The article is about Workplace Bullying?and how it causes stress to the the victim. The article also cites ways to prevent bullying in the workplace.

stress and anxiety, anxiety panic attacks, stress management

I was with the company for 5 years and was already occupying a supervisory position. But then came the new manager with whom I did not see “eye to eye.? I just couldn’t take it anymore since we didn’t share the same views on workplace policies. He didn’t say it much but somehow he always made it a point to show that he disliked. He often ignores me or gives a sneer when I suggest something to improve our department. Worse… some of my colleagues are now being influenced by this new manager. They are now imitating his bullying.?— David.

David is a classic example of a victim of workplace bullying. No wonder, David often experiences anxiety and panic attacks. According to research conducted by the The Workplace Bullying Institute, workplace bullying is now among the causes of poor employee retention, resignation, and other organizational problems. A third of the human-resource executives surveyed said that they had personally witnessed or experienced workplace bullying.

“Bullying?is also known as “mobbing?— or a frequent and systematic form of harrassment. So-called school based bullying occurs when a child torments, taunts or intimidates another child in school. The workplace version may be looked at as en extension of that form of harassment into the world of adults in the office. In the workplace, bullying comes in the form of criticism, teasing and even sarcasm directed an another employee. Harassment in the workplace ranges from antagonism and up to extreme acts that could even lead to physical injuries. The target is subjected to character assassination, aggressive behavior, verbal abuse, and the cold-shoulder treatment. Some are deliberately singled out to do unpleasant or hard tasks. Colleagues may even try to sabotage the victims’ work, hampering his or her productivity — even going so far as hacking the victims’ office computer.

The common stereotype of a bullied person is someone who is a loner or weak in character. However, there are cases when the one being bullied is a capable staff member and may even be well- liked by co-workers. The bully considers their capability a threat and, therefore, is determined to make that person’s work life miserable or so hard that the victim no longer poses as a threat to the bully’s career.

Effects of this harassment can cause victimes to suffer from stress, anxiety, and serious health problems. Absenteeism from work is one clear sign of a stress-related illness. Sleeping disorders, depression, and anxiety panic attacks are the most well-known consequences of harassment. The effects of harassment goes beyond the workplace as it also affects the victim’s marriage or personal life.

A bully can contaminate a workplace environment by causing fear, anger, and low morale. About 80% of bullies are bosses. Some co-workers and a few higher-ups can aslo engage in bullying taactics. A bully can either be a man or a woman. Bullying affects productivity and, as a result, the bottomline of a company. On the other hand, bullying can also be a source of problems for management especially when victims file law suits and compensation claims due to work-related stress.

To address bullying, there must be clear and strict workplace policies in order to stop or prevent this form of workplace harassment. Employers must conduct risk assessments and implement guidelines and stress management programs. With better decision-making processes and policies, the employer can prevent a potential “war zone?in the company. This will take efforts that may entail the conduct of investigations and conflict resolution to prevent the escalation of a problem between employees.

Yoga is more popular now than it has ever been. Famous entertainers and other celebrities practice it and thousands or perhaps millions of other people are also doing yoga exercises in one form or another. Yet, despite this widespread popularity, yoga is still misunderstood. Many people think that yoga is primarily a physical activity, something that they can use to get their body in shape. While it is true that yoga has a great role to play in the physical realm, yoga is much more than this.

Yoga is, in its deepest sense, the science of human perfection. It is the means by which a person can attain his or her fullest development: physical, mental and spiritual.

Human perfection? This is a tall order. It does not come with just a few stretches of your thighs. While yoga has its external practices and exercises, its true foundation is proper conduct. Proper conduct means living a life that will put you in harmony with the society around you and with your own inner self.

When I first began practicing yoga, I told one of my friends about it. He became interested and wanted to begin. I wasn’t a teacher at that time so I recommended a book. He looked at me and said, with all seriousness, “Where can I steal it!?
Well, you can’t begin yoga like that because stealing is not a way to get in harmony with society or with yourself. In yoga disciplined or controlled conduct is known by its Sanskrit term, “samyama?and this controlled conduct has two parts “Yama?and “Niyama.?
In many yoga books Yama is sometimes defined as “abstinences,?meaning things that you shouldn’t do. Niyama is sometimes translated as “observances,?referring to things that you should do. These rough translations are not quite correct.

A better way to understand Yama is to think of it as a discipline that will help you to find harmony with your external environment. Niyama, on the other hand, are those practices that will help you to attain internal harmony.

Let’s look briefly at the various parts of Yama and Niyama. In future articles of this series I will focus in more detail on each aspect of Yama and Niyama.

Yama has five parts. They are as follows.

1. “Ahimsa?means to refrain from harming others with your thoughts, words or actions. Consciously we should not do anything that will harm others or block their physical, mental or spiritual progress. If you want a two or three-word English definition of this Sanskrit word just remember “non injury?or “non-harming.?But there is more to Ahimsa than just two words. What about self-defense? What about our relations to other living beings? These are important issues and there are a variety of viewpoints. I will discuss them at length in the next article in this series.

2. “Sayta?is generally referred to as truthfulness. A better definition given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti is “action of mind and right use of words with the spirit of welfare.?Whatever we think or say should be done with the spirit of helping others. It generally means to tell the truth, but if the exact truth will create harm to someone, then we have to choose our words carefully. That is why a good two-word definition would be “discriminating truthfulness.?
3. “Asteya?means non-stealing. We should not take possession of something that is owned by another. We should not even think of stealing something and we should also refrain from depriving others of what they are due.

4. “Brahmacarya?literally means to “remain attached to Brahma (the Supreme Consciousness). The idea of this practice is to treat every living and non-living entity as an expression of God.

5. “Aparigraha?is defined as non-accumulation of physical objects that are superfluous to our needs. According to your circumstances you should acquire what you need to live your life, but you should not accumulate luxuries that go beyond your real needs.

These are the five parts of Yama.

Just as there are five aspects of yama, niyama is also composed of five principles. Practice these five and you will achieve inner harmony. Briefly, they are as follows:

1. “Shaoca?(pronounced: Sha-o-cha) means cleanliness and purity. Keep your environment clean and your thoughts pure. The old proverb says “Cleanliness is next to Godliness?and it is true.

2. “Santosha?is contentment of mind. Work hard, do the best you can, and then remain contented with what you have.

3. “Tapah?signifies the practice of penance to reach the goal. It doesn’t mean suffering for the sake of suffering. Rather, look around and you will find people with difficulties. Take on some of the burdens of others and you will not only help society but your own inner self will be purified.

4. “Svadhyaya?is the study and true understanding of uplifting literature. Whenever possible seek out the company of spiritually minded people. When that is not possible read and absorb the teachings contained in books written by enlightened teachers.

5. “Iishvara Pranidhana?literally means to take shelter in the controller of the universe. It is practiced through daily meditation on the ultimate goal of life.

In the following articles of this series I will explain each part of Yama and Niyama with more detail.

Worry No More About Unexpected Pregnancy

The article is a guide for women on how to cope with unexpected pregnancies. It discuses a couple of helpful tips on what a woman should do and consider once pregnancy is confirmed. The article will definitely guide readers on the emotional, psychological, as well as financial aspects of unexpected pregnancy.

pregnancy, depression, stress relief, treatment

It all started one morning when you just couldn’t drag your body out of the bed. You felt nauseated, sick, and too exhausted to get up and get ready to go to work. For the first time, you incurred a late mark in your spotless attendance record, and you just felt irritated and snappish even in mere conversations with your colleagues.

As you still feel nauseous and sick the next day, your fear and suspicions were heightened as the home pregnancy kit you used produced a single blue line. You excused yourself at work for one day and went straight to your gynecologist. Finally, the doctor confirmed that you are, indeed, pregnant.

Just like some women, your pregnancy might be unexpected. If so, then you are probably not ready emotionally, psychologically, as well as financially for your pregnancy. Unexpected pregnancies usually happen to single women who got themselves involved in one-night-stand affairs.

The best thing to do when caught in this unpredicted situation is not to panic and start focusing on the things you ought to do and prioritize now that your pregnancy is confirmed.

Now, if you are a soon-to-be single mom and you are a bit unsure of what to do next with your life, the following is a helpful guide that can surely help you with your pregnancy:

1. Inform the father and your family about your pregnancy.

The first thing you need to do once you confirm that you are pregnant is to inform your condition to the father of your baby as well as to your family. Since it is most likely that your family will acknowledge and accept your pregnancy, there is always a chance that the father will not.

If the father refuses to take responsibility or help you with your pregnancy, you can then decide if you either want to continue having and raising your baby; continue having the baby then set up an adoption; or just end the pregnancy. However, ending the pregnancy is not really the best option to take, especially if you can raise your baby all by yourself.

2. Talk to an expert to relieve yourself from stress and depression due to unexpected pregnancy.

If you feel that you need to talk to someone about your condition and situation, consulting a psychologist might help as a stress relief. It is quite normal to feel down and depressed in having to deal with an unexpected pregnancy alone. Hence, relieving your worries to a person who can understand you is good therapy or treatment.

3. Take serious care of your body.

No one is bound to take good care of yourself other than you. This is, of course, for the sake of your baby. If you are healthy and free from any worry, these will reflect on your baby as well. So, while pregnant, be sure to have plenty of rest; exercise daily; avoid smoking; maintain a healthy diet; refrain from drinking alcoholic drinks; and never take any anti-anxiety drug or medication without consulting your doctor first.

4. Know your benefits and privileges from your company.

It is your right to know your benefits and privileges as a pregnant employee from your company. Take advantage of these entitlements for these can make your pregnancy easier as well as lessen your financial worries.

The article talks about the benefits of Yoga and Tai Chi in one’s lifestyle. These exercises and meditative activities may help ease stress, anxiety, and other related illnesses.

Some people have a foolish way of not minding, or pretending not to mind, what they eat. For my part, I mind my belly very studiously, and very carefully. For I look upon it, that he who does not mind his belly will hardly mind anything else.–Samuel Johnson (poet, essayist, biographer, lexicographer)

Nowadays, people are so conscious about their health and body figure. Many people regularly visit the gym for weight training, cardiovascular exercise, or to simply have friends who share their passion for fitness. Many fitness gyms offer the latest in weight and cardio-machines. Others specialize in special fitness programs or routines like Pilates, Tae-Bo, Belly Dancing, Hip-Hop Exercises, and even Pole Dancing.

But lately, Yoga and Tai Chi classes have been gaining popularity especially among women and above-40 fitness buffs. These Indian and Chinese methods of meditation and exercise are popular due to the health benefits experienced by those practice them. Many health buffs claim that they now enjoy a stress and anxiety-free lifestyle because of their Tai Chi and Yoga lessons.

Studies show that these kinds of exercise do have beneficial effects on the mind and body. These religious-philosophical movements gave emphasis to the state of Zen. According to Buddhism, the term “zen?refers to the attainment of a stage of “awakening.?This belief was introduced in China by a Buddhist monk named Bodhidharma in A.D. 520. According to studies, people who cling to the teachings of Zen endeavor to achieve “satori?which is also called “nirvana? “Satori?in general can only be reached through a meditation called “zazen?which, in turn, leads to a state of mushin or “no mind? Mushin is the ability to see things more clearly mentally. It means that one’s judgment will not be blurred with negative thoughts. Although this belief originated from the south, many Western students and practitioners of Yoga and Tai-Chi are satisfied with the health and vitality it brings.

Yoga benefits

Practicing yoga increases flexibility because stretching exercises the different tendons, ligaments, and joints of the body. Studies also say that yoga is probably the only form of activity that massages all the internal organs and glands in the body. These may include the prostate, which according to medical specialists hardly receives stimulation. This massage or stimulation may keep certain individuals from diseases and other forms of illness. Yoga ensures the best supply of blood to the body. This helps detoxify the body of toxins and, in the process, delays aging and renewed energy. Muscles are also toned because of repeated stimulation through yoga.

Tai Chi benefits

Medical researchers and Tai Chi practitioners claim that immediate benefits occur from day one of practice. These may include a more relaxed and clearer mind. Clinical studies in the US show that improved balance and peace of mind took place after only eight weeks of training. These benefits were immediately evident after performing very simple set of movements taken from different Tai Chi styles. Other benefits of this “soft?martial arts include improved internal organ functions, improved breathing, and better sleep. Additional reports show that people who practice Tai Chi enjoyed improved strength and reduced stress, aside from gaining the ability to better deal with anxiety attacks.

However, people with a history of heart disease, back injuries, and those who have undergone recent surgery should consult a physician before starting a Yoga or Tai Chi routine. In general, Tai Chi and Yoga are very effective routines to bring back health and a sense of peace of mind to a devoted practioner. Done properly, these ancient arts of exercise and meditation can help provide anxiety relief and alleviate other forms of stress.

It certainly needs a lot of courage to buy and use anabolic steroids. Anabolic steroids are the synthetic hormones derived from the chief male sex hormone testosterone. Anabolic steroids have a number of benefits, but these drugs are often dreaded because of the side effects associated with them. So, you need to be brave enough to use anabolic steroids.

Certainly, I don’t mean that you should not care for the side effects of anabolic steroids. Definitely, anabolic steroids cause side effects, but only when they are used carelessly and excessively. Anabolic steroids do cause side effects, if they are used for a longer period of time or permanently. They surely cause side effects, if they are used recklessly.

Surely, anabolic steroids are not meant to be used recklessly rather these are drugs that are meant to be used rather sensibly. Certainly, anabolic steroids do not cause any severe and dangerous side effects, if they are used with extreme care. Anabolic steroids offer you great benefits, if you use these drugs rightly and in right manner.

Often, average doses for different anabolic steroids are recommended on their packs. You can also go thru a number of anabolic steroid profiles to learn the right way of using your anabolic steroids. You should never abuse anabolic steroids, and you should never go beyond the limit of the doses prescribed for particular anabolic steroids. Often, separate doses are prescribed for men and women. The men should not go beyond their limit, and the women must stay in their limits.

The second thing you must keep in your mind is that you should not use anabolic steroids for longer period of time. These drugs are pretty safe, if they are used for the shorter periods. You should use your anabolic steroids properly following proper cycles, and you must use cutting drugs in between your cycles. These are the drugs that are often used between the steroid cycles.

Definitely, you can have great benefits of anabolic steroids, if you use them rightly. However, you really need a lot of courage to use anabolic steroids. You needn’t feel sacred of their side effects, because there are a lot of drugs available on the market to prevent the possible side effects of anabolic steroids. You can use some of these drugs to stay safe from fallouts of anabolic steroids.

Are you planning for your private swimming pool? It’s really a nice idea! Your private swimming pool is your eternal source of leisure & pleasure.

Your private swimming pool is one of the highly valued luxuries of modern times. It’s the amenity that raises the value of your home. It helps saving a lot of your money that you usually spend on traveling to beaches, congested public swimming pools, and leisure centers.

Your private swimming pool is the pleasing place where you & your family will love to spend time, swimming, playing, splashing, exercising, etc. It’s one of your most valuable assets, but it isn’t at all expensive.

In the case of your in-ground pool, it would be a wise decision to get help from an expert contractor who specializes in pools. Materials and supplies can be purchased from a well-reputed company. It is always better to have skilled persons for plumbing and electric fittings during installation.

The quality of your swimming pool liner is essential to your pool’s water quality. It prevents your pool water from being polluted. You must check the kind of material used for your liner. It is also helpful in maintaining proper PH level, and stops algae and other organic matter from growing. Your swimming pool liners made with vinyl or plastic can be quite decorative.

When you are working out on rowing machines or any other type of exercise equipment its possible to hurt yourself. As you travel the road to fitness you will find that you experience many aches and pains. The best way to avoid this is to work out properly.

Before you begin workout you must begin the warm-up and cool-down exercises that go with it. To warm up do some simple stretches or yoga. This will stretch out the muscles and limit your risks of sprain. In a cool-down routine you would do a similar set of stretches after your workout to ease your muscles and help to prevent cramps.

If you are injured on rowing machines limit the activity which initially caused your injury. If this was working out for too long or setting the tension too high reduce the one or other, or both. Though try to get back to exercising as soon as you can because exercise has actually been shown to speed up the healing process.

When you get a cramp from using rowing machines, you can try to get up and slowly walk around to ease the cramping. Sometimes you can stretch the cramp out until the muscle stops seasoning.

You can use alternating hot and cold on the injury to keep it from swelling up and hurting. Ice will slow down blood flow initially and keep it from swelling. A hot pack will seep in and ease the pain, relaxing muscles. Be sure to alternate every five to ten minutes.

Lastly for cramping, muscle pain and pinched nerves you can gently massage the area to ease away pain. This also helps to work out any kinks that may have occurred during your exercise routine. Be sure to check out some rowing machine reviews to see what others suggest to help prevent minor and major injuries.

Workplace Issues: One of the Causes of Stress

How workplace issues can be the cause of our stress

anxiety panic attack, stress management

Work. Work is sometimes referred to as “the sum of our existence.?Work is why we get up early in the morning and go home late at night. Work is what consumes most of our energies. We need to have jobs, so we are not idle, so we can have sense of purpose, and so we can survive in today’s world. Work utilizes our talents, supports our family’s needs and wants. However, work is also where we tend to be stressed out, with related issues making us weak, and at times, it even gives us some anxiety panic attacks.

It is mostly at the office where we get spent our waking hours. It is there that that, no matter how much you try to avoid it, you end up feeling like you’re trying to outrun a roadrunner despite knowing the futility of the act. It is there that the potential for conflict is high. You get to meet difficult people, you have an “impossible?boss, and you might encounter someone trying to make a move on the same position you’ve been eying for the past six months. It is there that you first have this mid-life crisis. It is there that temptations abound left and right.

The long hours, the threats of being laid-off, and workplace bullying can cause harmful emotional and physical responses. These things can happen whenever there is a conflict between job demands and working with other people. In retrospect, the high demands of a particular job and the knowledge that we don’t have any control of the situation often leads to stress.

Stress produces strain, disrupts equilibrium, and it is the source of any number of emotional, physical, economic and social problems. The stress from our work could be from countless hours in overtime, cutbacks on our privileges, and the pressure to perform to an exacting standard. Prolonged workplace stress leads to absenteeism, sickness, dissatisfaction, high employee turn-over, and reduced job efficiency. Even petty office politics can be enough to set someone off, making them irritable and rash with their decisions.

According the National Institute For Occupational Mental Health report cites the following about workplace stress:

? 25% view their jobs as the number one causes of stress in their lives
? Three-fourths of employees believe that workers have more on-the-job stress than a generation ago
? 26% of workers said they were “felt burned out often?by their job
? Job stress is more strongly associated with health complaints than financial problems

SYMPTOMS OF WORKPLACE STRESS

? Aching muscles
? Restless sleep
? Fatigue
? Loss of appetite
? Irritability
? Low morale
? Headache
? Upset stomach

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Don’t reach for a chocolate bar for comfort or grab a burger to cope with stress. Here are tips to manage workplace stress.

1. Yoga ?preferably in a gym near your office
2. Proper Planning ?schedule your business trips and other matters, but leave room for adjustments
3. Balance ?find time to focus on your personal and family life
4. Social Network ?surround yourself with friends you can lean on
5. Positive Outlook ?let work-related issues cease to bother you at work

There is a need to have stress management programs. Companies should be concerned with their employees’ mental health, as well as the physical, as stress hampers productivity. They should help solve difficult work situations and get to the bottom line. Stress management programs teach workers about the nature and sources of stress, as well as the effects on their health. This program is workable and easy to implement, with many potential benefits for the employer and the employees alike.

You must not only consider the possible health risks but also the potential legal consequences, before you buy steroids. It can be extremely dangerous to buy steroids. Anabolic steroids can lead you to jails, or strict federal penalties. So, you should be very careful while you go to buy steroids. You must know the potential legal consequences, before you buy steroids.

You must not only consider the possible health risks but also the potential legal consequences, before you buy steroids. It can be extremely dangerous to buy steroids. Anabolic steroids can lead you to jails, or strict federal penalties. So, you should be very careful while you go to buy steroids. You must know the potential legal consequences, before you buy steroids.

Anabolic steroids, you know, are classified as controlled substances under U.S. federal law and the laws of many states. It is a federal crime to use/possess/distribute/buy steroids without proper prescriptions from doctors. The Anabolic steroids Control Act of 1990 places anabolic steroids in the same legal class ?Schedule III ?as amphetamines, methamphetamines, opium, and morphine.

Simply the possession of any of Schedule III substances is a federal felony that could fetch you federal punishment up to one year in prison and/or a minimum fine of $1,000. If you are caught possessing anabolic steroids with a previous conviction for certain offenses, including any drug or narcotic crimes, you could get imprisonment of at least 15 days and up to two years, and a minimum fine of $2,500. With two or more such previous convictions, you could face imprisonment of not less than 90 days but not more than three years, and a minimum fine of $5,000, just for simply possessing any of Schedule III substances.

It’s not just about possessing Schedule III substances, but selling these substances is also a serious crime. Selling steroids or possessing them with intent to sell, is a federal crime. If you buy steroids, and possess them with intent to sell, you could get punishment up to five years in prison (with at least two additional years of supervised release) and/or a $250,000 fine. If you commit such a violation after a prior conviction for a drug offense, you could faces up to ten years imprisonment (with at least four additional years of special parole) and/or increased fines. Thus, you commit a federal crime when you buy steroids for non therapeutic use, without proper prescriptions from doctors.

Often, you feel that it’s pretty safe to buy steroids thru internet, but it’s not true. The Federal Postal inspectors also monitor the U.S. mails. Suspicious packages coming from overseas can be examined. The domestic parcels from California and the Southwest to sites on the East Coast are often monitored. If illegal drugs are found in your mail, the U.S. Postal inspectors will often arrange a “controlled delivery?of the package to you. If you accept the package, police agents with a search warrant can search out your place for additional drugs. So, it’s not risk free to buy steroids thru mail order. If you get arrested for possessing/buying anabolic steroids, you are advised to stay silent until you consult your lawyer. You should not answer any questions until you speak to your lawyer.

Your Quality of Life

The human body is an amazing biological organism, which is bombarded with free-radical damage everyday. There are steps you must take now in order to ensure a good healthy quality of life into your senior years. Without your health; what do you really have?

Death, illness, heart disease, chronic inflammation, immune system, pain, free-radicals, pollution, diet, food, diabetes, mangosteen, xanthones

Your body is a living biological organism just like any plant or other animal, all your organs, fluids and cells work as a team, if one part of the team is not at its best, your body becomes diseased and illness sets in.

Think of your body as a football team, you don’t have to know anything about football; all you need to know is that you have a home team and an opposing team. The football field is your life, from the moment of the first play, your birth, to the final goal, the end of your life. The opposing team, all the outside evading sources are attempting to cut your life short by stealing the ball and going in the opposite direction. I call this premature death due to disease or illness.

The opposing team is made up of some really big players, free-radicals and chronic inflammation, these players never get tired and they will never give up. From the moment you are born, free-radicals enter into your very young body with your very first breath and start their attack on your cells. Free-radicals are molecules or atoms that are missing an electron, they attack any cell they come in contact with and try to steal an electron from them. Free-radicals continue their attack until they succeed, in the process they damage the healthy cells they are attacking. Free-radicals are a part of life. They are in air and water pollution, they are in the processed foods we consume, free-radicals are also caused by traumas and injuries. Another source of free-radical damage comes from the medications we take in order to recover from illnesses; this particular free-radical damage from medications is called “side-effects? There are times in our lives when we need to take medications to combat a serious illness, but we must keep in mind that we have to boost our immune system during the time we are on these needed medications. This will minimize the side effect damage and aid in our long term recovery. Every time you breathe, fresh free-radicals are entering your body and start playing for the opposing team. The next opposing team member is chronic inflammation; scientists are calling this player a silent killer. Our bodies are amazing organisms; if it senses an injury or illness it sends in a home team member, called inflammation, to aid in the defense of our body and help restore the area that is damaged. This is where the game gets a little complicated; free-radicals cheat, they don’t just damage a cell when they steal an electron, they actually mutate the cell or deform it, the damaged cell then becomes another free-radical; when the home teams healthy inflammation tries to go in and protect the now unhealthy cell that the body senses as damaged, the unhealthy cell turns on the inflammation and attacks it stealing an electron. Now the once healthy inflammation cells become mutated or deformed themselves and become chronic inflammation attacking healthy tissues inside our bodies. Boy oh boy, this starts a whole chain of continuing events. But remember this; the football game has two teams playing on the field.

You have to breathe everyday in order to live; now you know that every time you take a breath free-radicals are entering into your body and doing damage. You can however win the game if you take in large amounts of anti-oxidants to refresh your team players. Anti-oxidants are your really big players; they are molecules or atoms that have an extra electron that they will give to a free-radical. When this happens the free-radical no longer plays on the opposing team, instead it begins to play for you. This is what I call building your team forces, your team force is your immune system. Your team works together but your immune system is your coach, if your immune system is strong it can send in the needed players at the right time to fight any invaders that your body may encounter. But you have to feed your immune system; it requires necessary minerals and vitamins as well as large doses of anti-oxidants everyday. If you starve your immune system of the required nutrients, then the players on the field do not get the reinforcements they need to win. Most people start taking multi-vitamins when they get older, but parents should start their children on multi-vitamins as soon as possible and teach their children about nutrition starting at a very young age. People as young as 20 years of age are being diagnosed with diabetes in this country due to their poor eating habits. This is a very scary trend that is taking place. Many 30 year olds have heart disease also due to their poor eating habits, “hardening of their arteries? Scary!

What did you eat today? You are breathing in polluted air as you are reading this article, what type of defense did you provide your immune system with today? I hope you took your vitamins and minerals; did you eat any fresh fruits, or fresh vegetables? What about your children?

Most plants contain about 1,000 to 1,500 anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals also contain large numbers of anti-oxidants. Vitamin C and E contain the largest amount of anti-oxidants. You can take as much vitamin C as you want without harming your body, but vitamin E has a recommended dosage per day, take much more and you can cause yourself problems, do not exceed any recommended dosage for your weight. Fish also have high numbers of anti-oxidants, try putting that into your diet a few times a week. Now think about this, you can destroy the anti-oxidants in your food through your cooking habits. Do not microwave your vegetables or fish, either steam or broil; do not cover in fats and fry. Foods are delicate and you can destroy any health benefits through any improper preparation. Foods are also biological organisms just like you. Now if you are like me and have a tendency to burn things, then do what I did and invest in a juicer and juice your vegetables and fruits, juice your way to healthier living. The amazing thing about juicing, there are so many combinations you can get your kids to drink their vegetables by adding sweet fruits to the mix. Wow!

Now let’s look at the numbers, because of our ignorance, we as a population of people, have caused serious pollution problems on this amazing planet we live on. So we end up taking in roughly one billion free-radicals per day, in the form of pollutants. Let’s see how many anti-oxidants we can take in; if we have one whole grape fruit and two eggs and one piece of toast for breakfast, and let us not forget our multi-vitamin, we will take in about 3,600 anti-oxidants. For a snack we have a banana and a glass of milk that’s about, let’s be generous, 1,800 anti-oxidants. Lunch we have fish with steamed spinach and one cup of whole grain rice, that’s about 4,000 anti-oxidants. Dinner comes and we do very well and have a nice cut of steak and some steamed broccoli with red onions and mushrooms, we now add a yam to that meal and we take in 9,500 anti-oxidants. For the day we did not do very well at all, only 18,900 anti-oxidants. We are losing the football game and we thought we were winning. What can we do? You can drink a lot more fruits and vegetables, by juicing them instead of trying to eat them, and you will not lose the anti-oxidants in these life saving foods. There is also a newly discovered fruit from South East Asia called the Mangosteen Fruit.

The mangosteen fruit has be used in South East Asia for centuries for all types of aliments. To date there is a significant range of known traditional uses such as; anti-diarrheal, anti-inflammatory, pain control, treatment of infections, fever control, gastro intestinal problems, skin rashes and burns, headaches, anti-parasitic, musculo-skeletal and joint problems, control of blood sugar and diabetes, infections – viral, bacterial and fungal, as well as mouth ulcers, prevention of atherosclerosis, dementia, anxiety and depression, cancer and anti-aging concerns, and there are many, many more. The list of health benefits continues to grow as more clinical studies and scientific research is done on this fruit.

For the last 20 years independent universities and scientists have been doing studies on the mangosteen fruit, they wanted to understand why the people of South East Asia did not suffer with the same diseases that we experience in this country. The serious diseases that are killers here in America are barley seen in South East Asia. As the scientists were beginning to study this particular fruit they found out it has the ability to help with disease control. A chemical compound called xanthones was discovered inside the skin of this fruit in record numbers, another amazing thing was the record number of anti-oxidants found in this fruit. The mangosteen fruit contains the highest number of anti-oxidants ever found in one food source, an unbelievable 25,000 per fruit. Wow!

In nature xanthones are very restricted in their occurrence, what I mean is look at the Aloe Vera plant, it contains only one xanthone, yet it is used for medicinal purposes in a variety of ways. When the news came out about how good the Aloe Vera was for burns and skin problems, people began to grow Aloe Vera in their yards and break pieces off when ever they had a skin problem. Over 200 hundred xanthones have been identified in nature to date and 41 of those are in the mangosteen fruit alone, that’s almost a full 25% of all the xanthones that are known.

What can xanthones do for you? Xanthones are a new class of chemical compounds with biologically active plant phenols. Xanthones are a unique, biologically active group of molecules with a six-carbon ring; this structure makes the xanthone very stable and also allows it to be extremely versatile. Each xanthone has a unique chemical formula that permits the xanthone to perform a specific biological function when consumed. Xanthones are so stable that they can defeat more than one free-radical at a time and render it harmless while still performing a biological function. Xanthones show several beneficial properties such as, anti-inflammatory, anti-tuberculosis, anti-tumor, anti-platelet stickiness and anti-convulsive. Scientific studies are making it evident that xanthones are responsible for a wide range of medicinal benefits experienced by people using this juice. The mangosteen fruit is a food, not a drug, and therefore dose not have the inherent dangers associated with medications. The thousands of people now drinking mangosteen fruit juice for medicinal reasons are reporting positive beneficial effects on their conditions. The mangosteen fruit has three components, the skin or pericarp, the fleshy fruit and the seeds, all of the components have the powerful xanthones and anti-oxidants, but the majority are in the skin or pericarp. One thing you should know is xanthones must be consumed in their natural form. The mangosteen fruit juice is the whole fruit ground up in order to make a juice out of it; nothing is wasted, so you receive the full benefit from this amazing fruit. To learn more you can call 1-888-374-4148 and listen to a recorded message about mangosteen fruit juice.

By changing your diet to a healthier menu and adding mangosteen fruit juice, you will enhance your team players by supporting your immune system so they can defend your body against the outside invaders.
You will have a wonderful quality of life!
