Water: Do you realise what you are drinking?
Water. Do you realise what you are drinking? According
to Dr. Schumacher, President of the Canadian Medical
Association, "80 per cent of illnesses are water-related"
. We all know water plays a vital role in our wellbeing
but have you ever stopped to consider the quality of
your drinking water?
Good quality water is one that is free of impurities,
non-acidic (alkaline) and high in minerals our body
needs. But a simple test will show that most natural
spring water, tap water and even filtered water are
acidic and low in mineral content!
Acidity, alkalinity or neutrality of water is measured
by a pH reading on a scale of 0 to 14. Water with a
pH below 7 is acidic, over 7 represents alkalinity while
7 is neutral. Drinking acidic water adds acidic waste
to your body, but alkaline waters help neutralise acid.
Your parents always use to scream "Eat your vegetables!!"
(may be they still do!) The reason being, not only do
you take in a lot of minerals and vitamins from vegetables
and fruits, most are alkaline forming foods. Alkaline
waters work on this same principle - it helps neutralise
acid in your body.
Sang Whang, author of "Reverse Aging" and a pioneer
in the field of alkalinity/acidity studies states that
it is the accumulation of non-disposed acidic wastes
that causes aging . If the cause of aging is the accumulation
of acid, then to reverse aging must be to eliminate
acid!
If you are drinking bottled water, check the Typical
Analysis on the bottle or ask the company what the pH
level and find out what you are really drinking. Is
it acidic or alkaline?
Alkalife is a naturally occurring pristine alkaline
water that is high in alkaline minerals which help neutralise
acid in your body. To find out how you can improve your
wellbeing visit www.alkalife.net.au

Train for Free: with a Diabetes Preferred Tariner!
John Schuh had reached the point where enough was enough.
At fifty, with a busy corporate job and a stressful
lifestyle, he was morbidly obese, unhappy, listless
and a strong candidate for type 2 diabetes. Like a light
bulb turning on in his head one day, John realised that
to continue in this path would eventuate in sickness
and probably an early grave. The realisation of these
drastic consequences inspired him to act in a likewise
drastic manner.
Refocussing the energy he had previously applied to
his career, he embarked on a fitness regime and enrolled
in a nationwide fat loss/slimmers competition to give
himself a structured goal, realising in doing so that
there is very little chance of hitting a target if you
are not aiming at something in the first place.
It took John 12 weeks to completely transform his body
and as a consequence, his life - in the process beating
over 50,000 competitors, (most of whom were about half
his age) to become the most improved "Fatblaster" challenger
of 2005. The $70,000 worth of prizes he picked up, although
appreciated, rated a far second behind the energy, vitality
and new lease on life he had gained.
John is now a personal trainer, and delivers to his
clients the same sense of possibility and personal power
that allowed him to transform his own life. Needless
to say, the risk of diabetes is now a distant memory
for John.
Likewise Stacey Lee, a 36 year old mother of two from
Beenleigh, reached a point of no return in her life
when she couldn't fit into her size 22 shorts anymore.
Giving up a life of binge eating, fuelled by depression
and low self esteem, she took up a very graduated exercise
routine, starting with an exhausting 10 minute walk
up the road and back every day, and coupled this with
a fresh approach to food. Eating to live became her
motto, rather than living to eat as it had been previously.
In 14 months Stacey dropped 45 kilos and is today a
vivacious, good looking "yummy mummy" who has reinvented
her career and her life as a personal trainer. Stacey's
enthusiasm is infectious as is evident when she speaks
about her work - "No one ever wandered to the top
of a mountain! It's damn hard work to get there, but
if you could just jump into my body and feel what I
feel everyday - the energy, confidence, the happiness
- you won't want to let that feeling go!"
Depression? Low self esteem? Not a big part of Stacey's
life anymore!
With special education and training in diabetes and
its complications and benefits with relation to exercise,
and a formalized system for helping their clients change
their habits into positive ones forever - these guys
are the first of a new breed of fitness professionals
called "Diabetes Preferred Trainers".
Diabetes Australia -Queensland has instigated this program
in response to the rapidly growth of diabetes in our
community, coupled with research that now proves beyond
doubt that regular exercise is one of the most important
factors in preventing and/or successfully managing diabetes.
The difficult thing for most people who are at risk
of, or have recently contracted the disease, is that
the local gym is often about the least comfortable place
in the world for them to go! What's more, fitness instructors
have often been under-educated and misinformed about
diabetes and how it affects their clients in the gym,
which further erodes the client's confidence in feeling
understood and safe when commencing an exercise program.
DAQ's intent with the Diabetes Preferred Trainer program
has been to change all that - by training fitness professionals
in diabetes care and exercise guidelines, and allowing
its members to locate and book a personal trainer or
fitness class via the non-confronting medium of www.trainerlocator.org
, the organization has striven to remove many of the
barriers that had previously prevented people with (or
at risk of) diabetes from engaging in a successful exercise
regime.
As a special offer to Naturally Happy readers, you
are invited to attend a free introductory session with
a Diabetes Preferred Trainer to help get your personal
exercise program started. With a Diabetes Preferred
Trainer on your side, there has never been a better
time to get started exercising than now! For many of
us, just like John and Stacey- it has come to the time
where enough is enough, and its time to make a start!

Trainer, click on www.trainerlocator.org

It’s About The little Things by Gina
Cachao
Most of us would never throw litter in the streets or
shut a door in someone’s face, yet that is exactly what
we do when we fail to protect the environment. When
as individuals and as a society we fail to take simple
measures to reduce our environmental impact, we are
littering the streets of the next generation. It is
our children that will suffer the greatest consequences
of our often wasteful lifestyles. How can we make a
change for the better? How can we now affect the future

There
were these two cows, chatting over the fence between
their fields. The first cow said, "I tell you, this
mad-cow-disease is really pretty scary. They say it
is spreading fast; I heard it hit some cows down on
the Johnson Farm." The other cow replies, "I ain't worried,
it don't affect us ducks."
