Top 5 Alkaline Foods for Better Health : Natural Society

Top 5 Alkaline Foods for Better Health : Natural Society: Here are 5 alkaline foods to get you started.


1. Lemons are possibly the most alkaline foods around, plus, they offer many health benefits. Starting your day with a glass of lemon water is a good way to work towards balancing your pH levels first thing. While lemons are initially acidic, the end result is alkaline.
2. Watermelons are another great alkaline-forming food, and are a great diuretic to boot. Check out some other health benefits of watermelons here.
3. Cayenne peppers have numerous benefits even beyond being alkaline-forming. From their antioxidant concentration to their potential added benefits in weight loss ventures, these peppers should be a part of every diet.
4. Leafy Greens, like many other alkalizing foods, have a wealth of health benefits. Things like spinach, kale, chard, and collards are rich in folate and vitamin K. They are also great helpers for the digestive system.
5. Apples have a pH level of about 8.0. They are also rich in fiber, which makes them great for digestion.
Not all vegetables and fruit are alkaline-producing. Some are actually acidifying. Things like corn, lentils, olives, winter squash, blueberries, and cranberries are considered acid-forming. However, these foods also have amazing benefits. Generally, if you eliminate the acid-forming processed foods, you can still enjoy these acid-forming fruit and vegetables on a regular basis.

Ideas are cheap, but action is rare. Here's why execution matters for your business.

October 31, 2011 Ideas are cheap, but action is rare. Execution, from start to finish, is the most valuable element of business, any business. Here's why it matters and how to make more of it happen in your business.
The herd man vs. the individual man
William Crosbie Hunter once wrote, “There are two kinds of men, the kind that lives in the herd and the kind that has strong individuality that needs room to grow. The herd man exists in infinitely greater numbers than the individual man.”
Moo.
All those who don't like being crammed in a cattle chute, stand up and be counted. Ahem. There are lots of you. Lots of hands. Lots of people standing.
Let's narrow this down.
All those who like taking full responsibility for their choices, making the best use of their time, working way too hard and way too long, setting impossibly high expectations for themselves and then meeting them, trying a lot of things that fail in order to find the ones that succeed…you folks stand up and be counted.
Hm. Small crowd this time. Just a few of you. It was that "working hard and long" that got most of those hands down, I'll bet.
At any rate, you folks, the ones still standing: yes, you. You're the anti-herd. It's true, there aren't many of you. That's why you often feel like the world doesn't understand you, or, at any rate, your parents/friends/significant others don't understand you.
Oh, there are plenty of people around who will nod and reiterate their own grand passions, but at the end of the day, they're chilling with a beer and the latest reality show, and you're cranking out the hours of more work, more work and more work. They're talking about creating something, but you, anti-herd guy or gal? You're actually creating something.
And that's the secret.
The most valuable item in a business, any business, is the ability to execute. Anybody can have an idea or plan out a project. What separates the individuals and businesses who succeed from the herd is action.
It's not just any action that makes the difference, though.

Getting it done
Whatever it is, doing something from start to finish, and doing it in a timely, professional matter is key. Not just to know what to do, but to discipline yourself and actually get it done. What do you wish most for in your employees? How about that they would simply do their jobs?
How about you? Do you make it a habit to take each task from start to finish, then move to the next? Or are you prone to distraction, bouts of procrastination and a constant feeling of being a few steps behind? Do you feel like you start each day racing to catch up?
This is not the way a business has to be run, and it's not the way you have to work or live. There are no magic pills or formulas, but there are some tools, or habits, that you could adopt to help you be more productive.

Tool 1: The habit of starting
Beginning something is half the battle, because it's at the point of starting that we encounter the most resistance. We put off starting a task because we think we don't have enough time or we don't have all the resources or we need some important feedback.
Get into the habit of starting before you feel ready, before you have enough time, before you have all your ducks in a row. Start anyway. The thing about being ready is that, even if you feel ready, things rarely work exactly according to plan. You're going to have to improvise along the way, so go ahead and just start now.
Instead of trusting your preparation, trust your ability to analyze, adapt and act along the way.

Tool 2: The habit of focus
Most of us spend too much time trying to minimize interruptions in order to get some work done. It's great to minimize the interruptions you can control, but most of them are out of your control.
Accept that interruptions and distractions are part of life. Quit denying their existence or fighting a battle that is futile. Instead, cultivate the habit of focus. If you can learn to concentrate, you can learn to get stuff done despite the interruptions that will happen.

Tool 3: The habit of daily progress
Big projects scare us because we really don't see how we can make significant progress on them. But small steps add up. If you figure out the actions you need to take to reach your goal, and then make a small version of those actions a daily habit, you'll get there.
Daily, habitual action will get the biggest project done.
Create a daily checklist of the actions you need to complete for your current project. Focus on only one or two big projects at a time. Keep that daily checklist front and center, check it off daily, and keep track of the progress you're making toward your goal.

Tool 4: The habit of finishing
You start. You focus. You act daily. And you get there, sooner than you might think. The final tool is the ability to call the thing done.
Perfection has its place, but it needs to be something that serves you in the quest for quality, not something that controls you. Choose which parts of your project need to be perfect. Give them more time. But don't place the standard of perfection on the project as a whole.
Instead, let done be done. Wrap it up, ship it out and then focus on the next project. Take one task, one idea, or one project all the way to completion.

The approach of the twenty-first century has brought a chorus of pronouncements that "the information society" both requires and makes possible new forms of education. We totally agree with this. But we do not agree that tardiness in translating these declarations into reality can be ascribed, as it often is, to such factors as the lack of money, technology, standards or teacher training. Obviously there is need for improvement in all of those areas. But the primary lack is something very different -; a shortage of bold, coherent, inspiring yet realistic visions of what Education could be like ten and twenty years from now.

Fw: 35 STATES SO FAR....IT'S GROWING FYI

35 STATES SO FAR....IT'S GROWING FYI
 
Governors of 35 states have filed suit against the Federal Government for imposing unlawful burdens upon them. It only takes 38 (of the 50) States to convene a Constitutional Convention.
 
This will take less than thirty seconds to read. If you agree, please pass it on.  This is an idea that we should address.
 
For too long we have been too complacent about the workings of Congress. The latest is to exempt themselves from the Healthcare Reform that passed ... in all of its forms. Somehow, that doesn't seem logical. We do not have an elite that is above the law. I truly don't care if they are Democrat, Republican, Independent or whatever. The self-serving must stop.
 
If each person that receives this will forward it on to 15 people, in three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one proposal that really should be passed around.
 
Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution: "Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and/or Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and/or Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States ..."
 
You are one of my 15... Please keep this going!

Fracking Rules drilling industry representatives exclusive access

Cuomo Team Gives Drillers Jump Start to Influence Fracking Rules

THURSDAY, JUNE 21, 2012

New York regulators gave natural gas drilling industry representatives exclusive access to draft regulations for shale gas drilling as early as six weeks before they were made public, according to records obtained by the Environmental Working Group through New York's Freedom of Information Law.

In at least one instance, a representative of one of the nation’s most powerful drilling companies used this exclusive access to try to weaken rules restricting discharges of radioactive wastewater.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation, known as the DEC, published a 1,500-page environmental impact statement on horizontal drilling and high-volume hydraulic fracturing on Sept. 7 and corresponding draft regulations on Sept. 28. If adopted, the DEC’s regulatory scheme could allow 50,000 gas wells in New York’s portion of the Marcellus Shale, a vast underground formation that stretches along the Appalachian chain as far south as Kentucky. Gov. Andrew Cuomo, D, told an Albany radio station WGDJ Friday he will decide “shortly” whether to proceed with this plan.
