Great list, I will borrow from your list. I like 7, 8, and 9.
where can you get hair mineral analysis?

Haha cool, i love dry skin brushing for stimulating the lymphatic system and rebounding is also great for the same. Two very powerful tools for keeping the lymph from becoming sluggish.

Theres only a few places that are good for hair mineral analysis from what ive researched. The ARL is the place which doesn't pre-wash the hair as far as i know its the best.

I just seen you added this to your post. Meditation is great isn't it ?

Ive been doing it for a few years now but still feel like im a beginner. I am really enjoying Lilian Edens guided meditations on youtube at the moment, nothing switchs off my sympathetic nervous system better than these meditation videos.

Deep slow breathing is also another great tool for switching off the sympathetic fight of flight branch of the nervous system.

Its this stress response which stops many people from healing, they stay in a constant cycle of fight of flight stimulation also known as sympathetic dominance. The body needs to be in a rested parasympathetic state to support digestion, elimination, recovery and healing.

Very important, too many doctors overlook autonomic nervous system balance unfortunately.

Is strength training basically lifting weights? I have a lot to learn, as you can see...

Every year I always try to make each year better and since I’m turning 60 this year, I’m going to spend a little more time with the weights to prove to people that there is plenty of Protein in a Raw Vegan Diet.

As far as the Hair Analysis, I usually don’t take what Doug says about a lot of things seriously because it’s obvious that he is quick to pooh-pooh things he clearly has NOT researched, but I’ve always been intrigued by his comment below and to this day I still have not tried to confirm or deny this statement. Every day I learn so much that I dig a deeper hole I’ll never get out of because the more you know - the more you know you don’t know, hence the Socratic Irony.

So if anyone can shed more light on Hair Analysis, I’d appreciate it keeping in mind that if Doug really spoke with the originator of the system and was a teacher of his, it’s hard to dispute what the originator of the system has to say.

He was a teacher of mine back in school. He says it is a waste of time, you can't tell if what's in the hair is because there is too much in the body, or if because it is in the hair there is not enough in the body, or if there is none in the hair whether it's because there shouldn't be or there should be.

Strength training is just any exercise which goal is to increase the strength of muscles and often power.

Most often than not, free weights are used for this goal and the usual compound movements such as bench press, squat, deadlift, bent over rows, dips, over-head presses etc are the usual common multi-joint/muscle exercises used to increase functional strength.

Isolation exercises such as bicep curls etc are virtually useless when it comes to increasing functional strength.

Thats not to say that free weights are necessary, if you don't have access to a gym or equipment then there are plenty of methods to increase strength, you just have to be a little crafty.

One way is manipulating the leverage of bodyweight exercises. For example instead of the regular squat, you can try one legged pistol squats. These are very difficult to execute and require a high degree of stabilization and muscular strength to complete the movement.

One arm push ups are another way of making the regular push up harder. Handstand pushups are nother way of hitting the shoulder and triceps hard via a bodyweight no equipment needed exercise. Proper dips are also a great bodyweight pushing exercise for hitting the triceps, pectoral and shoulder muscles, you can add weighted belt to increase the resistance.

Pull/Chin-Ups are another compound exercse which involve the biceps/back mostly, you can add the same dipping belt to these, to increase resistance.

Multi-joint/muscle compound movements are what you want to focus on for increasing strength and functional fitness. These movements are replicated in real life.

Hair tissue mineral analysis is not 100%, a soft tissue mineral analysis is about as good as you will get for a reliable body level of these metals.

However it is invasive and rarely done. Hair tissue mineral analysis can be very helpful, is relatively cheap but shouldn't be relied on alone for diagnostic purposes.

No just weight. [www.fitsugar.com]

If you join a gym you will find so many choices for strength training.
There are many you can do on your own at home with little equipment

* More meditation
* More exercise
* Regular enemas and implants.

www.thesproutarian.com

Less food. More meditation.

1. Growing a variety of grasses and sprouts (and juicing them)

2. Spending more time out in nature, can't wait to go up to my family's cabin, just myself and my Siberian husky, so secluded and just learned there's a few wild apple trees on the property and a few other 'goodies' I can't remember.

3. More running and resistance exercise

4. More sessions of colon hydrotherapy

5. Obtaining my bachelor's degree in Holistic Nutrition, moving on to master's.

6. Meditation

7. Staying hydrated on coconut/distilled water, not getting lazy with it

8. Systematic undereating

Love them all. 7 is out of my reach.

Why's that?

Not near any raw coconut. And I am not into distilled water.
I will definitely do 3. I am into exercise but not doing running.

Why not into distilled water? There are a lot of myths surrounding it, and this is intentional.. check out this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=iO57B0vrDJU, Andrew Norton Webber also provides a lot of interesting insight and addresses the myths and benefits of distilled water.

Exotic Superfoods sells coconut water, although quite expensive (http://www.exoticsuperfoods.com/collections/all)

I resolve to get more bang for the buck out my exercise time and equipment by incorporating adaptations like these...

[www.youtube.com]

But in most gyms you cannot altered an equipment.

I got one of these things,
[www.amazon.com], which I really like. When you use it on the power plate though - it's makes for a killer workout! For me at least.

Great thanks for sharing. Will try to get one.

Thanks for the link! Gym? Not. I don't like them at all. I would much rather exercise in the fresh air.

Me either, everyone walking around smelling like toxic deodorants and sprays, toxic cleaning products used on everything, mainstream music, no fresh air, high amounts of EMF's, etc.

the great outdoors

is the best gymnasium

swing on a tree branch

lift some boulders LOL

or pebbles

swim in the lake ( chlorine free... but other stuff might be in it)

good sun for your vit D

good air for your cell oxygenation

good spirits ( to keep u in good spirits)

hiking

is fun

raw resolutions? - eat more raw olives

oh my gossssssssh i LOVE raw sundried olives


maybe i ought to grow an olive tree but i hear they take forever

i like the really dark juicy blackish high mineral olives

they are heavenly

Where do you get raw olive?

raw practicalist

well, its been a while

but at a health food store

they used to have it ... it was a mom pop shop

then they closed down

but it was from a raw company ( forget the name)

so yeah, it was in a jar

i didn't just swipe it from a neighbors' yard ( though i would if given permission

anyhow

those black olives

really are pretty unique in taste

i like that they have a lot of minerals

plus its just yummy

You can find those raw black Puruvian olives even on Amazon. It will probably take me several more years to get through the half pound of them. I have to be really hungry to trick myself into eating them and even then I usually transfer them to the floor for the dog who usually snorts loudly and walks away from them too.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA H HA!!!!

hey SUEZ

you just made my day

soooo FUNNNYY

but ... ummm...

what is WRONg with your dog?

just kidding

that's what happens when u get too much of a good thing all at once

bow wow!
