HIPPOCRATES KNEW THE REAL TRUTH

Ask any medical student about Hippocrates, the Greek Father of Medicine
born 460 B.C. They're likely to recite to you his infamous oath, "Do no
harm."
But did you know Hippocrates also asserted, "Let thy food be thy
medicine and thy medicine be thy food"? This respected scholar believed
the body had an innate ability to heal itself through food.
Since Hippocrates' day, the Western world's approach to treating illness
and disease has changed. Food and nutrition no longer play a role in
medicine.
In fact, less than six percent of graduating medical students in the United States receive any formal training in nutrition.
What's taken food's place?
Just one word: drugs.
Enter the massive pharmaceutical industry. It's become a half-trillion
dollar per year worldwide conglomerate -- and a 300,000 billion ... full

One of the simplest ways to eat clean is the Paleo Diet. The Paleo follows one simple concept. If you were a cave-man/woman, what would you eat/drink? You probably already know the answer. Back in the days they didn't have the famous, convenient, fast food chains that are on every corner today. There was no processing of food to get it out to the masses. The Paleo consists of lean proteins, Fresh fruits and veggies,whole grains and only WATER. No additives, no sauces, etc. I must admit it is not the most exciting of all the diet plans out there but, It works! Take out all the extra junk that companies put in food to add flavor. Get your proteins from the Deli. Have your fruits and veggies cut fresh (no bags) and Drink nothing except water! If you do this the ... full

The HCG diet is good for one thing and that is fat loss but guess what?
It does nothing else that is beneficial to to the body. It actually
harms the body more than it helps it. Another quick note: You can lose
weight if you stave yourself. You don't needs drops or shots to help
the process. Its simple, don't eat= lose fat. But you don't just lose
fat. You lose muscle as well and your body is in starvation mode which
is never good for your metabolism (your bodies ability to burn fat
naturally). Why not fix the root of the problem which was the lifestyle
choices being made that put on the extra pounds. If you do that youll
get the results naturally and not need to play dangerous tricks on your
self to get results.

Have you ever heard the term "leave it all on the floor"? This means give it everything you've got and have nothing left when done.
This so true when applying to your workout routine. If you want to get the most out of your body than challenge it every time you step
into the gym! "Leave it all on the floor" Hit the wall as we like to say. An easy way to make this happen is to take away the old 3 sets
of ten routine and replace with something like doing 1 set of 100. Lets take pushups for example. If I want to truly get the most out o
f my push up routine Im not going to do 3 sets of ten or 4 sets of 15. I am going to pick a large number and challenge my self ... full

The true cause of heart disease has always been defined in the medical world as high cholesterol. I'm not a Dr. but after researching this in detail I came to find some very interesting facts. Did you know the true cause of heart disease is a high oxidation level of your LDL cholesterol? Yep has nothing to do with high cholesterol. High oxidation levels are caused by poor diet, smoking and drinking alcohol, etc. Recently researchers with National Institute on Aging followed 11,000 people for tens years. In this study they found that those that supplemented with vitamin C and E, beyond what is required by the US RDA, decreased there chances of heart disease by more than half!! Further more they demonstrated less overall deaths from any cause! The surgeon general of the United States declared 68% of all diseases are caused ... full
