Eating kiwifruit daily can reduce DNA damage by as much as 60%. Eating avocados daily is known to increase gut microbes, and pomegranate consumption has been shown to have a preventative effect against lung, prostate, breast, and colon cancer.
The Buteyko breathing method was developed by Russian physiologist Dr. Konstanin Buteyko in the 1950’s. Dr. Buteyko observed that newborn infants breathe very gently while the elderly with health conditions frequently gasp for air. Dr. Buteyko spent his life improving the health of his patients by implementing his own breathing normalization techniques based on yoga breathing.
The breathing technique involves exercises that combine nasal-breathing, breath-holding and relaxation. A baseline evaluation is performed by comfortably holding one’s breath and counting the seconds until a need for breath arises. A count of 40 or higher is optimal for overall health and the lower the number the greater the risk for serious health conditions. These numbers are easily increased by implementing Buteyko breathing exercises.
Buteyko breathing increases carbon dioxide levels which are necessary for optimal oxygen delivery to the cells. As a whole we tend to over-breathe thus lower our carbon dioxide levels.
Improving carbon dioxide levels has been shown to improve health conditions such as:
Asthma
Diabetes
Reproductive disorders
Psychological disorders
Anxiety
Panic Attacks
Sleep disorders
High blood pressure
Stress
Weakened immune system
COPD
Weight gain
Emphysema
Sleep apnea
Hay fever
Migraine
Atrial Fibrillation
We’ve all been told to breathe deeply and according to Dr. Buteyko this is incorrect and can lead to serious health decline. Though mostly known for his work with asthmatics, by implementing Dr. Buteyko’s technique (through a coach, book or watching videos) nearly all areas of health can be improved.
Biofield tuning is a sound healing modality that helps relieve mental, emotional and physical stress. It is a targeting therapeutic system of the body using tuning forks. Biofield tuning provides targeting nervous system relaxation and alleviates a wide variety of health issues.

Reality becomes fantasy, or is that imagination turns into real life experience? I am fascinated by how
frequently the line between reality and fantasy is crossed in my writing practice. Writing romance
novels is an astonishing way to play with something from real life and turning it into something
fun, playful and perhaps a bit twisted. Read more
