Fourteen Reasons Why Dieting Is Bad For Your Health
By: Paul Wilson
1. The lower the calories eaten per day, the harder it is for you to get your daily requirements of proteins and vitamins. 2. Dieting makes your body believe it is starving so it starts to save fat, as this is its best way to store energy. 3. Losing weight means digesting your own body tissues instead of food and unfortunately, dieting does not tell your body what parts it needs to digest or which parts to save. 4. Severe dieting causes muscle loss and if you are unlucky the loss may be from your heart with severe consequences. 5. Dieting will make you difficult to live with and your family may want to kill you. 6. Dieting changes your body chemistry and one effect may be bad breath. 7. If you're a smoker you may smoke even more to dull the hunger pangs. 8. Binge eating, generally with very unsuitable foods often follows dieting. 9. Dieting makes you food obsessed. 10. Breaking a diet often results in guilt, poor self esteem and despair often followed by comfort eating. 11. Dieting emphasises food as a reward or compensation - so called 'comfort eating' where food is used to cheer us up or because it's raining we are somehow entitled to eat lots of sweets or cakes. 12. Dieting lowers the base metabolic rate which means you can live on less food, so when you return to your normal food intake which was already too high, you put on weight even faster than before and will probably end up heavier than before the diet. 13. Dieting does nothing to teach you to eat healthily. Healthy eating does not mean going hungry. 14. Dieting often causes constipation and this concentrates toxins and carcinogens within the bowels and they are present for a longer period. Fruit and vegetables have a positively beneficial effect on the smooth running of your digestive system. Attention!

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn
to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a
distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles
of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers
that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as
a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers
were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the
mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
