The "Quick Fix" Mentality

The "Quick Fix" mentality has as much to do with poor health as Fast Food has to do with obesity. There are two factors that every individual considers when making a decision, Time and Money. Our Medical Community has tapped into this idea and exploited it to sell drugs and surgery as a fix for common ailments. As reports suggest, the system is failing tremendously. But due to the fact that they have been very good at using insurance and other factors to keep the true cost of these things out of your direct sight (paying high premiums for insurance instead of paying directly for your procedures and pills), they have in turn used these MASSIVE profits to keep this information from you. The American Medical Association, but not necessarily the Doctors themselves, DO NOT have intentions of saving the world one person at a time despite what we would like to believe. Nonetheless if you use logic as your basis for Health, you will quickly realize that "Lose weight fast" programs don't work, "30 day workout programs" don't work, and "Eat what you want" diets don't work, so WHY WOULD QUICK FIX HEALTHCARE WORK ANY DIFFERENT? Your body takes time to rehabilitate, time to heal, and certainly takes time to take care of. Think about this the next time you have options on the table for something you are dealing with, and you will begin to uncover the secrets to Truly Advanced Health!

Shopping Mobile

I thought it might be handy to share some of the best places to shop in Mobile to find the things you need, and those to keep you healthy. In other words, this is where I shop:

The Fresh Market on Airport: Get all of your meats here. Though most of the other things they carry are expensive, their meats and seafood are good quality (but not perfect). They have a very wide variety.
My personal favorite: Ground Sirloin $3.99/lb

Target on Schillinger: Great products, variety, and prices. They carry many organic products including organic produce. You have to know what to look for as it's spread throughout the store but you can buy almost all your groceries in organic varieties.
My personal favorites: California Style Flax Bread, Organic Alfalfa Sprouts, Edensoy Organic

Other Health Products: Though you can get some great products like Organic Tahini and Raw Organic Honey from stores like the Health Hut, they are way overpriced. Two of my favorite websites I order products from are www.tropicaltraditions.com, and www.lifesvigor.com. In most cases I find you can buy the same products, with shipping, and still save money!

For more detailed information there will soon be a Recommendations page on the website full of my additional information, healthy recipes, and the other things you need to "Advance Your Health."

"Powered by Juice Plus+"

3 Reason why you NEED to be on Juice Plus if you're not already!

1. You do not eat enough Fruits and Vegetables:
We all know we are supposed to eat them "in abundance" yet most are lucky if they eat a few florets of overcooked broccoli for dinner. Because of this, most are malnourished and don't know it.

2. The ones you eat are not Organic:
Genetic modification. Sounds like science fiction but most of what you eat is. And again this means much of the natural nutrients are lost. Coupled with massive amounts of pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers, we are dumping pollutants into our bodies (Cancer???).

3. What you eat is not Vine-Ripened:
75% of a plants nutrients are incorporated in the last 48 hours of vine-ripening. This means your Chiquita bananas shipped from Guatemala are most likely void of nutrients as they must be picked weeks in advance if they are to get to you before they spoil. This is why colored fruits get their vibrant colors when they are ripe and ready to be enjoyed.

This is only 3 simple reasons though I could go on boring you for hours. If you would like more information get back to the website at www.AdvancedHealthAL.com and follow the link to the store. You will find a link to get more research and place your order. Get "Powered by Juice Plus", and ask me how you can share it with others!

Spring Cleaning...How about a Detox!

Just in time for Summer. You're hitting the beach, you bring the sunblock, you come back inside and OH....You're FRIED! Why is that and how can you prevent it? Well sunburn is much like any other "Toxic Shock". The sun reacts with the toxins in your skin, bakes them in, and causes irritation and even cell death. So detoxification can cut this down tremendously.
First of all, throw away that cheap "TOXIC" sunblock you bought at Wal-Mart. Buy a good quality botanical block like Arbonne's that would not kill you if you ingested it. This with cutting out other chemicals you put on your skin will cut down the toxin levels.
Next, clean up your diet to eliminate the common sources of toxins such as dairy and processed foods. Additional steps you can take to further detoxify would be; Chlorella caps to carry out heavy metals, A.D.P. to eliminate chronic Candida infestations, and other means such as a "water fast" or "colon cleanse".
Enjoy your summer and the suns healing energy!
