The further we dig back in history, the more it seems that fasting has always been an important part of many cultures throughout the world. Fasting has been known for its spiritual value for ages, whether it was used as part of a purely spiritual path or as a religious ritual. There’s always been some mystical quality to fasting, something outside of our traditional range of awareness. Today, I’d like to dive into fasting and really explore its effects on the mind and body – and why its proven itself to be the most effective method of healing through the ages.

The most profound benefits of fasting come no doubt through the channel of the mind. While bodily benefits and physical healings can be astounding, the mental clarity and enhanced awareness brought on by fasting are the most valuable assets, in my personal opinion. Just imagine yourself waking up in the morning and downing that tall glass of water. You feel great, hydrated and clear-minded, right? Now if you go ahead and eat a breakfast loaded with sugar, you’ll start to feel the buzz of a sugar high, coupled with a loss of focus and concentration – a foggy mind. If you combine all sorts of foods together that don’t mix well, you’ll have chaos in your stomach and your mind! So what you eat does dramatically affect your mental faculties.

I’d be surprised if you said you haven’t heard at least one person mention the media coverage of superfoods like acai, pomegranate and raw chocolate (cacao). It’s almost been a frenzy lately, and more and more people are wondering how to make sense of it all. When we get down to it though, there’s really nothing crazy about it – rather, it all comes down to a simple understanding of antioxidants and their pivotal role in maintaining vibrant health, youth and longevity.

The antioxidants we get from our diet go to work in the body preventing oxidation of the cells. What does this mean? Read the rest of this entry »

Who could argue with the barefoot days of summer? Going barefoot has become synonymous with the feeling of freedom, ease, peace and simplicity. This seems to be the norm for young children playing outside, but somehow as many of us get older we lose touch with that barefoot playfulness. But what if we were to find out that being barefoot on the earth actually holds a number of absurdly powerful health benefits? Would it be worth a second look?

What we’ve now found out is that placing your bare skin directly on the earth physically grounds you. Wait, the same way buildings and appliances are “grounded”? Read the rest of this entry »

A few months back I listened to a fascinating audio interview with active longevity researcher David Wolfe. In the interview, he talked about several of the most important factors in living a long, healthy, fulfilling life. One of these factors, however, is something that most people have absolutely no idea about- and that factor is something called nerve vitality.

Nerve vitality is simply the health of our nerves- their ability to carry the impulses that allow us to “feel” and experience the world around us. What most people don’t know is that increasing your nerve vitality is one of the most powerful ways to secure a strong life of longevity! Read the rest of this entry »
