Eat Less, Exercise More, The Weight Loss Myth Exposed:
by Narelle Stegehuis ND ANPA.
Despite your best efforts, you are gaining weight -
especially around our waist and hips - dieting is just
not working. So why is this happening? The answer lies
in the intricate four links between hormonal balance
and body fat.
First link - is between insulin metabolism
and body fat. When you are insulin resistant your
body converts calories into fat at a faster rate.
Second link is between stress and body fat.
The body interprets prolonged stress as a famine, and
thinks it should store every spare calorie as fat.
Third link is estrogen imbalance. When
in excess, estrogen promotes the growth of estrogen
sensitive tissues, leading to an increase in fat tissue.
Fourth link is the cravings created by high-carb
diets. Because your body can't readily maintain
optimal blood sugar and serotonin levels, you are compelled
to have snacks and caffeine to make yourself feel better.
Does this sound like you? Need Help?

Who'd
have thought that going green could be so pleasurable:
with SYLK Natural Lubricant!
Who'd
have thought that going 'green' could be so pleasurable?
There are now many excellent eco and ethical products
on the market and Sylk Natural Personal Lubricant, in
the most personal of categories, is one of them.
Sylk is made from the ultra-slippery fluid from inside
the beautiful Kiwifruit vine in a gentle formulation
designed to keep you healthy, increase sensitivity and
enhance pleasure.
Sylk is further unique in that it doesn't contain petrochemicals
like propylene Glycol and paraben preservatives, like
so many other lubricants. No hormones, sugars, flavours,
colours or other harsh chemical ingredients which could
irritate or cause allergies. (And by the way, how clever
is the Kiwi fruit vine - with health-giving fruit from
one end and a hot little product to enhance pleasure
from the other!)
Best thing is, Sylk has an exciting sexy feel that partners
also love and it's ideal with condoms. In regard to
the great feel of Sylk, many men have contacted the
company to comment and probably one of the most succinct
is the testimonial by Paul in Sydney that says:
"Sylk is a brilliant lubricant. All natural plus it
feels just like a woman, which is probably why my wife
loves it too".
If you'd like to 'try before you buy', simply log onto
www.sylk.com.au
and Geneva Marketing, the manufacturer and distributor,
will post you a sample.
The company works closely with health professionals
because of Sylk's benefit to women and especially recovering
cancer patients. As well, because they believe in putting
back into the community, Geneva Marketing donate - and
have been doing so for over 5 years - 5 cents from the
sale of every pack to Cancer Information and Support
Services, a very worthy division of the Cancer Council.
So when you buy this natural pleasure enhancer, you
can feel extra good about doing your bit for others.

This Little Known Philosophy Holds the Key to Younger
Skin :with Sunriders Organic Beauty and Skin Care!
What
exactly is the philosophy of regeneration?
The ancient Chinese were first to recognise that we
literally are what we put into our bodies, and therefore
we have the ability to wind back the clock and 'regenerate'
them. Early Chinese doctors were paid to keep their
patients well using special combinations of plants and
herbs, and if they became ill, payment ceased until
they got their patients well again...at their own expense!
These early physicians believed that instead of taking
medicine to help cure a health problem, people should
use the proper herbs to prevent the body from ever getting
sick, to stop the effects of ageing and to literally
'regenerate' organs, hair and skin.
The philosophy of regeneration says that:
1. The body has the ability to balance itself with proper
nutrition
2. The body is designed to obtain its nutrition from
whole foods
3. Each person must be willing to accept responsibility
for their own health
'Regeneration' is the principle behind all of Sunrider's
organic beauty and skin care products; products which
help cells to regenerate or become stronger and stronger
rather than degenerating and becoming weaker and weaker.
Did you know that every year 89% of our body is new?!
The question is - will your body be stronger or weaker
just one year from now?
That depends on what kind of products you use on your
skin! Regeneration is truly the only way to successfully
overcome ageing and weaknesses naturally, thereby gaining
a new level of health and vitality never thought possible.

We
are Literally Immersed in an Ocean of Energy:Check out
Pranic Healing!
We
are literally immersed in an ocean of energy; We are
like ‘living batteries’ says Master Choa Kok Sui, founder
& author of Pranic Healing. There is an abundant supply
of energy (or prana) available for everyone. By using
Pranic Healing you recharge your battery (body) & allowing
you to maintain your vitality & robustness. Pranic Healing
enables you to see & understand the flow of energy &
automatically increase your energy level. How does it
matter if you are energetically vital & robust or depleted
& tired? The answer has several elements:
(1) “What you put out, you get back”. Your energy vibration
level is a magnet to all energies that are vibrating
at the same frequency. This is the Law of Karma & the
Law of Attraction in operation. You can change & rebuild
yourself within minutes - it is easy and simple & it
does take practice. :
(2) The physical body requires fuel (energy / prana)
to stay healthy & function normally. Not enough fuel
in the system causes the body to malfunction leading
to disease & problems. The Pranic Healing remedy –recharge
yourself & the body will rebalance & heal itself. :
In a Pranic Healing session, the practitioner, literally
feels & removes the depleted, diseased, energy & replaces
it with fresh prana, the effects are often immediate.
To sustain change you may need 2-6 sessions. It is simple
& there is no physical touch required. :
Come & experience Pranic Healing. Brush up the aura
& chakras for the New Year, upgrade the energy body.
I look forward to our session & sharing more of Master
Choa Kok Sui’s work of Pranic Healing. :
