Vaikea akne saattaa altistaa itsemurhalle

Lapsille turvallista, mutta ei sikiölle.

Kummallista tämä lasten hoitaminen. Vaikeaa aknea hoidetaan lääkkeelä, jonka tiedetään vahigoittavan sikiötä.

Oireita vai syy.
Eihän se oireiden paikkaaminen paljoa auta, kun kysymyksessä on ruuansulatuksen häiriö.

"Koska Roaccutanin käyttöön liittyy sikiöepämuodostumien vaara (vahingoittaa syntymätöntä lasta), sitä voidaan määrätä ainoastaan tarkkojen ohjeiden mukaan naisille, jotka voivat tulla raskaaksi:"

KOLUMNI: Rikkaruoho, jota aikuinen mies pelkää

Onkohan tässä ensimmäinen Montsanton selättäjä??
Ihan totta. Amerikkalaiset viljelijät olivat enemmän kuin tyytyväisiä Monsanton GMO siemeniin viidentoista vuoden ajan. Sitten Amarantus Palmeri eli palmerin amarantti suostunutkaan tottelemaan Roundup rikkaruohomyrkkyä - ei vaikka sitä levitettiin ihan mahdottomia määriä.

Hah hah haa Monsanto:
Vitsi on siinä, että samainen amarantti on Wikipedian mukaa:

Rassirevonhäntä (Amaranthus palmeri) on aikaisemmin ollut ruokakasvi, mutta nykyisin se on rikkakasvi. Siitä on muodostunut Monsanton Roundupia eli glyfosaattia kestäviä kantoja.^[1]

Marianna, Forrest City (Arkansas, the United States) Special correspondent Ken Smith, professor d' agronomy with l' university of l' Arkansas, had defendant: " You will see. What impresses in our agriculture, c' is its dimension and its intensité." Indeed, in Mid-South American, l' agriculture resembles an industry. All is disproportionate: fields cut with the chalk line; machines for to sow, collect, épandre pesticides; swirls of dust who go up to the sky, raised by cueilleuses cotton mechanics and record players of the farmers.

But, for some time, the most modern farmers of the world must return to tools d' another age, the hoe and the shovel, for to dislodge the bad grass which invades their fields. L' amaranth of Micrometer caliper is called pigweed (l' bleaches on grass with pig), inter alia terms if coarse that the farmers n' do not dare to repeat them. This n' is not one small insane grass but " a monstre" , known as Claude Kennedy, director of the experimental agricultural station of the borough of Marianna: " It is of more in more aggressive and takes forms so strange that sometimes it makes me almost peur." The plant can push of 5 centimetres per day and to reach more than 2 meters in height. With its branches whirling, she points out the tortured trees which populate them films of the Master of fantastic, Tim Burton. It happens that its roots the reaping-machines break.

It is the nondesired kid d' a marriage which was a long time without clouds between the American farmers and seeds GMO Roundup Ready, technology headlight of Monsanto. The principle: a gene of tolerance with l' total weedkiller Roundup is introduced into a plant cultivated. When the product is épandu, all bad grasses die, while l' GMO survives.

Farmers of l' Arkansas speak about l' age d' however of this system with stars in the eyes. " These seeds arrived in 1996, remembers Sid Fogg, farmer of cotton and soya. C' was formidable. One sowed, one passed twice from Roundup and one had the fields them cleaner, prettiest qu' vus." is never had;

In the United States, 58% of cotton, 66% of corn and 93% of soya are Roundup Ready. Majority of the GMO cultivated in the world also, and it glyphosate, contained in Roundup, is the molecule weedkiller more used on ground. In l' Arkansas, the landscape was upset. ploughing - a means of fighting against bad grasses - was given up. Ten d' weedkillers which divided the market were swept. Each one could cultivate more. The exploitations increased, the farmers nouveau riches. " All was easy, too facile" , leaves to fall l' farmer Bill Wilkie.

This blessed time is completed. " Natural mother n' in made qu' with its tête" , summarize Sid Fogg. At the end of fifteen years d' intensive use and exclusive of glyphosate, ten bad grasses, present at l' origin in modest quantities, became resistant to the product. Of which Amaranthus palmeri. " The mechanism of the natural selection played, explain Ken Smith. In the initial population, certain individuals were naturally resistant, they are multipliés."

Some 6 d' million; hectares are touched in twenty-two States American, according to the last estimates, is a little less than 10% surfaces GMO of the country. The south-east of the United States, heart of production of cotton and soya, is most concerned. But grasses undesirable gain ground constantly. " Everywhere where there is use exclusive of the glyphosate, the problem will arise early or tard" , affirms Claude Kennedy. Resistances were already observed in one about fifteen country, of which China, l' Argentina, Brazil, or Canada.

" New varieties of seeds Roundup Ready continue d' to arrive on the market, like l' alfalfa or the beet sugar, raises David Mortensen, specialist in adventitious with l' university of Pennsylvania. That will exacerbate the problème." Burning defender of the glyphosate, qu' it compare with penicillin in medicine, l' Australian academic Stephen Powles sees in its loss d' " effectiveness; a threat for the production food mondiale".

In l' Arkansas, l' explosion took place this year. The farmers have summer taken by surprise. " One thought that could arrive, but not as much, also vite" , West Higgins testifies in front of l' one of its fields, where its soya was literally choked. In the restaurants where farmers find themselves for breakfast before l' paddle, them pigweeds became the subject number one of conversation. " Reflex camera, Treflex, Dual, Valor… " : sat at table at Cleo, in Marianna, Rusty Casing and Chad Russel, two producers of soya and cotton, enumerate them products qu' they try d' to apply. " old woman chimie" , they say. Treflan, which appears in good place in the Museum of the cotton of Memphis, dates from 1964.

Certain molecules make l' d' object; a monitoring of l' Arranges American for the protection of l' environment (EPA) because of risks for l' water. The dicamba, used for " brûler" the bad ones grass in spring, is particularly aggressive. C' is a derivative of 2,4-D, a component of l' orange agent, defoliant used during war of Vietnam. On the whole, the treatments were at least multiplied by three. " But nothing n' in really comes to bout" , observes Rusty Casing.

Then, this summer, an army of days laborer weeded with the hoe the fields of cotton in all the south-east of the United States, of never-considering since years 1960. " The field is clean during two or three weeks, then they reviennent" , notes, bitter, Chad Russel. Each female contains 250.000 seeds. " I fear that is not of worse into worse, Bill breath Wilkie. I do not know where one va."

" Sometimes, I think of my father, is afflicted Sid Fogg. S' he saw all these bad grasses, it would say to me, my son, qu' do you make? " Especially, all that costs very much. On average, 30 dollars additional by half-hectare to produce soya, 70 for cotton. The outputs are in fall of 20% to 30%. " This business cost million, affirms Ken Smith. Some could not hold l' year prochaine."

Colby McChesney, 26 years, n' " has; not l' intention to change métier". " I completely drop Roundup Ready, lance this young man, all by traversing in waterspout its 1.500 hectares. Some s' hang to l' hope that will better be, me I think that, if one wants to repair it system, it is necessary all to change. If not, one is likely to lose the contrôle." L' next year, it will sow cotton and soya LibertyLink, a GMO of Bayer. He functions with a different weedkiller, relatively effective on Amaranthus palmeri. The young farmer will test also seeds conventional " for voir".

Much d' farmers think of it, unwillingly, like a regression. Sid Fogg tried l' experiment on some pieces. Like any seed-bearer does not sell any more conventional varieties, c' is l' university of l' Arkansas which has founi to him seeds. " I do not see why I would continue to pay the seeds Monsanto three times the price of conventional, whereas I will spend in both cases of l' money in herbicides" , he explains. The problem, c' is qu' it n' there will not have enough LibertyLink seeds and conventional for all it world l' next year. Chuck Yates, the merchant of agricultural produce of Marianna, estimates that 75% of the request only will be honoured.

Monsanto recognizes that the problem is " sérieux". " We thought of departure that l' emergence of resistances would be difficult, affirms Rick Stick, charged with the file. We must now recognize that d' others products must be used with Roundup for the maîtriser." L' company is found forced to make promotion d' weedkillers sold by competitors. It refunds even 12 dollars by half-hectare with the cotton producers who have recourse there. But, according to it, Roundup " always valeur" has;. " There remains effective on 300 perhaps bad grasses, the farmers have tendency to l' to forget, Rick Cole continues. And outputs of the varieties Roundup Ready will remain compétitifs."

Monsanto prepares already the blow d' afterwards. The seed-bearer one announces for 2014 one soya resistant to the dicamba and the glyphosate. And, two years later, one cotton resistant to three different weedkillers. Its competitors are also on the rows. " That which will arrive the first will gain much d' money! " , s' amuse Rusty Carter.

The anti-GMO denounce the not held promises of Monsanto, which has praised the savings in pesticides a long time realized with the varieties Roundup Ready. " C' was true at the beginning, but not on length terme" , confirm Colby McChesney. But, in spite of their disappointments, them farmers of l' Arkansas did not become hostile with the plants transgenic. Colby McChesney does not include/understand anything with the debate which agitates l' Europe: " That made ten years that I crunch soya beans and I am into perfect santé." None regrets either d' to have adopted these seeds. " On the blow, c' was really a good deal, summarizes Bill Wilkie. Now qu' is needed; us are found other chose."

In do they want in Monsanto? Not only. " All that is d' access of our fault, one n' did not reflect, and one used too a long time only one produit" , Sid Fogg affirms. " C' was like a drogue" , Bill increases Wilkie. D' others are more accusing. " If these seeds had been promoted correctly, one n' in would not be there, underlines Joe Whittenton, one large cotton producer. Me, j' always continued to use d' other weedkillers by fear of resistances. People of Monsanto came at home and said to me: " Drop, you n' ace not need for all that! " They n' did not look at rather far in the futur."

Losing 30kg with Ayurveda & No Dieting

Siis ei mitään dieettiä

* Syö vain tuoretta ruokaa joka aterialla.
Kun syömme kerran lämmitettyä tai muuten käsiteltyä ruokaa, sen jotkut (tai kaikki) energiaa antavat, ravitsevat ja parantavat ominaisuudet ovat kadonneet.

* Syö aamiainen.
Aamiaisen tarkoitus ei ole herättää koko ruuansulatusta. Se on siis selvästi lounasta kevyempi juttu.

* Lounas on päivän pääateria.
Syö lounas keskellä päivää. Ja aina sämaam aikaan.

* Käy aamulenkillä joka päivä.
Tämä on makee juttu. jokainen tietää, miten raikasta ulkon on aikaisin aamulla.

* Mene nukkumaan, kun olet väsynyt.
Joka tapauksessa mene nukkumaan ennen kello 22.

* Nouse aikaisin ylös.
Aikainen nukkumaanmeno mahdollistaa tämän. Siis ykös ennen kello kuutta - ilman herätyskelloa :)

Vatsan pitää myös saada levätä aterioiden välillä. siis - ei välipaloja.

My Story: Losing 30kg with Ayurveda & Without Dieting

By Matalin Hatchard • In Weight Balance Recipes Seasonal Tips Archive • Tagged weight loss weight balance recipe

A few years ago now, almost 3 actually, I was ready for a change. Working in a high-pressure sales environment, with long hours, irregular meals, and sporadic exercise, I had packed on a lot more weight than I ever had before. It didn't happen all at once, it just crept up on me, till I was 105kg and not so happy about my silhouette in the mirror or an excursion to the beach.

It was time for a change - everything hit at once - my relationship ended, I quit my job to pursue a more socially fulfilling path (Maharishi Ayurveda Products), and I moved back to the UK to live there for the first time since I was a kid.

Out of all this, without dieting and without really driving towards a weight-loss goal I lost 30kg, re-found my happiness and re-gained my energy, all through simple Ayurvedic principles.

The simple things I did:

• Ate fresh cooked food every meal
• Ate breakfast
• Had my main meal at lunch
• Exercised every day (walking counts)
• Went to sleep when I felt tired
• Woke up early

1: Eating fresh food

Ayurveda recognises that "we are what we eat". Our bodies are constantly replacing cells, generating new muscles, and essentially renewing from the inside all the time. The building blocks it uses to do this are the foods we eat. The texts that describe Ayurveda explain that our fresh foods contain intelligence, and what we are really imbibing is natures infinite organising intelligence in every morsel.

When we have re-heated, canned and non-fresh food, some (or all) of the engergising, nourishing and healing property of the food is lost. This can lead to the body creating Ama, or toxins in our system instead of life-promoting "Ojas". This accumulation of Ama can lead to dullness, tiredness, reduced immune functioning, and due to the combination of these can leave us feeling "down".

In my sales role I would have a lot of takeaway foods, quick and easy when I could grab it, often on the run. Cutting this habit out was easier than I imagined. How?

I bought only a weeks worth of groceries at a time, and including a decent supply of fresh vegetables. We think cooking is time consuming, but there are so many dishes that take only moments, I got good at preparing a meal in 10mins or less, leaving more time to sit and enjoy eating it!

Recipe - (my favourite meal):

1: Preparation

• Chop 2-3 vegetables that I liked (for me: mushrooms, green beans, broccoli, carrots, courgettes(zuccihni), spring onion, sprouts, pumpkin)
• Cut small slices of a protein (half a chicken breast, or equivalent tofu strips)
• Get a wok. (tall sides mean it can handle heaps of different kinds of dishes)
• Have noodles or rice on standby.

2: Cook

• Boil some water, if you're having rice put it in a pot with twice as much water as rice. Half a cup of rice is plenty for one. Put a lid on and turn the heat low. Noodles come later if they're your fancy.
• Pour a small amount of oil in the wok/pan, toss the chicken/tofu in.
• Cook a few minutes, adding salt, pepper, soy sauce, garlic, onion, or your favourite spices to taste. Tasting while cooking means you're sure to enjoy when you eat, cause you won't miss any key touches..
• Throw in your chosen veges, mix up with your protein. Keep folding together for a couple of minutes.
• Add some boiling water, just a little, and put a lid on. This keeps it moist and keeps the flavours in, whilst steam-cooking the vege. Taste and add more spices to your preference.
• Throw noodles in boiling water (if you're not having rice).
• 2 mins later, drain the noodles and stir through the vege.

3: Enjoy

• It's ready to eat. (rice will be ready around this time too).
• 10-15mins total. Even less if you pre-chopped your vege in the morning.

Before anyone tells me off for including chicken or garlic or onions in any article on Ayurveda, I would remind people that enjoying your food is an important part of a sattvic, nourishing Ayurvedic meal, and we have a broad spectrum of individual likes and dislikes when it comes to food. Use what is comfortable to you.

Having the main meal at lunch was really important, it's when our digestive fire is strongest, best able to gain nourishment from our food, and better able to deal with potentially heavier foods than at night when our body is getting ready to shut down sleep. This means that it is processed more efficiently and less waste to potentially turn into excess weight. Having a lighter meal in the evenings allows us to sleep better and again produces less "ama" for the system to deal with.

2: Exercising

I made it a point to walk where I could, and generally aim for at least 30mins of exercise every day. I started out with small things such as walking to a local store for shopping, parking in the far corner of a car park to squeeze in those extra moments.

The biggest point was going for a walk in the morning. I would wake up early, and go for a long, brisk walk, for about 30mins. Sometimes more, sometimes less, but aimed for at least 30mins. I would then come home, hungry for breakfast, have some sort of cereal or eggs and toast, meditate, then start work.

Why was this important?

Ayurveda tells us that different times of day have different qualities, just as seasons differ, and people differ. Early morning is Kapha time, and the best time for the physiology to be exercising.

Performing activity early in the morning:

1. Kick-starts the bodies metabolism, and continues to burn more calories all day.
2. Gets you hungry for breakfast
3. Gives you more energy throughout the day
4. Is a natural detoxing aid - assists with clearing toxins from the system.
5. Gets rid of that sluggish feeling, and boosts our feeling of self-worth, that I found was a key to more smiles for the rest of the day.

I started out walking, and after about a month of that I progressed to running, something I had never done outside of sport.

Some alternatives to running:

• Swimming - cheap/often subsidised by your local council. Swimming is also easier on the knees than running, and works the whole body.
• Yoga - plenty of yoga centres all over, and a great full-body exercise. Perfect for any body size and shape.
• Sport - social and fun, you can often forget your exercising.
• Keep with the walking, and keep it brisk. Plan out some areas around you that you'd like to explore, and use the exercise as an opportunity to enjoy your environment.
• Steal spare moments - 3x10 minute blocks will add to 30 mins of exercise. - stand up from the desk and walk up and down some stairs, go for a walk on your break instead of sitting and chatting.
• If you're at home, look around you for little opportunities to "steal" some burnt calories - as silly as it sounds there are weights and ways to use our everyday objects, lift the iron, up and down, do some star jumps twice a day, set a walking alarm to remind you to get up and move (vacuuming counts!).

A great motivator is a pedometer, a tiny device you can clip onto your clothes/wrist that will show you how many steps you make in a day. Now you have a target to beat! For tech-minded people an ipod, iphone and many smartphones have lots of motivating apps, take a look online..

A few Months in.

So I was eating healthy, now running regularly and feeling a lot better! I wasn't thinking about my weight, or even weighing myself at all, I was just doing these things because I knew a change was needed. Neither was I dieting - just trying to have fresh food three times a day, and stopping when I was full, even if this sometimes left food on the plate.

I really started to pay attention to the signals my body sent me, and as a bonus the more I looked after myself, the clearer these signals became - eating when hungry, stopping when full, sleeping when tired, waking without an alarm. I was happier, had more energy, rediscovered my appetite, and generally on the up.

Three months after starting these changes I came across a scale in a friends bathroom, and hopped on. I was 85kg.

Thats 20kg lighter than three months ago.

20kg was the size of my bag with all my earthly possessions that I took with me to the UK, and now I'd shed that much weight, almost without thinking about it. This was amazing. I knew I felt lighter, but in the same way that I'd gained all the weight without really realising, I lost it all.

A helping hand - Maharishi Ayurveda herbals

I'd been taking two herbal products through all this - Digest Tone, because I knew something needed to be sorted out in this area, and Be-Trim tablets, to help balance this larger appetite I'd developed. Be-Trim also boosted my metabolism and helped out with the way my body handled the fats it was given.

Over the next three months I continued my eating and exercise habits, but took only the Digest Tone, the Be-Trim had accomplished it's job of giving me a kick-start, and now my digestion and metabolism were back in order, I didn't need the extra boost. I kept on with Digest Tone because it has amazing properties for maintaining overall bowel health and nourishing the whole digestive tract, & I figured that's a good thing to stick with!

Within the next 2 months I dropped another 10kg, getting to the lightest I've been since I was 16 - 75kg (I'm six foot one, so for me this is skinny!).

• 30KG gone - Check
• Happy - Check
• Healthy - Check
• Dieting - Nope

The Side Benefits Without the Side-effects

The biggest factors in weight gain can often be our environment, such as stress, and lack of sleep. When we focus on nourishing ourselves we may find these get balanced. The more I exercised, the happier I felt, the more tired I was in the evening, and more ready to sleep. Waking early and exercising gave me more energy and made me more productive during the day, and having that additional energy gave me an increased ability to roll with stress and strain of modern-day working life.

I'm happy, healthy, active and listening to my body as much as I can, and I wish everyone the joy that comes from understanding your body with Ayurveda's rich perspective.

Ruuan hävikki huolettaa hallituksen selonteossa

Huono ruoka.
Ei ongelma suonkaan ole roskikseen menevä ruuan määrä.
Ongelma on ruuan laatu. Miten ruoka voi olla terveellistä, kun ihmiset ovat pahasti sairastuneita jo kolmekymmppisinä?

Kemikaaleja vai ruokaa.
Paljon suurempi tuhlaus on koko kemikalisoitunut ruokateollisuus. Sellainen toiminta ei taida olla edes kansantaloudenkaan kannalta hyödyllistä.

Suomenmaa - Uutiset

Urheilu

Fysikalisoituminen
Urheilu on teknistynyt tai paremmin sanottuna valmennus perustuu liikaa erilaisiin laitteisiin. Osaaminen tai suorituskyky mitataan jollain laitteella ja kuntosalitkin ovat melko staattisia. Saahan niillä tietenkin jotain aikaan. Miettikää vähän sitä ihanaa hurmosta, mitä vanhan kansan äijät kokivat seistessään täyttä laukkaa viilettävän hevosen kärryillä. Miettikää – miten ihanan joustavaa heidän käyntinsä oli. Ei lapiohommat valmennuksellisessa mielessä ole mitenkään yksipuolista – raittiista ilmasta tai halkojen mättämisestä puhumattakaan.

Henkinen valmennus
Urheilusta on urheilu kadonnut ainakin valmentajien ja johtajien päästä. Urheilijoiden terveyskäsite ulottuu vain suoritukseen, mutta ei siihen, että elimistö olisi terve. Henkinen valmennus on ihan lapsellista. Siitä saatiin hyvä esimerkki viime talven olympialaisista. Ei Virpi Kuitusen heikko esitys ollut sattuma. Samat henkisen valmennuksen mokat valuivat vahingossa tai tarkoituksella koko joukkueeseen. Yritysmaailmassa valmennuksessa voidaan puhua mitä tahansa puuta heinää, mutta samoja ns. totuuksia on mahdoton tunkea urheilijaan. Yritysmaailmassa nuo jutut voivat tuntua mukavilta ja kaverimaisilta, mutta ei niillä voida vaikuttaa urheilijan suoritukseen muuten kuin heikentävästi. Suorituksen heikentyminen tulee lisääntyneestä jännityksestä ja muusta stressistä.

Rentous
Suomen jääkiekkomaajoukkueen päävalmentaja Jukka Jalonen valitteli viime talvena, ettei rentoutta voi ostaa kaupan hyllyltä. Ei tietenkään, jos hyllyjä katsoo laput silmillä. Toisin sanoen katsoo vain niitä hyllyjä, joita on jo aikaisemminkin katsottu.
Pitkän (45 v.) linjan joogina väitän, että rentoutuminen voi olla pysyvä ilmiö ihmisen kehossa. Se on se ihmisen luonnollinen olotila.

Kun lopetan
Mihin muuhun kuin nykyiseen urheilijat voivat yltääkään, kun jokaisen aivoissa takoo tärkeimpänä ajatuksena, että sitten kun lopetan ... sitten pääsen juomaan oikein kunnolla ja tuhoamaan elimistöni. Urheilun ihanne pitää palauttaa.

Valmennus
Katsokaa miten ähiseviä ja ahdistuneita nykyiset valmentajat ovat. Ei sellaiset tyypit voi antaa muille virtaa. Katsokaa Jani Rantasta tai Jan Zeleznyä. Ne äijät ei pahemmin ähise. Taitaa Zelezny vielä laulaa muut Barcelonan keihäänheittäjät suohon paitsi mitalimiehet.
Katsokaa venäläisiä huippu-urheilijoita. Eivät he saavuta huipputuloksia suurella lihasmassalla. Ei kuulantyöntäjien ja moukarinheittäjien vartalossa olevat kymmenet rasvakilot paranna tulosta senttiäkään.

Kasvisruoka
Mistä sellainen uskomus tulee, että lihaa on pakko syödä? Jokainenhan sen tajuaa, että eläintä tapettaessa se kohtaa suurimman mahdollisen pelon – tapetuksi tulemisen pelon. Tuo pelko menee silmänräpäyksessä tapettavan eläimen jokaiseen soluun. Sieltä se siirtyy niin sanottuna ravintona syöjäänsä.

Kemikaaliuskonto
Usko kemikaalien kaikkivoipaisuuteen on juurtunut syvälle. Se on kuitenkin ehkä suurin syy lihas- ja jännevaivoihin. Kaikista suuhun laitetusta kemikaaleista osa jää elimistöön myrkyllisessä mielessä. Se on myrkyllistä, vaikka ei täytäkään myrkytyksen virallista määritettä. Se on myrkyllistä, vaikka niiden sanotaan olevan turvallisia. Ne kerääntyvät lihaksiin, jänteisiin ja kaikkialle. Siitä tulee jänteiden katkeamiset, lihaskrampit ja venähdykset.

Pakasteet
Kemikaalien kanssa vastaavia ovat pakasteet. Pakastaminen pilkkoo solujen rakenteita. Pilkkoutuneet proteiiniketjut jäävät osittain elimistöön samalla seurauksella kuin kemikaalit.

Einekset
Einekset ovat kuollutta ravintoa ja rasittavat ruuansulatusta tarpeettomasti. Ne on kerran valmistettu ja jäähdytetty. Jokainenhan sen tietää, että miten paljon paremman makuista juuri raaka-aineista valmistettu ruoka on.

Maito
Maito ei ole ruokajuoma. Jokainen tuntee vanhan totuuden, jonka mukaan maito ottaa herkästi muita makuja itseensä – jopa jääkapissa. Siinä piilee suuri viisaus. Viisaus siinä mielessä, että maitoa ei pitäisi juoda minkään muun maun kanssa kuin makean. Makea on maidon oma maku.

Aterialla nautittu maito muuttuu elimistössä kuona-aineeksi, joka kerääntyy verisuonten seinämiin. Se muuttuu kuona-aineeksi muiden kuin makeiden makujen vuoksi.

Juokaa maitonne erillään ja keittäkää sitä ensin pari minuuttia. Sulamisen parantamiseksi siihen on hyvä lisätä hiukan kardemummaa, kanelia ja fenkolia. Pieni ripaus kurkumaa ei myöskään ole pahitteeksi.

Vesi
Juokaa vettä. Juokaa nimen omaan puhdasta vettä. Keittäkää se aamulla ja laittakaa termokseen. Hörppikää sitä vähän kerrallaan pitkin päivää. Juokaa vettä myös aterian yhteydessä pieniä siemauksina.

Kahvi ja energiajuomat
Kahvin juonti ei todellakaan virkistä. Ei myöskään energiajuomat eivätkä energiapatukat. Heinäkuussa tuli julkisuuteen tutkimus, jonka mukaan kahvi ei piristä. Sen nauttiminen kuitenkin poistaa vieroitusoireet. Tuota ilmiötä on vuosikymmenet kutsuttu piristämiseksi. Sillä lailla.

Päiväunet
Päiväunet vahingoittaa koko kehoa. Päiväunet ei todellakaan ole levon ja toiminnan vuorottelua eikä mitenkään niiden tasapainottamista. Ne tekevät laiskan ja velton olon.
Päiväunia ei pidä sekoittaa ruokalepoon eli karjalaisten ettosiin. Ruokalepohan tarkoittaa lepäämistä kylkikanavointiasennossa. Sen tarkoitus on ruuansulatuksen edistäminen. Se ei siis ole nukkumista.

Nukkuminen
Huippu-urheilijat ilmaisevat usein tehneensä parhaansa. Se on totta. Jaksaminen olisi kuitenkin ihan toista luokaa, jos nousee ylös aikaisin aamulla. Vanhaa kansaa pidetään terveenä osittain sen vuoksi, että he nousivat ylös varhain – siis ennen kello kuutta. Uni on ravitsevinta kello 22 – 24. Siis nukkumaan ennen kello kymmentä – joka äijä ja mimmi.

Melu
Laput korvilla on muotijuttu. Korvalappustereoista tulevan musiikin uskotaan auttavan keskittymisessä ja ties missä. Sillä jumputuksella ja monella muulla melodialla on kuitenkin päin vastainen vaikutus.

Mustat vaatteet
Urheilukilpailut ovat synkkiä tapahtumia. 'Kaikilla' on yllään mustaa. Mihin mustalla kuvitellaan päästävän? Ei se ainakaan paranna suoritusta. Ei piristä. Ei tee iloiseksi.

Musta on eristävä väri. Se eristää urheilijan yleisöstä. Se on melkoinen ristiriita. Kun jatkuvasti on mustat vaatteet päällä ja sitten kentällä onkin jotain muuta, niin seuraus on tunnemaailmasta tuleva paniikki. Iholla oleva musta vaate vahingoittaa tunnemaailman reseptoreita.
Toisaalta jatkuva mustiin pukeutuminen saa tunnemaailman käymään melkoisilla ylikierroksilla. Ulospäin se näyttäytyy ahdistuksen kaltaisina ilmiöinä.
