I’ve recently become involved with a new company with an exciting new product. It’s called Moxxor and it is a powerful omega 3 oil combined with antioxidants from grapes.
The supplement comes from New Zealand and the omega 3 oils come from green-lipped mussels. One gelcap of Moxxor is equal to 248 capsules of salmon oil. It has high concentrations of Omega 3 oils and it is extracted carefully to get the full benefits into the product. It also includes, in one very small gelcap, a powerful antioxidant made from grapes grown in pristine New Zealand.
There is much more to this, including an opportunity to become a distributor. This is a brand new product (with more in the pipeline) and this is an opportunity to get in early with a great product, no fillers at all, and a chance to have a safety net for you and your family. If you are interested in this, please contact me through the website, or if you want to go for it, you can click the Enroll Now link on the website.
The website (mymoxxor.com/realhealth) is also the place to go to place an order. Give it a try, I think you’ll like it. It’s done great things for my bad knees and ankles and I’ve only been using it about 3 weeks.

Real health, as I’ve posted about before, is about health that comes naturally, through eating healthy foods, working out, watching what you buy and how you fuel your body. It’s avoiding prescription drugs and food additives that harm your body.
This year has been a good one. I personally have continued learning more and more about how to lose bodyfat, how to get fit, and what to eat for health. The mainstream press is reporting more and more about health issues, particularly the obesity epidemic and its causes.
For 2007, resolve this:
No trans fats, hydrogenated anything, no MSG or autolyzed or hydrolyzed protein of any sort. No aspartame, or splenda or any other chemical sweetener.
Eat more vegetables, especially broccoli and kale and tomatoes. Make fresh food from local, organic ingredients. Eat smaller, more frequent meals, with high quality, low fat protein at each meal. Skinless chicken breast, salmon, tuna, turkey breast, beef bottom roast, and egg whites should be a mainstay in your house.
My personal new favorite is an oldie. Fat free cottage cheese, mixed with peaches in juice. Perfection!
Workout at least 3-4 times a week, preferably more. Make it a priority in your life. This year I have worked out an average of 4 times a week. Next year I am shooting for 5 times a week. Lift weights to build muscle, which burns more calories. Do high intensity cardio for shorter workouts and greater effect on calorie burning for the rest of the day.
You can do it. I have been and will continue to do so. Eat healthy and clean 90% of the time and you will lose weight, exercise and make sure that the weight you lose is body fat and not precious muscle.
Have a great 2007!

There are so many foods that parents buy and kids regularly eat, that seem to be good for you. I’ll be posting a series of foods that parents need to pay attention to and just by buying something different, you will help improve the health of your children.
First is peanut butter. I did a little research online. The two biggest sellers in peanut butter are Skippy and Jif. Surprisingly, you can’t get any ingredients list from the Skippy web site. They do offer a natural version (Skippy Natural Creamy). It advertises that you don’t have to stir it. It does this by adding palm oil to the peanut butter. Palm oil is a source of added fat and unnecesary saturated fats. All so you don’t have to stir it. The actual ingredients list is peanuts, sugar, palm oil and salt.
Jif does have listings of ingredients on it’s website. The standard Jif Creamy has:
MADE FROM ROASTED PEANUTS AND SUGAR. CONTAINS 2 PERCENT OR LESS OF: MOLASSES, PARTIALLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OIL (SOYBEAN), FULLY HYDROGENATED VEGETABLE OILS (RAPESEED AND SOYBEAN), MONO- AND DIGLYCERIDES AND SALT.
I have a jar of Trader Joe’s Natural Creamy Peanut Butter. Ingredients: Roasted peanuts. This is the unsalted version.
You should always buy natural peanut butter for your kids. Yes, you need to stir it, because oils collect on the top. But, my experience has been that you need to stir it throughly once. After it’s open, store natural peanut butter in the refrigerator, and I’ve never had to stir it again. You get the real peanut taste. Peanut butters like Jif and Skippy taste like sugar with a little peanut taste.
Natural peanut butter is good for you. There is nothing added and the fats in peanut butter are healthy ones. Of course, you need to not overeat nuts of any sort. But you don’t need sugar, molasses, and added oils in your peanut butter. The fact that the oils added are partially and fully hydrogenated means that they have trans fats and are very bad for your health, particularly heart health.
So, one easy way to make your child’s diet healthier, is to buy peanut butter with one ingredient (roasted peanuts) or maybe two (if you like salted peanut butter). Skip the Skippy and the Jif. Read the labels and see what it is you are buying.

I’ve come across a free ebook that you must get and read. It’s available at jonbarron.org, in pdf format. It is called Lessons from the Miracle Doctors. Not the best name, but the best book I’ve read on health and nutrition in a long while.
It covers how to get healthy, in detail. It covers many subjects from colon health to avoiding cancer to what supplements you need to take daily and even at every meal. He writes very well, clear and understandable avoiding technical and medical terms.
For example, I’ve read in several places that drinking colas leeches calcium from your bones, causing brittle bones. Jon explains exactly how that works, but in an easily understandable fashion.
I’ve changed my schedule, diet and supplementation since I read this book and I’m already seeing results. I’ve actually written up a schedule using Jon’s ideas and combining it with information from Dr Elson Haas’ book, A Cookbook for All Seasons: A Healthy Eating Plan for Life
So, what are you waiting for? If you want to find out how to improve your health, go download this book!

People are starting to realize that it is not smart to drug yourself with the toxic prescriptions of conventional medicine. This article at Newstarget talks about how more people are turning to forms of alternative medicine, where they actually get results and get healthier, not sicker.
You only get real health by taking charge of your own life and health. Get rid of those toxic, cancer-influencing chemicals in your food, your personal care items and your life. You’ll feel better, lighter, and sleep easy knowing you aren’t poisoning your family and yourself.
