Their aim was to encourage better health and wellbeing to anyone in need of it through a variety of natural, relaxing and highly informative retreat packages. Since our humble beginnings, LVS has gone on to employ over 50 professional, friendly and caring staff who have a diverse range of experience and qualifications between them.
"Never before have I had such a wonderful return on any investment I have made for a better life. The Living Valley Springs family headed by Gary and supported by his wonderful family, and the most professional and caring staff, have given me knowledge and options to change my whole life for the better," said one TripAdvisor reviewer in March.
The way we help our guests is by offering a wide range of health and wellness retreat packages. We recognise the different needs of every individual, which is why we offer such a varied range of retreat lengths from 3 to 21 days.
For example, though the Twenty One-Day Absolute Package might suit an overweight or medically challenged individual looking to turn their entire life around, we also fully support guests on a more casual level, hoping to simply escape for a day or three to relax and unwind. For the latter, the One-Day Spa or Three-Day Rejuvenator would be perfect.
Of course, individual needs being what they are, we know we can't anticipate them all. That's why if you give us a ring, we can also arrange a custom program to better suit you specifically. This could be as simple as choosing between room types and treatment options, or involve extending the stay to 28, 42 or even more nights.
"What a treat! The 10-day cleanse that I did is a genuine value for money break that changed my life. Nothing was too much trouble and all aspects of life were addressed – physical, emotional and spiritual, in a holistic way by professional and caring staff. I would recommend this to anyone," another satisfied customer said.
Our naturopaths, psychologist, therapists, gourmet chefs, personal trainer and the rest of the staff possess a wide enough diversity in skill set that we can offer an equal diversity in the treatment options available here at LVS.
For example, a great way to shrug off some stress is to relax during a remedial massage and deluxe facial, or to close your eyes and daydream in our Russian steam baths.
Those hoping to learn about healthy eating, achieving vitality and weight management would benefit from our nightly health lectures and healthy cooking demonstration, in addition to the raft of organic paleo gourmet meals that we provide throughout the experience. Of course, our group fitness and stretch classes will also help lay the building blocks for managing your weight, as will our inspiring walks through the luminous Noosa Hinterlands themselves. All that on top of our on-site swimming pool and gymnasium!
Our treatments can also help problems such as arthritis, depression, diabetes, addiction, infertility and more.
"I arrived at LVS a septic and did not believe that in seven days they would be able to change the habits of a life time. I was wrong, and thankfully LVS have now given me back my life," a February TripAdvisor reviewer wrote. "LVS is a place to discover life and embrace it, and I left five kilograms there and the knowledge to lose more."
So if you're ready to take the next step of your life, and move forward on the path to better health and wellbeing, make sure to give us a call to see what we can do for you.

Accordingly, spring is one of our busiest times of the year, as people flock to our wellness centre to detox after a long winter. Many people tend to put on a few kilos in winter as a result of eating more carbohydrates and staying indoors. Spring is also a time when fitness becomes a priority. With summer on the horizon most people want to get into shape before exposing their bodies on the beach. Hence, our fitness trainers are run off their feet in spring, and our gym is abuzz with people panicking with urgency to lose a few pounds. Well, spring is gone and summer is here, but even if we neglected to do the spring clean thing, it is not too late to get into shape for a successful summer season.
With a huge variety of outdoor activities available in summer it doesn't take long to make up for a neglected spring. However, for some, December can be a time of year-end stresses, office parties and festive foods, with little time for exercise. Then January comes along and one fails to enjoy the holidays as one should because of a physically depleted state at the end of the year. Well, with the application of a few simple strategies, we can start our holidays in a state of optimal health and achieve maximum enjoyment. Then return to work refreshed and ready to take on the world for another year.
Prevention is better than cure. By applying success strategies to your lifestyle this summer you will avoid illness, tiredness and disappointment. Make the most of the outdoors. Enjoy the national parks, the beaches and the rivers in the best state of Australia. Remember, life is a gift. Relish it!

The post Meet the Fat Family appeared first on Lifestyle Excellence.]]>
The Fat family has been ostracised by the National Heart Foundation, nutritionists and doctors, while only certain members are criminals. Most of the clan are actually essential contributors to the wellness and longevity of the entire community. Cholesterol particularly has been maligned as public enemy number one, when in fact, Mr. Cholesterol is one of the most important citizens in the human body. Through fear and misinformation, many have avoided all fats, only to reap disastrous consequences. The Pritikin Diet, for example, produced many casualties presenting a range of physical and mental disorders.
It is true that some fats cause a lot of trouble. Trans Fat for example, has been responsible for breaking and entering arterial walls, robbing nutrients, exploding white bloods cells, deploying mercenary free radicals and promoting havoc from one organ to the other. Trans Fat hides out in margarine, processed oils, vegetable shortenings and all foods made with them.
The refined Mr. Vegetable Oil is another culprit behind cancer and heart disease. A study of Swedish women showed a marked link between refined vegetable oil intake and higher breast cancer rates.(1) All heat pressed or rancid oils debilitate.
Unsaturated fat barricades protein in the stomach, causing impaired nutrition. He leads enzymes astray affecting digestion and thyroid function. His regular presence in the neighbourhood increases the risk of abnormal blood clotting, inflammation, immune deficiency, obesity and cancer.(2)
Mrs Poly Unsaturated Fat can be a particularly nasty lady, being an expert in immune system sabotage. She has a corrupting influence on fast foods, fried food and most bakery products and contributes decisively to degenerative changes and aging.(3)
The members of the Fat family that support the community reside in foods such as avocados, olives, nuts, coconuts and seeds. Cold pressed oils derived from these sources provide concentrations of health promoting nutrients including the essential fatty acids. Other distinguished fats are found in organic eggs, organic butter and soft cheeses. These fats are often employed as security guards to protect against neurotoxins such as heavy metals, solvents and agricultural chemicals. They nurture the whole system, supporting long-term gastrointestinal health, growth and development, cognitive function, healing, immunity, hormonal balance and skin care.
Contrary to popular belief, these illustrious fats are needed for healthy heart function, and protection against the development of cancer.
Butter, for example, has appreciable amounts of butyric acid, used by the colon as an energy source, and known to be a potent anti-carcinogen. It is also rich in lauric acid, providing protection against microbes and fungus. Butter also protects against calcification of the joints and hardening of the arteries. Butter stimulates the pancreas to produce alkalising bicarbonates and enzymes such as Trypsin, which is known to prevent cancer. Butter is an excellent source of dietary cholesterol. In 1920, the consumption of butter in the USA was eighteen pounds per person per year while heart disease was an insignificant statistic. By 1960, butter consumption had plummeted to four pounds per person per year and heart attack had become the cause of half the deaths in America. As butter was displaced by the mischievous Miss Margarine, cardiovascular disease increased proportionately. Organic butter is readily available. When Moses sang his renowned song of joy, he praised God for the great blessings of butter, sheep's milk and the fat of lambs, rams and goats.(4)
If any member of the Fat Family especially deserves promotion, it is Mr Egg. Good old egg is rich in protein, good fat, iron, minerals and B Vitamins and is vital in the development of cognitive function in children. Jesus himself promoted the egg as a good food for children.(5) Researchers at the University of Connecticut have shown that three eggs a day do not raise heart disease risk factors in elderly people, nor do they increase cholesterol oxidation. They promote health and extend life.(6)
The famous Fat brothers, Omega 3 and Omega 6, are extremely beneficial to the body when they weigh in at the same weight. The ideal ratio is 1:1. Most Australians consume too little Omega 3 and too much Omega 6, often presenting a ratio of up to 1:25. The Japanese, who boast the third highest life expectancy on Earth, present a typical ratio of 1:1. Mercury free fish oils prevent heart disease, cancer, depression, inflammation and diabetes. They improve concentration and memory, and increase energy levels. Omega 3 fats are found in cold water fish, walnuts, flaxseeds, leafy green vegetables, broccoli and cabbage. Their effectiveness is supported by monounsaturated fats such as olive oil, sesame oil and macadamia nut oil.
Cold pressed extra virgin olive oil is a patriarch of the Fat family, containing 75% Oleic Acid along with 12% saturated fat. He is a proven benefactor for the people of the Mediterranean where he has slowed down the ageing process by inhibiting oxidation.
Coconut oil is surely the most robust of all the Fat clan. Renowned for therapeutic and remedial benefits, coconut oil is antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal. It is used in weight loss programs and contains 92% saturated fat and large quantities of lauric acid. Islanders whose diets were predominantly coconut-based boasted healthy, long lives until the Western diet infiltrated their countries.
Doctor Weston Price travelled the world for a decade documenting his observations of indigenous populations, while searching for the secret of health. He found that where the fat intake comprised 50% to 65% of the diet, the people had easy births, healthy teeth, excellent physical structure, general good health and longevity.
There is not one size fits all. The subject requires study, guidance and empiricism. A basic formula that works for many people is: Carbohydrates (15% to 20%), Protein (20% to 30%) and Fat (50% to 65%). The key is to minimise the insulin response in each meal. This is achieved by increasing good fats at the expense of carbohydrates.
Mr. and Mrs. Fat and their little fatlets deserve respect. Eat, the good old fats of our ancestors, and your health will prosper. Deport the contemporary fats such as Trans, Refined and Poly from your home and avoid them at all costs.
Visit Living Valley Springs to cleanse, revive and learn the basics of nutrition for a long and healthy life. Our qualified professionals will design an individual nutrition program that will work for you, and you won't get fat!

The post Spring Clean your Mind and Body appeared first on Lifestyle Excellence.]]>
My brother lives with his wife and daughter in a very large house in South NSW, from which he also operates a vibrant business producing, stocking and selling non-hybrid, non-GMO, heirloom vegetable seeds. We spent several days last week skiing together in the Australian Alps. Yesterday I told him that my wife and I will be spending a night at his place before returning to Queensland. Well, he panicked to say the least. When we arrived, the house was spotless. However my brother told us that he had spent the entire day cleaning up in preparation for our visit. He added that the exercise of tidying up his home and office had motivated him beyond words. He felt fresh, revitalised and energised. His mind was bubbling with new ideas and exciting prospects. Most people would have enjoyed a similar experience at some stage of their lives. It feels good when we clean up our surroundings.
How much more when we clean up our bodies? In spite of our high-tech elimination systems, our bodies accumulate toxic waste in fatty and organ tissue. Day after day, week after week, we are exposed to pollutants – chemicals in our food and household products; chlorine and fluoride in our water; smog and fumes; cosmetics; off-gassing from synthetic products, new carpet and building materials; petrochemicals; organic solvents; pesticides and heavy metals. Even the fillings in our teeth can provide a steady source of toxic mercury which accumulates in the brain, organs and fatty tissue. I have heard it said that if cannibals were to consume some of the people in our society, they would die from chemical poisoning.
Some years ago I visited a university in India that specialised in agriculture. For many years the students had been using chemicals such as herbicides, pesticides and fertilisers to produce huge crops of vegetables. They had no modern machinery, so everything was done by hand. In time the soil became so toxic that mutations started to appear in the vegetables. Many of the students became ill and some developed cancer and other terminal diseases. The entire agriculture project had to be closed down. A professor of organic farming was flown in from Zimbabwe to assess the situation and advise whether or not the soil could be healed. Initially he tested soil from various parts of the farm. He concluded that, in its present state, the soil posed a grave danger to human life.
He advised the university to bring in truckloads of wood charcoal from local timber mills and plough it into the soil, while saturating the soil with water. For eight months the farm was dressed with charcoal as hundreds of trucks dumped their loads. Charcoal absorbs up to eighty times its own volume in poisons, so the project proved to be a great success. The soil was continually tested until there was no trace of toxic chemicals. The professor then educated the students in the practice of organic farming. A worm farm was established and composting was introduced. Areas were set aside to grow nitrogen-rich greens for mulch. The results were nothing less than amazing. Not only did the soil produce perfect crops, but the spirit of the students improved immensely. I was very privileged to meet the professor and see with my own eyes the results achieved by spring-cleaning the soil.
Many years ago a young, depressed cotton farmer came to our health retreat presenting multiple symptoms of disease. Her skin was covered in an irritating rash. Her lungs were producing excessive mucous and her digestive system was a mess, to say the least. It was obvious that her occupation had exposed her to chemicals and that she needed an urgent spring clean. For several days she fasted on protein drinks, made with whey protein concentrate, organic eggs and water. The albumin component of protein mobilises fat-soluble poisons, while the fat in the eggs ensures effective elimination via the liver. Healthy raw eggs are one of the most effective natural detox agents known to man. This method of detoxification addresses toxins stored in the fat, without compromising muscle integrity. When one fasts on juices or water alone, muscle wastage occurs first in order to provide the body with essential proteins.
Treatments for this cotton farmer consisted of daily steambaths, lymphatic drainage, clay wraps and wet sheet wraps. Each day a therapist would wrap the young lady in an icy wet sheet with a warm woollen blanket wrapped around the outside. She would rest in this contrast cocoon for one hour, after which she would be washed. After each treatment the stained sheets reeked of chemicals. They actually had to be destroyed. Our therapist became ill from exposure to the poisons coming out of the girl's body, so she, too, needed a spring clean in time.
The result achieved by our agrarian friend was amazing. Not only did all her physical symptoms disappear, but the girl's personality revived. She was no longer depressed; in fact, she once again became the vibrant person that she had been in her teens. The relationship between the body and the mind is intimate. When one is affected, the other sympathises. Many people come to our retreat for a spring clean, simply because they feel toxic. However it never ceases to amaze me how many of our guests experience an emotional release once the toxins are eliminated.
In a study spearheaded by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), researchers at two major laboratories found an average of 200 industrial chemicals and pollutants in umbilical cord blood from ten babies born in August and September 2004 in hospitals in the USA. Tests revealed a total of 287 chemicals in the group. The umbilical cord blood of these ten children, collected by the Red Cross after the cord was cut, harboured pesticides, consumer product ingredients and wastes from burning coal, gasoline and garbage. Of the 287 chemicals detected, 180 are known to cause cancer in humans or animals, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system and 208 cause birth defects or abnormal development in animal tests.
Our environment is indeed toxic, causing the symphonic language of the human organism to go out of tune. Just like a musical instrument needs regular tuning, so our bodies and minds need time set aside every year to detox the system and fine tune the mechanisms that guarantee our health and happiness.

The post Reflections on ANZAC Day appeared first on Lifestyle Excellence.]]>
Australia lost 61,966 of its finest in WWI and 40,500 in WWII.
In 2010 in Australia: 45,499 people died from circulatory system diseases, 43,293 from cancer and tumours and 11,954 from respiratory system diseases. In ONE year alone 100,746 people died from these three chronic disease groups. This is only 1,720 people less than we lost in BOTH world wars!
In a report on preventative health published by Queensland Health, they state: "Most chronic diseases are preventable."
Are we building a better country for us and our children? We must choose: a country built on a foundation of vitality through healthy lifestyles, or the other – as we are now – one with an increasing burden of mostly preventable lifestyle-related diseases. What is your choice?
This ANZAC Day, let's choose to honour the sacrifice of our brave men and women. Let's rise to the challenge of choosing a healthy future for this wonderful country. One we can look back on and be proud of!
At Living Valley Springs this is our passion and mission. Please contact us, we would love to work with you to achieve your health goals.

The post 10 ways to make the most of your summer! appeared first on Lifestyle Excellence.]]>
I got together with some of our team here at Living Valley Springs Health Retreat and asked them to share a few tips to help you get the most out of your summer…
Sleep is the ultimate form of relaxation. Your body has worked hard all year and it deserves a break. Summer is the perfect time of year to really enjoy those early morning starts, but it may mean getting to bed well before midnight. The sleep hormone, Melatonin, is a powerful antioxidant produced during sleep, in darkness, and peaks during the hours before midnight. To slow down the ageing process and to promote the repair and maintenance of your body ensure you are making the most out of your summer sleeping habits.
Water is the most essential nutrient in the human body as it plays a central role in balancing the fluids of the body, hydrating tissue, removing toxic waste, carrying nutrients into cells and in energising muscles. During the warmer summer months, the need for water becomes even more vital as our level of activity increases. Adequate hydration is even more necessary during the times of extra alcohol and caffeine consumption. These diuretics increase the output of water through the kidneys, leaving the body's tissues, organs and skin dehydrated. Drink plenty of water on rising and then be sure to drink more at regular intervals throughout the day.
Make the most of the long summer days by getting out early and exercising before the day starts to really warm up. Summer is the perfect time to be shedding any extra weight that has accumulated through the colder months. Instead of adding on a few kilos' during the Christmas period, start the New Year looking and feeling great. Be an instigator and organise a group of friends for a bush walk, mountain climb or even games on the beach after the sun goes down. Games of cricket, Frisbee and other simple ball games encourages good fun, quality time and increases oxygen levels. Make the most out of water sports by taking your kids to the local pool or beach and maybe even learn how to surf or join a rowing team.
In one of Australia's largest Vitamin D studies it was found that at least 58% of Australians are vitamin D deficient due to minimal sun exposure and low dietary fat intake. With the excessive marketing of 'Slip, Slop, Slap' and more time spent in doors or under shade, we as a nation are no longer getting the necessary dose of 20 minutes of sunshine daily. As Australians we pride ourselves on our abundance of long, hot summer days. So take time this holiday season to focus on boosting your health with the simple, and economical, benefits that sunshine offers. Vitamin D is essential for kick-starting your immunity, building healthy bones, regulating hormones, balancing the nervous system and facilitating weight loss.
The summer period which surrounds Christmas and New Years in Australia can be a time of great excesses, in both spending and in alcohol and food consumption. To get the most out of your summer, make the principle of moderation a serious consideration before embarking on a shopping spree, eating binge or a series of late nights partying. Enjoying yourself does not necessary have to hurt your savings or your health. Have a breakfast out with friends instead of a dinner. The cost of a breakfast tends to be less expensive than dinner and less likely to include alcohol consumption. You also avoid a late night and going to sleep on a full stomach, both of which promote weight gain. It's ok to spurge sometimes, but make it an exception and not the rule. For those of you who do take your health very seriously, approaching the festive seasons can be a little tricky. When out and about, simply select the healthiest option available and don't stress, as this can often be more harmful to your health in the long term.
Start the New Year with a fresh start! Summer is a great time for getting rid of built up clutter in your home and yard and also in your social calendar. Make a decision about what is essential and what you can let go of. By clearing away the accumulation of the years clutter you can make room for fresh ideas, healthier habits and space to grow. Consider your emotional health and the successes and trials you have experienced throughout the past year. Focus on what you have learnt and use those new skills to plan out another year. Leave behind any negative thoughts or behaviours that will hold you back in this next phase of your journey.
Keep healthy snacks accessible during the flurry of the holidays, as it can be very easy to get caught up eating fast foods that are high in bad fats and sugar. Set aside a small amount of prep time to chop up some veggie sticks and make hummus or beetroot dips. You could even make a large batch of mini meatballs and have soft cheeses accessible for a quick, nutrient dense, filling snacks. Take them with you when you know you will not have access to balanced meals so you don't have to stress about what you are going to eat when hunger kicks in. This will also help you to avoid skipping meals and missing out on much needed nutrition to keep your metabolism burning. It is also a good idea to invest in a glass or BPA free plastic water bottle to take with you when you leave the house. This will help reduce the craving for snacking when all you need is hydration and will prevent the risk of purchasing drinks that are high in sugar.
Make summer a time of exploration and adventure. Get outside of your comfort zone and expand your horizons. And the beauty is that you may not have to go far. Be a tourist in your own town and explore the places you rarely ever go such as the local national parks, museums and heritage walks. Take the time for discovery, which often involves slowing down your pace and actually noticing what is around you. Be appreciative of what you already have and build upon it by getting to know more about your surroundings and the people you come into contact with everyday. Summer is a great time to make new friends and to cultivate the friendships you already have. Consider joining in simple community projects and enjoy the satisfaction that comes from serving others.
Making the most out of your summer could not be achieved without spending quality time with friends and family. Socialising, however, can come at a cost to your health – but it doesn't have to. Make the holiday season special by creating delicious, wholesome, home-style meals. Entertain your friends and family in our own homes where portion size and menu content can be controlled. Create your own healthy platter to bring to social occasion. That way you are sure to have something nutritious to eat from. Focus on slowing down your eating when engaging in social meals. Even if you need to put your fork down in-between each bite, this will help you be aware earlier of when you are actually satisfied.
Why wait until January? Start your resolutions now to allow you more time to begin implementation! Setting goals is essential for achieving long-term success. When it comes to getting results, good intentions are not enough. We never intend on putting on a few extra kilos or expect to find ourselves with too much on our plate to handle, but without good guidelines and goals it can easily happen. Take the time out to plan your year and think about what you would like to achieve. Set realistic goals and create an environment that promotes success. For example if weight loss or healthy eating is your goal, remove all temptations from your home and workplace and stock the shelves with good wholesome foods. Subscribe to free online health newsletters, blogs and Facebook pages that are going to encourage and motivate you throughout the year – some of our favourites to get you started: Sarah Wilson, Christine Cronau, the LVS blog and Facebook page.

The post Butter is Better! appeared first on Lifestyle Excellence.]]>
Butter is rich in vitamins A, D, E and K. It also provides all the cofactors needed to optimise absorption of these nutrients. Studies show that vitamin A is more easily absorbed and utilised from butter than from any other food.2 Vitamins A and D are essential in the absorption of calcium, necessary for strong bones and teeth and Vitamin A is particularly important for protein utilisation.3 Coronary heart disease risk is lower among those who consume more vitamin E than those who take in less.4 Butterfat also contains trace minerals, including manganese, zinc, chromium and iodine.5 Butter is also rich in conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA. Women with the highest levels of CLA in their diet have a 60% lower risk of breast cancer than those with the lowest levels.6 CLA has also been found to support the immune system and encourage muscle building while resisting weight gain.7 Fat-phobia has led to a reduced intake of this valuable nutrient, as it is only found in foods such as whole milk, beef, lamb, and butter. Research also confirms that naturally raised grass-fed animals have as much as 500% more CLA in their milk than those fed conventional grain-based diets.8
The only natural source of butyric acid is in cow milk-fat. Butter and clarified butter (ghee) offer high amounts of this beneficial fatty acid. Butyric acid, or butyrate, is the primary fuel for the colon walls, and supports the function and integrity of the gastrointestinal tract.9 It is also used extensively by the brain to produce GABA (gamma-amino butyric acid), which is the brain's natural calming agent that helps turn off stress reactions.10 The by-product of butter is water. Accordingly, a reasonable daily intake of butter, with adequate vegetables for fibre, will assist in proper hydration of the bowel and produce healthy, regular bowel movements. Butter also provides sustained energy and does not create weight issues. Carbohydrate foods, on the other hand, provide quick energy but can tend to dehydrate creating a need to drink more water.
Butter has properties that protect the heart, unlike margarine and other fabricated fats that are it's real threat. Stearic acid, found in beef fat and butter, is actually a preferred food for the heart.11 ,12 This is why the fat around the heart is highly saturated. A Medical Research Council survey showed that men eating butter ran half the risk of developing heart disease compared to those using margarine.13 A study in India, published in the 1976 issue of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, compared two populations in India (northern and southern), where the notable difference in the diet was the type of fat consumed. Those in the north consumed meat and ghee as their main sources of protein and fat. The southern population used margarine, did not eat meat, yet had a heart disease rate 15 times greater than the northern group despite the fact they had lower cholesterol levels.((American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, 1967, 20:462-75)) A follow-up study was completed 20 years later and reported similar statistics.14 Without doubt, the substitution of natural saturated fats with processed vegetable oils has proven to be a major health disaster!
Butter consists of both short and medium chain fatty acids, being shorter in length than most of the fatty acids found in other fats and oils. The short and medium chains of butter allow it to be directly absorbed from the intestines for energy.15 ,16 ,17 Furthermore, because butter is rich in nutrients and saturated fats, it offers a feeling of satisfaction, thus reducing cravings and binge eating. The short and medium chain fatty acids also contribute to the health of the immune system18 and provide antimicrobial properties, which protect the gut from viruses, yeasts, and pathogenic bacteria.19 ,20 Increased butter consumption has been renowned for improving digestion and reversing conditions, from dyspeptic stomach through to itchy anus.
Cholesterol is found in all body tissues and comprises an integral part of cell membranes. It is necessary for repair and maintenance, hormone production, brain function, immune function, eye development, transportation of antioxidants and elimination of fat-soluble toxins. Cholesterol is also necessary in the metabolism of serotonin, the "feel-good" brain chemical.21 This explains why low cholesterol levels have been linked to poor moods, depression and aggressive behaviour. The body tries to maintain a balance between the amount of cholesterol consumed and the amount manufactured by the liver. If too little is consumed through food, the liver will produce more. If adequate amounts are eaten, the liver produces less. This is why even drastic decreases in dietary cholesterol intake often produce only small drops in blood cholesterol.22 Also, lecithin in butter assists in the proper assimilation and metabolism of cholesterol.23
Butter and cream contain very little lactose or casein, the two substances that cause dairy intolerance in some people. Accordingly, those who are lactose intolerant may tolerate these foods. Those with extreme intolerance for milk protein (casein) can often take butter in the form of ghee from which the milk solids have been removed.24
These days, the challenges of self-sufficiency have been superseded by the perplexing world of the supermarket – especially in the dairy section. Many artificially manufactured products, such as butter substitutes, margarines and spreads have replaced foods ordained by God to promote health and prolong life. In 1912, Professor Paul Sabatier shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry for developing a method, using nickel oxide as a catalyst, whereby liquid oils could be solidified. The process, called hydrogenation, converts vegetable oils into margarine which is used in most processed foods, including breads, biscuits, fast food, cakes and most fried foods. For decades, these phony-fats have been promoted as "healthy alternatives" to butter. However research shows they promote disease and shorten life. Vegetable oils are refined, emulsified and subjected to high temperatures, then reacted with the nickel. Dyes and flavours are added to make the product resemble butter.25 This process produces trans-fatty acids which penetrate cell membranes, disrupt white cells, aggregate red cells and increase the risk of many diseases.
In the 1940's researchers reported a strong correlation between cancer and the consumption of fat. While hydrogenated fats were the only fats on which these studies were based, the blame was placed on saturated fat.26 Since then fears associated with butter consumption have been generated by the fact that butter contains saturated fat, a health promoting, yet falsely maligned nutrient. Saturated fats are stable. They support immune function27 and help maintain cell integrity.28 The latest research on fat clearly shows that it is harmful to consume damaged fats, such as hydrogenated oils or those produced using high temperatures. Hydrogenated trans-fats block the body's ability to use essential fatty acids, such as DHA. This can lead to increased blood cholesterol and immune system dysfunction.29 Consumption has also been associated with coronary heart disease, cancer, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer's disease, liver dysfunction, decreased visual acuity, infertility and problems with bones and tendons.30 ,31 ,32 ,33 In 2002 the National Academy of Sciences attempted to set a safe intake level for trans-fatty acids and concluded, "the only safe intake of trans-fat is zero."34
Butter is indeed better and can be eaten with confidence. Organic butters are available in most supermarkets. I recommend the unprocessed solid block butter. Spread it over vegetables, add it to cooking and mash it with potatoes. However you use it, enjoy this God-given delicacy and reap a multitude of health benefits.

The post Mind Over Matter appeared first on Lifestyle Excellence.]]>
Murray Hambro, 33, is also a double amputee. In December 2010, Hambro was serving as a Lance Corporal in the Second Royal Tank Regiment in Afghanistan when his tank drove over a 65kg roadside bomb. Hambro, who was at the top of the tank in the turret, was sent flying by the force of the explosion. His injuries included breaking all the bones in his feet, his pelvis, six fractured vertebrae in his neck plus a ripped liver and spleen. Within forty-eight hours of getting to hospital he was a double amputee. Determined to walk again for his August 2011 wedding, Hambro applied mind over matter and took his first steps in February, just three months after the amputation. He was back on the road on a newly modified motorbike by April of that year, against the advice of the surgeons. In the same year, Hambro managed nine weekends of club racing before securing a place in the season's Triumph Triple Challenge. In 2012 he slid into a tyre wall at 80 mph, but has continued his motorbike racing career with more determination than ever. He has "LEGLESS" embroidered on the back of his race leathers and "NO FEET" on his personalised number plate.
What about the Paralympians? Australia has sent delegations to the Summer Paralympics since the first games in 1960. In 2012 our team of athletes, presenting with multiple mobility disabilities, amputations, blindness and cerebral palsy took home a total of 85 medals (32 gold).
One of my greatest inspirations is an Australian called Nick Vujicic. Nick was born in 1982 in Melbourne, without arms or legs. He has two small feet, one having two toes, attached to his pelvis. After bouts of depression in his childhood years, Nick figured out how to live a full life without limbs, adapting many of the daily skills people accomplish without thinking. He writes with his two toes. He uses a computer and can type 43 words per minute using the "heel and toe" method. He can throw tennis balls, play drum peddles, comb his hair, brush his teeth, pour a glass of water, answer the phone and shave, in addition to participating in golf, swimming, soccer, surfing and sky-diving. He was elected school captain during secondary school and worked with the student council to raise funds for local charities and disability campaigns. At age seventeen, Nick became a public speaker and founded a non-profit organisation, 'Life Without Limbs'. Nick graduated from university at age 21 with a Bachelor in Commerce, with a double major in accounting and financial planning. He is a profound motivational speaker, travelling internationally and focusing on teen issues. He has addressed over three million people in over 24 countries. Nick was married in February 2012 and became a proud father in February 2013.
The power of the will is an amazing thing. When rightly directed it can change the entire chemistry of the body and mind. There are literally hundreds of chemicals and compounds that can be produced in our bodies depending on what is going on in our lives. Take adrenaline for example. In a scary situation, under the influence of fear, adrenaline will be pumped through the system providing super human strength for a short period of time. It is the same with all the other neurotransmitters. We decide how we will think or react in any given situation. Each thought then produces a series of chemical changes affecting both brain and body. Those who learn to effectively manage their emotions and thoughts become masters of their own destiny.
My father had a serious motorbike accident at age of 24. He spent months in hospital and was told he may never walk again. One of the carotid arteries to his brain had to be permanently tied off and he was left cross-eyed for several years. Through sheer determination he exercised his legs and eyes every day until sweat poured from his brow. He went on to have four children. He become a phenomenal snow skier and one of Sydney's leading electrical engineers. He developed osteoarthritis in his damaged hip during his later years and eventually decided to see a Specialist. When the doctor saw his X-Rays he declared that it was impossible for my dad to be walking. Dad explained that he was still playing competitive squash every week. The doctor called him 'The Bumble Bee'. According to aerodynamic law, based on wingspan, body weight and revs per second, bumblebees cannot lift off. They cannot fly. The problem is that nobody has told them.
We are all bumblebees if we want to be. We are all capable of far greater achievements in life than most of us believe. Try a little exercise this week. Expand your preconceived self-related possibilities and plan to do something BIG. You can be fitter and stronger than you have ever been. You can enjoy life more than you ever thought possible. You can overcome any health challenge. You can harmonise relationships. With a little mind over matter you can align yourself with providence and experience the high places of life.

One of the specification of our client was a responsive web design and this template has exactly what we were looking for. We were looking for zen cart templates and the true is there are a few options for responsible zen cart templates in the market right now. The remarkable features in this template are the Menu, slideshow and banners, and the easy way to configure them. You don't need to be an expert to do it, you just need some basic knowledge in Zen Cart. We are under construction now, but you can see soon the website done. Please visit www.mamalycha.net. Customer services was prompt and very friendly. After purchase, I downloaded the files and started immediately to work. Installation was very easy. Then, I had some questions so I went to the Online Chat and I got very quick response. This template is pretty good, I just found something odd about the ez pages. When you create a new ez page for any reason the website footer disappears, but it doesn't happen with the ez pages with internal link. But anyway it still be a excellent template, most important it is responsive. Thanks!

- Nothing but the best activities and accommodation!
- Our site could not be any easier to use

What Makes Edinburgh Perfect For A Stag Do!
Och Aye The Noo! Welcome to Edinburgh, one of the country's most popular stag do spots! Here you get to see some of the best that Scotland has to offer. No one parties harder than the Scots and the ones in Edinburgh are just a wee bit more mental than the rest! What is really cool about Edinburgh though is the way that it has not only a ton of great stuff to get up to on a night out, but also a lot of great daytime activities for you gents to have fun with.
While I highly doubt that any of you gentlemen are the touristy types, Edinburgh is easily the most popular tourist destination in Scotland. And if you do want a little bit of culture during your stag weekend then you can check out some of the amazing historical sights such as Edinburgh Castle, Palace Of Holyrood House and Mary King's Close.
How Do We Get To Edinburgh?
I know that some areas of Scotland do have a reputation for being a royal pain in the ass to find, but Edinburgh sure as hell is not one of those places. The best and easiest way to get here by a mile is train. The train station is right in the centre and trains come here from all over the UK. Coaches are also regularly available from most areas as well.
I'm Starving Where Can I Eat?
I know that you guys will want to have fun, but damn it you boys need to eat! So here I have a few of the best places to grab some grub.
Bella Italia
When it comes to finding a place that has something on the menu for everyone, you cannot go wrong with the Bella Italia. They have a ton of pizza choices, pasta dishes and spaghetti to name just a few.
The Cambridge Bar
Here we have a classic, British pub lunch. The Cambridge Bar is a really cool place and its claim to fame is that it offers the best burgers in Edinburgh. Here you can have a damn fine meal and a few pints to wash it down with.
No we are not talking about that god awful, man hating woman's magazine! If you want something a little different and special for your stag weekend main meal then get some nice Asian food here at Cosmo. Check out this review of Cosmo
Awesome Things To Do During The Day!
Hey there is more to Edinburgh than just getting well and truly pissed! Here we have a few of the best things you guys can get up to during the day!
Urban Paintballing
Paintball places seem to be opening up all over the place, but Urban Paintballing offers the only indoor paintball action in Scotland. What makes this really cool is the fact that while this place is freaking huge. It's not a vast outdoor space. That means the battles here are much more intense as there are always some walls stopping you running away. Sometimes, you just need to man up and take down those SOB's like a true bad ass! This is an absolute blast and there are few things in life more enjoyable than shooting a mate!
Go Karting
Go karting is a real classic of a stag do event and right here is regarded as one of the best places to have some go kart racing action! This is one of the best courses in the land and you guys will get to take part in a serious, F1 style race…… ok maybe not F1, but this is as close to the real thing as you are going to get. You will be going balls to the wall fast as you try to prove you are the best driver out of your stag party. The track is amazing and so are the go karts you will be racing in, these bad boys can go fast as hell!
Quad Biking Safari
This is one of the classic stag do events, Quad Biking is awesome for you guys as it's something that even the dumb ass in your group will be able to learn the basics of. This is different from your normal type of quad biking day. Instead of doing a boring ass race. You will be going on a trek where you will get to take these powerful Yamaha, quad bikes over all kinds of cool terrain. You will really get to see what these quad bikes are capable of as well as seeing some cool Scottish sights. Who knows you may even see some wild Haggis or perhaps Billy Connolly on one of his naked walks!
Cliff Jumping
Cliff Jumping my friends is exactly what it says on the can. You guys will suit up in some wet suits andjump off a cliff into the water below. After a quick safety talk, being taught how to jump properly and checking you have a clean pair of underpants it's time to tackle your first jump. Things start at about 15 feet leading up to jumps at about 40 feet high. This is scary as hell, but the rush you get after that first jump is just out of this world. If you want your stag weekend to have an event that is a little nuts and unusual then this my friends is it!
The Best Of The Edinburgh Nightlife!
Edinburgh is known for its mental nightlife and here are a few of the best ways to make the best of it!
The famous Club Class Bus Bar Tour
If you want to see some of the best pubs and sights in Edinburgh, but you cannot be assed to walk everywhere. Then you need to get on board the Club Class Bus This is the original and best Party on a bus and you guys will sure as hell make this stag night one to remember with a ride on here. It's a nonstop, crazy party on wheels as you are taken from one bar to the next!
Studio 24 Nightclub
Look it's really hard to just pick a couple of the clubs here in Edinburgh, but one that is a little bit different from the rest is Studio 24.
This place offers more of a laid back vibe and offers some great live events like guest DJ's and live bands. And they always seem to have some kind of theme night going on. So if you want your stag do in Edinburgh one to remember then check out Studio 24.
Cabaret Voltaire
What is really cool about this somewhat underground club, The Cabaret Voltaire is that, as well as having a great dance scene for you guys in the stag party who just love to get down. There are many other areas where you can kick back with a beer and just admire the sexy, Edinburgh locals doing their thing on the dance floor. This is just a really cool place to hang out and bring your stag night to a close and it's also very popular with the ladies!
Fantasy Palace Lap Dancing Club
Come on you did not think I was going to leave out a lap dancing club did you? Fantasy Palace is regarded by more than a few gents as the best lap dancing club in the city. Here you and your fellow stags will get to gawk at the ladies doing their thing on the pole and stage all the while trying to hide your excitement if you know what I am talking about! They love stag groups here so chip in and get the main man a private dance so he can enjoy his dying days of freedom. As well as the sexy ladies, Fantasy Palace also has three well stocked bars! Hot chicks, good booze and a fantastic atmosphere what more could some guys want?
A Quick Word on Your Edinburgh Stag Accommodation
Edinburgh can get pretty busy in certain weekends and also during Festival times. In fact, it is a super popular citybreak destination so weekends can be tough for certain types of accommodation. If you are travelling on the cheap, then hostels should be easy with the caveat that the really nice Edinburgh hostels are more popular than the more out of the way ones, but three star quality hotels can be more tricky as they fill up with tourists from the Ruhr
Enjoy probably one of the best weekends in the country - An Edinburgh stag weekend .

Plans to Fund Pop Culture Museum Still Alive
TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Backers of a museum devoted to Oklahoma popular culture say they're still hopeful state lawmakers will approve $40 million to help build it.
A proposal to divert the money over four years for the so-called OKPOP Museum in Tulsa narrowly passed a Senate budget committee by a 13-12 vote on Thursday.
The measure now heads to a similar committee in the House, where plans for the museum fell apart last year.
The museum, which has been in the planning stages for several years, will be a 75,000-square-foot, four-story building dedicated to Oklahoma artists and their impact on popular culture.
The Legislature is supposed to adjourn by May 31, but lawmakers say they want to end the session next week.

This weekend: Museums at Night
Venues across the country will be open after hours in a celebration of history and heritage.
Venues across the country will be open after hours in a celebration of history and heritage.
by Mike Sweeney Published
Readers with an evening spare this weekend would do well to visit one of the 300 museums and galleries participating in this year's Museums at Night scheme, an annual UK-wide celebration of all things cultural.
Introduced after the success of the Paris-conceived Nuit européenne des musées -- now in its sixth year -- the UK scheme will run from 14 to 16 May and includes tours, talks and workshop events at heritage sites throughout the country.
London highlights include a screening of Alfred Hitchcock films at the Victoria and Albert Museum, a curator-led tour of the London Transport Museum and a class on stitching at the the Royal College of Surgeons' Hunterian Museum, taught by practising surgeons.
Elsewhere, the Eden Project in Cornwall will host a night of sound installation, storytelling and musical performance inside its artificial biomes. In Norwich, a torchlit tour of the cathedral will take place, and a "silent disco" (dancing with headphones on) will be held at Tate Liverpool.
A full listing of events can be found on the culture24 website.

How to Reuse Broken Things
Have you ever broken something but wished there was something to do with it other than to throw it out? Well, here is the place to look!
1Ask yourself "Can I fix this, or is it really broken?" If you can easily fix something why think of a way to reuse it?Ad
2Think of what the object was used for, and think of similar things. For example a sleeping bag with a broken zipper could be a blanket!
3Look for things that can be made from the broken object. For example a pillow with a large hole could be a bag made by emptying out the feathers! Here are some more examples:
4Test your idea. You don't want to have a reused object only to discover it doesn't work when you really need it!Ad
We could really use your help!

|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|4 - 7 nights
Enjoy watching the waves crash onto the sandy shores from your private front porch in this Ocean Front luxury Cottage home. Modern upgrades including a Chef's Viking range complement the sun-splashed kitchen. Recently remodeled, and professionally designed, exquisite furnishings complete this fully equipped home with flat screen TVs with premium cable in all 3 bedrooms and in the living room, WIFI, and all the amenities one would expect of a luxury home on an ocean front street. Walk to all the best restaurants and shopping La Jolla has to offer in the heart of the Village on coveted Coast Blvd. The private fully fenced in backyard patio features a luxurious Spa with a soothing fountain with comfortable outdoor seating area for entertaining and bar be ques. The furnishings are of the highest quality. Enjoy ocean views from the dining room, kitchen, living room and one bedroom. You will not want to leave the front porch, although all of La Jolla is just outside your front door. This home is the ultimate La Jolla luxury beach cottage.
This oceanfront cottage is paradise! Our family stayed here for a reunion last year. There was something for everyone to do - sitting on the front porch watching sunset, running down to the beach for the tidal pool, and enjoying the Jacuzzi in the backyard. This lovely home was well maintained and clean. Our family had a great time and will definitely return again!
My wife and I stayed at this home last summer. This cozy cottage was perfect for the two of us, with additional rooms for children. We walked to the beach every day, which was just 3 houses away. This was a wonderful location and we enjoyed the stay. Will return again!
If you are looking for a great beach house that is comfortable and peaceful with an awesome view...look no furthur. My husband and I LOVED the time we spent at the cottage. The beautiful rose lined entrance was a surprising welcome when we arrived. We had planned to dine out a lot at the great restaurants nearby, but after sitting on the fabulous porch we decided to visit the grocery store and cooked most of our meals at the house. Afterwards we would relax on the front porch. We were on the porch morning, noon and night reading a book, sipping wine or people watching and then when night fell we would listen to the waves crash against the rocks. Every time we would leave the house to go sightseeing we couldn't wait to get back to our little secret hideaway. When we did venture out, the location was very convenient to the main part of La Jolla Village. The house has been remodeled recently and is just precious. The Property Manager Mireya was wonderful to work with and helped make our stay sheer perfection.
For what we paid and for where the house is located its very hard to beat this cottage. It isn't big - but we had our 2 kids and in-laws there and it fit us fine - but it is comfortable. The porch is the best though, as my father in-law literally sat on the front porch for hours on end, and being able to walk a few yards across the street to the beach was amazing. The house was in good shape with a great big TV and sound system, and for a historic cottage in La Jolla it has held up pretty well.
But why you are staying there shouldn't be to sit inside every day. You are literally a few blocks away from great restaurants, La Jolla Cove, lounging seals. Seal World and the San Diego Zoo are very close as well. It's a very walkable, lovely area.
The hot tub was a nice touch as well. One other positive is the rental company - Mireya was very helpful and easy to work with. And the house was clean when we arrived.
It's pretty clear from the pictures but between you and the ocean is a public street where people park and check out the views all day. It didn't bother us in the least, but during the day the street will get filled up.
Overall, an amazing time at a great, historic cottage. You will be hard pressed to find betters views and location in La Jolla.
Waking up to the sound and views of the Pacific ocean made my vacation. My family enjoyed sitting out on the porch and watching the sunsets almost every day! The hot tub was also very relaxing. My kids enjoyed being able to run across the street and play on the beach and my wife enjoyed all the fine dining options within walking distance. Kudos to the homeowner for the brilliant audio system and speakers in every room and by the jacuzzi. My family had a wonderful stay at the Ocean Front Luxury Cottage and we'll definitely be back next year.
There are big plusses and some real minuses for this property that we rented for a week over the 2012 Holiday. On the plus side, the location is just perfect with million dollar views of the ocean and a short walk or drive to the best of everything La Jolla offers. The front porch is may be the best spot on this stretch of the beach to sit for hours and enjoy the views. Inside the home, the smallish living room is comfortable and also offers great views with a new TV and comfortable furniture. Two of the three bedrooms are also nicely furnished and provide access to the back patio area that has a really nice hot tub. On the minus side, the house is an old cottage and still in need of work to bring it up to the "luxury" level advertised. We had one toilet that was in need of replacement malfunction with the first flush and was unable to be fixed during our stay, leaving us with just one bathroom for all to use. They attempted a fix but claimed the replacement was too extensive to handle during our visit and thus we were left short for our group of 5. While the master bathroom is finished nicely, that second bathroom (with the bad toilet) is very small with the most basic tub/shower and curtain that doesn't rise to "luxury" standards. The third bedroom was also a disappointment as it is tiny with a single bed and underneath trundle (not truly two beds as described) and the trundle was even blocked from use by the large desk seen in the photo in front of the window. The rental agent claims the trundle could be used if the desk is positioned correctly but unless it is placed in front of the closet, blocking its use, I can't imagine how else this tiny room can hold two beds and that desk. Lastly, the hardwood floors are in dire need of refinishing and the kitchen lacks the basic cooking supplies one might expect in a "luxury" rental. We addressed these concerns, particularly the issue of the weeklong non-working toilet, with the rental agent and the owner rejected any suggestion that we were due a rental fee concession despite not being able to deliver what was promised. That was a very disappointing response given the promise of "luxury" accommodations. The location can't be beat and the cottage has many charming features but be sure you can fit your family/group in this 2 1/2 bedroom space and that these other issues have been addressed before proceeding as our experience was that they won't make up for deficiencies once you have arrived.

Latest 99942 Apophis Stories
Billy Meier published information from extraterrestrial humans in 1991 – 13 years prior to "official" discovery Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 11, 2013
An asteroid that was only discovered Saturday (Mar. 2) has made a run by Earth in the early hours of March 5, some 250,000 miles away. While the asteroid is being associated with last month's Russian meteor in respect to its mass, the two bodies are not linked in any other way.
On February 15, astronomers will have an exciting opportunity with a record-setting close approach of an asteroid. The research team, using the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) and NASA telescopes, will gain a key clue that will help predict the future of this nearby cosmic neighbor.
There is a less than one-in-a-million chance that a massive asteroid, approximately as wide as three American football fields, will collide with Earth in 2036.
ESA's Herschel space observatory made new observations of asteroid Apophis as it approached Earth this weekend. The data shows the asteroid to be bigger than first estimated, and less reflective.
Asteroid 99942, named Apophis after an ancient Egyptian mythological demon, will be whizzing by Earth this week. Apophis is a near-Earth asteroid with an estimated diameter of approximately three football fields – over 880 feet.
Bruce Willis didn't need a fancy atomic bomb to steer away the asteroid that was aiming for Earth in the movie Armageddon. He could've just been wielding a paintball gun.
