Computer Health...start your 2008 year off with a computer check up but get a good anti-virus program. Where? read on!!
In this Blog I am not dealing with the health of your body. All of you know I am involved with the alternative health cures and remedies but this time of the year I worry about one communication device we all use. The computer! And what about 2008, what is there in anti-virus programs out there? Is anyone testing these old and new anti-virus programs?? Which one is best for the price? Am I currently truly protected? Do I have any viruses, worms etc. on my system now?
Even though I do not have a updated anti-virus program, I think my computer is clean. I stop cookies through my cookie blocker, as I feel this is one of the main sources of viruses.
However:
I have had a few annoying, small things, which happened in 2007.
Like: key board freezing, dropped website contacts, emails received that I can not access, several suspicious emails I received that had unwanted cookies attached, some programs just stopping, etc. etc.
I scan disk and defrag at least once a month..you should be doing this too...especially if you find your computer getting slower.
During the past year, I was traveling outside of Canada and I used my laptop. But I just have no idea what is the best anti-virus software out there! I remember back in 1998 when I first was hit with the marijuana virus or stoned virus. I lost 8 pages of word processing and 4 hours of work. This virus brought a apple face on my screen then it suddenly started eating all my data. When done it then said,”your computer is now stoned, support marijuana sales!” I bought a McAfee program and found all my office computers(6 of them) were infected by this stupid virus. Since then I have had no viruses that have caused me any serious problems.
Everybody knows Norton and McAfee software but what about the others? With so many years passing since my first encounter with a virus and a warning given to me last week by my son, Doug.
I ask: What anti-virus program is truly the best one, at the best price and is best supported?
I finally found a company that checks these anti-virus programs and gives them a fair rating, I think. The internet has so much!!
Anyway, I wanted cheap, fast but effective! I think I found it!! So if your just looking, have a new computer or wondering like I did....check this out.
For $29.99, I think it is worth it.
I am now buying the top rated one by this company called Starrviews.com. And the program is called “The Shield Delux 2008 ”.
Ever heard of it??? Not me, until now..so if you have any comments please share.
But check this website first as the detail and info on the top Anti-virus programs is, I think, very good.
I like the rating on this The Shield Delux 2008 and the price has been discounted by $20.00.
This is obviously a promotion, to get it out there.
So instead of $49.99 or $39.99; I will pay $29.99 to try it and if I go a second year right now, it is only $14.99 for that second year. The price is right!!

Health of the body should be at least a weekly concern for everyone and a daily concern for me but health of your computer in this day and age is a concern we should think about, at least, once a year! So another way to start the New Year and I just wanted to try and help you.

2008!
It is a New Year. Time to lose some weight and get healthy.

Check
out this website article. I am recommending it to everyone and asking everyone
to do the free BMI calculator analysis located there.

Read the whole article, print it out, plus the free Daily Diet Dairy chart (if you're doing the chart, print several). The article recommends a diary, which is something I always recommend for any one I help.
The Diary
The most important life dairy you will ever have and if you want a long healthy life you best do it and start now!

The most important life dairy you will ever have and if you want a long healthy life you best do it and start now!
Keep
track of your Blood Pressure (BP), record anything unusual even regular constipation
is a sign something is not right. Record
your weight that tells you pretty quick you are doing something wrong; if it
keeps going up. A diary will help keep
you more focused and more careful of foods you will eat.
The
diary shows you are serious and allows you to tell others, "Sorry I cannot
eat that." or, "This is as much as I can eat!" You are in
control. Record your neck, chest, waist
and thigh sizes every 3 months. This is
important because when good things start to happen you feel so much better
continuing your improved health style and healthy eating habits.
Why Diets fail?
Eating too much to fast! I think the major reason why we fail is that most of us eat too much! The volume of food will be directly proportional to the weight gain! If you keep overeating, you will stretch your stomach and it will keep accommodating larger and larger volumes of food and drink. .

Later
when you want to lose some weight, you will quickly gain it back because your
stretched stomach will gladly allow you to eat in excess again. Shrinking the
stomach has to be a priority in any weight loss program.
But
that is easily achieved by slowing down!
A technique called putting the fork down between full mouths. Then NOT talking but just slowly chewing and
savouring the flavour before swallowing.
Thus technique is called “THE Michele putting down the Fork Technique” named
after my wife who discovered this was the easiest ever way to lose weight! Take a
bite out your fork down, chew slowly, no talking, savour the taste then
swallow.
Eating too fast. Many of us just eat too fast and swallow before the teeth smash the food and your mouth injects needed digestive enzymes for stomach digestion. BY talking when eating you are blocking the natural injection of enzymes because the cavity must be closed when eating food. Then with food missing this vital first step in digestion you then force the stomach to handle a style of food it was never meant to digest.

It
fills, stretches the stomach with the volume you eat will for many send you a
signal of burping, heart burn, acid indigestion that means there is something
wrong!!
Poorly
chewed food takes longer to digest and it is very hard on the stomach. It can
also be the main cause of stomach ulcers.
This fast eating as I said before also will cause you to lose the
nutrients in the food from you poor start of digestion. You will feel hungry
soon after eating causing you to eat and stretching the stomach even more.
NOTE: You now know why we have an eating disorder epidemic. Parents are setting bad examples by eating
fast, serving prepared foods laced with chemicals and allowing the use of
excessive amount of salt and sugar into their children’s diets.
Shrink the Stomach
With slow eating you will see the cutting of your portions in half will fill the gap. And hopefully you will do it with non-fat foods and avoid the whites :sugar, salt, white flour and fats! Ordinary water is essential to a healthy digestion especially if served warm or hot.

Eat slowly. Chew the food at least 5 to 10
times before swallowing. The teeth and saliva start the first stage in
digestion by allowing the mouth time to inject necessary enzymes so that the
stomach can do its work. The stomach will process the food and not expand or
stretch during the process of this slow kind of NO TALKING while eating method.
Note: Your body will tell you when it is full. Learn to listen to it and stop eating at that point! If you are overweight, your purpose is to shrink your stomach so you can keep the weight off. You will be able to eat most foods in the future (small amounts) without gaining weight because your metabolism will be working more efficiently than you ever imagined possible. You will also derive more nutrition from your foods and have more energy which will help you stay healthy. The need for supplements and vitamins will all but be forgotten in daily eating.
Rule of thumb: When
you are comfortably full just stop eating. No matter what is left over. After
eating, drink water. If you want a dessert, eat half of the usual portion;
however, desserts are not needed by the body!
Cleanse Your System
Cleanse Your System
Start
by cleaning your digestive system before doing any diet.
AVOID the whites:
Sugar
Salt
Flour
White
fats
1. Drink
water. Reduce intake of soda pop,
alcohol, sweet drinks and those with caffeine!! Always choose low or no sugar drinks and drink
decaffeinated coffee and tea when possible.
2. Drink
distilled water for five days, and then wait five days. Do it again during the
first month. Repeat if your weight loss is slowing down in the following
months.
3. Eat
all-bran cereal once a day with two teaspoons of psyllium until you reach your
desired weight. You will speed up your weight loss by eating bran and psyllium
twice a day, during the weight loss program. Once your weight is reached, keep
doing the all-bran with psyllium at least twice weekly.
Note:
The best time to get the maximum benefit from the bran cereal and psyllium is
just before bed as a snack. Lying prone all night allows this food to do a good
cleansing job in the colon.
4. Supplements/Vitamins
needed during the cleanse:
Take one tablespoon of apple cider vinegar and 2 drops of cayenne extract daily. For those not using my weekly tonics take 1 B-Complex, 3 garlic per day, and 1 good multi-vitamin twice a week.

Note: Vitamins and Supplements will never replace a healthy diet of food.
Calories. They Do Count!!
Read the labels on food you buy. Ask restaurants or take outs what is the calorie count, added salt and sugar in their food. Before you eat always think, "How many calories am I eating today?" A healthy male should only consume a maximum of 2,300 calories daily; a healthy female should have only 1,800 calories maximum. Most people reading this have eaten their max in daily calories some time before 5:00 p.m.

If
you like to count calories: Here is an excellent Calorie Counter website for
all food and a counter for calorie burning activities:

Exercise Daily
My suggestion for the
easiest all round exercise is two 10 minute walks at a pace of 100 minimum steps
per minute. Your body does not like to
sit all day so stand up when watching TV or reading a few times. Do not become a couch potato. Our bodies never evolved to be in active!

BMI:
With this article you can calculate your BMI. (body mass indicator) Do it and record your results in your diary. Measure a relaxed waistline and log into your weight watch diary.
Check your blood pressure least twice a weekly (a BP monitor is necessary for everyone I use a wrist type). You will notice a healthy trend here and be more motivated to continue. For those with thyroid problems, take your body temperature once a week and blood pressure twice a week.

When
your health returns to the desired level you can do spot checks of BP and weigh
ins just to make sure your on track to a healthy way of life.
You are in control and are responsible for what you put in your mouth. So do not blame anyone but yourself for being overweight! This is the time to do something about it! Success leads to a long, healthy life.
