Total Health Breakthroughs: Free Natural Health Newsletter and Alternative Health Articles

Burn Baby, Burn

In last Tuesday’s THB, I introduced you to PACE®, Dr. Al Sears’ “native fitness” program. It’s a one-of-a-kind exercise plan designed around short bursts of intense exertion that mimic the demands placed on our ancient ancestors.

Fruits and Vegetables are Now Weenies!

In 1936, a group of doctors sounded an alarm to the US Senate. It was a dire warning that the mineral content of the soil was eroding. Vegetables were losing their power and people were at risk. Congress did nothing and today we’re feeling the effects.

Do You Have an “Attitude of Gratitude”?

Are you living your dream or merely existing day to day?  For far too many of us, life means toiling away at a job we don’t like… tolerating “toxic” people in our life… and even accepting marginal health instead of robust vitality.  That was Dr. Tim Reynolds only 10 years ago. 

On the outside it looked like he had it all —a successful career, a wife and family, a big house, and a shiny sports car.  Yet every day when he got up he felt like all he had was a high-responsibility job that was sucking the joy and energy right out of his life.

“It’s fantastic!” he said. “Everybody should be taking it!”

Mary Poppins Had it All Wrong…

I spend a good portion of my day researching for Total Health Breakthroughs. So there isn’t much that surprises me in the mainstream news. But this item did. American adults are eating 22 teaspoons of sugar every day. And that’s not even the worst of it. Children between 14 and 18 consume even more — to the tune of 34 teaspoons every day!

Stop Pulling All-Nighters

By the time you’re 30, you’ve got about as much of the sleep hormone melatonin as a five-year-old. Once you hit 65, you’ve got less than you had when you were a newborn. It’s like your natural production of this important hormone just dries up.

What Are You Thinking?

Do you think more about good food to eat or more about what you are supposed to avoid? The first way of thinking leads to fulfillment and satisfaction, making you likely to eat less. The other leads to guilt and regret and the likelihood to eat more — something all of us want to avoid.
