While hair coloring, pain meds and nursing home reservations occupy so much airtime, how would life change if the answer were closer to home? The coveted Fountain of Youth lives within your own body. Before renewing your own prescription to old age, discover how one brilliant Professor of Education, Prof. Bob Fletcher, discovered that the body’s ability to heal itself is more amazing than any engineering feat. And why one of the top surgeons in Spain, Dr. Baldo Garaycoechea, who gave up a stellar career to find the true end to suffering, feels that Prof. Fletcher’s work is the answer he’s been looking for.
The Rejuven-Age© Technique CD, a remarkably simple yet profound solution to the dis-ease of aging, is the co-creation of Prof. Bob Fletcher, its developer and Dr. Baldo Garaycoechea who inspired the idea. Prof. Fletcher has spent years talking people’s unconscious minds into repairing the body. The Rejuven-Age Technique is the next step in Dr. Fletcher’s extraordinary work. Whether the problem is physical, emotional, mental or intellectual, Prof. Fletcher’s unique technique works on the same premise – the body knows what to do and will go to work repairing itself when it gets the proper instructions.
Dr. Garaycoechea, deeply influenced by Prof. Fletcher’s work, challenged Dr. Fletcher with the concept of applying his technique to the process of aging. Prof. Fletcher found that this was a marvelous and much more direct approach to the process of re-educating the mind, for rejuvenation revives all systems of the body. Dr. Garaycoechea, a top surgeon in Spain, was a pioneer in deafness surgery in the early ‘60s when just a handful of doctors were experimenting in this area, yet he left his notable practice because he knew he was not getting to the root cause of his patients’ problems.The two professionals are launching a website to introduce their powerful Rejuven-Age Technique CD, a radical approach that is far more affordable than the youthening approaches out
there today.
Prof. Fletcher, based in Utah, has designed this technique to instill instructions to the mind to revive body, mind and spirit. Dr. Garaycoechea, now based in Calgary, Canada, has partnered with Prof. Fletcher and Businessman Ernesto Diez Carmona of Spain to launch the Rejuven-Age Technique CD. “We say that becoming older is normal, but aging is a dis-ease. Through Dr. Fletcher’s Rejuven-Age Technique, we can reach the hormones that will put you where you were when you were thirty years of age,” said Dr. Garaycoechea. The CD will be available soon in two tracks, English and Spanish. “All of the knowledge accumulated by Prof. Fletcher made it possible to create Rejuven-Age for the benefit of all mankind to restore youth, regress the body functions to the age of around 30, and allow people to enjoy life in its fullness,” said Dr. Garaycoechea. “Instead of limiting who he can help to office hours, we will be able to reach millions of suffering people through our www.rejuven-age.com website, where people can purchase the CD.”
I am a foreigner living in Japan and I wonder to see a lot of Japanese people living a very good health and stay in shape. Besides having a regular daily exercise by walking and cycling (Japanese walk and use bicycle instead of using cars) I realize later that the way the people here eat is crucial for staying fit.
Mose Japanese eats balance food for every meals. They have varieties of ingredients in each of their meal. Even when they buy a lunch pack in a convenient store, they will be able to have all the nutritiens needed for daily consumption. I need to change the way of eating, from having rice as the main dish and adding more varieties of food in each meal. I believe that the way they eat has strong effect to health and this is why Japan is one of the countries where average life expectancy is pretty high. So find your way to have a balance dietary for your own longer life.
Good source of nutrients for your health
An easy change in your diet can actually lower your cholesterol level and protect you against cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome and breast and colon cancer.
Doctors, nutritionists, and dietitians are trying to encourage people to consume brown rice as an excellent source of all-round nutrition. Experts mention that the difference between brown rice and the popular regular white rice is not just the color. White rice truly lacks the necessary quantities of more than a dozen of important nutrients, including vitamin E, thiamin, niacin, vitamin B1, B3, B6, folacin, potassium, magnesium, and iron.
To have white rice, it goes through a number of procedures before it’s ready for cooking. In creating white rice, the inner husk is removed and the grain is polished. But this entire procedure actually destroys 67% of the rice’s vitamin B3, 80% of its vitamin B1, 90% of its vitamin B6, half of its manganese, half of its phosphorus, 60% of the iron and all of its dietary fibre and essential fatty acids.
Specialists claimed , “Brown rice is a healthy and wholesome meal while white rice is simply a refined starch that is almost entirely bereft of its original nutrients.”
Medical experts tend to agree and said, “More fibre would mean more satiety or feeling of fullness. Because fibre is grossly lacking in white rice, we tend to eat more of it. After about three hours we feel hungry once again. This increases calorie intake, leading to weight gain. We are now asking patients to shift to brown rice.” Experts say one cup (195 grams) of cooked long grain brown rice contains 84 mg of magnesium while one cup of white rice contains 19 mg.
Manganese is necessary for a healthy nervous system and in the production of cholesterol, which is used by the body to produce sex hormones.
Also when the bran layer is removed to make white rice, the oil in the bran is removed. Studies have shown that rice bran oil helps lower LDL cholesterol or the bad cholesterol.
Many people said that women who eat whole grains like brown rice tend not to add weight. Brown rice minimizes colon cancer risk, lowers cholesterol level and provides significant cardiovascular benefits for post-menopausal women. It’s a good source of fibre that reduces high cholesterol levels and prevents atherosclerosis and breast cancer. What’s more Brown rice can remain in storage for six months under normal conditions.

Healthy Exercise, Jumping Rope
When you do exercise you strengthen your body and muscles. If you have strong muscles they will help with good posture.
Jumping rope is a very good exercise for your body and your heart. When you jump it means that you strengthen your leg and arm muscles. When you have stronger muscles you are able to do more of anything.
Exercise could strengthen your heart so it can pump more blood per beat and doesn’t have to work as hard. The amount of blood that is pumped out with each beat of the heart is called stroke volume.
Exercising three to four times a week for 30 minutes increases the strength of the heart, helps keep your arteries clear, and lowers the risk of heart disease such as heart attack and stroke.
Keeping fit strengthens your bones and your body.
I think , one of the best exercises is jumping rope and it is a good way to keep fit.
If you come to Thailand, one of the best things to try is eating “Somtam”. Somtam is very good for your health if you do not a problem with your stomach. It’s ingredients are very good for your health but it is a very hot and tasty food. If you dare taste it. To make Somtam, you need papaya, tomatoes, lime, chilly peppers, some sugar, fish sauce, roasted peanuts, dried shrimp, some garlic, and tamarind juice. When you have all of this ingredients, you are ready to go……. oh you need a large clay mortar and a wooden pestle too.
First, put 3 cloves of garlic and a few chillies into the mortar and mix it with a wooden pestle, just hit the garlic and chillies about ten times.
Second, put 3 cups of julienned peeled unripe papaya, 3 tomatoes, 1 table spoon of tamarind juice, some sugar (any kinds of sugar, or syrup), 1/2 table spoon fish-sauce, 10 grams of dried shrimp, 1 table spoon lime juice, and mix them together around 2 minutes allow the taste to come out of every thing.
And last, it is ready to serve 4 people. Do not forget to top it with roasted peanuts.
What I posted here is just one style of Somtam, which is popular only in the middle part of Thailand. Another style from the North East is a lot tastier than this.
If you have any question about Somtam, post or commend it in this blog. I’ll reply you as soon as possible.
Is it good for health?
Increasingly, health professionals notice the importance of eight hours’ sleep a night. Scientists now believe that the most important factor for general health is sleep, more important than exercise or diet. Sleep is the only treatment that can claim to restore, rejuvenate, and energize both body and the brain. The third of our lives that we spend asleep has a profound effect on the two-thirds that we spend awake-affecting our mood, memory, alertness, and performance.

How to make your everyday life healthy.
- Eat Breakfast
Breakfast fills your “empty tank” to get you going after a long night without food. And it can help you do better in school. Easy to prepare breakfasts include cold cereal with fruit and low-fat milk, whole-wheat toast with peanut butter, yogurt with fruit, whole-grain waffles or even last night’s pizza!
Do physical Activities
It’s easy to fit physical activities into your daily routine. Walk, bike or jog to see friends. Take a 10-minute activity break every hour while you read, do homework or watch TV. Climb stairs instead of taking an escalator or elevator. Try to do these things for a total of 30 minutes every day.
Be Careful with Your Snacks
Snacks are a great way to refuel. Choose snacks from different food groups—a glass of low-fat milk and a few graham crackers, an apple or celery sticks with peanut butter and raisins, or some dry cereal. If you eat smart at other meals, cookies, chips and candy are OK for occasional snacking.
Work out and get a sweat.
Vigorous work-outs—when you’re breathing hard and sweating—help your heart pump better, give you more energy and help you look and feel your best. Start with a warm-up that stretches your muscles. Include 20 minutes of aerobic activity, such as running, jogging or dancing. Follow-up with activities that help make you stronger such as push-ups or lifting weights. Then cool-down with more stretching and deep breathing.
Balance your food choices
You don’t have to give up foods like hamburgers, french fries and ice cream to eat healthfully. You just have to be smart about how often and how much of them you eat. Your body needs nutrients like protein, carbohydrates, fat and many different vitamins and minerals such as vitamins C and A, iron and calcium from a variety of foods. Balancing food choices from the Food Guide Pyramid and checking out the Nutrition Facts Panel on food labels will help you to get all these nutrients.
Get fit with friends or family.
Being active is much more fun with friends or family. Encourage others to join you and plan one special physical activity event, like a bike ride or hiking, with a group each week.
Eat more grains, fruits and vegetables.
These foods give you carbohydrates for energy, plus vitamins, minerals and fiber. Besides, they taste good! Try breads such as whole-wheat, bagels and pita. Spaghetti and oatmeal are also in the grain group.
Bananas, strawberries and melons are some great tasting fruits. Try vegetables raw, on a sandwich or in a salad.
Join in physical activities at school.
Whether you take a physical education class or do other physical activities at school, such as intramural sports, structured activities are a sure way to feel good, look good and stay physically fit.
Foods aren’t good or bad.
A healthy eating style is like a puzzle with many parts. Each part—or food—is different. Some foods may have more fat, sugar or salt while others may have more vitamins or fiber. There is a place for all these foods. What makes a diet good or bad is how foods fit together. Balancing your choices is important. Fit in a higher-fat food, like pepperoni pizza, at dinner by choosing lower-fat foods at other meals. And don’t forget about moderation. If two pieces of pizza fill you up, don’t eat a third.
Make healthy eating and physical activities fun!
Take advantage of physical activities you and your friends enjoy doing together and eat the foods you like. Be adventurous—try new sports, games and other activities as well as new foods. You’ll grow stronger, play longer, and look and feel better! Set realistic goals—don’t try changing too much at once.
Just a few days ago, I read my very old magazine, The New York Times. I got it from my good friend in Canada.
In the magazine I found a very interesting column about FOOD. The recipe sounds so good to me.
And I would like to quote the recipe to post here.
Xinjiang Cabbage Salad
1 head green cabbage (or cauliflower or 2 bunches bok choy)
1/2 cup peanut oil
2 teaspoons salt
2 tablespoons whole Sichuan peppercorns plus 1/2 tablespoon for garnish
1. Shred the cabbage or bok choy like cole slaw. If using cauliflower, break into florets.
2. In a wok or cast-iron skillet, heat the oil until it is almost smoking and stir in the salt and peppercorns.
3. Saute the cabbage in portions big enough to fill the bottom of the wok. As the cabbage gives up its water and shrinks, add another portion, so that by the end of cooking you will have some very crisp cabbage and some (most) very limp.
4. Top the salad with 1/2 table spoon uncooked Sichuan peppercorns
Yield: 4 to 6 servings.
If you try it let me know what you think about it!
