This blog's mission is to improve Cultural Health, by raising Cultural Literacy and reducing Cultural Poisoning.
With respect to Cultural Literacy, I am focused on Classical African Civilization. With respect to Cultural Poisoning, I will help you understand how to Detect it, Correct it, and most importantly, how to prevent little children from catching it.
This site is for Americans in general and African Americans in particular. Video: Politics to Physical Health
Fitness fanatics should reach for the mustard and NOT spinach if they want to look like Popeye
Fitness fanatics looking to build muscle should consider reaching for the mustard, a study has found.
The steroid homobrassinolide, found in the mustard plant, increases muscle mass, the size of muscle fibres and appetite, research suggests.
In addition, the effect when tested on rats was similar to anabolic steroids, which promote the growth of muscle and which are used illegally by athletes to improve performance.
I did not have the study but wanting to maximize my physical health, I gave up potato chips a few years back using ancient Cultural technology.
Diet can be more important then exercise depending on what you eat. The fitness key is understanding how delete negative programming in your bio-computer and replacing it with a healthy program.
Potato chips are piling on the pounds, study finds
LOS ANGELES — Blame the potato chip. It's the biggest demon behind that pound-a-year weight creep that plagues many of us, a major diet study found. Bigger than soda, candy and ice cream.
And the reason is partly that old advertising cliche: You can't eat just one.
See this slide show of the six Black Superfoods that everyone should know about. Here is another health related list you should also know about. They are foods you know and should stay away from.
The Five Deadly Whites
1. White Sugar (limit refined sugar)
2. White Salt (can cause High Blood Pressure)
3. White Potato's (High glycemic index)
4. White Rice (High Glycemic index)
5. White Bread (High Glycemic index) I call it diabetes bread
I stopped eating the Deadly Whites a long time ago. I will now start looking for the items in the Black Superfoods list which, is new to me. If you want to see what the act of stopping eating from the deadly list can do for you, check me out at my lifeRcise1 channel on YouTube.
Black Superfoods: Black Is The New Green
Green veggies have long been hailed as the go-to good-for-you food, but dark fruits, veggies, and grains are nutritional powerhouses, too. Their color comes from anthocyanins, plant pigments that may help lower the risks of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
Black Rice
In fact, "black foods have more antioxidants than light-colored foods because of their high pigment content," says Cy Lee, Ph.D., a professor of food chemistry at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York. Can't find one of these deep-hued superfoods at your local supermarket? Try natural-foods stores and ethnic groceries.
The Six Supper Blacks
1. Black Rice (Brown rice is good, but black rice is better)
2. Black Beans (Packed with anti-cancer bioflavonoids)
3. Black Lentils (Natural source of Iron. fiber, lower cholesterol)
4. Black soybeans ( Reduce the risk of blood clots and hart disease)
5. Blackberries (Anti-ageing Polyphenols and supper rich in fiber)
6. Black Tea (reduces muscle soreness after a good work out at the gym)
Note: The Tea Big Three: Green Tea (anti-cancer) White Tea (boost immune system) Black Tea (for muscle pain)
There's a feeling of inevitability in writing about McDonald's latest offering, their "bowl full of wholesome" -- also known as oatmeal. The leading fast-food multinational, with sales over $16.5 billion a year (just under the GDP of Afghanistan), represents a great deal of what is wrong with American food today. From a marketing perspective, they can do almost nothing wrong; from a nutritional perspective, they can do almost nothing right, as the oatmeal fiasco demonstrates.
You have to see this video. If you go to the Golden Arches of Death STOP, pls.
Heart Attack Grill spokesman dies
Blair River, the 575-pound spokesman for the Heart Attack Grill in Chander, Ariz., is dead, at the age of 29. The Heart Attack Grill earned itself some notoriety (including a report on CBS Sunday Morning) for being, as the USA Today's obituary puts it, "unabashedly unhealthy" -- the menu includes bypass hamburgers and flatliner flies.
S-510 will make it illegal to grow, share, trade or sell home grown food. I voted for the President and the Dems, but this bill is wrong and must be stopped. (Video)
It seems that the Democrats gave us Health Care Reform (Sick care) which we asked for on the one hand and now is going to prevent us from managing our own health on the other hand. MediPlex his infiltrated and United States senate, Specifically, criminal chemical corporations are trying to Sneak the worst anti-health bill in the history of America through the congress. WE MUST STOP THEM!
Let's Go to the Video Tape
S-510, The FDA Food Safety Modernization Act is really The Unsafe Food Mandatory act. That is criminal chemical corporation are trying to force Americans to get food only from them in supermarkets. Literally they are trying make Americans only eat Frankenstein food (Genetically modified food). They want to shove there GMO, pesticide, herbicide, fungicide ridden food down our throats.
The Three Most Dangerous Parts of S-510
1. Makes citizen grown food illegal
2. Puts Food and Farms under Home Land security.
3. Gives up American sovernty over food (Our food controlled by Criminal WTO)
4. Remove right of citizens to clean, store and thus own seed in the US.
Did you know there is also an attack on whole food (natural original food) and organic food? Watch this video of Police attacking Whole food providers in California with guns drawn ready to kill.
This Week the President gave marching orders to pass Health Reform this month. While the President is focused on Insurance company sick care reform, The first lady is focusing on real health care reform with her "Let's Move" challenge to our children. (pics/Video)
The First Lady is not just talking but moving with our children. Wow, now that sounds like a plan to me. A person who is fit and in outstanding health trying to help the nation get healthy. We know that we don't do "health" care in America, we do sick care. So the President's plan, however badly needed, is at best a sick care insurance reform bill. So it is good to see someone focusing on the future health of our citizens.
You would think that this would be on every front page in the country. What side is your elected official on, are they for or against the health of your children? How will that impact your vote and political action?
This is another one of those opportunities/tests for the Republicans. Not unlike the televised sick care debate, we the American people need to watch this on TV and give the two party's a pass or failing grade.
Can anyone list one bill or national infinitive, that the Republican party has launched in the last 10 years, to improve American health, that does not benefit insurance company's and MediPlex (Medical industrial complex) profits.
Please do not bother to list Anti-Vitamin McCain's current stop the healthy people from taking supplements bill.
What do you think, will Republicans start moving too?
Eating right on a budget can be a challenge, but it's certainly not impossible. Consider this your cheat sheet to the 5 inexpensive foods you should eat everyday for optimum health.
My physical health is important to me. So what I put in my mouth is important to me. To my shock, a member of my family demonstrated that the term organic and what it means to ones health is still new to many people. So I put this quick physical health reference.
Cultural Literacy and Physical Literacy (Food Literacy in this case) go hand in hand.
Organic is still confusing to most people. The way you "know" that a food you buy is organic is by the Green and White symbol that leads this article. Right now, the USDA symbol means, IMHO, that the producer is at least trying to appear healthier then their competition. If I have a choice between an Organic apple and a Frankenstein (GMO) Nerve gas (pesticide) apple, I choose organic. Organic apples can be 400% heather then a chemical apple.
I now shop at a store called Whole Food Market they are a National chain supermarket like Shop Wrong (Rite). They differ from the shop wrongs of the world in one important way, most of their food is organic. Most of the food in a shop wrong supermarket is chemical food. I did not even know this Grocery Store War was going on. See Video below
Join the war, vote organic when you are in a store
