Lazy, Lacking Willpower, Failure…?
If you have failed to stick to a diet or exercise routine, perhaps you have been telling yourself that you are lazy, or that you lack willpower. You may even be thinking you are a failure, or don’t care enough about your body to do something to change your current health situation.
If you are in this mindset, I want to hug you and say, “Stop beating yourself up!” Chances are you are simply putting the cart before the horse.
Couch Potato Syndrome
Consider this… will your car start without gasoline? No, of course not. Your body is a magnificent machine – and just like an automobile, it needs fuel to start, and keep running.
You know those days where you just feel incredible? Where your hear and feel you body telling you to get up and dance to a song on the radio, or you suddenly crave going a walk or run? Those are the days your body is fueled up! If you keep fuel in your body, it will want to exercise, rather than sit on the couch like a lump. To try to force the engine to start without fuel, is really quite futile! So you see – you aren’t lazy!
Diet Sabotage
Listen, I am not going to preach you out of enjoying some of the crazy foods on today’s market because it is a fact of life that we are always on the go. The truth is, there is some nutrition in everything we consume… even a Big Mac has some nutrition within it.
The important factor is to ensure your body is able to absorb and assimilate those nutrients as fuel. Without fuel, you not only will not start, but you will begin fade away. Your body depends on minerals, vitamins, and nutrients to survive.
If you aren’t absorbing them, you will typically find yourself with cravings, and unfortunately we crave what we give our body. If the mass amount of what you consume is lacking nutrients and is full of empty calories, full of bad fats or high in carbs – well, guess what it will crave? If you can’t stick to a diet, it is any wonder why? It isn’t your fault!! Your body is simply trying to tell you something and you just aren’t sure how to interpret the message.
Baby Steps, My Friend!!!
You don’t have to run out and join a gym and start eating salads 3 times a day to begin losing weight and feeling great. You simply need to make sure that your body is absorbing and assimilating the key nutrients it needs.
Taking vitamins is NOT the answer!
If your body is incapable of absorbing nutrients – you are simply wasting your money. Not only that, but the amount of energy it takes your body to breakdown typical vitamin supplements is more than you are going to receive from them. If you take vitamins and find yourself still tired – or more tired, this is why!
The “Missing Link” in Your Nutrition
There is something very critical to your body that you need in order to assimilate nutrition… bacteria. And not just any bacteria, it must be healthy bacteria that resides in your gut. These helpful little fellers get in there and fight off bad bacteria while setting up house. They start little families and assist your digestive tract to absorb and assimilate the nutrients you consume.
Typically these helpful bacterial families should be coming into your body naturally from all fruits, veggies and whole grains you consume because they come from soil. However, with today’s over-tilled, irradiated, chemically sprayed and genetically modified whole foods, we are not getting the healthy bacteria we need to survive!
Further, there are many things that kill the healthy bacteria that you are able to absorb. First and foremost antibiotics. Anti means “against.” Biotics means “living organisms.” When you take antibiotics you are not only killing the bad bacteria in your body that may be wreaking havoc, but you are also killing the good guys – those little fellers that keep you alive and help you stave off the bad ones!
A couple prime examples of this that I am sure you can relate to is a child with an ear infection. After a treatment of antibiotics, the ear infections return with a vengeance! Naturally this is because the good bacteria that were there to prevent recurrence were all killed off. Or when women are put on antibiotics, the first thing that happens is a horrid yeast infection. Again, the all the healthy bacteria that naturally fight yeast were eradicated.
Don’t think you don’t take antibiotics!!
If you eat any meat whatsoever that is not organic, or drink dairy products that are not organic – or even drink tap water, you are getting antibiotics into your system!

Rust Proofing our Bodies
Rust-Proofing
Our Bodies
From Dr Karen Coates
Antioxidants, an essential utensil in our anti-aging tool box
What makes the difference between average health and optimal health? The answer lies not in the genetic blueprint of your family tree, but in our body’s ability to be well nourished and ‘rust-proofed’.
Our three top killers in the developed world are cardiovascular disease (encompassing heart attack and stroke), cancer, and Type 2 Diabetes. Your risk of developing any of these diseases has been proven to be directly related to the amount of antioxidants your diet provides.
Antioxidants found in food protect our cells against the damage done by free radicals, known as oxidative stress. Damage is particularly intense in the powerhouse of our cells known as the mitochondria. Free radicals are unbound oxygen molecules that bombard and damage our cells and capillaries. Recent research indicates that poorly nourished cells are more vulnerable to oxidative stress and have a higher requirement for antioxidant-rich food and supplements. This creates a double insult, with poor nutrition leading to micro-malnourished, vulnerable cells and an increased need for antioxidant protection in the presence of a diet inadequate for optimal health.
Most natural therapists will be aware of the importance of antioxidants for skin health, rejuvenation, collagen production and the prevention of skin cancers. More importantly antioxidants forge a resilient barrier of protection to cells undergoing renewal. It is at this time of cell division that the mistakes in genetic messages may lead to uncontrolled growth which we call cancer.
Incredibly, medical research has only recently confirmed what natural therapists and vets have known for decades: that over 70 percent of the Australian population are micronutrient-malnourished. Regardless of body weight the average Australian on an average Australian diet (the traditional meat and three veggies for dinner) is lacking in at least one or more essential nutrients, in particular the antioxidant group of nutrients.
The cause for this is clear. In 1992 a World Health Organization survey reported that Australian soils are the most mineral and vitamin deficient of all the soils of the world’s continents. It makes commonsense that the fruit, vegetables and grains cultivated on these soils are also lacking in the nutrients required for optimal human health. Our vets regularly provide supplements for cattle, sheep and horses to prevent and treat nutritional deficiencies, but the medical profession has been kept in the dark about these facts for years.
How to Assess your Risk of Oxidative Stress
Live blood analysis is a useful health practitioner tool. This can instantly confirm the cellular consequences of poor diet, oxidative stress, by examining a droplet of fresh blood under a microscope. These damaged cells look somewhat like a dried up sultana on live blood analysis. Compare this to a healthy hydrated cell, full of antioxidants, which looks like a luscious, full-bodied grape.
The most important defense we have against unfavorable environmental chemicals and our major health challenges is a well nourished body. Sensible supplementation is essential for optimal health when deficiencies are suspected. Plant extracted organic supplements, with high ORAC scores and phenolic content are preferred, together with a balanced organic diet and
a healthy bowel.

Information!
So What Are Free Radicals Anyway?
Free radicals are atoms, molecules or ions that are usually highly reactive and can be produced within the body by natural biological processes or introduced from outside via tobacco smoke, toxins, pollutants and sub-optimal eating habits. Oxidation is a phenomenon that occurs when free radicals ricochet wildly throughout the body and damage cells. Many forms of cancer are thought to be the result of reactions between free radicals and DNA, resulting in mutations that can adversely affect the cell cycle and potentially lead to malignancy. They are also believed to accelerate the progression of cardiovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, chronic fatigue, and age-related diseases.
Why Do You Need Antioxidants?
An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. ORAC, short for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, is a standardized measurement of the total antioxidant power of a substance. Antioxidant power is the ability to neutralize oxygen free radicals. The more free radicals a substance can absorb, the higher it’s ORAC score.
Radically Tested! Berry Radical is PROVEN to be rich in antioxidants by Brunswick Laboratories, a world leader in research and diagnostic services related to antioxidants and oxidative stress. The ORAC score of 1 gram of Berry Radical is 1448. So, one 5g sachet of Berry Radical contains over 7000 ORAC units! One 150g box contains over 217,000 ORAC units. ONEgroup Organics Catalogue Update: The test results from Brunswick Laboratories are not reflected in the current 2008 catalogue edition which displays 4,000 ORAC units. These new test results represent an increase of over 75% to 7,000+ ORAC units per serving.
What Are ORAC Units And How Many Do We Need?
ORAC, short for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity, is a standardized measurement of the total antioxidant power of a substance. Antioxidant power is the ability to neutralize oxygen free radicals. The more free radicals a substance can absorb, the higher it’s ORAC score. Nutritionists recommend that we consume around 5000 ORAC units per day to significantly impact antioxidant activity in the body and reduce free radical damage.
One serving (half a cup) of fruits or vegetables provides approximately 500 ORAC units. If you’re not eating at least 10 servings of fruits and vegetables a day, you’re not getting the recommended amount of ORAC units to mop-up the damage caused by free radicals in your body every day. The ORAC (total) score of 1 gram of Berry Radical is 1448. So, one 5g sachet of Berry Radical contains over 7000 ORAC units! One 150g of Berry Radical box contains over 217,000 ORAC units.

Radical Weight Loss!
I started taking the Berry Radical and In-Liven a couple of weeks ago and noticed after a few days that I felt more alert and energized. At first I thought that it was my imagination but I also started craving healthier foods. Being a sugar addict I could not believe I was turning down my favorite deserts and not finding them appealing. Then I got on the scale this week and noticed that I had lost six pounds! Six pounds in two weeks is amazing since I have been trying to lose the last 10 pounds of my baby weight for two years.
I bought the In-Liven and the Berry Radical because I had been taking a similar product which was a highly respected brand. I thought I would try your product out because I am a new representative with your company and thought I might as well switch. No one told me that I could lose weight! I was told that I would feel better but I was a skeptic after trying every product that was similar and not feeling or seeing any results.

Moment Of Peace
As a mother of 4 children I have very few moments of peace during the day. My Berry Radical moment is my moment of peace. During the school year I run around working my business and cleaning the house, at 1:55 in the afternoon I put the tea pot on, open my Berry Radical and put it into my favorite mug. I sprinkle honey on top and then pour in the hot water. I love to watch the cup fill with the beautiful color of the Berry Radical. I proceed to my fridge and pour in Vanilla Soy milk to top of my treat. I proceed to my family room to sit on the couch and watch my favorite daily show “As The World Turns”. It is just the right combination of treat and decadence that allows me to walk out the door at 2:45 to pick up 4 kids and start the madness all over again! Thank you!

Berry Luxurious Facial Mask
Japan is in the middle of summer now, we are having strongest ultraviolet rays everyday. Having “Bihaku (ultimate porcelain-white spotless)” skin is Japanese women’s common ideal skin. However I’d like to have lustrous tanned skin. I am about 40 years old but Berry Radical is helping me to have young & beautiful tanned skin.
I use my special recipe of Berry Radical Mask once a week:
1 sachet of Berry Radical
Rejuvenating mask
Rejuvenating Facial serum
Rose Monsoon Mist
Mix ingredients and apply to face (excluding eye zone) and have a bath.
Berry Radical
Recipes

1 x teaspoon organic raw sugar
hot water
organic milk/cream of choice
Chai Radical
Serves 2
2 x sachets of Berry Radical
1 x small can of coconut cream (270ml)
Pinch of each to taste (allspice, black pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, coriander, ginger, nutmeg, star anise, fennel)
1 x bay leaf
1 x vanilla bean
1 x tablespoon honey
270ml water (fill empty coconut milk can with water)
Gently simmer spices, coconut milk and water over low heat for 10 minutes to infuse flavors. When ready to serve, add Berry Radical and stir well. Pour through tea-strainer into big mugs.
BAR shake (Banana Anti-Radical)
(best hangover cure ever – works in 5 minutes!)
Serves 2
2 x sachets Berry Radical
1 x tablespoon organic honey
1 x organic banana
250 ml organic milk of choice
Mix together in a blender (preferably rinse out the left-over alcohol from last night’s daiquiris first!) Bananas have sugar in the form of fructose. They also contain potassium, which is one of the nutrients you lose the most of when you drink. Bananas are also a natural antacid which can help out with nausea. They are high in magnesium (as is the cacao in Berry Radical) which can help relax those pounding blood vessels causing that hangover headache.

The Joy of Sales: How to Never Have to Work Again
Stephen Covey, the author of "The 7 Habits," wrote, If you love your job, you never have to work another day in your life." In my days as a corporate recruiter, I lived and breathed by this quote. I truly found my calling when I found recruiting. Helping others find something that would make them feel worthwhile and successful was immensely gratifying.
Each day I would speak with so many kids fresh out of college, who were ready to tackle the world, yet, they would be so blind at the opportunity to find a career doing something worthwhile. It was always about 'the paycheck.'
I would ask them, "Don't you want something that is so exciting it would make you jump out of bed everyday with excitement, and something so rewarding that you would be thankful each night you lay your head on the pillow?" They would look at me and stare - as I had caught them off guard from their collegiate scripted and rehearsed interview methodology.
But then they would look at me, tilting their heads to the side and say, "Yeah, I would like that... but I want to make a lot of money."
After about four years of this, I began to realize that people don't ever stop and think about what would make them feel worthwhile. They think life presents them with this 'either - or' scenario. You can either make a lot of money - or you can find a career that is worthwhile.
I don't profess to be a millionaire (though it is in my future:-), but I know the power of intention to be something great in life. The power of having fun and enjoying yourself. Doing something that is so dang fun - it never feels like work! I know this - because it is going on midnight and I am smiling as I work to type this to into the computer.
Each day I have the joy of knowing that I am in sales. Say what??? There goes your stereotypical view of what sales is. I know - the used car dealer in the polyester image is there - so wipe it away right now! There is nothing wrong with being in sales. For each day that I sell even just ONE SINGLE product, the impact of that sale reaches global proportions.
From the time the ingredients in our products are planted, grown and harvested using absolutely NO chemicals, pesticides, etc. to alleviate the burden on our earth, to the time that they are lovingly mixed into our beautiful potions, to the recycled packaging they get boxed into, to the shipping that is offset through carbon credits and tree planting, to the time they are used by you, the consumer and reduce your body's chemical burden - to all the little creatures who live in the water from the drains from your home... it is global. It is so far reaching and so amazingly beautiful that it can actually bring me to tears.
I think of it this way... for every product I sell, I am leaving the world a better place than I found it.
If you would love to work from home, with a company that truly walks the talk when it comes to integrity and organic standards - and if you would like to make a difference in people's lives, that ironically benefits the planet, all those whom inhabit it, and earn income from this process... consider joining our company!
www.initforthegreen.com
Remember, life never has to present you with 'either - or' choices. When you are faced with such a choice, ask yourself, "How can I have BOTH?"
The solution is there, if you look for it.
