Colon Matters
Colon cancer is one of the easiest cancers to prevent!
Don't need expensive bowel cleansing programs, just need to apply some common sense in combination with the taking advantage of ancient wisdom.
First, need to look at lifestyle and need to eliminate as many processed foods as you can. These foods have no fiber and get stuck in the body.
Second, realize the bowels need moisture to work properly and can have all the fiber in the world, but if don't have moisture in the bowels, then the fiber can't do very much. So need to make sure drinking lots of water, such as juice, tea, coffee, sodas, etc all do not constitute as water...need water and water by itself, the best juice to cleanse your colon is Water! Although tea has water in it, once turn it into tea, the constitution has changed and the body no longer recognizes the tea as water. This same rule applies to juice, sodas, etc.
Third, foods that are high in yang (hot) energy will naturally burn the moisture from the body. So even if drink lots of water, if have too much yang energy, then the water is burned up by the yang energy. Foods that are high in yang energy include, but are not limited to, deep fried foods, BBQ / grilled foods, alcohol and other foods like green peppers, garlic, ginger, spicy foods, etc.
What you need is to ensure you are drinking lots of water, getting sufficient fiber by eating whole foods and/or even taking a fiber supplement... not eating too many yang foods while having foods that are slightly more yin (cooling) so the moisture stays in the bowels. But if have too much yin energy then instead of constipation, will have loose bowel movements and even bowel movements that appear diarrhea like in nature.
Licorice tea is excellent for helping to bring moisture to the bowels. Additionally, the yogis of India say that licorice creates a scent that attracts women (possibly another bonus!). Drink green tea instead of coffee... green tea has a slight cooling effect on the body whereas coffee is a factor in constipation.
When it comes to vegetables, the best vegetables to juice to clean your colon are those that have a yin or cooling ability. Constipation indicates your body is too hot. More than juice, what need to do is think of some foods to eat to help cleanse the bowels. Apples, melons and papaya are some fruits that come to mind to help cleanse the bowels. Papaya is a great cleanser but wouldn't have it all the time because papaya can also create too much dampness in the body.
Eat vegetables like carrots, corn, squash, bamboo shoots and definitely eat some zucchini (or any squash for that matter), one of the best natural cleansers is zucchini though. Beets also do good too. Beets can really help to purge the bowels of old fecal matter but don't be surprised if bowel movements or urine turn red after eating beets. But would focus less on juicing and more on the foods you eat because that way you get fiber too.
Sure, the vegetables juice will have an impact, but it's diet and lifestyle that will have the biggest impact on constipation, cleaning and preventing fecal matter from compacting within the colon. You will know when your body has enough moisture in the bowels and fiber because the bowels movements will be relatively easy and the actual bowel movement itself will create a coil like shape. Eliminate those hot (yang) foods, incorporate some cooling foods and eat some whole grains such as beetroot, brown rice, beetroot juice .
Believe it or not, but cold drinks and cold foods make body hot, thus burning up moisture in the body, can lead to constipation. The reason is because when have something cold, while it may be refreshing to mouth, as soon as it lands in stomach, stomach needs to warm the food or drink. To do this, the body pushes lots blood to your stomach. Of course, this then robs other parts of your body of blood. But it also robs body of moisture. Cold foods and drinks should be avoided.
Please also remember that the colon is a muscle. When have old fecal matter stuck in colon, it becomes like cement along colon wall. It prevents the colon muscle from squeezing. In turn, this contributes to a lazy (weak) colon which in turn makes the constipation issue worse.
So want to ensure drinking enough water because that's what really begins to allow the old fecal matter to be removed. It's not a quick process to clean out the colon, but it is not a difficult thing to do either.
Constipation is more of a lifestyle issue... juice has an impact, but if fail to fix the lifestyle, the constipation will just continue. Just make some of the minor changes / adjustments above and sure will notice a huge difference.
One last thought, try to get to sleep early...around 10 PM is good... 11 PM is acceptable, but any time go to sleep after midnight, make body hot by stressing the hormones and adrenal glands, meaning burn more moisture in the body.
Ultimately, become aware of the visible and hidden factors that lead to constipation.
Live Stem Cells
Very true that Western medication just controlled the topical symptoms and most likely it is not a cure for the root cause of the disease.
Who wants to be a lifelong customer of any pharma companies?
Break the chain that these companies put around your neck so that they can continue to milk you as a cash cow. Why does anyone in their right mind want to continue to be pharma slaves when there are alternatives????
Confessions of a pharmaceutical executive…. Watch this EXCELLENT video.
Live stem cells are very effective against all degenerative diseases (cancer, stroke, diabetes, Alzheimer, Parkinson's, heart diseases, hypertension, degenerative disc disease causing back pain, muscular degeneration causing loss of vision, etc) as all the organs and tissues heal cell by cell by rejuvenation through reverse aging.
Western medications just control the symptoms and the disease will get progressively worse as we aged until one day it goes out of control.
Live stem cells therapy heals the body holistically inside out...you continue to grow younger and the body ability to heal any degenerative diseases improves tremendously as your immune system is boosted.

何谓健康减肥餐？
何谓健康减肥餐？
想和朋友们分享。。。
英文有一句俗话“You Are What You Eat”。意思是吃什么样的食物将塑造什么样的身材及外型。曾经有位客户误信红萝卜对减肥有效就每天灌了6杯的红萝卜汁，结果减肥失败而肤色变橙黄色，活像一个能走路的萝卜！
市面上的减肥餐琳琅满目，不可不防！巧克力减肥餐、 包菜塑身汤、蜜糖减肥法、某女明星瘦身餐等等比比皆是。其实，健康减肥饮食计划只有3个简单的步骤。
1. 均衡的饮食 - 不偏食，应用马来西亚食物金字塔以获得各种食物的营养。少油、少脂肪、少糖份及少盐份；摄取适量的蛋白质例如鱼类、豆类、肉类、家禽及鸡蛋；尽量多吃新鲜的蔬菜。少饮用纤维含量低的果汁；多选择全谷类、糙米饭、麦片、薯类及全麦面包。
2. 减少卡路里(Calorie)的摄取 - 卡路里提供你身体生存所需的能量。饮食治疗师会协助你从每日的饮食减掉500 卡路里， 以达到瘦身的效果。
3. 不节食 - 节食会使新陈代谢率缓慢且引发胃病、营养失调等生理问题。
Q1. 人家说吃饭会肥。我试了7天不吃饭，只吃蛋白质及菜就放弃了，因为老是饿。由于饿肚子，我间中吃了很多小零食例如巧克力及饼干。体重也不见得有下且胃风多了。请你指点迷津。谢谢。
在此要纠正这个减肥误区，吃饭并不会肥！摄取适量的糙米饭会给予饱足感以减少食用不必要的小点心或零食。它们可能含有很多的脂肪及糖分，对减肥没有帮助。
Q2. 我阅读杂志关于某台湾流行天后只吃水煮蔬菜及鸡胸肉瘦身，滴油不粘，可行吗？
健康减肥餐中也包含少量的油份或脂肪。脂肪过量才会带来坏处。脂肪对生命和健康极为重要。它是主要维他命如A、D、E及K的运输者。此外，脂肪在身体免疫系统，荷尔蒙如雌激素的生产和储存皆扮演重要的角色。
