
After this accident, the health services in all media ads have announced warning, that mixing alcohol with energy drinks can lead to many health problems.

Is there any reason, why not love coffee??

Coffee drinkActually, there are only few. People with irregular heart beat are often advice to avoid caffeine, because of concern, that this could aggravate arrhythmia.
And if you have trouble sleeping, try to reduce the consumption of caffeine in order to ascertain whether caffeine is interfering with your sleeping and resting time.
Also common are advices to pregnant women, as they should limit consumption of caffeine from all sources.

The reason is that caffeine increases the risk of abortion; although not all experts do agree with this statement.
One of the signals of healthy pregnancy is, that pregnant woman temporarily lost the taste for coffee.

The excessive consumption of caffeine is associated with low birth weight, and because caffeine passes into breast milk, pediatricians advise nursing mothers to avoid drinking coffee.

But, according to the latest good news about coffee, the issue would likely to be reversed. Should people who do not drink coffee, think about it, and have a cup or two per day?

ArrhythmiaHypersensitive persons, children and pregnant women should be all avoided from beverages containing caffeine such as coffee, cola and energy drinks.

Overdose with decaffeinated, especially if you stir with alcohol, can cause arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat or moreover a cardiovascular collapse.

Coffee isn’t a universal drink

Recent findings are quite encouraging, even though still must be confirmed by other studies. Scientists need to understand better, what is in coffee and how it works on the body.

After all, for particular all serious diseases such as Parkinson’s and diabetes, active substances founded in coffee, will probably be synthesized in medicine, so that the dose can be carefully maintained.

Some pharmaceutical companies have already begun to explore this possibility. As far as antioxidants, you could get them from all sort of food, from various teas to oranges.
If you are among those who already enjoy a cup of coffee or two per day, these last findings are reason to cherish pleasure, which coffee gives us.

The message is that drinking coffee for most people is not dangerous. If, however, will show that consuming it, is somehow useful, so much better for us.

Effect of coffee on Balzac

Scientists are not the first to have discovered the virtues “buzzing”, which is gained from drinking coffee. Writers have praised it for a long time.

Honoré de Balzac, for example, said that the cup of coffee, “it begin to happen a general confusion of ideas , as it would move a large army battalion on the battlefield, things that they remember, begin to come in a noisy gallop, light cavalry creates a metaphor great change & rise a smile and the paper is covered with ink … ”
Energy drinkFatal combinationYoung people did rapidly accept consumptions of energy drinks, in the belief that they can drink in unlimited quantities.

Drinks, which provide power, have become very fashion and trendy.

But the producers did not foresight and proved it for mixing these drinks with alcohol, as not, that a lot of people are vulnerable to alcohol and caffeine.

As known as the interactions of medicines and alcohol, and we all know that they must not be mixed.

Although energy drinks are not drugs, there are similar actions in organism.

Stimulant and depressant

Two opposites are not good to each other, as caffeine is a stimulant (stimulates the activity), and alcohol is depressant (calms us down.

Thus, both are acting on the brain. , if you enjoy in larger quantities (and young people often do), this may also lead to heart attack- vein.

Those who survive it would never ever mix these substances together. But there are not only caffeine and alcohol in the drinks, which are controversial.

The energy drinks are often part of the ephedrine, and when we mix these three substances together, their activity is similar to activity when taking ecstasy.

And then, is not far away from the rapid collapse. In the U.S. have banned the use of ephedrine, the actual effects of caffeine on the body were discovered only recently.

Caffeine and headache

Cup of espresso contains about 60 mg of caffeine; liter of cola drink about 130 mg in one tin (250 ml) of the energy drink has about 90 mg of caffeine.

In cup of tea, we could find next to caffeine also other alkaloids such as theophylline and theobromine.

From chocolate to hot cocoa, all the products whose main ingredient is cocoa also contain caffeine.
It should be remembered that the caffeine is the component of many substances for the pain relief (in quantities of 60 to 200 mg), but also that caffeine in large quantities can cause headaches.

The effect after 15 minutes
Already fifteen minutes after having cup of coffee, caffeine occurs in the blood. Since acts on the central nervous system and accelerate the heart functioning, which supply more oxygen to the body.

For a better mood

Drink CoffeeCaffeine accelerates the consumption of calories, breathing, excretion of urine and stomach acid. After we consumed caffeine, it very rapidly leads to mood, concentration and motivation improvement, (goods euphoria), but this situation lasts for a relatively short time, from 30 to 60 minutes.

Afterwards comes the second, depressive phase. The larger dose of caffeine does not do the trick, and improve the situation, but it would make it worse – because often when it is used, the worse it works.

If you drink four cans of energy drink, you enter into the body of approximately 350 mg of caffeine, which is sufficient first for euphoria, secondly for depression and insomnia as a third stage.

Breaking hearts and rage

The International Olympic Committee is treating caffeine as a drug and they are disqualified players, if they found in urine a large proportion of this substance.

The concentration of 12 mg / l is acceptable, but more than that is already note as a doping. Eight pans of strong coffee can bring the concentration up to 700 mg / l.

As a stimulant caffeine may defer a feeling of tiredness. It works even better, if few days before we haven’t drunk any beverage that would contain caffeine (coffee, tea, cola).

Average sensitive man can intake daily dose of 100 to 130 mg of caffeine (that is equal to two, three, or one cup of coffee and half a tin of energy drink), and if it is taken twice or even three times larger amount, then it could lead to insomnia, migraines, heart breaking and rage attacks, which are reliable indications of poisoning.
