 6 Easy Ways You Can Start Eating a Mediterranean Diet Today

By: Alex Johnson The Mediterranean diet consistently ranks as one of the healthiest diets to follow.

It represents the dietary pattern consumed among populations bordering the Mediterranean Sea in the 1960s. These people had some of the longest life expectancies in the world.

Research shows that a Mediterranean diet can help improve various health markers. Studies have shown eating a Mediterranean diet can help reduce LDL cholesterol levels, prevent the development of type of 2 diabetes, lower blood pressure and help fight obesity.

The diet is also linked with reduced inflammation levels, which is a major risk factor for heart attack, stroke and Alzheimer’s disease.

Here are some of the simplest ways you can start eating more Mediterranean today.

1. Try Cooking with Extra Virgin Olive Oil

The Mediterranean diet has a high ratio of healthy unsaturated fats to saturated fats. This is partly due to its high usage of olive oil.

Extra virgin olive oil in particular has been associated with anti-inflammatory properties. This may be because it contains oleocanthal, which acts as natural anti-inflammatory compound similar in structure to ibuprofen.

It is easy to see why high consumption has been associated with a significantly reduced risk of heart attacks and stroke.

Try replacing butter with olive oil for some recipes you cook and drizzle some oil on your favorite salads.

2. Snack on Nuts

Nuts like almonds, walnuts and cashews provide protein, fiber and healthy fats.

In one study, eating a Mediterranean diet with nuts was associated with a reduced risk of combined heart disease, stroke and death from cardiovascular disease by 28%.

Studies show eating nuts in moderation can also help you lose weight. This is despite having a high energy density.

Nuts are a perfect snack when you're busy and they're very easy to mix into many other recipes too. Just make sure you avoid salted nuts, as they can raise blood pressure.

3. Replace Refined Grains with Whole Grains

Whole grains contain high amounts of nutrients, minerals and fiber. Although refining the grains prolongs their shelf life, this comes at the removal of those.

This is because the refining process removes the bran and germ, leaving just the endosperm. The endosperm is composed primarily of carbohydrates with none of the nutrients and fiber contained in the other parts of the grain.

Eating refined grains has been linked to an increased risk of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

On the other hand, one study found women who ate two or more servings a day of whole grains were 30% less likely to have died from conditions connected to inflammation compared to those who rarely did.

Making the switch to whole grain alternatives is one of the easiest changes you can make. Simply swap out for your white carbohydrates like rice, bread and pasta for their whole grain alternatives.

4. Season with Herbs and Spices Instead of Salt

Seasoning often means just adding salt and pepper. Too much salt in the diet can lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, and stroke.

However, different herbs and spices can bring out extra depths of flavor and complexity to your meals. Many also carry notable health benefits.

For example, sage has been linked to improvements in brain function, cinnamon to lower blood sugar levels and garlic to reduced LDL cholesterol.

Try experimenting with several spices in the same dish and see what works for you. There’s no wrong way to spice your meals up.

5. Replace Red Meat with Fatty Fish

Fish is a great source of lean protein. They are also high in many nutrients most people don’t get enough of. These include vitamin A, D and omega-3 fatty acids.

Omega-3 fatty acids have been linked with a reduced the risk of heart disease, some cancers and dementia. They are also thought to be helpful for brain development.

In one study of more than 40,000 health professionals, those who regularly ate 2-4 servings of fish per week were associated with a 15% lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

Unprocessed red meat can be highly nutritious but is often high in saturated fats. Studies show red meat consumption is often associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer mortality.

Many fish dishes are delicious and easy to prepare, making it relatively easy to incorporate into your diet as an evening meal.

6. Savor Your Bites

The Mediterranean diet is not just about the food you eat but also the way you eat it. Mediterranean communities spent more time over their food compared to today.

Eating quickly has been associated with excess body weight. Data also suggests eating slowly may help maximize feelings of fullness and reduce calorie intake within meals.

Try bonding over food by eating with friends and family. This should slow down your eating and reduce your need to snack afterwards. Really try and enjoy the tastes of your food rather than shoveling it all down.

Real World Police Presented on US Sports Net By Tactical P.E. Featuring: Arrest ME?! Do You Know Who I Am?!

 

Straight from the officer's narrative:

 "On 6/12/19 at approximately 8:10 PM, Officer J. Ahrends and I were dispatched to an accident at the intersection of Highway 62 and Butler Road. The accident was a two vehicle accident involving a 16 YOA male. When I asked the male for insurance, he stated that his mother had it and was on her way. At approximately 8:50 PM, the male's mother arrived on scene driving a small silver passenger car.  (Video below)

 I made contact with the mother, Jenkins, Andrea, and inquired about the insurance. When she began talking I could smell a strong odor of intoxicants. I asked if she drove to the accident, she stated that she did. I asked her how much she had to drink. She stated that she had two glasses of wine. I released all parties from the accident and had Jenkins perform Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. Jenkins performed the test consistent with that of an intoxicated person. When asked to place her hands behind her back, she pulled away and began yelling for her family to record the incident. I advised her that the incident was being recorded on my body worn camera. Jenkins began cursing and yelling, saying that she had only driven there for her son. She was placed in handcuffs (double locked) and in the back of my patrol vehicle.

THE ERA OF THE MACHINE ENDS!

Moving freely and powerfully like the mythical John Henry, without machine control, we develop true functional fitness through movement, not merely muscles. This is how in our system, we’ve ELIMINATED injuries in federal agencies, where injuries are usually high, and where physical conditioning is an absolute job requirement. Learn more...................

 On the way to the jail she yelled over and over that she did have three glasses of wine and drove to the scene of the accident, only because of her son. At the jail, I read to her the Arkansas DWI statement of rights. She agreed to take the Intox EC/IR II requested of her. The final result, at 10:29 PM, showed Jenkins to have a blood alcohol concentration of .17. She was read and explained the drivers license receipt form, which she signed and a copy placed in her file. It should be noted that Jenkins cursed and yelled for a majority of the time. Often times she interrupted me during the field sobriety tests and rights form. She told me multiple times that she was a teacher, school bus driver, and justice of the peace and I could have let her go. She was turned over to jail staff to be booked on the above charge.

" That's putting it mildly. 

 A two-hour long version of this incident, edited down from nearly 3.5 hours, will be available on Patreon as soon as it finishes processing. [Edit: Is available.] Yes, that means I had to watch this for nearly four hours. You're welcome :) Hey, did you know that she is a teacher and a bus driver. And she is only there because her son got in a wreck? Just checking.

Choose Life

Kenneth Copeland

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:6

If you were given the choice between life and death, which would you choose? The answer seems obvious. But, in reality, it's not.
You see, choosing death doesn't necessarily mean jumping from the nearest cliff. It's much more subtle than that.
The Bible says death is being carnally minded, being entangled in this present worldly realm. The Bible also tells us what life is. "My son, attend to my words," says Proverbs 4:20-22, "...for they are life!"
To be worldly minded is death. To be Word-minded is life.
In Luke 10, there's a story that illustrates this principle extremely well. It's the story of Mary and Martha. You probably remember it. Mary was sitting at Jesus' feet listening to Him teach while Martha was bustling around in the kitchen cooking dinner for everyone.
Finally Martha couldn't stand it anymore. She came to Jesus and said, "Lord, don't You care that my sister has left me to do all the work myself? Tell her to help me!" Jesus answered, "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: but one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her" (Luke 10:41-42).
Mary had set everything else aside, so she could hear the Word. But Martha had let the seemingly important business of living take priority over the Word. She'd chosen death, not life.
You see how easy it is to slip into that?
"But Brother Copeland," you say, "if I didn't spend all my time taking care of the business of living, my life would fall apart!"
Oh, really? Martha probably thought that too. She probably thought if she didn't cook dinner for all those folks, they'd go hungry. But they wouldn't have. Jesus had miraculously fed multitudes before and He could have done it again in Martha's home. She could have plopped herself down at Jesus' feet, and they could have had a banquet at God's expense!
Don't make the mistake that Martha did. Don't get so entangled in the business of living that you choose death by default. Decide to put the Word first place. Choose Life!

Dr. Eric Berg Featuring: Molybdenum for Better Detoxification

 
Today, I want to cover a really fascinating trace mineral called molybdenum. (Video below)

 What is molybdenum? Molybdenum is a coenzyme for many chemical reactions in the body.

Foods high in molybdenum:
• Legumes
• Grains (not keto-friendly)
• Nuts
 • Eggs
• Green beans 
• Sunflower seeds

Sulfite oxidase - Converts sulfites into sulfur compounds. You need this enzyme to detox the liver, make glutathione, and to make certain compounds in your joints. 
 Aldehyde oxidase - Involved in getting rid of the candida die off. It’s also involved in breaking down drugs.
Xanthine oxidase - Turns certain proteins into uric acid. 

Molybdenum is involved in detoxification, and without it, things can become toxic. If you have a problem with detoxification, molybdenum is the trace mineral you would want to take. 

 Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting. He is the author of The New Body Type Guide and other books published by KB Publishing. He has taught students nutrition as an adjunct professor at Howard University. He no longer practices, but focuses on health education through social media.

Martial Arts Quotes

By: William Nicholas

"A black belt is nothing more than a belt that goes around your waist. Being a black belt is a state of mind and attitude."

This is one of the many martial arts quotes by Rick English that defines Martial Arts in one sentence.

What is martial art?

Martial Art is a tradition of combat, practised for various reasons like self-defence, competition, etc. More importantly, it is a tool for physical, mental and spiritual development. Even though it is known as a combat technique, martial arts also draws upon breathing and relaxation techniques called Systema.

Different countries and cultures have different variations of martial arts. While gatka is a Sikh weapon-based martial art, aikido is a Japanese martial art which is rooted in the Zen philosophical beliefs.

THE ERA OF THE MACHINE ENDS!

The era of massive fields of cardio equipment and warehouses of strength training machines may still be dominant in extreme-fee globo-gyms, but people have been rapidly discovering the problems inherent in these membership-driven agendas.

Moving freely and powerfully like the mythical John Henry, without machine control, we develop true functional fitness through movement, not merely muscles. This is how in our system, we’ve ELIMINATED injuries in federal agencies, where injuries are usually high, and where physical conditioning is an absolute job requirement.

Benefits:

Practising martial arts has various benefits. This is also reflected in the martial arts quotes by famous people. It is a technique which requires a high level of concentration and focus along with stamina. During martial arts training, the whole body is exercised and gives a boost to the strength, flexibility and movement of an individual.

Apart from the physical benefits, martial arts also have many mental benefits. They improve self-esteem, control and emotional and spiritual aspects of an individual. If one goes through the martial arts quotes by the people who have learnt them for ages will reflect a focus on the physical as well as the mental and spiritual well-being where the main objective is to fight with a sword.

One of the many martial arts quotes by Bruce Lee reflects how it is important to empty one’s mind and be formless and shapeless, like water.

One martial arts quotes says that if you cannot beat your computer in chess then try kick-boxing which clearly highlights the importance of martial arts to the mind, body and spirit.

Variety in Martial Arts:

Centuries before Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan popularised martial arts in the West, there were some forms of Martial Arts already entrenched in their culture. Archery, wrestling, sword fighting and boxing are some of the martial arts forms that originated in the West. Ed Parker was a popular martial arts trainer in America. He was responsible for some of the most famous martial arts quotes in the West.

Martial Arts can be divided on the basis of traditional or contemporary; by application; regional origin and by the techniques taught. There are certain weapons-based and hand-to-hand combat martial arts too. The hand-to-hand combat is taught in the armies.

It is interesting to note that all the martial arts quotes by several people who have practised it for various years reflect the use of weapons as commanding one’s own ego rather than the enemy. In fact, many martial arts quotes reflect how the sword was considered similar to the mind.

Martial Arts Industry:

Taekwondo, judo, karate and various forms of martial arts have become popular. People who teach them have flourished and it has also become a sport. Judo, boxing and archery are some of the sports that are a part of the Olympics.

Not only is the art, but the equipment that goes with it has led to an industry coming up. However, one may master the art but a true person who knows martial arts, also knows how to control his or her mind. One of the martial arts quotes by Duk Sung Son states that only 5% with the TaeKwonDo training stick with it till they get the Black Belt. About 80% stop there.
