Centuries ago, shoes denoted a person’s place in society. One peek at an individual’s feet and onlookers could tell whether this human being was a member of royalty or a peasant living on the street. The wear and tear on the shoes may yield a clue, but it was much more than the condition of the footwear.

Unbelievable, there was a time when it was illegal for anyone outside of society’s upper crust to wear shoes with a heel. Imagine people being arrested for their choice in footwear. In truth, the rich and royal actually got ridiculous when it came to wearing high heeled shoes. The assumption being that the bigger the heel, the greater the prosperity and place in the community. People were selecting heels so tall that servant had to serve as canes, so their master or mistresses did not fall from their shoes, breaking a leg or worse.

Shoes also help people in their chosen occupations. For example, a nurse will generally wear some kind of footwear with a cushioned soul, to manage long hours on his/her feet. Construction workers wear steel-toed boots as protective footwear. Firemen wear fire-retardant footwear that also withstands the mud and muck walked through while fighting a blaze.

But, some shoes are simply for the fun of it. After are hard week a work, many people like to frequent the night clubs and unwind with a night of drinking and dancing. In an effort to get noticed and make a fashion statement, ladies will don extremely feminine club wear and purchase accentuating shoes to complete the look.

Shoes are also important accessories for costumes. As the final touch, the footwear authenticates the desired persona. Personal relationships are also influenced by what an individual wears. From head to foot, individuals dress for success at work and play.

Yes, shoes are more than footwear. Shoes express who people are, what they do, and sometimes even their place in society as a whole. In addition, shoes are often a unique expression of moods and desires. What shoes are in your closet?

The food we put into our body is the foundation of our health and it is well known that the nutritional quality of the food we consume is related to our state of health. Even ‘Hippocrates’ the father of our medicine stated in one of his oaths, “Let food be thy medicine and thy medicine be thy food.”

People a hundred years ago were actually healthier than modern man living in western societies. A new study shows the excessive levels of cholesterol, heart disease and cancer were non existent a hundred years ago and that these health problems are a direct result of our poor diet and lack of exercise. Their average lifespan may have been lower than ours today, but that was because of diseases, infections and child mortality, problems which we have mostly eliminated.

How is all this related to cancer?

Cancer is simply a disease of the immune system, or more correctly, a disease of a weak immune system. The immune system becomes weakened through the way we live, especially with the wrong foods that we eat, it will then allow cancer cells to become established. The obvious (and safest) way to become cancer free once it’s established is to boost the immune system, the only way to accomplish this is to eat the food that has been designed for humans. That is, live as Mother Nature has intended us to live.

When man processes food, often to help it sell, he knows that we all have a craving for 3 things, fat, salt and refined sugar. These 3 items are found in nearly all processed food and are all known contributors to cancer. Also, all processed foods are ‘old’ food (nutritionally dead food) compared to fresh produce.

It’s only very recently that we have seen research into food and how it is related to cancer. Phytonutrients, also called phytochemicals have been discovered in many fruit and vegetables, and these compounds have been found to have an amazing ability to not only stop cancer but also to fight cancer once it is established.

Here are few examples:

- Tomatoes contain a photo nutrient called lycopene and are the compound responsible for its bright red colour and its anti-cancer potential. It has been beneficial to both prostrate and breast cancer patients.

- Cruciferous vegetables, of which broccoli is one, all contain important anti-cancer compounds and research has found overwhelming evidence to support this.

- Red grapes have a powerful photo nutrient called resveratrol which also have anti cancer properties.

- Apples have been found to inhibit the growths in colon cancer by 43%. They contain a photo nutrient which was found only in the skin of the apple.

Why haven’t we been told about the cancer fighting ability of our natural food?

The answer is very simple. Food is a natural product so no one can control the price and make enormous profits. Cancer treatment drugs, on the other hand, are synthesised or artificial and can be patented so the price can then be controlled by the manufacture themselves. Conventional cancer treatments today using these drugs represent a multi billion dollar a year industry. These vast profits are fiercely protected by these industry giants.

So there IS a diet that can cure cancer and it revolves around freshly grown food, organic if possible.

The natural food for breakfast is fresh fruit and plenty of it. If you need to snack throughout the morning, eat more fruit. A healthy choice for lunch is a plate of fresh salad items and there are plenty to choose from, you should include raw onions. A couple of choices for your evening meal can be a soup using fresh vegetables or pumpkin, or maybe lightly steaming some vegetables with a baked potato.

Diets similar to this are nothing new. Dr Gerson was curing cancer patients back in the 1950s in America, with foods such as these but used in a juice form so as to flood the body with nutrients. He cured thousands of patients, many of them terminal and there are countless testimonials from his cured patients.

Eat

Anti-oxidants are a group of organic substances which include vitamins C, E and vitamin A, selenium, and carotenoids. They help combat the signs of ageing by destroying the oxidants or free radicals inside the human body that attack it and they help to keep the skin firm by protecting the skins collagen and elastic tissue. Anti-aging foods are full of anti-oxidants so eating this is a big step towards holding back the years and improving your general health.

Eat This – Garlic, onions, green leafy vegetables, chilli peppers, lentils, kidney beans, chick peas, yogurt, nuts and seeds, raspberries, cherries, plums, oranges.

Fitness madonna Life

Rarely will you find someone who looks younger than their years who doesn’t exercise. Fitness not only keeps you trim, agile and healthy, but it gives you a glow of healthiness and youthfulness that radiates from you. Make exercise a part of your life – it doesn’t have to be high-impact quotes or weight training, regular gentle exercise is great too. The more you do this, the better you look. The longer you do this, the better you look for longer. Simple.

Try This- Add a daily walk to your routine or swim regularly. Sign up for a 10k run or subscribe to a fitness or health magazine for 6 months and body-envy will motivate you if nothing else.

Reduce Stress

If you’ve ever seen someone you know after they’ve had some trauma in their life, you’ll have noticed how much they’ve aged in a short time. that’s what stress does to you over a longer period but the end result is the same. If you know you are more stressed than you can cope with, change something. You will be giving yourself the best gift ever and likely extending your life. Stress sits on your face and your heart – reduce it now.

Do This – Try breathing exercises to relax you; book a massage – treat yourself; take up yoga.

Stop smoking

I wont go into what it does to your heart and lungs because everyone knows this by now. But smoking gives you deep wrinkles, dries out your skin and gives your skin a lovely, grey colour that adds 10+ years to your face. Nice.

Know This – One of my clients is a plastic surgeon and he once told me that the people who age the most are blondes, who live in the sun and who smoke. You can’t control your natural hair colour or re-locate so easily but you can control the smoking.

Stop frowning

Look in the mirror and have a conversation with yourself. Look out for the faces you pull and when you come to the frown face, stop. That’s the face you should avoid pulling from now on. Frowning gives you wrinkles and deep ones at that but it also makes you appear stern and flat. A smile brightens the face, works the muscles in the right direction (up) and is contagious. It generates great feedback.

Do This – Try to smile for as much of the day as you can. When you’re at work, sitting on the train, walking by. You’ll become aware of how many people make eye contact with you and smile back.

Break the Habit

Your day is dictated by what you say to yourself in the morning. Waking up and dreading the office is the first step to ensuring your day will be bad. Break this negative habit immediately and try ‘power talking’ to yourself instead. Today is going to be great. I can’t wait for this afternoon. By changing your attitude, you become more positive and upbeat and look and feel better. This is a youthful and vital approach to life whereas moaning, whingeing, dreading is very negative and comes across as old and unable to cope with what life throws at you.

Try This – next time you are supposed to go to a meeting or meet a friend when you would rather crash out at home, say this -I can’t wait to do _______, it’s always great fun. I can’t wait for _________, it’s usually really interesting. I promise this works a charm.

P.S. – My client, the plastic surgeon I mentioned above also told me this, the only skin creme on the market that he believed really helped to delay the signs of ageing? The cheapest – Nivea. The original version, the creme your mum used to smear all over your face as a child…who knew?
