You get to eat food that tastes good, you get to be lazy and sit on the couch and veg out and watch TV. You get to not do all the hard work of exercise. There are many other benefits that people get from not eating healthy, and many others that I probably did not list. I am not going to list them all, because you know most of them. I will list the benefits most people do not want to admit, often, even to themselves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are four main benefits that you probably get from not eating healthy, that you don’t want to admit (along with the obvious ones):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Avoiding being responsible&lt;br /&gt;2. Getting to be right and making others wrong&lt;br /&gt;3. Dominating others and avoiding domination&lt;br /&gt;4. Justifying yourself and invalidating others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These things are the hidden benefits. I will talk about each of them in more detail, and explain what I mean. You have to dig down and be honest, though. These four things are usually true for everyone, and the point of my sharing them is to make you aware of them, and for you to be honest with yourself about them. Most people do not think of these things as benefits. But if you look at them and are really honest with yourself, you will see the benefit people get from them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;People get to avoid being responsible by putting the responsibility on the medical symptoms and disease care system. You live under the illusion that they will create a magic pill or invent some technique or system to make you thin and healthy without you having to do a thing. They are responsible for your health, not you. It is an illusion many of us believe. Because then we get to avoid being responsible for our own health and eat anything we want. We get to do what we want, and then blame all of our symptoms on someone else.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get to be right and do exactly what you want. You don’t have to listen to all those doctors, all those people, especially that annoying health freak in your family. Every family usually has one. You get to be right about being able to do what you want. You get to make them wrong. And don’t we all enjoy making someone we don’t like so very wrong? We all want to be right and I can prove it. Have you every seen someone try and prove themselves wrong? Argue that they are not right? People love to be right and that includes being right with being able to eat whatever they want for whatever reasons they want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get to dominate others, and avoid others dominating you. You do not have to do what they say. You can do what you want. You can probably even control people and make them angry by doing things your way, by doing what you want.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get to justify yourself and invalidate others. You get proof for yourself that what you are doing is right. You get evidence that the way you are doing it is right. You get to make sure that other people’s way of thinking is wrong, and make sure they know you know they are wrong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are the hidden benefits that many people get for not eating healthy. Benefits that, if you are honest with yourself, you like getting as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What I am also going to point out is the not-so-obvious cost of not being healthy. There are benefits to eating junk food. But, as you know, nothing in life is free. If there is a benefit, there is a cost. What most people do not see is the cost, the price you have to pay for the benefits you are getting.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are also tons and tons of hidden costs that most people never see. I will list some of the biggest ones. This is the price you have to pay to eating junk food:&lt;br /&gt;1. Vitality &lt;br /&gt;2. An abundance of energy to do everything you want to do&lt;br /&gt;3. Happiness&lt;br /&gt;4. Love and closeness with others&lt;br /&gt;5. Satisfaction and fulfillment in life&lt;br /&gt;6. Healing symptoms and disease&lt;br /&gt;7. Symptoms and disease going away, &lt;br /&gt;8. Relief from the suffering that goes with the symptoms and disease&lt;br /&gt;9. Inner peace and harmony&lt;br /&gt;10. Being symptom- and disease-free&lt;br /&gt;11. Mental focus, memory, and clarity (no brain fog)&lt;br /&gt;12. Being awake and fully alive every day (not just dragging through stuff and surviving)&lt;br /&gt;13. Being present and having the ability to be with people&lt;br /&gt;14. No worry or fear&lt;br /&gt;15. Being confident in yourself&lt;br /&gt;16. Being complete and happy&lt;br /&gt;17. The ability to deal with issues that arise simply and with ease&lt;br /&gt;18. Having better health now, with security for yourself and your family later&lt;br /&gt;19. More time to do what you want to do&lt;br /&gt;20. Simpler choices&lt;br /&gt;21. Looking great, feeling good, reducing fat, and having tons of energy &lt;br /&gt;22. Being satisfied and Not being hungry all the time The list goes on and on, but these are some of the big ones.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are all things you do NOT get if you avoid eating healthy. It is the price you have to pay to not eat healthy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you are eating healthy, these same things are your rewards. These are the things you get when you are well. These things show up in your life as you are being healthy and well.

Just wanted to illustrate just how important water is to our physical. I also would like to elaborate on how important water is to our spiritual and mental development as well. Did you know that 2/3 of the world is covered in water or&lt;b&gt; that the human brain is 80% comprised of water?&lt;/b&gt; Interesting, yet very important facts. Now knowing the facts about one of our most important resources, we can strive to make water a pivotal part of our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lao Tzu understood the Importance of Water&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lao Tzu, the founder to &lt;yoono-highlight class="yoono-link-hover yoono-link-active-link" keywords="Taoism" onclick="___yoonoLink.onYoonoClick(this)" onmouseout="___yoonoLink.onYoonoOut(this)" onmouseover="___yoonoLink.onYoonoOver(event,this)"&gt;Taoism&lt;/yoono-highlight&gt;, once wrote, &lt;b&gt;"Nothing in the world is more flexible and yielding than water."&lt;/b&gt; Yet when it attacks the firm and the strong, none can withstand it, because they have no way to change it. So the flexible overcome the adamant, the yielding overcome the forceful. Everyone knows this, but no one can do it". If you would like an excellent resource on Taoism and even more in depth conversations on water, Read Dr. Wayne Dyer's, 'Change Your Thoughts - Change Your Life'. Ever see someone with a water pond or small water fall installed at their premises? It's because of the soothing, yet dynamic power of water that affects us. It is a refresher, a quencher, a calmer, and almost unexplainable element, the most important elixir that man knows about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Keep Hydrated&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As you can see, we should keep ourselves hydrated with as much water as we need throughout the day. Drink at least 8 (8 oz.) Glasses of water a day for optimal health. This improves a number of things. Brain function and hydration, organ function and &lt;yoono-highlight class="yoono-link-hover yoono-link-active-link" keywords="red blood cell" onclick="___yoonoLink.onYoonoClick(this)" onmouseout="___yoonoLink.onYoonoOut(this)" onmouseover="___yoonoLink.onYoonoOver(event,this)"&gt;red blood cell&lt;/yoono-highlight&gt; count (with a healthy dose of oxygen) are just a number of the benefits of drinking water. If you have a cupboard full of soda, throw it / or give it away and replace it with good old fashioned H20.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Use Water as a Relaxing Agent&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should also use water to relax your Mind, Body and Soul. You should get away from reality once in a while simply by going to the beach, a lake, take a bubble bath, sit in a Jacuzzi or many other ways of relaxing totally with water. To totally relax, you should simply make anything that worries or distract you simply just melt away. Feel the water on your body, how it moves around you, how it calms you from head to toe.&lt;br /&gt;When we start using water to bring meaning, purpose and hydration into our lives, we actually become healthier, more stress free and function optimally in our &lt;yoono-highlight class="yoono-link-hover yoono-link-active-link" keywords="day to day" onclick="___yoonoLink.onYoonoClick(this)" onmouseout="___yoonoLink.onYoonoOut(this)" onmouseover="___yoonoLink.onYoonoOver(event,this)"&gt;day to day&lt;/yoono-highlight&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td valign="top"&gt;&lt;div class="sig" id="sig"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 1em;"&gt;Article Source:        &lt;a bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED" href="http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Dwight_Anthony"&gt;

However, there are many varieties that are also enjoyed simply for their taste. Today, these teas can be bought in China as the country produces an entire pharmacy of herbs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Benefits of Chinese Herbal Tea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One of the well-known benefits of Chinese herbal tea is that it offers the tea drinker caffeine free alternatives.  Many of them are considered to be very soothing and comforting.  The Rosebud and Chrysanthemum herbal teas are just two of them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Rosebud and Chrysanthemum teas are known in China as a woman’s herb. However, it is also useful for aiding digestion. As noted, even a hardcore tea drinker will surely enjoy the flowery freshness of these miniature rosebuds. The Chrysanthemum in particular has a unique flavor. It has long been used to cool the body and reduce fever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Chinese herbal teas are even great beverages to have at night, especially when you might not want caffeine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Famous Flower Herbal Teas&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a number of Chinese herbal tea varieties, one of those are the flower teas.  These teas are caffeine free alternatives and offer various benefits. Most of them are calming and soothing, while offering a palatte of flavors.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the most famous flower teas:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Carnation Flower Tea – This is an attractive red flower tea which is said to help restore the energy of the body. It is also considered great for relaxing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Chrysanthemum Herbal Tea – This is but a top grade of the famous cooling tea infusion. It has a subtle sweetness and is highly refreshing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Gongju Herbal Tea – Another caffeine-free tea, which is smooth tasting.  The whole flower is known for its soothing as well as relaxing attributes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Jasmine Bud Flower Tea – According to some experts, this Chinese herbal tea consists solely of the small and beautiful Jasmine flowers that have yet to open. This produces a caffeine-free and sweet brew.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Forget Me Not Flower Tea – This is also caffeine-free and is said to aid the lungs. It brews a mild and grassy flavored tisane. And, it is known for its beautiful purple flowers.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Yunnan Flower Bud Tea – As the name implies, this Chinese herbal tea grows in the old forests of Yunnan. This is considered a rare flower and is a local Yunnan drink that is caffeine free.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Wild New York Ginseng – Here is another well-known Chinese herbal tea intended for those who appreciate the wild growing conditions in which the roots lived. It is said that because of the rugged wild conditions, each root has a unique appearance and personality.  Some of these wild roots can be very small but also very old. There are also some larger roots that can be younger. Accordingly, these herbal roots lives for at least seven years and up.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;• Kuding Pearl Tea – Many who have tasted this tea noted that this is a bitter tea. This variety is rolled into large pearls which are also called “one leaf tea” because of the size of the leaves. Others call it “one leaf” because one needs only one leaf of this tea to heal a number of things.  In addition, this is an ancient leaf and is deemed by many as an interesting herbal tea.&lt;br /&gt;===========================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Xtream Global Marketing – USA based online Internet Advertising Agency-Online Super Store for Internet Marketers.

Back in the 1960’s, life was changing. Women were beginning to work outside the home and the trend then was convenience. Processed foods meant a good meal could be delivered to the table in a fraction of the time. The market for frozen and processed foods literally took off. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Organic food was definitely not something that most people gave much attention to especially since there no longer was enough time to visit the butcher, the produce vendor and the dairy farm. A quick trip to the supermarket could now provide a family with enough food for several days. And that’s how life continued, fueled by the need for speed and convenience. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;Organic Foods Go Mainstream&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lately, people’s feelings towards the foods they eat are changing once again. This time, the change is being fueled by the feeling that people no longer know what they’re putting into their bodies. The news today is filled with stories of E. coli outbreaks, genetic food engineering, the potential dangers of eating foods that are shot up with growth hormones to make them bigger and better, and other frightening information. Tired of feeling out of control, eating organic has become chic and has definitely become the latest trend in eating among people from all levels of society. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;True organic food is more expensive than non-organic food, but the trade-offs are well worth the additional cost.&lt;/span&gt; Not only is organic food better for those who consume it, the people who eat organic foods claim these foods actually taste better than those grown and raised without this strict definition. In fact, eating organic is the best way and really is the only way to feel 100% confident about the foods that are consumed. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meeting the New Demand&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, organic food is big business and an ever-growing segment of the food industry. Farmers are changing the way they grow their foods to take advantage of this increased demand. Unfortunately for produce growers, it can take up to 2 full years for the land to cleanse itself of the synthetic pesticides and fertilizers that have been applied during all the years prior to growing organic. But the wait is a worthwhile trade-off as well. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Organic foods are so popular that it’s no longer necessary to shop for them at specialty stores. In fact, large grocery store chains are constantly devoting more shelf space to meet the ever-growing needs of organic food devotees.&lt;br /&gt;====================================&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Xtream Global Marketing – USA based online Internet Advertising Agency-Xtream, Free Members can earn  Fast  Start  Bonuses.

However, that doesn’t stop millions of Americans, and people around the world, from skipping breakfast or opting for only a drink of coffee. The truth is that breakfast really is the most important meal of the day, and you will have a much more healthy diet if you include breakfast in your daily life. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breakfast is rightly named—break fast. When you sleep, you are not eating for 6 to 9 hours at least, and more if you haven’t eaten since dinner the night before. Therefore, breakfast is the first time you’ll be eating anything for a very long period of time. Some nutrients, like proteins, cannot be stored in the body and are therefore not present, so the body needs you to replenish the “low” levels of such nutrients. Breakfast is like the match that lights the fire. It truly is a very important source of energy for your body in the morning. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eating breakfast in the morning also helps you avoid some illnesses and disease. For example, your sugar levels are probably out of whack from not eating for many hours, so having breakfast levels out the amount of sugars in your body, helping to prevent diabetes. Eating a healthy breakfast also helps you to provide food to your stomach so that you don’t overeat at lunch because you are so hungry. Overeating leads to obesity, which comes with a whole host of problems, including heart disease. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Healthy breakfast foods, like eggs, fruit, or bran cereal are also a good source of many of the vitamins and minerals a person needs during the day. If you don’t eat these things in the morning, it will be hard to make up for that loss later in the day. Remember that without the proper amounts of nutrients, you body will not function correctly. When you eat a healthy breakfast, it also makes you choose healthier foods during the rest of the day, so that you continue to get the proper nutrients needed for your body.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Setting aside 15 minutes in the morning to eat breakfast every day can truly make a great different in your diet. In the best case, your breakfast will include foods from at least three different food groups. For example, you can have whole grain toast (bread food group) with peanut butter (protein food group) and a banana (fruit food group). Top that off with a glass of milk to drink, and you’ve even hit a fourth food group. Breakfast does not have to include a heavy pancakes and sausage meal every day to be healthy, and even grabbing a single piece of fruit or a muffin is better than skipping the meal completely.

They seem to stiffen up with age, and such commonplace activities as bending over for the morning paper can make them wince.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Such pain can grip so fiercely that they are sure it begins deep in their bones. But the real cause of stiffness and soreness lies not in the joints or bones, according to research at the Johns Hopkins Medical School, but in the muscles and connective tissues that move the joints. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The frictional resistance generated by the two rubbing surfaces of bones in the joints is negligible, even in joints damaged by arthritis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Flexibility is the medical term used to describe the range of a joint’s motion from full movement in one direction to full movement in the other. The greater the range of movement, the more flexible the joint.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you bend forward at the hips and touch your toes with your fingertips, you have good flexibility, or range of motion of the hip joints. But can you bend over easily with a minimal expenditure of energy and force? The exertion required to flex a joint is just as important as its range of possible motion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Different factors limit the flexibility and ease of movement in different joints and muscles. In the elbow and knee, the bony structure itself sets a definite limit. In other joints, such as the ankle, hip, and back, the soft tissue—muscle and connective tissue—limit the motion range.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem of inflexible joints and muscles is similar to the difficulty of opening and closing a gate because of a rarely used and rusty hinge that has become balky.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hence, if people do not regularly move their muscles and joints through their full ranges of motion, they lose some of their potential. That is why when these people will try to move a joint after a long period of inactivity, they feel pain, and that discourages further use&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What happens next is that the muscles become shortened with prolonged disuse and produces spasms and cramps that can be irritating and extremely painful. The immobilization of muscles, as researchers have demonstrated with laboratory animals, brings about biochemical changes in the tissue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, other factors trigger sore muscles. Here are some of them:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. Too much exercise&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you always believed on the saying, “No pain, no gain?” If you do, then, it is not so surprising if you have already experienced sore muscles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The problem with most people is that they exercise too much thinking that it is the fastest and the surest way to lose weight. Until they ache, they tend to ignore their muscles and connective tissue, even though they are what quite literally holds the body together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. Aging and inactivity&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Connective tissue binds muscle to bone by tendons, binds bone to bone by ligaments, and covers and unites muscles with sheaths called fasciae. With age, the tendons, ligaments, and fasciae become less extensible. The tendons, with their densely packed fibers, are the most difficult to stretch. The easiest are the fasciae. But if they are not stretched to improve joint mobility, the fasciae shorten, placing undue pressure on the nerve pathways in the muscle fasciae. Many aches and pains are the result of nerve impulses traveling along these pressured pathways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. Immobility&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sore muscles or muscle pain can be excruciating, owing to the body’s reaction to a cramp or ache. In this reaction, called the splinting reflex, the body automatically immobilizes a sore muscle by making it contract. Thus, a sore muscle can set off a vicious cycle pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;First, an unused muscle becomes sore from exercise or being held in an unusual position. The body then responds with the splinting reflex, shortening the connective tissue around the muscle. This cause more pain, and eventually the whole area is aching. One of the most common sites for this problem is the lower back.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. Spasm theory&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the physiology laboratory at the University of Southern California, some people have set out to learn more about this cycle of pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Using some device, they measured electrical activity in the muscles. The researchers knew that normal, well-relaxed muscles produce no electrical activity, whereas, muscles that are not fully relaxed show considerable activity.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In one experiment, the researchers measured these electrical signals in the muscles of persons with athletic injuries, first with the muscle immobilized, and then, after the muscle had been stretched.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In almost every case, exercises that stretched or lengthened the muscle diminished electrical activity and relieved pain, either totally or partially.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These experiments led to the “spasm theory,” an explanation of the development and persistence of muscle pain in the absence of any obvious cause, such as traumatic injury.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;According to this theory, a muscle that is overworked or used in a strange position becomes fatigued and as a result, sore muscles.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hence, it is extremely important to know the limitations and capacity of the muscles in order to avoid sore muscles. This goes to show that there is no truth in the saying, “No pain, no gain.” What matters most is on how people stay fit by exercising regularly at a normal range than once rarely but on a rigid routine.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8415058917121080748-2167168017240617924?l=agingracefully.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agingracefully.blogspot.com/feeds/2167168017240617924/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8415058917121080748&amp;postID=2167168017240617924' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415058917121080748/posts/default/2167168017240617924'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415058917121080748/posts/default/2167168017240617924'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agingracefully.blogspot.com/2009/07/why-muscles-get-sore.html' title='Why Muscles Get Sore'/><author><name>Geneva Gallander</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_cpJwI2yRjWc/SOPMxoDbHXI/AAAAAAAAAD4/DwjhP33hfVY/S220/Gen.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415058917121080748.post-2010249054401190193</id><published>2008-02-02T15:44:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-24T11:52:18.867-08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='max gxl'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='glutathione'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='immune system'/><title type='text'>Your Immune System</title><content type='html'>The immune system, which is made up of special cells, proteins, tissues, and organs, defends people against germs and microorganisms every day.

Keller&lt;/span&gt; founded The BIODORON Institute of Advanced Medicine, a state-of-the-art medical clinic specializing in cutting edge treatment for immune system disorders and anti-aging.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After reviewing subject lab results for years, Dr. Keller noticed a trend. He kept seeing significantly low levels of uric acid in subjects with immune disorders. He decided to explore this finding, and his initial research concluded that uric acid is the last antioxidant at the body's disposal when all the normal antioxidants have been exhausted.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;As Dr. Keller has always been a strong advocate of nutrition, he went back in the literature, seeking the answer to one question: If uric acid is the body's last defense, then what is the first? His investigation led him to a substance called glutathione.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Glutathione (GSH): The Master Antioxidant&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Dr. Keller discovered that the most prevalent, powerful and multifunctional antioxidant in the human body – employed by every organ – is reduced glutathione.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Glutathione (GSH) is a small protein produced naturally in our cells if the requisite precursors are present. It functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Our glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. It has been suggested that in the future, GSH levels will be closely monitored. There are over 60,000 medical articles currently published on GSH, yet most health professionals have only a vague idea of its significance. In the near future the importance of glutathione will be widely recognized.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"&gt; &lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Test&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;After learning of the importance of GSH, Dr. Keller needed to test the hypothesis that the levels of GSH in subjects with immune disorders were, in fact, severely diminished. To get a current and accurate gauge of a subject's GSH level, Dr. Keller knew the test must measure GSH inside of lymphocytes (activated cells); however, no such lab test existed.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Using a state-of-the-art medical laboratory, Dr. Keller and his team of scientists developed a proprietary lab test to measure levels of GSH inside the lymphocytes.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The tests confirmed the hypothesis. People who are stressed, aging, lacking sleep, or with any prolonged illness utilize glutathione at an accelerated rate resulting in decreased bodily stores, weakened defenses, and increased risk of illnesses including accelerated aging.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Challenge&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;It was clear that the GSH levels needed to be replenished in these subjects. But how? Glutathione is produced naturally from three amino acids: glycine, glutamine, and cysteine. These essential precursors of GSH must be able to make it from the mouth to the gut, then through the cells walls and subsequently the mitochondrial membrane. There lies the challenge.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Unfortunately, we can’t raise our body’s GSH level with ordinary foods or pure L-glutathione. Even though glutathione is present in many fruits, vegetables and meats, this protein is instantly broken down during digestion into its three amino acids. Cysteine, or N-acetylcysteine (NAC), is the most important of these precursors and is the main limiting factor necessary for the body to manufacture GSH. Alone in the gut after digestion, cysteine is treated as a free radical and rapidly oxidized. Consequently, only a very small percentage reaches our bloodstream and cells.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Furthermore, GSH is always in great demand and is rapidly consumed, so any GSH that is made will be used up quickly making it even more difficult to increase this level. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p style="color: rgb(255, 255, 102);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The Solution: MaxGXL™&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; After years of research and development, Dr. Keller and the Max International scientific team developed MaxGXL, a product that contained the necessary components of glutathione that when absorbed into the body; stimulate the body’s own production of glutathione to be used by every cell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://goodhealth.maxtrax4u.com"&gt;http://goodhealth.maxtrax4u.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://goodhealth.mymaxgxl.com/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8415058917121080748-603004904195366030?l=agingracefully.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agingracefully.blogspot.com/feeds/603004904195366030/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8415058917121080748&amp;postID=603004904195366030' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415058917121080748/posts/default/603004904195366030'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415058917121080748/posts/default/603004904195366030'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agingracefully.blogspot.com/2008/01/maxgxl-story.html' title='The MaxGXL Story'/><author><name>Robert Albert</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://www.4planetearth.com/inzone/admin/photos/27993_1185820747.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_-fCCqGtZM0U/R5N0oks8i6I/AAAAAAAABEA/k9-X4s9YVWI/s72-c/mainimage.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415058917121080748.post-6879576090459711638</id><published>2008-01-12T06:56:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2009-01-24T12:05:46.708-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What is Glutathione?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://goodhealth.mymaxgxl.com/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 171px; height: 100px;" src="http://bp3.blogger.com/_-fCCqGtZM0U/R4jXcUs8ivI/AAAAAAAABCw/n1FP7bom6Zo/s200/gxlbox_small.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5154606655119067890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Glutathione &lt;/span&gt;(pronounced 'gloota-thigh-own') is the body's essential health ABC's - Antioxidant, Blood Booster and Cell Detoxifer. &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;It is a tripeptide composed of glutamic, cysteine and glycine.  Glutathione is found in all cells in the body, including the bile, the epithelial lining fluid of the lungs, and - at much smaller concentrations - in the blood.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Glutathione&lt;/span&gt; is the smallest intracellular non-protein thiol (molecule containing an S_H or sulfhydryl group) molecule in the cells.  This characteristic emphasizes its potent antioxidant action and supports a multifaceted thiol exchange system, which regulates cell activity.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;This small protein, produced naturally in the body, maintains these three crucial protective functions. In fact, your life depends on glutathione.  Without it, your cells would disintegarate from unrestrained oxidation, your body would have little resistance to metabolic acids, and your liver would shrivel up from the eventual accumulation of acidic toxins.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Glutathione is not yet a household word.  Even some medical and holistic doctors who have heard the term may still have only a vague idea of what it is.  However, everyone will soon be talking about this critical non-nutritive substance.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;There was a time when only scientists had heard of cholesterol and vitamins, but today, everyone knows about them.  Now the magnificence of glutathione is becoming known.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;In the last five years, over 25,000 medical articles about this substance have been published, and the scientific understanding of glutathione is gradually becoming common knowledge.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div&gt;Each and every cell in the body is responsible for its own supply of glutathione and must have the necessary raw materals in order to produce it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Max GXL &lt;/span&gt;re-produces&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Glutathione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://goodhealth.maxtrax4u.com"&gt;http://goodhealth.maxtrax4u.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8415058917121080748-6879576090459711638?l=agingracefully.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agingracefully.blogspot.com/feeds/6879576090459711638/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8415058917121080748&amp;postID=6879576090459711638' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415058917121080748/posts/default/6879576090459711638'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415058917121080748/posts/default/6879576090459711638'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agingracefully.blogspot.com/2008/01/what-is-glutathione.html' title='What is Glutathione?'/><author><name>Robert Albert</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://www.4planetearth.com/inzone/admin/photos/27993_1185820747.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_-fCCqGtZM0U/R4jXcUs8ivI/AAAAAAAABCw/n1FP7bom6Zo/s72-c/gxlbox_small.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8415058917121080748.post-5687810841819238684</id><published>2007-12-26T12:02:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-01-12T08:34:24.913-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Max GXL Featured in Your Business at Home Magazine</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.maxgxl.com/rcalbert"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_-fCCqGtZM0U/R3K6aEs8ilI/AAAAAAAABBo/6x3nYxoScCQ/s200/magemail2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5148382281139522130" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Your Business at Home is a National Newsstand Magazine distributed monthly at book stores such as Barnes and Noble, Borders, Hastings, Book-A-Million and B.

Increasing your&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; glutathione &lt;/span&gt;level will naturally increase your energy, detoxify your body and strengthen your immune system. Help stop the aging process.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Glutathione&lt;/span&gt; is important to physically active people. Many world-class athletes are discovering that well-maintained glutathione levels gives them the edge over their competitors, bringing greater strength and endurance, decreased recovery time from injury, less muscle pain and fatigue, and muscle-promoting activity. The best way to raise glutathione levels is by using&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; Max GXL &lt;/span&gt;every day.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply put, glutathione&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; (GSH)&lt;/span&gt; is the body’s master antioxidant. It is a small protein produced naturally in our cells when certain required elements are present. It functions both as an antioxidant and an antitoxin and is a major defense system against illness and aging. Our glutathione level actually indicates our state of health and can predict longevity. Although there are more than 60,000 published papers on the beneficial effects of glutathione replacement, it is still largely ignored by mainstream medicine. . In the near future the importance of glutathione will be widely recognized because it has the ability to boost the immune system and fight off the damage of free radicals on the cells.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Modern research has shown that individuals who have low levels of glutathione are susceptible to chronic illness. Decreased levels of glutathione can be brought about by continual stress upon the immune system. As we now know, a lowered immune system can bring about illness and disease. This is a ferocious cycle. While you need glutathione for a productive immune system, a weakened immune system hampers the production of glutathione.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 102, 0);"&gt;Glutathione &lt;/span&gt;has been shown to slow down the aging process, detoxify and improve liver function, strengthen the immune system, and reduce the chances of developing cancer. Glutathione also works to help improve mental functions, increase energy, improve concentration, permit increased exercise, and improve heart and lung function - just to name a few.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://goodhealth.maxtrax4u.com"&gt;http://goodhealth.maxtrax4u.com&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://goodhealth.mymaxgxl.com/"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8415058917121080748-3624308722584766157?l=agingracefully.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agingracefully.blogspot.com/feeds/3624308722584766157/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8415058917121080748&amp;postID=3624308722584766157' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415058917121080748/posts/default/3624308722584766157'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8415058917121080748/posts/default/3624308722584766157'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agingracefully.blogspot.com/2007/12/aging-gracefully-with-max-gxl.html' title='Aging Gracefully with Max Gxl'/><author><name>Robert Albert</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://www.4planetearth.com/inzone/admin/photos/27993_1185820747.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp3.blogger.com/_-fCCqGtZM0U/R3FliEs8ijI/AAAAAAAABAo/RgUb-yjkpDk/s72-c/age.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
