Weight Training For The Ageing: Are you Doing All You
Can?
ARE
YOU DOING ALL YOU CAN TO AVOID THE FRAILTY OF OLD AGE?
Resistance training has a host of positive effects for
the ageing individual. The numerous studies conducted
to evaluate the effects of weight training in the ageing
have shown weight training to be extremely beneficial
to individuals well into their 90's.
Maximum muscle size and strength generally occurs between
the ages of 20 and 30. Thereafter, there is a progressive
decline in muscular size and as a result, strength.
Weight training is an effective tool for preventing
and recovering some of these muscular losses associated
with ageing. Many determined older individuals have
initiated a resistive weight training regimen later
in life and were able to surpass the muscular size and
strength they possessed in their youth.
Other benefits associated with weight training include:
" Increased metabolic rate
" Increased energy
" Increased flexibility
" Increased bone density
" Increased strength of connective tissue
" Better control of symptoms of Diabetes, Arthritis,
Osteoporosis, back pain and even depression
" Prevents falls due to restoration of balance
" Improve posture stability
" Increased range of motion
Do you want both quality and quantity?

program is an ideal way to keep the ageing process at

Can't
Concentrate? Blame the Sandwich!: by Bojan Schiantez,

Can't Concentrate? Blame the Sandwich! Bojan Schianetz,
N.D.
If breakfast and lunch are so good for you, why do they
often leave you feeling tired and mentally foggy? Even
though you've avoided 'empty' foods like sugary cereals
and croissants?
It could be food allergies. They are more common than
you might think. They are also notoriously difficult
to pick up because in many cases, you don't get a reaction
for hours, even days after eating the culprit food.
And when the reaction does occur, it can be far from
your stomach, so it's easy to miss the connection between
what you ate yesterday, and your memory lapses today.
In fact, food allergies can show up as all sorts of
symptoms and signs, including:
Digestive problems - caused by damage to the
gut lining or chemical imbalances due to allergic reactions.
This can lead to bloating, stomach cramps and inflammation,
Irritable Bowel Syndrome, autoimmune and immune deficiency
diseases, and many other problems.
Respiratory problems -caused to excess mucous
production due to allergy-induced inflammation. Little
children are often affected in this way, as their small
upper airways are easily blocked.
Middle ear infections - caused by excess mucous
and inflammation due to allergies. One study found that
most children with otitis showed significant improvement
when milk, wheat, egg white, peanuts, and soy were eliminated
from their diet.
Psychological or emotional problems - caused
by allergy-related inflammation in the nervous system
and nutrient deficiencies, a common effect of allergies.
Food allergies have been linked psychological and behavior
disorders such as autism and hyperactivity in children,
anxiety, depression, inability to concentrate, mood
swings, and mental 'fogginess'.
Food addictions and cravings - caused by the
release of 'happy' chemicals to counteract the effects
of an allergic reaction. One kind of chemical released
during an allergies reaction is opioids, which make
you feel good. You might then crave more of that food
to get the happy high, even though the food is damaging
your body at the same time. If you are addicted to a
food, you're probably allergic to it.

Give Peas A Chance!:The Humble Pea Takes On The Giants
and Wins!!
The
humble pea has taken on the protein giants - whey and
soy - and won!
Protein is essential for the building and repair of
all your cells, muscle, tissue, skin and the blood.
It's also essential for all body maintenance, digestion,
movement, immune function, energy production and detoxification
(amongst many other functions)
What's so great about 'PhytoProtein Pea Protein Isolate'?
1) The highest protein yield
For the first time you have a complete protein available
from a single legume, which has the plant world's highest
content of essential amino acids. As a bio-available
protein, 'PhytoProtein' beats Soy, Carob and Whey Protein
Concentrate in both protein content (at 88%) and digestibility
(at 98%).
2) The lowest Carbohydrate level
It only has a 0.1% carbohydrate level. Even better for
dieters, it also has a high satiety level (which gives
you that full, satisfied, satiated feeling after a meal).
It's also the only protein powder that's alkaline, allowing
for greater detoxification and for athletes, delaying
the impact of lactic acid build up in muscle contraction
which allows a longer period of exertion.
3) Allergy free!
'PhytoProtein' is also free of all allergens such as
gluten, soy, lactose, dairy. The original has no colourings,
flavourings or sweeteners and has a mild, bland flavour.
Phyto Protein is the perfect protein source not only
for vegans and vegetarians, but anybody looking to improve
the quality of protein in their diets.
For anyone after a fantastic taste though, we now have
'PhytoProtein' in a USDA Certified Organic Creamy Vanilla
flavour. A perfect addition for smoothies and a great
companion to its sister product 'Vital Greens'. The
two combined make a perfect 'liquid lunch' (or breakfast!)
'PHYTOPROTEIN' NOW CERTIFIED BY KOSHER AUSTRALIA
After an inspection of our packing facilities in Sydney,
Kosher Australia has added it's local Kosher certification
to 'PhytoProtein'. This is also recognised by most Muslims
as Halal. We will have formal Halal certification within
the next few months.
NEW USDA CERTIFIED ORGANIC CREAMY VANILLA FLAVOUR
FOR 'PHYTOPROTEIN' - puts the yum into protein powder!
This new certified Organic flavour has really lifted
the taste of 'PhytoProtein' further enhancing the texture
and makes truly delicious, creamy smoothies.

NLP What is it? How can it Help Me?: by Sue Lester B.A
Dip Teach. Master Practitioner NLP& Hypnosis!
Neuro Linguistic Programming is a set of specific techniques
which align the conscious and unconscious mind and body.
NLP will enable you to resolve health, fertility, relationship,
personal, financial or career issues, so you can move
forward and create the life you want. You learn to control
how you perceive and therefore react to your world.
You can quickly and easily un-learn the unhelpful lessons
from the past, and clear any backlog of negative emotions
such as anger, fear and guilt.
NLP was developed in the 1960's - 1970's by computer
scientist Richard Bandler and linguist John Grinder
from their studies of highly successful therapists,
Virginia Satir (Family therapist), Fritz Perls (Gestalt
therapist) and Milton Erickson (the Father of modern
Hypnotherapy). These three therapists were transforming
their clients' ways of thinking, feeling and behaving
in seemingly miraculous ways.
Bandler and Grinder aimed to discover exactly what occurred
in the minds and bodies of clients at the moment change
occurred. The resulting techniques of NLP enable people
to effectively gain control of their minds and therefore
their behavioural results in a matter of hours rather
than years.
How can it help me? What problems can be treated?
Dis-ease of the mind can cause disease of the body,
so a wide variety of health issues can be worked on
as part of a holistic mind-body-spirit approach. Releasing
backlogs of negative emotions such as anger, sadness,
fear and guilt is part of this. Perfect for clearing
Road Rage, and that inexplicable sense of emotional
heaviness. Most clients report feeling 'lighter' and
say people notice the difference in their face and physiology.
Your attitudes to exercise and food groups can be adjusted
so healthy lifestyle choices become automatic!
NLP is fast and effective for Non-smoker Conversion,
eliminating Phobias and most importantly, changing negative
and self-limiting habits, attitudes and beliefs.
Using NLP could help women through, or perhaps even
avoid, the anguish of possible infertility. Most importantly,
the tools and techniques of NLP can help women free
themselves to enjoy their lives, whether that includes
actually giving birth, or finding other ways to be creative
and nurturing in their lives.
During pregnancy when fears and unresolved issues arise,
NLP is invaluable for clearing your way to a positive
birthing experience. Because trauma or negative emotions
do not need to be re-lived to be released forever, an
NLP session is generally a calming and empowering experience.
Issues around not bonding with your unborn child, fears
about the birth and trauma from previous birthing experiences,
low self-esteem or confidence or a general sense of
being overwhelmed can all be resolved quickly. Re-aligning
Values and recognizing preferred strategies for giving
and receiving love can ease marital conflict and re-establish
loving relationships.
NLP can be used with children, especially for teenagers.
Some processes don't even require them to disclose the
actual problem! For younger children, particularly in
the Imprint Period of 0-7 years, the most powerful results
come when the practitioner works with the parents, helping
them make the changes they want to see.

GREAT
TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1)
No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats
2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush
your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They
always catch the second person.
4)
Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.
5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
)
Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.
7)
Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.
8)
You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.
9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.
10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's
lap.
Quote
of the week!
Don't Quit When things go wrong, as
they sometimes will, When the road you're trudging seems
all uphill, When funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh, When care
is pressing you down a bit, Rest if you must, but don't
you quit.
Life is queer with its twists and turns, As every one
of us sometimes learns, And many a failure turns about,
When he might have won if he'd stuck it out. Don't give
up, though the pace seems slow - You may succeed with
another blow.
Often the goal is nearer than It seems to a faint and
faltering man; Often the struggler has given up When
he might have captured the victor's cup, And he learned
too late, when the night slipped down, How close he
was to the golden crown.
Success is failure turned inside out - The silver tint
of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close
you are - It may be near when it seems afar; So stick
to the fight when you're hardest hit - It's when things
seem worst that you mustn't quit.
