How America’s Dangerous level of Homocysteine is The REAL Killer

Homo-what?

Elevated homoysteine levels are an indication of degradation in the body.

Homocysteine is an amino acid found in blood. It is a breakdown product of L-Methionine, which you can only get from food.

Homocysteine degrades arteries, collagen, and connective tissues.

Homocysteine is highly damaging at unchecked levels, compared to the beneficial amino acid L-Methionine which strengthens hair, skin, and nail structures and more.

When your Homocysteine levels are high, you haven’t reached  sufficient ratio of Homocysteine to L-Methionine.

Read on to see why…

Your Life Depends on…the Methyl Donor.

Methyl Donor is not a person who gives up his hydrophobic functional groups to those in need.

Actually, a Methyl Donor — found in good nutrition — can promote wellness and disarm Homocysteine for good.

Methyl donors act by a remethylation processes. It converts homocysteine into a harmless and beneficial substance. It recycles homocysteine.

Marry the right person, and get the best results.

The same goes for healthy nutrition….

Pick nutrients to promote a state of wellness.

Best Foods to Promote Wellness

1. Organic/and/or/Local/Free-raised/non-GMO/Omega-3 EGGS.

Whole eggs are one of nature’s best foods when it comes to nutrition.

Eggs are one of the best sources in the diet of a vitamin similar to the B-Vitamins. The nutrient known as Choline is highly absorbable in the Egg. In fact, Choline is now becoming as important as Folic Acid for child development in pregnancy.

Choline is a Methyl Donor.

It effectively processes and helps to lower homocysteine levels in the blood.

In addition to this highly positive benefit, Eggs also contain a variety of essential amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and is a source of low-glycemic energy.

2. Raw/and/or/Fresh/Bottled/Purple BEET JUICE*.

Beet Juice is a potent blood purifier.

It will detoxify blood and strengthen along with it’s highly absorbable form of iron.

  • The betacyanins responsible for the powerful purple color of the beet act as extremely beneficial antioxidants in the body. A doctor in Hungary claims to have successfully treated tumors with a daily regime of beet juice.
  • Beet Juice is also a great source of Glutamine, an amino acid that maintains lean tissue and boosts both the digestive and immune systems.
  • The Nitrites in Beet Juice have been shown to boost athletic stamina and regulate blood pressure.

Beet Juice is a methyl donor because it contains Betaine, and some people call it Trimethylglycine. Betaine is a natural methyl-donor which is assimilated well from Beet Juice.

Vitamin B12 and Folate, naturally found in Beet Juice, has also been found responsible for decreasing dangerous homocysteine levels in the body.

*Beet Juice is most often combined with Carrot Juice

Beet Juice and Eggs are a cure for the Standard American Diet

By incorporating these foods into your diet, you assist your body towards a greater being. We seek to exist in a physiological state of wellness.

Thats why I hang out at the markets, juice shops, and Co-Ops.

Come get Well, and Stay Well.

The Beet Juice can change your life. So too does the morning omelet strengthen.

So please, Recycle that Homocysteine.

Then come home to papa.

How are You with E. Coli beef and Salmonella eggs?

Food is life.

Life is like energy, incorporating food.

My fellow reader. We are the energy from nourishment — the nutrients of life. But something is taking away from that.

Sick eggs.

Bad bacteria in food is a serious issue. Half a billion eggs — taken off the market due to health risks.

Beef has it too

Bacteria are simple living organisms — constantly recycling basic nutrients for higher life.

Think of the bad bacteria that steal nutrients from cells. The good guys help you when you help them.

For now, this is about avoiding the bad bacteria. Half a billion egg recalls and now big beef comes into question. What isn’t in doubt is the importance of prevention.

How cows get E. coli.

  1. Diet
  2. Lack of nutrition
  3. Unfavorable touch and/or abuse (handling conditions)
  4. Dangerously unhygienic habitat grow space

Coming to a plate near you…

How to Protect yourself from E. Coli and Salmonella in Beef and Eggs:

Since you have heard the news, you’re already in the game.

1. Consumer education

What are you actually eating?  Where does it come from?  When was it grown or created?

Know your food.

Feed 'em right, so they're like angels.

2. Choose healthy options

Building from the first step, seek the good stuff.

Intuitively, you probably already know what it is. Whole foods, fresh foods, and real foods.

3. Prepare food at home to avoid standard restaurant fare.

Sure, if you forget to pack a lunch one day a week, you can get some Mexican food that day.

But for the rest of the days, prepare food ahead of time and pack it for lunch.

Ice pack + lunchbox = meal on the go.

4. If in doubt, cook the life out of it.

It’s known that heat kills bacteria. For example, some egg companies pasteurize the product before sale. So the bacteria is pre-cooked — you know it is pasteurized by the marking on the egg.

When at home, you can cook meat and eggs to kill bacteria. But if you verify that your meat was from healthy animals, then you can even leave some raw in the middle.

5. Buy local organic

Aside from the nutritional benefits of well-treated cows, there are greater health benefits as well.

Healthy is something that contributes positively to behavior and self-thought. Even though each cow must be ended, the healthiest cows feed us mind-body-everything nourishment.

Go for the beef, and make it grass fed. Chew thoroughly for optimal digestion, and rock on.

Your GUT is the Last Stand against Bad Bacteria

Anything that cant survive in a certain place, won’t survive for long.

The healthy immune system promotes a digestive environment in which E. Coli and Salmonella do not survive.

Bad Digestion is a warning signal!

If you hear other people talk more about digestion, you aren’t alone.

It’s common for people to have horrible digestion from the highly processed diets found in America.

For most, the intestinal flora is out of balance.

Too much acid, not enough alkaline.

Eat more vegetables. Green is known as the color of peace and ecology. Make it green, keep it clean.

To clean up the gut, consume Probiotics

Probiotics are non-human cells that are beneficial to the system.

Probiotic foods prevent disease and promote healing.

The best probiotic foods have this in common:

  • it is abundant with beneficial living cells
  • promotes positive enzyme potential

These probiotic foods contain beneficial lactic acid producing bacteria. In the gut, lactic acid acts as an environmental regulator for other strains of other bacteria. Healthy bacteria that has been with you since birth will thrive in this environment.

For example, from Probiotic Kefir I can easily consume over a hundred billion bacteria from one large serving. Now, most, of this bacteria will continue traveling on through my system.

A serving of Kefir

One serving of Kefir can:

  1. Promote assimilation of nutrients
  2. Relax the central nervous system
  3. Reduce the ratio of harmful bacteria in your gut
  4. Provide all eight essential amino acids
  5. Good source of Tryptophan — precursor to serotonin and a good mood.
  6. Excellent source of calcium
  7. Contains some Vitamin-K (MK7) which promotes constructive metabolism of bone tissue.
  8. Regulate blood sugar levels (great for diabetic)
  9. Gives you energy
  10. Aid in the development of lean muscle tissue
  11. Boost the immune system against bacteria, virus, and more.
  12. Contribute active enzymes

When it comes down to it, this food changed my life. I don’t go more than a day or two without it.

Let food be the answer.

Mass produced food is one of the greatest causes of disease, but it is also one of the greatest causes of human life.

Without massive globalized agriculture, billions of people on this planet would not subsist. But we have to find a balance. Our food is our life — by choosing your food, you choose your life.

So you have two choices. Cook the life out of all of your food, OR… make probiotic food a priority.

This is the difference between less than potential versus wellbeing.

WARNING: Healthy food may produce long lasting results

You are the answer.

Eat with confidence, my friends.

How does Family Lifestyle become YOUR Decision?

Family depends on Our behaviors.

Most of us are on auto-pilot when it comes to neglecting our true motivation.

We don’t usually think about deeper aspects of personality until some drastic event happens to us. Like, why did it happen to me?

Do you realize what you’re doing?

I would pause for a moment and consider, the true magnitude of time spent with family.

It could be a parent, sibling, and significant other. Family time is influential no matter what.

Be passionate about a healthy lifestyle.

This is a proud statement of who you are.

A person who loves to live. Life empowers you only if you empower it.

In other words, to gain physical, mental, and emotional strength, you must feel like this…

Responsibility...

Have the responsibility for how you are, for what you do, and for who you do it with.

We eat vegetables. What do you do?

Nutrient-dense food that empowers us to empower ourselves.

Fresh food.

You aren’t what you eat;You’re what you digest.

Improve your digestive health by understanding it.

Sure, you can learn great nutrition tips from EllisonFitness, but the truth is that you’re already well equipped.

With body and mind, all you need is a little inspiration.

Inspire Family…

Role models are great to have. I gain respect when witnessing character, knowledge, and passion that that is virtuous to me.

Even though I may try, some traits are not for me to master. We are too unique, and I am what I am. Our benefit, though is our positive alliance.

My oldest brother inspires me, and the best part is that it’s mutual. I inspire him with this blog…unless I get too busy to write new posts!

He said this great truth about Lifestyle that I had to share:

Health testimonial:

Making physical fitness a lifestyle choice is one of the best decisions I’ve made and has changed the quality of my life for the better.

I strongly believe consistency is the most important factor for determining success. Exercise and eating healthy requires dedication, discipline, and educating yourself on how to best achieve these goals. That’s why approaching physical fitness as a “lifestyle” makes so much more sense. It becomes something permanent rather than a fleeting vague goal.

Way to go, brother! Success is built upon consistency and successful behaviors.

How to get an amazing body, with family.

You are you, and I am me.

We evolve habits that promote health.

Imagine if eating vegetables was your habit — eating healthy is easy then.

Therefore, being lean with me is the right thing to do.

The Effect of Feminism on the Musclehead and his Mom

The second wave of feminism may have had the greatest effect on the current batch of young males in America. Baby-boomer, middle class women grew up in an era where education, equality, and independence budded into key values.

In the notorious feminist 1963 exposé, The Feminine Mystique, author Betty Friedan argues that the modern woman felt a sense of emptiness. Tired of having an identity revolving solely around husband and family, these woman felt a need for more — for completeness.

They went to school — not just to search for a husband anymore, but to develop professional groundwork. Highly educated and competent, these women took on leadership roles in businesses and agencies while growing their families.

Who's your Captain now?

Ultimately, it would be how modern woman raised her sons that would influence current day masculinity.

The Drive for Masculinity

In the early 20th century, masculinity had more to do with having a stable career and being able to support a family.

Then something new started happening.

Women began to take on higher and higher paying jobs. They out-competed men for leadership roles, meanwhile expecting their potential sexual partners to at least be of equal or higher status professionally.

Feminism taught women to claim their sexuality. Men were to blame for many of their prior problems — men were to blame for their boredom and repression as housewives.

Second-wave Feminism

The young boys learned that it was their entire gender’s fault that women were treated as objects and toys. So these sons of feminism grew into pushovers. They submitted to the glory of woman. They became the hopelessly flawed, “Nice Guy.”

What does Human Nature tell us about Mating and Manliness?

Evolutionary psychology submits that all humans are governed by innate programming — in which the primary goal is survival and replication. According to this theory, both men and women have evolved specific psychological mechanisms that enable us to gauge perceived sexual value of another person within mere moments.

You can’t walk into a store without seeing at least one magazine with half naked men sporting ripped abdominals. Women claim they are more interested in personality than appearance in men, but study after study reveals that muscular men have access to a significantly greater amount of women.

Cosmo Man - the ideal male?

Boys now realize that working really hard professionally in a difficult economic reality may not be the best strategy for reproductive success.

Every Guy Values Muscle. Period.

Some people say that buff guys either get instant respect or instant jealousy from other men. Either way, during these interactions, the amount and appearance of muscle has real value for those who possess such qualities as strength and aesthetics.

Once you gain more muscle, people will say that you look like “more of a man.” It is as if being a man, and the masculinity inherent in that, is directly related to both power and ability to attract women.

Handsome man in proximity!

To be a man with muscle is like being part of a special fraternity. You no longer need brains to get laid, but if you have both muscle and personality, then women stop caring about your income. The right blend of muscularity, charm, and confidence will stop women in their tracks — because attraction is not a choice.

Muscularity satisfies the Man and the Woman

The more of a Man that you are — whatever that really means — the more women will find you attractive. Muscles alone may get some women into bed, but having genuine feelings for her is more important.

Depth of feeling … expands sexual connection … throughout our journey … into mind-blowing realities. Whereas bodies contribute pleasure, it is the intense emotional harmony that sends chills running through her spine. Like a spell, she is captivated by warm touch and the intimate whispers that enhance unmatched passion. Intensity magnifies because he is that, who is of man.

A real man makes her feel beyond safe

From feminism, men learned that it’s okay to be sensitive. But what got lost in translation is that to be a Man is to posses a strong and unique identity. For his virtue manifests inside of himself to which he offers others, and that in itself is valued even greater than the muscular exterior surrounding the physical self.

Stay strong, my friends.
