  • This is a way to obtain the rich flavors and textures of cocoa, the health benefits (e.g., blood pressure reduction, antioxidation) of cocoa flavonoids, while obtaining none of the sugars/carbohydrates . . . and certainly no wheat!

  • small LDL is the #1 most common cause for heart disease in the U.S., not “high cholesterol.” Wheat consumption increases small LDL particles; wheat elimination is the most powerful tool available for reduction of small LDL particles, particularly when combined with weight loss.
  • CRP and other measures of inflammation drop to the floor with wheat elimination.
  • Wheat products are a convenient source of indigestible fiber. But the idea that you must have whole grains from wheat to obtain sufficient fiber is pure fiction. There are plenty of other foods that are rich in fiber.
  • non-wheat fibers low in carbohydrates, especially flaxseed and chia.
  • They do not have any effect on blood sugar.
  • wheat consumption changes the bacterial composition of your intestinal tract. Taking a probiotic for a few weeks can provide organisms like lactobacillus and bifidobacterium that help regain normal bacterial populations.

    Modern wheat, especially whole wheat contributes to the pandemic of arthritis, cancer, Type II Diabetes, obesity and all lifestyle diseases. And when it doesn't, wheat is still a "Stealth Killer" of men, women and our children and grandchildren Ours is NOT the wheat our Grandmas used to bake with! And this is true no matter where you live in the world because Canadian-designed hybridized-wheat has been spread everywhere ...even into isolated areas of China because of it's yields! It's additional huge benefit (pun intended) is "Lose the Wheat, Lose the Weight"! gfp (2011-11-26)

A Comprehensive Look at Genesis 3 | The Bare Times - 1 views

  • This verse also implies that the woman started feminism where it says, ”Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.” God was punishing the woman for not deferring to Adam’s authority.
    • Gary Patton
       
      The author's paraphrase of this passage talks about "Adam's authority" not the Hebrew. Plus defining "feminism" as opposing men" is more than a little sexist. What God actually meant by "he shall rule over you" is much bebated among scholars depending on how mysogenist they are.
  • after the fall, Adam saw his body as shameful; even while God did not say the body was evil after the fall.

  • In verse 21, God mercifully provides coats of skin for Adam and Eve. People view the slaughtering of the animal as God’s start of the sacrificial system for ancient Israel because something died to cover their sin.

Work/Life Balance Is A Myth | Fast Company - 0 views

  • Work/Life Balance Is A Myth
    • Gary Patton
       
      You can defeat the myth of work-life balance by striving for "harmony" not mythical "balance" is what I've been teaching in my Stress Optimization program for over a decade! Because this so-called "new idea" is not accepted in the mainstream, you'll discover below a disclaimer saying that work-life balance as a myth "expresses the writer's view alone." Duh!
  • Doing what that guy in the photo was doing is impossible for more than a few minutes at a time.
    • Gary Patton
       
      Working from home is the ideal way to overcome the MANY disadvantages in today's cruel marketplace of having a job-job! But, the emphasis needs to be on "working from home" ...not being a baby-sitter for your kids!
  • don’t say if no if you don’t have any leverage
    • Gary Patton
       
      I don't agree! If no needs to be said for you to be "on purpose": Say no ...regardless of your amount of leverage! Not learning how to say "no" wisely is one of the most dis-stress life-skill lacks from which many people suffer! But, ask some questions first around your options and choices when asked to do something so you not they retain control.

  • In practice, however, what I’ve seen is that people often invest that free time in doing more work.
    • Gary Patton
       
      This is another problem caused often by excessive "Type 'A' Behaviour" or "Work Addiction" (workaholism). It does not detract from the wisdom of hiring others to free up time for you for re-creation and relaxation.
  • Their identity is rooted in work, and that’s where they want to be. Outside of work, in the complex dance of family and community responsibilities, they lose their autonomy. Their professional expertise doesn’t mean much.
    • Gary Patton
       
      This is not a "faulty-assumption" about the work-life myth because these kinds of so-called leaders are sick and need help ...as a psycologist or psyciatrist would agree.
  • We need better ways to manage work-life boundaries, understanding that we are subject to phases, often dictated by events out of our control, in which our work lives and personal lives ebb and flow in their demands.
    • Gary Patton
       
      This is why I coach my clients that the key is to seek harmony, not perfection, in the context of a clear and written "life purpose" which promotes direction, focus and the context for "saying no"!
  • Shore up the home front
    • Gary Patton
       
      Don't be social. Be relevant in all your key relationships! Your family and friends are what life is all about. And major de-stressors for you when you practise harmony in this area as well.
  • f you feel overworked to the point that you complain about it constantly
    • Gary Patton
       
      This again results from the lack of a clear purpose and harmony in fulfilling it. Alternatievly, it may be greed which also is the lack of a reasonable life purpose because there's a lot more to life than more money! How many do you think on their death bed will share: "Gee, I wish I'd spent more time at the office!" Duh!!
  • Say “no” strategically
    • Gary Patton
       
      As I said above, it's impossible to say know wisely if you're unclear about your life purpose!
  • Quit complaining
  • Take control instead

Contentment With Power - Bible Gateway - 0 views

  •  
    Philippians 4: 11-13 makes clear that a Jesus Follower can "put up with" anything ...because of the power-source that lives within us. Please note that Paul confirms that he was "content with" not "content in" his circumstances. A Jesus Follower should never be "under the circumstances" in Christ! A great companion for this passage is Holy Spirit's similar promise in 1 Corinthians 10:13 where the Greek also means "trial" as well as "temptation". gfp(2012-02-25) Striving to better oneself is NOT unBiblical and is encourages in many places provided we do it in Christ (John 15:5).

Don't Confuse Passion with Competence : Harvard Business Review - 0 views

What Is Child Psychology and Why Is It So Important? - 0 views

  •  
    The article offers us a comprehensive perspective on child psychology, highlighting its importance in the healthy development of our children. I find it especially valuable how it emphasizes that early intervention is key. As parents, we sometimes minimize certain signs thinking that 'it will pass,' but detecting and addressing problems early can make a significant difference in the child's future well-being. It's reassuring to know that there are evidence-based therapeutic tools adapted to the children's world, such as play therapy and art therapy, which allow children to receive help in a natural and engaging way. I also highlight the comprehensive approach that includes family and educational environment, recognizing that children's well-being is connected to the family and social dynamics surrounding the child. A recommended read for parents, educators, and anyone interested in child welfare.

What Are the 6 Types of Stress and How to Manage Them? - 0 views

  •  
    This Spanish article provides us with a very useful guide to better understand something we all experience: stress. I find it especially valuable that it not only identifies the different types, but also helps us recognize when stress can be beneficial and when it becomes problematic. What strikes me most is the concept of positive stress that motivates us and drives us to grow. We often think of stress as something completely negative, but this article reminds us that a certain level of stress can be our ally in facing challenges and achieving goals. The general strategies it proposes are practical and accessible: from relaxation techniques to the importance of setting boundaries. I find the emphasis on seeking professional support when stress begins to significantly affect our well-being to be fundamental. An essential read for anyone looking to better understand their relationship with stress and develop effective tools to manage it.
