The Power of Food: How to Use Nutrition to Prevent and Reverse Disease
Food as Medicine: The Key to a Healthy Life A person who has developed north of millions of years, the best being in the realm of creation, a person who can be brought into the world as an individual and become God himself, a copy of the food he eats, what is fundamental for the cell that develops as a baby, a kid, arrives at development and turns into a grown-up, is food. That is the fundamental component of an up as an individual with the ability to overcome the world as blood, bone, cerebrum and muscle. An infant weighing 2.5-3.0 kg weighs 60-70 kg when of adulthood. The food we really want to keep up with weight isn't simply food, it is the material we want to keep ourselves in similar shape and structure in the midst of the consistent birth-demise of the body's billions of cells. Food is fundamental for day to day physical processes as well as unregulated capabilities like blood dissemination, pulse, breath, adrenal capability, discharge of chemicals, chemicals and so on.

Love, Peace and Freedom: 5 Minutes to Forgiveness For when you need an alternative to The Four Steps to Forgiveness. , it is mostly focussed on The Four Steps to Forgiveness. This has proved itself to be wonderfully effective in many people's lives. However, there are times when The Four Steps to Forgiveness is not applicable. We may want to work on Forgiveness while doing some kind of physical exercise (such as out walking or running), or we might not have the time or inclination to focus in-depth on a specific issue. We might want a forgiveness method we can use at the start of the day before we are really awake; or something we can use just before going to sleep and our mind has partly switched off. It can also be that we find ourselves in a bad mood and don't know why; or we may feel overwhelmed and confused, and don't know where to start with Forgiveness.

Self Worth, Self Esteem and Self Confidence
Self Worth, Self Esteem and Self Confidence Forgiveness boosts your Self Worth. Self Esteem and Self Confidence. Learning Forgiveness is an excellent way to improve yourself and increase your Self Worth, Self Esteem and Self Confidence. There are very clear reasons as to why this is the case. If a person is caught up in feelings of anger and resentment about the past because of what others have done to them, or is caught in guilt and shame because of mistakes they have made, then their ability to feel good about themselves is greatly reduced. It is also harder for them to feel good about the relationships they have had and to feel good about life in general. This reduces their capacity to achieve their full potential because their thoughts and feelings are caught up in the past.

Why Forgive ?
Forgiveness sets you free.When we understand the benefits which we gain from doing something, it is easier to get ourselves motivated to actually do it. It will help you to feel motivated to learn how to forgive, and to keep forgiving, if you understand the benefits that Forgiveness brings you.Some of the benefits that Forgiveness brings are very practical, whereas others could be considered "spiritual" benefits in the form of being morally "correct" and "proper". Sometimes people are challenged by the idea of doing forgiveness for practical reasons, rather than for "spiritual", or moral, reasons. It is good to know about the practical benefits of Forgiveness, because it is better to forgive to gain practical and materialistic benefits than to not forgive at all. Whatever causes a person to start on the path of Forgiveness is ultimately for the good, even if their motives are only practical and materialistic in the beginning.You benefit immensely when you choose to forgive and so does everyone around you. Whether you need to forgive others, or need to forgive yourself, doing so sets you free from the past and enables you to fulfill your true potential. Forgiveness allows you to break free from limiting beliefs and attitudes. It frees up your mental and emotional energies so that you can apply them to creating a better life, and so that you have more to offer.Forgiveness helps you achieve even your most practical and immediate goals. Perhaps you want a better job, to earn more money, have better relationships, or live in a nicer place. Forgiveness helps you achieve all of these. If you have not forgiven, then a part of your inner life energy is trapped in resentment, anger, pain, or suffering of some kind. This trapped life energy will limit you. It is like trying to ride a bicycle with the brakes partly on all the time. It slows you down, frustrates you and makes it difficult to move forward.The choices you make and the things that you believe are possible will all be influenced by the ways you have not forgiven. As you learn to forgive, the energy which was going into unhappy thoughts and feelings gets liberated and can flow into creating the life you want, rather than limiting you or creating more suffering.If you do not want to learn to forgive to benefit yourself; then learn to forgive so you can benefit others. As you learn to forgive, you benefit everyone you are in contact with. Your thinking will be clearer and more positive than before. You will have a lot more to give, and you will more readily enjoy sharing what you have. You will naturally and easily become kinder, more generous and more caring of others, without having to struggle to achieve this. You will have a happier and more positive attitude to the people in your life, and they will respond more positively to you in return.Is a forgiving person more pleasant to spend time with than an unforgiving one? Yes, of course they are. A forgiving person is always much more pleasant to be around than an unforgiving one. The quality of your life depends on the quality of your relationships. Every aspect of your life will change for the better as you learn to forgive; whether in your family, your work life, or your social life. Learning to forgive will improve all your relationships, because your attitude will improve. As your relationships improve, then all aspects of your life will also improve.If you want to move up to the next level of financial abundance and success, Forgiveness will help you achieve it. For example, if you want more money in your life, you need to make sure that you do not resent people who have more money than you. People with more money than you are the ones best placed to help you have more money too. If, as some people do, you resent "people with money," then they will not be able to help you because you are not open to them while you are busy resenting them. Likewise, if you have a positive attitude to people who are more successful than you (you smile at them rather than scowl at them), they will see you as approachable and will more likely want to work with you, or socialize with you.

Hanging threads
Chimene fell face down onto the pile of sticks strewn carelessly by the servants of Akitaka, the only beings who dared come this far to get firewood. His clothes lay torn here and there, scratched by hanging brambles that had overtaken the narrow forest path. He had tumbled upon an upended root, having been blinded by the tears that cascaded down his face as he ran away from all that haunted his soul.He raised his head, and looked around. Only then did he hear the sounds, the heartbeat of Achiwata. It hit him almost at once, how far into the forest he had crawled. Huge tree trunks loomed before him, many of them, threateningly tall. They towered into the sky, blotting out the moon with leaves as broad as the fishermen’s canoes back in the hamlet. Dusk had since fallen, welcoming the croaks and hisses that reverberated all around him. Chimene pushed himself to his knees. Holding his head in his hands, he wailed; a thin cry that sent a chill into the forest, for all suddenly became still. As still as a graveyard.“What have I done?” he wailed.“My fathers, what have I done?—” he sniveled, wiping the mucus from his nose with his shirt. He winced as fresh pain erupted from the cuts on his arm. The blood flowed freely, sticking his shirt to his skin.Exhausted, Chimene sat on the pile of sticks and looked up.“Rekiya!” He screamed. “Rekiya! Why Rekiya. Why?” He convulsed as spasm after spasm wracked his midget frame. Then he broke into sobs, heart rending sounds which filled the night with agony. The crickets and frogs had since moved away from the intruder, finding their mates in safer creeks. He was a being of the darkness, so dark that every other creature gave him a distance.From the undergrowth to Chimene’s right came the unmistakable sound of drumming, ominous sounds which soon filled the night, ricocheting off the barks of the forest trees—Akitaka and his minions were on their way.The drumbeat was unmistakable. Many a night the villagers of Achiwata cowered in fear at the sound of this very drum, which travelled far whenever nemesis came calling. But tonight Chimene was far from scared. He was prepared to face Akitaka and the judgement he deserved.He closed his eyes and beheld her beautiful face, her catch-me-if you-can looks, her rapturous smile, her gracious walk, which swung her hips to the envy of the world.Rekiya . . .He had indeed been a lucky man, until he became a willing tool, falling for the darkness that had long paraded his home. The events rolled to the fore, unabated by his weak will power to stem them at bay . . .“Wake up.” Her voice like always roused him from his slumber quickly.He yawned, stretching like an overfed cat. He blinked his eyes at the afternoon sun filtering through the leaves of the Olihor tree under which he slept.She stood beside him, smiling, a blue wrapper tied securely around her chest. Her neck was well powdered, the scented treatment that lessened the effects of the burning sun on her skin which Chimene often times, likened to that of a child.“You haven’t forgotten the meeting with the elders over the land dispute in Akuta, have you?”“Oh!” Chimene jumped up from the bench, sleep vanishing from his eyes.“What time is it?”“The sun has long rested upon our roof.” she cooed.“Ah! I must be late already. Please go fetch my shirt. I’ll leave at once.”Rekiya hurried into the adjacent hut, her hips swinging furiously against the loose fabric of her cloth. Chimene’s thin lips curved upwards exposing a set of tobacco stained teeth.“Chei!” he whispered. How he managed to woo and marry Rekiya was still a mystery to him. Money answers all things, his friend Juma had intermittently teased him. Chimene was short and burly, with arms, thick like a bears and lips thin as blades. He had the face of one who had suffered countless rains and suns, dry skin, smoothed over his cheekbones, leaving him with hollow eyes and a gaunt expression. His gait, skin colour and profession had earned him the nickname of devilhunter. He owned lands and lands, which stretched beyond the Orlu River, recompense of his skill and fortune as the bravest and most successful hunter in all of Achiwata.Rekiya ran out holding his shirt.“Thank you my darling.” He stroked the long black locks of her hair. “I’ll be back before nightfall.” And he was gone, hurrying across the sand to Akuta. Rekiya had really changed, he thought happily. She was livelier, much more attentive to his every day needs, especially his outings. She never failed to remind him of his appointments and meetings, a development which caused him immense joy.The meeting in Akuta ended rather quickly. It had barely begun than it came to an abrupt end. The attention of the presiding Chief was needed in his Obi.Chimene hurried home, thoughts of Rekiya burning holes in his head.The sun had burned itself out when he got back to his hut. He placed his hands on the raffia curtains making a divide for him to go through when suddenly, he stopped and gazed into the distant sky. Tonight would be perfect for a hunt, he thought, relishing the thought of the familiar thrill that enscounced his being when killing his prey. He licked his lips and stepped into his hut.At first he thought he had walked into another man’s Obi. But then his eyes quickly adjusted to the darkness. He was in his home alright. He heard the sounds first: Rekiya’s moans, the distinctive grunt of pleasure that filled his ears whenever his tongue lingered too long around her ear lobes. Then he heard the sigh, the familiar sigh she affected when his thrust suspended her above Achiwata and her cares.Then he saw her. The two nubile forms on his bed lay entwined like a pair of snakes. They had not heard him come. He heard a whisper. He wrinkled his nostrils at the stale smell of sweat. His insides churned. His fists became iron balls. Then he heard a giggle. A loud moan.Another sigh.And he had snapped.Chimene stared at his blood stained hands. The drumming had grown dangerously close. He wasn’t scared. Nothing mattered, not anymore. He lay on the cold forest floor, seeing her bright eyes in the gloom, taunting him, calling to him. But none of it mattered to him. He was a murderer, and Akitaka was his nemesis.The drums hit a crescendo and a loud hush suddenly fell.

THE INTERVIEW
Wara walked along the dusty kerb, moving briskly towards the bus-stop. Today was surely not an ordinary day. Today marked the beginning of the future as far as he was concerned. He had been handed a lifeline from above and by no means was he going to jeopardise it. He straightened his tie and held on more firmly to the battered briefcase. In it were the soiled yellowed papers he carried around. They consisted of his CV as well as other official papers. He raised his chin as he widened his strides. He wasn’t going to lose the job. He had waited almost two years for it.
