Chapter 7: Juicing For Detoxification

Synopsis

The juicing process is ideal for detoxification of the body system, as it enhances the enzymes, vitamins and mineral absorption which in turn greatly benefits the immune system.

Detox

Juicing organic vegetables and fruits which are rich in nutrients will help to cover the cells in the body with the alkaline juices released from these juicing concoctions whereby acids are released and toxins can be removed through various elimination channels in the body.

The parts of the body that play an important role in filtering such toxins would include the lungs, kidneys, skin and other functions like urinary and bowel movements.

The enzymes released from these juices also help the digestive processed where the proteins break down the foods into nutrients and this is an important function as most adults have already used up their natural digestive enzymes by the age of 30.

Therefore the outside aid that the juices provide is definitely beneficial to the digestive process as it is pivotal in the detoxifying regiment the body naturally enlists.

When the body is full of toxins it is unable to absorb the nutrients that are available in the natural intake of regular foods, thus the need for these added juices to assist in the breakdown of the toxins to cleanse the body and carry the appropriate amount to oxygen and nutrients directly to the cell and tissues.

Some of the ideal ingredients to use in the juicing process for detoxifying would include lettuce, dark green kale, carrots, beet greens, cilantro, parsley, celery sticks, collard greens, endive, spinach, dandelion greens, cabbage both purple and green and lemons.

Some people who practice this detoxifying regiment periodically attest to the fact that they no longer have cravings for sweetened foods and they can keep to a regular and healthy diet without any struggles. This is probably due to the fact that the body is able to function at its optimum because of the detoxifying sessions.

SUCCESS TIP NO. 13: USE LETTUCE LEAVES INSTEAD OF BREAD

This tip can seem a bit odd at first but if you try it you will probably grow to love it. Instead of eating breads and buns with your sandwiches and hamburgers, why not try leaves of lettuce?

You can make a double cheeseburger with onions, pickles and tomato wrapped in a whole lettuce leaf. Or you can make tasty wrap sandwiches with lettuce instead of tortilla and bread.

This will help increase your good carb and fiber intake while giving you more variety in your diet.

SUCCESS TIP NO. 14: EAT FRUIT FOR DESSERT

Okay, we all want a little dessert sometime, but how do you have your dessert and your low-carb diet too? Why not try cheese with fruit slices or berries? Better yet, why not try cream with berries? You could even try sweet pineapples or strawberries with cottage cheese?

Berries are sweet and high in fiber and nutrients and dairy products are high in protein. If your low-carb plan will allow it, this is a sweet and tasty alternative to more sugary desserts.

An added benefit is that the protein in the dairy products and the fiber in the fresh fruit will make these desserts more filling.

SUCCESS TIP NO. 15: SKIP FRUIT JUICE AND EAT FRESH FRUIT

Fruit juice can be very tempting as a replacement for soda, but just how healthy is fruit juice? If you read the labels you will soon realize that in many of the commercial juices available at your local grocery store there is very little actual fruit juice.

What you will find is lots of sugar water and other ingredients. And as we know that all the excess sugar that we consume, if not used will convert into body fat.

Why not skip the juice altogether and eat a fresh piece of fruit? Not only does fresh fruit contain less sugar than juice, fresh fruit has fiber that is good for you and will help you feel fuller longer.

SUCCESS TIP NO. 16: MEAL REPLACEMENTS IN MODERATION

New innovative meal replacement shakes and protein bars go on the market almost every day. It is an estimated 20 Billion dollar a year industry so it only makes sense. It is so convenient and in this day and age of always being on the run it is a lifesaver when trying to have a successful diet. These are all the tools of a successful diet so make use of them but keep it in moderation as these products often time contain high amounts of hydrogenated oil and sweeteners.

So be careful. The bars especially may be only slightly healthier than a Snickers candy bar. Occasionally, they may not be that bad for you but as a rule you probably don't want to indulge in more than 2 meal replacement shakes or bars every day.

SUCCESS TIP NO. 17: IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY IS

Low carb doughnuts and muffins? You can find these prepackaged low-carb labeled goods at your neighborhood grocery store and at many low-carb lifestyle specialty shops. That does not mean that you should make a habit out of eating them.

While low-carb pastries may be tempting remember that they still contain all of the usual carbohydrate suspects: sugar or a sugar substitute and flour.

They may be healthier than your typical muffin as an occasional treat, but remember to stick with the basics for continued low-carb success.

SUCCESS TIP NO. 18: AT THE GROCERY STORE - SHOP THE OUTER AISLES

It will be easier to stick with your low-carb lifestyle if you learn the one common thread in all grocery store designs: the healthy foods are on the perimeter aisles.

Think about it, when you go into the grocery all of the healthy stuff, fruits, vegetables, meats, and dairy products are arranged around the stores walls. You only rarely need to enter the center aisle areas in those few stores that stock butter and cheese in the center near the frozen foods. For the most part all of the foods that you need for your low carb diet can be found on the perimeter of the grocery store.

Train yourself to start on one end of the outer aisle and work your way around. It will be much easier to avoid carb cravings and fill your basket with healthy items if you do so.

SUCCESS TIP NO. 19: INVEST IN GOOD RECIPE BOOKS

Can't figure out what to eat? Need some variety in your diet? Turn to a cookbook. Granted, not all recipes in a cookbook are low-carb fare, but you will be surprised at the number of low-carb and low-carb friendly recipes you can find in your standard Betty Crocker Cookbook.

Cookbooks are sometimes lifesavers and great reference tools that often contain handy tips on purchasing cuts of meat and preparing meats, fruits and vegetables in new and exciting ways.

Plus, new low-carb cookbooks are hitting the shelves all the time. So be sure to take advantage of these resources to try something new, different and delicious.

SUCCESS TIP NO. 20: TAKE A GOOD MULTIVITAMIN

We can't all do it right all of the time. Even the most conscientious food combiner may miss some healthy vitamins, minerals and trace elements in their diets. To help make sure you get everything that you need, consider taking a good multivitamin.

Check with your doctor first for recommendations and you should be tested for anemia to see if you need a vitamin with iron. However, the longer you eat low-carb and the more red meat you eat, the less anemia will be a problem and you should be able to take vitamins with less iron.

Your success is totally up to you. Assuming that you are an otherwise healthy individual, your body will do its part. Just remember to adhere to the low-carb diet plan that is right for you and add some variety to your meals to help you stay faithful to your health and weight loss goals.

Conclusion

As we have reached the end of the 20 secrets to dieting success it is important to realize that this list is not exhaustive and definitely not all there is to know about dieting success. The most important thing with any sort of dieting is consistency and setting goals.

5. How to Price Your E-Book

You've written and compiled an E-Book. Now you have to decide how much to charge for it. Finding the right price is essential to the success of your product. If you charge too little, people will think it's of little value, and they won't purchase it, or even it they do buy your book, you will have to sell thousands of copies to get to the point where you can begin to see a profit. If you price it too high when compared with your competition, you will find yourself steadily lowering the price, which will cause you all kinds of new problems in the future. For example, if you sell your E-Book at first for $39.99, and later reduce it to $24.95, don't you think the people who bought it for $39.99 are going to be PISSED?

Choosing the right price for your E-Book is one of the most critical parts of the marketing process. The first rule of pricing E-Books is to never underprice. Determine the highest price your audience can afford, and then if you find your book isn’t selling, you can always reduce the price. Before you take that step, make sure you are promoting your book like crazy on the Internet and on websites. The price should be aimed at bringing in profits, but you should never forget that price is one of the factors that people use in judging the value of your E-Book ? before they buy it. So always start with the highest price, and then launch a mega-marketing campaign.

Pricing an E-Book is particularly difficult because E-Books are a fairly new commodity. Since they are digital, the value of an E-Book is as confusing as the understanding of what digital actually is to the average layperson. This means that we must look at E-Books in a different light in order to determine their actual worth in this brave, new cyber world.

Let's look at the difference between a book in print and an E-Book. A printed book is an object you can hold in your hand, store on your bookshelf, even hand down to the next generation. It is priced on factors such as paper stock, design and production costs, and marketing.

But the fact that unites E-Books and print books is that they are composed of ideas. It is the ideas in these books that have the ability to change, or possibly transform, people's lives.

What do you think an idea is worth when evaluated against the cost of paper and ink?

It is the IDEAS that are valuable! That is how you determine the cost of your E-Book.

What should I charge for my ideas?

There are all different formulas and methods for determining the correct price for your E-Book. Let’s begin with honing in on your ultimate goals.

Decide if your goal is to get wide distribution and maximum exposure. This goal is aimed at drawing customers to your business or service, or to establishing the credibility of your reputation. If this is your main goal, you should aim to keep your price on the low side. Some authors have even priced their E-Books at a profit loss to draw a high number of new customers. The key is to find a price that maximizes your profits and the number of books you sell.

This is an excellent pricing strategy if you are looking to acquire long-term customers. Long-term customers are extremely likely to buy from you again and again as long as the first E-Book they buy is of exceptional quality and beneficial to the customer.

However, if your book contains valuable and more importantly NEW information, references, or techniques then you should aim to price it on the high end.

After you figure out your goal, you must figure out what your audience’s need is for your E-Book. For example, does your book solve a particular problem? If it does, and solves it in a way that hasn’t been written about in one hundred other E-Books, you will be able to achieve high sales at a high price. If your book solves a problem or answers questions in a new and unique way, you should price your book as high as you can go. You will achieve larger profits this way, but bring in fewer customers. Just make sure the question or problem that your book solves is one that is important and relevant to the majority of your market audience. If your ideas are not common knowledge, or you are presenting a brand new technique, you will be able to sell books at a high price. Just be prepared for your competition to undercut you on price as soon as they hear about your book.

Keep in mind that the above pricing strategy is temporary. Eventually, you will cease to sell books at this high price. So figure out in advance how long you plan to offer your E-Book at this high price, and when that time is up, change your pricing strategy.

If you want to see large profits over customer draw, aim for an audience that is looking for easy solutions to their problems at a low price. If your book is aimed at solving one particular problem rather than general advice, then you can charge more. Start at the highest price the market will bear to bring in the largest profits, and plan to discount the book a number of times throughout the year.

Marketing Strategies

The key that unlocks the sales potential of your E-Book is to find a single sentence that becomes your selling handle. This sentence states what question or problem your book answers and the benefits your E-Book can provide. Then be sure to use that sentence in every piece of sales and promotional material, and every time anyone asks you about your E-Book.

Besides promoting your books assiduously online, there are several other strategies that can help you sell more books.

One is to give something away for free with your book, such as a valuable bonus item. Or bundle several E-Books under one price, which lowers the price for each E-Book if they were sold separately.

Chapter 4: Vitamins For A Healthy Heart

Synopsis

Through the course of trying to maintain healthy heart conditions, the individual should consider incorporating a good vitamin intake regimen into the daily diet plan thus effectively ensuring a better balance and optimal heat function possibilities. This can be done quite easily with the right vitamin plan in place to cater to this need.

Vitamins

Most essential heart vitamins should include the use of the vitamin B family elements.

These vitamins serve specific functions and can significantly reduce the risk of developing heart diseases or keeping an already existing condition in check. In some cases it has also played a significant role in elimination the problem altogether.

The vitamin B plays a role in removing homocysteine from the blood which is the main cause of the arteries being damaged. Meat is one good source of this particular vitamin. Vitamin B also contributes to the reduction of cholesterol in the body system as does other vitamins which include vitamin E and C.

Vitamins E and C provide the necessary antioxidants for the heart to function at an optimum level without being stressed with negative complications which are brought on by the inadequate diet and lifestyle plans.

The antioxidants are the elements that remove the toxic byproducts of chemical reactions in the body system as these highly reactive chemicals that circulate within the system are the cause of most of the significant damage done to a healthy heart.

It has also been known to assist in keeping certain cancers and premature aging in check. The vitamin E which is often gotten from the omega 3 oils does have a lot of cardio benefits if taken over a period of time as there is evidence that is can be a good prevention rather than as actual complete cure for the heart disease condition. Thus in the quest to limit the problems that may arise and cause a healthy heart to deteriorate taking this vitamin will certainly help to ensure optimum functioning is prolonged.

Chapter 5: Nutritional Supplements Treating Heart Diseases

Synopsis

Recently more patients are turning to nutritional supplements to help treat heart disease conditions as opposed to depending on medications. This is due to the fact that for some the nutritional supplements present a better option with fewer side effects as compared to the more conventional medical treatments, thus the popular use.

For Treatment

The following is a guide to the nutritional supplements sources for treating heart disease conditions:

Antioxidant vitamins - these would include the range of vitamins A,C, and E. Taking such vitamins as supplements, for the intention of improving health conditions is something that is becoming very popularly advocated by most medical groups today.

This is done with the added effort to consciously control the blood pressure levels. However it should be noted that the use of such antioxidant vitamins in the form of natural sources from food products should be taken as a whole and not depended upon solely without other more complete and complimenting additions.

Omega-3 fatty acids - this differs with the consumption of the omega-3 fatty acids which is generally accepted as complete supplements in its various forms to be able to combat negative heart conditions or to help create ideally healthy heart conditions.

This supplement which is predominantly derived from the consistent intake of fish does help to give the body system the much needed omega-3 fatty acids to cater to the daily needs of the body.

Folate - this naturally element that is usually found in deep green leafy vegetables, fruits and dried beans is also another important element that ensures good and healthy heart conditions. Vitamin B is the most dominant factor that is derived from this food source. Deficiency of this element will cause the blood vessels to sustain damage and blood clot formations to become rampant which will eventually put a constant strain on the heart condition.

Chapter 6: Getting Folic Acid For Heart Disease

Synopsis

Recent studies have shown that consistent and controlled consumption of the folic acid supplements can reduce the chances of developing heart disease and strike conditions. The folic acid helps to reduce the levels of homocysteine in the body system of an individual.

A Natural Way

The homocysteine is an amino acid in the blood which is often linked to the higher risk of cardiovascular disease and stroke or even peripheral vascular disease.

With the regulated consumption of folic acid it has been found that the homocysteine levels in the blood systems is affectively brought to a more manageable and even healthier level thus eliminating the possibility of causing heart problems.

Being a water soluble vitamin the folate is predominantly found in the vitamin B group. Some ideal dietary sources of folic acid would include dark green leafy vegetables, fortified breakfast cereals, enriched grain products, liver and some other organ meats, lightly cooked beans, peas, nuts and certain seeds, oranges and grapefruits, sprouts, poultry and whole wheat bread.

The folate helps to produce and maintain the new cells and normalize red blood cell conditions. The homocysteine metabolism is kept in check with the maintenance of normal levels of the amino acid.

It has been established that the addition of proper folic acid amount into the daily diet plan has been able to adequately contribute to the reduction in the plasma tHcy concentrations, thus improving endothelial functions. It is generally accepted that the controlled consumption of folic acid in its various form is a relatively inexpensive way of keeping the heart condition and its functions healthy and optimum.

To date most studies conducted have shown that it does have some positive effect on the heart conditions if consumed in a regulated manner. It should be noted that the age of the individual is an important deciding factor in creating the ideal amounts that should be consumed on the daily basis, as an overdose of the folic acid intake can lead to other complications within the body system.
