How To Improve How You Feel About Yourself

 

Let's face it, we all have days where we feel less than perfect about ourselves. Our hair just doesn't seem to fall right, or our clothes are ill-fitting. Although the occurrence of viewing ourselves in a less than ideal manner is natural, the feeling shouldn't linger. 

 

Sadly, thousands of individuals, unfortunately, feel negative about themselves; albeit their appearance or current circumstance.

 

In fact, Dr. Joe Rubino, the author of The Self Esteem Book, reported that over 85% of the world's population suffers from having a low self-esteem. This statistic leaves us with a world full of beautiful people who are unable to see their beauty for themselves. 

 

Are we all doomed to live and die in an unhappy state? Fortunately, the battle of esteem can easily be won. Humans are creatures of habit. How can you overcome a pesky habit? By taking action. 

 

Negative self-thinking is a learned habit that can be conquered by changing the way you think. With a few tips and tricks, you'll be able to heighten your opinion of yourself and live a life of purpose.

 

Repeat Daily Self-Affirmations

 

Self-affirmations are an excellent way to identify your strengths. In fact, a research study found that individuals who practiced positive thinking after receiving a serious diagnosis of an illness were able to process the information and develop positive coping strategies. 

 

One excerpt reads, "Two recent sets of research findings suggest that positive beliefs and experiences increase attention to useful self-relevant negative information and thus may facilitate effective coping." 

 

If positive self-thinking can assist with life-altering illnesses, surely it can help you to develop a positive self-image. 

 

How do you practice self-affirmations?

 

It's simple, repeat to yourself reasons why you love yourself. Many like to stare in the mirror and list their positive qualities daily. Others find success with writing down five to ten of their favorable traits in a notebook. 

 

The key here is to focus on what you appreciate about yourself; not others. Once you've gotten into the habit of feeding your mind with positivity, you will find that the previous negative voice will be silenced. Changing your thinking is crucial if you want to raise your self-esteem. You have to believe you are great in order to exude it. 

 

Live Well

 

Living well isn't limited to engaging in exciting activities or making tons of cash. It's a deeper connection to your body, mind, and spirit. The foods you consume have a lot to do with your moods. In fact, foods high in dairy and processed sugars are recipes for disaster if you're trying to think positively. Being mindful of what you put into your body will make you glow from the inside out! 

 

In addition to eating well, engaging in some sort of physical activity is beneficial to your overall health. Getting outside and taking in the sun will boost your serotonin, also known as, the happy chemical in your brain. When you take care of your body, you'll see changes in how you view yourself. You'll become stronger both mentally and physically. 

 

Choose Your Company Wisely

 

Self-esteem starts from within. However, surrounding yourself with positive people will only encourage you to continue to think happy thoughts about yourself. 

 

Choosing companions who honor your strengths and acknowledge how great you are creates a healthy space. The danger in attempting to improve your self-esteem while surrounding yourself with negative people is that their mentality will eventually rub off on you. 

 

You’ll begin to live in that space of negative thinking without even realizing the repercussions. People who inspire you, motivate you and challenge you are friends that will support your esteem. They respect you, so they would never intentionally attempt to taint your character. After you’ve established a firm hold on how you view yourself, it will be easy to attract likeminded people who think similarly. 

 

You have to live with yourself for the rest of your life. Why not make the experience a great one! We all have so many unique talents and opportunities to give to the world. It’s only right that we see the beauty we possess within ourselves. 

 

By making the above tips a form of habit, you’ll be well on your way to improving how you see yourself and living a purpose filled life. 

 

GMOs And Your Food 101

 

GMOs are animals and plants who have been genetically altered. They are modified so that our crops and more resistant to pests, weeds, and any other diseases that typically threaten them. They tend to have a longer life, travel well, and in many cases reduce the cost of the product, too.

 

It's common for GMOs to feature in mass-produced products, while the US did pass a bill requiring some GMO ingredients to be listed on labeling, there are loopholes that allow manufacturers to get around it or skip certain ingredients. 

 

It's become a common method of farming because it is more cost efficient for both farmers and producers. 

 

Is It Safe To Eat GMOs?

 

Dozens of countries across the planet have placed restrictions (or bans) on producing GMOs. Why? 

 

Quite simply, these countries do not believe that GMOs have been proven to be safe. The consensus has simply been that in the studies so far, it doesn't appear that GMOs are unsafe (https://allianceforscience.cornell.edu/blog/mark-lynas/gmo-safety-debate-over). It is hardly the win that GMO activists have claimed it to be. 

 

The Widespread Use of GMOs 

 

The majority of both soybeans and corn that are grown in the US have been genetically modified. In fact, The Center For Food Safety reports that it is believed that around 70% of American processed foods stocking the supermarket shelves now contain at least one ingredient that has been genetically modified. There are a number of crops that are unrestricted and while there have been court orders to prevent their planting, the USDA hasn't enforced it. 

 

How To Avoid GMOs

 

The simplest way to avoid consuming GMO products is to buy organic foods wherever possible. The processes that organic producers use ensure that your food hasn't been genetically modified, it is not subjected to planting on land that has been treated or sprayed with chemicals. Separate machinery is used to prevent contamination and the ingredients are stored separately, too. 

 

If the cost of organic products makes your stomach turn there is a way to find a good balance. Fruits and vegetables with a hard or thick skin are the safest non-organic products for you to purchase as it's more difficult for toxins to reach the fruit or vegetable itself. However, when it comes to those fruits and vegetables with soft skin (or skin that you eat) you should always buy organic. 

 

What Will GMOs Do To My Health?

 

While there have been numerous studies on GMOs, the general consensus (only reached recently) is that they do not appear to be unsafe. However, because the products weren't labeled or tracked for so long, it is challenging to get a true picture of what potential human health problems may stem from the consumption of GMOs. While we don't know that GMOs actively harm human health, we also don't truly know whether they are unsafe. 

 

What Do GMOs Do To The Environment 

 

GMOs may be leading to the growth of superbugs and superweeds as these become more resistant to the pesticides and herbicides being used, thus increasing the need for more of it to be used or a stronger version to be created. 

 

The Organic Center found that in the first 13 years of GMOs in commercial use, those crops increased herbicide use by over 350 million pounds. 

 

It appears as though that the majority of GMO crops are being used to feed livestock in the richer nations, rather than putting food in the bellies of poor nations. South America produces large amounts of GMO soybeans, but they are going to feed Europe's livestock. Additionally, there is a potential risk that poor farmers are being displaced, thus making locally consumed products more scarce. 

Secrets That Weight Loss Companies Don't Want You To Know

A good secret can be exhilarating and juicy. Often times, entertaining. However, when secrets are used as a means to take advantage of others, those feelings of excitement soon turn to feelings of rage. 

 

Weight loss companies around the globe have been feeding vulnerable individuals their "keys to weight loss" to fuel their own agenda. 

 

Weight loss companies in the United States alone gross nearly $20 billion dollars annually! With over half of the nation on a diet, it appears their marketing concepts are working. 

 

Although some companies have their clients’ interests at heart, many are only focused on the mighty dollar. In fact, they hold a few secrets of their own about weight loss and dieting. If you're considering going on a diet through a popular program, check out this it's comprehensive list of secrets weight loss companies doesn't want you to know before signing your life away! 

 

All That Glitters is Not Gold

 

Weight loss companies love to portray their product as better than the rest or the key you've been missing. Although their statements may sound compelling, the truth behind it all is fictitious. 

 

No doubt you have been exposed to the "lose 10 pounds just by sitting" fantasy as shown on television and online. Weight loss companies want you to buy their product. Therefore, they will exaggerate the capabilities of their new invention in order to push sales. In 2002, a popular company endorsed a similar pipe dream by selling over $155 million dollars’ worth of their product. 

 

Eventually, their promises of "shedding pounds while you sleep" gimmick were exposed. Attorney Tom Carter who worked to justify the hundreds of lawsuits filed towards the company revealed the reality behind the company’s marketing strategy. "They picked DJs to endorse the product who commanded and controlled their audience. It wasn’t just misleading advertising, it was false." 

 

Carter, along with the hundreds of individuals who filed lawsuits against this company, found their day of reckoning when the company lost its reputation and was taken out of business. 

 

Weight loss companies are businesses at the end of the day. They feed consumers these fantasies of being able to lose weight with minimal effort. 

 

People, naturally, feed into the glamour. Essentially, their product can be likened to a raw apple coated in gold. It may appear fantastic on the outside, but inside, it's useless and harmful.

 

On the subject of false advertising, many weight loss companies say that their products are 100% natural, and holistic. 

 

They also claim to be effective simply because they are government approved. What you might find surprising is that, although they may package their products as being government approved, that doesn't guarantee their safety. 

 

The Dietary Supplement and Health Education Act does not expect companies to prove their effectiveness through tests, surveys or research. This means that companies can endorse a product that may not really work. 

 

This solidifies the importance of consulting with your doctor prior to taking dietary supplements or signing up for a new program. Extensive research on your part is also vital in order to determine what works best for you.

 

Coinciding with false advertising, many weight loss companies preach the notion that you can obtain an x amount of results in a short span of time. This marketing scheme provides people with the idea that they can be fit and healthy without putting in the necessary work. 

 

The truth is, changing your body structure, losing weight and living a healthy life requires work. Weight doesn't magically fall off simply by sleeping, taking a pill, or standing. It requires determination, endurance and of course effort. 

 

Weight loss companies have made a fortune tricking people into believing that major lifestyle changes are effortless. 

 

There are plenty of weight loss companies dying to capitalize off your vulnerability. They use strategic marketing plans to real you in and take your money. 

 

Although there are some valuable companies on the market, it's imperative for you as the consumer to use your noggin! 

 

Sure, weight loss companies offer some valid advice, but your journey to wellness isn't a one-stop trick. Consult with your doctor, analyze your body and make the best decision for you. Remember, the best secret to weight loss is putting in an honest effort and taking action. 

 

5 Better Fitness Tips For Busy Professionals

Any worker in America can attest to just how bad working can be on your health. Whether it's sitting at a desk for eight hours, looking at a computer screen or spending your shift on your feet, running around an emergency room treating patients. We risk repetitive strain injury, stiff joints, eye strain, and back pain. One of the biggest risks of our working life, though, is weight gain, especially for busy professionals. 

Even those who are on their feet during their workday face challenges – they're busy, they turn to sugary food to keep them going and it's difficult to break the weight habit. There is good news, though, here are five fitness tips for the busy professionals among us. 

1.     Sleep Well 

It's the greatest thing you can do for your health. Not only does it improve your focus on overall performance the following day, but it means you are more likely to make the right dietary decisions. When you choose the right foods you feel better, you're more likely to have the energy to do those exercises, your mood improves, and it can even influence your sex life.

2.     Plan Well 

If you want to maintain your fitness you have to plan ahead. One of the biggest downfalls of any lifestyle is the inability to maintain it. So, if you know you're prone to grabbing junk at lunch, make sure you prepare your lunch the night before (the same goes for your breakfast and dinner). If you constantly forget to grab your gym bag, leave it at the door or somewhere you will see it for when you need it. The magic number when it comes to moderate exercise is 150 minutes – it is easier to achieve than you think. 

3.     Switch Up Your Commute

Provided you live fairly close to your workplace – you can leave the car at home and hop on a bike or just walk. Not only will it save you money, it also helps protect the environment. Look at you, thinking of others and improving your health! 

4.     Lunch Break Performance 

If this isn't possible, consider going for a walk on your lunch break – the fresh air will do you good. You can walk to a park to eat lunch or walk to a healthy eatery where you know there's time for you to dine well and get your steps in. It will also provide you with an energy boost, you will find your afternoon at work goes in quicker, too. 

5.     Travel Well

If travel is a regular part of your business, then you know just how difficult it can be to exercise and to eat well. The first thing you should do is start keeping a food diary – then you can track what you're eating while traveling, as it's easy to lose track. When it comes to exercise, check ahead to see if your hotel has a gym. If it doesn't, you can track a path to walk or jog and see if there is a gym in the vicinity.  

Work gets busy, but there are plenty of ways you can find time for fitness. In addition to the tips above, you can skip the elevator and always choose the stairs. You may be surprised at how many calories you burn doing the housework. To save time, try to find a gym that's on your way home from work – you can slip in a few nights a week for a quick workout. Start your day with a short yoga session, eat a healthy breakfast, and tackle the day with the energy and vigor it deserves. 

Failed To Achieve A Goal? Get Back Up And Learn From It

We tend to think of failure as something shameful, undesirable. Understandably, failing to achieve it often cause negative feelings, no matter how big or small the goal was.

 

And the only way to overcome those feelings is by changing the way we understand failure - it is part of the process of success and leaves valuable lessons if we know how to learn from it.

 

Three ways to redefine failure and learn from it effectively.

 

Don't be afraid to make mistakes - Learning from your mistakes is about more than just thinking about what went wrong. The first step towards using failure as a tool for success is to stop seeing mistakes as shameful.

 

Think about it - a mistake is not just a natural part of embarking on a new project; it is also part of the human experience. As such, they should be accepted as a necessary step towards achieving your goals.

 

In her article "Strategies for Learning from Failure", Amy C. Edmondson classifies mistakes in three categories:

 

Preventable

 

These are the mistakes we often think of as bad. They result from lack of focus or attention to the procedures needed to achieve the goal.

 

Complexity-related

 

These mistakes happen when the goal is the product of many factors - your own motivation, previous skills, your environment, support network, and the resources you have to accomplish it. If any of these fail, you might be unable to achieve the goal.

 

Intelligent mistakes

 

According to Adam Mendler in his article What Sales Executives Can Learn From Failure, having the freedom to make mistakes increases creativity and work performance. Without unnecessary pressures to avoid mistakes and the shame that comes with it, employees contribute more frequently and are able to express more original ideas.

 

For example, many great inventions were discovered by accident - from Post-It notes to penicillin.

 

Whatever the source of the mistake, removing any negative feelings about it and re-framing it as a source of new knowledge is the first step towards learning from failure effectively.

 

But what's next?

 

Rethink your approach to your goal

 

Now that you're looking at the mistake without judgment, think of how you got into the situation.

 

In his article The 4 Keys to Learning From Failure, Guy Winch suggests you analyze your motivation levels, focus, and mindset. Did you feel less motivated to achieve your goal at some point? Did something else distract you from it?

 

If your dedication and focus decreased at any time, make note of it and try to find the cause. Identifying the internal and external causes that affected your resolve helps you prepare for them in the future.

 

In some cases, discussing the failure with someone you trust can help you see the issues from a different perspective. Rely on your support network to pinpoint what went wrong and how you could prevent it.

 

Plan ahead

 

Identifying what caused the mistake is not enough to prevent it in the future. You need to take steps to prevent that mistake from happening again.

 

If your goal was to write a novel in six months, you've probably identified a few reasons why you couldn't achieve it - lack of time, insufficient planning, or lack of motivation.

 

But what can you do to prevent those issues to get in the way of your goal in the future? In our example, you could scale down the scope of the novel, spend more time planning the story, or set a specific time to write undisturbed.

 

In summary, failure is not permanent. By accepting failure, analyzing its causes and defining how you can eliminate those causes, you're on your way to achieving your goals.

The Role Of Inflammation In The Aging Process

Inflammation is a biological process that has received quite a bit of press in recent years and has been the subject of numerous different health trends, most popularly in the fields of diet and weight loss. Inflammation is defined by the National Institute of Health as “a very complex response to an injury, infection, or other stimulus, in which many different cells types and secreted factors orchestrate protective immunity, tissue repair, and resolution of tissue damage.”

 

There is also a new trend of research and information that inflammation may have a key role in the aging process, with some thought-leaders surmising that inflammation is the primary cause of aging in human beings. That may or may not be true, but we can certainly review the current information available to figure out if inflammation is something we should be aware of to help us age gracefully. 

 

Most research has been done to understand the role of inflammation in the elderly, especially concerning degenerative diseases. While we are still working to understand the overall role of inflammation in the lifespan of the aging process from youth onwards, there seems to be a fair amount of consensus that it plays a primary role in the accelerated aging process seen in the elderly. 

 

A recent panel organized by National Institute of Health and National Geroscience Interest Group on aging stated that “It is now recognized that a mild pro-inflammatory state is correlated with the major degenerative diseases of the elderly.” 

 

This begs the question of how does inflammation start or how does it originate? 

 

It is a hard question to articulate and requires a great deal of medical and scientific jargon to properly express, however a summary from a recent study in  Recent Patents on Inflammation & Allergy Drug Discovery expresses a good general outline, “Inflammatory process induces oxidative stress and reduces cellular antioxidant capacity. 

 

Overproduced free radicals react with cell membrane fatty acids and proteins impairing their function permanently.” What exactly does that mean? Inflammation most simply put is the body’s response to an abnormal event in the body that it is attempting to repair. The most common or simple version might be a stubbed toe that swells, turns black or blue and eventually over time as healing occurs returns to normal. That process is the body inflaming the hurt area to protect it or heal it. 

 

Chronic inflammation is the case of internal inflammation over time that can lead to aging processes. As the research study stated, it induces stress and reduces certain capacities in the body, many of which are key to the aging process, in order to deal with other stresses within the body.

 

Being that we have a basic idea of the aging process and inflammations role in it, how do prevent inflammation from occurring? The jury is still out officially, although two different recent studies examined the role of caloric-restriction on the inflammation process. 

 

Both studies, from the Ageing Research Reviews and Antioxidants and Redux Signaling respectively, examined the anti-inflammatory actions of aging-retarding caloric restriction and exercise. It would seem that, while perhaps not a complete surprise, a poor diet, and sedentary lifestyle would increase inflammation and therefore the aging process. 

 

In fact, the study from Antioxidants and Redux signaling found that “major chronic aging-related diseases such as atherosclerosis, arthritis, dementia, osteoporosis, and cardiovascular diseases, are inflammation-related.” It is certainly not a coincidence that most of these conditions are also symptoms of a sedentary lifestyle and poor diet choices. 

 

As a summary, it is fair to conclude that inflammation has a high correlation and may be a direct cause of many aging and degenerative conditions we face later on in life. 

 

We also are safe to surmise that inflammation is a reactive process of our body to attempt to heal events that are not ideal for homeostasis, or events that place stress on the body. 

 

In the case of inflammation, these events are molecular and result from the bad kind of stress, that stress that comes from poor diet choices and lack of exercise, which leads to inflamed cellular responses. 

 

To summarize in the simplest terms, inflammation increases the process of aging, and poor diet and lack of exercise increases inflammation; therefore, eat a healthy diet and exercise to help inhibit the aging process!

Signs That You Eat Too Much

Eating is a fundamental pillar of life for all humans. Moreover, most of us enjoy it, especially when it’s some great tasting food! Unfortunately, we also don’t always have the best sense of when to stop, especially, in our current time when we have access to not only good-tasting foods but in immense quantities. 

 

While we may poke fun at humorous situations such as Homer Simpson eating until he can’t physically move, in reality the consequences of eating too much can range from a simple mild stomach ache in the short term to the many health risks associated with chronic obesity such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes. 

 

Moreover, often overeating is not as dramatic as eating until our pants are about to burst, but rather simply eating more than we need at the current time, or eating until we’re full rather than eating until we’ve gotten the nutrients we need. 

 

We do not have the natural constraints our ancestors did to prevent us from over eating. In evolutionary terms, most humans couldn’t over eat as large-scale agriculture and food processing generally weren’t available until fairly recently in human history. Currently, most humans and certainly Americans have access to more food with convenience than ever before.

 

So, what drives us to eat more than we need? 

 

Despite the plethora of available resources, we are still fully capable of eating what we need. One key insight is the emotional connection to food many people have. Research has shown that many people tend to eat more or overeat when they are feeling sad, depressed, or struggling with an issue. 

 

A study in the Journal of Adolescent Health, researched the eating habits of adolescents who eventually developed eating disorders like binge eating. The primary result they found was “These results indicate that it is important to consider depressive symptoms in overeating.” One of the primary signs that we may be eating too much is to monitor the reason for eating. Are we eating because we are hungry, or because of an emotional issue, we are dealing with?

 

Another consideration is symptoms of Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. An article from the Medical University of Warsaw stated that Hypoglycemic symptoms can lead people to eat more in order to satisfy urges to increase insulin, thus it is always important to remember to practice moderation when eating sweets as they lead us to eat far more than we actually need. 

 

Finally, there is no better warning system than your own body. Excessive constipation, blockage, bloating, vomiting or stomach aches is your body giving you feedback that it has had enough. More often than not, if you feel a constant need for laxatives or antacids it is most likely your body telling you that you’ve taken in far more food than you need. Additionally, your body’s energy level and mental alertness are signs of eating too much. While we all enjoy a finely cooked meal or delicious snacks, biologically speaking food is simply fuel for our body to consume and turn into energy. However, when we bog our system down with excess fuel or fuel of poor quality A.K.A junk food, our energy will decrease, we feel sluggish and less alert and rather than increasing our energy, it will feel like we decreased it as we overloaded our digestion system.  

 

In conclusion, I think I speak for most people when I say that we love food! Our bodies love food as well as it is the energy that allows it to move and function, however when we have too much our best warning system is our body and our brain telling us. 

 

Our brains tell us through our emotions, we very often have far more food than we need for emotional reasons such as depression or stress. 

 

We have to be aware of our current state to avoid these pitfalls. In addition, our bodies tell us through our own energy levels and digestion system when we’ve had too much. The signs are there and our brains and bodies are telling us, we just have to listen!

Key Principles Of Holistic Medicine

The Academy of Integrative Health & Medicine defines holistic medicine as "the art and science of healing that addresses the whole person – body, mind, and spirit." In other words, it doesn't just focus on your physical health.

 

According to the practice, our health and well-being is the result of the interaction between physical, environmental, emotional, and psychological aspects of the person's life. Therefore, what makes holistic medicine different is its integrative approach to health. It uses alternative as well as conventional medicine and studies all aspects of a person's life. 

 

The goal is to achieve holistic health, an "unlimited and unimpeded free flow of life force energy through body, mind, and spirit." 

 

WebMD describes the four key principles of holistic. 

 

1.     The patient's innate healing powers

 

Holistic medicine teaches that the body has an innate capacity to heal itself. For this reason, it wants to promote and encourage this naturally occurring healing by using different treatments and methods.

 

In addition, it believes that the best way to maintaining good health is by preventing illnesses in the first place. This is not just better for the body, but it is also cost-effective. Adopting good habits to improve wellness and prevent diseases is less taxing on the body than overcoming an illness.

 

To nurture the body's capacity to heal itself, holistic medicine seeks to promote overall health instead of just treating a set of symptoms. In this case, good health goes beyond the absence of illness. It aims at achieving the best possible quality of life in the physical, emotional, mental, and social aspects.

 

2.     There is more to the patient that a disease

 

For holistic medicine, illness is the result of an imbalance or dysfunction of the individual. In addition, one way to treat this imbalance is to change the effects of negative emotions, experiences, habits, and memories. In other words, a holistic physician encourages patients to explore the effects of emotions and experiences on their health and to unburden themselves of harmful emotions and thoughts.

 

Consequently, positive emotions and feelings like love, enthusiasm, and hope may help to restore the balance and bring the patient closer to well-being.

 

Therefore, in this case, a disease is an opportunity for patients to learn more and improve themselves. Moreover, for physicians, each patient is a new opportunity to practice unconditional love and guide a person in their unique path towards wellness.

 

3.     Healing takes a team approach

 

An important part of the physician's job is to educate and empower each patient so that they can make informed decisions about their health and treatments.

 

Education is an important task for the physician. To promote wellness, the patient needs to incorporate healthful habits under the guidance and encouragement from the doctor. For example, the physician may guide the patient towards adopting a healthier diet, incorporating exercise, or seeking counseling.

 

Patient and physician work as a team to restore well-being. So evidently, the relationship between patient and doctor is supportive and collaborative. In this ideal relationship, the physician listens and respects the patients' needs, opinions, and insights. And the patient is not a passive agent in her own health. Instead, she is encouraged to make her own decisions.

 

Another important aspect of a positive doctor-patient relationship in holistic medicine is the use of different treatments.

 

For some people, holistic medicine is not different from homeopathy or naturopathy. However, there is a difference.

 

Holistic medicine may use natural treatments if the patient may benefit from them, but it also uses conventional medicine and treatments. The inclusion of a broader range of evidence-based therapies that offer different benefits helps the patient get more comprehensive care.

 

4.     Fixing the causes of disease and not just the symptoms

 

The integral approach of holistic medicine to well-being allows it to go deeper into the health problems of the patient, well beyond the physical symptoms of one illness.

 

Getting to the root of the issue also ensures the patient may find long-term health and prevents more episodes of the illness in the future.
