How to Use Mindfulness to be Happier And Loss Weight
Mindfulness can mean a great many things depending on who you ask. Essentially this is a tool and like any tool, it can be used in numerous different ways.
Specifically, mindfulness can be used to change what we focus on and to change the way we think. Too often we don’t pay attention to what’s going on inside our mind and that makes us victims of our emotions. We can be in a beautiful place doing fun things with friends, only to find ourselves thinking about work and getting stressed – not actually enjoying the situation we’re in.
Likewise, we can have everything we could possibly want in life and not be happier. And it all comes down to what we choose to focus on.
This is why you can use mindfulness, among other things, as a brilliant tool for making yourself happier and more at ease with your life.
Gratitude
Sometimes this is referred to as a ‘gratitude attitude’. All that effectively means, is that you’re putting yourself in a state of mind where you’re focussing on the things you’re grateful for and you’re happy for. And one very easy way to do that is simply to take a time out at the end of each day to write down those things and to think about them.
Try and end every day by writing three things that you’re thankful for and reflecting on them. Where possible, try to make these different things each day and avoid repetition.
Sometimes these will be obvious things: like your health, like the people you love and like the fact that you have access to food. Focussing on the people you love in particular is a great way to be more grateful to people and this can end up actually improving your relationship with them.
But at the same time, you’re also going to think about those smaller silly things. Maybe you’re grateful for the delicious cereal you’ll have tomorrow? Maybe you’re grateful for the fact that there’s a new film coming out that you’re very excited about? These are all legitimate things!
Now try to carry this over into your daily life. Each time you think of something you don’t have, or that isn’t the way you want it, try to think as well about the things you’re grateful for and what you do have. Don’t have that big flat screen TV? Well just be grateful you have a computer that can watch pretty much any film you can dream of on demand.
Language
Likewise, you should try and think about language and the way you talk – which can have a big impact on your gratitude as well as on the way that other people think about you. For example, trying to stop complaining is something that is very worthwhile. The next time you find yourself saying anything negative, try and follow it up with a positive point that counteracts it. You’ll feel happier and people will think of you as a more positive person they want to be around!

How To Avoid 3 Types Of Strokes
What You Can Do To Lessen Chances Of Having A Stroke
Stroke is a condition that falls under the umbrella of heart disease. Most people don’t realize that there are three kinds of stroke and that there are things you can do to reduce your risk of all kinds of stroke.
The three major kinds of stroke include the following:
• Hemorrhagic stroke - Rather than an area of the brain being without blood and oxygen, a blood vessel in the brain opens up, causing bleeding to occur within the brain. This can be due to areas of weakness in the blood vessels or to aneurysms in the brain that open up and bleed.
• Thrombotic stroke - This is the type of stroke in which plaques build up on the arterial walls of the arteries leading to the brain. The plaques narrow the blood vessels and clots can form in the narrowed areas, causing a reduction in oxygen and blood flow to the brain stops.
• Embolic stroke - This is the type of stroke in which there is a blood clot somewhere in the body (usually on a heart valve) that breaks off and travels through the bloodstream so that it cuts off the circulation to an area of the brain, resulting in a stroke.
Stroke Data In The United States
• Stroke is the leading reason for serious disability overall, and those who survive are often left with paralysis and speech impairment causing long term disability, often requiring long term care
• After the age of 55 years old, the risk for stroke doubles every decade
• Almost ¾ of all strokes occur in people age older than 65
• Stroke is the 3rd leading cause of death in the United States
• There are 795,000 strokes every year
• Someone suffers a stroke every 40 seconds of each and every day in the US
•

Prevention Of Stroke
There are distinctive ways to avoid a stroke depending on the type of stroke you are trying to prevent. There are some things you can do that avert a certain type of stroke but that has the potential to deteriorate another type of stroke.
The following are some things you can do to avoid a stroke:
• Take a baby aspirin - Baby aspirin is a commonly used medication used to prevent the recurrence of heart attack in a patient who has already had a heart attack. Aspirin is a platelet inhibitor, which means that it blocks platelets from sticking together and forming a blood clot. This same phenomenon can work in the prevention of both thrombotic strokes and embolic strokes. If the platelets cannot form a blood clot, it will prevent a blood clot from forming on a heart valve so that it can’t travel to an area of the brain, leading to an embolic stroke. In the same way, when platelets are blocked from forming a clot inside a narrowed area of the blood vessels leading to the brain, this thwarts the onset of a thrombotic stroke.
• Maintain a normal blood pressure - This holds true for all kinds of stroke. If your blood pressure is too high, it contributes to arterial spasm and increases the risk of thrombotic stroke. If the blood pressure is too high, it can push the blood clot in the heart from the heart valve into the circulatory system of the brain, resulting in an embolic stroke. In a completely different way, high blood pressure can cause hemorrhagic strokes. If there is a weakness in the walls of any part of the brain’s circulatory system, high blood pressure can cause that weak area to open up, resulting in the kind of bleeding you see in a hemorrhagic stroke.
• Stop smoking - Smoking has the potential to raise your blood pressure, increasing the risk of all kinds of strokes. Smoking also adds to plaque formation in the walls of the blood vessels so that the risk of thrombotic stroke rises. The longer you smoke, the greater is the risk of developing all kinds of heart disease, including that of thrombotic stroke.
• Maintain normal cholesterol - Cholesterol provides the plaques causing a thrombotic stroke. If you maintain a good level of cholesterol, the plaques don’t build up so much and the chance that a blood clot can form in the arteries is much less. You can keep a good cholesterol level by eating food that is low in cholesterol or by taking medications designed to lower the cholesterol level.
•
Living a healthy lifestyle so that the blood pressure is reduced, smoking is not a problem, and cholesterol is kept within normal levels will go a long way toward reducing the incidence of all types of strokes.
If you are concerned about stroke, or any type of heart disease it is a great idea to see your doctor and get a full physical and relevant screenings to be sure that there is not more that you can do to ensure you remain in optimal health.

It's Sugar, Not FAT, That Makes You FAT!!
Rates of Obesity Increase
• Since the 1980’s the obesity epidemic has increased while we were told to avoid fats in our diet.
• It is now being shown that it is sugar, not fats, that has been the cause of our obesity.
Avoiding fats has caused us to have increased rates of diabetes, obesity, and diet-related diseases.

6 Common Low Carb Diet Mistakes
Our Special Sales of our Ketogenic Diet plan is now available at
http://www.saturdaymorningdiet.com/ketogenic-diet-ebook
6 Common Low Carb Diet Mistakes
So you’ve decided to start a low carb diet?
Great!
And congratulations!
Along with having to be strong and fight those uncontrollable urges to eat carbs, you should take care to avoid common low-carb diet mistakes that people often make.
Avoiding good fats is a common mistake, but fat is necessary to help your body burn fat, and on a low carb diet, it is your main source of energy.
Stick with good fats like avocadoes, which are low in carbs, olive oil, real butter, and almonds in moderation.
Consuming too many carbs is another common mistake, and while the carb count will vary depending on the diet of choice, it is important to get most of your carbs from green vegetables that will give you key nutrients and energy with much less impact carbs.
Consuming too much high fat protein is another misstep, and it is best to get at least 4 to 6 ounces of protein with each meal from lower fat sources.
While meat products have no carbs, many overindulge in bacon and other high fat proteins that can cause problems like high cholesterol and clogging of heart arteries.
Eat more chicken, fish and turkey.
Avoid consuming too much caffeine and artificial sweeteners, as both are insulin triggers in high amounts.
Remember that the hallmark of a low carb diet is avoiding insulin trigger foods that cause spikes in blood sugar levels.
Not keeping proper track of your progress is a mistake as well, and hopping on the scale three times a day doesn't count!
Keep track of the carb counts in the food you are consuming and the exercise you are performing on a daily basis.
Lastly, no matter how well you eat, you still need exercise. Did you know that the more you workout, the more carbs you can eat and still lose weight? It’s a fact!
Additionally, exercise is essential for bone, joint, heart and muscle health. It boosts metabolism, improves mood, gives you energy, and lowers stress.
It promotes sound sleep, brain health and greatly improves the aging process.
When on any diet, it is important to avoid any and all pitfalls if you really want to see results and reach your weight loss goals.
It may be challenging, but thinking about the possible end result can be a good motivator and will keep you focused.
