Ignite Passion | Increase Your LifestyleIs your exercise a body fit?
Ever wonder why just about everybody at the gym looks so young? That’s because they are, chronologically. Of course, it’s one thing to exercise when you’re young, it’s another to stay as young with exercise.
Exercise, believe it or not, is the fastest way to balance body pH (essential for faster conditioning and weight loss without immune stress). Exercise , of course, is also the fastest way to imbalance body pH (and hammer the immune system). It all depends on whether your exercise is a partial body fit or an exact body fit. An exact body fit always restores acid-base equilibrium, and a partial body fit always disrupts the chemical balance.
All exercise stimulates nerves and glands to varying degrees, however unless you can systematically amplify circulation in the neural and endocrine centres in the correct sequence that eliminates competition for oxygen between tissues you can’t expect to equalize V02max in both small and large muscles throughout the body in minutes without disrupting body pH balance. Since the rest of the body doesn’t use up extra oxygen as fast as it gets it like muscle tissue does, deep organs provide a storehouse for oxygen reserves with an exact boy fit.
The degree to which your workout fits your body has a lot to do with how motivated we are to train hard and push ourselves for peak performance without getting old before our time. Of course the vast majority of the population don’t have the motivation to exercise nearly enough, and therefore still age just as fast. That’s the rub. How do we fit the body so comprehensively that we can participate safely in competitive sports without endangering our health, and yet exercise with the ease, speed, and energy to ignite passion for weight loss in a couch potato?
Fitness trainers, athletes, and industry leaders have no choice but to train rigorously for competition. Standard training utilizing Specific Adaptation to Imposted Demands (SAID) only fits the body to a certain point. SAID conditioning is only a partial fit, and that usually becomes very obvious around the age of about 35 when degeneration exceeds physical, emotional, and mental recovery. If we don’t want normal day-to-day tension or sports and exercise training to dampen our spirits and damage our results, we need to consciously take over where our body leaves off.
A slightly alkaline body pH chemistry is required for cells to fire at maximum capacity (which they like to do). That’s what keeps both brain and body in a state of rejuvenation at any age. In addition, the integrative anti-aging effect of sustaining all-day acid base equilibrium in the body also has a lot to do with the ongoing development of our mind. Although metabolic rate will go up with any kind of exercise that gets the heart pumping, it will also disrupt our chemical balance as soon as breathing quickens. It takes specialized exercise design engineering to fit the body at that deeper physiological level, ionic-ally. What is, is, and similar doesn’t cut it.
Since aerobic homeostatic Peak Metabolic Potential™ (PMP™) cannot be achieved with a partial body fit, and since physical, emotional and mental stress accelerates acid degeneration, exercise not only needs to put all muscle groups into balance, it also needs to alkalize the pH acidity of blood and cellular fluid if it is to be an exact body fit at the DNA level. It’s impossible for the human organism to sustain PMP acid-base equilibrium if we want to go beyond the limits of what nature provides (even with the best genes). To compress restoration of chemical balance into minutes we need to accelerate the speed of oxygen balance in all tissues disrupted by any stressful activity, including exercise.
Even the most well thought-out fitness program tailored to your individual needs cannot normalize metabolic pH fast enough to be sustainable long term without including this element. The good news is that simply by adding a warm-up cool down that fits the body exactly you can neutralize body pH acidity which otherwise takes the kidneys hours of not days (the natural default of ‘no pain no gain’ SAID conditioning). You will not believe it till you experience an exact body fit - the usual soreness and stiffness after a good workout disappears as if by magic. The technique is now available, easily accessible, and you may as well use it if you’re serious about what you’re doing.
The more comprehensively a program of physical exercise fits the body, the more enjoyable. When homeostasis, usually disrupted by exercise stress, is sustained even as heart rate reaches training levels, the result is restoration of chemical balance. The physiologic laws for compression of pH fitness into minutes are very precise. If you have a passion for accomplishment you’ll no doubt want to learn more about how the three-in-one Body’Fit pHx™ warm-up cool down workout achieves this feat fast. Build your knowledge.
No pH Fitness, No Health Fitness
Unlike North America, farmers in India eat what they grow. And when they see their family’s health degenerate first hand, trapped in GMO contracts and debt, they’ve been committing suicide at a most alarming rate of one every thirty minutes.
Any unnatural substance will disrupt chemical equilibrium making normally alkaline blood and cellular fluid, acidic. Health depends on the interrelation of all the organs and systems of the body under conditions of pH balance. Neural-endocrine-organ imbalances caused by body pH acidity are compounded by hormonal and nutritional deficiencies. This contributes to poor self confidence, low motivation and a negative mood, and the resulting cellular inflammation is a common link among leading causes of death. Inflammation also plays a role in how fast you can lose fat and gain muscle.
Abstract: Stress, Food, and Inflammation: Psychoneuroimmunology and Nutrition at the Cutting Edge, by Janic K. Kiecolt-Glaser, PhD
As the author point out, if the contributions of diet, physical/ emotional/ mental stress, and behavior to inflammation were simply additive, they would be important. However, several far more intriguing interactive factors include: how stress influences food choices; stress can enhance maladaptive metabolic responses to unhealthy meals; plus acidic exercise and diet can affect mood as well as proinflammatory responses to stressors.
Mechanistic studies have shown how various components can modulate key pathways to inflammation, including sympathetic activity, oxidative stress, and proinflammatory cytokine production. Behavioral studies have demonstrated that stressful events and depression can also influence inflammation through these same processes.
Furthermore, because the vagus nerve innervates tissues involved in the digestion, absorption, and metabolism of nutrients, vagal activation can directly and profoundly influence metabolic responses to food, as well as inflammation; in turn, both depression and stress have well-documented negative effects on vagal activation, contributing to the lively interplay between the brain and the gut.
How can we get more out of both exercise training and nutritional protocols? An example In terms of diet, omega-3 fatty acid intake can boost mood and vagal tone, dampen responses to endotoxin, and modulate the magnitude of inflammatory responses to stressors that imbalance body chemistry. An exercise system for pH fitness needs to open up deep body circulation, and balance hormones at a homeostatic Peak Metabolic Potential™ faster than the kidneys can. The natural laws for movement and breathing that balances VO2max in all muscle groups and distributes oxygen and electrolytes to all tissues without huffing and puffing at any intensity are very precise.
Exercise designed to stimulates ionic energy that flows along meridians and just under the skin helps prevent the immune stress that promotes proinflammatory cytokine production. In addition to awakening the vagal brain gut connection quickly within in minutes, it’s necessary to trigger the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems sequentially to mitigate cortisol stress if we are to enhance recovery from pH acidity necessary for faster muscle building, restoration of emotional balance, and awakening of cognitive faculties.

A shift in paradigm paradox
It’s funny isn’t it, how we’ve been so quick to accept the status quo even though we know it’s not working, and yet so reticent to champion change even if more reasonable. This puzzling phenomena of defaulting to the lowest common denominator and adamant opposition to anything else (even though we might choose differently if we really thought it through) has a commonality that points to the cause, doesn’t it. Thought, or rather the lack of comprehensive thought.
Disconnected fragmented logic produces an odd resistance, for example we go to great lengths to handle passive aggressive vagrants and petty criminals with kid gloves (even permitting possession of stolen shopping carts), and yet we’ve been loathe to extend respect to peaceful demonstrators with a higher aim in life. Even if it’s meant sacrificing our own democratic rights and freedoms, and sometimes to the point of tolerating police brutality. Could this be why as a society we’ve paradoxically defended environmental pollution, treated our own bodies as toxic dumps, criticized those who regard the truth as constructive and praised the harbingers of lies and deception?
Acting on beliefs short circuits the cycle of a complete thought, and therefore takes very little effort. It’s already wired in, usually since early childhood, and perpetuated by movies and media to keep us all thinking the same way, yes a culture of bots (thanks to Steve Jobs Pixar Disney at least isn’t a fake; even Twitter has become inundated with phoney followers in recent weeks, notice that.) The synapses have fired so many times those neural pathways have become engrained, fully automated, and usually, most unfortunately unconscious. So it’s accepted as the norm without question.
It takes will power, spirit, to ‘think different’. Fulfillment of our true potential depends on the freedom to do so, it is innate to the well being of humankind. Fear of slipping to bottom of the heap has tended to replace honesty with nicety, and we’ve largely ignored the reconciling of cognitive dissonance, a shift in paradigm. The result of a shift is more enjoyable albeit much more difficult to achieve. It’s on that pain/ pleasure interface where brain and body literally have to develop new connections to accommodate innovative ideas that match pre-established whole cycles of reality rather than narrow mental constructs. There’s certainly a growing body of scientific evidence to support this: How can we begin to think different? It isn’t merely mental cleverness. A small internal shift can have a big external influence, I’ve found, however what’s necessary is a body fit that raises metabolic rate without imbalancing chemical pH harmonizing thought process with emotional understanding rooted in the heart. And that’s not easy is it, especially in this day and age without contemporary tools relevant to the technological mind.
An Effective Brainwashing Technique
A simple psychological research test reveals a wealth of information about how our mind can play tricks on us.
Participants were given a very monotonous meaningless task to perform and then given monetary incentive to lie to the next person in line that it was a very interesting task. Amazingly those least compensated actually came to believe their own lie, and most strongly defended the boring task. Transgression of integrity was the most easily denied by those who were paid the least, and ratiomalized by those who felt they had a solid financial reason to tell a lie.
This gives us insight into why people believe whatever they’re told if the truth is too painful to admit. Focus on the real issues threatens the comfort of denial, and so we divert our eyes. As long as we’re asleep to the perilous state of democracy we prefer any petty distraction to doing our homework. And that plays right into the hands of destructive powers which exist only if we naively believe everything we hear on TV or read in the newspaper, without question.
Of course when we’re aware of how the mind works it’s much easier to catch ourselves. Unless of course our neural networks are completely anesthetized with fear, guilt, etc., then we’re susceptible and vulnerable, with no protection whatsoever from white-washing. It does happen, as we’ve seen during the events following Occupy Wall Street. We need to be fully awake don’t we, to detect the telling inconsistencies that constitute today’s methods of manipulation. (It seems Edgar Hoover’s soulless dynasty has virtually cut out authentic Charlie Chaplin Hollywood; ever notice there’s no watchable new movies on iTunes lately, and where are all the real stars? Few and far between, and honestly I don’t see any who haven’t been compromised; Jim Carrey’s latest movie subvertly poking fun at Chaplin is the icing on the cake. I actually bought if for a minute, didn’t you? Although it’s interesting since posting this link on Twitter there’s a couple of Chaplin movies for rent without having to buy – rather obtuse but an improvement nonetheless.)
If video doesn’t appear then it’s been tampered with, and blog security has been breached.
Here’s an example from youtube: Are these legitimate Occupiersor simply infiltrators wearing cloaks of peace and pacificity carrying bags of money and bribes? Analyzing the discrepancies between Occupy protestors and impostors helps us to uncover the truth we sense instinctively.
If we observe the general demeanour of the three people in the video we see they are all the same, the sunglasses, the clothing, and they’re so accustomed to having their needs cared for they don”t realize they stand out In the crowd. Listen closely, their turn of phrase is more of a certain segment of American urbanite than Canadian. We don”t talk like that. And it’s certainly not characteristic of the group at Occupy Vancouver. How else can you tell if they’re ligit, or not? The police are lining up for their fancy pamphlets, and they’ve been well publicized by mainstream media.
However the kicker is the content of their message. They begin by setting the stage with a wishy washy pose they believe aligns with the peaceful milieu, except their exaggerated stance belies their intent. Each of the three pretenders has their own specialty, and this clues us in that they haven’t been randomly picked for the job. The real give-away is the third speaker who delivers the punch and divulges the agenda by introducing the concept of “privatization” as the economic future. This is in contrast to the interview by the award-winning journalist at Democracy Now where privatization of public domain is precisely identified as the cover by which our inalienable rights and freedoms are eroded. Rhetoric about how the 99% are suffering at the hands of inept government bureaucracy rounds out the package presumably making military takeover by security forces, worldwide, more socially acceptable.
Apple Famine in Midst of Plenty
Apples, apples, everywhere, and not a single one to eat. The certification standards are anything but foolproof, in fact you’d think they were out to fool YOU. Conventional, certified organic, imported, local, it’s been a bumper crop this year, yet every variety of crisp and crunchy apple has been rendered inedible. At least that’s the case here. What’s happened to all the apples, how could we let an apple famine happen?
The latest miracle chemical is said to be safe even natural of course, as has become all too commonplace, the criteria for safe didn’t include so called ‘side’ effects like muscle cramps, blurred vision, joint pain, etc. Every three months a whole slew of new additives is approved, and if body awareness, observation and experience are any indication, this last round has been a doozy.
The breakdown in the culture is not with the farmers and retailers who have a long standing commitment to safe clean and unadulterated food, it seems to be with the middleman: the shipping, handling, and packaging moguls. It makes you wonder, has this been done intentionally to keep targeted populations repressible, are they being paid off, or is it simply complete unconsciousness or even insanity?
Certainly our inability to reason logically in terms of the big picture is not helping. Plus money to pay off our bottomless debt (there’s not enough money in it for some if it can’t be patented) has to come from somewhere. But it goes deeper than that, doesn’t it? Our debt-based money supply is set up for reason, much more nefarious than simple greed which in a laissez faire market can usually be rectified. The resulting polarization is a necessary adjunct for power moguls and monopolies seeking control over the rights and freedoms of others.
Power in the hands of a few (could even be benevolent) is ultimately expressed as repression of the many, where the reality of equality in the structure of the human psyche eventually forces a conflict. It’s no wonder people are rising up, awakening, chiding tyranny. It takes courage, willpower and strength to take a stand. Seeing the effort through to real sustainable change requires passion, and that takes a healthy mind and body, which to a large extent depends on availability of clean food, air, and water.
If you haven’t been feeling 100% lately you’re not alone; it’s no secret that there’s a famine of health out there. Be wary of berries, fruit, vegetables including lettuce, almost everything’s been compromized poisoned really. Flour is a real problem. Whole grain needs to be washed with hydrogen peroxide then dried and ground in a flour mill by hand if you want to avoid at least some of the neuro-active toxins. Of course if chickens eat the grain the contaminants transfer to the eggs too. Try to source a bio-dynamic food supply from local growers, get to know a farmer who doesn’t put any allowable chemicals on their crop pre and post harvest, or try imported food that doesn’t enter the US before being shipped to your area.
Why have we insisted on doing this to ourselves ad nauseum; this is the pressing question of our times isn’t it? Scientific, judicial, and social processes have become corruptible in the last few years especially. It would be naieve to believe that we can reach agreement on the problems or the solutions without a clear basis for understanding who we are as human beings. Social decay is pushing our internal evolution like never before. We need to wake up to what fits our body otherwise the perils that have threatened our health and well being cannot be overcome. Objective measurement of the possibilities of the psyche is required for full realization, and it’s easier when we know and understand the territory, exactly. Otherwise as we’ve seen, we end up back at square one during a most inopportune crisis when we don’t get it right.
True Wealth is a Body Fit
Mis-construed concepts of our collective minds always seem to get in the way of our freedom, don’t they… freedom to speak, freedom to realize our full potential, even freedom to move as we see fit. Does it mean that we have to stop thinking to gain our freedom? Actually it means we need to start thinking in terms of what fits the totality of who we are, instead of settling for what we think should fit us, culturally.
Steve Jobs never gave up on consciously seeking what fits us as human beings regardless of the obstacles in his way. He did accomplish that in terms of Apple technology because he was very outspoken and expected everyone in the company to be so too (whereas it’s usually considered insubordination). He knew it was the only way to cut through the crap and get to the truth of the customers experience and meets the needs of reality. The next frontier is awareness of what fits the parameters of health for body & mind, both. It’s an axiomatic truth that our brain must be developed to the support the completeness and perfection of a human being’s freedom and self realization.
Here’s an excerpt from The Art of Fitness, “Our body needs to be retrained to move healthy. It means, on a regular basis, moving your body the way it is designed to move, every muscle, every joint, with full range of motion, in every direction, at all speeds, performed with agility, power and grace.” How do we make sure we do this every day so we can enjoy sports and activities without injury? Even if you spent hours and hours a day, we may not put all the muscles and meridians into balance. To awaken the natural intelligence of the body otherwise inhibited by fascial adhesion and tension, the free flow of electrolytes along connective tissue under the skin and along lines that connect the organs must be intentionally promoted daily.
To do this we need to account for every aspect of physical movement, as well as every physiological aspect of body chemistry. Traditional methods usually take hours of daily practice to awaken the perfect pattern. How can we, say in 7 to 14 minutes achieve it without cortisol acid stress – remind the body of the completeness and perfection of its template. This is where our contemporary knowledge can improve on traditional disciplines like yoga and qi gong. So how do we synthesize traditional principles with our scientific understanding, so that once such a routine is performed each morning we really don’t have to think about our posture for the rest of the day?
If it really is a body fit the more you relax release and enjoy it the better it works without observable huffing and puffing at any speed. Personally I use Body’Fit pH Fitness exercise (short form… pHx), it conforms to principles of our perfect pattern so our body can once again think for itself according to its pre-established laws. Specific breathing matches oxygen needs precisely for each of the movements, which isolate muscle groups with ergonomic postures which safely and easily equalize VO2max throughout the body, without acidification of pH in blood and cellular fluid. Radical? Absolutely.
David Suzuki at Occupy
To his credit, David Suzuki did identify nature as the pre-established template for economic sanity. He pointed out that nature doesn’t adhere to man-made concepts in fulfilling it’s cycles of health and well being, and if something isn’t working we can and must change it. However David Suzuki’s address at Occupy Vancouver fell short of a solution in that, I’m sorry, but the circulation of money has never contributed to our problems, on the contrary. No generation can be blamed for spending too much, not even if baby boomers presented a convenient scapegoat for the one percent. The call to younger generations by David Suzuki to lower their sights, spend less and save more with a goodly sprinkle of altruism, is propagation of exactly the same self sacrificing scarcity mentality that’s brought about this historical moment of planetary crisis.
To say that we should only have what we need, not what we want, is simply not enough for human beings to fulfil their potential. When we hold the belief that everything is scarce, we must continue to produce more and more out of fear just to make money – EVEN IF WE DON’T WANT IT AND IT’S HARMFUL TO US. So it’s this unsustainable way in which we’ve made money, and how money has been put into circulation as debt only, to allow the one percent to get something (just about everything) for nothing, which ultimately blocks unrestricted distribution of wealth. The bare essentials of survival may work for lower animals, however the moment increase stops in our lives, death and dissolution immediately set in.
To be fully human we must also have the freedom to determine our destiny and explore, discover and fulfill the dreams in our hearts; order without freedom is pointless. Evolution has provided for every human being to have everything we want. We live in a world of absolute abundance, there’s no need for repression. There’s enough wealth on this planet for everyone to have as many yachts as they want if that’s what we really want, but as things stand stagnant, symbolic of status, right now most people who own a yacht don’t ever hardly use it. (No one ever tells a tree to stop growing, it balances itself out. No one ever has to tell another species to control it’s population, it balances itself out. If we remember that we can all have what we want, there are too many yachts because only people who really loved yachting would own one, for a buzz of activity dockside.)
Unless you can use it for increase in your life, don’t plunder for the sake of status of ownership. Every room in the White House is used for example, but building a 35 thousand square foot mansion for two people who don’t actually use all the space except maybe once or twice a year for a party, is a problem because the resources aren’t being used for anyone’s increase. If every person who has 50 cars sitting in their garage, donated a Mazaradi or Ferrari to Zipcar, the shared-vehicle industry would explode. Driving a Lambourghini once or twice may be all that a lot of people want to experience, since it would give enough increase to move forward. Each time we experience an increase, it opens the door for more increase.
Restricting the possibilities of increase by corporately-funded policies eventually forces people into corner where the only option left is to Occupy public space. In my research I have found that some of the most brilliant young minds have staked their claim on democracy at Occupy Vancouver. The freedom stake-out community is constantly in committee developing and innovating; it’s an example of living democracy in action where the collective intelligence increases with a process where every voice can be heard independently. They’re attempting to define a method whereby what we choose. we choose together, consciously. Fortunately people have reached a level of evolution that they can achieve change peacefully without violence, as we saw in the Middle East when a government was overthrown by an internal commitment to unity in the hearts of it’s people.
Democratic Sensibility
This article appeared on the front page of The Vancouver Sun Wednesday, October 12, 2011, it opens with the following statement, “U.S. researchers warned Tuesday of an alarming link between vitamin E supplements and a 17-per-cent increased risk of prostate cancer, describing the findings as an “important public health concern”. With this study, supplements have now officially joined the ranks of hundres of thousands of synthesized and processed consumables on the market with known health risks.
So we’ve finally narrowed down the parameters for optimized nutrition to natural whole foods? Not quite. The other side of the equation is lack to freedom to consume one of the most important nutrient-dense foods available to us, i.e. natural non-pasteurized milk. This is the only form of milk with all of it’s inherent nutrients and enzymes intact as per proportions and combinations determined by evolution. Clearly we cannot fulfill our full potential for health without natural food. Without the free will choice to consume raw natural milk instead of cooked processed milk containing artificial supplements, the chances of minimizing our risk of cancer and other degenerative disease is diminshed. Does natural food really minimize the risk? Check this out.
While this is logical and reasonable to most of us as individuals, corporate bureaucracy has had another agenda altogether. How do we reconcile the massive contradiction that makes those products that actually can harm us readily available and legal, but not if something is naturally compatible with the human organism? Here’s a reduction to the ridiculous that may give some much needed perspective to the obscenity of criminalizing the availability of natural food. If all consumables are to be treated equally, then why not put a warning on all food including natural non-pasteurized milk, just like we do on cigarettes or any other hazardous substance.
“Warning: Regular Consumption of Natural Food may be Hazardous to your Health. All non-synthetic food (although even GMO synthetics) have the inherent characteristic of spoilage, handle with rubber gloves. Although nobody who’s ever dared to drink raw milk has died from it, and even more strangely attributed their family’s thriving health to it, be warned that we, the elite guardians of hapless consumers believe that, rightly or wrongly, the remote possibility exists that somebody, someday in the far away distant future, may get sick and subsequently die from its regular consumption even though it’s not poisonous, through their own negligence. Regular habitual consumption of non-pasteurized milk is at your own risk, and not to be sold to minors.”
If the only thing sacrosanct is the denial of the contradictions between the ideas construed by men and the reality of nature, then where has that left us? In a struggle to actualize truth in mind, heart and body against power without accountability. It’s becoming increasingly clear we won’t retain our inalienable right as free will beings to take care of our health and well-being according to the pre-established natural laws by which we’ve evolved, if we don’t succeed. What are you doing to make sure that those who need raw milk, who can only drink natural non-pasteurized milk, have the choice?
Steve Jobs Humanized Technology
Just as Mr. Kakehashi democratized music with digital interface Midi technology, and Meta Living Design is democratizing health fitness with body fit pHx* movement technology, Steve Jobs achieved the possibility of the democratization of communications with human compatible Apple computer technology. How did he do it? Accessibility, do-ability, and enjoyability are the keystones to serving the needs of the majority, that’s how Steve Jobs put Apple computers into our hands, literally.
I have to admit that I pre-judged Apple as representative of the effects technological speed has for increasing the sheer stress of obscurity, difficulty, and alienation from the very means that instead can allow us to survive and thrive as a human race. Rather than succumbing to the ego constructs of oppression/ enslavement, manipulation/ fragmentation, and depravity/ scarcity, or those elements that deconstruct society/ individuals as a fully functioning cohesive unit(y), during Steve Jobs astutely creative life, he accomplished the magical with computers that fulfill the needs of our body and psyche so precisely they’re now aesthetically pleasing, simple to use, with the possibility of being more private and secure.
Steve Jobs life’s work has given us the ability to keep abreast of technological change without enforcing mechanical machine-like behavior. Humanization of technology has made computers a thing of beauty to interact with, so enjoyable even children fall in love with them, and with the advent of iCloud we now have the possibility of completely securing our privacy, and protecting ourselves from every manner of marauding spy. Steve Jobs’ life has showed us what it means to be fully human.
