  Holiday Eating Tip
  Posted on 30 June 2019. Tags: hypoglycemia, Neuroglycopenia, weight loss
  The 4th of July holiday is just ahead. Fireworks… parades, picnics and eating.
  Here is a weight control tip to help overcome excess holiday binges.
  Chart from the Intensive Dietary Management article "Circadian Eating" (1)
  Enjoy your picnic but make it in the middle of the day.
  24 hour circadian rhythms are seen in virtually all animals from flies to humans.
  It is believed that human rhythms evolved to dominate during daylight hours. Our humans ancestors hunted and ate by day because they could not see the food in the dark.
  There a difference between eating during the day and eating at night. Studies comparing the effect of eating a large breakfast versus a large dinner have shown that eating breakfast, or eating earlier in the day helps enhance weight loss.
  For example in one study, two groups of overweight people were divided. One ate a large breakfast. The other ate a large dinner. Both groups ate 1400 calories per day day and the macronutrient composition of each diet was matched. Only the timing of the largest meal was changed. Both groups lost weight, but the big breakfast group lost almost 2.5 times more weight, waist size and body fat.
  However since our ancestors of previous millennia had to get out and hunt or gather in the morning, the circadian system evolved so hunger tends to fall (shown in chart above) to its lowest level at 7:50 am. Food was eaten in the evening after the hunt (or gathering) so hunger naturally peaks at 7:50 pm.
  The practical implication is that because hunger is suppressed in the morning it seems counter-productive to force ourselves to eat at a time when we are not hungry.
  Eating late at night on the other hand also seems to be a poor strategy.
  The optimal strategy is to eat a large meal in the mid-day – sometime between 12:00 and 3:00pm and only a small amount in the evening hours. Interestingly, this is the typical traditional Mediterranean eating pattern.
  If you are caught by hunger pains between meals, try this exercise that overcomes Neuroglycopenia.
  Everyone knows about hypoglycemia but few people understand Neuroglycopenia. Neuroglycopenia is a medical term that refers to a shortage of glucose (glycopenia) in the brain, usually due to hypoglycemia. What few people fail to understand is that blood sugar is important but the brain does not get its glucose from blood. In fact most of the brain does not get anything from blood. The body has a mechanism called the Blood Brain Barrier that is specifically designed to keep blood and brain apart. "Blood and brain, the twain shall never meet".
  The brain gets its glucose from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). The brain creates CSF, a clear fluid, from the blood. CSF then circulates from the brain around the brain and down the spinal cord. CSF carries glucose to the brain.
  A sedentary lifestyle can create Neuroglycopenia. Modern lifestyles impair glucose transport. Have you ever noticed that if you exercise after a meal, you are less hungry than if you are quiescent. I have always wondered, "If I am burning energy why am I not more hungry than if I am not burning energy?"
  The answer is sitting still contributes to neuroglycopenia. The CSF, and the glucose it contains, is partially moved around the brain and spinal cord by two pumping mechanisms at the top (cranium) and the bottom (sacrum) of the spinal column. These pumps are activated by physical movement and deep diaphragm breathing. The diaphragm muscle contracts on the sacrum when you breath in deeply and helps pump CSF up around the spinal cord into the brain.
  Regretfully the brain's response is not "Hey get up and move around so you can pump the damn glucose up here. Do you want me to die or something?" Instead the brain keeps it simple and just says "EAT".
  Moving around and not sitting in one place too long is a really important part of weight control because this goes to the very core of the EAT response.
  A good friend who is a chiropractor taught me this really efficient exercise from a glucose pumping point of view.
  Breathe in as you move your shoulders back and take a deep breath. Picture pinning something in the middle of your back with your shoulder blades. Then breathe out and slowly move your head down, chin to chest and bring your shoulders forward.
  Do this slowly, gently with deep, slow breaths. If you feel even a touch of pain you are doing it too forcefully.
  Does the exercise seem too simple to you? This is the simplest, easiest, most convenient exercise I have ever tried and this is why it is so profound.
  Complex usually does not work.
  Utterly simple works extremely well.
  This exercise helps move fresh, glucose rich CSF to the brain and stops the brain from panicking because it's not getting enough glucose.
  Now when I start to feel the hunger, I do this exercise. "Breathe in as I move my shoulders back and take a deep breath.
  The hunger remains but in a different way.
  Now my thought is, "Just another hour and a half. Yeah I can wait."
  Without the exercise the thought is "EAT!" My clothes definitely fit better and not once has the grey matter taken over. When Mr. Brain sends a signal for more glucose, I do this exercise a few times instead of heading for the fridge.
  There are also other huge natural health benefits. You'll feel greater peace of mind and calmness. The blood sugar roller coaster is one of the four main roots of all types of disease.
  Too much blood sugar causes the body to release numerous hormones including Epinephrine and cortisol. These hormones are contributors of increased anxiety, nervousness and stress. Epinephrine (also known as adrenaline) is released by your body when you are under threat. This is known as the 'fight/flight response'. When adrenaline is released your experience the physiological symptoms of fear, faster heart rate, faster more shallow breathing, muscle tension. There is long standing evidence linking depression and the hormone cortisol. In other words high blood sugar can increase anxiety. Anxiety and depression can create an urge to eat comfort food which energizes the negative high blood sugar cycle.
  Enjoy your 4th of July holiday but make it better by eating right, so when next Tuesday rolls around there are no regrets over holiday excess.
  How the Hogberry Helps With COVID-19
  Gain Amazing Health Benefits with the Hogberry
  Research is showing that excess body fat can complicate the risks of COVID-19.
  A recent article in USA Today, "As obesity's link to COVID-19 grows, one family that lost 24-year-old daughter diets together" (1) tells the tale.
  The article says: The parents and two brothers of Silvia Deyanira Melendez, 24, are all in therapy after losing their daughter and sister to COVID-19 on March 28. She weighed more than 300 pounds with a body mass index of 60, double the BMI considered obese. This most likely contributed heavily to her Type 2 diabetes, hypertension and a heart condition that required open-heart surgery two years ago.
  The chronic conditions that increase the risk of serious illness and death of COVID-19 are now well known: diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and being older than 65. Obesity is less well known or understood. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention groups "severe obesity," defined as having a BMI of 40 or higher, with the other known "risk factors for serious illness" for COVID-19.
  A growing number of studies and data on COVID-19 deaths confirm the link. The extra weight on people in the 40-plus BMI range who contract COVID-19 increases the chance they will require hospitalization, most likely in the intensive care unit. It also hampers the ability of physicians to treat them, especially with ventilators, doctors say.
  Body fat complicates many health problems. For example more than 100 studies have found that physical activity can lower cancer risk and even help cure cancer. Fortunately researchers asked why and one answer became clear. Body fat.
  Studies showed that reduced body fat creates a 25% lower chance of developing cancer.
  Fortunately there is a little known way to reduce body fat that does not even require exercise.? I'll share more on this secret in a moment.
  First, body fat, COVID-19 and cancer? Let's ask why?
  Part of the answer is toxicity.
  Healthy bodies naturally and regularly remove water-soluble toxins from the body. Our blood and kidneys flush them away.
  Fat-soluble toxins such as metals, pesticides, preservatives, other pollutants are harder to flush out of the system. Fat-soluble toxins must become water-soluble before the body can get rid of them. The liver can do this conversion (bile emulsifies fat-souble toxins into water-soluble). This process requires healthy digestive and detox pathways. When they become imbalanced, fat-soluble toxins are stored in fat cells and brain cells instead. These toxins can remain for decades and create health problems.
  The fat stored toxins cause oxidation (free radical damage) and degeneration as well as mutation. Toxins in the fatty tissue of the brain become neurotoxins that can cause cognitive problems and a host of mental and brain imbalances.
  Burn Fat to Burn Toxins
  When you burn fat you turn on the body's detox fuel. Fat metabolism is the body's natural form of energy. Fat metabolism provides a more steady energy than glucose metabolism and flushes fat cells free of toxins. As the toxicity drops, the nervous system has reduced stress and will naturally burn fat instead of sugar.
  This is why I have written a short report entitled "The FAST Way to Better Health" that features a special tea that can help reduce body fat.
  The Key is in the Hogberry
  I would like to send you a report "The FAST Way to Better Health" that reveals the secret of the Hogberry, FREE when you order my three Natural Health reports described below.
  This reoort is only available with my three Natural Health Reports.
  These three reports are about:
  #2: Purification
  #3: Exercise
  In this special offer I want to send you a special report on how you can gain better natural health with the hogberry along with three other reports that reveal secrets of health and longevity.
  The Commonwealth Fund in its latest survey on overall health care ranked US healthcare dead last compared to 10 major countries. Despite being worst, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, New York Times have all warned about huge, increasingly costly, health care changes. There are enormous problems in hospitals and chances are they are going to get worse, with the added complication of COVID-19.
  When it comes to health care, we may well be on our own. The very people, institutions and establishments that we should rely on may actually hurt rather than help our health.
  Ancient health wisdom accumulated around the world, over the millennia, can fill the gap.
  The way to escape the dangers of high cost, deteriorating health care, is to not need it. Declare health independence… and create natural good health. There are dozens of simple, really low costs steps that can improve health… eating, purification, exercise, even the way we think and don't think when we sleep.
  Ancient health wisdom from around the world can help us reduce our risks of poor health care and help us fight the ever rising costs.
  For nearly 50 years my wife Merri and I have lived and worked around the world. During this time, we checked out just about every source on natural health care. We even spent years living with natural health care insiders, and trying the lessons they offered.
  We took thousands of readers to Ecuador, met with shamans in the Andes and Amazon. We helped other readers visit India and also learn great health care ideas from China and beyond.
  Since not everyone can go to Ecuador or travel the world, we have created three Natural Health Reports that can help improve the power that your body has. These reports are concise and to the point. In 15 minutes the first report shows exactly how to start preparing for better health and more energy.
  We do not have to depend on the health care and health insurance monopolies for better natural health… or cave into a healthcare system that can put us at risk and charge outrageous prices at the same time.
  Our health reports provide information on how to use ancient health care systems to become more healthy, self sufficient – providing our own good health.
  The first report is "Sunski?", the Andean word for good eating, for maximum nutrition and purification.
  We started the series with eating because so many of our readers have found that a blend of Indian and Andean shamanic nutrition helped them kick start their health with weight trimming.
  Good eating is the first step towards natural health. The first rule of good health is getting the correct nutrition. The second step is purification of toxins and eating to avoid getting impurities in our body in the first place!
  Sunski is a way to eat that strengthens and purifies as it stops adding toxicity from eating. Yet Sunski is a delicious, healthy "self defined" cleansing process. One chapter in Sunski shows how to correct a simple mistake that most of the Western population makes which increases the chances of adding and retaining weight by 84%.
  Sunski combines lessons about healthy eating that we learned from years of working with all types of Western healers, ayurvedic health masters and then living with an Ecuador Taita Yatchak and his apprentices.
  We lived, worked, farmed, cooked and ate with this Taita Yatchak for years while learning "Sunski".
  The "Sunski" report was 50 years and millions of miles of travel in the making.
  We've invested thousands of hours into learning the skills of health self-reliance and resilience, identifying the best foods and combinations and sifted through loads of seeming contradictions to get to the facts about "do it yourself" longevity and natural health.
  But that wasn't enough – not when our good health was on the line. So we consulted dozens of top professions who know a lot about natural health. We spoke with holistic MDs, osteopaths, chiropractors, Indian vidyas, Andean yatchaks, and other self-reliant natural health experts who live a naturally healthy path every day.
  Don't let the simplicity fool you… years of research went into these reports.
  And we only kept the best of the best: this system is complete – and FAST to learn – so you can get started immediately.
  We all need to stay out of hospitals and reduce our exposure to modern medical risks and costs.
  Why re-invent the wheel? Especially when time is NOT on our side.? We've already done the hard work for you pulling together the information so you can create better natural, good health.
  Imagine… never worrying about what you eat and reducing the risks of hospitalization and health care's outrageous costs.
  A few of the life balancing nutritional tips include how to:
  #1: Eat a balance of fat, carbohydrates and protein.
  #2: Eat combinations of food for ideal digestion.
  #3: Eat in good spirits at the right times of day while chewing in a special way.
  This report includes a complete list of EZ to use recipes that will immediately improve your short term energy… and your long term natural health – so that you never have to guess what foods you need (or rely on the health care establishment).
  One of the recipes is for high protein Chocolate Quinoa Pancakes.
  Carrot Cake Quinoa Brownie with Stevia
  Thermos Quinoa Kichiri
  High Protein Veggie Almond Savory Cottage Pie
  Mild Turmeric Curry
  Low Carb Quinoa Tapioca Crumble
  Merri's Blackberry Crumble with Quinoa and Stevia
  Merri's Quinoa Strawberry Shortcake
  Merri's Quinoa Corn Bread
  Merri's Quinoa Corn Bread Dressing
  Timbal of Quinoa topped with Ginger or Parmesan Cheese
  Quinoa Gazpacho With a Sherbert of Coriander
  Quinoa Taboleh
  Quinoa Avocado Curry
  All of these recipes are in "Sunski" just one of the three natural health reports.
  These recipes are easy to make, delicious to eat, inexpensive but balanced and healthy foods prepared in ways that provide nutrition and purification.
  Learn how nutritional secrets can help keep you out of the hospital.
  Here are a few facts and health tools you gain:
  The single biggest constraint you'll face in your eating habits? – and how you can eliminate it by adding two simple recipes to your Sunski system.
  How to calculate exactly how much food you need so you don't over or under build your nutritional plan.
  A simple solution for making sure that your food delivers what your body needs when you need it.
  What components you can choose for yourself and how to avoid mass diets that seem to work for every one except you.
  The best long term solution for avoiding sugar.
  Use sweet spices to compensate for stress.
  Specific types of unique spices that give you the biggest energy bang for your buck.
  Spices that cleanse and purify.
  Three changes in your fruit consumption that is a critical component for long term purification.
  The best times to eat specific foods.
  How to direct different foods to different parts of the body.
  Three teas that add a resilience to your natural health system that are easy to make and enjoy at home at a low cost.
  Why it is good (in fact almost a requirement) to sometimes eat junk food.
  All of this information is in "Sunski" the first of the three natural health reports.
  These reports focus on how to have good natural health so you can remain independent and avoid costly medical care.
  The second report shows you how to purify and detoxify existing poisons that have accumulated in your system.
  The third report is about exercise… but not the type you would think.
  Unlock the Mystery of Key Muscles
  This third report unveils one exercise that energizes and coordinates the digestive system by exercising a set of key muscles, not while you are in a gym, but when you eat! The body has a number of key muscles that regulate breathing, digestion, circulation, elimination and muscular motion.
  The third report reveals an exercise you can do at the dinner table to energize these muscles which in turn coordinate every other muscle and organ in the body. Eating in this way for example (most of the modern world does not) energizes just one key muscle that regulates part of our ability to burn sugars and fat.
  The report looks at oxygenation, coordination, purification, energy boosting, education, occupation and relaxation.

  Here is what others have said about this information:
  "Though I ate more than ever, my weight dropped and I lost two inches off my waist." – S.H. Oregon
  "The life path altering effects from the weekend with you and Merri continue. Thank you again. I have begun to change my diet. Bless you!" – D.B. Connecticut
  "You are indeed a spiritual pioneer, blending disciplines to create tools and resources for success in this new land of opportunity. Anyone who thinks this is just all about money is missing the real message: This is about life in its most profound implications." – W.P. Australia
  "I want to thank you for the wonderful time. I travailed from California to hear you convey your knowledge in the way you do so well, and I wasn't disappointed. The amount of information in the sessions was almost overwhelming, but it's exactly what I went to hear." – B.R. California
  "The technical information I gathered was most not new to me, but I like to compliment you for putting it all in the right perspective and to make it very understandable to all. What was at our opinion one of the most important gaining of these 3 days is the opening of the new world, this new circle of what you call 'normal' people! (I call us 'not normal' as a matter of respect to the majority.) But as we know, all is relative and depends at the point of view of each, His spiritual mind and his opinion about the senses of our being." – E.V. Florida
  "People who, among other things, are active and productive and creative and resourceful, whose word can be counted upon; People who realize that spirituality DOES NOT mean sitting in a cave contemplating your navel and weaving baskets, nor does it equate in the Western culture with living in abject poverty. People who realize that abundance is not a dirty word. People who understand that we are here to ENGAGE life, not to submit to circumstances out of fear and ignorance and apathy; People who don't just use the most current 'buzz words' so they can feel like they are part of the group, but who actually DO something… Builders. Thank you for showing up in my life." – E.W. Nevada
  Good health is the most important asset in stressful times. Beyond the fact that modern health intervention (ie. hospital) can destroy one's finances, being in good health brings the energy and balance required to make sound investing and business decisions.
