Important Factors for Attaining and Sustaining
Optimal Health and Longevity

What You Can Learn from Those Who’ve Lived the Longest

If you’re really interested in living long and being healthy for as long as possible, learn how to maintain youthfulness and wellbeing on all levels. That’s what it takes, addressing all levels.

• Aubrey de Grey, Ph.D, author of Ending Aging – The Rejuvenation Breakthroughs That Could Reverse Human Aging in Our Lifetime

• Dan Buettner, author of The Blue Zone – Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who’ve Lived the Longest.

Both agree that longevity is about far more than your genes. In fact, it is believed that your genetic makeup accounts for only about 10 percent of your potential longevity, while a variety of lifestyle factors account for the rest.

Buettner’s book looks at the lifestyles of centenarians across the world. Common denominators among the people who’ve lived the longest include:

• Eating a plant-based diet
• Drinking diuretic-type teas on a regular basis and plenty of filtered water everyday
• Living in areas that promote regular physical activity, such as daily walking as the main means of getting around or other types of daily exercise
• Associating with friends, family, practitioners and mentors who encourage a healthy, natural, active lifestyle
• Having effective strategies for coping with stress, such as prayer, meditation, strong social networks, and adequate rest
• Eating foods that are organically grown, avoiding genetically modified foods that are now suggested through research to pose problems to our health and the wellbeing of our offspring

In fact, being able to effectively cope with stress, it turns out, is one of the MAJOR common denominators for those who live long, healthy lives.

One of the proposed reasons for this strong link is that stress promotes inflammation, so being able to reduce the inflammatory response in your body can have a significant impact on your overall health. This is also believed to be one of the major reasons why so many centenarians appear to be more or less immune to brain degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

What Can You do NOW to Maximize Your Lifespan?

Of all the healthy lifestyle strategies I know of that can have a significant impact on your longevity, normalizing your insulin and leptin levels is probably the most important  Elevated insulin levels are one of the key physical influences that contribute to rapid aging, and there is no question that optimizing insulin levels is an absolute necessity if you want to slow down your aging process.

Consuming sugar and grains will increase your insulin level, which is the equivalent of slamming your foot on your aging accelerator. There’s simply no more potent way to accelerate aging than sticking to a diet full of sugar and grains.

Top “Anti-Aging” Recommendations

• Learn how to effectively cope with stress: As discussed at the beginning of this article, effective coping mechanisms is a major longevity-promoting factor as stress has a direct impact on inflammation, which in turn underlies many of the chronic diseases that kill people prematurely every day. Meditation, prayer, physical activity and exercise are all viable options that can help you maintain emotional and mental equilibrium. I also strongly believe in using energy psychology tools such as the Meridian Tapping Technique (MTT) to address deeper, oftentimes hidden emotional problems.

• Eat a healthy diet: A nutritional plan is based on natural whole foods, is your first step toward increasing your chances of living a longer, healthier life. The heart of my program is the elimination, or at the very least, drastic reduction of grains and sugar in your diet, which is a far simpler way of restricting your calorie intake naturally, without suffering.

How to Live Longer…Starting Today

• Proper nutrition: Feeding your body the fuel it needs based on your individual biochemistry rather than a one-size-fits-all regimen, regular exercise is such a big key to Longevity, and maintaining emotional wellbeing plays a much larger role in this than you can imagine. This aspect should never be underestimated in the anti-aging quest.

• Rather than sitting idly by, waiting for some “magic pill” that will stop or even reverse the aging process, you can take control of your health, and increase your lifespan, starting right NOW. TOMORROW never comes, so start and continue from TODAY!!

Wikipedia’s description… SUSTAINABLE LIVING is a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual’s or society’s use of the Earth’s natural resources and his/her own resources. Practitioners of sustainable living often attempt to reduce their carbon footprint by altering methods of transportation, energy consumption and diet. Proponents of sustainable living aim to conduct their lives in manners that are consistent with sustainability, in natural balance and respectful of humanity’s symbiotic relationship with the Earth’s natural ecology and cycles. The practice and general philosophy of ecological living is highly interrelated with the overall principles of sustainable development. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sustainable_living

“Think about the children!” ~Michael Jackson

“The Oil Story” begins in early civilization when human beings first discovered the enchanting and beneficial fragrance of plants.

From the earliest days on earth, our ancestors used the fragrant plants to heal, uplift, anoint and empower their lives. Why should fragrance, or aroma, be so powerful, and so sought after by people all over the world throughout history?

Consider for a moment: Why do you give flowers as a sign of love, good wishes or blessing? What is so magical about the fragrance of a rose? The scent of a pine forest? Is it possible that these fragrances are not only beautiful, but also life changing?

Modern day discoveries help us to understand our need for plants as something more than just food, decoration and shelter. Thanks to laboratory research, we now know something about the chemistry and action of plant fragrances, which come from the unique and mysterious aromatic liquids hidden in various parts of plants–their leaves, petals, roots, seeds, bark, stem and even fruit.

These aromatic liquids are called “essential oils” now, but they were called “precious oils” and “sacred oils” in ancient times. They were used not only for physical wellbeing, longevity, beauty, courage, wealth and political power, but also for sacred purposes in temples, religious rituals, and at births and deaths.

The function of essential oils in nature is to keep plants healthy, free of infection, to repel harmful insects, and to communicate–to each other, to insects, to animals, and to us! As it turns out, the way they affect us is a lot like the way they affect plants, acting on our immune systems, our muscles, internal organs, skin and circulation, and even our emotions, sometimes all at once!

How? Plant fragrances are made of nature’s ancient molecules: complex substances whose structure allows them to pass easily and quickly through our skin, and through the cell membranes of every cell in our bodies. We breathe them in and instantly, as they touch the brain, the molecules of essential oils enliven neurons, inspire emotions, awaken immune response, stimulate hormones, which can then enhance energy, digestion, mental clarity, body temperature, circulation and the feeling of being connected to nature. They are also unique in nature, different from any other natural product you have ever tried, enhancing every part of your body, mind and spirit, with just one or two drops at a time.

“The Oil Story” has evolved into many innovative uses of essential oils that are validated by research. They are now grown through sustainable farming methods, distilled carefully, and then combined into expert formulations of unique essential oil blends. They are added to nutritional supplements, used to boost fitness and support weight management. Additionally, they are added to personal care products for their wonderful scents and notable enhancement to the skin.

Now, we have extensive education on the Science of Essential Oils. We have an unconditional guarantee of quality from the best source of pure, high quality oils in the world…Young Living Essential Oils.  Their farms are based mainly in Utah, Idaho, France and Ecuador. They are major producers who stand out by maintaining the high standards that are necessary for the best quality of therapeutic grade essential oils. All the attributes I have mentioned are specifically ascribed to this company. I cannot speak to the efficacy of any other producers of essential oils. The standards Young Living maintains makes them an extremely hard act to follow.

It’s really important to understand that the safety and life-changing effects of essential oils are dependent entirely on their purity and their quality. Generally speaking, essential oils that you find in department stores, and even health food stores, are of uncertain quality at best. E veryone at Young Living Essential Oils has made it their mission to provide you with the very best, independently tested, life enhancing essential oils.

We are spending much less time in nature and rarely have our feet directly on the ground. With so many electronics in our environment we are bombarded with EMF’s (electro magnetic fields) that are continuously depleting and unsettling our body and mind.

Human beings were designed to live directly on the Earth. We were originally hunters and gatherers covering many miles on the Earth everyday. What are we doing now? How much are we directly on the Earth, within that healing, grounding, supportive, electro magnetic field that activates our cells and gives them a much needed boost? Our bodies have a lot to contend with, that’s for sure. They need all the help they can get.

Scientists have discovered that this disconnect from the Earth’s field has caused us to be seriously lacking in microcirculation. This is currently an important field of study in some major universities. Several years ago, much was revealed when researchers began to search for solutions to issues astronauts were having with maintaining their health during space travel. They experienced many serious health issues which, it turns out, had a lot to do with being completely cut off from the field of the Earth. Their bodies were unable to stay well without any connection to the Earth’s field. Very interesting!! They learned that the human body/mind system is dependent on this contact for proper equilibrium and functioning.

Researchers also saw a concerning breakdown of microcirculation in the general population. Our cells are dependent on proper microcirculation for nutrient delivery, immune function, oxygen uptake, energy in the form of ATP and elimination of waste products. Scientists discovered that a device could be constructed that would simulate the field of the Earth and would activate important functions in the body. About 11 years ago a technology, called the BEMER, was designed and put into the hands of MD’s, hospitals and wellness practitioners.  A major benefit from the BEMER was a substantial increase in mircrocirculation that resembles the results  you would get from walking or running several miles directly on the surface of the Earth. This was, and is, a revolutionary breakthrough in modern technology. The benefits have been tremendous in the areas of Wellness and Fitness. Just ask the Swiss Olympic Team who use BEMERS all the time for training, competing, recovery and injuries. Practitioners and their clients in Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and America have been using this device with great success for many years. In Europe, the BEMER is classified as a medical device and doctors are prescribing it for their patients.

BEMER, stands for Bio Electro Magnetic Energy Regulation. All you have to do is lie on the mat for 8 minutes to bring about a very beneficial change at the cellular level. When has Wellness ever been so easy?! You can see the before and after effect through live blood cell analysis. A session on the BEMER has a very positive impact on many functions in the body, and is often a catalyst for corrections where there is a breakdown or blockage present. The BEMER is tremendous for optimizing and balancing the body, mind and emotions. It’s powerfully healing and is also a great addition to a Wellness maintenance program for overall health and longevity. Since enhanced immune function is a proven result of regular use of the BEMER, we can certainly use this type of support…these days more than ever!

I’ve been using it for 2 years now and it has been phenomenal. It’s an innovative technology that is meeting a tremendous need that has resulted from a major shortcoming of our Modern Lifestyle. This is good news and it’s important to get the word out to people. Definitely an excellent addition to an Ecelectic Wellness Lifestyle!

Excerpt from: The Science of Getting Rich

Repatterning is an interactive system that is facilitated by a trained practitioner.  It allows you to create positive change in any area of your life where you experience limitation, struggle or imbalance.  It’s a process of transforming the patterns that manifest as your life challenges, such as: poor health, financial distress, unfulfilling relationships, lack of self confidence, blocked creativity, never having enough time, etc.  Once these non-coherent patterns are identified and shifted, positive outcomes are automatically experienced.  Your challenges truly give you an opportunity to move to a higher level of order, awareness and self-expression.  They simply let you know there are areas of discord that need to be updated to a higher frequency of resonance and coherence.

Repatterning is based on a foundation of principles from new physics and psychology, as well as, ancient knowledge of the Chakra system of India and the Five Element Meridian system of China.  Repatterning supports us in opening to embrace life and having the courage to walk our true path.  Each session utilizes numerous modalities for creating coherence, such as: sound, light, movement, visualization, emotional release, energetic contact, breath and energy balancing tools.  This depends on what your system will be most responsive to at that time.  Sessions may include the use of pure Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils and the BEMER technology (Bio Electro Magnetic Energy Regulation).

Repatterning focuses on clarifying, clearing and shifting your body, mind and spirit into positive alignment with your goals, intentions and aspirations on all levels.  Repatterning happens at the level of the conscious and unconscious mind.  This is essential in order for deep shifts and profound healing to happen!

Infants, Children, Teens and Animals respond so well to these sessions!!

If you sense that a Repaterning may be right for you at this point in your life, you’re probably right!

What is most important to look for in an Essential Oil?

Quality!! ~ Purity!! ~ Therapeutic Value!!

An essential oil that is pure, unadulterated, high quality, and classified as therapeutic grade, is safe and powerfully effective for people of all ages. On the other hand, poor quality oils can actually be quite toxic and harmful!

Oils that have been distilled too quickly or with too much heat and pressure will not have the potency or balanced proportion of constituents that give an essential oil the high therapeutic properties and powerful effectiveness.

Quality control protocols must be rigorously applied to every batch of oil that is distilled, and expensive laboratory testing is necessary to verify the quality and purity of each batch. Few companies can meet this standard. So, most essential oils (aromatherapy) will be marginally beneficial to quite toxic. Unfortunately, all too often, the later is the case. This is a very serious concern, since essential oils are rapidly absorbed into the skin and the bloodstream. So, if chemicals from pesticides, herbicides and other toxins are present, that’s exactly where those toxins will go once they are applied. If they are inexpensive, that’s a huge red flag. Always pay more for the purity and tremendous healing properties you will get with a higher quality oil. I strongly suggest you don’t use essential oils at all, if you’re not willing to pay for the good stuff, as you will only be burdening your body with more toxins that are damaging. I’m just being completely honest here. My job is to help you understand the truth and reality of essential oils.

When you find a company that consistently goes the extra mile, and the scientific proof is available, you want to stick with that company as your essential oil source!! Beware, just because a company says they produce pure, organic essential oils that doesn’t mean, in reality, that they do. Only the laboratory testing and reports can give real assurance that they are pure, therapeutic grade essential oils. For more information visit: http://EssentialProsperity.com

Now, here’s the good news… If they are essential oils of the highest quality, they will be pure MAGIC! Realize that essential oils are the “blood of the plant”. They are nourishing, protecting and healing the plant and allowing it to keep thriving. Guess what…they do these same exact functions within the human body. This is an exciting revelation that is worth celebrating. Once you discover essential oils and use them regularly, your life and the wellbeing of your family will be forever changed. They are fantastic for pets as well. Kids will very often ask their parents if they can put on some of their favorites. They quickly learn that when they hurt themselves, there are essential oils that will instantly make them feel better..and they will ask for them.

Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils should be used everyday for their uplifting effect, for first aid purposes, clean air quality and purity when diffusing them, immune support and many other applications. They can make a significant difference in just about every circumstance where there is a physical, mental or emotional challenge. It’s best not to underestimate their effectiveness, as you could miss out on an amazing Wellness resource from nature’s bounty.

If you would like to become an essential oil expert overnight, purchase the Essential Oils Desk Reference. The 4th edition is the most recent version printed and it’s fantastic. The information in this large, encyclopedia-like reference guide is phenomenal. You can look up everything you ever wanted to know about essential oils and you will find excellent, in-depth information. To order click here.

The only company I trust completely for the best distillation process, consistent quality, purity and potency, proven by complex testing of each and every batch of oil is Young Living Essential Oils. For more info go to: http://EssentialProsperity.com
