Joint and Muscle Pain

 

There is an epidemic of joint and muscle pain. Around 50% of people are putting up with anything from severe pain to constant niggles. The cause? Trauma excepted, most joint and muscle pain is a symptom that the skeleton is out of alignment due to tight muscles taking it out of alignment or poorly supported by weak muscles. ie it's personally-generated. That's the bad news. The good news is that with both a general and targeted flexibility and strength training program there's more than a better than even chance most joint and muscles pain will go away: no rubbing, crunching, heating, icing, vibrating, hanging-upside-down, doping or surgery.

Diet

 

How to eat wisely in a junk food world, that is the question.

 

$9 The Hourglass Diet is one of a series of books designed to inspire and motivate you to keep yourself fit and healthy to the best of your ability. In a nutshell it's a healthy eating program. If you eat from the top of the Hourglass there is a good chance that you'll be able to • nourish the cells of your body  • maintain an ideal weight. I spell out the distinction between good food and junk food. 33 pages

$7 We’re living in the junk food era characterized by cheap, tasty, energy dense, manufactured food that comes packaged, either ready to eat or ready to heat up and serve with minimal inconvenience. The fast food division of the food manufacturing industry is dedicated to providing its customers with instant gratification. I was going to write ‘culinary gratification’ but for most of this food you won’t need a knife, fork, spoon or chop stick to get it into your mouth. 51 pages

$5 The GI concept doesn't make clear enough the distinction between eating fresh and natural food and junk food. Fresh food should always take precedence over junk food. As it stands a handful of peanut M&M's (33) looks a better food choice than a handful of raisins (64). As I see it, there are ten reasons to suggest that the GI model, (concept or theory) about how to eat wisely is a side show. Get the book and read on ... 11 pages

$5 Reducing your body weight by 1% per week is achievable. OK, it's a stretch, but not beyond reach, providing you eat from the top of the Hourglass, you don't eat too much and you get over 1000 aerabytes of aerobic exercise each week.. The program comes with a spreadsheet which you can use to track your progress. 11 pages

Stress Relief

 

Stress, what is it, where does it come from, what does it do to you and how do you get ahead of it.

 

$5 It’s easier to describe stress in terms of what’s happening to us and how we feel, than establishing one definition that fits all. It’s not until I went through the thesaurus that I realized what a broad concept it is, pressure, force, strain, tension ...  Epictetus ’ hit the nail on the head’ when he said, ‘People are not disturbed by things, but by the view they take of them.’ 18 pages

$7 Good, bad or indifferent, stress comes from three sources, the outside environment, inside your torso, nside the head … or combinations of all three. The first signs of stress may be either mental or physical. Certainly there is a good chance that both your body and your mind will be ‘talking’ to you, giving you clues about your level of stress. Your job is to listen, to pick up those clues and do something to restore the body to good working order. 42 pages

$5 When we get stressed the body reacts in a flight and fight response. This is a normal, healthy function. However, the body was not designed to be aroused for extended periods of time. We need a balance of arousal and relaxation. Headaches, tight muscles, insomnia, fat gain, elevated blood pressure ... are the 'background noise' that accompanies stress. 14 pages

$7 Successful people have a framework for living which they've worked out for themselves, rather than had imposed on them, or accepted glibly from someone else. If we keep focused on the good life and the things we have to do to attain it, there's a good chance the good life will appear.One of life's great quests is to enhance the degree to which you can more accurately predict an optimistic future. 63 pages

Inner mental training audio files

 

Through introspection, reflection, contemplation, meditation, inner mental training and autosuggestion we have the ability to change what's going on inside our heads, in both the conscious and sub-conscious minds. You can, metaphorically give yourself a mental health defrag; remove or change some of the old programs that are holding you back, and reprogram yourself so you can (as Thoreau said) 'go confidently in the direction of your dreams'. Along the way you may have insight, discernment, understanding and awareness of how you tick, how the universe works, what's going on around you and what you need to do to live that Bertrand Russell and James Rohn called 'the good life'.

 

Stay focused.
