TAKE MY BREATH AWAY AS SUNG BY PRETTY JEAN: YOUR LIVE ONLINE TRAINER-TEACHER-TUTOR

Chorus:]
Watching every motion in my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean finally lovers know no shame
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn around and say

Take my breath away [Repeat: x1]

Watching I keep waiting still anticipating love
Never hesitating to become the fated ones
Turning and returning to some secret place to hide
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

Take my breath away

Through the hourglass I saw you, in time you slipped away
When the mirror crashed I called you, and turned to hear you say
If only for today I am unafraid

Take my breath away [Repeat: x1]

[Chorus]
Watching every motion in this foolish lover's game
Haunted by the notion somewhere there's a love in flames
Turning and returning to some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion as you turn to me and say

Take my breath away
My love, take my breath away...

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE....

People respect me.
My classmates from elementary to my M.A. classes look up to me up to these days.
I am also respected in the world of education, though I have not done much yet but I have already established and created my unique image and personality. I have already proven my abilities. 

But what people don't know about me is I have been exposed to domestic violence from childhood up to this moment.

I thought I have already graduated from this chaotic and hostile living, but I am wrong. I married a man who's more than a gay, a nagger, and a man who loves using invective words to insult me and disgrace me all the years of our marriage. Even in front of people, my clients, and my students, he shouts at me and treats me like an animal. He batters me every day with violent and brutal words even if I have been trying to be a good wife and to be understanding.

I'm a career woman, an entrepreneur, a professional, a scholar when I was still studying, a summa cum laude, a medalist, a champion in all contests that I joined in, but I am a loser when it comes to love.

This man always persecutes me. He always has dark thoughts about me. MY DEDICATION TO MY GOD AND TO MY CHURCH DUTIES HAVE BEEN QUESTIONED BY THIS MAN. 

This evening, September 4th, 2012, after all my classes and all my work here in my place as a tutor, an online teacher, a trainer, a housekeeper, a dishwasher, a laundress, a janitress, a carpenter, a cook,a businesswoman, a researcher, a writer, a gardener, a blogger, and everything that I always do as a person, I needed to attend to my CHURCH DUTIES which I have been doing since I was a child. I thought this man already understood me because I have been telling him that we need to assist our trainees for indoctrination. BUT TO MY DISMAY, WHILE THIS MAN WAS DRIVING MY OWN L300 VAN ON OUR WAY TO FETCHING OUR TRAINEES, HE SHOUTED AT ME AGAIN. MY EARS WERE DAMAGED AGAIN BECAUSE OF HIS VOICE. 

Imagine when a 176 feet tall man shouts at you inside a close van. What do you think will happen to you especially if he shouts at the top of his voice? And that's what he did. He shouted at the top of his voice. So my eardrums are shaken again.

He always tells me that I ALWAYS TELL HIM EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON WITH ME ESPECIALLY WHEN I DO INVITE PEOPLE FOR THE INDOCTRINATION. HE SAYS THAT ALL MY ACTIVITIES IRRITATE HIM. HE SAYS THAT I SHOULD NOT TELL HIM EVERYTHING THAT I DO.

He keeps on telling me that I HAVE SOMEBODY IN THE CHURCH THAT I NEED TO SEE EVERY NIGHT. He keeps on telling me that I AM ALWAYS UNEASY WITHOUT ANY GUESTS FOR INDOCTRINATION. He keeps on telling me that I WANT TO BE FAMOUS SO I NEED TO GO TO CHURCH EVERY NIGHT.

ALL THESE WORDS HURT ME SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BADLY THAT PROMPTED ME TO BREAK MY SILENCE SINCE 1991, THE TIME I TIED A KNOT WITH HIM, NEVER KNOWING THAT MY LIFE WITH HIM WILL BE A HELL. THOUGH HE GOES TO CHURCH, BUT WHEN HE COMES HOME, HE DOESN'T REALLY APPLY AND DOESN'T REALLY IMPLEMENT ALL THE WORDS OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE BIBLE.

AFTER 21 YEARS OF LIVING WITH THIS DEVILISH MAN, I WANT TO PUT EVERYTHING IN RECORD ALL THE THINGS THAT HE HAS BEEN DOING TO ME ALL THROUGH THESE YEARS. NEVER IN MY LIFE I CELEBRATE OUR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. NEVER I BECOME THANKFUL OF HIS PRESENCE IN MY LIFE. MY LIFE HAS BEEN A HELL, WHY SHOULD I BE THANKFUL?

HE ONLY TREATS ME WELL WHEN HE NEEDS TO ASK MONEY FROM ME. AM I A SUGAR MOMMY? I AM TOO YOUNG TO BE ONE.

IMAGINE, I WAS BORN WITH A CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE, WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A KIDNEY FAILURE IN 1983, AND HAS BEEN SUFFERING FROM MYOMA AND FOOD ALLERGIES, BUT THIS MAN NEVER THINKS OF MY HEALTH CONDITIONS. 

BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WORKING SO HARD SINCE I WAS A CHILD, HE THINKS THAT I DON'T GET TIRED.
BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN SMILING AND HAVE BEEN ENJOYING MY TIME WITH MY CLIENTS AND STUDENTS, THIS MAN THINKS THAT I AM A ROBOT, THAT I SHOULD NOT TAKE A REST IN MY LIFE. BECAUSE I ENJOY FOLLOWING THE WORDS OF GOD, HE THINKS THAT I AM SEEING SOMEBODY.

Whenever he doesn't have money, he always nags me. As if it is my duty to earn a living. HE IS NOT A GOOD PROVIDER SO I NEED TO WORK VERY, VERY HARD TO MAINTAIN MY GOOD LIFE WHICH HE ALSO ENJOYS. BUT HE NEVER APPRECIATES ALL THE GOOD THINGS THAT I HAVE BEEN DOING FOR HIM. I HAVE BEEN A GOOD PROVIDER FOR HIM. EVEN IF HE HAS A GOOD JOB, HE STILL DEPENDS ON ME FOR HIS DAILY ALLOWANCES.

Last month, August 2012, he told em NOT TO USE HIS NAME IN EVERYTHING THAT I DO BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN DISGRACING HIS NAME. WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? SO I CHANGED MY NAME TO MY MAIDEN NAME AGAIN. SO EVERY TIME I SEE MY FACEBOOK ACCOUNT, I ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT HE TOLD ME. AM I A WHORE WHO DISGRACES HIM? WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT AGAIN?

Because of his devilish attitudes, I prefer not to have ANY kids with him. AND NOW, I PREFER TO BE ALONE THAN TO LIVE WITH HIM ALL MY LIFE BECAUSE EVEN IF HE LIVES WITH ME, HE DOESN'T TAKE CARE OF ME. HE JUST USES ME TO GET WHAT HE WANTS.

HOLD ME TIGHT....

My prayer to the Almighty today and always!

I AM TOTALLY DOWN....

FATHER, I AM COMPLETELY DEAD......

ANOTHER HOPE, ANOTHER DAY...............

I AM TRULY BLEST....

MY SOLEMN VOW

FEEL COLD AND ALONE?

A BEAUTIFUL LOVELY DAY!

WONDERFUL MAGICAL SUNDAY.....

GOOD AFTERNOON WISHES!

MY PRAYERS ARE HEARD....

MY ALMIGHTY FATHER.....

BFFL!

SINCERE APOLOGIES...............

A BEAUTIFUL RELAXING SUNDAY ....

GOOD WAYS TO STRENGTHEN MY VOICE

HERE are some tips from the experts which I need to blog so I won't forget them. I wanna sing smoothly during our church worship services. And I wanna be more professional this time so I can give glory to my Father in Heaven. 

 1. RAW EGG ISN'T GOOD FOR VOICE

This excerpt tells us that eating raw eggs before singing is a big no no!

by MagDeee on February 8th, 2011

It's more the food you need to avoid :) Dairy products are to be avoided before singing, same goes for nuts, chocolate, anything that sticks to your throat, just use common sense. Honey and lemon juice are used as helpers when you have a cold and your throat is irritated, but no food "improves" your voice. proper vocal technique teaches you how to use your instrument to avoid tension and abusing your vocal chords and not food. the raw egg myth actually hurts more than helps as it's sticky in your throat and glues the vocal chords together preventing them from oscillating properly. if you have frequent throat problems firstly - go to a good vocal coach in your area or over skype and go to a doctor to have a look at your vocal chords and throat, if you need to fight vocal tiredness quickly use some honey but way before singing and wash it down with water, also many vocalists use A + E vitamin drops in their throats, but that is at the discretion of your doctor. Overdosing of those vitamins is dangerous.

The reason you are having so much trouble is that you are simply trying too hard and no using your diaphram! You vocal cords should be like the bow on a violin: it is why the music plays, but the sound comes from the instrument itself!

Here are some good tips:
Try laying on your back on the floor and taking nice beep breaths from the mid section, between your chest and stomach. Feel the air rise in and out. Do this and practice it for a few minutes before trying to sing.
Start with simple stuff first, while still lying down : Do Re Mi...

Remember that loud isn't always best and the more you practice, the better you will become and the more strength your vocal cords will get, just like exercising your muscles!
Sounds like you are trying to be loud, but you need to focus on quality, no quantity.
Try drinking water with a very light touch of lemon in it between practicing. It helps clear out mucus and other things that could be effecting your voice.
Beware that even the most experienced singers lose thier voice from simply just singing too much. Don't overdo it! When you feel that you voice is scratching, take a break. Nothing wrong with it. A lot of singers do this.
RELAX!!! Dont' try too hard. Feel the music inside of you. You can do this, it just takes practice and time. Don't try to hit notes that make you strain. If you are trying to sing like a certain artist, pick one that is close to your vocal range and keep in mind that it takes tons of practice to get where they are. It's not an overnight thing for most to be accomplished singers. If the natural ability is there, nothing can hold you back. Good Luck!

MY PREDICTION FOR JESSICA SANCHEZ BEFORE THE AMERICAN IDOL FINALE

This is what I wrote on April 27th, 2012 before the American Idol Season 11 came to it's finale.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cm0_XHkeous 

" NOT MY CUP OF TEA...NOT MY BET FOR THE AMERICAN IDOL....SHE HAS LOTS OF VIBRATIONS....HER TIMBRE OF VOICE ISN'T CAPTIVATING ENOUGH TO CAPTURE ME AND MY INTEREST IN MUSIC...NO ORIGINALITY...SHE JUST COPIED HER STYLE...BUT SHE CAN'T REPLACE WHITNEY HOUSTON....AMERICAN IDOL HAS LOST ITS GLORY, I GUESS, IT'S UNLIKE  BEFORE "

I saw her sang in the boxing bout of Pacquiao-Bradley on June 10th, 2012, Sunday here in the Philippines. She sang the American National Anthem, and it was a very good rendition.
 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-LlI7_dSWY

Her rendition of the The Star Spangled Banner in this video is different from the one that she did in the boxing bout of Pacquiao-Bradley on June 10th, 2012.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leykhpZD02U&feature=endscreen&NR=1

Definitely, he voice and style changed after the finale of the American Idol to prove to the world that she could be the title holder of the American contest. 


But my instinct can't fool me. When I heard her sing this, I said to my self, she couldn't be the winner of the American Idol Season 11. Note of the last note of the song. She's off and out of tune.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kPX-H3KGjJI

The above rendition isn't really captivating, not the same as she did with the "The Star Spangled Banner". 

I heard her tribute to Whitney Houston and I also liked her rendition.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0DPbGP6O6O8 

But the songs she chose for her American Idol competition weren't all fitted to her so she didn't win the title. So Phillip Phillips won the title because of his versatility and natural singing talent and skills.

MY PSYCHIC PROWESS

 
The online dictionary defines ''prowess'' as :

prowess (noun)  skill, ability, talent, expertise, facility, command, genius, excellence, accomplishment, mastery, attainment, aptitude, dexterity, adroitness, adeptness, expertness

The online dictionary gives a definition of ''psychic'' as :

psychic [ˈsaɪkɪk]adj

1. (Psychology) (Spirituality, New Age, Astrology & Self-help / Alternative Belief Systems)

a.  outside the possibilities defined by natural laws, as mental telepathy

b.  (of a person) sensitive to forces not recognized by natural laws

2. (Psychology) mental as opposed to physical; psychogenic

 The online dictionary defines '' psychic prowess'' as :

Noun

1.

parapsychology - phenomena that appear to contradict physical laws and suggest the possibility of causation by mental processes psychic phenomena, psychic phenomenon anomalous communication, psychic communication, psychical communication - communication by paranormal means clairvoyance, E.S.P., ESP, extrasensory perception, second sight - apparent power to perceive things that are not present to the senses psychokinesis, telekinesis - the power to move something by thinking about it without the application of physical force spirit rapping, table rapping, table tapping - alleged form of communication with spirits of the dead table lifting, table tilting, table tipping, table turning - manipulation of a table during a seance; attributed to spirits

What's  the point of mentioning all the definitions of the words "prowess", "psychic" and "psychic ability" here?

Mentioning their definitions made me sure that I really  possess this ability which I have noticed since I was a child.

I do believe it is a skill coming from the ALMIGHTY GOD, my Father in Heaven who created me and who has endowed me of all the skills, talents, and qualities that I need in order to survive anything that would happen to me and to my family, to help others, and most of all, to use these skills, abilities, talents, and qualities in giving glory to my Father in Heaven!

Today, June 12th, 2012, this horoscope, though I don't really believe in it, proves that I possess this psychic ability.

HELP OTHERS .......

I ALMOST LOST MY FAITH TODAY, JUNE 5TH, 2012....GOD HAS SAVED ME FROM FALLING APART!

June 5th, 2012

" In the nick of time, GOD sent me a "message". And when I checked out that ''thing'' that GOD had told me to check out, I found out that I had enough funds for this car loan payment today, June 5th, 2012. "

This is what my Zodiac tells me today.

Capricorn
You may almost lose faith today, but see if you can keep pushing even if all looks lost. Your energy demands focus and commitment, and when you deliver, you can snatch victory from the jaws of defeat.

STORY BEHIND IT:
The sister of my hubby who came from Germany asked to be fetched in Bicol, to be exact, in San Jose, Camarines Sur on May 31st, 2012. Because of that, I needed to withdraw some amount of money for the diesel of our L300 Van. They promised to return the money to me before they flew back to Germany. But they went back yesterday, June 4th, 2012, to Germany without giving me back the money which they spent on their travel. She told me that she would send the payment after 2 weeks. They used my van without any payments, and the diesel of my own van was also shouldered by me. What a big burden to me! To think that they are Germans and they brag that they have very good lives in Germany with very good stuff, appliances, and houses. To hell with those, I need my money back.

Today is my last day of payment for my L300 Van which I got from a car loan. I had insufficient funds for that.

My other business partner, Motor Parts & Services, has not given me my gains properly. This person who came to me last year, 2011, because of his additional capital needs is soooooooooooooooo greedy, dishonest, and unreliable. I asked him to give me back the capital that I gave him because I don't wanna  deal with him anymore, but he's been promising to give me back soon. He said he would give every 15th and 30th of the month, but NOTHING AMONG HIS PROMISES HAS BEEN ACCOMPLISHED. WE HAVE AN AGREEMENT AND CONTRACT BUT HE HAS NOT FULFILLED ANY THAT HAS BEEN AGREED UPON BY US.

In the nick of time, GOD sent me a "message". And when I checked out that ''thing'' that GOD had told me to check out, I found out that I had enough funds for this car loan payment today, June 5th, 2012.

But before this ''message'' was sent to me by GOD, I wrote this in my diary, "TODAY IS THE END OF MY WORLD", due to the situation that I was into.


I'm not used to this kind of situation. I always wanna be sure of whatever I do. BUT WHEN PEOPLE COME TO ME AND ASK OR BEG FOR HELP FROM ME, THAT'S THE TIME THAT EVERYTHING IN MY LIFE BECOMES A MESS.


My friends on facebook wrote that I must NOT ALLOW PEOPLE TO RUIN MY LIFE. DOES THAT MEAN THAT I SHOULD BE DEAF ABOUT THE NEEDS OF OTHERS? That when people come to me for help, I MUST SAY "NO". IF I SAY "NO", THEN THAT MEANS I AM ALSO GREEDY, SELFISH, AND BAD, AND I DON'T FOLLOW THE WORDS OF GOD WRITTEN IN THE HOLY BIBLE.


BUT EVERY TIME I FOLLOW GOD'S WORDS, TEMPTATION COMES IN. I ALWAYS WANT TO FOLLOW MY GOD'S COMMANDS. BUT I DON'T WANNA HAVE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS, PROBLEMS CAUSED BY PEOPLE WHO RUIN ALL MY PLANS AND SCHEDULES.

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SAD THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE ON EARTH WHO AREN'T HAPPY SEEING SOMEONE LIKE ME LIVING IN A PEACEFUL MODE. THEY COME WITH STRONG WIND AND HURRICANES TO CREATE HAVOC AND DISASTERS IN MY LIFE.

THANKS BE TO GOD. HE ALWAYS SAVES ME FROM FALLING.

SOME GOOD PRINCIPLES TO LIVE BY

MY ANGEL...........

I'm so grateful that I have 2164 friends on my facebook account today, May 31st, 2012. And my life is smooth now with these friends  and supporters who have been there even if I am not always connecting to them, but they are just right there giving me support, love, and care....they are my angels at a distance.

I think, my enemies are gone for life. I blocked them so they can't come back to my life.

THANK YOU, MY GLOBAL READERS!

I HAVE BEEN FAILING THE LIFE TESTS.....

I was the valedictorian in our batch in high school.
I was a scholar from high school to my Master's Degree.
I always received the highest grade in all my exams.
Because I always had perfect scores, my teachers and professors decided NOT to give me the final exams, instead, I always became the proctor during the final exams in high school and in college.

When I graduated from my Bachelor's Degree, I supposed to be the second summa cum laude of the New Era University for I garnered the highest average a college student could ever have. 

BUT the New Era University DIDN'T GIVE ME THAT HIGHEST HONOR BECAUSE THE UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT THAT TIME SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T CHANGE THE SCHOOL POLICIES JUST TO GIVE ME THE HIGHEST HONOR WHICH I DESERVED BECAUSE I WAS A TRANSFEREE FROM THE PHILIPPINE NORMAL UNIVERSITY. So they just gave me the GLORIA MACAPAGAL ARROYO EXCELLENCE AWARD IN 1994, the year when I graduated from college.


I also passed the FIRST LICENSURE EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS in 1996 without any reviews and without any rests. I was teaching at the New Era University, College of Business Education and Administration that time from 7 in the morning till 7 in the evening. I was a university adviser of the NEU-National Drug Education Program, and I was also a member of the Section 7 team of the Acreditation Program. In addition, I was very active in my church duty that time. As a member of the choir, I needed to attend to all my church duties every time I needed to perform. I didn't have time to review for the Teachers' Board Exam. But I passed it with flying colors. In fact, my license was forwarded to the New Era Public High School. But they returned it to me because I was already with the NEU-CBEA that time.

To make the story shorter, I promised my self to do good also when my GOD would give me ''life tests''. Because I did good in all my exams, I must also pass the life tests and trials that my GOD would be giving me on my way to my soul's salvation.


JUST A WHILE AGO, I FELT THAT I WAS GOING BACK TO MY OLD CHARACTER. WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I USED TO TELL MY MOM THAT IF SOMEONE THREW A STONE ON ME, I SHOULD THROW A BOULDER ON HER....BUT LAST YEAR, I PROMISED MYSELF NOT TO DO THAT ANYMORE BECAUSE I SAW HOW LIFE HAS BEEN  TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SHORT ON EARTH AND I SAW HOW I AM BLESSED AND LOVED BY THE GOD ALMIGHTY. SO AS A ''PAY BACK'', THOUGH I KNOW I CAN'T PAY ANYTHING BACK TO OUR GOD BECAUSE EVEN MY LIFE COMES FROM HIM, I PROMISED OUR GOD THAT I WOULD TRY TO BE MORE DOWN-TO-EARTH....BUT AS I PROMISED TO DO THIS, THE MORE PEOPLE WANNA PULL ME DOWN AND THE MORE THEY STEP ON ME, HURT ME, AND RUIN MY LIFE....NOW, WHAT WOULD I DO?....

YESTERDAY, A TEACHER IN SOMEWHERE, I DON'T KNOW IF SHE'S REALLY A TEACHER, SHOUTED AT US BECAUSE OF OUR VAN AND OUR MOTORCYCLE WHICH WERE RIGHTFULLY PARKED IN THE PARKING AREA OF THIS BUILDING. THERE WAS NO PROBLEM FROM OUR SIDE...BUT THIS TEACHER CALLED THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING AND SHOUTED ALL AROUND TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD ABOUT OUR VAN AND OUR MOTORCYCLE WHICH WERE PARKED RIGHTFULLY IN THE PARKING AREA OF THIS BUILDING..... SATAN  IS REALLY STRONG AND INFLUENTIAL. NOW, OUR VAN AND MOTORCYCLE ARE STILL PARKED IN THE SAME AREA WHERE THEY WERE PARKED BEFORE THE INCIDENT HAPPENED.


I don't wanna look down on people. I ALSO WANNA PASS THE TESTS OF LIFE. I NEED TO GET A GRADE THAT'S MUCH HIGHER THAN THE GRADES THAT I GOT FROM MY SCHOLASTIC STANDING AND PERFORMANCES.


MAY GOD HELP ME TO PASS HIS TESTS SO I CAN WORTHY OF HIS ETERNAL PROMISES.

IN SOLITUDE......

IF I'D DIE TOMORROW............

HAPPY AND SWEET THURSDAY WITH YOUR SPECIAL PET

 

To all my ever loving and supportive friends, this greetings is for you. May you enjoy your Thursday with your special pet.

My Maltese pet died on April 14th, 2012 at 00:00 hour. He actually started breathing with difficulty after he was given three shots of steroids, antibiotics, and vitamins on April 13th. It was not a good day for me and for my pet, Cedie.

 

My Thursdays were very happy because my Cedie and I always played after my church duty in the morning.

Tomorrow is Thursday again. I have to wake up very early at 2 in the morning for my church duties. I will be back here to my place again without my Cedie. Only emptiness waits for me here.

But, I have to move on, keep on living, and follow what GOD has planned for me.

Before I cry a river, I wanna send this greetings to all of you. May GOD be with you wherever you may be today and always!

LOVING MAKES ME SICKER....AND IN DESPAIR!

 I love to have beautiful things,
so I need to work very, very hard
to afford them
which makes me much sicker.

My heart is created to love my family, my friends,
my students, the people around me, my enemy, my work, 
my life, my duties to GOD, and 
most of all to love GOD, and my Saviour Jesus Christ.
Because of loving a lot, my heart becomes weary,
broken, and torn.

Because I love my family so much,
so I needed to give up my own dreams,
my own happiness, 
and my own desire.

I was a scholar of the Philippine Normal University.
But I needed to give up my studies
even if the guidance counsellor had talked to my mom
that the Philippine Normal University was willing
to give me full scholarship up to my fourth year college,
in order for me NOT to stop my studies.

I chose to give up my studies 
so I could work for my family,
I could feed them,
I could send my brothers and sisters to school.

I gave up my dream of finishing my studies 
at a very young age
as a scholar
because I was afraid
that after I finished my studies,
my family would be gone.

I dreamt of being with my family 
all my life,
but they seem to be all gone.

FOODS THAT MAKE YOU YOUNG...MY FOODS!

I wanna share to you my food every day. These are some of the foods that I manage to have on my plate and on the table every day. In fact, today, I just all these. I haven't eaten rice yet. I don't feel hungry. I'm not hungry. I don;t know the reasons why. Even if I have been searching and reading a lot, I still feel that there's ''MAGIC'' in all these foods. Check them out for yourselves.

Green Tea

"Green tea is believed to help regulate blood pressure, lowers blood sugar, boosts the immune system, and lowers cholesterol. Studies have even shown that green tea can be effective at preventing cancer. That's as close to the elixir of life as you can get."

http://www.shen-nong.com/eng/cm/cm10.html 

" Leafy greens: Whilst eating spinach won't be enough to turn you into Popeye, it's certainly excellent for boosting the body's immunity from illness. Spinach and other leafy foods like kale and collard are high in folate which is vital in preventing DNA and blood vessel damage. If you can maintain a healthy circulatory system you are reducing your risk of developing conditions such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia. "

Cocoa Beans Help Your Heart
Cocoa is good for the heart. This is something I know my mom, an alternative medicine doctor, has told me many times, but I never asked why, what was behind that. Here’s the scoop:
“Chocolate and cocoa derive their health benefits from flavonoids which are plant pigments capable of acting as antioxidants to counteract some of the cellular damage that can lead to chronic diseases such as cancer and heart disease,” Natural Health Ezine writes. “Cocoa powder has also been shown to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow in humans.”

"Yogurt:  'Good' bacteria is great for regulating the immune system, by increasing its antibodies and preventing the rise of pathogenic organisms like salmonella and E.coli. Many yoghurts include a high volume of 'good' bacteria that help maintain gut healthy and diminish the incidence of age-related intestinal illness. Yogurt is also rich in calcium, which can help stave off osteoporosis. 

"Soy products: Like fish, soy products such as tofu are also a great alternative source of protein than red meat or even dairy, since they have little or no saturated fat. A diet that's low in saturated fat will reduce your risk of developing heart disease and lower blood pressure. As a staple part of the Japanese diet, soy products are great at helping keep down cholesterol and are a useful addition to a healthy diet."

"Red wine: A glass of red wine adds up a good dose of anti-aging elements including polyphenol antioxidants, minerals, and resveratrol. Resveratrol which helps to increase 'good cholesterol' levels in the body and prevents blood clotting and a healthy circulatory system. Resveratrol found in red wine may also be beneficial for women during the menopause by reducing the risk for conditions for example breast cancer and osteoporosis that result from reduced oestrogen levels. Like the chocolate, it's not carte blanche to guzzle as much as you want; we suggest a standard glass every other day is a good approach. "

" Water: Few people — whether active or not — drink sufficient water, and side effects of even slight dehydration include headaches, fatigue and low concentration levels. Yet increasing fluid intake can increase energy levels, aid digestion, give skin a boost and help boost your anti-aging armoury. Concentrate on drinking little and often throughout the day, being extra vigilant after exercise or when you've been confined in a dry, overheated or air-conditioned environment." 

http://www.spartafit.com/nutrition/water.php

" Water is also very important for removing toxins from the human body.  The body has four major ways of removing toxins which are:

Bowels
Urination
Perspiration
Processing of toxins by the liver    " 

http://www.freedrinkingwater.com/water-education/water-health.htm 

http://voices.yahoo.com/the-importance-water-health-human-life-169455.html 

 "  The Importance of Water To Human Life and to the Operation of the Human Body:

• Next to air (oxygen), water is the most essential element to human life; the body usually cannot survive longer than several days without water (a maximum of 1 week).
• Water is essential to the functioning of every single cell and organ system in the human body.
• Water makes up greater than 2/3 of the weight of the human body; the brain is 75% water, blood is 83% water, bones are 22% water, muscles are 75% water, and the lungs are 90% water.
• Water is essential for the efficient elimination of waste products through the kidneys.
• Water regulates body temperature (through perspiration).
• Water serves a lubricant; water forms the fluids surrounding joints and bones, providing cushioning for the joints.
• Water prevents and alleviates constipation (by moving food through the intestines and eliminating waste products).
• Water helps the body to absorb nutrients in the intestines.
• Water plays a role in regulating metabolism.
• Water forms the base for saliva (necessary for consuming and digesting food).
• Water carries nutrients and oxygen to all cells in the body and facilitates all of the chemical processes which occur in the body.
• Water plays a role in the prevention of disease. Drinking adequate amounts of water can reduce the risk of colon and bladder cancer significantly, and some studies have suggested that water may also decrease the risk of breast cancer."
