Everything that you put into your body, your body must filter, take the repair materials from and dispose of the rest. The job of filtering is enormous and apart from limiting the entry of damaging compounds into the system. The best way to help your body with the task is to drink a lot of plain fresh water at a temperature that is not too much of a shock to the organs.

Belief is Ignorance Once you believe something, you stop seeing things clearly with a fresh perspective. Beliefs are useful for filtering the enormous amount of raw information that we are bombarded with every second. However they come with a high price, they rob you of experiencing the reality of the moment as it is, you loose the ability to see things with out pre-conception.

Find a sport you love, that you can do at least once a month, if you cant do it 3 times a week, find a method of cross training with this sport. Then you will have a gauge of your fitness level. I have noticed the people who windsurf at our club over the past 5 years have a very high level of general health without trying particularly hard. Windsurfing provides them with a connection to nature, a space in wilderness to feel free and safe. A general gratitude of being alive on this planet at this time. They do not drink heavily, most do not smoke, many have simplified their lives to a more easy to sustain level of lower debt and more free time.
Windsurfing is fast without being extreme, so we experience very few injuries. Also we need only a little wind to keep in training. We rarely sit around waiting for more wind or a better wind direction, we just get out there and play.
Fruit - You can not go wrong
We know Fruit is good, but is it important when you eat it?
If you eat fruit on an empty stomach, it will play a major role to detoxify your system, supplying you with a great deal of energy for weight loss exercise and other life activities. Let's say you eat two slices of bread and then a slice of fruit. The slice of fruit is ready to go straight through the stomach into the intestines, but it is prevented from doing so. In the meantime the whole meal rots and ferments and turns to acid.
The minute the fruit comes into contact with the food in the stomach and digestive juices, the entire mass of food begins to spoil.... So try eating your fruit on an empty stomach or before your meals! You have heard people complaining ˜ every time I eat watermelon I burp, when I eat durian my stomach bloats up, when I eat a banana I feel like running to the toilet, etc ˜ actually all this may not arise if you eat the fruit on an empty stomach. The fruit mixes with the putrefying other food and produces gas and hence you will bloat! Graying hair, balding, nervous outburst, and dark circles under the eyes are all claimed to arise from bad eating practice.
There is no such thing as some fruits, like orange and lemon are acidic, because all fruits become alkaline in our body, according to Dr. Herbert Shelton who did research on this matter. If you have mastered the correct way of eating fruits, you have the Secret of beauty, longevity, health, energy, happiness and normal weight. When you need to drink fruit juice - drink only fresh fruit juice, NOT from the cans. Don't even drink juice that has been heated up. Don't eat cooked fruits because you don't get the nutrients at all. You only get the taste. Cooking destroys all the vitamins. But eating a whole fruit is better than drinking the juice. If you should drink the juice, drink it mouthful by mouthful slowly, because you must let it mix with your saliva before swallowing it.

It is nice to have a cup of cold drink after a meal. However, the cold water will solidify the oily stuff that you have just consumed. It will slow down the digestion. Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal.
