The processed foods have caused your body's nutritional system to become
clogged, confused, and locked into fat-storing mode. If you're like most people,
you've tried it all but nothing seems to work. Now it's time to find out why. If
you'll give us only 20 minutes of your time, we'll show you the truth about
weight loss in a form so compelling it can change your life.Most people who
struggle with an overweight condition blame themselves for lack of discipline or
willpower. While good eating habits are important, the real problem has to do
with a much larger issue, our food supply.Perhaps you can now understand your
challenge in a different light. Our processed and packaged food supply is
inundated with artificial chemicals that give the junk foods flavor, color,
sweetness, and a long shelf life. Over time, these chemicals build up in your
body causing your body's nutritional system to become confused, clogged, and
locked into fat-storing mode. The first step to healthy weight loss is cleansing
your body of these chemicals and understanding your body's need for fruits,
veggies, grains, nuts, seeds, and berries - otherwise known as whole foods.
We'll tell you more about our foods in a moment. First we need to untangle a few
of the "myths" and misunderstandings about losing weight - let's start with the
topic of skipping meals.One of the biggest mistakes you can make while trying to
lose weight is skipping meals. When you skip a meal, your body "thinks" that you
are starving. This is a built-in survival system that all of us have. When your
body "thinks" that you are starving, it makes two changes to protect you from
starving.First, it slows your metabolism causing your energy levels to drop. You
slow down and your body burns less fat. Secondly, the meal you eat after you
skip a meal will be converted almost entirely to fat and stored to protect you
from starving. If you skip breakfast, almost all of what you eat for lunch is
converted to fat. You think you?re taking in less food but in reality you?re
causing your body to store more fat.The solution is to eat small meals regularly
throughout the day, fueling your body with whole foods and water. Your
metabolism will increase, your stamina and endurance will increase, your
appetite will decrease, and your body will produce less fat while it burns more!
Your stomach will shrink back to it's normal size and a normal amount of food
will leave you feeling completely full and satisfied. Learn to ?listen? to your
body ? it knows what?s best for you. Eat whole foods and drink water when you?re
hungry and stop eating once your hunger is satisfied. Then repeat as necessary
throughout the day. It really is that simple!Another common mistake while trying
to lose weight is doing strenuous exercise.To create energy, your body burns fat
or it burns blood sugar (glucose), but it can?t burn them both at the same time.
When you?re not doing anything strenuous your body burns fat. When you exercise
into the aerobic zone (70% or more of your max. heart rate) your body will stop
burning fat and instantly begin to burn blood sugar ? because blood sugar can be
converted to energy much faster than fat.Aerobic exercise will burn fat ? but
only after you?ve depleted your available blood sugar ? which, for most people
takes at least 20 to 30 minutes of being in the aerobic zone. Countless
overweight individuals are on the exercise bikes and tread mills, pedaling and
running, until their heart almost pounds out of their chest but they are not
burning fat. The first 30 minutes only burns off blood sugar ? after that you?d
need another 30 minutes to burn any fat. Exercise equipment sales are on the
rise and so is obesity ? does that make sense to you?The truth? Walking is the
best type of exercise for healthy weight loss. Walking burns fat. Walking also
builds lean muscle which ?feeds? on the body?s excess fat. Walk daily, eat whole
foods, drink plenty of water, and turn your body into a healthy, energetic, fat
burning machine that incinerates fat 24 hours a day! Once you move closer to
your ideal weight, then adding some aeorbic exercise is a great way to maintain
your weight and support your heart, lungs, muscles, and circulatory system.Now
that you understand the real problem and know how to avoid the big mistakes -
You're on the path to weight loss success and healthy living.TOMORROW'S POST:
THE TRUTH ABOUT LOW FAT/LOW CARB DIETSWilliam Duda

http://utopianorganics.blogspot.com - River Birch Trees are fairly easy to
plant because they are fairly rugged and durable. Yet to plant or transplant
them you do need to follow some basic guidelines. Two of the best types or River
Birch trees are Dura Heat and Heritage River Birches. We have been growing River
Birch Trees for a number of years and offer these suggestions for planting in
Doylestown. All people handling Dura Heat and Heritage River Birches seedlings
and small trees need to help with the life support of your plants. Seedlings are
like fish out of water and need care which is often overlooked between the time
the seedlings are lifted and transplanted. Improper care means higher mortality.
Do not try and reinvent the wheel. You must protect seedling from moisture and
temperature extremes, as well as physical damage. Seedlings are living and
should be handled carefully. For a higher survival rate, treat trees carefully
and plant them immediately. I like to have a backup plan for planting if the
weather turns bad. I will sometimes switch from lining out the seedlings to
potting them up if I realize that the soil conditions will not be right for an
extended Length of time. If planting must be delayed a few days, keep the plants
in a cold, protected place with air circulation between the trees. Keep the Dura
Heat and Heritage River Birches trees out of the rain and wind. To check if the
trees need water, feel the media at the roots. If it isn't damp, water the trees
and allow the excess water to drain. In cool, damp weather, the biggest threat
to these trees is from mold. Try to keep out of soil seedlings moist by either
restricting water loss with a water vapor barrier or by wetting the roots at
regular intervals. While handling or planting try to reduce temperature and air
movement around the seedlings. Windy days can dry out seedlings so consider
waiting for calmer weather. Once your soil conditions are correct OUR FREE USE
PLANTERS will make planting a snap so its will be worth waiting for good
planting conditions. HOW TO PLANT Ideal planting days are cool and cloudy with
little or no wind. If possible, avoid planting on warm, windy days. The soil
should be moist not wet. Care in planting is more important than speed. Make
sure the roots are never allowed to become dry. Bare root seedlings should be
carried in a waterproof bag or bucket with plenty of moist material packed
around the roots to keep them damp. Ideally, bare root boxes should be kept
refrigerated or packed in ice or snow. Don't freeze the trees. Competition from
weeds, grass, brush or other trees is very detrimental to survival and growth of
seedlings. Choose areas free from this competition or clear at least a
three-foot square bare spot before planting. Seedlings should not be planted
under the crown of existing trees, or closer than 6 feet to existing brush.
Avoid areas near walnut trees. Brush aside loose organic material such as
leaves, grass, etc., from the planting spot to expose mineral soil. If organic
matter gets into the planting hole, it can decompose and leave air spaces. Roots
will dry out when they grow into these spaces. Open up the hole, making sure
the hole is deep enough for the roots to be fully extended. If roots are curled
or bunched up, the tree will not be able to take up water correctly, will often
weaken and die, or may blow down later due to poor root structure. Take a tree
out of your planting bag or bucket only after a hole is ready. When exposed, the
fine roots can dry out in as little as 30 seconds. Seedling shoots and roots
lose water to air, roots require more protecting.Unlike leaves ,they do not have
stomata (close-able openings on the surface of the leaves) or any waxy coatings
to help reduce water loss. If the Dura Heat and Heritage River Birches roots
feel dry they are probably dead. Now I know you are thinking,"I will place them
in a bucket of water and store them there until planting". This will not work.
Submerge plants for no longer that a couple of minutes. Placing them in water
cuts them off from oxygen. Remember to remove the container before planting a
containerized tree. A helpful hint to all those new gardeners just starting is
to remember to always plant green side up. Hold the seedling in place in the
hole, making sure the roots are straight, fully extended and that the tree is
neither too shallow or too deep in the hole. Fill hole, allowing soil to fall
in around the roots. Tamp with hands or with your heel. Don't crush the roots by
jumping up and down around the seedling like there is a snake curled up around
the seedling. It is delicate. Fill with more soil, if necessary, and tamp.
Tamping is important. If soil is not firmly packed around the roots, there will
be air pockets that can dry out the roots, and the seedlings may be weakly
anchored. It is far easier to plant the tree strait up then have the tree
leaning and have to adjust the tree later. (Addition of fertilizer and plant
vitamins at the time of planting is not generally necessary.) Take your time in
planting. Proper spacing will help you grow a more valuable crop. I have tried
to get more production from a limited area by over planting and then thinning,
but I always have had trouble in harvesting .... digging is slower and poor
quality usually results for a portion of the crop. Avoid these tree planting
errors: Tangled roots Planting too shallow Planting too deep Air pockets
Turned up roots (this is called J rooting) Planting trees that are not tolerant
of wet soils in poorly drained areas Planting over rocks, septic tanks and
leach fields, on sand mounds CARE OF TREES FOLLOWING PLANTING Check
periodically to be sure that brush, grass and other vegetation is kept under
control by mowing, mulching, spraying or a combination of these treatments.
Always obtain advice from a licensed pest control adviser before using
chemicals. You ag extension agency may offer courses in application of
chemicals. Monitoring the appearance of your trees will help you to detect signs
of insects, diseases or other problems. Appearances also help sell your product.
Look for foliage turning yellow, new foliage drooping or other signs of poor
health. It is easier to take successful corrective action if the problem is
detected early. Over watering is a common problem in irrigated plantations. You
probably won't need to water more frequently than every 7-10 days. Give your
trees a thorough, deep soak and then let the soil dry out before the next
watering. This encourages the roots to grow down in search of water. Frequent,
shallow watering encourages root growth near the surface and the trees are more
dependent on irrigation and are less windfirm. Animals can be a major cause of
damage to young trees. Porcupines, gophers, mice, rabbits, deer and cattle are
the most frequent source of damage. In many states you may have to call your
game commission and get their recommendations on legal methods to protect your
crop. In our state, you can get help from the Pa. Game Commission to kill deer
that are a threat to your seedlings or obtain a free fence to keep deer away
from your seedlings. Over the years we have lost more trees to mice than any
other animal. Put rat baits out on a regular basis. Over the years we have lost
more seedlings and plants to mice than any other culprit including deer and
rabbit ts combined. You an see more articles about the care of trees plants and
