NEW SECTION :: Body Armor for Warding Off Microwaves and House EMF Current
Chemtrails and HAARP cause the ambient level of EMF and ELF to rise to the level that causes muscle cramping, insomia, tinnitis, heart irregularities (and "allergies"), panic attacks and profound digestive disturbances. Why do you think there are so many over-the-counter remedies for these disorders?
Okay, here are some steps you can take to minimize the effects of ambient electrical fields on your body's delicate electronic cell systems.
And that is my latest and best advice, if you want to keep going in this world run by madmen.
For the last couple of centuries--two different methods for "study" have predominated: scientific and empirical.
In the scientific method, control is kept over every factor involved in the scientist's observations, and the purpose of an experiment is to generalize about and duplicate the results.
In empirical science, however--practiced for thousands of years in India and China--cause/effect relationships have merely been observed, correlated and recorded in their natural settings, as they have arisen.
Neither is there a need to CONTROL the factors involved, nor is there need to DUPLICATE the results; merely are tendencies NOTED.
Of course, differentiating among metabolic types is preposterous to an allopathic physician, because s/he wants to focus on blood lipids, or some other SPECIFIC factor, not general tendencies.
I find general human tendencies useful, however. Most people seem to exhibit a combination of tendencies, which generally means they are omnivores (eat almost anything). But there are exceptions, and exceptions are important, because these are people who are discovering their physiological limits.
It's certainly very common that different people in the same family have very different metabolic needs. The household cook needs to keep some Universal Principles in mind. Here are simple cosmic principles that govern thriving human bodies with good food; just as there are simple cosmic principles which govern Justice.
NOTES:
METABOLIC TYPE I first ran into the following "test" in an enlarged, book version done by Dr. Richard Kelley (Kelley Institute, Chicago)
for use by patients in his cancer practice. Later, I discovered an Ayurvedic source that enlarged it. It's helpful to focus on the issues in the test by placing a ruler under each line as you consider whether or not any of the values on that line apply to you.

THE EXPERIENCE OF GLUT Lifestyle is everything. Cumulative practices of All Humans on a planet mean the difference between Sustainability and Suffering. The Abiding with Favor Norm for individuals, to eat a simple diet permitting meat only one day per week, is The Way that Sustainability can be assured for a Whole Planet. This Doctrine promotes fair distribution of food, prevents suffering from disease, and preserves the lives of countless animals. Moreover, the practice of mostly-abstaining from meat teaches Every Individual the principle of Economy: that Every Good Thing consumed is Gone Forever. Thanks be to God.---Shechainah, 11/22/95
In the present context of Food Glut in the United States, Nutrition, like any other branch of economics, is seen both from micro and macro viewpoints.
That is to say, studies are done from two opposing points of view: How a single nutrient affects a single individual and How norms are created for all people eating all diets.
The way this conflict plays out is "Dietetics" versus "Holistic practitioners."
You hear it all the time. Someone claims: "Selenium prevents cancer." (You see, they did a study on a few individuals which may have led to that belief.)
Then the dietetic community retorts: "Let's see you PROVE that it works for EVERYBODY." And, of course, the first researchers can't prove that; so they sell out their discovery to the community which believes that individuals are chemically unique, and that if a nutrient works for anyone, then it has value: to the health food industry.
In this context it is not unusual for the allopathic & scientific communities--who believe all along that if a nutrient requirement isn't normative (that is, statistically applicable to 65% of the population), it's not "real"-- Outrage is invoked and the charge is made that the health food industry practices quackery and fraud, to prevent them from "cashing in" on research. And so it goes.
The scientific community sincerely believes that: if it doesn't work for everybody, it doesn't work. And the holistic community believes: "If it works for anybody, it has value."
To some extent each group is both right and both wrong.
This conflict puts all consumers of food in a bind. Here's these two legitimate branches of science screaming 'foul' at each other.
So, let us get past that problem. Just grow your own food.
OVERCOMING POOR EATING HABITS Life consists of cycles: work, play, sleep, eat, digest, think, feast, famine, haste, watch.
One purpose food needs to serve is to assist you to feel like doing what needs to be done at the moment.
Has it ever happened to you that you have attended an "important" party, and the foods you ate made you so groggy that all you wanted to do was sleep?
Have you ever awakened at 2 in the morning, and could not get back to sleep for love or money?
Do you ever get sleepy at 4 p.m. when your work deadlines need to be met?
The solution to these kinds of problem lies in planning for meals that have an Integrity of their own: Let's use our heads and nourish our bodies as if we matter to ourselves.
The human digestive system mobilizes enzymes and disperses nutrients via the blood and lymph circulatory systems.
Since a lymph system doesn't operate very well when a person is just sitting (since it only pumps when the leg muscles force lymph through its one-way valve system), the blood circulatory system is easily overloaded when a person eats a large meal and doesn't take a walk or move around.
The more breakdown products required for a meal, the more of the circulatory system has to be harnessed to the task. When a significant portion of the circulatory system is concentrating on a task in the stomach area, the brain gets short-changed, ergo, you get sleepy. Thus it makes sense to do everything you can to make digestive work EASY for your body, so you can get on with your other mental/emotional tasks, thoughts, problems, circumstances, without too much interruption.
Too Much Cooked Food In raw food, there are protein/enzymes which can actually accomplish a significant part of the nutrient breakdown into blood-circulating-sized pieces. That's why eating raw food results in getting satisfied quicker, with less food; because available enzymes can go to work on What's There without the body's assistance.
Enzymes also accomplish the breakdown of protein-encapsulated waste so it can be eliminated from the body, to keep the immunological system in good working order.
Incompatible FoodsIn order to digest proteins, you need strong hydrochloric acid, which is found in the stomach. However, in order to digest carbohydrates, sugards and starches, you need an alkaline solution called amylase which is found in saliva and is also secreted from the pancreas (a banana-shaped gland cuddled under your liver).
Remember Chemistry One A? What happens when you mix an acid and an alkali together?
Right. You get SALT PLUS WATER. And what does salt plus water digest? Right. NOTHING. It just sits there like a lump.
SO, NEVER eat protein and carbs together, because that combination provides a nearly insurmountable wad of indigestible stuff for the stomach to work on.
And then most of your blood goes, not to your brain; it goes to digest your food and you feel exhausted.
THE GLUTTED AMERICAN FOOD ECONOMYPeople are tempted to eat virtually every minute of their waking lives by advertisements, restaurants, food stores, the home refrigerator and our mother/mates. Moreover, due to advertising overkill, the gap between what science tells us about nutrition and what people practice is getting wider. Few of us lead scientifically analyzed lives.
In the matter of eating, most people opt for what they like and what they're used to. Moreover, foods that once were biological luxuries (sweets, salts and fats) are now plentiful enough and attractive enough to be really hazardous.
Modern society has altered the way people naturally eat, and there's too much rich food in the marketplace for those who have money.
People must persist and make some serious decisions about how much of what foods is safe to eat, because avoiding these decisions places every individual and family in peril.
Knowledge has given everyone some controls over nature. People no longer have to stalk prey or wait for edibles to sprout, blossom or fruit. Instead, food is always at hand, and plenty has its own problems.
The Four Food Groups, when eaten in equal portions, provides a diet with three times as much fat as the body is designed to carry and three times as much protein (which is acid-forming) as the body can comfortably buffer and process.
There are no quick and easy answers, because the human body is better adapted to fasting than it is to feasting.
Depleted Enzyme stores Enzymes are specially-shaped proteins (like keys) that wake up and unlock molecules in human cells unless they are heated. Naturally occurring, they cause more than 150,000 bodily biochemical reactions to occur; and therefore, they empower every organ, gland, tissue, and cell of the body to function.
Science once believed that, since we produce enzymes internally, that we could never run out of them. It is now known that is not true.
Eat as many enzyme-rich foods as you can, organic, unprocessed, uncooked; and you will notice right away the difference you feel in satiety; your food will fill you up faster, because your body will be able to wring more out of it.
Some simple foods to provide your enzymes are: raw pineapple [remove rind and core and blend, as is, into a frothy shake]; mango [remove rind, squeeze pulp off the stone, and blend into a fruit pudding]; avocado [guacamole is a wonderful butter-substitute]; fresh fruits in season; bee-pollen and honey; fresh squeezed orange juice [regardless of the price]; fresh or frozen berries; and all kinds of sprouted seeds.
Some people are more comfortable with lots of raw foods than others; but TRY to eat half your food raw.
Why not eat nothing but fruits and vegetables one day a week when they are plentiful and inexpensive?
Macrobiotics are based on Intelligent Combining of Foods: Stick to these rules because they work.
What are proteins made of? How are they used?
The cells of a living body are like water balloons filled with Jello. After you take out the 60% water, you're left with an outer membrane (the balloon), thousands and thousands of protein beads called ENZYMES, some dissolved fats, sugars and minerals, bony strands and structures. The outer protein membrane also has FATS imbedded in it.
The inner protein beads are used in the cell:
When there are surpluses of protein and other nutrients are inadequate, then the protein is burned for energy with a nitrogen-byproduct called UREA, which needs to be eliminated by the kidneys.
The more protein that is eaten, the more nitrogen must be eliminated. The body is able to store an excess of fatty foods or starches or sugars; people who overeat them just get fat. But the body has no capability at all to store excess protein.
Nitrogen that isn't utilized in cell-rebuilding MUST decompose into three toxic acids: indol, skatol and phenol, and these STINK.
While an excess of protein often gives the illusion of feeling better, it is because the protein overload forces the bodily machinery to work harder and faster; and the speed with which an organism utilizes and excretes substances in protein metabolism is the speed at which the body grows older [greater turnover results in faster aging].
If the nitrogen builds up, the body becomes toxic. That's why people whose kidneys don't work will die unless they get regularly hooked up to a dialysis machine, which acts as an artificial filter for nitrogen by-products.
And due to nitrogen by-products, it's definitely not a good idea to eat too much protein over a long period without flushing the kidneys with lots of (8 glasses per day) water.
Too much protein would amount to 70 grams for a sedentary person (two glasses of milk plus 6 oz. of meat) or twice that for a 26-miler.
There's a saying: If a little is good, more is better. THAT doesn't apply to protein.
Rebalancing your pH with diet alone
Eating lots of protein provides lots of new spaces to hold toxins, so one's immunity "improves" at the cost of increasing one's acid imbalance.
On the other hand, eating mostly fruits and vegetables (alkaline-forming foods) causes the body to start dumping those toxins, because now there's no where to put them.
Such a process is called De-toxifying. Those who adopt food-combining practices will naturally improve their protein status and also enjoy good food.
The medical profession acknowledges that the human body operates within a narrow pH range, and automatically and deliberately buffers the blood pH constantly; however, doctors also believe that the human body has an infinite supply of hydroxyl ions (oxygen) with which to buffer body acids. That belief--that hydroxyl ions can come from no where to keep the body buffered--is a belief in magic.
Increase cell oxygenation by several means:
Here is a list of foods which will provide you with about 10 grams each of protein with less than 10 grams of fat. Note that a person (growing child or adult) will require 30-70 grams of protein each day, that is, 3-7 of these low-fat portions, and no more.

Optimizing Protein Utilization
People who don't want their food to put them to sleep or give them gas or run out of energy have ways of combining foods that are based on Cosmic Wisdom. The humans who follow this Way will NOT become diseased and die from what they eat. They will prosper, and their children will prosper.

Food Stress [allergies]
Traditional dietetics has always assumed that most people are comfortable with most foods. Yet most people I know describe problems they have with SOME food, perhaps due to the way they were introduced as infants, perhaps due to other environmental factors such as stress.
Anyone who has a problem with Centering Their Presence can assume that their body is feeling under attack by something--possibly foods, water, or chemicals, perfumes, or colorings, if they are not already under psychological or electronic harassment.
There are at least two different kinds of stress reactions to foods. I'm referring to the pollens and other proteins to which people become sensitized and which become sources of mucus and digestive disturbances. Whether or not a person can de-program food sensitivities [using allergy shots, hypnotism or Neuro-Linguistic Programming], s/he has to LIVE with stress reactions to foreign proteins in the meantime. So one needs to be able to DETECT just which substances it is that are causing a problem.
For that purpose, I would like to direct you to "muscle-testing," a technique from Educational Kinesiology that gives a physiological sign from the body whether one is balanced or under stress [from when eating a sensitizing food].
There are many possible many muscle tests which indicate how well a person is functioning chemically that the medical profession overlooks in favor of invasive, expensive, toxic testing.
Due to the development of isolated strains of grains, many individuals react adversely to products made with wheat, corn, milk, soy, yeast, peanuts, oranges, eggs and beef.
How much protein is enough?
Newborns require about 2 grams per kilogram of body weight of protein per day to supply the amino acids and nitrogen they need for body building.
The amount and proportion of each amino acid needed has a constant profile, and that profile is present in human mother's milk and chicken egg yolk.
For growing children and teenagers, the requirement for protein will be about one gram per kilogram of body weight.
At maturity, the rate of use of amino acids to build new cells slows down, so that adults only use .7 grams of protein per kg of body weight.
If carbohydrates and fats are not present in the diet in sufficient quantity, protein can also be used for energy, as in the case of fasting, starvation or diabetes. In this instance, whenever a person is not eating enough food to cover his energy needs--enough to exercise and catch the bus or walk to school--then the body consumes ITSELF, not only the fat; but also the lean muscle mass, the heart muscle mass, and internal organs lose protein.
That explains why dieting and long-term fasting can be so hazardous. One doesn't burn fat; they burn up their internal organs.
What is the cumulative effect of an acid-forming diet (too much protein) ?
A diet which has a predominantly low pH--containing two to three times as much protein as the body requires--(the Standard American Diet) wreaks havoc on a body's ability to buffer (rebalance toward alkaline) itself, particularly its blood pH.
It is already well known that a high protein diet exacerbates osteoporosis because excess protein acts as a diuretic that flushes calcium out of the kidneys instead of allowing calcium to deposit in the bones and along nerve sheathes, where it belongs.
Eventually the body's buffering systems wear out, and the acidity accumulates in tissues: cystitis, gout, arthritis, cancer, swollen joints, aches, weak teeth, callused feet, tumors are the result.
Acid-Alkaline Balance of Common Foods
First, two observations: Mother's milk is slightly alkaline in nature, as are healthy tissues and blood serum. That is to say, their molecules have accumulated a supply of OH (oxygen) ions to themselves such that a piece of litmus paper would turn blue in their presence.
Secondly, cancer cells are highly ACID in nature. That is to say, their molecules have attracted H (hydrogen ions) to themselves, and a piece of litmus paper would turn red in their presence.
Moreover, we have already seen how the Standard American diet is 2-3 times as acid-forming as alkaline-forming. Good practice would dictate choosing one's foods so that a balance is achieved between acid and alkaline, slightly in favor of alkaline. This is done simply in this country by including one HIGHLY ALKALINE food (GREENS, wakame, molasses, figs, soy beans, etc.) each time one eats a very acid food (meat or eggs).
Try to choose a balance of grains and fresh produce for the daily diet which does not produce such wide SWINGS in pH. Drastically limiting meat and eggs to one or two meals per week works very well in this regard.
(In the following table, all foods are calculated in the raw state and are meant as a guide for estimating average portions or servings. To balance your diet, choose food items which add up to zero point five (0.5 neutral as mother's milk) from both lists of foods. [By noting how many milliliters of an acid solution of known strength it takes to neutralize an unknown alkaline solution, one can measure the strength of an unknown alkaline ash and thus the alkaline forming strength of the food from which the ash came.
* NOTE: Foods which produce ACID URINE cause the body to excrete acids, ultimately, causing the body to retain alkalinity.
**FROM: Acid & Alkaline, by Herman Aihara, George Ohsawa Macrobiotic Foundation, Oroville, California, 1986.
Fat is used for cell reproduction, for nerve cell transmissions, memory storage, manufacture and regulation of hormones, for insulation against excessive heat loss.
Fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K are stored in the liver's fat deposits. Current research indicates that a diet containing 8% calories from fat is sufficient to fill all these functions.
What happens to the extra?
It settles down in the blood vessels; and whether one is thin and svelte or grossly obese doesn't matter. What does matter is whether one has inherited the tendency to collect fat IN THE ARTERIES. So outward appearances don't always tell whether a person's fat deposits are life-limiting or not.
The normal, healthy artery is a flexible, hollow tube which allows blood to pulse freely. Some of the excess fat in the blood attaches itself to the walls of arteries; and over time builds up to a yellow, rubber/butter-like inner core which reduces the diameter and flexibility of the artery. In this way blood flow is reduced.
This process also affects the thickness of the arterial wall, restricting blood flow further. As the blood vessel becomes increasingly rigid, one's heart must pump harder to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the body cells; in turn, cells deprived of nutrients and oxygen wear out prematurely or function poorly (with symptoms or pain or mental confusion).
If fat consumption actually makes the blood sticky (after a heavy meal), then the blood cells can form clots which block their passage through arteries and capillaries. When this happens to an artery which feeds the heart, we call it a HEART ATTACK. When it happens to a brain artery, we call it a STROKE.
From one perspective we can say that the obese person has an advantage: Those extra pounds are an obvious reminder that the body is laboring to deal with extra fat. However, thin persons who have inherited a tendency to fat-clog their arteries won't have a clue until ANGINA sets in, until cholesterol deposits have closed off 90% of the blood-vessel capacity, or unless they wisely have their blood-lipids (fats) checked regularly.
How does fat affect the brain?
When laboratory researchers (in the days when this was ethically permissible) fed 14 angina sufferers a glass of heavy cream, during the five hours after their high-fat "cocktail," their blood streams became cloudy, they all showed abnormal ecg readings, and EVERY SINGLE ONE suffered an angina attack. In fact, their brain oxygen levels dropped 30%! and it took 3 days for their circulation to return to normal.
How much fat do Americans eat?
If men and women were still eating as Homo Sapiens have done from the dawn of history until three hundred years ago (with the exceptions of the very rich and the very poor), their diets would reflect the amount of fats found in the large variety of natural foods. Moreover, the "healthy and fit" individual, according to exercise physiologists, will carry from 10-25% bodyfat, a percentage which tracks with the percentage of fats in natural foods.
------------Plain cooked grains get---------------17%
------------Fresh fruits---------------------------9%
------------Salad vegetables-----------------------1/2%
------------Cooked vegetables get------------------7%
------------Beans and Legumes have--------------11%
------------Nuts get-----------------------------70% of their calories from fat.
The average percentage of calories from fats for natural vegetable foods (which are perfectly balanced for human nutrition) is 19.08 percent--just about the same value as the average ideal body fat composition for a healthy individual. Could that be a coincidence?
Although it is possible to "get fat" from eating too much natural vegetable foods, it's far more difficult to do so, due to the large proportion of fiber and water which make these so "filling."
But what about meat?
If humans were to eat a WHOLE animal--muscles, organs and all--then the percentage of fat consumed would equal its proportion of bodyfat, which in the wild state is quite low. But people don't eat whole animals.
Where a carnivorous animal will, upon killing for dinner, immediately devour that animal's intestines (for the food stored there), humans eat only the delicacies, which are tasty, and therefore, fatty. And meat having little fat is more difficult to prepare because it tends to be either tough, stringy or tasteless.
For those cultures that depend upon meat for survival, the individuals do the best they can to make lean, tough meat palatable by braising it for long periods of time over low heat. But they pay a high price, even then. Eskimos, for example: although omega-3 oils from fish prevent arteriosclerosis in their arteries, they suffer greatly from arthritis due to their high-protein (highly acid) diet.
For those who are privileged to eat whatever strikes their fancy and their pocketbook, the choice of good foods is not very clear. The bottom line is this: Too much food of any type becomes fat in the body, and too much fat burdens the circulatory system. The human body is well suited to deal with famine (particularly due to its weight set-point mechanism), but not to live with continuous feasting.
Whether fats are saturated or unsaturated does not seem to be important. If your diet is 40% fat, ANY type of fat overloads your circulatory system. If your diet is only 10% fat, pure lard won't hurt you. What's at stake is the total amount of fat in your daily food.
Fats are not carcinogens; rather they are cancer promoters. They provide a hospitable environment in which cancer can develop.
Can you become deficient in fat?
No. Fat is in everything--in grains, vegetables, even fresh apples!
Which fats are we talking about?
Oil: Cooking oils, Salad oils, Vegetable oils. Solid Fats: Butter, margarine, lard, suet, beef fat, bacon. Hydrogenated shortenings: all-purpose shortening. Drippings from meat or poultry. Cream: Heavy, light, whipping, sour cream, cream cheese.
How can I eliminate fat?
Eliminate added fats. Cultivate new tastes, like:
Avoid prepared foods which are fatty (eat only 1 fat portion out of 10 no-fat portions):
In the Story of our planet in the great Urantia Book, Mother Eve, like the Old Woman In The Shoe, had many, many children needing nourishment in their tender years. She did not take the milk from animals for her babies after weaning; rather, having access to the milk of a great variety of nuts and to the juices of many fruits, and knowing full well the chemistry and energy of these foods, she suitably combined them for the feeding of her children until the appearance of all their teeth [Urantia Book, p. 834].
Today, Mother Eve's Rice Drink provides pure water, balanced amino acids, vitamins, minerals and energy to grow on. Tastes wonderful as is, in cereals, sauces, soups and baked goods. Feels good in the tummy--at any age.
The amino acid profile proportionally DUPLICATES that of Mother's Milk, as calculated by food tables, although the nutrients in Rice Drink are only 2/3 as concentrated as those found in Mother's Milk or formula, and provide a refreshing drink rather than a thick milkshake.
This food CANNOT AND WILL NOT EVER be approved of by the FDA or sold in stores, because it is whole, natural food. There is no way to get it to 'keep.' Whole food is too fragile for the FDA to approve of, because it cannot withstand the kinds of shelf-life tests that the FDA deems appropriate for food. The fact that whole food is what is health-producing is not seen by the FDA as particularly important. Keeping chemical baby formula corporations in business is what is important to the FDA.
INGREDIENTS: Whey, rice cereal, ground raw cashews, ground dates, lactose, soy oil, soy powder, babyfood/carrots, ascorbic acid.
Feel free to copy this recipe and pass it on. It was developed to free women from dependence on commercial/chemical/artificial substitutes for human milk.

Do this : Place 1-1/2 c clean spring water in blender and start on low speed
---------. Add 1 heaping T finely ground raw cashews and continue to blend
---------. Add 1/3 jar of baby carrots and continue to blend
---------. Add 1 heaping T finely ground date sugar and continue to blend
---------. Add 1 heaping T lactose powder (28 g) and continue to blend
---------. Add 1/2 cup water and speed up blender to medium speed
---------. Add 1 flat T soy powder and continue to blend
---------. Add 1/4 cup whey powder and continue to blend
---------. Add 1 cup Gerber's rice cereal and continue to blend
---------. Add 1 Tablespoon soy oil and continue
---------. Gradually add water to top and blend on high speed for 10 seconds.
The complete preparation time, once you have all your ingredients on hand, takes about 30-60 seconds for a quart of Rice Drink.
I always grind the raw cashews and date sugar very finely--in advance--and keep these in sealed containers in the freezer or refrigerator so I don't have to do this each time. When I have time I even mix up all the dry ingredients (except the rice cereal, which is quite bulky) ahead of time in 8-batch canisters; then, to make a batch, I simply use 5/8 cup of the MIX in 12 oz. water, then add 3/4 c rice cereal, 1 T oil, and the rest of the water, and I'm done. Sure saves measuring ALL those ingredients each time.
Note: this is a recipe, not a formula. The nutrient analysis beats all FDA requirements for formulas IF AND ONLY IF you do not add or subtract any ingredients, if your ingredients are all fresh (and always refrigerated or frozen between batches), if the water is CLEAN AND UN-CHLORINATED and UN-FLUORINATED, and if you have sanitized your equipment before-hand.
You will need an electric nut grinder to grind nuts and dates to fine powder and you will need a sanitized blender (dishwasher washed) free of all contamination or leftover flavors.
Once the "milk" is blended, pour it into a sterile container and use it within 24 hours. Always keep it refrigerated when travelling--I use an ice chest. If it starts turning sour, it will smell and taste bad just like cow's milk will. Our family uses this milk like 'regular' milk for drinking, on cereal, etc. It tastes just fine once you get used to it.
Like all milk analogs, it takes getting used to; so introduce it cautiously, as you would any new food.
Now none of us has problems with ear infections, diahrrea, mucus or gas, which we had before from cow's milk products.

THE ROLE OF EXERCISE IN HUMAN HEALTH"Most people don't wear out; they rust out."
Investing in exercise will promote your health in many ways. The reasons to exercise are overwhelming:
through the whole range of motion of each joint.
should be strong and able to repeatedly push/pull/lift
their "normal" load without strain.
should be able to tolerate and breathe well enough
through strenuous exercise so
the exertion can continue for 20-60 minutes,
and the person could speak while doing it
[no gasping for air, no side aches, no shin-splints, no cramps].
Flexibility.
Many people suffer from back problems; and most of the time these are due to lack of muscle tone of the muscles along the spine.
When a sedentary person is called upon to exert a force in order to get work done, he often overstrains his back muscles, or works one harder than another.
Thus, physical inactivity--sitting for long periods [to drive a truck, to work at a computer terminal] is actually a risk factor for developing back problems.
On the other hand, muscle pain in the back and legs can be minimized when one has a regular habit of stretching such as yoga or calisthenics.
Daily stretching is best; although 3 days a week minimum year-round should help prevent problems for most people.
Stretching out takes about 15 minutes, and serves as an excellent warm-up routine for your aerobic exercises.
Muscular Strength.--Weak abdominal muscles also cause back problems, because they affect the ability to "tuck in" the buttocks to keep posture in a straight line.
Think about it this way : when you're doing sit-ups, or yoga or cross-country skiing, you're taking out insurance against a big belly AND backstrain.
Finally, it's upper body strength that enables a person to get things done--carry in the groceries, shovel snow, change a tire, pick up a child in harm's way, move furniture. And in an emergency, it could be your ability to apply force with your upper arms that could save your life.
For those who live by driving around in cars, rowing and weight training two days a week will give you the work-out you need to provide you with enough muscle to function well. Neither is an unpleasant activity in itself.
Huffing and Puffing
Nobody likes the old "ketch" in the side, along with straining and gasping for air like a fish out of water that characterizes new athletes.
To alleviate huffing and puffing, inhale easily but blow, blow, blow hard to exhale. While you are running, jogging, bicycling, race walking, or whatever, for each breath which you inhale to the count of ONE, blow out to the counts of TWO, THREE and FOUR. This means that you forcefully exhale three times as long as you inhale.
You may slow down or speed up breathing to match your exertion, so long as you keep the 3-to-1 forced exhale-to-inhale ratio. If you use this technique, you will learn to pace your breathing with the exertion you are performing, and you will never run out of "wind."
Overcoming Exercise Aversion
For many, exercise is not fun. Actually, in life there are a lot of things which are not fun.
Now one sees catalogues full of motivational tapes everywhere: how to get thin, feel good, get rich, be happy, and so forth. These CAN BE very useful for overcoming an aversion.
If you can get an all-purpose white-sound brain hemisphere-synchronizing tape, what it can do for you is electronically place your brain in an artificial Alpha state while you are doing what you have an aversion to--walking the dog, washing dishes, or reading a textbook.
In a short time, you will not need it anymore, and you can pass it along to your children.
