Include protein every time you eat. By including high quality protein in each
meal, you can help stimulate the hormone glucagons. Glucagons can help keep
blood sugar balanced and help you burn fat faster. Some of the best high
quality, low-fat protein sources include 2% low fat cottage cheese, eggs and egg
whites, fish, chicken, turkey, beef and pork tenderloin, tofu, tempeh, and pure
whey protein powder.

Overcoming Obstacles
Carol Farmer found out after only two semesters of teaching that education
wasn't for her. But what else could she do ?
She wanted to be a designer, so she set a goal to make more money her first year
as a freelance designer than she had made teaching. Carol Farmer had made $5,000
teaching; she made $5,012 her first year as designer.
Her freelance business grew into an ad agency. She was soon offered a salary
increase to thirty-five thousand dollars, but she turned it down to form her own
company. The former teacher made over one hundred thousand dollars in her first
year, twenty times more than she made less than ten years previously and five
times more than she made a year before.
In 1976, Carol Farmer formed the Doody Company, which billed over $15 million in
its first three years. Her staff increased from six to two hundred. Carol Farmer
continues to diversify.
Too often people see obstacles as roadblocks instead of opportunities. Carol
Farmer turned disappointment and unhappiness in one career into happiness,
creativity, and profit in another career. Join Carol Farmer in approaching life
obstacles creatively, to see yourself on the top.

Yoga for healing Anemia
Regular practice of different yoga poses increases the
RBC production as well as purifies the blood.
Anemia is one of the common conditions affecting human
being especially women around the world. In general
anemia is considered to be a condition characterized by
lack of blood. But medically anemia can be referred as a
condition where the iron content or hemoglobin of blood
decreases below the normal level.
Yoga can help in increasing RBC count in two ways. One
is by making use of breathing exercises and the other is
by doing special asanas.
Breathing exercises like Ujjayi, Suryabhedana, Anuloma
Viloma and Kapalbhatti increases circulation of blood
and improve functioning of the entire circulatory
system.
According to various yoga gurus anemic patients should
start their yoga session with Pranayama followed by
Trikonasana. Other yoga poses for anaemia are
Sarvangasana, Paschomittanasana, Uttanpadasana,
Viparita-karani-mudra and various shavasanas.
Breathing Exercises:
Ujjayi or The "loud breathing" consists of drawing air
in through both nostrils with the glottis held partially
closed. This partial closure of the glottis produces a
sound like that heard in sobbing, except that it is
continuous and unbroken. Ujjayi breathing has many
variations. For example, we can breathe in through the
throat, then completely close one nostril and breathe
out through the other nostril, which is only partly
closed. This technique is called an anuloma ujjayi. In a
pranayama technique called viloma ujjayi, we breathe in
through the nostril and breathe out through the throat.
This technique is used to lengthen the inhalation. In
ujjayi pranayama it is important to follow this rule:
when we regulate the breath through the nostril, we
never breathe through the throat at the same time.
