The 5 Things You Can Control in Life That Have the Biggest Impact...

Your Self-Talk "That inner voice"  We all have a voice in our heads talking us in or out of something...  That voice can often be critical as it will usually go back to old habit patterns, usually the negative ones and get in the way of our goals,happiness and success. Try this... Count the times you engage in negative self-talk for one day. I think you'll  may surbe quite surprised you how often you criticize yourself (self loathing behavior).  When you begin to recognize this and replace it with encouraging words, your mindset and attitude will shift. Be kind with and to yourself. For example, instead of telling yourself you’re not good enough and you "messed up", remind yourself that you are worthy of kindness and attention, or that it’s okay to make mistakes—we all do!
Your Lifestyle / Food Choices - Even though processed foods might taste great, junk food is a negative in so many ways. It makes your brain and body dysfunctional in so many ways . Consuming white and refined sugars has been linked to all kinds of negative conditions (including metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease, diabetes and yes cancer), not to mention mood swings, elevated body fat and emotional crashes that kill productivity.  Simple fixes like keeping a bag of carrots or a bowl of fruit handy help us pick up the healthier choice when we're depleted and hungry and reaching for the closest snack. Easy-to-whip-up, raw nuts and seeds for example.

Always begin with the basics.  We have heard this throughs or lives.  So let's go through what i think to be the BIG 5 and the one we have the most control over.

1. Breathing “our breath”  Most people you and I included may not even think about breathing (I myself used to talk for many seconds at a time and forget to breathe and have to catch myself!). When you focus on your breath, you can count “one” and "two" inhale and exhale. When you get to 10, start over. I bet you'll start to feel better and more centered immediately.  Those of you who follow my blog and periscope broadcasts know i talk about “keeping your breath”.  The ability to keep a reasonable conversation while walking/movement.

3. Body Language -  "Body position and facial expressions" you can and will demonstrate more power and self-confidence by fundamentally changing the way you hold your body. For example, adopting a powerful stance—arms on hips - feet planted wide, causing you to take up more space— Actually can increases testosterone and decreases the stress hormone cortisol (don't worry lady's this will not cause any man like features...). The result? This "power positioning" will make you feel more, well powerfull.. Think about this before you meet with a potential client, go to interview, or even just before you leave the house.

5. Sleep The Key Metabolic Balancer - Sleep is absolutely critical for health, anti aging and fat loss.  As well as mental focus, concentration, job and academic and physical performance.  As well as keeping your appetite under control, and a many other positive health outcomes. In order to “hack” sleep, you have to set a routine. Set a time to be in bed, mine is  9:30 p.m. and I wake up by 6:15 a.m.  If your brain can't calm down while you're trying to fall asleep, here is a tip, tell yourself, “I'm proud of what I accomplished today, I'm going to let my brain and body rest now." Or try other trusted get-to-sleep-ASAP methods, including cutting back on alcohol.

3 Keys to Eat Healthy While Traveling

1. The Stay

Hotels that offer a fridge in the room. Not only will you be able to house health-promoting foods in your room for easy access, but you’ll also save big money by bringing your own breakfast, lunch and/or snack foods which can add up quickly on vacations.  How close they are to surrounding grocery stores and markets. The closer they are, the easier it is to make a stop or two throughout your trip.

Although typically not the best quality food, it’s good to check out hotel breakfast options ahead of time to see what foods might be available to you. Stocking up on hard-boiled eggs or fruit from the breakfast buffet can serve as breakfast or snacks during your trip.

2. Pre Send Options for travel-friendly perishable foods:

• Raw vegetables like carrots, celery hydrating and keep well
• Hard boiled eggs
• Pre-cooked sweet potatoes
• Meats like shrimp or chicken and beef pre-cut into strips

3.  Don’t worry. Be happy.

This means, you could be eating the most nutrient-dense, pristine diet there is – but if you’re stressed, you’re not only impairing the breakdown and absorption of your food, you’re also suppressing your immune system and increasing your likelihood of experiencing a reaction to a gut pathogen or food toxin.

What is Gluten and Why it's the Quality that's important!

Gluten (from Latin gluten, "glue") is a protein composite found in wheat and related grains, including barley and rye. Gluten gives elasticity to dough, helping it rise and keep its shape and often gives the final product a chewy texture. Gluten is used in cosmetics, hair products, and other dermatological preparations.

Gluten is the composite of a gliadin and a glutenin, which is conjoined with starch in the endosperm of various grass-related grains. The prolamin and glutelin from wheat (gliadin, which is alcohol-soluble, and glutenin, which is only soluble in dilute acids or alkalis) constitute about 80% of the protein contained in wheat fruit. Being insoluble in water, they can be purified by washing away the associated starch. Worldwide, gluten is a source of protein, both in foods prepared directly from sources containing it, and as an additive to foods otherwise low in protein. Get The best quality Isolated Whey.

The fruit of most flowering plants have endosperms with stored protein to nourish embryonic plants during germination. True gluten, with gliadin and glutenin, is limited to certain members of the grass family. The stored proteins of maize and rice are sometimes called glutens, but their proteins differ from true gluten.

Understanding Gluten

Unless you have celiac or an allergy, gluten might be largely beside the point. According to the researchers, most of us can tolerate gluten.

It's all about quality

Keep in mind gluten is the protein portion of the grain, proteins have differing levels of quality.  For example a sprouted wheat berry is going to have a higher quality based gluten than a traditional wheat gluten. And, you will see potato starch used as an adjunct order replacement for gluten. But potato starch in Itself is a poor quality replacement as it is high glycemic and high load.

I would place the emphasis on the quality of the protein rather than focusing on being gluten-free and eating poor quality low fiber high glycemic load replacements like potato flour or potato starch.
