Eating For Excellent Health
3. Happiness and contentment. What is the key?
By Warren Matthews
Is having a fit and strong body the answer?
Many people think
that to be so! Over the years I have seen many examples of
people going to extremes to get their bodies to what they think
is peak condition in the belief that this is the way to health
and happiness.
I still clearly remember a friend of mine of 20 years ago whom
in outward appearances was the epitome of health in that he was
in great shape and exceptionally fit. Nonetheless he collapsed
and died on the spot of a heart attack at the age of 40. His
friends couldn't believe it... but even then I understood why!
He did not concern himself with his internal health! He figured
as many of us do at that age, that we will live forever and was
not aware of the need to take care of his internal organs. He
unknowingly abused his organs by eating all sorts of junk food.
He looked good on the outside but was dying on the inside! As
with so many things in life it is often what you can't see that
truly counts.
But that's not all! Even though he was a smart man he never
truly experienced a real sense of wellbeing, contentment and
thus happiness. He did not lack material possessions. So, what
was missing? Why is it that most people seem to find happiness
so elusive?
Over the years I have reflected on this question many times and
observed peoples level of REAL contentment and happiness. I
have also researched the subject. The conclusion that I have
come to, which is supported by 'thinking' scientists throughout
the world, is that in order to have peace and happiness, not
only must you be healthy on the inside with all your organs
functioning perfectly, and be free from pain but you must also
have the other often missing ingredient!
Which is?
A perfectly functioning healthy brain and nervous system!
Ever wondered why a baby born to a healthy mother whilst being
breast feed is content and undoubtedly has a good sense of well
being? OK... I hear you say, who wouldn't have peace of mind
with having your every need taken care of you, not having to
worry where your next meal is coming from nor having to worry
how you are going to meet the mortgage payment next month?
Can't argue with that... but there is more to it than this. The
baby still has all their brain cells intact. But, it doesn't
take long before these cells start progressively dying off.
Even in our late teens our brain cells start dying, and unlike
other parts of our bodies they are not being replaced. However,
that is not as bad as it sounds as we all have many more than
we really need so we can afford to lose a few thousand a day!
The problem starts when the rate at which the brain cells begin
to die accelerates and the communication between the remaining
ones starts breaking down... ie your neurotransmitters are no
longer 'firing on all cylinders'. Add to that a general
deterioration in your nervous system and you are heading for
trouble!
What sort of trouble? For a start... memory loss, brain fog,
depression, anxiety, stress, insomnia, loss of your sense of
well being etc, etc. There is much more, but that's enough for
the moment!
So, what's the answer?
In a word... feeding your brain and nervous systems those
NUTRIENTS that science has discovered are needed to get those
neurotransmitters firing on all cylinders again!
BUT... you may be thinking, surely I can get enough of these
nutrients from my diet? Sorry, but there is virtually no hope
of doing this in today's modern world... but that is a subject
for another day. Even with a good diet you still could not get
enough of some of the special ingredients that your brain and
nervous system needs as some of them are simply not present in
a 'normal' diet.
You must supplement with these special substances. However,
that is not as easy as it may sound as currently there are very
few supplements on the market today that are advanced enough to
achieve the results.
If you are either a long time subscriber or a customer, you
will be aware that last year we completed the development of an
advanced Neurological Formula which we have been producing and
supplying ever since. This has been highly successful and many
customers have benefited greatly from it.
Nonetheless, even though it was the most advanced of its type
in the world it was still somewhat of a compromise. What I mean
by that, is, that it was all things to all people. In other
words, not only would it help a person with depression, it
would also help someone who was losing their memory, or wished
to sharpen their mental faculties.
In some cases, the mechanisms that need to be activated in
helping one condition meant that we had to compromise the
benefits for another condition. For example, some ingredients
that are great for mental alertness may not be the best for
someone who is suffering from Insomnia.
So... for the last 6 months our R & D team headed by Prof. Dr.
A Munem Daoud has been working on a solution.
The result!
We are replacing our current Neurological Formula with a new
family of products called Neuro-Natural.
Our R & D team has developed four new products and we have just
today completed the first production run. They are:
1. Neuro-Natural General. This one replaces the current
Neurological Formula and is suitable for general brain and
nervous system health and has essential and in some cases
rare nutrients in it. (It's costs a little less too!)
2. Neuro-Natural Serenity. This one targets depression and
anxiety and gives users the best natural opportunity
possible to relieve these conditions. It will be quite a
bit more effective than our previous Neurological formula
in achieving this and will be your best chance in being
able to wean yourself off anti-depressant drugs... with
the help of your physician of course.
3. Neuro-Natural Memory. This one will suit two groups of
people. Those who are experiencing memory loss and/or are
in the early stages of dementia, or who are concerned about
Alzheimer's. The other groups of people who will benefit
from this product are students, professional people,
business people or anyone who wants to gain a mental edge.
I have personally switched from our current formula to this
product.
4. Neuro-Natural Sleep. The name of this says it all. On the
testing that we have done with this product, it really does
help.
Another change that we made with these formulas was to make
some adjustments in some of the mineral and trace elements so
that the formulas are 100% compatible with Total Balance even
if the Total Balance and the Neuro-Natural formulas are both
being taken in their full doses of 6 tablets a day each. They
can also be combined. (I am taking 6 of each on the basis of 2
of each together three times a day).
These formulas are exceptional. I know that they are not cheap
because we have not compromised on ANYTHING but they are cheap
insurance if you consider the financial and lifestyle
ramifications that flow on from a less than perfect functioning
brain and nervous system.
Also remember, that it is easier to retain your mental
faculties and enhance your brain whilst it is still functioning
reasonably well. As with all degenerative diseases prevention
is the key... so, don't delay, if you can stretch your budget
far enough add one of the Neuro-Natural formulas to your
supplement regime today.
