The Best Drug & Most Widely Available FREE
What is the best drug in the world? Well it is actually FREE and
readily available. It is...drum roll please....Exercise.
At his research clinic in Dallas, psychologist Jasper Smits is
working on an unorthodox treatment for anxiety and mood disorders, including
depression. It is not yet widely accepted, but his treatment is free and has no
side effects. Compare that with antidepressant drugs, which cost Americans $10
billion each year and have many common side effects: sleep disturbances,
nausea, tremors, changes in body weight.
This intriguing new treatment? It's nothing more than exercise.
That physical activity is crucial to good health — both mental and
physical — is nothing new. As early as the 1970s and '80s, observational
studies showed that Americans who exercised were not only less likely to be
depressed than those who did not but also less likely
to become depressed in the future.
In 1999, Duke University researchers demonstrated in a randomized
controlled trial that depressed adults who participated in an aerobic-exercise
plan improved as much as those treated with sertraline, the drug that, marketed
as Zoloft, was earning Pfizer more than $3 billion annually before its patent
expired in 2006.

Don't ignore or discount this
miracle cure. Among the many benefits of exercise are:
- Cardiovascular benefits - lowers total cholesterol,
lowers the bad LDL cholesterol, raises the good HDL cholesterol, decreases
blood pressure, decreases frequency of heart disease.
- Immune system benefits - decreases number and severity
of colds and flu, decreases rates of cancer.
- Digestive benefits - improves digestion, cures
constipation.
- Blood sugar benefits - helps normalize levels,
preventing or controlling hypoglycemia and adult diabetes.
- Obesity - increases use of calories at rest (with a carry-over
effect to the next day!), increases muscle-to-fat ratio, routine use over
years cures obesity.
- Mental health benefits - lowers stress, elevates mood,
enhances sense of well being, eases depression and grief.
- Sexuality benefits - enhances sexual enjoyment,
regular use enhances sexual attractiveness.
- Miscellaneous benefits - improves body odor, decreases
tendency to abuse damaging drugs, alcohol and tobacco, increases average
life span, improves quality of life (especially in later years).I'd
call exercise the ULTIMATE anti-aging "drug."
Philip Santiago, DC, DACBSP and a
member of the Academy of Anti-Aging noted recently that "People who are
physically fit, eat a healthy, balanced diet and take nutritional supplements
can measure out to be 10 to 20 years younger biologically than their
chronological age."
So why doesn't everyone use this
miracle "drug", especially since it's inexpensive and readily
available? The answer is that you can't just go out and buy a bottle. Everyone
has to put in time and effort to get their own personal supply.
It doesn't matter if you were
physically active in your younger years. If you're not currently engaged in a
physical-activity program on a regular basis (including dancing!), your body is
not receiving the innumerable health-related benefits of exercise.
Take another look at the list of
benefits. Start taking the steps now toward better health. Even little baby
steps like you took long before you learned to dance will pay tremendous
dividends long-term.

The "Reality" of the "Matrix" of Unreality
Some of us live in our own so-called "Reality"
which in actuality is a "Matrix" of Unreality. They choose to
ignore the problems of the world, to turn their shoulders on their brothers and
sisters of the human race, to believe what they are hand held in small dosages
by media outlets controlled by a handful of companies, believing that
politicians have their best interests in mind, and for refusing to believe they
are not controlled by the Corporatocracy.
When I look around me at my peers and the so-called “reality”
they live; I sometimes find myself in utter disbelief leading to a near trance
like state of depression. Why? The vast majority of us are so caught up
in our own "reality" which is built on materialism, greed, fear,
obesity, addiction, narcissism, and overconsumption we are too busy to notice
the misfortunes of those not only in other less fortunate areas of the World we
share, but to those we encounter each and every day. We choose to ignore and escape to our “realities”
which are a comforting part of the “matrix” of unreality each of us creates.
People are worried about what car they drive, clothes they
wear, what trendy club they go to and spend hundreds and in some cases
thousands of dollars to consume a poison that is socially accepted, men having
numerous watches which cost more than the amount it would take to feed hundreds
if not thousands of starving children, women apply cosmetics in amounts that
cost more than it would to keep a child from dying of thirst, we waste, we
pollute, then we only pretend to care because it is the "in" thing to
do. Meanwhile we never answer or seek to ask the real question, "What
can I be doing to help"?
Open your consciousness and be awakened to the reality of
the world.
KONY2012
KONY2012 is a perfect example of what is wrong with some of
us...some call into question the legitimacy of the organization backing
it...well read the following below and that should give a call to the critics:
My message to Kony skeptics: Remind yourself that a man who
does the things that Joseph Kony does is evil. Remember that it is not just
okay, but it is the right thing to do to have an emotional reaction to him and
stop him as a result of that reaction. Recognize that by being a contrarian for
the sake of being a contrarian, you are in an untenable position because you
have no basis by which to judge anything. Lastly, do not use your voice to stop
something that the millennial generation needs: a healthy dose of the reality
of the world, and a way to make a difference.
