Networking Lifestyle

I am blessed to be required to network as part of my business. So many people have a set circle of people they interact with. It might be a few co workers during the day, their immediate family after work and extended family and a few friends on the weekend that comprise their entire network. There is nothing wrong with that list of contacts, just limited in that there is a huge potential of people to meet that are amazing. Interesting people are everywhere and many have great stories to share and amazing lifestyles to observe. I am thankful that my business encourages me to explore new relationships with new people who have new ideas. All this keeps me interesting because I learn so many things in an average day after talking to people. All this keeps me young and vibrant and growing. Engage in a new conversation. Be present in the moment, open to learn something from someone new. They may be your next best friend, a new business associate or customer. Enjoy each day for the gift that it is.

Foods Can Prevent Cancer

A Ted.com video featuring scientific proof that whole food (as opposed to processed) can keep your body safe from most cancer. Cancer develops into disease when blood supplies to common microscopic cancers encourage growth. Most microscopic cancers do not receive enough blood supply to develop. When these areas do receive blood, they are stimulated and something doesn't turn off that supply. When certain foods are part of your diet and their digested compounds are in your bloodstream, overactive blood supply does not promote cancer growth. The term to research is angiogenisis and the person to google is William Li. Check out Ted.com if other searches do not satisfy your curiosity.

Just Alive? Vitality possible.

The foodie meet -up covered alot of topics today but the strongest feeling were directed towards the American diet and how sick, and fat, it is making those who partake of the fast and frozen food market. We have all been there: too busy to cook because we are active and have active children who require our driving skills. Too busy to cook because we can always find something else to do. Too busy to cook because we don't know how to cook and don't want to fail.
Who needs to cook anyway? The store shelves are filled with "safe" and "healthy" food that will fill our bellies so why bother making things from the raw ingredients?

The answer to why fresh and not processed is life. But not just life, vitality while alive. Too many of us know someone dear to us who is not dying today but not really living well either. That someone might even be ourselves. We are not experiencing vital health but are not on our death bed either. We are doing just "fine". Fine by whose standard? Are you over 40 and expect to have all those "middle age" aches and pain?s. Are you over 60 and expect to have some cancer because statistics tell us someone will get it? Have you ever considered that the American foodstyle of soda pop, processed and fast food could be slowly killing you even if it is affordable and downright cheap? These foodstyle choices are all highly acidic in nature. Your body is not in a "happy place" while acid and seeks to neutralize the internal chemistry by any means possible. If you feed it alkaline food and water, your body can do its job, keeping you alive and even vital. Disease will flourish in acid environments.
What is your chemistry doing today? How are you feeding your "engine"? Are you JUST fine?
