Honey is a simple carbohydrate that the body converts quickly into glucose.

If you don’t supply your body with enough glucose it will convert protein into glucose putting your body in a catabolic state.

Carbohydrates are the body’s fuel for most functions; they supply the body with energy for the brain, muscles, and nervous system.

The brain relies solely on carbohydrates for its energy.

A normal serving of honey would be a tablespoon before, and after your training.

Honey made from bees from flower nectar is a combination of glucose, fructose, and other sugars.

Honey contains protective antioxidants that help against heart disease, cancer, and the aging process.

Your Teeth Can Effect Your Health?

Not brushing your teeth may seem like no big deal, but did you know that poor dental hygiene could trigger a host of diseases from diabetes, cancer, and heart disease? Most people have poor oral hygiene and don’t even know it.



Do You Treat Your Teeth Right?



Gum disease can result in many illnesses without your knowledge and can even go undetected. Gum disease travels through the bloodstream to the other internal organs in your body and can lead to an unexpected illness.

You Can Take A Few Simple Steps To Protect Yourself!

Brushing your teeth correctly removes the bacteria that promote tooth decay and gum disease.

It’s recommended that you put the toothbrush to your teeth at a 45 % angle and use short gentle strokes. Brush your teeth in a elliptical motion, or up and down motion.

Brushing only a small group of teeth at a time, also make sure you get the hard to reach back teeth.

The Wrong Way To Brush Your Teeth!

If you brush your teeth with a back and forth motion you run the risk of causing your gums to recede, expose a root, or simply just wear down the gum line.

I used to brush my teeth this way since it saved time, but this caused my gums to recede and exposed some roots. Making my teeth very sensitive to anything cold and also caused an infection in my body.

How often, and long you should Brush Your Teeth?

You should brush your teeth after every meal, but no less than 2 times a day. Bacteria begins attacking your teeth minutes after you eat a meal

The best way to kill bacteria is to brush with dry bristles first for approximately 2 minutes. How long do you brush your teeth?

Then brush for 1 minute with toothpaste to help erase stains.

Your Toothpaste:

Did you know that most toothpaste don’t kill bacteria?

Did you know that fluoride is highly toxic? Before fluoride was deemed a cavity fighter, it was used as rat poison.And before that it was deemed a toxic waste.

And excessive fluoride has been shown to damage the nervous systems,muscular degeneration and genetic damage, thyroid dysfunction, and even cancer.

A number of different studies have linked fluoride to as many as 10,000 cancer deaths per year, with a high incidence of bone cancer among men exposed to fluoridated water.

Buy a toothpaste that does not contain flouride for your future health.

Your Toothbrush:

You should replace your toothbrush if it looks worn, or at least every 3 months.

It is also important if you have a cold to throw away that toothbrush. The bristles can collect germs and you run the risk of getting that cold back.

Things To Do When You Can’t Brush:

If you can’t brush your teeth after a meal you can use water to swish around your mouth and spit out to clear away a good portion of that bacteria.

Chewing sugarless gum increases the flow of saliva. Saliva helps to flush your mouth and help clear any debris remaining from the meal you just had consumed.

Did you know if you have bad breath your tongue could be causing it? You can use your toothbrush to clean your tongue or buy a tongue scraper.

Also eat a well-balanced healthy diet for good oral hygiene. You should limit the amount of sugary foods and drinks that you have. These are foods that bacteria thrive on to make acid, which can contribute to tooth decay.

Why You Should Floss:

It’s very important that you floss your teeth at least once a day, do it before you go to bed. You would be amazed at the food that gets trapped in between your teeth. When you floss you remove plaque and reduce tooth decay.

Break Your Bad Habits Starting Today

It’s the simple little things that you do each and every day that can create an unhealthy dependence. You say to yourself, its only one, it wont hurt me. Next thing you know years down the road you look in the mirror and wondered what happened to that person you once knew?



You ask yourself how did i get this way, Why Me?



Those little indecision's have become habits and you didn't even realize it. The biggest ones that effect your health are smoking, drinking, sugar, fast food, and junk food. They can lead to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and even death.

The problem with these habits is they are addictive habits; the products are designed to make you crave them even more. If you try to stop consuming them your body goes into withdrawals.

When I first started smoking as a teenager it was at a party, it then became a weekend thing. Next thing I knew it was daily thing, then a pack a day thing. This is the evolution of an additive habit.

I never started out thinking I would be smoking a pack a day, it just happened!

What is A Habit:

A recurrent, often unconscious, pattern of behavior that is acquired through frequent repetition.

Once learned, habits may occur without the intent of the person or may appear to be out of control and are difficult to change.

Breaking Habits:

You should not expect to break an addictive habit immediately. It usually takes two weeks to a couple months minimum to wean yourself off and help avoid withdrawal symptoms, this all depends on your habit and will power.

You need to be properly motivated, most people who try things without proper motivation usually quit quickly.

Reasons to quit a bad habit:

I want to look younger than my age, not older.
I want to set an example for my children so they can lead a healthy life.
I want to able to take care of myself, and not end up in a nursing home.
I want to live long enough to see my grandchildren grow up.
I want to save money and not be spending it all on health care.
I want to be healthy when i get to be older, and be able to do the things i do today.

You need to want something bad enough to make changes in your lifestyle.

What ever your motivations are write them down, stick it on your refrigerator so it’s in your face daily. Read it daily to keep it fresh in your mind.

An Action Plan:

Action plans are used when you want to make sure you accomplish your ultimate goal.

How many times have you said you were going to do something and it never got done?

Start by evaluating your daily routine for a week. Make yourself a daily diary on how this habit is involved in your everyday life.

Each day write in the diary when you do this habit. The reason I tell you to do this is because addictive habits are done unconsciously and you just don’t realize how many times a day your doing this unless you break it down in writing, to actually see it in writing drives the point home mentally also.

Now you have a clear written game plan to work towards. You need to start with small goals first, people always look at the big picture and say I can’t do that. Or try to quit cold turkey ending in disaster.

A small goal is something you would like to achieve in the next week or two, with a plan of action to obtain that goal. Your ultimate goal is to actually quit your bad habit.

Lets use smoking as an example. You consume 5 cigarettes a day for a week that’s 35 cigarettes a week. A small goal would be to consume 1 cigarette less a day for that week. The end result being 28 consumed that week. Not much to ask, easy to accomplish.

You have now reached your first goal and progress is being made. It feels good when you accomplish something; you get a sense of pride. Suddenly the end goal seems possible. It's all about baby steps.

The second, third, fourth week repeat the process, until you get down to that last one. Now you need to replace that habit with something to take up that void, and here is where people go in the wrong directing.

Most people start eating junk food to mimic that hand to mouth motion that they have become accustom to. What i did was use a pipe, this satisfied that need. Soon you become bored with it and its finished, goal accomplished.

If this was about eating just start replacing the bad foods with good healthy foods. Like lean protein, fruits, and vegetables, oatmeal. Soon you will wonder how you ever had eaten that junk.

There was a time i used to drink 1 bottle of soda a day, now i cant stand it. Once you cleanse you body of the all the toxic chemicals you will feel and look better.

Last you need to address your social situations, friends and family. If you put yourself around other people that are doing what you just quit and you lack willpower, you can easily be sucked right back in to your habit.

Try to limit your exposure to these people or ask them to be supportive until you have the will to just say no.

NO I WONT - THIS IS BAD FOR ME!

You just need some time to retrain your thought process, I did it. Other people have and so can you. Just start today and do it!
