lift and let the mind go silent

One of the best stress relieves in life is exercise. It's something that is accessible to everyone. You don't need a gym pass you can walk,run do push ups sit ups in your home or outside for FREE! NO CHARGE! people love free stuff right? SO WHY AREN'T PEOPLE DOING IT!? The reason why is because it's just to damn hard. People want to pop a pill and take a drink to get "results" those don't bring results it's a fantasy myth. You have to get the fabricated idea's that have been fed to you and tormenting your mind out of your head. Everyday you are being exposed to new drugs that "work", but do you believe they work? Do you think they are real? Have you ever read the label of these "magic pills?" Once you buy into their products your sold and usually there's no turning back and it becomes a huge money pit and your still not satisfied because your not eating right and filling your body with "drugs" from companies whom are not regulated by the FDA. There is however healthy none chemically compounded supplements such as amino acids and vitamins which come from natural sources. This far out ways the chemicals that people flood into there body unknowing of what the chemicals they are consuming even do or what the side effects are. READ labels before you eat and take supplements and do your research. Just because it's in a bottle doesn't mean it's good for you. Just because it's in a bottle doesn't mean it's going to do "magic".

Chicken Health Benefits

Carbohydrates, Calories and Fat
Chicken is a carbohydrate-free food. According to NutritionData, skinless chicken breast provides the least amount of calories and fat, about 143 calories, 3g total fat and 1g saturated fat for half of a large boneless, skinless breast, or a 95g serving. Dark meat is higher in fat. About 86g of dark meat without skin provides 165 calories and 8g total fat, 2g of which are saturated. This nutrition information is for chicken that has been stewed without added fat.
Vitamins
Chicken is a rich source of two B vitamins: niacin or vitamin B3 and vitamin B6. A 4-ounce portion meets 40 and 16 percent respectively of the recommended daily value, or DV. The most important function of niacin is in helping to release energy from carbohydrates. It also aids in the formation of red blood cells. The best food source of vitamin B6 is poultry. This nutrient performs the same functions as niacin but is also important for protein metabolism, is necessary for proper immune system function and helps produce certain neurotransmitters, or brain chemicals.
Minerals
A 4-ounce portion of chicken is also rich in two minerals, phosphorus and selenium, meeting 16 and 30 percent of the DV for each, respectively. Phosphorus is essential for healthy, strong bones and teeth and is a part of all cell membranes in the human body. This mineral also helps activate the B vitamins. Selenium is important for immune system function and aids in regulating the thyroid hormone.


Chicken is an excellent source of protein and low carb food.( Thus why fitness freaks and bodybuilders eat it heavily) Chicken along with fish and kangaroo are some of the only foods with high protein and low carbs. There's also not a lot of calories. Also very easy to cook and make if you have a George Foreman grill. It's something that I eat everyday.

something to think about

I strive more and more each day to constantly think about my reactions and actions towards every situation and every thought I have, and just how those thoughts and or actions can alter the very core of my being and the future that I will then face. I also think about how these things alter the paths of those around me as well, because we are linked in every way possible to those around us so we must realize this and think before we act or say when dealing with others. Though it may not seem much to us at the time, every little thing we do, say, or think alters not only our futures but those whose lives we touch as well. So let's stop judging one another, let's stop looking at one another different, let's stop dividing ourselves with our religions, political views, races, or whatever, and let's learn to love one another unconditionally as though we would love ourselves for the sake of our children's futures. Let's begin today to stop letting the choices of a few dictate the future of the many, and let's learn to control our hearts and minds using our thoughts for the greater good of every living thing on this planet! Together we can alter our future to a place only few of us could ever dream of, but together it will no longer be just a dream but the reality we all seek from within! I know in your hearts you didn't want to live as you do now consuming everything, destroying everything, stepping on others to get ahead, living with money as our rulers, ect....., but that you wanted to be free, happy, loved, to give love, and to shine from all your hearts from day to day! This is what we really are if we choose, but the choice between fear and love is yours and yours alone! But when making your choices that will alter our futures, remember that you are not alone in your feelings of anger towards all that is going on, you are not alone in your disgust with how things are being ran, you are not along in seeing the hate and lies being spread, and together through our unity through unconditional love we can change all of this! Together we can alter the future of our children, and we can create a better world for them as well. It may never be Utopia, but it can sure be more than it is now with less violence, hate, fear, and greed!

So I leave you with this “My life amounts to no more than one drop in a limitless ocean. Yet what is any ocean, but a multitude of drops?”
