Stress, Breathing , More Energy Digestion and Pumpkins!

We start off with a joke, then relieve stress give you more energy and better digestion. Not quite a summer's vacation, but quite a trip never the less.

---------------------
On vacation with her family in Montana, a mother drove her van
past a church in a small town and pointing to it, told the
children that it was St. Francis' Church.

"It must be a franchise," her eight-year-old son said. "We've got
one of those in our town, too."

Woo Nellie! Shazam – that was an impressive joke – actually it doesn’t matter if a joke is good or bad if you have fun with it. It is recommended for your health sake that you laugh 20 – 50 times a day. This will relieve stress and give you more energy.

RELIEVING STRESS -- Breathe slowly and deeply. Three or four deep breaths provide the most immediate feeling of calmness anywhere, anytime.

A couple of outstanding products for dealing with Stress are Himalayan Goji Juice and also Russian Gold.

Speaking of energy – here are some tips to increase your energy!

FIRST YOU MUST LEARN TO BREATHE PROPERLY. This may sound stupid but many people don't breath properly. Take this test - take a deep breath in. Notice if your stomach goes in or out when you inhale. Your stomach should go out when you inhale and in when you exhale. If you are not breathing in the correct fashion than you need to correct this. When you are not breathing properly you can reduce the amount of oxygen you take in by up to one/third.

TIP: GENERALLY THE MORE YOU SIT UP OR STAND UP STRAIGHT THAN THE MORE APT YOU ARE TO BREATH CORRECTLY. Now you know why your parents always told you to sit up straight. When you stand hunched over you are physically restricting the amount of oxygen you can take in.

The second largest use of energy in your body is digestion. Have you ever noticed how after you have eaten a big meal you generally feel very tired and often take a nap? Have you wondered why? This is because the brain is diverting most of your oxygen to the digestive organs. When this happens less oxygen is getting to the brain, you get tired, the brain shuts itself down, and you fall asleep.

Have you ever wondered why you can wake up in the morning after a "good" nights sleep and still feel tired? This is generally a result of the following. Our diets for the most part are terrible, we eat too much processed, sugary and fatty foods.

A couple excellent products to aid digestion are Himalayan Goji Juice and DigestiMax.

In our next issue we’ll have some more tips on energy and what foods to eat and avoid.
