Happy Valentine's Day
Can you have a few of those Valentine's Day chocolates and still reach the weight loss goals you have set for yourself?
It's a New Year and many of you are turning over a new leaf and beginning programs of healthier eating and adding more exercise. Can chocolate, sweet, decadent chocolate have a place in your plans to be healthy and fit? It can if you are willing to add a few of your health- building Life Lift breaths along with your regular Life Lift workout.
This week you may see a lovely heart shaped box filled with chocolate in front of your face. Does this have to sabotage your goals? No, it does not.
What does doing Life Lift breaths have to do with being able to eat chocolate? Plenty.
Researchers have found the main reason exercise burns fat is because it increases the amount of OXYGEN sent to the cells.
The body's normal physiological response to deep breathing programs will be to increase the metabolism of fat.
People who don't lose weight don't take in enough oxygen. Someone with a weight problem also has a breathing problem.
I have worked with thousands of people over my past twenty plus years teaching and doing the Life Lift breathing program and this has been my observation.
For many years I have heard from people telling me how thrilled they were when the holidays came and passed without any excess weight gain even though they had been indulging in some of the holiday treats. They attributed this to the fact that they had incorporated the Life Lift breathing into their lives, adding an extra dose when they had indulged in some extra goodies.
There is more evidence that says yes, you can have a few of those holiday chocolates and still reach your goals of being healthy and fit.
Dr. Sharon Robinson, assistant professor and nutrition specialist with the Texas Agricultural Extension Service at Texas A&M University, also says it can
"For most people, if their lifestyle includes a healthful diet and physical activity, there is no reason not to enjoy a treat now and then," she said. "Balance is the key."
Robinson, who is also a registered dietitian, said chocolate, at the tip of the food pyramid with condiments such as mayonnaise and ketchup, can be enjoyed in limited amounts to supplement the flavor and enjoyment of healthier foods.
For example, she said, "Chocolate-covered fruit – such as strawberries, orange slices and cherries – is a tasty way of enjoying fruit during this holiday season."
For children who might appreciate a special Valentine's Day treat, she suggested a cup of hot cocoa made with milk and garnished with a peppermint stick.
In other words, don't go eating the whole heart-shaped box of chocolates at once; instead limit it to a little chocolate at a time.
"Instead of a three-pound box, have two little (chocolate) truffles" for Valentine's Day, she advised.
In the United States alone this Valentine's Day's total chocolate sales approached $1 billion. Is it any wonder someone decided to do some research to find out if there could be any benefits for us in the sweet treats? You can guess that some of those researchers are chocolate lovers themselves.
The determination is that since chocolate and cocoa powder are derived from beans that contain hefty quantities of natural antioxidants called flavonoids that there are actual health benefits. In recent years, research has correlated consumption of tea, red wine, and other foods rich in these compounds with a reduced risk of cardiovascular disease. Now we can add chocolate to the list.
Many candy companies and the American Cocoa Research Institute (ACRI) in McLean, Va., have begun putting a great deal of money into studies of chocolate's antioxidants hoping to transform the image of chocolate as a bad food to one that is considered to be good for us.
New findings reported at the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)--suggest that chocolate's chemistry confers cardiovascular benefits.
Though preliminary, the research indicates that cocoa and chocolates not only contain natural compounds that can protect the heart and blood vessels but also that the quantities present in commercial products may be sufficient to exert measurable effects.
At least as important as the total amount of flavonoids, however, is the potency of these antioxidants, Vinson notes. And the potency of those in chocolate is impressive, his team reported in the December 1999 JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURAL AND FOOD CHEMISTRY.
Vinson and his colleagues found that, matched molecule for molecule, chocolate's flavonoids are more powerful than vitamins such as ascorbic acid in limiting the oxidation of cholesterol circulating in low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) and very-low-density lipoproteins. Atherosclerosis studies have suggested that oxidation of these lipoproteins is an essential step in the creation of artery-clogging plaque.
In spite of all this research, chocolate is still not a nutrition-dense food and should not be used to replace healthier foods in the diet, but a little bit of chocolate now and then can be included in a healthy eating plan without any guilt. Adding your Life Lift breaths to help burn off the fat that the chocolate may have created is an easy fix.
Indulge in a little bit of chocolate for Valentine's Day, along with your regular program of your Life Lift daily workout combined with healthy eating and enjoy!
Research has shown that those who belong to internet support groups have better long-term success in reaching their goals
Even those who do not participate by writing to the support groups often experience enhanced results due to motivation that comes from reading about the dedication and success of others. I have received messages many times from people off the lists telling me that something they read on a list inspired them and gave them a new motivation to succeed. Often you can read a message and find an idea just happens to click for you. Our groups serve a dual purpose: They provide valuable information as well as serving as a support mechanism for individuals needing helpful information as well as inspiration.

Testimonials of the month, something to inspire you
Hi all! I just finished original LL tape and reflexology tape. I have ordered some skin care products, the set-n-me-free- caps and the commuter tape so I am anxiously awaiting them! I know I will like them because I have some of Rashelle products already and they are wonderful. If I could afford it I would order the whole line!
Claudia
I just wanted to share a cute story. I put the Reflexology tape in and pretty soon my two little boys plopped pillows next to me. They did some of the tape with me, but the part they got really excited about was the acupressure facelift. Micah (4) did the entire facelift---or at least his own version but Tristan (2) excitedly counted along as Rashelle did it. It was so funny to watch him make circles on his face and count so excitedly!

Hi friends this is Cindy
I want to tell you that Life Lift has healed my back pain. It is a miracle, breathing really does heal. I had this pain since January, it's from stress. I have many stresses in my life. I am so happy I found Life Lift to reduce my insurmountable stress.

Testimonials for Skin and Body Care Products
I have had so much success with the body wrap products and it just keeps me more and more motivated. They are awesome.
I am glad Gaylynn, mentioned the MagC eye cream; it's been ages since I mentioned that on this list. When I ordered the face mask and the eye cream; I really didn't think I would notice much of a difference. I was blessed with wonderful skin; no wrinkles yet either. I couldn't believe it when I use the eye cream that I can tell a difference in the smoothness under my eyes. The masking kit makes my face look so rosy and healthy. This is when I knew how great the face products were; I have never noticed any difference before in face products until 'The Haines Collection'. I highly recommend these products as well.
I have had so much success with these products and seeing visible results surely is one great motivator. They really are miraculous products.
Wanda
I agree with you about the body wrap products; they are great. I also want to rave about the Eye Mag C Renewal Cream. I have used many different eye creams over the last 20 years and I do believe this is probably the best I have found. It is totally absorbed into the skin and does not feel greasy. For me, it also works wonders for those dark circles I can get under my eyes. The masking kit is also one of the best I have found.
Thanks for sharing your experiences with the products, I think that will encourage more people to try them and love them! And, thanks to Rashelle for quality products that actually work!!)
Gaylynn
This is what they are saying about the audio tapes
I just wanted to thank you for all the wonderful changes that are happening for me since I started using all of your positive affirmation tapes. They are so soothing, easy to listen to and most of all, they really are working for me. I have all of your tapes and I want more!!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these wonderful tapes,
Sharon
I must tell you that I am listening to your audio tape on weight loss and find it inspiring. I rarely over eat and usually eat healthy but the message you send stays with me throughout the day and keeps me going in the right direction. After spending so much time with you (via video tape and audio tape) I feel I know you!
Kay
"The workout I had with the new commuter audio tape is the most amazing workout I have ever had. It was all I could do to keep up. I felt exhilarated when I was finished. I love the fact that I can do a few with you or the whole 20 minutes. I feel like you are right there with me. The enthusiasm in your voice got me up and going right away. The affirmation tapes are almost hypnotic. I fell asleep listening to one of them and could not believe how great I felt when I woke up this morning. I felt like I could do anything!"
" I have the first four affirmation tapes and am anxiously awaiting the new ones. I also have the Victory Theory Tapes, I love them. I can promise that I will be ordering any new products you offer. I have been thrilled with everything I have ordered from you."
Linda A. (from California)
After receiving so many requests I have created 10 powerful, Positive Affirmation audio tapes. They are now available in their own case so that all the positive messages you need can be right at your fingertips. One of the best ways to listen to the tapes is when you are not consciously listening. I like to listen to them as I am falling asleep each night.
They should be helpful for anyone wanting to improve the quality of their life.
These tapes are a perfect addition for anyone who practices the principles of the Victory Theory. It is a winner's combination.
