Good News: Researchers are Nuts

More on FTO -- and this one really deserve the "why on earth did some university grant this guy a PhD?" award.

The headline read:

"Fat-Gene Can Be Conquered IF You Exercise 3-4 Hour Per Day!"

I won't even bore you with the details of this ridiculous study, but suffice to say they went so far as to look at the Amish lifestyle as an 'answer' of sorts to the FTO issue.

"Gardening, housecleaning, yard work... all of these count."

Okay, show of hands: How many of you do plenty of EACH and are still not where you want to be body-wise?

All of you?

That's what I thought.

Look, all the super-moderate activity in the world is not going to help anyone turn off any fat-gene.

Short, intense exercise will. A realistic nutrition plan (like mine, or the ones detailed in Christopher's book) will.

Common sense will.

You do NOT need 3-4 hours of exercise a day to be healthy any more than you need 3-4 hours of investing each day to be rich.

You need SMART exercise (and smart investing for that matter.) It's not an issue of time, it's an issue of intensity and focus.

The links at the bottom of this newsletter are to my books, all of which answer the question: "How can I get the most done in the least amount of time?"

I'm all for an hour of walking a day, only because it's great for you and I love it. But to suggest anyone needs 3-4 hours of measly activity a day is damn silly.

7-21 minutes of intense activity (that is safe for you) and 30-60 minutes of moderately brisk walking (or an equal measure of exercise) is all you need to be in SUPER shape, let alone healthy.

I made the case in "7 Minute Muscle" and thousands are listening:

7 Minute Muscle Freee Report

Perhaps these researchers never met guys like me, Clarence Bass, Richard Winett, or any of the thousands of real- world experts who stay lean and healthy without 3-4 hours a day of activity.

And we have "the fat-gene"... at least I do. So there.

And that means you can do it too.

How Your Mind Affects Your Health

A hostile attitude raises heart attack risk, while dummy drugs ‘cure’ 30 per cent of people. What’s going on?

Saga.co.uk

Mind and body were once thought to operate completely separately, but increasingly, science is showing that this isn't the case. There's now biological evidence that what we think, feel and believe can have a direct effect on the way in which our bodies function – and, consequently, on our wellbeing.

Although the holistic nature of many complementary medicines means that they are largely centred around a mind/body link, orthodox medicine has only just started to catch up and acknowledge the role that attitude, thought and emotion play in health, particularly in people's ability to combat illness.

This connection between the brain and the immune system is being explored by the relatively new science of psychoneuroimmunology. It began in earnest in the 1970s when, in the course of an experiment, scientists gave rats a saccharine-flavoured solution along with a drug that causes stomach upsets and suppresses the immune system. When they were given the saccharine on its own the rats began to die; it seemed that their immune systems had learned to shut down in response to it, even in the absence of the drug, suggesting that there is a link between the brain and the mechanisms that fight disease.

Since then, research has increasingly discovered ways in which the brain connects and communicates with the immune system and other systems in the body. The processes at work in the mind/body link are highly complex. Neurotransmitters in the brain can be affected by emotions and, in turn, trigger physical reactions in other parts of the body, including the systems that combat illness. And illness, of course, affects emotions and behaviour.

‘There is a clear, established link between how we are in ourselves and the health of our bodies,' says Dr David Reilly, Consultant Physician at the Glasgow Homeopathic Hospital. ‘Think of how just a moment's embarrassment can make you blush. Now imagine what long-standing and burning inner feelings might do.

‘Being hostile predicts future heart disease better than high cholesterol, smoking or body-mass index. Hopelessness likewise. Optimists on average live nine years longer than pessimists. Every thought and feeling has to be reflected and expressed through the body.'

Stressed out

Stress, for example, is one area in which body and mind are strongly linked. Stress and anxiety raise levels of cortisol and adrenaline in the body, which affect the immune system. Stress has also been shown to trigger other chemicals, which are linked with ‘illness type' behaviour including changes in mood and eating and sleeping patterns.

Many conditions appear to be exacerbated by stress. Studies have shown, for example, that relapses in people with multiple sclerosis can be associated with stressful events.

But feeling good can affect the immune system too. A Californian study proved that laughter is good for you by showing that medical students who had just watched a comedy video had an increased number of virus-fighting T-cells and more vigorous immune-boosting natural killer cells in their systems.

Placebos please

Nowhere is the effect of mind over matter more evident than in the case of placebos. It's estimated that dummy treatments given in the course of research can effect a cure for 30 per cent of patients, or even more in some cases. Sometimes a patient's faith in a cure can be the best medicine of all. In one study for example, a placebo emerged as a more effective treatment for depression than either St John's Wort or a prescription anti-depressant.

It's not just drugs either – placebo surgery has been shown to work too. In one American study, patients with arthritis of the knee were treated just as successfully with a small incision and no further action as those who had a proper operation.

Although the jury is still out on whether placebos actually produce physical changes in the body, their effectiveness undoubtedly helps to strengthen evidence for the mind/body link.

Good thinking

The increasing credibility of this link is evident in the way in which it's become accepted that attitudes to illnesses affect outcomes. A study by Dr Stephen Greer carried out at King's College in London, for example, suggested that women with breast cancer who have a ‘fighting spirit' live longer than those who react fatalistically. Another study has shown that heart disease progressed more rapidly in men who felt helpless than those who did not.

However, the association between attitude and prognosis is by no means clear cut. A review of 26 studies investigating psychological coping styles and survival from cancer concluded that there is little consistent evidence that attitudes such as fighting spirit or denial affect the progress of the illness. ‘People with cancer should not feel pressured into adopting particular coping styles to improve survival or reduce the risk of recurrence,' say the review's authors.

Furthermore, findings that suggest that a person's mental attitude is crucial can engender guilt in people suffering from illnesses if they feel they are not reacting in the ‘right' way. This can make people feel as if they are to blame when they get sick, or when their attitude to their illness is not ‘up to scratch'.

In her book, The Human Side of Cancer, US doctor Jimmie C Holland talks about what she calls ‘the tyranny of positive thinking' – the way in which people who are ill are made to think that they are to blame for not getting better if they fail to approach their condition with an optimistic ‘fighting' stance.

‘Many people with cancer come to see me or other therapists for help with depressed feelings precisely because they don't fit today's popular model for coping with cancer,' she says. ‘They assume it must be their fault, that they're out of step, that there must be something wrong with them.' Obviously, this is not very helpful.

Health in mind

While it's far from established that people can actually think themselves into a cure for a particular illness, it's possible that a generally sociable and involved lifestyle can keep us healthier for longer. ‘Of course nothing in the end stops us ageing, getting sick and dying – that is natural and inevitable – but we can influence this to a degree,' says Dr Reilly.

‘Elderly people who help with housework, childcare and other tasks reduce the risk of dying by almost 60 per cent compared with those who don't help. It seems isolated social states and emotional states do not help life or happiness thrive. We need to help ourselves adopt as much inner peace as we can.'

your Clickbank commissions ??

There's been a ton of buzz around this system over the past few days and if you haven't heard about it yet, let me just fill you in...

It's called the "Commission Blueprint" - a radical formula created by Tim Godfrey and Steven Clayton that exploits Clickbank and Google in such a devious way that the resulting profits are in the realms of the *insane*.

Of course, you will have heard this kinda' thing a gazillion times before and to be perfectly honest so have I...

But after checking this out, I can give you rock solid confirmation that this is the real deal, especially if you want to replicate a simple system that generates MASSIVE Clickbank commissions.

Let me just throw some figures your way...

- $6,513.04 in one day

- $153,426.72 in 6 weeks

- $526,422.83 in 7 months.

...and the crazy thing is, these numbers were generated by promoting ONE Clickbank product, bidding on just ONE keyword...and without ANY help from JV partners or even an email list!

...not to mention the fact that this simple affiliate campaign took just a few minutes to set up.

How was it done?

Check out the story here:

This is a VERY VERY different ball game...

In fact, if you've ever wondered why most affiliates struggle to produce a red cent in profit whilst others effortlessly rake in unfathomable Clickbank commissions seemingly with their hands tied behind their back, then sit up and take note, because you're about to find out why.

----------------
The Best Thing?
----------------

You need no experience at all because they take you through the entire process on screen AND give you all the tools to actually make it happen.

----------------
The Weird Thing?
----------------

It's frankly bizarre that they're revealing this stuff. If it were me, I would've kept my mouth FIRMLY shut for sure.

These guys do 7 figures a year with Clickbank consistently and generate far bigger numbers than virtually anyone else on the planet.

Point being...if you're a suffering affiliate, you NEED this material. Badly.

----------------
The Bad News...
----------------

There are only very limited spots available and judging by how fast this has spread around the net, they'll go ultra fast... possibly in the next few hours.

It has literally just gone live though so you should be in time...

End result?

Affiliates who FAIL to get hold of this information will be left fighting for scraps and ultimately will be in a world of hurt from now on; that much I can assure you...

You can't afford to be left out of the loop with this one...

Use Your Mind to Age Faster or Slower

By Jon Benson
www.FitOver40.com

Probably the most common question I get other than "do you lift weights?" or "how much can you bench" is, "How do you get those abs?" Not many bodybuilders carry 6-packs around the entire year, and I'm no exception. However, during a 'peaking phase', my abs are pretty decent for a guy who was once completely obese!

They're shocked at my first response, and you will be, too: "What are you thinking about when you eat? "After a few seconds of blank stares, I usually get the reply, "I don't know... never really thought about it!" "Exactly," I say. "How do you plan on getting any part of your body to respond, including your abs, without concentration on the challenge?"

However, it's more than just 'concentration' - I'm literally telling my body what I want it to do with the food I'm eating, with the workout I'm doing, and with the cardio I'm performing. I often touch my mid-section to make a stronger connection. I'm constantly visualizing myself with the abs I want. I never waver from that vision. When I do, that's when the fat loss slows down. Sounds too hocus-pocus? Give it a shot and then talk to me!

Let me give you one brief example of the power of thought on the body, (and you can see dozens more in "Fit Over 40" ).

In the book "Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking" by Malcom Gladwell, a fascinating study was noted about the power of mere association with physical performance. A group of individuals were asked to read documents that were riddled with subtle "age" words, like "prune", or "wither". They were then asked to walk to a hallway to take another test. They were not told the reason for the readings, or why the readings changed.

The result? Each time the person read more "age" words, they literally ALTERED the way they walked down the hall. Speed slowed down considerably... even posture changes were noted. They literally began to "act old". If you think this does not work in reverse, think again.

By Jon Benson. You can see dozens of ab routines inside the Fit Over 40 e-book. Every ab routine will work optimally once you change how you perceive the power of your words and your thoughts!

Slow PC? This product will bring your PC back to shape!

Revolutionary product speeds up your computer



There are many reasons why your computer could be running slow...

I'm myself pretty much a hard core computer user, couple of friends have mentioned that if a new computer needs to be tested in just a couple of hours, it should be given to me.



Simply because my normal computer workload is pretty much at maximum at all times. I have Mozilla FireFox open with 20-50 different tabs, couple of Adobe Acrobat windows, couple of word files, Editplus (text editor) with 30 tabs, plus of course Adobe Photoshop, mail programs, MSN and these are just the main things.



So if a PC has a reason to strike for some reason, it should definitely be my computer. However, luckily I haven't really had any big problems except for speed issues due to my hardcore memory and CPU consumption. Most of the 'computer speed up' software out there focuses only on ONE problem area, but with a user like me, its far from enough. Products like "PC Doctor" and "Registry Fixer" are decent products but they leave a lot of your computer's speed potential unused (I know that after I have tested the product PC Secret Formula).


PC Secret Formula system covers all important areas so your computer is literally forced to perform at maximum speed and that's why I would definitely recommend the PC Secret Formula to everyone who feels their computer is running slower than it could be should be.


While I use my laptop around 16 hours a day, I haven't really done much to keep it running fast and safe. I run a firewall and anti-virus software. In the past I have tried some spyware software pieces, registry cleaners and so on, but overall they haven't done much good, some of them have actually screwed up my computer.

And this makes me happy to see a tested product, which teaches me how to do it all safely. At least for me it worked like a treat, really made my PC faster again and at the same time didn't cause it to blow up or anything like that.


Did you know that some anti-virus software might make your computer virus-free but at the same time take up so much of your PC resources that it makes your computer reaaaly slow?


Using PC Secret Formula


PC Secret Formula has been designed so that you run through the entire program step by step. First you get your machine cleaned up and to get familiar with software (btw, all the software names there are freeware, so no extra costs). It takes some time the first go around but it's very clearly explained.


You'll learn exactly what to do and most importantly, what NOT to do. How to use the software and a number of built-in Windows utilities to fix your slow computer. After that there's a regular maintenance plan outlined that will take much less time but will keep your machine in great shape.


Usually people charge a lot for just a registry cleaner, but in this package, its included! With this program you really get your money's worth plus more..


What I didn't like about PC Secret Formula? After going through the system I'd say there are one thing that I don't like about it. Firstly, being a hardcore computer user I know enough about computers as well as different tasks. What I don't know much about is how to speed up my computer.


I know a few things but I haven't really had any time to work on obtaining knowledge in that area. And here I'd like to see special chapters that would be combined of the section of the book. There could be like 3 different combinations, one for hardcore users like me, another for intermediate PC user and finally one for hardcore amateur. Right now the sections of PC Secret Formula all together last just a bit less than an hour's read, but for me it would be enough to have a 10-15 to get straight to the point.


Overall impression

PC Secret Formula has easy-to-follow, professionally produced and well put together ebook, but in addition to that, every single chapter also has notes attached which provide additional notes that will further enhance your PC's performance. So if your computer is running slow and you want to speed it up today, PC Secret Formula is the system you should use.
