Chances are you’ve heard the word superfoods recently. It
refers to certain foods that contain high amounts of vitamins
and minerals, nutrients, essential fatty acids, fiber, and other
good things that keep our bodies running in tip-top shape.
Consumed daily, such foods have been shown to offer countless
benefits to our overall health, including their ability promote
healthy cholesterol levels and provide potent antioxidant
support for the body. So why does it seem that only in the past
decade have these remarkable foods received so much attention?

It’s no secret that obesity and obesity-related illnesses are
on the rise in this country. According to the American Obesity
Association (AOA), approximately 127 million adults in the U.S.
are overweight, 60 million are obese, and 9 million are severely
obese. The AOA further states that obesity increases the risk of
illness from about 30 serious medical conditions. And with so
much at stake, Americans are beginning to take a serious look at
how they live, how they eat, and how they treat their bodies.
That’s where superfoods come in. Below is a list of some of the
most power-packed superfoods and the benefits they provide:

Berries: High in fiber, nutrients, vitamins, and hundreds of
other beneficial compounds, berries are an essential part of
every healthy diet. These little powerhouses contain potent
antioxidant properties that help protect the body against
disease. Add blueberries, blackberries, cranberries,
strawberries and raspberries into your diet for a healthful and
delicious boost.

Citrus fruits: Citrus fruits such as grapefruits and oranges
contain unique flavonoids that provide powerful antioxidant
support for the body. Plush, they’re packed with vitamin C,
potassium, fiber and folic acid and easy to grab when you’re
constantly on the go!

Green leafy vegetables: Mom was right when she told you to eat
your vegetables. Lush leafy greens are loaded with vitamins,
calcium, fiber, potassium and carotenoids (the antioxidant-rich
pigments found in plants), as well as many other nutrients
essential to overall health. When planning your meals for the
week, be sure to include plenty of kale, spinach, romaine,
endive and broccoli rabe.

Legumes: Lentils, beans and peas are an excellent source of
fiber and protein, which helps promote healthy cholesterol and
blood sugar levels. Try them in soups, salads, spreads or as a
side dish.

Omega-3 fish: Cold-water fish such as salmon, tuna, mackerel
and sardines contain beneficial Omega-3 fatty acids. Used to
manufacture the cell wall of every cell in the body, Omega-3
fats may also reduce the risk of heart disease. They also
support the body’s reproductive, nervous and immune systems.

Soy: Whether consumed as soy milk, miso (soybean paste), tempeh
(soybean cake), tofu or simply edamame (soy beans), protein-rich
soy is packed with powerful antioxidants called isoflavones that
may help reduce the risk of heart disease by promoting healthy
cholesterol levels in the body.

Tea: Revered throughout history for its medicinal properties,
tea=97specifically black, green, oolong and white=97contain
beneficial flavonoids shown to protect the body against disease
and support overall health.

Tomatoes: Nutrient-rich tomatoes contain high amounts of
lycopene, a plant pigment that provides many health benefits.
Lycopene supports the body’s immune system by working to
neutralize harmful free radicals=97unstable compounds that can
severely damage healthy cells in the body. Free radicals have
been linked to heart disease, cancer and other age-related
illnesses.

Walnuts: While many nuts and seeds=97including almonds, cashews,
brazil nuts, hazelnuts, pumpkin and sunflower seeds=97contain
heart-healthy fatty acids that have been shown to promote
healthy cholesterol levels, but walnuts in particular are packed
with plant-based Omega-3 fatty acids. In addition to supporting
cardiovascular and immune health, these Essential Fatty Acids
(EFAs) help promote healthy digestion.

==================
Are you the kind of person who tends to keep absolutely
everything they own for years and years even if you do not use
it? If so you may notice that your home becomes extremely
cluttered and even your storage closet could be bursting at the
seams in desperate need of a little organization. If this is the
case, what you need is some closet organizers to help you out!

What a Closet Organizer Could do for You

Closet organizers come in a variety of different shapes and
sizes and they are designed to help you to take control of the
clutter in your life. You can buy them ready made from many
hardware stores and you can also find them on the internet too.
Even if you have the largest closet in the world, you would
still somehow manage to clutter it up without the use of a
closet organizer so it really is worth thinking about getting
one.

If you have piles upon piles of clothes and you just cannot
seem to find space for them anywhere then why not consider
purchasing a rod which you can hang in the closet. That will
allow you to hang old clothes up and it will keep them out of
your way and increase the amount of space which you have.

If you have a lot of clutter such as old ornaments or books,
then shelving may be a good option for you too. Purchasing the
right sized shelving is essential unless you want to waste
money. So, take measurements before rushing out to the store to
buy them! For best space efficiency it would be better to buy
the largest shelves which will fit as that will allow you to
keep more things on them stored away out of the main home.

Once you have fitted adequate shelving and a rod to hang old
clothes on, you should notice that you have a lot more space.
This will then help you to keep your home a lot more organized
and it will also make you happier as you will not have to put up
with bits ands pieces everywhere.

Of course if you have too much junk you should consider getting
rid of it completely. Old clothes and books etc can be sold
online or you could even hold your own yard sale. Once you have
got rid of everything that you do not actually want, you should
notice that you have a lot more space everywhere.

So, if you have not already purchased any closet organizers it
would be well worth thinking about in the near future. You can
purchase them anywhere or you could make your own if you would
prefer. Either way, they could really help you out.

Title: Could You Be a Fan for a Team That Loses 10,000 Baseball Games?

Could You Be a Fan for a Team That Loses 10,000 Baseball Games?
Copyright =A9 2007 Ed Bagley

I have seen New York Yankee baseball fans throw things at
opposing players in the outfield. Sometimes a roll of
pennies, perhaps a used battery from a flashlight, or
anything they have not finished eating and do not like.

Philadelphia is known as the City of Brotherly Love yet
Philly fans who get upset might chuck things at their own
players, like rocks or car batteries for the drunken,
brawny types.

Philadelphia Phillies’ fans are arguably the least patient
and most volatile in baseball, and I know why.

A report in USA Today (7-3-07) notes that the Phillies are
on the verge of becoming the first pro sports franchise to
record 10,000 losses. They had 9,996 losses as of July 3,
2007.

The next nearest teams in losses are the Atlanta Braves
(9,675) and Chicago Cubs (9,421). I would have guessed the
Cubs but not the Braves.

It should be pointed out that the Braves and Cubs were in
the original National League in 1876, and the Phillies and
Giants came into the NL 7 years later in 1883.

Here are some interesting facts about the Phillies’ dubious
record:

The Phillies lost at least 90 games a season 20 times in
the 25 years from 1921 to 1945.

From 1919 to 1945 (27 years) the National League Phillies
finished last 16 times and second-to-last 7 times. That is
23 out of 27 years in last or next-to-last place. No
wonder the working class men drink so much beer in
Philadelphia.

One of their managers during their aforementioned lean
years was Doc Protho, a practicing dentist whose son,
Tommy, was head coach of the NFL’s Los Angeles Rams
(1971-1974) and San Diego Chargers (1974-1978).

Former Seattle Mariner and current Philadelphia starting
pitcher Jamie Moyer grew up in Philadelphia, and there is
one Phillies loss he will never forget. In 1986, as a
member of the Chicago Cubs, Moyer beat the Phillies and his
boyhood hero, Steve Carlton, 7-5 for his first big-league
win.

The Phillies went 47-107 in 1961 and finished 46 games out
of first place, but the lowest point was a 23-game losing
streak that remains the majors’ longest since 1900.

The Phillies most excruciating losses came in a 10-game
stretch during September 1964. Philadelphia was leading
the NL by 6.5 games on September 21 with 12 games to play.
They lost the next 10 and the St. Louis Cardinals won the
pennant.

The halfway point to 10,000 losses came on July 24, 1945,
at Chicago’s Wrigley Field when the Cubs won 8-3 before a
scant crowd of 8,393. When you do not win, no one wants to
come see you play.

The Phillies do own the NL record for 100-loss seasons, but
here is a perspective worth noting: The Phillies had 13
100-loss seasons during their first 63 seasons and only one
in the next 62 years.

Despite the bad news, there is some good news to report.

Philadelphia won the World Series in 1980 and played in the
1993 Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. Unfortunately,
they lost in Game 6 of the 1993 series when lefty closer
Mitch “Wild Thing” Williams gave up a series-ending home
run to Toronto’s Joe Carter at the Sky Dome.

If any of this sounds familiar, think of the baseball
movie, Major League, with Charlie Sheen as Rick “Wild
Thing” Vaughn.

Here is the one really great thing you can say about the
Philadelphia Phillies: Mike Schmidt.

Mike Schmidt is arguably the best third-baseman in major
league history. There is Brooks Robinson of the Baltimore
Orioles to think about, but remember that Schmidt was a
three-time (that is three-time) Most Valuable Player and
also won 10 Gold Gloves.

Did I mention that he also hit 548 home runs (before
steroids), had 1,595 ribbies and 2,234 hits. His 48 home
runs in 1980 set the single-season record for a third
basemen. Oh yeah, Mike Schmidt is in the Baseball Hall of
Fame.

Many weight loss supplements make fantastic claims, promising
to melt fat or pack on muscle at an amazing rate. However, if
you actually try these supplements, you could see a far
different result ranging from nothing happening to gaining
weight to actually damaging your health. In a day and age when
so much is regulated by governmental agencies, how is this
possible?

In America, weight loss supplements, along with many other
herbal and homeopathic remedies, do not fall under the
jurisdiction of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This
means that, unlike foods and medications, weight loss
supplements are not subjected to the FDA’s rigorous standards of
safety and effectiveness. As long as they don’t directly claim
to have a therapeutic effect, supplements can make wild promises
with little to no scientific proof to back up their statements.

This doesn’t mean that all weight loss supplements are useless
or worse =96 far from it! However, it does place the burden of
research on the shoulders of the consumer. Before buying into
the claims of any supplement, do some research on your own to
determine if it’s right for you.

For example:

=95 Define your goals before buying any supplements. Are you
trying to supplement your nutrition, boost your metabolism, or
build muscle more effectively?

=95 Find out how the supplements are supposed to work. This will
help you to decide whether there are any risks (i.e., boosting
your metabolism can also lead to increased blood pressure and
risk of heart disease.)

=95 Read the manufacturer’s warnings carefully.

=95 Look online and in newspapers to find out whether other
people have had success with the product.

=95 Talk with your doctor to find out whether there are any known
health risks.

=95 Stick to brands with solid, trustworthy reputations in the
industry.

By following these simple recommendations, you can use
supplements to increase the effectiveness of your weight loss
program while safeguarding your health and your pocketbook.

At first glance, hypnosis affiliate programs are only useful if
you’ve got a hypnosis site.

But if that is your view, maybe you need to widen your
thoughts.
Hypnosis can be used for a wide range of different applications
including:

=95Weight loss
=95Self improvement
=95Quit smoking
=95Relationships
=95Phobias and fears
=95Pain relief
=95Sports performance
=95Stress management
=95Cancer treatment
=95Relaxation
=95Anger management
=95Dealing with difficult people
=95Confidence

In fact, if people have got a problem then the chances are that
there’s a hypnosis program out there to solve it.

Whether you use it as part of your email sequence or on one of
the pages on your site, the beauty of using hypnosis for part of
your affiliate sales is that the cost of a download is low, the
customer gets instant gratification and you get your commission.
The best site I’ve come across sets a 365 day cookie, so you’ll
even get commission on return visits.

I’ve promoted lots of different affiliate programs over the
years.

Clickbank has a number of hypnosis products for sale. If you’ve
got a site that deals purely with hypnosis or mind control, I’d
recommend starting there.

But if your site appeals to a wider, more “normal” audience,
then you should strongly consider adding hypnosis to your
affiliate arsenal.

For instance, if you promote weight loss affiliate programs
then a hypnosis track is a good add-on sale as it will provide
the backup help people need when they are dieting.

If you sell an anger management product, the same goes for
that.
Dating sites would also make a good vehicle for hypnosis
affiliate programs =96 often people who are dating need help with
their confidence (or other, more confidential, problems). Again,
it’s a good add-on sale and you’ll be seen as being helpful and
considerate.

Why are more and more people interested in how to do a colon
cleanse? My opinion on this is simple; I think that there are an
increasing number of people who are aware that to live a long
and healthy life (without lots of medical bills), there needs to
be an understanding of preventative actions a person can take to
enhance health.

Can you imagine an engine that can keep working for about 80
years without being maintained by a mechanic? For your body,
you are the mechanic and so you need to make sure that you are
aware of how the body works and know which parts to give special
attention if they are causing problems.

Unfortunately (keeping the engine analogy going) in most
industrialised nations we are feeding the “engine” with low
grade fuel, which is making it run inefficiently.

When we eat, food is passed through the stomach, after being
immersed in hydrochloric acid, then into the upper intestines
and finally on to the lower intestines (the colon) once the
majority of the nutrients have been taken out of the food.

The colon is then responsible for evacuating the waste,
absorbing excess water.

The normal transit time from the mouth to bowel movement should
be about 12 =96 18 hours. However, in most western countries the
usual transit time is estimated to be about 65 =96 100 hours.

Why is this a problem?

The main problem is that we are exposed to the toxic waste that
is left over from the foods we have eaten for far longer than we
should be.

The amounts of toxins that are in the food supply have
increased dramatically over the last twenty years, and the
average person, unless they drink distilled water and eat only
organic vegetables and meat products will be faced with a
multitude of toxins.

The longer these toxins are in the colon, the more chance there
is of them “poisoning” the body and making the colon sick. Which
will further slow down the transit time of waste.

As a defence mechanism mucus is secreted in the colon, which
can allow waste material to be glued to the sides of the colon,
further increasing the risk of toxin leak.

There are various signs of a sick colon, including diarrhea,
constipation, aches and pains in the lower back, skin problems,
poor immune system, headaches, gas, allergies, bad breath and
repeated vaginal infections.

So, what is to be done about it?

Essentially, there are two things you need from a healthy
colon, you need it to be clean and functioning correctly. Clean
means that there is no putrefied faecal matter glued to the
colon, and functioning means that the transit times are
appropriate, usually less than 24 hours.

A good step is to change diet to remove processed foods, foods
that are high in fat, and foods that are low in fiber.

Replace these foods with organic vegetables and fruit to ensure
the diet has sufficient fiber/ roughage.

There are a number of bulking agents and stimulants that can be
taken to bring back some of the health of the colon, including
psyllium or guar.

The key to understanding how to do a colon cleanse is to
understand the severity of the problems you may have. Sign up

Here is how to rub fat away from your belly

The conventional methods for losing weight and flattening the
abs are often tedious and they simply don’t work, they require a
lot of sacrifice and are very expensive, each day there is a new
book on how to lose those inches!

Today I am going to show you a simple way to remove fat from
your belly-it is a simple 5000 year old Chinese method that
tales just two minutes of your time!

Lie on your back to begin this exercise. Put the palm of your
hands on your navel then simply rub it as follows.

Use your right hand, then rub clockwise from the center, that
is from right to left, first in small circles, then increase the
circles until the upper and lower abs are being rubbed when you
have covered both the lower and upper abs, reverse the movement
counter clockwise, this time the circle gets smaller with each
and every counter clockwise rotation until you are back at the
navel.

Do not apply force, you want a simple gentle rub, when you get
to the navel, repeat from the start again, do this 10-12 times

Your chi-invincible energy is being passed from the hands
through the skin to your belly, so as you go in circles, you are
applying energy to the muscles of the stomach. That is what
happens when you apply your right hand on your belly and
performing the clockwise movement.

Visualize the energy from the hands going through the skin to
your belly, gently massaging and burning fat off your abdominal
area to make this exercise more effective.

This electricity from your hands- your chi- massages your
intestines, your blood vessels and your digestive and bowl
system.

Fat accumulations are disturbed from their resting place and
broken up, where it is passed into the bowl system and
eliminated.

This way your stubborn fat is burned away simply by rubbing
away!

Another benefit when you rub your abs in a clockwise position
is that you are encouraging proper bowel movement. This
relieves constipation that is usually causes water retention and
weight gain.

So if you suffer from constipation, this exercise will allow
you to have regular bowel movements which will allow you to lose
those last few stubborn pounds.

While many times when you book a trip you merely have to choose
which hotel you wish to stay in, there are various Benidorm
accommodation options available. When you first consider where
you are going to stay on this visit to Spain it is important to
do your homework. In many cases you can simply get on the
internet to see the property rental and hotel options that are
being offered in the Alicante Region.

The first thing to consider is that this is a popular area, so
you need to do your research and book your reservation as soon
as you can. This is especially true if you are planning your
trip in a traditionally busy time of the year, such as the
summer. It is advised if you are going to travel in the busy
summer months that you make your reservation at least six months
before your trip.

Hotels

There are a wide variety of hotel options in Benidorm. There
are over 170 hotel properties you can pick from when planning
your stay. There are hotels to fit every lifestyle and price
range from simple and low cost properties to very lush and
luxurious, five-star hotels.

If there are certain amenities you will want in your hotel such
as a built in restaurant, pool, or proximity to attractions,
take this into account when you are looking for your place to
stay. It is important to note that the larger hotels that will
have these amenities will also be the ones that are a bit more
expensive. But the extra expense may be worth it if you have
children who are going to be bugging you to go to a pool or for
other child-friendly activities.

Apartments

If you are considering an extended vacation in Benidorm, you
may want to steer away from hotels and consider an apartment
instead. This can be especially nice if you have the family with
you. By renting an apartment you essentially can create your
home away from home for this extended vacation and have all the
comforts of home, including being able to prepare meals
together. When looking for a property to rent there are a few
options, you can search the internet, contact a Benidorm real
estate agent, or contact your real estate agent. One of your
best options is to check with an agent who is actually based in
the city. They will have more information on what rentals are
currently available and will be knowledgeable about what is
nearby.

One way to save money while booking a rental property in
Benidorm is if you can contact the property owner directly. This
will save you the cost of the commission to an agent for booking
the property. While it may take a little more searching, many
property owners advertise their property for rent in travel
magazines or on the internet.

Once again, take the busy seasons and locations into account
when booking. If you want a place to stay in the busy summer
months, or if you want a great location overlooking a beach, you
will want to book at least six months in advance.

Let’s say you’re just starting out in business. You need an
office but your budget margin is so tight it leaves little room
to afford one cubicle, never mind a whole office suite with the
equipment and amenities you need such as a kitchen and
conference room.

You drive by and see a sign out front of a nice office location
which reads `Commercial Office Space’. The building looks
respectable. Maybe this is for you?

You take a moment to stop in and find The people inside are
quite friendly. The commercial office space shown to you is
clean and spacious, except that it consists mainly of bare walls
and a floor. But then again,that’s what you had expected in the
first place.

You are ready to negotiate a one year agreement when the
leasing agent lies a thick stack of documents in front of you
and announces, “This is our standard lease contract.” You begin
reading…or try to read. But it contains so much legalese your
eyes begin to glaze over. Now you understand why everyone always
says, “If you’re going to lease commercial office space, you
should consult with your lawyer before signing it.” But there is
one thing you do understand – the contract is for three years
minimum.

Most people realize it would be unwise for any new business
owner to get locked into an office space agreement for three
years. In reality, this is more geared for an established
business. Also, what if all goes according to plan, and in six
months you have already forecasted that you are going to need
expansion room? This contract doesn’t seem to address these
types of unpredictable factors.

As for your tight budget, you begin thinking about all that
bare office space. You’ll be responsible for purchasing all
kinds of furniture and office equipment. Plus, you will need to
hire a receptionist to take your calls and greet your visitors
when you’re out of the office. It is beginning to make you
nervous when you consider these additional costs.

Before you sign a long-term contract research all your options.
Some options are so incredibly flexible, expanding and
contracting as fast as you can sign your name. One such option
is executive suites, which can be dubbed the alternative to
commercial office space.

Not only does executive suites come fully furnished, they
provide a receptionist and have flexible leasing options and
offer short-term, easy to understand contracts to accomodate
your budget. You will be amazed at the choices provided by
executive suites for the new business owner. It is a more
practical, sensible approach to leasing office space and takes
into account your present and future needs from day one.

Relaxation Tip 5 Exercise.

Exercise is a great way to reduce stress. The minimum
recommendation for exercise for body maintenance is at least 30
minutes for 5 days a week. Exercise also induces deep breathing
and besides the obvious effects of exercise for loosing weight
and keeping fit you also improve your body image and self
esteem. This will help you will feel more confident and able to
cope with the stress of everyday life.

Relaxation Tip 6 Time for yourself.

Ensuring you find time for yourself this is a very important
and often overlooked when you are busy at home or work. Take
that all-important time out to do just what you want which may
include finding time to do some of the relaxation techniques
just discussed.

If you are a busy parent remember to take care of your self as
well as taking care of your family. If you have kids get them to
bed early enough so you have time to relax doing what you want
to. If they are older children you can agree with them I want
the lounge to myself (or to you and your partner) after say… 9
o’clock.

Relaxation Tip 7 Have a cut off time.

Having a cut off time is such a simple relaxation technique it
is often forgotten. Make a promise to yourself “I will only work
to a certain time” and then be disciplined enough to really stop
at that agreed time and then do something you enjoy and can
relax with, taking your mind off things. You can also use this
as quality time with your partner, keeping the relationship
fresh and healthy. Spending time together relaxing and not
worrying about work, the home, the kids and the never ending
steam of bills will be very important to you both. Treat
yourselves to a warm romantic atmosphere with aromatic candles,
a nice meal and talk about things you enjoy rather than the
pressures of the day.

Relaxation Tip 8 Have somewhere to do your own thing.

Try and have an area somewhere where you can do your own thing,
a hobby, pastime or a sport. Keep it clear, tidy and ready to
use when you need it. This could be as simple as having a comfy
chair ready to read in (make sure it is not covered with washing
and ironing!). If you have an area for keeping fit in, it is not
very relaxing thinking I will go and get a few press-ups done if
you find you need to spend half an hour moving bikes and garden
tools!

It is not selfish taking time to relax; indeed it is vital that
you do so. The benefits of relaxation are overwhelming. Applying
relaxation techniques consistently will improve your health and
your well being, helping you alleviate conflict in your
relationships at work, with friends and your family, and
ultimately promoting a long and happy life.
