<p>If you want to get more done in a day, the best way to make that happen is to have more energy all day long.</p>
<p>These top 5 tips will insure you don&#8217;t run out of steam during the day.  You will be amazed at how much more you can get done in a day when you have the energy.</p>
<h2>#1 Stay Hydrated!</h2>
<p>I can&#8217;t stress this enough.  Most people do not drink enough water in a day.  Notice I said water and not soda pop, coffee or tea.  Every animal on the planet drinks water and so should you.  Your body is mostly water and all of your cells need fresh water to bring in nourishment as well as to carry away wastes.</p>
<p>Symptoms of being dehydrated: headaches, low energy, dry skin, dry or sticky mouth, poor sleep, thirst, constipation, dizziness or feeling lightheaded.  (The list goes on and on)   <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0970245882/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=custperfcomp-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0970245882" target="_blank">Read More</a></p>
<p>According to <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0970245882/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=custperfcomp-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=0970245882" target="_blank">Your Body&#8217;s Many Cries for Water</a> (which I have read and referenced more than once) the formula for how much water you actually need it to take your body weight in lbs and divide by 2 and consume that much water divided up through the day.  So if you weighed 200lbs, you would need 100 ounces of water a day.  This may sound like a lot, but it is easily consumed when you use a 20 once water bottle and drink it at 5 different times spaced throughout the day.</p>
<p>When you begin doing this make sure you get the minerals you need, which brings me to number 2:</p>
<h2>#2 MINERALS and Electrolytes</h2>
<p>You need minerals, Electrolytes and salt to survive.  I&#8217;m not talking about table salt either; I am talking about real natural salt from the ocean which has up to 86 minerals in it.  Table salt has had all its minerals removed and only sodium left which is then combined with Iodine.</p>
<p>Sometime in the future I will do a write up on all the benefits of salt and minerals, but suffice to say that the water cure mentioned above says that for every 32 oz of water, you consume 1/4tsp of natural salt.   So a 16oz glass of water would only need 1/8th tsp of salt.</p>
<p>Try your best to stay away from table salt and processed food as this salt is said to cause health problems.</p>
<p>Here is the EXACT salt that I just ordered from Amazon and had delivered yesterday:   <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005MER0RA/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;tag=custperfcomp-20&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B005MER0RA" target="_blank">My Favorite Salt</a></p>
<p>Along with water intake, this salt will replenish your body with minerals that would be washed away from the water intake.  You will flush out toxins and feel incredible.</p>
<h2>#3 Include a Healthy Protein with EVERY Meal!</h2>
<p>Be sure you include a healthy protein with every meal and snack you eat; otherwise you may find your energy crashing after a sugar spike comes crashing back down.  When you include a healthy protein source, it takes longer to digest and keeps your blood sugar more even between meals and prevents that after lunch or after breakfast energy crash.</p>
<p>A good way to sabotage your energy is to start you day off with a high carbohydrate cereal for breakfast with no source of  protein.</p>
<p>Here are some healthy proteins you are sure to enjoy: Meats, Poultry, Eggs, Fish (wild caught), raw nuts and nut butters.</p>
<p>A great example for a snack is to have a few nuts along with some fruit.  Eggs are great for breakfast and if you are short on time in the mornings, then hard boil some eggs the night before.</p>
<h2>#4 Stop Stimulants</h2>
<p>Energy drinks and even coffee tend to send your energy crashing later in the day.  After a while your body builds up a resistance to the effects of caffeine and people tend to slowly increase their intake or combine energy drinks all in order to get that extra boost in the morning.  Next thing you know you can&#8217;t even handle a day without caffeine.  In fact, it is common for people to become addicted to caffeine and require it daily just to avoid getting a headache or nausea.</p>
<p>On top of all this, caffeine is a diuretic and it dehydrates your body (see Tip #1) which means you will need even more water just to feel good.</p>
<p>If you are addicted to caffeine I certainly don&#8217;t advocate stopping cold turkey as you and everyone around you will become quite miserable.  Instead try following these other tips and slowly lower your intake and soon you&#8217;ll feel far more energized.</p>
<h2>#5 Exercise</h2>
<p>This is the hardest one for most people, but daily exercise will really boost your energy throughout the day.   You will more than make up for the time you spent exercising by having energy when you come home from work and late into the evening.  Here are a few of the scientifically proven health benefits of exercise:</p>
<p>Longevity (You will live longer)</p>
<p>Better Weight Control (shed fat)</p>
<p>Lowers Blood Pressure</p>
<p>Lowers Cholesterol</p>
<p>Prevents and controls Diabetes</p>
<p>Improves Cardiovascular Health</p>
<p>Better Antidepressant than pills (with much healthier side effects)</p>
<p>Improved Muscle Strength and Tone</p>
<p>Improved Bone Strength</p>
<p>Improved Mental Function</p>
<p>Sleep Better At Night</p>
<p>Exercise does NOT have to mean pushing your body to the limit in a sweaty gym.  The best form of exercise, especially if you have been sitting on your bottom for many years, is to go outside and start walking.  30 minutes of walking a day will greatly improve your life.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="color: #ff0000;">UPDATE:</span> Since I wrote this post I have recieved comments and several email complaints telling me that I was wrong.  So I have written<a href="http://johnderrick.com/self_improvement/healthy-lifestyle/healthly-tips/weightloss-products/"> THIS POST</a> as a followup to this one.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br />
</strong></p>
<p>No, I am not going to recommend a book, or a product of any kind.</p>
<p>But to be honest, I was shocked to see which book was number one for the word DIET on Amazon:  <a href="http://johnderrick.com/diet">SEE HERE</a></p>
<p>If you want to achieve a SUSTAINED <a href="http://johnderrick.com/diet" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://johnderrick.com/diet';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">weight loss</a>, which is to say you want to lose weight and not have it come back again, there is really only one way to do it.</p>
<p><strong>JUST DO THESE TWO THINGS:</strong></p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>#1  Eat Healthy</strong></span></p>
<p>Eating healthy means eating fresh fruits and vegetables along with lean meats such as poultry and fish.</p>
<p>DO NOT eat the bad white&#8217;s:  Bread, pasta, rice, potatoes and sugar.</p>
<p>What you want to eat is FOOD, not man-made food-like substances.  Don&#8217;t over eat and have as much vegetables as you desire, it is pretty hard to consume too many vegetables, especially green ones.</p>
<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>#2 Exercise</strong></span></p>
<p>I know you didn&#8217;t want to hear this, but there is no way around it.  If you want to be thin, and waaaay more important if you want to be HEALTHY and live a long healthy life, you have to move your body.  Research shows that a minimum of 20 minutes a day, but for best results you really should shoot for an hour a day.</p>
<p>That may sound like a lot, but you can break it up into smaller pieces through out the day.  Take a 20 minute walk before work, or better yet walk or bicycle into work.  20 minutes of walking on lunch and your already 40 minutes done.  Now you just need to find 20 minutes when you get off work and you are set.</p>
<p>If it is important to you to be healthy, fit, energetic and live a long time, you will find the time.</p>
<p>How many stupid TV shows have you found countless hours to watch?</p>
<p>Pretty easy huh?  Okay, so maybe not so easy, but I dare you to find someone who eats healthy and exercises 60 minutes a day who is obese.  All these miracle diets that come out each year do allow for weight loss, but it is never permanent unless  you incorporate the two things I covered here.</p>
<p>Some of the stuff on Amazon does look good, but some of it is hilarious:  <a href="http://johnderrick.com/diet">Amazon Link</a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Wishing you a fit and healthy new year,</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I must confess that I left the raw food diet for Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>My thought was that  I would simply go back to raw the day after thanksgiving, but that is not what happened.  It was not until yesterday that I returned to eating all raw all day.</p>
<p><strong>Before I tell you what happened, </strong>I want to clarify that I didn&#8217;t &#8220;over eat&#8221;<a href="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/rawfood-smoothie.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-815 alignright" title="rawfood-smoothie" src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/rawfood-smoothie.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="265" /></a> on Thanksgiving and eat  tons of food.  No, not at all.  In fact, I only had one plate of food,  but I did put a lot of food on that plate.  Turkey, mashed potato&#8217;s, gravy, rice, deviled eggs, scalloped corn (family recipe).  I didn&#8217;t even have any stuffing this year.</p>
<p><strong>What happened?</strong></p>
<p><strong>* In about a week I put on 5 lbs.   FIVE POUNDS&#8230;.  egads</strong></p>
<p>* I felt sluggish and tired most of the day(s) and experienced some minor bloating.</p>
<p>* Strangest of all, I had a lot of mucus.  I&#8217;m not sure I would call it a cold, but I had a lot of mucus in my nose and throat.  My wife who also had gone raw with me went off raw for thanksgiving and she too had similar symptoms.</p>
<p>Naturally I could assume that the cold-like symptoms were something contagious, but my two children did not have any cold-like symptoms, which seemed a bit odd at the time.</p>
<p>When I started watching Youtube videos on going raw I found that a LOT of people got &#8220;sick&#8221; when they came off raw and jumped straight into meat and processed foods.   How interesting.</p>
<p>It would seem to me, then, that the cold-like symptoms are not caused by bacteria or a virus, but rather are a reaction of the body to the re-introduction of cooked food.</p>
<p>Because I want that massive energy back and I want to feel healthy and vibrant again, I have decided to go back onto a raw diet, starting yesterday!</p>
<p><strong>1 Day after being back on raw food:</strong></p>
<p>I have lost 2 of the 5 pounds, which says to me that a lot of that may have been water weight, perhaps from the increased salt found in cooked foods.  I feel pretty certain that the 5 pounds will be gone within one week of being back on a raw natural diet.</p>
<p>I look forward to feeling great again and dropping even more excess weight.</p>
<p>If anyone is wondering&#8230;. no&#8230; my wife has not yet decided to re-join me on my raw journey.  But I am guessing that once she see&#8217;s me bouncing around and feeling great once again she will join me on an all raw diet.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t promise I will eat this way forever, but I can promise that this is what I am doing right now, because it makes me feel great.</p>
<p>Have a great holiday season,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/rawfood2.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-811" title="RawFoodDiet" src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/rawfood2.jpg" alt="" width="320" height="179" /></a>I began eating raw on Monday, Oct 25th, which means that today is day 17.</p>
<p>I have not been 100% raw, but I have been pretty darn close.  It turns out that the mixed nuts I have been eating a handful of each day, are unsalted dry roasted.   One day I also decided to have some whole wheat pasta my wife made for her and our children.</p>
<p>I THOUGHT that I knew what eating healthy was all about.  A little fish and chicken, lots of steamed veggies, some fruits but no too many because they are high in natural sugar&#8230;  add in some grains but avoid dairy because it clogs up the body.  That is what I WAS doing.</p>
<p>Since I have gone raw, the following has happend in 17 days:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a href="http://johnderrick.com/diet" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://johnderrick.com/diet';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">Weight Loss</a>: </strong>I have dropped 10 pounds in 17 days.</li>
<li><strong>Sleep Better: </strong> My sleep has drastically improved (much deeper)</li>
<li><strong>Dreams: </strong>I don&#8217;t recall having dreams for the last few years, and now I have VIVID life-like dreams each night</li>
<li><strong>Blood Sugar</strong> is slightly lower (in the low  middle of normal) despite eating a LOT of fruit all day</li>
<li><strong>Blood Pressure</strong> has lowered to the best I&#8217;ve ever seen as an adult</li>
<li><strong>Higher Energy: </strong>My energy is waaaaaay up, at an all time high!<strong><br />
</strong></li>
<li><strong>Clear Headed: </strong>My head is clear and I can think more clearly now.</li>
<li><strong>Calm and Relaxed: </strong>Aggression and anger no longer require self control, it&#8217;s like they just melted away.</li>
<li><strong>Stress Reduced: </strong>Ability to handle stress has greatly increased. <strong><br />
</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>My wife saw the changes in me, especially the increased energy, and now she is on day 6 of eating raw herself.  Her energy has <a href="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/rawfood-smoothie.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-815" title="rawfood-smoothie" src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/rawfood-smoothie-300x248.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="248" /></a>improved dramatically already.</p>
<p>17 days without meat and I feel wonderful.  I did not expect this, being a meat eater (and meat lover) in the past.  The eating for your blood type people would say that I, being a blood type O, need a lot of meat and that I am a high protein type.</p>
<p>The whole blood type thing always seemed a little bit odd to me.  After all, we don&#8217;t check the blood types of animals to determine their diet.  Every animal on the planet knows what to eat except for us humans.  Isn&#8217;t that silly?</p>
<p>While I am not expert on the subject, all I can report is how I feel and I feel wonderful.  I drink 2 green smoothies a day, which are mostly fruit, and I eat a lot of bananas and apples.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve been monitoring my blood pressure and blood sugar and both of those have improved.  I don&#8217;t feel any kind of weakness which I normally do on a &#8220;d-i-e-t&#8221;, so I am guessing I am not losing any muscle mass.  Unlike other d-i-e-t-s, I am allowing myself to eat as much and as often as I want.   As a matter of fact, I feel like I am eating all day long&#8230;   a little bit here and a little bit there.</p>
<p>The hunger feeling is VASTLY different now though.  I eat because I feel like I need an energy boost.  I don&#8217;t really eat planned meals anymore and sometimes I go for many hours without eating because I do not have hunger.  Cravings has disappeared also.</p>
<p>I am going to research the protein aspect of this way of eating, because it seems as though protein is only 5% of my current diet.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Bad things happen to good people.</p>
<p>I am sure you have had something negative happen to you in your life.</p>
<p>So why do bad things happen?  What create them?</p>
<p>There are two schools of thought out there when it comes to the world.</p>
<p>#1 You have no control over everything that happens outside of you and you are helpless to world events.</p>
<p>#2  You create everything that happens outside of you.  Your perception of reality makes it real.  You attract or create everything that happens to you in your life.</p>
<p><span style="color: #ffffff;">.</span></p>
<p>As you can see, these are VERY different belief sets, but as unlikely as it may seem, both of these belief sets lead us to the same conclusion.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at belief #1.  This is the belief that comes from feeling separate from the world around you.  Here you have believe that when something bad happens to you, there is nothing you can do but respond to the bad thing.   There are no lessons to be learned in creating the bad thing, because you had nothing to do with it occurring in the first place.   A Secularist may believe that the world is random and that it is random chance, and a religious person may blame the devil, or feel that he/she is being punished from God, but either way, the thing they all agree on is that they do not create the world outside of them.</p>
<p>So, with that belief set, the obvious conclusion I come to is this:</p>
<p>IF SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU SHOULD KEEP A POSITIVE MINDSET.  YOU SHOULD TRY TO NOT LET BAD THINGS BOTHER YOU BECAUSE YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT TO BEGIN WITH.  WHEN YOU FEEL BAD, YOU LET THE WORLD CHANGE YOU, AND GETTING ANGRY AND/OR DEPRESSED IS SIMPLY BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH AND LOWERS YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS.</p>
<p>Now let&#8217;s take a look at belief #2.  People with this belief take responsibility for everything that happens in their life, good or bad.  They believe that they create the world outside of them, and that every interaction is a product of their own creation.  A secularist may believe the world to be a projection created by the mind and that reality is a malleable illusion.  A religious person may believe that they are co-creators with God, and that they are connected with everything because everything is a creation of God and therefore they are in the same flow of being of God, with everything in existence.</p>
<p>So, with that belief set, the obvious conclusion I come to is this:</p>
<p>IF  SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU SHOULD KEEP A POSITIVE MINDSET.  YOU  SHOULD TRY TO NOT LET BAD THINGS BOTHER YOU BECAUSE YOU WILL CREATE MORE BAD THINGS BY REACTING AND FEELING NEGATIVE.  WHEN YOU FEEL BAD, YOU CREATE MORE NEGATIVE THINGS IN YOUR OWN LIFE.  GETTING ANGRY AND/OR DEPRESSED IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH, LOWERS YOUR CHANCES OF SUCCESS AND ATTRACTS/CREATES MORE BAD THINGS IN YOUR LIFE.</p>
<p>So you see, either way, being positive in a negative situation is solution.</p>
<p>You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.</p>

<p>There is nothing more important in your life than your health.  Money is worthless if you are too  sick to be able to use it.  Your spouse, children and friends all need you to be healthy if you want to enjoy those relationships fully.</p>
<p>Love? Money?  Power?  Sex?  None of it matters if you don&#8217;t have your health.</p>
<p>Once you are healthy, and full of energy, THEN you can use this technique to go after all those other great things.</p>

<p>I didn&#8217;t use to be healthy.  Not at all.   Even as a child I was always sickly.  As a young adult I had chronic Asthma and often found myself hospitalized.  Later in life I developed chronic boils and skin infections.  I was in the hospital with heart irregularities and was given nitroglycerin for my chest pain.</p>
<p>The worst was being diagnosed with Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a so-called incurable disease that is both extremely painful and disabling.  In fact, it was so bad and so painful that I was told I should consider myself disabled and accept social security disability.</p>
<p>I do NOT suffer from ANY of those conditions now.  Not a one.</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #993300;">I am going to share with you EXACTLY how I did it&#8230;.</span></strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Remember when you were young and everything in the world was fresh and new?</p>
<p>Life was more exciting and full of promise.  I believed I would change the world, and even though I have embarked on a career that has helped many people, when I was a child possibilities were limitless.</p>
<p>One of the amazing things about being a child is getting to do things for the first time.  The world was new and exciting.  Every experience had a first time and nothing compares to the excitement of doing something for the first time.</p>
<p>Remember your first kiss?</p>
<p>Even though I love my wife very much, a simple peck on the lips these days is common place and in fact is expected whenever we part each others company or when she comes home after being out all day.</p>
<p>Remember the first time you drove a car?</p>
<p>My nerves were screaming as I drove my parents car down the highway at night.  Sure, it was a straight stretch of road and today I drive without even noticing it, but the first time was a very different kind of experience.</p>
<p>Those first times make you feel alive.</p>
<p>The first time you vacation somewhere everything it new.  The first time I went to Las Vegas was far more exciting than the third time.  My first trip to Victoria, British Columbia was wonderful and more exciting and fun than any time I have visited since.</p>
<p>How long has it been since you felt alive?</p>
<p>Now that I am in my thirties I have to admit that most of what I do I have done many times before.  It may be comforting, but it doesn&#8217;t feel as exciting and vibrant as doing something for the first time.</p>
<p>It doesn&#8217;t take any money to do something new.  In fact, you can take something that you do regularly and change it up so that you are doing it in a way that is new and exciting.</p>
<p>Even something as mundane as taking a shower.  Sure, the first time you took a shower by yourself it was probably pretty exciting.  You were not sure how to get the water exactly right and didn&#8217;t know how long it would last.  There were new sights and smells and even the feel of the water falling onto your body was a new experience.</p>
<p>Tonight I decided to do something new.  It was on a whim.  Something that I had never done before.  I took a shower in the dark.</p>
<p>If you are anything like my wife, you probably think I am a bit off my rocker, but I assure you that taking a shower in the dark, at least for me, was an exciting new experience.</p>
<p>It was completely dark, so just moving in the bathroom was a new experience.  I noticed that I kept the water extra hot, probably because the blackness around me felt so cold.  Every noise in the house stood out.  Reaching for the shampoo was no problem, but I had to use my sense of smell to find the right bottle among the many bottles that belong to my wife.  Rinsing soap I could not see was an interesting experience.</p>
<p>In essence, I took an otherwise mundane experience and made it into something completely new.</p>
<p>Another option is to take a cold shower, where you only turn on the cold water.  WOW&#8230;  that is completely different from what I am used to also.  I guarantee you will feel awake after one of those&#8230;  if you can stand it for the length of a full shower.</p>
<p>I just rearranged the furniture in my house and now every room has that new exciting feeling.  My front room is so different that every day when I walk out into it I am surprised.  Sure, the effect will only last for a week or two at tops&#8230;.  that&#8217;s because I will soon be used to it this way.</p>
<p>The other day I bought a new piece of software for editing videos.  The first hour I thought to myself &#8220;wow, this is nothing like I&#8217;ve ever used before&#8221;.  Now, a just a couple days later it has already lost it&#8217;s excitement and is just another tool that I enjoy using.</p>
<p>How many gadgets have you bought and were excited to use it for the first time?  New cell phones are a great example of this.  It&#8217;s exciting to open the box and play with the new phone discovering all the features, but a month or two later it&#8217;s just a phone.</p>
<p>Here are some ideas of ways you can feel young again,</p>
<p><strong>1. Go to a new restaurant</strong></p>
<p>Try to pick somewhere with a new kind of food that you have never tried. Mexican, Greek, Indian, Russian, Middle Eastern, Tai, Chinese, Mongolian, Cajun, Sushi, or something you have never tried before.</p>
<p><strong>2. Try a new sport you&#8217;ve never tried.</strong></p>
<p><strong>3. Try using your non-dominant hand for a day.</strong><br />
It&#8217;s amazing how strange it feels to do something with my left hand.  Even something as simple as signing my own name.</p>
<p><strong>4. Take part in an activity new to you</strong>&#8230;<br />
Try your hand at bingo or a play a game of pool or use a batting cage.  The world is full of activities that most of us have not tried.  You don&#8217;t have to be good at it in order to enjoy doing something new.</p>
<p><strong>5. Get involved with a charity or community service.<br />
</strong>Volunteering is a great way to interact with others and give back to the community at the same time. And sharing your time is not just good for your <em>mental</em> health. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University, found that as older adults participated in Experience Corps, they showed both mental <em>and</em> physical improvements, including increased strength and endurance. By choosing activities that are personally rewarding, you may discover similar benefits.</p>
<p><strong>6. Be a tourist in your own town!</strong><br />
You&#8217;ll be surprised how much there is to do right where you live!  Contact your local chamber of commerce or look your city or area up in Google.com  and you&#8217;ll be amazed at what you find to do and sights to see you probably never seen in your own area.</p>
<p><strong>7.  Join a Local Group.<br />
</strong>You can check out the website:  <a href="http://www.meetup.com/" target="_blank">http://www.meetup.com/</a> and see what is going on where you live.  There are thousands of groups of people getting together for everything you can imagine and more.</p>
<p><strong>8. Explore a new area. </strong><br />
It doesn&#8217;t have to be anywhere in specific, you could drive to a city that you have never been to before and spend the day exploring all the neat sights, sounds and local shops.  If you prefer the outdoors, when not hike a new trail or visit a lake or camp grounds you&#8217;ve never been to.</p>
<p><strong>9. Explore New Romance, or Re-Kindle An Existing Romance. </strong><br />
It doesn&#8217;t matter how long you have been together with your spouse, you can rekindle that spark and find brand new excitement.  Share a candlelit dinner, create a thoughtful gift or take your partner out dancing.  Suprise him or her with something brand new and you may just find yourself pleasantly surprised with a new romantic excitement&#8230;  just like in the &#8220;good ole days&#8221;.</p>
<p>If your single, try dating someone unique or unusual and explore outside your normal comfort zone.</p>
<p>Of course, if you really want to spice things up in the bedroom&#8230;.  you may want to explore <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/500-Love-Making-Secrets/index.php" target="_blank">500 Love Making Secrets.</a> It&#8217;s even Oprah approved!  Okay&#8230; nuff said on that.</p>
<p><strong>10.  One of the best ways to feel young, and keep your mind young&#8230;  is to challenge your mind with something brand new. </strong><br />
Learning a new language is one of the surest ways to keep your mind young.  <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/RocketSpanish/index.php" target="_blank">Rocket Spanish, </a>is supposed to be the fastest way to begin speaking Spanish.  No only does it keep your mind young, but it opens the door to a whole new world of conversation and eaves dropping.  You&#8217;d be amazed at what Spanish speaking people will say to each other in front of you because they presume you can&#8217;t understand what they are saying.  That alone makes for great fun.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/Shocking-Weight-Loss-Secret/index.php" target="_blank"><img src="http://johnderrick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/belly.jpg" alt="fat loss belly" align="left" hspace="20" /></a>We have a water cooler in our home because my family and I drink a lot of water.  Even the neighbor kids love to drink water when they can get it ice cold from a water cooler.</p>
<p>I was carrying in one of the large 5 gallon jugs to put on top of the cooler when it struck me.  This 5 gallon water jug weighs about 40 lbs.   It&#8217;s not surprising that when I am carrying one  I can feel the strain in my back and in my legs.  Because the jugs have a handle built into them, I often carry them two at a time.  That&#8217;s 10 gallons of water and over 80lbs.</p>
<p><strong>Here&#8217;s What IS Surprising</strong></p>
<p>I have lost over 100lbs in weight.  That means that I have lost more weight than two 5 gallon water jugs.  When I am carrying all this water and feeling the strain it puts on my body&#8230;.  I know that my body use to have that strain on it everywhere I went.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t quite wrap my mind around that.  How could I lose the weight of 12 gallons of water?  Logically I would presume that the volume to fat and water would be similar, but I simply can not imagine that I had an added body volume equivalent to 12 gallons of water.</p>
<p>It certainly puts things into a new perspective.</p>
<p><strong><font color="#d50000">WARNING :</font></strong>  <strong>I really want you to know the shocking truth to <a href="http://johnderrick.com/diet" style="" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" onmouseover="self.status='http://johnderrick.com/diet';return true;" onmouseout="self.status=''">weight loss</a>&#8230;.  but&#8230;..  well&#8230;  it can be scary.   So I wanted to warn you first.<br />
<a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/Shocking-Weight-Loss-Secret/index.php" target="_blank">SHOCKING WEIGHT LOSS SECRET</a>  I guarantee you will be shocked.</strong></p>
<p>Let&#8217;s cut to the fact of the matter.  If you want to be healthy and don&#8217;t want to die early&#8230;.  you need to <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/Shocking-Weight-Loss-Secret/index.php" target="_blank">do something about it now</a>.  The sooner the better.</p>
<p>I want you feel alive and be in vibrant health for a long&#8230; long&#8230; time!</p>

<p>It would seem logical that if you ate a healthy and balanced diet, you would not need additional vitamins or minerals.  The problem is that most of us do not eat an ideal diet that provides us all the nutrients we need.  Combine that with the fact that today&#8217;s fruits and vegetables are being grown in soil that is lacking in minerals, it becomes nearly impossible to get the nutrients you need by food alone.</p>
<p>That being said, I am not a big fan of chemically created nutrients.  For example:  Ascorbic Acid is not the same thing as naturally occurring Vitamin C.  In fact, it is only one small part of Vitamin C, yet people take Ascorbic Acid daily and the companies producing it call it Vitamin C.   Chemical forms of minerals are also vastly different than the natural forms found in plants, and many people argue that the rock forms of minerals are not even usable by the human body and can in fact build up and cause mineral deposits in your body.</p>
<p>That is why I set out to find a plant based nutrient.  At first I looked into pills, but I quickly realized that the only way to get all natural plant food nutrition was to either juice it, or purchase it in a powder form.  Naturally, I began juicing.</p>
<p>Juicing is incredibly healthy for you and I highly recommend it.  The problem becomes the hassle.  After a month of juicing, I got tired of buying produce by the pound only to come home and have to scrub it under running water, dry it so it didn&#8217;t grow mold, and store in the refrigerator, where it took up a considerable amount of room.  Making juice is also very messy and it takes a lot of time to clean up afterward.</p>
<p>So I began looking into plant extracted powders.  There are tons of them, but none of them&#8230;. not a single one even came close to Vitamineral Green.  <a href="http://www.YourWealthCourse.com" target="_blank">Money is not a problem </a>for me, and I wanted the best of the best.   If you are on a budget, you might think that $45 is a bit steep and I can understand that.  <a href="http://YourSecretCourse.com" target="_blank">I was once where you are now</a>&#8230;  but how can you put a pricetag on the increased energy and sense of well being you will feel when you give your body the fuel that it really needs?</p>
<p>Vitamineral Green is a raw, organic, whole green food powder that may be the most comprehensive superfood product ever offered.  It is loaded with nutrient-dense ingredients like barley and wheat grass, alfalfa, kamut grass, green vegetables, algaes, sea vegetables and enzymes.  You&#8217;ll feel the energizing and cleansing effects of this incredible supplement immediately.</p>
<p>Because it is a food and NOT a supplement, it is totally non-toxic.  It delivers vitamins and minerals in their natural states, so they are exceptionally absorbable.</p>
<p>Here are the all natural ingredients:</p>
<p><strong>Land vegetables </strong>- whole leaf barley grass, whole leaf wheat grass, nettle leaf, shavegrass (horsetail), alfalfa leaf juice, dandelion leaf juice, kamut grass juice, barley grass juice, oat grass juice, burdock root, broccoli juice, kale juice, spinach juice, parsley juice, carob pod, ginger root, nopal cactus, amla berry</p>
<p><strong>Algaes </strong>- spirulina, broken cell wall chlorella</p>
<p><strong>Wildcrafted Aquatic Vegetables</strong> &#8211; Icelandic kelp, Nova Scotia dulse</p>
<p><strong>Enzymes</strong> &#8211; protease, amylase + lipase, cellulase, bromelain, papain, alpha glalctosidase<br />
<strong><br />
</strong><strong>Probiotic Mixture </strong>- beneficial organisms including exclusive NSO (natural soil organisms) and implantable species: A. Agilis, L. Acidophilus, R. Arrhizus, DDS-1 Acidophilus, Bifidus, L. Bulgaricus, A. Brasilienese, B. Brenis, P. Chrysosporium, A. Citreus, L. Casei, P. Calcis, S. Cellulasae, P. Denitrificans, S. Faecium, S. Fradiae, P. Flourescens, A. Globiformis, S. Griseoflavus, P. Gelatic, B. Lipolyticum, A. Luteus, A. Lipoferum, A. Lwolfii, B. Laterosporous, P. Marinoglutinosa, , B. Macerans, P. Nigraclens, P. Putida, L. Plantarum, B. Pumilus, B. Polymyxa, B. Stationis, L. Salivarius, B. Subtilus, B. Succinogenes, A. Simplex, B. Subtilus, S. Thermopolis, A. Terreus, M. Verrucaria, T. Viride., K. Zopfit.</p>
<p>I simply mix a spoonful of it into water first thing in the morning and I can feel it kick in within 20 minutes.  It does provide a mild detoxing effect, so when I first started using it I began with a small amount and have gradually worked my way up to 2 tablespoons.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve seen a bottle of Vitamineral Green sell as high as $96, but $55 seems to be the average price for it.  I did a search on Google today and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=B000JIZ0Q2%26tag=custperfcomp-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/B000JIZ0Q2%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02" target="_blank">found the best price for it on Amazon.com </a>of all places.  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=B000JIZ0Q2%26tag=custperfcomp-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/B000JIZ0Q2%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02">CLICK HERE </a>to see for yourself.</p>
<p>YES &#8211; it&#8217;s great to get all my vegetables and cleansing grasses in my body first thing in the morning&#8230; and yes I am glad it has the algae&#8217;s like Chlorella and Spirulina, because I have read a lot of research about how beneficial they are.  I am also pleased that this incredible formula includes the actual enzymes that the body needs to break down these nutrients, and that it they are added in the exact amounts needed to prevent gas and bloating.   But the thing that I am most impressed with, is the Probiotic formula that is added.  I use to spend $50 a month on a bottle of  <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=B0001VL4A8%26tag=custperfcomp-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/B0001VL4A8%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02" target="_blank">Primal Defence Probiotic</a> alone, and now I get a more diverse probiotic, along with everything else (see above) for less than the cost of just the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html%3FASIN=B0001VL4A8%26tag=custperfcomp-20%26lcode=xm2%26cID=2025%26ccmID=165953%26location=/o/ASIN/B0001VL4A8%253FSubscriptionId=1N9AHEAQ2F6SVD97BE02" target="_blank">Primal Defense</a> alone!</p>
<p>For those of you who are not familiar, the word <strong>probiotic</strong> is derived from the Greek meaning &#8220;for life.&#8221;  (Side Note: Antibiotic translates into against life)</p>
<p>The human gastrointestinal tract is home to more than 400 types of resident probiotics, also known as &#8220;friendly&#8221; or beneficial bowel bacteria, gut microorganisms, or intestinal flora. These &#8220;friendly&#8221; microorganisms protect the GI tract and keep us healthy by protecting us from &#8220;unfriendly&#8221; microorganisms such as bacteria, parasites, viruses, yeasts, and fungi that cause disease. Probiotics also improve immune system function,  aid in digestion and provide a whole host of other health benefits.</p>
<p>I thought I should share this wonderful product with you&#8230;  my loyal readers of this site.  I highly recommend you try at least one bottle of this wonderful product.  You will feel the difference almost immediately.</p>
<p>Peace be with you,</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Life is a wonderful adventure and I for one am not ready to step off this planet any time soon. In fact, I see no reason why you and I can not live to see our 100th birthdays.</p>
<p><strong>Join me in me quest to become a Centenarian!</strong></p>
<p>A <strong>centenarian</strong> is a person who has attained the age of 100 years or more. Much rarer still are supercentenarian&#8217;s, who are people who live past the age of 110.</p>
<p>I came across this article on the BBC news site. <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7250675.stm" target="_blank">http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/magazine/7250675.stm<br />
</a></p>
<p>There are a lot of good tips in that article. The key point here is that we don&#8217;t have to invent a magic pill to make this happen; we simply need to do what other people in older-living regions are doing.</p>
<p>If you desire to live beyond your 100th birthday, <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/fiverituals/" target="_blank">you can make it happen</a>.</p>
<p><strong> Discover The 5 Tibetan Rites!</strong></p>
<p>These rites are the secret to actor Martin Sheen&#8217;s youthful appearance.   Martin Sheen uses these <a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/fiverituals/" target="_blank">ancient Tibetan Rituals</a> to maintain his youthful looks!</p>
<p>The Tibetan Rites are a series of short daily exercises that are said to have been used in a monastery hidden deep in the Himalayan Mountains.</p>
<p>It only takes ten minutes a day to perform the exercises.  There are 5 different routines and each one takes about 2 minutes.</p>
<p>When you begin using <a href="http:/eleven-eleven.biz/fiverituals/" target="_blank">The Five Rituals </a>, you will not actually do very many of each one.  This will give your body a chance to acclimate to the energy and new things you are doing to it.  After a few weeks you will notice positive changes in your body.</p>
<p>I feel stronger and more virile.  I swear that I actually am looking younger in my face, but I don&#8217;t spend a lot of time studying my face, so I can not say for certain.  Several people have told me that I have some sort of &#8220;glow about me&#8221;.</p>
<p>If it works for Martin Sheen and it and works for me, it should work for you too!</p>
<p><a href="http://eleven-eleven.biz/fiverituals/" target="_blank">Check It Out Here</a>  &#8211;  You can look and feel younger in just a few weeks.</p>
