Sun Gazing Good For The Soul

October 13th 2008 09:19
The power and natural beauty of the sun is indisputable. Plants grow tall and compete for its raw power, while snakes and lizards bask on rocks warming their blood and building their energy for the day ahead. But what about us humans, what do we get out of it. The dangers of the sun are well documented and we are told every summer that we need to slap on the sun screen wear hats and sit in the shade to prevent burning and even cancer. But there is a new craze that blatantly ignores these warnings and says that not only being out in the sun good for you but if you actually stand and stare at it at certain times of the day it can have some truly amazing and almost unbelievable health benefits.

Get Off Drugs

October 1st 2008 03:57
Anyone who regularly reads this blog will be well aware about my work in promoting drug rehab centres. Having battled drug and alcohol addiction I shamelessly promote anything that will help people on their way to a full and total recovery and this article is part of that work.

I recently read an article about a women who had been battling drug and alcohol addiction since the age of 12. She was so far gone she had lost all hope of regaining a normal life. But she was lucky she met a man who saw past the addiction, saw that this lady was special and just needed some guidance. He helped get in the Orchid that is a rehab centre especially for woman and drug addicton it was here that she learnt to gain some self respect, which is the all important first step in beating addiction. She is now married to her saviour as she calls him with two beautiful kids, but she has n't forgotten the work done by the wonderful people at the Orchid.

It is great to here these stories and I will continue to bring them to you and I hope they will inspire you to beat your own demons or help you guide someone you love to beat theirs.

Goji One Week On

October 1st 2008 00:24
Its been over a week since I began the great goji experiment, and I have to say that so far I do not have much to report. I have sustituted the great Himalayan berry for my morning OJ and although I find it quite tasty there have so far been no miraculous health benefits. The only thing that maybe down to my new regime is that I am finding it alot easier to get out of bed in the morning, something that used be my worst fear. I will keep this up though and report to you on a weekly basis.




The new edition of www.healthandwellbeingetc.net is also up and running. This month we have taken a look at how the natural beauty of nature can help cure all sorts of ailments.

Steven King and his Cocaine Habbit

September 22nd 2008 22:16
I have just finished reading a book called On Writing by Steven King. In it he talks openly about his struggle with alcohol and cocaine. He says that he became so bad that he can't even remember writing Cujo one of his all time classics. He became sure that his writing skills were largely due to these mind altering substances and as with any addict there came a point when he had to make a choice, the choice was laid down to him by his wife, his life and family or his drug and writing. He thought at the time that the time he was giving up a career that he loved but he valued the love of his family and his own life more. It wasn't long after getting straight that he realised that cocaine had not fuled his imagination at all and once again he began writing in earnest.

I am re telling this story because I want people to realise that addiction happens to the best of us and if you are surrounded by loved ones and your own will to live and achieve great things anything is possible

goji beginning

September 17th 2008 02:03
Next week will be my first week on the goji juice after that I will be giving weekly updates on how I feel. If you are wondering why I have waited almost two weeks to start, well I wanted to get my self as healthy as possible before I started. I wanted to feel great and push the goji to make me feel even better. For nearly two weeks I have eaten as healthily as possible and cut out alcohol and caffiene. I feel pretty damn good I have to say, so lets see what this goji has to offer.

Shoes and your feet (LINK)

August 15th 2008 00:59
Buying new shoes can be a momentous moment. A new pair can dig you out of any bad mood and lift your confidence making you feel on top of the world, and more attractive to the opposite sex. It’s such a miraculous event that popular singer song writer Paolo Ntini wrote a song praising this fleeting high that shoes can give you. In it he says “hey I put my new shoes and suddenly everything is right”. But despite the obvious good that shoes bring to the world, like trapping the smell of stinky feet, keeping our toes warm in the winter and stopping us from stepping in all things sticky and gooey, there is a growing number of clubs and societies dedicated to going shoeless. The Society for Barefoot Living, The Barefoot Runners and The Parents for Barefoot Children all say that the foot is perfectly designed for everyday living and that the shoe is slowly destroying it.

In an article for New York Magazine called “You Walk Wrong” popular American Journalist says “It took 4 million years of evolution to perfect the human foot. But we’re wrecking it with every step we take”. This article was written on the back of recent studies conducted at the University of the Witwatersrand in Johannesburg South Africa. They showed that humans had healthier feet before the invention of the shoe. The study examined 180 modern humans from three different population groups (Sotho, Zulu, and European), comparing their feet to one another’s, as well as to the feet of 2,000-year-old skeletons. Among the modern subjects, the Zulu population, which often goes barefoot, had the healthiest feet while the Europeans—i.e., the habitual shoe-wearers—had the unhealthiest

Its very hard to say but she isn't helping by keeping him around, he is comfortable he knows he wont lose her no matter what, he doesn't feel like what he is doing is that bad because if it was she would leave. all you can do is keep being a friend because she will need you if he carries on, it will all blow up in his face one day i hope it just isn't to bad.
