Reduce Stress: Ten Stress Relief Tips

Image provided by Becky Wetherington
Stress is known as the silent killer because it can cause chronic health problems without us even knowing it. This is one of the reasons why we should reduce stress as much as possible. One of the negative effects of stress is hormone imbalance. When we are stressed our bodies produce certain anti-stress chemicals to protect them from its harmful effects. Too much stress can cause our bodies to produce too many anti-stress chemicals. This can disrupt our chemical balance which weakens all the systems of our bodies. Our immune system also produces chemicals to fight stress. One of them is cortisol which is produced by the adrenal glands. When we have too much stress, it can exhaust our adrenal glands and cause them to malfunction. If our adrenal glands can’t produce sufficient levels of cortisol, our immune systems weaken and we become more susceptible to diseases. Too much stress also causes our bodies to deplete certain important nutrients, such as magnesium and calcium. This may lead to premature aging, osteoporosis, heart disease and cancer. These are more reasons why we should reduce stress as much as possible.

Ten stress relief tips

Breathing exercise: Slow and deep breathe can help relax the mind, increases oxygen and focus, and stimulates the brain to produce endorphins.
Jogging: Helps reduce distraction and may increase the body’s natural healing abilities. According to a study done at the University of Bonn, people who jogged for two hours have significantly higher endorphin levels than those who didn’t.
Laying out in the sun: Sunlight synchronize well with our bodies and stimulates our energies. This can cause our bodies to relax which reduces stress. Avoid laying out in the sun for more than 15 minutes straight because you can get sunburn.
Being in the present: The present is the moment of now. When we focus on this moment, everything becomes clearer and we tend to lose focus of the past and future. The past and future is where stress usually occur. Stress can’t occur in the moment of now because it is the still point between the conscious and subconscious mind. This moment of now is where balance takes place.
Learn to say no: Not being able to say no to things that we don’t want to do can lead to big problems. These problems, whether personal or not, can bring a lot of stress into our lives.
Smile more often: When we smile our brains release endorphins and other healing chemicals that can help reduce stress.
Think positive: Positive thoughts call forth inner peace and negative thoughts disturb inner peace. Therefore, when we have more positive thoughts, our state of minds are more at peace which will reduce stress.
Learn to forgive: When we forgive, we can release energy blockages that are causing us emotional pains.
Love self and other self: When we learn how to love ourselves and other selves, we create a reality that has little or no room for negativity. This will help reduce a lot of stress.
Self empowerment: The more self empowerment we have, the more we increase that power within us. This can lead to higher self esteem, confidence and gratitude.

Allimax 100 Percent Allicin – Review

Allimax is a nutraceutical created by Peter Josling and his team of experts. It is the world’s first commercially available stabilized allicin extract. Allicin is a natural chemical compound found in garlic. According to Dr. Deagle, stabilized allicin can kill all known pathogens, and is very effective at killing bacteria and virus, even drug resistant bacteria. Allicin is lethal to bacterias because it attacks them from the inside out. Allimax is commonly used for treating stomach problems related to microbial infection, such as E-coli and salmonella. It is also commonly used for treating strep throat and the flu. Researchers recommend taking 3-6 Allimax capsules per day for these types of infection. Below is a quote from allimax.us.

AlliMAX® is made from fresh, raw garlic. Heads of garlic are specifically selected to ensure that they contain significant enzyme activity (allinase enzyme). Garlic heads are split into cloves, which are left unpeeled and then subjected to crushing, filtration and a temperature controlled extraction process designed to produce pure liquid allicin dissolved in water. No chemical solvents are used. AlliMAX® is capable of destroying a wide range of bacterial, viral and fungal infections. Published work shows excellent activity against, staphylococcus aureus, Candida albicans, Streptococcus species and Helicobacter pylori.

Allimax contained 30 vegetarian capsules (180 mg) of pure stabilized allicin extract. The allicin extract is white in color and looks powdery. Allicin had a strong garlic taste but didn’t smell as bad as garlic. If you don’t like the garlic taste, I recommend swallowing the capsule whole. Also, take it after a meal. According to the manufacturer, Allimax is free from artificial flavors, preservatives, salt and gluten. I bought Allimax for the price of $29.99 shipping not included. Compared to some pharmaceutical drugs, Allimax is very cheap.

For more information or to purchase Allimax, please visit EnergyFanatics Store.

Heart Chakra: The Energy Center of Love and Compassion

Image provided by Lululemon Athletica
Chakra is another name for energy center which is located throughout the surface of the body. The human body consists of thousands of small chakras and seven major chakras. The major chakras are located on the line of symmetry in the human body. The seven main chakras are located within the body and extend outward like two opposite cones. The section where the two cones meet is located at the center of the body. Scientists know that chakra exists because it can be measured by very advanced and sensitive equipments. These equipments are not well-known in mainstream science because they are contradicting to its belief structure.

The heart chakra, also known as anahata, is located a few inches in front and in back of the heart. Its color is green and represent universal love. The heart chakra is the doorway to spiritual knowledge.; therefore, people who have a balanced heart chakra will have greater universal love and understanding. People who have a blocked heart chakra will lack compassion and love. This blockage can cause them to become abusive or afraid of being loved. On the other hand, people with an overactive heart chakra will have too much compassion. As a result, they give and love too much and have a hard time letting go.

If you are a person who lack compassion and love, you may want to do some chakra balancing exercise or visit an energy healer to help unblock your energies. Healing your body using energy techniques may seem strange, but when you break your body down the fundamentals, it is made of nothing but vibrations of energies. From this point of view, it makes perfect sense to heal your body with energy techniques. You may or may not know but many scientists are actually inventing new health technologies for balancing energy. Some of them claimed that their inventions can detect energy blockages and diagnose diseases before they manifest into physical symptoms. These types of technology are not mentioned in conventional medicine because they are a threat to its paradigm.

Keeping the heart chakra balance is very important for healing your body, because the more love and compassion you have, the easier it is for your body to heal itself. The heart’s energy field is very special because it gives us universal characteristics. It is the energy field that bonds the child to his/her mother during and after pregnancy. This is why it is the first organ to function after conception.

How to Test Blood pH Level

Image provided by Abhishek Jacob
Your blood pH level plays an important role for your overall health, because if your blood pH level is acidic, your cells can’t function properly and harmful microorganisms can grow easier. Acidic blood increases your risk of cancer because it decreases oxygen and nutrient levels in your body; therefore, it can starve your cells of essential nutrients. Studies have shown that people with acidic blood have higher risk of heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis, diabetes, arthritis and are more susceptible to diseases.

The human body works similar to an alkaline battery. Thus, when its blood pH level is too acidic it doesn’t function properly. As a result, energy decreases, cells can’t communicate properly, fungus and bacteria starts to grow out of control, and the body’s natural healing and defense systems start to break down. Your blood pH level should be slightly higher than 7.0. If your blood pH level is lower than 7.0, it is considered acidic.

How to test blood pH level

Saliva pH Test: One of the fastest and simplest test for measuring blood pH level but it is not the most accurate. Before taking the test you should wait at least two hours after eating. Depending on the food you eat it can increase or decrease your blood pH level. You should also do more than one test per day to get a better idea of where your blood pH level is at. To do the saliva pH test go buy the pH paper test strip at your local drug stores and health food stores. You can also buy them online at amazon.com.
Urine pH Test: This test works similar to the saliva pH test but urine is used instead of saliva. The pH test strip for testing urine is the same as the saliva pH test strip. For best result, do the test in the morning after your first trip to the bathroom, For the afternoon and evening test, you should wait a few hours after eating before doing them.
Blood pH Test: This test is not as convenient as the saliva and urine pH test but is usually more accurate. To do the blood pH test you will need to visit your doctor and get your blood drawn.
