Rules to Live By, Why Not?

Image
I got this from my email a long, long time ago back while I was still traversing the corporate jungle. Most of the time it worked for me but there other instances, I just didn't get it. Still, in all I was glad someone took the time to send it to me. And to that someone, CHEERS! Rules for Life Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it! Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself. Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both. Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss. Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity. Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine a

Ibanag quotes "How to have a fit and sexy body"

Image
I am taking the liberty to reprint here portions of an article written by Mitch Felipe of the Lifestyle Section of The Inquirer. The reason? I fully subscribe to the health and wellness ideas she spoused and would like to share it with you my dear friends. So here goes: "People especially women think that to be sexy, one must be thin. Regardless of effects, most people will do whatever it takes to attain what they perceive as society's idea of a desirable and acceptable body. The obsession with thinness is becoming quite extreme with unhealthy psychological and physical consequences. Some strategies people use to achieve a thin body include extreme dieting, overexercising, use of pills, unnecessary surgeries and intentional stress. But what does it really take to be fit and sexy? What should be done to reach that goal? 1. Develop the right motivation If you want to have your ideal body, you should have the right motivation first to be able to maintain your weight and free

Wouldn't it be nice if we're all like virgins?

How well and healthy could you get with Virgin wealth on your side? Does 'well' swell from the word wealth? I was watching him tonight on the Ellen Degeneres show. According to this 'rebel billionaire'', his company's flights to space are about to commence very soon. He is taking along his children, parents and a couple of people who's willing to shell out US$200,000 for the flight. How nice. He says, its going to be the ride of a lifetime; will take approximately three hours with most of it spent floating in space (inside the spaceship, I guess?). Great! The man is in the following business lines, among others: 1. airlines 2. music record production 3.credit cards 4. pension plans 5. insurance 6. broadband 7. media 8. digital TV 9. mobile phones 10.books 11. cosmetics and jewelries 12. wine and beverages 13.renewable energy 14. charities 15.save the earth 16. stem cell research 17. and many others On the same show he says that travel from LA to Australi

The Heat is On and this is Bad for the Food we take

"The enzymes in raw foods are destroyed by heat Most raw food, like our bodies, is very perishable. When raw foods are exposed to temperatures above 118 degrees, they start to rapidly break down, just as our bodies would if we had a fever that high. One of the constituents of foods which can break down are enzymes. Enzymes help us digest our food. Enzymes are proteins though, and they have a very specific 3-dimensional structure in space. Once they are heated much above 118 degrees, this structure can change. Once enzymes are exposed to heat, they are no longer able to provide the function for which they were designed. Cooked foods contribute to chronic illness, because their enzyme content is damaged and thus requires us to make our own enzymes to process the food. The digestion of cooked food uses valuable metabolic enzymes in order to help digest your food. Dige

Detoxify by sweating

"Our methods of eliminating toxins in the body are few. We are limited to the feces, the urine, perspiration and respiration. When the liver, kidneys and lungs have been damaged by chronic exposure to environmental toxins our ability to rid our bodies of toxins becomes severely limited. Through various methods we can cleanse the liver and kidneys, which will help address future toxins, but we are still left with the fat-stored (lipophilic) toxins and heavy metals stored in connective tissue and the brain. Today, studies show that most of us have between 400 and 800 chemical residues stored in the fat cells of our bodies. These chemicals and heavy metals make up the "total toxic burden." When our bodies exceed the limit that we can excrete, we begin to store these toxins. This bio-accumulation seriously compromises our physiological and psychological health and leads to chronic disease. Perspiration is recognized by health practitioners worldwide as perhaps the most eff

British doctor Dr Andrew Steptoe from the University College London reveals in his study that people who are on upbeat moods had lower levels of the stress hormone called cortisol . Cortisol contributes to the development of blood pressure in elevated levels. It can also cause lower immune function, and abdominal obesity. In his study which was published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, states that positive emotions helped lessen chronic inflammation in the body (caused by 2 proteins called C reactive and interleukin). It is widely believed that on and off body system inflammation contribute in the long term to heart disease or cancer among others. "Researchers have long noted that happier people tend to be in better health than those who are persistently stressed, hostile or pessimistic." "The current findings according to Dr Steptoe is that positive emotions are associated with biological responses that" promote good health. Dr. Steptoe's recommend
