HOW TO STAY YOUNG

Sorry all....i have been so busy lately with work and figthing for our rights as the Management decided to up the parking charges by 67%!!! Ridiculous right....? All the stress and then i receive an email from a friend about "HOW TO STAY YOUNG" and i said to myself....ummm... i must share it with you.

After all part of the slimming process is to stay YOUNG !!

So enjoy.....

1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay "them."

2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever. Never let the brain idle. "An idle mind is the devil's workshop." And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.

4. Enjoy the simple things.

5. Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.

7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.

8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

9 Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.

10.Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Happy Chinese New Year....!! Remember....Don't over indulge!!

ELIXIR OF LIFE

Here’s an interesting excerpt from an article I read in a health magazine. The Elixir of Life…and all the ingredients are easily obtained or can be found in your very own kitchen!

Try this simple, easy to make and inexpensive elixir that is an excellent fat destroyer and weight reducer.

1 cup unfiltered cider vinegar (obtainable from major health stores, supermarts)
I cup unpasteurised honey
8 cloves garlic (organic garlics are best)

Put all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed for 1 minute. Pour mixture into a glass container seal and store in refrigerator for five days.

Take two teaspoons in a glass of water or grape or orange juice before breakfast for best results.

A daily dose of garlic and vinegar has proved to be a powerful fat destroyer and weight reducer, according to Dr Raymond Fish of London’s Obesity Research Center

In addition in helping you reduce weight, the mixture has the additional benefit of relieving pain, bringing down cholesterol levels, reduce high blood pressure and stimulate the immune system.

Dr. Hen Lee Tso writes in China’s Journal of Natural Medicines; “Patients given this miracle drink before breakfast showed a remarkable reduction in high blood pressure and cholesterol in less than a week”
