<div>I am relaxing in the Golden Gate Park with hubby Vladi yesterday</div>
<div>And he comments on how super happy I’ve been lately. &#8220;What are you doing differently?&#8221; he asks.</div>
<div>You see after Kauai I had been feeling a bit lazy, lethargic even.</div>
<div>Then I realized that during the Summer vacations and all I ate a ton of sweets</div>
<div>(Actually I had <em>an affair</em> with Coconut Bliss Vanilla Ice-cream, but don’t tell Vladi)</div>

<div>If you think that you have a willpower problem when it comes to sweets.  That’s NOT it!</div>

<h2></h2>
<h2><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px; font-weight: normal;"><strong>Good water changes EVERYTHING.</strong></span></h2>
<p>All water is not created equal. Most of us understand the importance of clean water. Are you buying bottled water, or drinking from a water filter or water purifier? Did you know that your clean water may not be healthy?<strong> </strong></p>
<p><em><strong><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/water_filtration_img_4.jpg"><img title="water_filtration_img_4" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/water_filtration_img_4.jpg" alt="" /></a>Water&#8217;s Amazing Properties</strong></em><br />
A water molecule is one of the most unique elements on the planet. It has an incredible ability to absorb virtually anything it comes in contact with. Actually, if water was any more absorbing it would be virtually impossible to capture, store, transport and treat.</p>
<p>Water&#8217;s amazing ability to absorb applies to elements it contacts physically. This absorptive capability provides all of the healthy natural occurring minerals found in good/clean water sources, but can also lead to the accumulation of dangerous, life-threatening compounds as well. Taking this concept to the next level, world-renowned scientist and researcher Dr. Emoto has uncovered water&#8217;s ability to absorb energies and physically change based on its surroundings.<br />
<strong>Sources of Contamination</strong><br />
Water pollution is the contamination of water bodies such as lakes, rivers, oceans, and groundwater, which can be harmful to the organisms and plants that live in these water bodies, as well as the humans that consume or bathe in it.</p>
<p><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/water_well_img.jpg"><img title="water_well_img" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/water_well_img.jpg" alt="" /></a>The primary sources of water pollution are generally grouped into two categories based on their point of origin. Point-source pollution refers to contaminants that enter a waterway through a discrete &#8220;point source&#8221;. Examples of this category include discharges from a wastewater treatment plant, outfalls from a factory, leaking underground tanks, etc. The second primary category, non-point source pollution, refers to contamination that, as its name suggests, does not originate from a single discrete source. Non-point source pollution is often a cumulative effect of small amounts of contaminants gathered from a large area. Nutrient runoff in storm water from flow over an agricultural field, or metals and hydrocarbons from an area with high impervious surfaces and vehicular traffic are examples of non-point source pollution.</p>
<p>Pathogens can produce waterborne diseases in either human or animal hosts. Eutrophication is the fertilization of surface water by nutrients that were previously scarce. Water pollution is a major problem in the global context. It has been suggested that it is the leading worldwide cause of deaths and diseases, and that it accounts for the deaths of more than 14,000 people daily.</p>
<p><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/water_filtration_img_2.jpg"><img title="water_filtration_img_2" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/water_filtration_img_2.jpg" alt="" /></a>Rain drainage is another major polluting agent because it carries such substances as highway debris (including oil and chemicals from automobile exhausts), sediments from highway and building construction, and acids and radioactive wastes from mining operations into freshwater systems as well as into the ocean. Also transported by rain runoff and by irrigation return-flow are animal wastes from farms and feedlots, a widespread source of pollutants impairing rivers and streams, groundwater, and even some coastal waters. Antibiotics, hormones, and other chemicals used to raise livestock are components of such animal wastes. Pesticide and fertilizer residues from farms also contribute to water pollution via rain drainage.</p>

<p><strong>What Water Filter Should I buy?</strong></p>
<p><strong><a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/H20.jpg"><img title="H20" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/H20.jpg" alt="" width="223" height="335" /></a></strong>I have invested into a water filter that does 3 very specific things:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Purify</strong> the water from the environmental toxins</li>
<li><strong>Ionize</strong> the water to create more oxygen available for your health</li>
<li><strong>Alkalize</strong> the water – key to fighting inflammation in the body</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Water Purification</strong> – you maybe most familiar with this feature since that’s what most water filters provide (although most water filters on the market only purify <em>some</em> toxins…not all)</p>
<p><strong>Why Ionize? &#8211; </strong> Ionized water is the product of mild electrolysis which takes place in the ionized water unit. The production of ionized water, its properties, and how it works in the human body are described in the next section. Ionized water is treated tap water that has been filtered and reformed to create reduced water with a large mass of electrons that can be <strong>donated to active oxygen</strong> in the body to <em>block the oxidation of normal cells</em>. (for cancer prevention, etc)</p>
<p><strong>Why Alkalize? &#8211; </strong>No disease can survive in an alkaline environment.  You might remember from high school chemistry the Acid-Alkaline spectrum.  The more acidic you are (or the more acidic food you eat like meat, alcohol, coffee, etc), the<a href="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/water_filtration_img_3.jpg"><img title="water_filtration_img_3" src="../wp-content/uploads/2010/07/water_filtration_img_3.jpg" alt="" /></a> sicker you become.  Eating raw green leafy vegetables is a great way to alkalize your body.  But it’s not the fastest way.  What do you ingest daily in addition to food??   WATER.  When a high quality water filter <em>also alkalizes</em> your water, you alkalize your whole organism …and SUPER FAST!   You don’t even have to think about it.  Every time you add water to smoothies, soups, desserts, etc – you HEAL YOURSELF.</p>
<p><strong>.</strong></p>
<p><strong>Water is the KEY to Longevity</strong></p>
<p>We highly recommend you invest into a high quality water filter that will last you and your family a lifetime. You want two things from a filter: clean <em>and </em>healthy water. We have found exactly that in a water filter called Athena by IonWays. <strong>Buy your own Athena <a href="http://www.ionways.com/default.aspx?UserName=FullyAlive" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.ionways.com/default.aspx?UserName=FullyAlive&amp;referer=');">HERE</a></strong></p>
<p>Yes, Athena ROCKS!  She even talks to you, when you press the “Alkalize” button Athena confirms out loud – “Alkalized water selected”.  Or if you want Acidic water (which is what you want for watering your plants), Athena confirms – “Acidic water selected”.</p>
<p>So needless to say, we LOVE Athena.  And we highly recommend her for your household too!</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Cravings &amp; Stress Eating:</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>The 2 Keys to Breaking Free</em></strong></h2>
<p style="text-align: center;">Written by Olga Aura for Coast Views Magazine</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">The problem with cravings and stress eating is that we are starving.  Yes, starving for deep nourishment that food alone can never provide. But we keep eating.  Unsupportive relationships – we eat, bank account is unstable- we eat, not doing the work we love – we eat.  How can we break free and feel happy in our bodies?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Here is a recent consultation with a student in my 21 Day Cleanse, a petite woman in her early forties who I will call Debbie.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Olga:      Recall a most recent craving, what substance did you crave?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Debbie: It was fried chicken with French fries, and a chocolate milkshake.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">O:      What was the feeling that propelled the craving?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">D:  I was home alone.  And I was feeling anxious and lonely.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">O:      Where do you feel this anxiety and loneliness in your body?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">D:  In my solar plexus.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">O:  Breathe into the solar plexus and ask:      “What am I disconnected from and replacing with chocolate milkshake and      chicken?”</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">D:  It’s intimacy.  I have been avoiding intimacy (sobbing).</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">O:  So what is it that you <strong><em>really      want, </em></strong>that which will replace the food?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">D:  I want connection, trust, and love.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Can you relate to this story?  Haven’t you been struggling long enough? You might have been asking for a magic key or a portal to transport you into a new vibrant body, a new life.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Key #1 &#8211; The food is the portal. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Like Alice in Wonderland who falls through the Rabbit Hole, you fall deep into the golden core of yourself.  As you fall you surrender “The Story” you have written about yourself “I am fat, unlovable, a Virgo, an addict, a wife, a banker, my father left me when I was five.” STORYYYY. What you are breaking free from is the story of shame. Overeating is just a symptom of your insatiable hunger to spread your wings and fly like an eagle.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">As you are brushing your feathers, ready to fly, let’s be clear, cravings and stress-eating is not just in your head.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Key #2 – It’s in your gut too. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And it’s called Candida.

You do NOT have a willpower problem.  You have an overgrowth of yeast bacteria in your colon.  These are living microorganisms that eat sugar to reproduce.  The more sugar (bread, pasta, alcohol, cookies) you eat, the bigger the colonies of yeast grow, the more sugar they demand to sustain themselves.  It’s a vicious cycle.  How to break free?  <em>Cleanse the yeast</em> and restore the good bacterial in your gut.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Holiday season is coming.  But don’t worry, even if you slip a lot you can still be clean, lean and radiant.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Better than Soda</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">1 glass purified water</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">1 tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">1 pinch Stevia</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Mix together and enjoy first thing in the morning.  The apple cider vinegar is a natural pro-biotic; it supplies good bacteria for better digestion and weight loss.</p>

<p style="text-align: center;">½ cup raw Sauerkraut</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Halve the avocado, take the pit out, and fill the opening from the pit with Sauerkraut. You’ll be delighted with the salty creamy texture.  Raw cultured foods convert sugar into useful acids and aid digestion.</p>

<p>Get started with this mouthwatering smoothy. It will boost your energy, mood and sexiness big time.</p>
<p>1 cup fresh dandelion greens<a href="http://www.iamfullyalive.com/heal-your-liver-video/green-smoothie/" rel="attachment wp-att-1450"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1450" title="green smoothie" src="http://www.iamfullyalive.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/green-smoothie.jpg" alt="green smoothie" /></a> (Whole Foods has it)<br />
1 cups parsley<br />
3 cups or more water<br />
4 pears, diced</p>
<p><em><em>Blend in a <a href="http://www.iamfullyalive.com/?p=3731" target="_blank">high power blender</a>. Yields 1 quart. Drink it through out the day.</em></em></p>
<p><em><em></em><br />
</em> <span style="background: white none repeat scroll 0% 0%; color: black;">Blend well all the ingredients in the blender. Drink slowly and enjoy! Drink this smoothie every morning for a week or two for effective liver cleansing.</span></p>

Here are the three golden rules to make your new practice of conscious food combining a total success.<span id="more-72"></span></p>
<p><strong>Three Rules:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Eat      these foods alone:  melons, fruits,      liquids<br />
Here is a fruit chant for you &#8211;  &#8220;Eat them alone or leave them alone&#8221;</li>
<li>Do NOT      combine protein and starches.                                                                                                                               Hydrochloric acid is necessary to digest protein.  Starch neutralized the acid and the protein does not digest properly.</li>
<li>Do NOT      eat lighter foods such as liquids and fruit WITH or AFTER consuming heavier foods such as nuts, seeds, proteins, starches and heavy veggies.</li>
</ol>
<p>Cheers to fantastic digestion!</p>

<p>Do you ever experience incidents of gas, bloating, low energy or weight gain?  And if so, do you simply take Tums, drink a Red Bull, or harness yourself to a treadmill only to have your symptoms reappear in the future?   What if I told you that  the root of your discomfort may lie in the combining of incompatible foods in one meal.<span id="more-19"></span></p>
<p>Recently I was assisting my friend,  <a title="Raw Food Chef" href="http://www.purejoyplanet.com/" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.purejoyplanet.com/?referer=');">Elaina Love</a> , a master raw food chef during her gourmet raw food preparation class at <a title="Raw Food Restaurant" href="http://www.cafesoulstice.com/Pg/Classes2.htm" target="_blank" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.cafesoulstice.com/Pg/Classes2.htm?referer=');">Cafe Soulstice</a> San Mateo, CA.   &#8220;Cleansing and Detoxing with Raw Foods&#8221; was the theme.  There were about thirty people in the class, all excited to learn how to make energy soup, <em>green power smoothies</em>, and low-glycemic desserts.  But the fist thing Elaina spoke about was the importance of food combining.</p>
<p>What is food combining?</p>
<p>Food combining is the combination of foods we put down the digestive track in one sitting.  Lets imagine a decorative glass bottle filled in layers with different-colored sand. After eating a meal our stomach may look similar to such a sand bottle.  The only difference is that the food does not stay permanently in the stomach like the sand in the bottle.  The food transits out.  And it is the transient time for each food group that is of interest to us in the subject of food combining.</p>
<p>First lets identify the different food groups:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Animal proteins:</strong> flesh foods, dairy, eggs<br />
<strong>Dense oily proteins:</strong> seeds, avocados, nuts and  oils</li>
<li><strong>Starches:</strong> corn, artichokes, carrots, potato family, all grains and beans</li>
<li><strong>Low starches:</strong> all green leafy veggies, sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, peppers</li>
<li><strong>Fruits</strong></li>
<li><strong>Melons</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>Now lets see how long it takes for each food group to leave the stomach:</p>
<ul>
<li>Water:  5-10 min.</li>
<li>Juice:  15-20 min.</li>
<li>Fruit and melons:  20-45 min.</li>
<li>Sprouts:  1 hour</li>
<li>Most vegetable:  1-2 hours</li>
<li>Grains and beans:  1-2 hours</li>
<li>Protein:  3-4 hours</li>
<li>Animal flesh food: 6-8 hours</li>
</ul>
<p>Have you noticed how fruit leaves the stomach in less then an hour, while the dense oily proteins like seeds and nuts stay in the stomach for 3-4 hours. So if we first eat nuts and then on the top of it put fruit (or eat fruits and nuts together), the fruit is going to be ready to get out of the stomach in no time, but will have nowhere to go because there is something still being digested below it. So the fruit will just sit on the top and ferment, creating incidents of gas, bloating, heartburn, low energy and weight gain.</p>
<p>Fear not my friends, Tums and the gang maybe going out of business, but there is a new sheriff in town- proper food combining.  Sure, go head and follow a few rules, after all, what do you have to lose except constipation.</p>
