Zero waste and carbon neutral will be the underpinning of a whole new approach to the meaning of personal health.
When consumers purchase nontoxic cosmetics and household cleaning products made from carbon-neutral resources such as herbs, hemp, or corn (instead of fossil raw materials), carbon transfer to the environment is reduced. |

See article keywords and concepts |  So the critics who attack Moore's own personal health are missing the whole point of the film. Moore is simply pointing out what's wrong with America's health care system, and he does so brilliantly and convincingly, regardless of his own personal health status. And besides, if you want to argue about the health of "experts," just walk into any hospital and take a look at the health of all the people who work there. Many aren't any healthier than Moore, and they work in the industry! The average lifespan of a U.S. doctor is less than a Cuban peasant. That's not a joke. |

Temperature
We know sudden temperature changes in our surroundings aggravate asthma, but a less recognised contributor to asthma is dramatic temperature variance in the food we eat and drink. |

There are many different types of clubs that you can consider if this is the path you have chosen for achieving your personal health and fitness goals. The key is to understand what you are getting before you join and more importantly what will keep you using the club. Clubs that offer facilities such as a swimming pool, hot tub, sauna or steam room are great selling tools, but the reality is that fewer than ten percent of members use them. If you are a swimmer and this is what you enjoy doing for exercise that is another story. |

Today, I'm happy to announce that together, we are doing that! We are making a huge difference in the world, one person at a time. Through the products you buy (and the products you avoid), you are voting with your dollars. And guess what? The rest of the world is following your leadership! |

See book keywords and concepts |  Questions of personal health did not take center stage in that book, which was more concerned with the ecological and ethical dimensions of our eating choices. (Though I've found that, in most but not all cases, the best ethical and environmental choices also happen to be the best choices for our health—very good news indeed.) But many readers wanted to know, after they'd spent a few hundred pages following me following the food chains that feed us, "Okay, but what should I eat? | | This is precisely what Weston Price and Sir Howard had in mind when they sought to connect the seemingly distant realms of soil and human health. Our personal health cannot be divorced from the health of the entire food web.
In many cases, long familiarity between foods and their eaters leads to elaborate systems of communication up and down the food chain so that a creature's senses come to recognize foods as suitable by their taste and smell and color. Very often these signals are "sent" by the foods themselves, which may have their own reasons for wanting to be eaten. |

See book keywords and concepts | | Unfortunately, the vast majority of the medical establishment still fails to accept the importance of maintaining a clean colon for personal health. Are you beginning to see a pattern emerge? If toxins are not eliminated from the colon on a regular basis, they leak into the bloodstream through what is termed "leaky gut syndrome,"8 and cause degenerative diseases throughout the body.
Okay, so where exactly do all of these toxins originate? More importantly, what can we do to prevent toxicity and maintain our precious health? | | Depending on your everyday environmental and personal health choices, these numbers could be greater or less than the examples provided.
Examples of Potential Daily Toxin Intake
Let's assume your body can handle only 1 million toxins every 24 hours before it's overloaded.
Every 24 hours, you may consume the following amounts of toxins in an average lifestyle:
Toxins from Food: 325,000
White flour, sugar in desserts, hormones and antibiotics, soy, pesticides, genetically modified foods, MSG, hydrogenated oils, fast foods and cooked, boxed, canned, processed foods, etc. |

See article keywords and concepts |  This is a common conundrum among consumers: How do you decide which grocery products are best for not just your own personal health, but also the health of the planet? It's a more complex decision than it might first seem. For one thing, much of the information necessary to make an informed decision simply isn't available to consumers. There is not determined enforcement of the rule, for example, that foods are accurately labeled with their country of origin. |

See article keywords and concepts |  Eating mammals is inhumane
Beyond the personal health consequences of red meat, I believe it is entirely unethical and inappropriate to raise any kind of mammal -- which includes cows and pigs -- for the purpose of consuming their flesh or organs. I am not advocating that we consume cow's brains, either. In fact, I believe that if we were a cultured society, a compassionate society and an advanced society, we would never use mammals as sources of food, entertainment or commercial revenue. |
Gregg Braden
See book keywords and concepts |  The revolution of scientific understanding suggests that from our personal health and relationships to global war and peace, the reality of our lives is nothing more and nothing less than our "belief waves" shaping the quantum stuff that everything is made from. It's all related to what we accept about our world, our capabilities, our limits, and ourselves.
The Undeniable Facts
"Okay," you're saying, "we've heard all of this before. It's naive, and maybe even arrogant, to suggest that the universe is in any way affected by our personal beliefs. It just can't be that simple. |

See book keywords and concepts |  The 1989 Guide strongly advocated an emphasis on counseling, stating that physicians ought to intervene in the "personal health practices of patients."19 In the traditional exam, a patient's use of automobile safety belts, for example, would receive less attention than a routine blood screening or chest X-ray. Yet motor vehicle accidents account for 45,000 deaths per year, half of which are preventible by using seat belts. By contrast, "there is little good evidence that performing routine CBCs [complete blood counts] or chest X-rays improves clinical outcomes. | | The implications of this finding for personal health and for health care policy are immense. For example, standard medical practice focuses considerable resources on the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer with very little success. Five year survival rates are about 13%, a figure which unfortunately has not improved in several decades. In an accompanying editorial titled, "The Immediate vs the Important," two physicians, themselves authors of a groundbreaking 1993 article on the same subject, called for a different approach for treating lung cancer. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Concerning the improvement of personal health and well-being, we are being challenged to make a major shift in both our individual and collective attitudes regarding health and freedom. We must move away from the pre-programmed expectations of illness and aging toward the anticipation of continual youthfulness and vitality. The old saying that everyone has to age and die seems to be a repeatedly verified belief doctrine that most people in the world follow blindly without questioning its validity. |

When consumers purchase nontoxic cosmetics and household cleaning products made from carbon-neutral resources such as herbs, hemp, or corn (instead of fossil raw materials), carbon transfer to the environment is reduced. Using agricultural crops and herbal ingredients as starting points instead of petrochemicals also leads to planting more renewable crops, which store carbon dioxide instead of releasing it to the environment. |
Stephen T. Sinatra, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  My surgical friend's personal health success had triggered my curiosity, which led to scientific study, which in turn, led me to treat my own patients with coenzyme Qio and L-carnitine. And, what do you know? They started getting better (and I started getting fewer distress calls at night). Continued study taught me that while coenzyme Q10 and L-carnitine improve ATP recycling in the mitochondria, it is D-ribose that accelerates energy synthesis and refills depleted energy pools. So I added D-ribose to my patient treatment protocol, and my patients improved further. |
Dawson Church
See book keywords and concepts |  As a society, we have to wake up to the ways in which our personal health fits into the picture of global healing, and vice versa. This will lead to sustainable, rational approaches to health care, rather than medical systems that pay no attention to the waste and cost they incur.
In addition to the financial waste, burgeoning bureaucracies, and unneeded medical tests, procedures, and prescriptions, our landfills are overflowing in part due to the huge volumes of medical waste generated by the large number of disposable objects used in treatment and diagnosis (and their sterile packaging). |

Holy basil is sacred to the Hindu god Vishnu and is used in morning prayers to insure personal health, spiritual purity, and family well-being. Strings of beads made from the plant's stems are used in meditation to give clarity and protection. The ancient ayurvedic texts, the Charaka Samhita (approx. 200 BCE) and Sushruta Samhita (400-100 BCE) both mention the use of this herb to treat people with snakebites and scorpion stings.
Holy basil is classified as a rasayana, an herb that nourishes a person's growth to perfect health and promotes long life. |

Meanwhile, embarking on an era of carbon-neutral consciousness can take over the world and bring back good, high-paying manufacturing jobs to America and other nations and ease the growing gap we now see between the very rich and the very poor. | | We're not going to be perfect, but if we keep in mind the powerful vision of being a green patiots and what it means to our personal health, our nation's security, and our children's future, we have the power to awake each morning with confidence and resolve that our personal actions are going to redeem our future as individuals, citizens, and as a nation.
