Meditation is an important component of the TriEnergetics program. Do you meditate? If you do not we suggest that you begin a program of meditation.
There are many reasons to meditate. Regular meditation will calm your mind and help you to better handle the stress in your life, It will lower your blood pressure, reduce anxiety, enhance your immune system and help you sleep better.
There is another reason to meditate and this is a reason that is new to us. A recent publication from UCLA compared the brain scans of people who meditated with those who did not. it was discovered that those who meditated had a smaller reduction in brain grey matter than those who did not.
This suggests that meditation helps preserve the brain tissue that is involved in memory, decision-making and sensory perception. In other words it seems as though meditation helps prevent dementia. This information was not known when we wrote our book, but we were certainly ahead of our time. Our chapter on meditation has the subtitle "how to become healthier by sitting quietly and doing nothing."
We believe that here is no better way for you to spend time then by sitting quietly meditating.
You can learn some simple techniques from our book Trienergeetics.

Do You Really Need Gluten- Free Foods?
Gluten-free foods are really popular.. They are really expensive yet the demand for them is strong. In fact Americans spend about 4.2 billion dollars a year to be gluten-free.
Why?
This puzzles us because being gluten-free is not necessary for most people. Most of us are not sensitive to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye.
Certainly some people are extremely sensitive to gluten. In some cases eating gluten could actually kill. them. We are referring to the 1 per cent of the population who have celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder where ingestion of gluten causes damage to the small intestine.
There are also a small number of people who do not digest gluten well. There is no good scientific evidence that this is a real medical problem although there are a few clinical studies that imply changing the diet to gluten-free improved symptoms in these people. Yet this improvement has not been definitely shown to be more then a placebo effect.
So do you really need to be gluten-free. The answer for most of us in no.We just have to eat more real foods and we need to stop eating the starches and junk foods. Save the gluten-free for those who really need it, and at the same time save yourself some money.

Do You Still Smoke?
Do you still smoke. Think about this.
Cigarette smoking still causes about three in ten cancer deaths in the U.S.
Even though smoking rates have dropped by about 50% since 1965, more than 160,000 people die each year from smoking related cancer!
Besides lung cancer cigarettes cause cancers of the mouth, nose, larynx and esophagus. It is also implicated in cancer of the stomach, pancreas, liver, kidneys, bladder, cervix, colon and rectum.
These figures do not include cancer deaths from second hand smoke or from cigars,pipes and smokeless tobacco. Also remember that smoking causes more deaths from cardiovascular disease than from cancer.

To All Readers Of This Blog A Notice From Google

An update on Google Friend Connect
Posted: December 21, 2015
In 2011, we announced the retirement of Google Friend Connect for all non-Blogger sites. We made an exception for Blogger to give readers an easy way to follow blogs using a variety of accounts. Yet over time, we’ve seen that most people sign into Friend Connect with a Google Account. So, in an effort to streamline, in the next few weeks we’ll be making some changes that will eventually require readers to have a Google Account to sign into Friend Connect and follow blogs.
As part of this plan, starting the week of January 11, we’ll remove the ability for people with Twitter, Yahoo, Orkut or other OpenId providers to sign in to Google Friend Connect and follow blogs. At the same time, we’ll remove non-Google Account profiles so you may see a decrease in your blog follower count.
We encourage you to tell affected readers (perhaps via a blog post), that if they use a non-Google Account to follow your blog, they need to sign up for a Google Account, and re-follow your blog. With a Google Account, they’ll get blogs added to their Reading List, making it easier for them to see the latest posts and activity of the blogs they follow.
We know how important followers are to all bloggers, but we believe this change will improve the experience for both you and your readers.

Can You Lower Your Risk For A Heart Attck By Cutting Down On Saturated Fat?
Can you reduce your risk of having a heart attack by eating less saturated fats. The answer turns out to be yes, but only if you replace the saturated fats with unsaturated fats or foods with whole grains.
A large study published in a prestigious medical journal reported that if you cut down on saturated fats and replace the calories with low quality carbs and added sugars you will not reduce your risk of having a heart attack.
If you replace the foods that are high in saturated fats with those rich in polyunsaturated fats you will reduce your risk. Examples of heart healthy foods are nuts, seeds, and many vegetable oils. Do not forget toods rich in monounsaturated fats. Examples are olive oil and avocados.
If you would like more information on healthy eating refer to our book Live Longer Live Healthier.

What Is The Current Recommendation On Blood Pressure Control?
A new National Health Study of 9,361 adults age 50 or older concluded that current blood pressure standards are too high. Existing standards call for a systolic blood pressure of 140 or lower.
The patients in this study were randomly assigned to receive standard hypertension treatment or more aggressive treatment in order to lower systolic blood pressure to 120 or below. During the three year course of this study those who were treated more aggressively had a 25% lower incidence of heart attacks and the death rate dropped by 43%.
Most of us grew up in a time period when lowering systolic blood pressure to under 140 was a therapeutic success. Now we need to consider that the pressure should be even lower.This may prove to be very difficult for many people, and the side effects of the medications needed to reach this goal may be severe.
Anyway the new message is that lower blood pressure is better. What is your blood pressure? If it is a bit higher you. should discuss the advice from this study with your doctor.
If you would like to try natural techniques to lower your blood pressure read our book Live Longer Live Healthier.

Why Elephants Do Not Get Cancer
It is a fact that it is becoming harder and harder to get funding for medical research. With that in mind there may have been times when you wondered, for example, why are they spending scarce money studying the genetics of elephants. Here is an answer.
New research shows that elephants rarely get cancer. It seems that only about 4.8% of elephants die from cancer compared to about 25% of humans. You may say "so what" but the reason for this disparity may help save human lives.
It turns out that the genome of the African elephant is different than that of humans. Elephants have 20 pairs of a TP53 gene that produces a tumor suppressing protein. This protein prevents cells from dividing in an uncontrolled way. Humans have just one pair of this important gene, and humans have a much higher incidence of cancer.
A little finding like this may lead to the development of new and previously unknown treatments for many human cancers and by so doing save many many lives.
