  Apples promote weight loss, strengthen your immune system, aid in preventing cancer, lower cholesterol, prevent tooth decay, improve liver and lung function, are low in calories and taste great. So eat an apple everyday. Bored? Hungry? Tired? Eat an apple!

The point of this one is to add more fruits and vegetables to your diet if you want to lose weight. You can eat fruits and vegetables all day long and not get fat.

You should eat more fruits and vegetables than anything else when trying to lose weight. Make sure the fruits and vegetables you are eating are 100% organic. Fruits and vegetables grown conventionally are sprayed with herbicides and pesticides. When you eat these fruits and vegetables these poisonous toxins then go directly into your body. These toxins are then stored in your body fat making it harder for you to lose weight! So be sure to eat organic and don’t spoil your weight-loss efforts by putting toxins in.

Vegetables are low in fat, low in calories, provide us with fiber and give us extra energy. All these features help control weight effectively. Being low in calories enables us to eat lots of vegetables without consuming excess energy; the high fiber content also helps fill the stomach faster, limiting the total amount of food consumed. The vitamins in vegetables supply the body with the nutrients necessary to boost energy production within the muscle cells. This gives us a natural feeling of vitality and the energy to become more active, which in turn helps us to burn more calories every day.

Vegetables are also low in sodium so they help reduce water weight. Sodium is present in most processed foods, causing the body to retain water and hold onto extra weight. Eating more vegetables and less sodium helps control your weight more effectively.

The best fruits and vegetables (for weight loss) to integrate into your diet are:

Grapefruit: Helps to detoxify your liver, and the enzymes in it help you burn more fat.

Apples: Works as an appetite suppressant and helps maintain consistent blood sugar levels.

Carrots: Contain large amounts of beta-carotene, soluble fiber and vitamin A. Try making carrot ginger soup. It is delicious, filling and great for your body.

Lemons: Detoxifies the liver, aids in digestion and helps flush out toxins. Try adding lemon to your water every time you drink.

Blackberries: Low in calories, the insoluble fiber helps digestion and which helps eliminate toxins faster.

Bananas: With vitamin B and carbohydrates, bananas provide an extra energy boost. Great snack to have before a work-out!

Wake Up Every Morning Full Of Energy

Monday, May 5th, 2008

By Hans Thorn

  Imagine yourself wakening up every morning full of energy and ready for the challenges of the day. Lots of exciting things are happening and you manage them with success. You turn around the negative to the positive and with the positive you create balance and success within all areas. Would not this be wonderful?

This scenario could be yours, but the question is: Does your life look like this? Most likely most people would like to have a life like this, but the reality for many people is not as positive as the scenario above. A lot of people struggle with bad finances, bad health and bad relationships. How come?

No-one is born with a negative approach or negative thoughts of herself. However, when the years pass by, a lot of people create a negative pattern of thoughts that leads to negative feelings, which always leads to poor results. There is nothing wrong with that and it is pure naturally if you understand the law of cause and effect, where every effect has a cause and every cause has an effect.

The reason for that we think positively or negatively about ourselves and what we can accomplish is to a large extent shaped of what we have seen, experienced and heard as a child. If you have grown up surrounded by harmony, the chances that you have life balance are greater than what you would have had if you had grown up under tougher circumstances. Maybe it sounds unfair, and maybe it is, but you cannot change the past.

However, you can change what you think and feel about yourself now. What has been programmed in your past can be replaced with a new program where you get positive results, all according to the law of cause and effect.

How is this done? The first thing we need to do is to let go of the emotional connection to what causes poor results. To let go of everything that is negative and forgive those who might have done this. Not so much for their sake as for you to be able to be free from the strong bounds that creates your unwished results.

When you then feel free and released from the negative, it is time to program your brain with your dream scenario with assistance of new messages, for example:

1. I love myself

2. I am running a successful business

3. I have many excellent relationships

Read your sentences 10 times each morning and evening during three weeks and continue thereafter with new positive sentences that you want to experience. This will become you new cause and the results will be positive and totally different from your previous results.
