De-mystifying Proteinby Dr Nance MacLeod-Lutchin

Food is fuel to our body and each of us need a certain typeof fuel to run our body at an optimal level. Knowing your own nutritional type is a great start to creating the bestenvironment for your body’s optimal health. At the end of this article you willfind a link to the nutritional typing test. No matter what type you are youwill need protein in your diet.

High-protein, low-carbohydrate diets are the hottest thingsince sliced cheese and every food merchant in the world appears to want aportion of the protein pie.

Body builders are frantically drinking down protein shakes,believing that they need one gram of protein for every pound they weight.

Dieters are trying the Dukan Diet, the Akins diet, the 4hour body diet and living on meat, protein bars and shakes. Dieters are stayingaway from bread, rice, pasta, vegetables, and fruit in hopes of quick weightloss.

How much protein dowe really need?

Each person needs a minimum of 40 grams of protein a day andthe latest studies have shown that women over 40 years old need at least 80grams a day. Some women have found that they feel best and lose weight whenthey have 100 to 125 grams of protein a day. If you are feeling fatigued allthe time, have aches and pains and you cannot seem to lose pounds, you may needmore protein. To find your ideal amount you need to pay attention to your body.

Is protein good forus?

Protein is an important component of every cell in the body.Hair and nails are mostly made of protein. Your body uses protein to build andrepair tissues. You also use protein to make enzymes, hormones, and other bodychemicals. Protein is an important building block of bones, muscles, cartilage,skin, and blood. Everyone needs protein.

What are the goodproteins?

Fish, seafood’s, white meat (skin removed), lean beef andpork, farm fresh eggs, Greek yogurt, organic or drug free low fat diaryproducts, hemp hearts, algae, sea vegetables, legumes, brown rice, nuts andseeds.

Is Soy good healthy protein?

Please note I do not recommend soy products. All soy foodsare not health foods in fact I believe promoting soy as a health food is acrime.

There are many dangers of eating soy, including the factthat soy inhibits assimilation of calcium, magnesium, copper, iron, and zinc.Soy stunts growth in children, has been linked to breast cancer, negativelyaffects the endocrine system, and may cause pancreatic disorders just to name afew. To learn more I suggest you Google the dangers of soy.

Are protein shakes reallythe answer to weight loss?

Please remember that a lot of the information being providedabout protein comes from companies that sell protein supplements and they wantyou to buy their product. I do not have an endorsement contract with anyone. Ijust want to help you make informed decisions. The main reason I like proteinpowders is that they are easy and fast meal replacements. I have a shake with in 30 minutes of wakingevery morning and if I am tight for time at lunch or supper I will have anotherone. Protein shakes and be can help you loss weight, get extra protein, helpyou eat less if you choose the right ones.

When you read the ingredients in a protein shake, the leastamount of ingredients is usually the best. A good protein shake is whey proteinisolate (either cold cross-flow filteredor micro filtered), chocolate or raw vanilla, and a natural low caloriesweetener like Xylitol or stevia. Some may add fiber, juice powder, powderedgreens and vitamins which is okay but not really needed. You can even purchaseunflavored and use in smoothies. All ingredients should be natural, drug free,and/or organic.

I prefer whey protein isolates over whey proteinconcentrates because the isolate is lower in calories, and has less lactose,fat and cholesterol. If you are lactose intolerant or you have problems withgas and bloating, then the whey protein isolate may be a better option. All wheyis an extremely good source of protein. Whey has a high biological value (BV).A high BV means that the amino acid ratio is exceptional for building muscleand that a large proportion of the protein consumed is absorbed and utilized bythe body. Building muscle of course increases your metabolism which helps yourbody become it ideal weight and shape.

There are also many vegan protein shakes made with brownrice protein, hemp protein, pumpkin seed protein, and pea protein. I personallyhave found the ones I tried gritty and unpalatable. They also did not shake upas smoothly as whey protein isolate.

This has been my experience with the vegan protein shakes,please keep if you are vegan keep trying different ones as I have not triedthem all, The same rules apply the least amount of ingredients the better andall natural sweeteners like Xylitol and stevia is best.

I hope this information will help you choose the bestprotein shake for you and your lifestyle.

Nutritional Typing test.

http://products.mercola.com/nutritional-typingPay attention to your body. Do you havemore energy? Are you sleeping better? Are you finally losing excess pounds?

Knowing yournutritional type is a great first step to your perfect health and body weight.

Below are the 3types:

Mixed Types

Mixed Types require food combinations somewhere between carband protein type groups. This type requires quite a bit of fine-tuning andlistening to your body, making it the most challenging type of the NutritionalTyping types.

Protein Types

Protein Types operate best on a low-carbohydrate,high-protein and relatively high-fat diet (healthy fat that is). These ratiosare detailed for you in your Nutritional Typing profile to help you make thewisest food choices.

Carb Types

Carb Types normally feel best when most of their food ishealthy carbohydrates. Yet, there are major differences between classes ofcarbs such as vegetables and grains. With Nutritional Typing you will discoverwhich carbs are best for your unique physiology

Chapter 4 Reference guide to Super Foods
Common name: Cacao (raw Chocolate nut)Pronounced Ka KA oh or Ka CowBotanical name: Theobroma cacao
Insert Fig 8 –

CacaoDescription: The cacao tree is a small evergreen tree, growing in South America and the West Indies It grows from 12 to 25 feet high, branching at the top; when cultivated it is not allowed to grow so high. The stem is erect, 4 to 6 feet high; the wood is light; the bark is thin, somewhat smooth, and brownish. The seeds are numerous, compressed, 1 inch long, reddish-brown externally, dark-brown internally, and imbedded in a whitish, sweetish, buttery pulp.History and general information: The Cacao tree was cultivated in Mexico and Central and South America for many years. Indeed, long before the discovery of North America, at one time Cacao was used by the natives as a major source of food as well as currency. Currently it is chiefly cultivated in Brazil, Costa Rica, Guayaquil, Ecuador, Venezuela, Peru, Guatemala, the island of Trinidad, and most of the other West Indian Islands; also in Africa, Ceylon, Samoa, and other parts of the globe.

Chapter 4
Reference guide to Super Foods Cacao
History and general information: The Cacoa are the seeds taken from the fruit. Cacao nuts or seeds are prepared either by natural drying techniques, in which case they retain their rich mineral and nutritional value. They will also retain their bitterness and astringency. The sweating process is another process used and much of the rich nutrition is destroyed. Organic Raw Cacao nuts that have been naturally dried are the richest in nutrition, minerals and flavour.Cacao beans contain 12-50% fat and no sugar, depending on the variety and growing conditions. There is no known evidence linking Cacao bean consumption with obesity. Cacao is an incredibly rich source of Magnesium, with more antioxidant Flavonoids than Red Wine or Green Tea, and Phytochemicals like Theobromine and Anandamine that boost your mood and energy.History and general information A raw Cacao nut contains 1/12th the amount of Caffeine as a same sized coffee bean. Cacao does contain Theobromine and when absorbed acts as a diuretic, and has a stimulant action, similar to Caffeine. However Theobromine absorbs very differently than Caffeine. It absorbs slowly and breaks down naturally in the body and has a positive effect on the nervous system, brain, heart and circulation due to the high amount of easily assimilated minerals.

Chapter 4
Reference guide to Super Foods Cacao
Benefits reported:

Magnesium- Cacao is remarkably rich in Magnesium. This is likely the primary reason women crave chocolate during the menstrual period. Magnesium balances brain chemistry, builds strong bones, and is associated with emotional states of happiness and contentment. Magnesium is the most deficient major mineral on the Standard American Diet (SAD); over 80% of Americans are chronically deficient in Magnesium!

MAO Inhibitors Cacao seems to diminish appetite, due to its Monoamine Oxidase enzyme inhibitors (MAO inhibitors) - these are different from digestive enzyme inhibitors found in most nuts and seeds. These rare MAO inhibitors actually produce favorable results when consumed by allowing more Serotonin and other neurotransmitters to circulate in the brain. According to Dr. Gabriel Cousens, MAO inhibitors facilitate youth and rejuvenation.

Phenylethylamine (PEA) is found in chocolate. PEA is an adrenal-related chemical that is also created within the brain and released when we are in love. This is one of the reasons why love and chocolate have a deep correlation. PEA also plays a role in increasing focus and alertness.

Anandamide (The Bliss Chemical) A neurotransmitter called Anandamide, has been isolated in Cacao. Anandamide is also produced naturally in the brain. Anandamide is known as "The Bliss Chemical" because it is released while we are feeling great. Cacao contains enzyme inhibitors that decrease our bodies' ability to breakdown Anandamide. This means that natural Anandamide and/or Cacao Anandamide may linger, making us feel good longer when we eat it.

Chapter 4Reference guide to Super Foods Cacao

Benefits reported: Iron: Cacao contains 314% of the U.S. RDA of Iron per 1 ounce (28 gram) serving. Iron is a critical mineral in nutrition.Iron is part of the oxygen carrying protein called hemoglobin that keeps our blood healthy.

Chromium: Chromium is an important trace mineral that helps balance blood sugar. Nearly 80% of Americans are deficientin this trace mineral. Cacao has enough chromium to help reverse deficiencies in this mineral.

Antioxidants: Cacao contains the highest concentration of antioxidants of any food in the world. These antioxidants include Polyphenols, Catechins, and Epicatechins. By weight, Cacao has more antioxidants than Red Wine, Blueberries, Acai, Pomegranates, and Goji Berries combined!Cacao has many other trace minerals like:

Manganese which assists iron in the oxygenation of the blood and formation of hemoglobin.

Zinc plays a critical role in the immune system, liver, pancreas, and skin.

Copper is found naturally in plants with Vitamin C. In the human body, Copper helps to build healthy blood.

How to use:

• Try eating them straight, a tablespoon at a time. Chew thoroughly and experience the taste extravaganza of Raw Chocolate.

• Add to coconut-based or fruit-based smoothies to enhance the flavor.

Chapter 4Reference guide to Super Foods

Common name: Chia Seed

Pronounced: Chee ahh

Botanical name: Salvia HispanicaDescription: Chia (Salvia Hispanica) is a plant of the genus Salvia in the Mint family. It originated in the central Valley of Mexico. It was largely cultivated by the Aztecs in Pre-Colombian times and was one of the five most important food plants at that time. After the arrival of the Spaniards, the plant became almost extinct because of cultural and religious reasons.Chia is grown commercially for its seed. It is very rich in omega-3 fatty acid since it is the vegetable source with the most omega-3 content, specifically A-Linolenic Acid or ALA. It also adds antioxidants and a variety of vitamins, minerals and fiber. The word Chia is derived from the Aztec word “chian”, meaning oily. The present Mexican State of Chiapas got its name from the Nahua “chia water” or “river." The species was named Hispanica ("of Spain") because Linnaeus described the species from cultivated plants in Spain.Chia is an annual herb growing to 1 m tall, with opposite leaves 4–8 cm long and 3–5 cm broad. Its flowers are purple or white and are produced in numerous clusters in a spike at the end of each stem. Chia seeds are typically small ovals with a diameter of about one millimeter. They are mottle-colored with brown, gray, black and white. Chia seeds typically contain 20% Protein, 34% Oil, 25% Dietary Fiber (mostly soluble with high molecular weight), and significant levels of Antioxidants.

Chapter 4Reference guide to Super Foods

Common name: Chia Seed

Antioxidants include Chlorogenic and Caffenic acids, Myricetin, Quercetin, and Kaempferol Flavonols. The oil from chia seeds contains a very high concentration of Omega-3 Fatty Acids — approximately 64%. Chia seeds contain no gluten or trace levels of sodium. There are no known toxic components of Chia.History and general information: Chia seed were traditionally consumed in Mexico, the southwestern United States, and South America, but were not widely known in Europe. The United States Food and Drug Administration regards Chia as a food with an established history of safe consumption.Historically, Chia seeds served as a staple food of the Nahuatl (Aztec) cultures of Central Mexico. Jesuit chroniclers referred to Chia as the third most important crop to the Aztecs. Tribute and taxes to the Aztec priesthood and nobility were often paid in Chia seed.Today, Chia is grown commercially in its native Mexico, and in Bolivia, Argentina, Ecuador, and Guatemala. A similar species, Golden Chia, is used in the same way but is not widely grown commercially.

Chapter 4Reference guide to Super Foods

Chia Seed Benefits reported:

• Rich in Calcium and Iron content making it an excellent food for women in their child bearing years and beyond menopause• High Fibre content helps those watching their weight

• Chia seed holds 14 times its weight in water so it helps to swell the stomach and alleviate feelings of hunger while providing a nutrient rich food to cleanse the colon and bowels for more effective digestion.

• Superior ratio of Omega 3 to Omega 6 Fatty Acids, Fibre, Antioxidants and Minerals.

• Perfect food for anyone concerned about fighting the aging process

• Can help reduce fatigue

• Strengthens heart muscles

• Improve blood circulation and flow

• Supports healthy blood sugar levels

• Promotes agile joints

• Improves digestion

• Enhances mental clarity and memory

• Helps to provide the key nutrients that children and adolescents need to develop into strong and healthy adults.

Chapter 4Reference guide to Super Foods

How to use: Chia seed may be eaten raw as a dietary fiber and omega-3 supplement by adding the seeds to your yogurt, cereal, salads and fruit.

Grinding chia seeds produces a meal called pinole, which can be made into porridge or cakes.

Chia seeds soaked in water or fruit juice are also often consumed and are known in Mexico as Chia Fresca, or Bubble water.The soaked seeds are gelatinous in texture and are used in gruels, porridges and puddings. Ground Chia seeds are used in baked goods including breads, cakes and biscuits.Chia sprouts are used in a similar manner as Alfalfa sprouts in salads, sandwiches and other dishes. Chia sprouts are sometimes grown on porous clay figurines which have led to the popular (U.S.) cultural icon of the Chia Pet.

HIPPOCRATES ~ 10 Rules to Live (Things that make you go Hmmm)

2011-08-13T09:40:00.000-07:00

HIPPOCRATES ~ 10 Rules to Live
Hippocrates was a Greek Nutritionist, Physician and Surgeon who lived from approximately 460 B.C. until around 370 B.C. He is considered “The Father of Medicine” and is credited as being the first physician who believed that diseases were not caused by superstition or gods, but rather that diseases had natural causes.
Hippocrates beliefs were designed and completely laid out over 2500 years ago as ten rules. Western medicine and many western lifestyles seem to have disregarded and strayed from these rules. These are the same rules used to develop the Hippocratic Oath taken by all doctors.

HIPPOCRATES ‘10 RULES TO LIVE BY’

1. THE NATURAL WAY IS THE ONLY WAY! This should be an obvious medical pursuit, according to Mother Nature and Hippocrates.

2. TREAT THE CAUSE OF AN ILLNESS, NOT THE SYMPTOM! Modern synthetic drugs just mask the illness, but never deal with the origin.

3. LOOK TO THE SPINE FOR ILLNESSES! Hippocrates strongly suggested this which relates to modern day Chiropractic treatment.

4. THROW AWAY YOUR DRUGS AND HEAL THE PEOPLE WITH FOOD! Food is medicine – medicine is food. Hippocrates knew that food had health giving qualities – now known as Protein, Vitamins and Minerals.

5. MOST ILLNESS CAN BE PREVENTED BY EATING NATURAL FOODS! The majority of foods that Americans consume are processed, refined, overcooked, full of chemicals, pesticides, artificial ingredients, xeno hormones, antibiotics, and grown in mineral depleted soil.

6. A HEALTHY COLON IS ESSENTIAL! The U.S. Government reports that colon problems are dramatically increasing in America.

7. DO NOT ADMINISTER DANGEROUS AND HARMFUL MEDICATIONS! The F.D.A. admits that prescription drugs kill 50,000 – 350,000 people a year in America.

8. DO NO HARM TO YOUR PATIENTS! The New England Journal of Medicine reports that the end result of most drug therapy is harmful side effects.

9. DO NOT PERFORM SURGERY FOR MONEY! The U.S. Government reports that 75% of all surgeries in this country are unnecessary.

10. THE WORD PROTEIN MEANS MOST IMPORTANT! Hippocrates named protein as the most essential food we should consume, as the greater percentages of our bodies are comprised of it.

“If we could give every individual the right amount of nourishment and exercise, not too little and not too much, we would have found the safest way to health.” ~Hippocrates

Tim Horton's Fruit Smoothie Ingredients from Mike Zavitz

2011-03-25T08:15:00.000-07:00

I have to share this information with you, there is nothing in this world more frustrating then misleading advertising, especially when something is marketed as being healthy when it really will cause poor health as well as premature aging.

Please read this thanks
Nance

Tim Horton's Fruit Smoothie Ingredients

As usual, Tim Horton's just doesn't get it...

As the population adopts healthier lifestyles, Tim Horton's has tried to pick up on the "Smoothie Trend" - which is
not really a trend but a lifestyle - once you start making them each day, it's very hard to ever stop! And why would
one want to?...they are quick, easy, diverse and super healthy if made correctly. Unfortunately, Timmy has, once
again, opted for the lowest common denominator when it comes to their ingredients.

I will give them credit for at least putting in some real fruit, which is more than can be said for their Apple Cider -
which is nothing but artificial flavors and colors. To the dismay of those who do understand nutrition, Timmy has
made nearly a complete mockery of the smoothie by adding in pasteurized dairy, harmful sugars (all contain 30
grams of sugar or more, which isn't far off Coca Cola's 39 grams) like "high-fructose corn syrup" and artificial
flavors/colors (caramel color). The protein content, which only comes from the milk and whey (very cheap and
poor sources), is only about 2 grams - not enough to counteract the damage from all the sugar. The fruit itself
is a "puree concentrate" which is likely very poor quality (acidic) and certainly not FRESH, which is what most
smoothie creators demand.

In all, Timmy has failed miserably due their penchant for cheap ingredients and the reality is that their "smoothies"
are nothing more than glorified milkshakes. But this may not stop many Canadians from purchasing them since most
don't bother to read ingredients and they are not readily available at the store or on the cup label. However, I have
obtained a copy from their head office (ATTACHED) and we can educate people by passing this email along.

Dangers of High Fructose Corn Syrup: http://www.naturalnews.com/024466_corn_health_HFCS.html
Studies find Mercury in Corn Syrup: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2009/01/27/us-mercury-syrup-idUKTRE50Q5IA20090127
Facts about Pasteurization: http://www.naturalnews.com/022967_milk_pasteurization_dairy.html
Caramel Color contains Carcinogens: http://www.cspinet.org/new/201102161.html

The bottom line is, don't make Tim's "smoothies" a daily habit - make them at home before you go to work (or whenever!)
- you can make them best!...

Here are some suggestions for a HEALTHY smoothie you can make in just a few minutes at home...

Base: Pure Filtered Water/Rice Milk/Almond Milk
Fruits/Veggies: Nearly Anything Organic!...Mixed Berries/Bananas/Carrots/Dark Greens etc.
Protein: Organic Hemp (best)/Brown Rice/Yellow Pea
SuperFood Blends: GreenZone/Greens+/Living Fuel/Sun Warrior Ormus Greens/Vega
Nuts/Seeds: Almonds/Flax/Pumpkin (make sure to buy NATURAL RAW and ORGANIC)

Add a bit of sweetener like Maple Syrup if needed. There are many variations but Green Superfood Smoothies
can be an incredibly beneficial start to your day and are great for the whole family!

Our Deepest Fear By Marianne Williamson

2011-03-22T12:28:00.001-07:00

Our Deepest Fear By Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness
That most frightens us.
We ask ourselves
Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small
Does not serve the world.
There's nothing enlightened about shrinking
So that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine,
As children do.
We were born to make manifest
The glory of God that is within us.
It's not just in some of us;
It's in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine,
We unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we're liberated from our own fear,
Our presence automatically liberates others.

The Invitation By Oriah Mountain Dreamer

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living.
I want to know what you ache for,
And if you dare to dream of meeting
Your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are.
I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool
For love, for your dream,
For the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.
I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow,
If you have been opened by life's betrayals,
Or have become shriveled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain,
Mine or your own,
Without moving
To hide it or fade it or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy,
Mine or your own,

If you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes
Without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, to remember the limitations of being human.

drNanceMacleod@gmail.com ~ 289-669-0015 www.thewellnessdiva.org

The Invitation By Oriah Mountain Dreamer page 2
It doesn’t interest me if the story you are telling me is true.
I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself, If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.

I want to know if you can be faithless and therefore be trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see beauty
Even when it is not pretty every day,
And if you can source your own life
From its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, Yours and mine,

And still stand on the edge of a lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, "Yes!"

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.
I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, Weary and bruised to the bone,
And do what needs to be done for the children.

It doesn't interest me who you are, how you came to be here.
I want to know if you will stand In the center of the fire with me
And not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.
I want to know what sustains you From the inside
When all else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone
With yourself,
And if you truly like the company you keep
In the empty moments.

Popping Potassium Iodide is a really bad idea!

2011-03-22T12:26:00.000-07:00

Popping Potassium Iodide is a really bad idea!
By Dr Nance Macleod PhD

There are growing concerns about the radioactive fall out from Japan reaching Canada. Radioactive iodine has already been found in Seattle; however officials tell us that the amounts detected were so small that it will not endanger health. The officials have told us that by the time the radio-active fall out reaches Ontario it will be minuscule and be no worst than the radiation we are exposed to daily.

Still many people have been calling me asking for potassium iodine pills and iodine drops, knowing that the Japanese authorities distributed iodine to people living near nuclear power plants to help protect them from radioactive fall out.

Potassium iodide, also called KI, only protects the thyroid gland from exposure to radioactive iodine, which could lead to thyroid cancer years after exposure. KI does not protect a person from the immediate effects of radiation. Nausea and vomiting often begin within hours of exposure to high levels of radiation, followed by diarrhea, headaches and fever. These symptoms will not be avoided by taking one or more than one Potassium Iodine pills.

In fact, popping potassium iodide is a really bad idea. Serious symptoms including burning of the mouth and throat, vomiting, stomach ache, racing heart and dizziness or vertigo is possible by taking too much potassium iodine. It has been reported by several US poison control centers that people have already experienced negative side effect to KI.

The best way to protect yourself from radiation poisoning is not KI tablets unless you are within a 200 mile radius of the nuclear accident.

Eating foods high in potassium and iodine is the best way to protect yourself from radiation without harming your health. Keeping your immune system strong by adding Super Foods to your diet like E3 Live Algae, sea vegetables, wild fish and more will protect you from every day radiation and any fall out that might come our way. Your body cannot over dose from food because it will take the nutrition it needs and excrete the rest.

Below I have listed recommended foods for you to try.

Fish which has more than 400mgs of potassium in a 3 oz servings:
• Clams … 534mg
• Halibut ... 490mg
• Tuna ….. 484mg
• Cod …… 439mg

Fish under 400mgs
• Trout …375mg
• Salmon 319mg

The highest potassium rich fruits:
• 10 pieces Organic Dried Apricots 814 mg
• ½ cup Raisins …………………….544 mg
• 10 Dates …………………………..542 mg
• 4 Figs ………………………………542mg
• 3 oz Avocados ……………………540 mg
• 1 cup Cantaloupe ………………...494 mg
• 1 large Bananas ………………….427mg

Vegetables containing high amounts of potassium include:
• 1 cup Beet Greens ………………..1,309 mg
• 1 cup White Beans ………………. 1.189 mg
• 3 oz portion of E3 Live Algae ….. 1,090 mcg
• 1 cup Potatoes ……………………1,081 mg
• 1 cup Lima Beans ……………….. 955 mg
• 1 cup Winter Squash……………. 896 mg
• 1 cup Spinach …………………… 839 mg
• 1 cup non-GMO Soy Beans ……. 886 mg
• 1 cup Pinto Beans ……………….. 800 mg
• 1 cup Baked Beans……………….. 752 mg
• 1 cup Lentils ………………………. 731 mg
• 1 cup Kidney Beans ……………… 713 mg
• 1 cup Black eyed Peas ………….. 690 mg
• 1 cup Artichokes …………………. 644 mg
• 1 cup Parsnips …………………….. 573 mg
• 1 cup Sweet Potatoes …………… 508 mg
• 1 cup Brussels Sprouts ………….. 504 mg
• 1 cup Broccoli …………………….. 456 mg
• 1 cup Chick peas…………………. 477 mg
• 1 cup Carrots …………………….. 354 mg
• 1 cup Raw Tomatoes ……………. 400 mg

Nuts high in potassium include
• 4 oz Almond …………………….. 824 mg
• 4 oz Brazil nuts …………………. 680 mg

Please note WHO (World Health Organization) places the safe upper limit of iodine intake daily for adults is 1000mcg and for children over 5 years old 300mcg. Iodine is a chemical element essential for the production of thyroid hormones that regulate growth and metabolism. Iodine removes all fluorides, lead, bromine and the other toxic halides from your system, even stored ones.

Diets deficient in iodine increase risk of retarded brain development in children (cretinism), mental slowness, high cholesterol, lethargy, fatigue, depression, weight gain, and goiter: a swelling of the thyroid gland in the neck.

Iodine deficiencies are often found in people who eat high amounts of refined fast foods.

Foods that are high in iodine content include:
• 1 g Sea Vegetables like Arame, Dulse, Kelp, Nori, Sea kelp, Wakame, Seaweed, Hiziki, and Kombu ……100 to 200 mcg
• 10 g Cod Liver Oil ……………………………. 85 to 100mcg
• 1 cup of whole milk ………………………….. 75 to 120 mcg
• 1 cup of most yogurts ……………………….. 60 to 95 mcg
• 3 oz Shell fish ………………………………... 60 to 140 mcg

A super food I recommend to everyone to boost immune system and stay healthy is E3LIVE Blue/Green Algae which is very high in Vegetable Protein, Beta Carotene, Chlorophyll, Potassium, iodine and many other trace minerals.

When eating these foods regularly your body will be able to absorb the nutrition it needs to help protect it from radiation poisoning and other diseases.

A diet high in potassium will protect you from high blood pressure and a diet high in iodine rich foods can be beneficial in weight loss.

Take a look at the list and try adding some of these foods to your diet.
Keeping you body healthy and strong will help you get the most out of life. Why not take care of your body today?

Finding Happiness in an Unhappy World

2011-03-22T12:25:00.000-07:00

"I believe that the very purpose of life is to seek happiness."
Dalai Lama --From his book, The Art of Happiness (1998).

Finding Happiness in an Unhappy World
by Dr Nance MacLeod PhD

Have you ever heard Bill Gates or Donald Trump say that once you become a billionaire that you will be in a state of constant, never-ending incredible happiness?

How about falling in love with the person of your dreams? Will you then be totally and completely happy all the time? The feeling of joy inside of you will be there for a while but then life will take over and the joyful feeling can be lost.

Is it even possible to be happy all the time? Yes of course it is. I believe God wants us to be happy and full of joy. That is why he gave us Jesus.

According to the book; Learned Optimism (© 1990) by Dr. Martin Seligman; he tells us to keep in mind that happiness, peace of mind, self-esteem, confidence and satisfaction all go together. He believes you cannot experience one without all the others.

Taking a good look at yourself inside to see if you have any unresolved anger, non-forgiveness, guilt, self judgment, disdain, fear, shame that is holding you back from being completely happy is one of the most important actions you can do in your life.

If you are carrying all of these feelings in your body, how could you ever be completely happy and healthy?

I am sure you have heard the metaphor about the layers of the onion to describe successively removing layers that are concealed in our emotional, physical, spiritual and mental body. When we use this metaphor involving the onion - such as "peeling away another layer" - we visualize a central concept (our true core being) that is buried beneath an organized series of increasingly central issues or arguments.

As you progress inward you will have the understanding from surface issues to deeper truths. When you "get to the bottom" of something - finding its "root" or "kernel" of truth - we are finally exposing that which is most shielded from view. Our amazing true powerful selves, your diamond within will be realized.

One thing that you can do now to help get more joy and happiness, according to the research of top psychologists is to do unselfish acts (helping other people). Not people you know, but strangers, like helping in a soup kitchen, visiting AIDS patients, cleaning a public park or giving food to a homeless person.

Another thing you can do is attend courses and retreats that will help you dig deep and release all the negative unresolved issues you are carrying with in your consciousness.

Mediating, breathing exercises, taking time for you and by remembering the feeling of happiness. You can feel joy in our heart all of the time. It is worth the time and effort.

'The powerful lost super food of the Andes'

MACA 'The powerful lost super food of the Andes' by Dr Nance MacLeod

Athletes, bodybuilders and other sportsmen and women are using Maca in order to obtain energy on a natural basis. Best of all Maca is allowed under the IAAF- (International Association of Athletics Federations) as it is a vegetable not a drug.

Maca was known by the Inca's (an ancient and advanced civilization based in Peru) to have powerful medicinal properties. It has been used throughout the Peruvian highlands for the past 5000 years as high-grade nourishment. The Incan warriors would actually consume Maca before entering into battle for an increased source of energy and power. And the messengers who would walk for enormous distances to deliver messages through the Incan Empire would receive Maca from the Incan Kings to replenish them and revive them.

During the 60's to the 80’s scientists carried out botanical research in Peru on the Maca plant and this scientific research proves that this plant has ability to increase energy, increase stamina, increase libido and enhance athletics’ performance.

Maca is not a medicine - it is a 100% natural super food that functions as an adaptogen. An adaptogen improves the adaptation ability of the body. In other words, it supplements the specific needs of the body according to age and sex of the person taking Maca. You could say that Maca fills the vacant shelves in our bodies. Maca works for men and women, and has long-term an overall beneficial effect on the body.

My athletic patients and I have noticed that when using Maca they perform better and they are at lesser risk to experience body breakdown. Their enhancement is both, physically and mentally. As a result, I recommend everyone especially weight lifters, body builders, athletes and runners to use Maca daily.

Unlike caffeine, Maca is a healthy choice for increasing energy because it is not a stimulant and totally natural and non-addictive. Maca has an exceptional source of amino acids, vitamin B and C as well as minerals such as, zinc, phosphorous, iron, magnesium, calcium, potassium, and iodine.

The most natural form of Maca is dry powdered Maca. However Maca can be purchased as a tincture or capsule. Maca can be used daily and has no chemicals that interfere with endocrine function, and there are no known side effects.

Whether you are an athletic or you are just running the marathon of everyday life Maca is a healthy addition to your daily regime.

Are Modern Conveniences Really More Important Then Our Health?

2010-08-16T17:56:00.000-07:00

By Dr Nance MacLeod, www.thewellnessdiva.org

In today’s Hamilton Spectator the headlines read Parents claim WI-FI making student sick,. The parents have formed the Rodney Palmer of Simcoe County Safe School Committee. I applaud these parents for stepping up and fighting for the health of their children.

We have known about the dangers and alleged dangers of EMF’s for at least 10 years, yet we have chosen to close one eye and many of us have closed both eyes. Why?

Are modern conveniences really more important then our health?

Are all of the scientists wrong and health Canada right?

In 2007 the German government said “People should avoid using Wi-Fi wherever possible because of the risks it may pose to health,”

Germany's official radiation protection body also advises its citizens to use landlines instead of mobile phones, and warns of "electrosmog" from a wide range of other everyday products, from baby monitors to electric blankets.

The Environment Ministry recommended that people should keep their exposure to radiation from Wi-Fi "as low as possible" by choosing "conventional wired connections". It added that it is "actively informing people about possibilities for reducing personal exposure".

Sir William Stewart, Britain's official health protection watchdog, who has produced two reports calling for caution in using mobile phones and who has also called for a review of the use of Wi-Fi in schools.

There are many reports and a lot of scientific and systematic evidence that shows that EMF is a serious problem that should not be ignored. As more and more people become electro hypersensitive, only about 50% will find out what is causing their problems the other 50% will blame aging as the reason for their health conditions and ignore the evidence that could give them their health back.

For the people who are interested here are some tips to help you protect yourself. I suggest you test these out for a week or n=more and see if you are feeling any different,

1. Avoid installing low-voltage halogen, florescent tubes and energy-efficient compact fluorescent lighting (CFL). All of them generate a nasty electromagnetic field which is harmful to our health. To save on hydro buy LED light bulbs, they are becoming more available and they are very efficient and extremely safe.

2. When replacing your computer monitor or TV purchase the new LCD they emit much less EM radiation.

3. Clean up the electrical power cords. Power bars and transformers around your computer and desk and reroute them away from your feet and seating area, and never use a laptop PC on your lap.

4. Do not install a wireless internet and if you have already shut it off at night and I recommend highly that you go back to hard wires. If you do not want to do that then at least purchase and install Graham/Stetzer filters to protect yourself and your family.

5. Check to see if you have a DECT cordless phone. DECT phones constantly transmit a strong RF signal, even when not in use just sitting in the cradle. If you have one, get rid of it, and/or unplug it at night. I know people who shut off the power bar that the wireless and DECT phone is plugged into.

6. Limit the time you spend talking on a cordless phone and cell phone, and do not let children under 14 use cell phones.

7. Replace all the dimmer switches in your house with regular switches. Even when turned completely on full power a dimmer chops-off part of the electrical current, then it discards in the form of a strong electromagnetic field. Dimmer switches also create dirty electricity that can contaminate an entire home’s electrical wiring with dangerous high frequency energy.

8. Protect your baby. Move baby cribs and beds a few feet away from walls containing electrical wires and don’t locate cribs or beds on walls opposite electronic equipment like computers, entertainment centre and clothes dryers and microwaves. Most walls do not block the magnetic field thrown by electronic devices.

9. Get rid of your microwave oven. If you must use a microwave stand at least five feet away from microwaves when in operation; better still leave the room, even a properly functioning microwave can throw a strong electromagnetic field. A leaky one is even more dangerous. Always keep you microwave unplugged when not in use.

10. Consider purchasing a EMF meter or have a professional come in and measure the EMF’s in your home. They will recommend filters, new switches and other ways to protect your family.

Congratulations to the Rodney Palmer of Simcoe County Safe School Committee, keep up the good work. Here are a few suggestions you can bring to the school board. You are saving lives not just the lives of your children but the teachers that work at the schools as well, and all the people who you are educating.

Natural medicine specialist Dr. Nance MacLeod is changing the face of health one patient at a time ...

Everyone dreams of leading healthier, more energetic lives but Dr. Nance MacLeod PhD, DNM is working hard to make that dream a reality- by going back to nature. As the owner and operator of the Niagara On The Lake Natural Health Care Clinic, Dr. Nance is a natural medicine practitioner, offering several health solutions like natural medicine physicals, pain and stress relief, super foods and nutritional supplements for any age group.

Natural Therapies and Their Benefits...

With nearly three decades of experience in the field of natural medicine, Dr. Nance offers the latest in non-invasive medical technology at her Niagara On The Lake and Southampton clinics.

One of her biggest specialties is her Complete Young Forever TM natural medicine physicals which includes an iridology reading, a tongue analysis, a blood pressure check, a complete history interview, a nutritional consulting session and an EIS full body health scan.

Through her comprehensive EIS SCAN, Dr. Nance is able to look at every internal organ and take measurements of brain chemicals, bone density, hormones, vitamins and trace minerals. She can also identify areas of the body that are affected by issues such as toxins, parasites and stress- and recommend additional tests that can be done by your physician.

Clients often seek Dr. Nance's services when they have tried everything else. Others just want to make sure that everything is on the right track with their health. Her physicals are not intended to replace medical physicals but are used to help patients educate themselves and make the right decisions when it come to healthcare. It also helps them to know what to ask when they are dealing with their doctors.

In terms of pain and stress relief, Dr. Nance provides a wide variety of medical devices and therapies. These include five different types of SCENARS, Low Intensity Lasers, Vibroacoustic Sound Therapy, RIFE Medical Frequencies, Ion Cleanse foot detoxification, a Chi Machine, Oxygen, Reflexology, Egyptian Head and Neck Massage and Medical Hypnotherapy.

Dr. Nance is one of North America's leading experts in super foods like Salvia Hispanica, Shatavari, Raw Cacao, Incan Berries, Maca and Kapikacchu seeds. By introducing the right super foods into your diet, people can treat issues like cholesterol, blood pressure, obesity and depression. Super foods can also help people increase their energy, vitality, brain function, immunity and memory.

A Passion for Healing...

Dr. Nance has spent years building up her clinics and it's been a long and fulfilling journey. Her passion for the natural therapy field all started back in 1979 when she was working as an accounting clerk for a large corporation.

“It was year end and I was getting stressed”, she explains. “ My friend dragged me to a Chinese breathing course called Ki Kou- a type of Chinese yoga. The first couple of classes were really silly but I soon realized I was sleeping better and dealing with my stress much better and that really opened my eyes to the benefit of natural medicine”.

As the years progressed, Dr. Nance began her training with some of the world's leading specialists in areas such as integrative medicine physicals, medical hypnotherapy and super foods and launched her own full time practice. She's also graduated from several institutions including the University of Bridgeport, Pan American School of Natural Medicine, the Canadian School of Nutrition and the University of Integrated Medicine.
But Dr. Nance has never been one to rest on her laurels. She works one week each month at the Southampton Wellness Center in addition to her full time practice in Niagara On the Lake. She's published over 100 books an articles and has spoken around the world on the subject of natural medicine.

In terms of the future, Dr. Nance is hoping to spread the word about natural medicine by educating and training other like minded practitioners. In 1995, she founded the Ancient Journeys School of New Medicine Association based on ancient traditional medicines and new technologies.

Dr. Nance's school- and the field of natural medicine- has seen a lot of growth in recent years and according to Dr. Nance that's becoming more and more important as time goes on.

“Our medical doctors and professionals are simply overworked these days” she says. “But with the help of doctors in the natural medicine community, we can lighten the load on our medical professions and work together to create a patient focused health care system. That's what makes natural medicine so necessary”.

In 2004, Dr. MacLeod was honored with the Order of Excellence by the World Organization of Natural Medicine for her scientific work and dedication to Natural Medicine and for her work at Clinics for Humanity.
