You've probably heard about the benefits of meditation, but did you know that a regular meditation practice may help you fall asleep or sleep more deeply?
Meditation is not as complicated as you might think. In fact, there are a number of simple ways to meditate — gazing at a candle flame, sitting alone in a quiet space, or following a guided meditation DVD or podcast.
If you're up for it, consider taking a seminar about meditation and its benefits. Besides learning a particular type of meditation, you can also ask questions and learn more about how meditation has affected others.
The most convenient aspect of meditation is that you can do it anytime, anyplace, and for as long or as briefly as you want — just five minutes can provide results.
Plus, it costs nothing; all you need is a quiet location and time to be relaxed and alone with your thoughts!
With time, you may notice that your regular meditation practice has some additional benefits. It may help alleviate feelings of stress, depression, or anxiety, and it may even lower your blood pressure.
With all those benefits, what do you have to lose?
Feel great!

Lose weight Fast and Easy
Dieting Myth’s YOU Are STILL Falling For…
There are so many dieting myths and even more programs out there that give you inaccurate information on how to lose weight.
The Following DIETS DO NOT WORK and are PLAIN BAD FOR YOU!
Eating Low Carbs
You have probably tried low-carb, Atkins-style diets, or at least heard of them.
These diets do not work.
They are much too strict, not sustainable, and make your life miserable as your body does not function properly without carbs causing headaches, irritability and loss of sleep.
Low carb diets will actually cause you to gain weight after the initial weight loss.
Low Fat Diets
You know all these so called “low fat” foods that are sold in your local supermarket?
These foods are typically calorie ridden and will actually make you gain more weight!
This is just one of the fallacies that we will uncover for you! Low fat foods DO NOT equal weight loss.
Starvation Diet
Your Body requires food to function. Losing weight the wrong way by not eating is actually worse for you than gaining weight. If you think that following diets that tell you to eat very little, drink only liquids, or something else that seems “crazy”, don’t do it. It will affect the way your brain functions and slow your metabolism down to a GRINDING HALT!
You CANNOT lose weight and stay healthy by starving yourself of nutrition.
Following Pre-package Diet Programs
These foods are worse for you than foods you can make from your own home. Not only that, pre-packaged food diets (like Jenny Craig) can cost you up to $500 per month to maintain!
That is more than most families spend on groceries in an entire month. How does this make sense?
Hollywood Diets
The only diet that seems popular in Hollywood is the one where the actors and actresses forget to eat. There are also the ridiculous “cookie” diets, secret potion “syrup and water’ diets... Let’s get real, these people are not like us and they do not need the nutrition that a normal person needs to maintain a healthy weight.
So, if all of these diets don't work, what does it take to strip unwanted fat from your body?
...And Why the Heck Are YOU Still Overweight?
Do YOU eat the wrong foods?
Do YOU sneak into McDonalds for a late night meal?
Do YOU eat during the wrong times of the day?
Do YOU eat empty calories while watching your favorite TV Show?
How about exercise, do YOU forget to walk your dog?
Notice that 4 of the items were related to food and only one was exercise. This is because diet is 80% of the battle, and exercise is only 20%.
Most overweight people get enough exercise, but what they “eat” prevents them from getting that fit, healthy waistline!
The food you eat will either make you lose weight or gain weight.
Conventional wisdom has always told us to eat our breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday, however there is more to it than this…and actually eating 3 big meals per day is not good for our body.
What if we told you that you could burn more calories and have a better metabolism simply by eating more often? How do 5 meals a day sound?
Well, this is the truth. If you eat smaller meals and eat the right foods, you can actually eat more and lose more weight!
Sounds strange, but our bodies are very complex and if you understand your body, you can truly manipulate your metabolism for speedy and sustainable weight loss!

Does this common substance make you fat?
I wanted to talk about artificial sweeteners today because I've noticed that there's a lot of confusion and misconceptions revolving around these non-caloric sweeteners.
Artificial sweeteners and the huge list of products sweetened with them are marketed to you relentlessly as "healthy foods" or "healthier" than sugar or corn syrup sweetened products. But are they really?
Just to clarify, some of the most popular artificial sweeteners on the market today are:
Splenda (sucralose)AspartameSaccharineAcesulfame Potassium (aka - acesulfame K)
These artificial sweeteners are used in abundance in almost every "diet" drink, "lite" yogurts, puddings, and ice creams, most "low-carb" products, and almost all "reduced-sugar" products. Heck, even most protein powders are loaded with artificial sweeteners too (just look on the ingredients and you'll usually see one or more of them).
Splenda is probably one of the worst offenders of claiming to be "healthy" as they say that it's made from real sugar. Don't be fooled! It's still an artificial substance. What they don't tell you is that Splenda is actually a chemically modified substance where chlorine is added to the chemical structure, making it more similar to a chlorinated pesticide than something we should be eating or drinking.
The truth is that artificial sweeteners are not even close to being healthy, and as you'll discover in a minute, can easily be just as bad for you, if not worse, than sugar or corn syrup. Most people think that they are doing something good for themselves by choosing the "diet" drinks or "lite" yogurts compared to the sugar-laden versions, but the problem is that you're exposing yourself to a whole new set of problems with the artificially sweetened drinks and foods.
I know you're probably frustrated by all of the contradicting messages you hear each day about which foods are good for you and which are bad. I'm sure just today you probably saw some clever ad or commercial somewhere screaming health benefits for a food product that is loaded with artificial sweeteners. Don't worry.
Just stick with me and I'll get past the marketing hype for you and decipher the truth. I'll also give you some ideas for great alternatives to artificial sweeteners as well as alternatives to sugar or corn syrup sweeteners.
The fact is, artificial sweeteners vs. sugar or corn syrup is really just a battle between two evils.
Which evil is worse?
I'm sure you already know the problems with sugar or high fructose corn syrup sweetened products. The excess empty calories, blood sugar spike, and resulting insulin surge this creates in your body not only promotes fat gain, but also stimulates your appetite further, making things even worse.
On the other hand, artificial sweeteners save you calories, but there's growing evidence that they can increase your appetite for sweets and other carbohydrates causing you to eat more later in the day anyway. Therefore, you don't really save any calories at all. Also, studies have shown that artificial sweeteners can stimulate high insulin levels in your body too, which again can promote fat storage.
All of the 4 artificial sweeteners listed above are nasty chemicals that the human body is simply not meant to ingest. However, most of us are ingesting a whole lot of these chemicals on a daily basis.
Aside from the problems I touched on so far, other health issues that have been related to artificial sweeteners in scientific studies as well as observations are:
some have been linked to potential cancer risks
negative effects on the liver, kidneys, and other organs
stimulating cravings
gastrointestinal problems
developmental problems in children and fetuses
headaches
and too many more issues to list
Now some of the above potential health problems are definitely not proven as fact in studies. However, some of them have been shown in animal studies given high doses. Regardless of the fact that any real health problems for actual human use are not proven yet, I don't know about you, but I'd rather protect myself and steer clear of these possibly dangerous artificial chemicals.
Of course, despite all of the health issues potentially associated with artificial sweeteners, the companies that sell the products will continue to claim that they are fully safe and they have studies that prove that they are safe. The bottom line is that the body was not designed to deal with foreign substances like artificial sweeteners. Take my word on that one.
So what are your options for alternatives? Well, your best alternatives for sugar or corn syrup are either raw honey, organic maple syrup, or even a little-known high antioxidant syrup called sorghum syrup (common in the southern US).
Even though these alternatives still have the same amount of calories as sugar or corn syrup... honey, organic maple syrup, and sorghum syrup actually provide some nutrients and antioxidants, so it's not just empty calories. Empty calories stimulate your appetite more because your body is lacking nutrients.
Now you're probably thinking that you'd like to still save on calories but avoid the nasty artificial sweeteners. Good news... You can!
You've probably seen me reference this natural sweetener in a lot of my recipes. It's called Stevia. I've been using it for years as an alternative sweetener when you still want to save a little on calories and sugar.
Stevia is not artificial like the other chemical sweeteners I mentioned above. Stevia is a natural non-caloric herb. It is a South American herb and when dried into a powder, has a sweetness about 200-300 times stronger than sugar.
One problem I've noticed with using Stevia is that the pure powder is a very powerful sweetener, so you can easily use too much. However, I've found some good Stevia products that use a bulking agent added so that you can measure out the stevia powder in direct comparison to measuring sugar.
I've yet to see any negative reports or health concerns regarding stevia and only positive potential health benefits. I definitely give Stevia my seal of approval. Do yourself a favor (and your family), and if you are currently an artificial sweetener junkie, please consider switching to stevia.
One of the best products I've found over the years is made by a company called Steviva. They have an excellent stevia product blended with another natural sweetener called erythritol. I suggest giving it a try! Just look for the "Steviva Blend".
You can use it in your coffee or tea, to sweeten up plain yogurt, added to smoothies for extra sweetness, on cereals or oatmeal, in baking, or where ever else you might need a sweetener but want to reduce the sugar content.
If you want to grab some, here's the link:

Well, that's it for today.

Try This Slammin' Salmon!
Quick & Light
Try This Slammin' Salmon!
I'm always surprised when people tell me that they won't eat fish.
It's one of my all-time favorite foods because it's so lean, delicious, and versatile.
I like monkfish, cod, and halibut — actually, all of the firm, white-fleshed fish — and also bluefish and mackerel, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids and have a different taste. And I especially love salmon. I buy it fresh, frozen, and canned — the latter is also high in calcium. I recommend serving this dish with some fresh, steamed green beans or zucchini.
Teriyaki Salmon With Scallion-Cucumber Relish
Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds skinless salmon fillets, in four equal portions 1 cup chopped cucumber, preferably hothouse 1/4 cup sliced green onions 1/4 cup slivered fresh basil leaves 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar Pinch of salt 2 tablespoons prepared teriyaki glaze
Preparation
Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a shallow nonstick baking pan with cooking spray.
Rinse the fillets with cold water and pat dry.
Place in the pan. Bake for 8 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the cucumber, green onions, basil, vinegar, and salt; set aside.
Brush the salmon with the teriyaki glaze. Bake for 3 to 4 minutes more, or until the salmon is opaque in the center. Serve with the cucumber mixture on the side.
Makes 4 servings
Per serving: 220 calories, 3g carbohydrates, 29g protein, 9g total fat, 80mg cholesterol,
0g dietary fiber, 450mg sodium
I wish everyone the best of luck and SERIOUSLY RECOMMEND THIS.
