This is the way to eat: like our barbarian ancestors ate! Lean meats, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruits, and whole grains,( in moderation). The meats, fish, eggs, vegetables and fruits are to be eaten in unlimited quantities- let your appetite be your guide! Also, what would a good barbarian do in the evening? Why, quaff beer and ale, of course!! I honestly believe that, coupled with a good exercise program, such as is espoused elsewhere in this blog, the above diet will give you the best health you can acquire! It's not really that complicated to eat properly: Just eliminate any "engineered" foods; those things that have been invented, or "engineered" within the past 100 years or so- white flour, sugar, corn sugar, soda pop, candy, (except for limited amounts of dark chocolate!), potato chips and their ilk... you get the idea! Actually, if you think about it, all of this is really just common sense. (If you ignore the press, "diet experts", and the lik

Do you need a quick glow to your skin and all over healthier look? Bend over at the waist, as far as you can possibly go, and hold to the count of thirty. For cellulite, scrub the skin with a bristle brush or loofah. Brush in slow sweeps, always toward the heart. There are gloves and mitts available to do this, but they're not necessary. Try to do this at least five minutes every day. Also for cellulite - Copy the expensive herbal wraps offered by top spas. Mix a cup of corn oil with 1/2 cup of grapefruit juice and 2 teaspoons dried thyme. Massage into hip, thigh, and buttock areas. Cover with plastic wrap to lock in body heat. For extra results lay a heating pad over each area for five minutes. Right from the can, Crisco is a big secret among beautiful women. Use it to remove makeup and as a highly effective moisturizer. Hospitals even use it to treat psoriasis and eczema. Raw potato slices contain potassium to take away dark circles under the eye. To lighten age spots and s

To build muscle & lose fat , you need a variety of proteins, veggies, fruits, carbs, and healthy fats. Eating protein helps building & maintaining muscle. But it also helps fat loss: protein has a higher thermic effect than carbs/fats. Eating fats also helps fat loss: your body holds fat if you don’t eat fats. Fruits & veggies contain vitamins & minerals, necessary for recovery from your workouts. And carbs fuel your muscles so you feel full of energy at the gym. Lots of you struggle to get these foods. Sometimes because you’re too busy or sometimes because you just lack information. This list will help you — 20 super foods you need to build muscle & lose fat. 1. Whole Eggs. Cheap & rich source of protein: 7g/egg. The yolk contains most nutrients: half the protein, vitamins A/D/E and cholesterol to naturally increase your testosterone levels. 2. Fish Oil. Reduces inflammation (joints/skin), lowers body fat and increases testosterone levels. You need 9000m

Unbelievable transformation! It's all about determination.

Maxick I experimented for over a year, using static contraction training exclusively. This is training with the heaviest weights you can manage, over only the strongest range of your motion (the last inch or two of , say, a bench press.) I would load the bar in my power rack, and squat it, press it, curl it, whatever, once per week! That was it- you need to let your "muscles rebuild"! says Pete Sisco, the expounder of the static contraction training principle... I did indeed get so I could push, and support statically some very massive poundages. I think I gained the most, though, from pressing the bar into the pins of the rack, isometrically, for some seconds before letting up. I also gained muscle mass, and fat. Most of the mass you'll gain using this method will be in your thighs, butt, chest and, unfortunately, your belly. If you've ever seen Pete Sisco, you can envision what this training will do for you... think old Russian olympic lifter... Before that, I

This is really smart: Use your overgrown, almost-to-be-wasted produce in your vitamix smoothies; and future-to-be smoothies! (Via the future, in your freezer) My own compost pile is much simpler: Just a pile of refuse. It gradually becomes amazing stuff, the best thing for your garden you can imagine!! Jay

I am going to make this soup! I love my vitamix, and use it daily!

Do you remember how your mom once said “an apple a day keeps the doctor away?” If so, good Well, it is true, and apples do more than just that they help fight high cholesterol. The following article is from a good friend of mine, Adrian, who runs a blog called “Elements 4 Health”, and I hope you enjoy it. “The apple features prominently in history and culture, with the biblical story of the temptation of Adam and Eve perhaps being the most popular. Another classic tale in which the innocent apple plays an important part is Sleeping Beauty. In Norse mythology, apples are symbolic of eternal youth, and they feature in Swiss folklore on top of the head William Tell’s son. And then there is the factual legend of Johnny Appleseed, an American pioneer, who walked around barefoot planting apple seeds over an area of 100,000 square miles. The health benefits of apples include reduced risk of prostate cancer and breast cancer, the ability to lower cholesterol and to promote healthy weight l

1. Give tired skin a boost by having a honey facial. Apply honey to clean skin, leave on for between 30 minutes and one hour then rinse off with clean water. It not only moisturises it also tightens pores. Manuka honey works best if you have blemishes as it contains natural anti- bacterial agents but any honey will do to give you fresher younger looking skin 2. For instantly soft hands. Make a mixture of salt and olive oil. (Add the olive oil to the salt rather than the other way round). Gently rub the mixture into your hands and rinse off with warm water afterwards. The salt gently removes dead skin and the olive oil adds moisture making your hands feel wonderfully soft. The oil is also excellent for preventing your cuticles from drying out, a problem which can lead to hangnails. 3. To remove stains from teeth. Take one teaspoon of lemon juice and one teaspoon of salt, mix together to make a paste. Using a toothbrush gently use it on discolored teeth to make them whiter and brighte
