The Success-Indicator by MaryEllen Tribby


GM Freeze | A hard look at glyphosate

Glyphosate, marketed by Monsanto as Roundup, is the world’s best selling weedkiller and the basis for GM herbicide tolerant crops, which can absorb high levels of the herbicide without being killed. GM companies promised it would cut costs and work for farmers.
How glyphosate works in plants and soil.
The truth emerging is that this is not the case.

  • Myocardial infarction (heart attack)
  • Cerebrovascular accident (stroke)
  • Cancer
  • Diabetes
  • Thyroid-related health challenges
  • Neurological conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's
  • Depression
  • Infertility

Creating Positive Health: It’s More Than Risk Reduction

Wouldn’t it be great if health and wellness professionals looked for the causes of a better life and higher productivityinstead of the causes of problems? It seems current health professionals have a greater focus on disease and problems than health, well-being, and success.
Today, many think of health as pictured by John Travis’ 1970s Illness–Wellness Continuum that showed early death on one side and high-level wellness on the other (Travis and Ryan, 2004). Even so, to day’s approach to health and wellness is still based on what is wrong, instead of what is right. Pathogenesis, the scientific study of disease origins, has created this focus. Pathogenesis, which measures health by the incidence of problems, has guided the efforts of today’s health professionals.
Success with this approach therefore becomes a return to the status quo through the avoidance or elimination of problems and/or deaths rather than the creation of desired positive outcomes beyond the absence of disease.

Eating a More Alkaline Diet for Bone Health

For several years, there has been discussion about the influence foods can have on the acid-alkaline balance (or pH level) of blood in the body and on health, especially bone health. The theory is that a diet consisting mostly of food metabolized to acids—such as protein, processed foods, and cereals—may increase the acidity of blood. To counteract this change in pH, alkaline calcium compounds may leach from bones making them weak and brittle.
Thus, the dietary advice would be to eat a diet high in alkaline-producing foods—such as fruits and vegetables, which are metabolized to alkaline bicarbonates—to maintain a healthy pH level and preserve bone mass and density.

Written by
 
There are many ways through which we may be “leaking” money from our business and our lives. Not all of them are apparent, and there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution to plugging them because these “leaks” are reflection of your “money personality” – and it is different for everyone.

Horsemeat Found in Meatballs, Lasagna...

Dear Friend,
It's disturbing. It started earlier this year when grocery store chains in Europe were found to be selling frozen “beef” products made of horse meat. The scandal spread across Europe as about five percent of beef products—everything from hamburgers to meatballs—tested positive for horse DNA.

Healthy Lifestyle Tip: The Surprising Power of Happiness

-->
 If you had to choose a theme song for your life, would it be, "I Can't Get No Satisfaction" or "Don't Worry, Be Happy"? Great news if you picked the latter: You're less likely to have a heart attack. British research has found that the more satisfied you are with your life, the lower your danger of coronary heart disease.
While it's long been known that negative emotions, depression, and anxiety can put you at risk for heart disease, there's been surprisingly little research on whether positive emotions prevent coronary trouble. To find out, scientists asked nearly 8,000 people to rate their satisfaction in key areas of life: jobs, family, love, leisure, standard of living, and self. Those who scored higher than average in all categories had up to 13 percent less risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and angina. That's major.
While it's not yet clear exactly how feeling good about your life helps your heart, it's well established that happiness is vital to your health. Studies have repeatedly found that happy people produce fewer stress-related hormones, have stronger immune systems, and live longer. Now it's clear that one reason is their hearts. Ready to turn that frown upside down?
