For true athletic power: Sprints, Dead Lifts & Squats are crucial

Despite the persistent myth, healthy UVB exposure is not the cause of melanoma.

This is why an epidemic of melanoma has broken out among indoor workers. In fact, indoor workers get three to nine times LESS solar UV exposure than outdoor workers get, yet only indoor workers have increasing rates of melanoma -- and the rates have been increasing since before 1940.

In fact, UVB light, which causes your skin to produce vitamin D, is protective against cancer.

Extra calories are now from nutrient-deficient food. It began with refined flour in the 1870s which removed bran and wheat germ to produce long-lasting snowy white flour. Consumers loved it because flour no longer turned rancid, and it didn't become infected with bugs.

Okay. Why didn't bugs chomp down on this new flour? Quite simply because the nutrients, the bran, wheat germ, carotene, were gone. Pollan explained, ". . . this gorgeous white powder was nutritionally worthless, or nearly so. Much the same is now true for corn flour and white rice." Take a look at a package of white flour and count the additives that make up for the loss of natural ingredients.

Meanwhile, it doesn't take a lot of deep thought to realize that my program, at its heart, is based entirely on common sense: an ideal diet and lifestyle, the things you do and do not put into your body everyday, and the way you treat and maintain your body and mind are far more important to your health and well-being than choosing between, say, pain relievers. How often though do you see commercials promoting romaine lettuce or vegetables in general, versus those promoting Tylenol, Motrin and all the other pain relievers? Who, in other words, has really cornered the market on paranoia?

Interval (Anaerobic) Training: Research is showing that the BEST way to condition your heart and burn fat is NOT to jog or walk steadily for an hour. Instead, it’s to alternate short bursts of high-intensity exercise with gentle recovery periods.

This type of exercise, known as interval training or burst type training, can dramatically improve your cardiovascular fitness and fat-burning capabilities.

Another major benefit of this approach is that it radically decreases the amount of time you spend exercising, while giving you even more benefits. For example, intermittent sprinting produces high levels of chemical compounds called catecholamines, which allow more fat to be burned from under your skin within the exercising muscles. The resulting increase in fat oxidation increases weight loss. So, short bursts of activity done at a very high intensity can help you reach your optimal weight and level of fitness, in a shorter amount of time.

Privatizing the gains and Socializing the losses...

Negatives of Nixon abolishing the Gold Standard in 1971:

Did you know the Constitution of the U.S. forbids any currency other than gold and silver?

It's true.

The writers of the Constitution knew that this requirement would prevent banks from taking over the money supply and indebting the people. Of course, this is all to the benefit of banks but often to the misfortune of citizens. The founders knew this happened in Europe and they were intent to prevent it from happening here.

Ultimately, the greed, abuse and criminal behavior of banks has led to what is occurring today. And now we, the citizens, are coerced into bailing out the bankers. This is not right. As Dr. Nouriel Roubini, Professor of Economics and International Business at New York University, so aptly stated:

“This is again a case of privatizing the gains and socializing the losses, a bailout and socialism for the rich, the well-connected, and Wall Street. And it is a scandal that even congressional Democrats have fallen for, this Treasury scam, which does little to resolve the debt burden of millions of distressed home owners."
