Q: The Psychology of Winning!! By Denis Waitley
The Power of Positive Self-Expectancy:
The Psychology of Winning
~ by Denis Waitley
Positive self-expectancy is the first, most outwardly identifiable quality of a top-achieving, winning human being. Positive self-expectancy is pure and simple optimism: real enthusiasm for everything you do. And optimism is expecting the most favorable result from your own actions.
There never was a winner who didn't expect to win in advance. Winners understand that life is a self-fulfilling prophecy. And they know that you usually get what you expect in the long run. So winners accept the belief that hope and a deep, unbreakable faith — forged into a fundamental attitude of positive self-expectancy — is the eternal spring from which all creative, motivating energy flows.
The idea that faith conquers all has been verified from biblical times to current-day medical histories to daily stories of heroism and come-from-behind victories and rags-to-riches success we read about every day in the newspapers. They're human biographies of greatness we read about, hear about, and watch on TV. And we marvel over these special people who pull themselves up by their own bootstraps.
Let me ask you this: Did it ever occur to you that you, also, are one of these special people? Well, you are! You see, most of the real winners in life are so busy contributing, they don't even think of seeking publicity for their acts. Most of them are discovered by the media, caught in the act of winning. Only a few famous people are winners, and only a few winners will become famous people. That's because success is a very individual thing. Success is the way you spend your minutes doing your best for others. It is the way you take the talent you were born with, and the knowledge and skills you have since developed, and use them fully, toward a purpose that makes you feel worthwhile, according to your own individual, internal standards.
In your quest for excellence, there are 2 powerful sets of great expectations affecting your life.- First, there are the expectations that others close to you have for you.
- And then there are the expectations that you have for yourself.
As a behavioral scientist studying the lives of thousands of winners and losers, I find that "psycho," the mind, is your own best fortuneteller to forecast the actions of "soma," the body. And understanding this mind-and-body, psychosomatic relationship is the key to understanding the importance of the first, most outwardly identifiable quality of a winner: that of positive self-expectancy. Winners expect another good day, a promotion, a raise, to find a parking place, a productive meeting, and a harmonious family life — and they usually get them. Winners know that their actions will be controlled by their current obsessions. Losers generally expect more of the same frustration, more problems, the loss of a job, a dull evening, bad service, and failure. Most importantly, losers expect to feel bad and get sick — and they do.
Careful studies of the life histories of thousands of widely differing people have shown that the probability of health changes, such as sickness, accident, even pregnancy, can be predicted. We are learning that all disease is not necessarily caused by germs. All of us have germs, but only a few become ill as a result. Instead, the cause of disease is loosely linked with the way individuals react to life. The link between stressful life changes, expectant anxiety, and health changes seems to be associated with the body's immune system, which makes antibodies to fight foreign material and germs. Situations that arouse fear and anxiety suppress antibody production as well.
Distrustful situations may also upset production of hormones, which have a role in emotional balance. An emotionally upset individual is much more prone to accidents.
But what does all this have to do with positive self-expectancy and winning attitudes? Simply this: Mental obsessions DO have physical manifestations. You do become that which you fear. You get what you suspect. You are that which you expect to be. This power of the self-fulfilling prophecy is one of the most amazing phenomena of human nature. What do you expect for yourself? You should expect the best. The winners in life, believing in the self-fulfilling prophecy, keep their momentum moving upward by expecting better jobs, more money, good health, better family relationships, financial security, warm friendships, and success.
All really successful individuals fervently desire and expect to win — no matter what curve life throws at them. Think about Helen Keller, who graduated magna cum laude and devoted her entire life to the service of others, although she had been deaf and blind since infancy. Franklin Delano Roosevelt had polio. The modern artist Matisse created some of his best work when he was nearly blind, aged, and bedridden. A young woman named Patti Catalano overcame the self-destructive habits of overeating and chain-smoking to become one of the top 10 marathon runners in the world. I remember a little girl who took her optimism from the back streets of Harlem to the center court at Wimbledon — Althea Gibson. In spite of their handicaps, they expected to do their best. They wanted to achieve and expected to excel.
But there's more to positive self-expectancy than meets the eye. Medical researchers have discovered that the body produces natural morphine-like substances that operate on certain receptor sites in the brain and spinal cord. These natural internal opiates are called endorphins. Secreted and used by the brain, endorphins reduce the experience and screen out unpleasant stimuli. In fact, the presence of endorphins actually causes the feeling of well-being.
In one related study, actors were wired to electrodes and connected to blood catheters. They were then asked to perform various scenes. When they portrayed characters who were angry or depressed, endorphin levels dropped. But when the scene called for emoting joy, confidence, and love, endorphin levels shot up dramatically.
Science has shown that positive thoughts produce endorphins. Endorphins, in turn, encourage feelings of optimism and well-being. So it works both ways. You sing because you're happy, and you're happy because you're singing. 60%-70% of the population who visit physicians are sick as a result of an emotional feeling of stress because of the pressure they feel from life. That's why it's critically important to remember that the key to winning positive self-expectancy is to understand that in the long run, every individual receives just about what he or she expects. And if you have faith that if you do things the right way, you'll be rewarded accordingly — you'll be a winner!
Optimism is a way of life. Some techniques for generating a greater attitude of positive self-expectancy include the following:
- Look at problems as opportunities — search for the favorable aspects of every situation.
- Next, learn to stay relaxed and friendly, no matter how much pressure and tension you're under. In the beginning, it's likely that you'll have to fake it. But the truth is that both calmness and courage are learned habits, and there's no better way to learn a good habit than by actually getting in and doing it and living it.
- Next, and this is very important, in dealing with other people, instead of griping, try praising. In place of cynicism, try optimism. Instead of being unhelpfully critical, try being constructively helpful. You know these are learned habits, too. And everyone is dependent on others for at least part of their own positive self-expectancy.
- And next, get excited and enthusiastic about your own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire. You can smell it, taste it, and see it a mile away. Everybody loves a winner. But nobody crowds around a loser's locker room. Don't run around with the doomsayers who look up and shout that the sky is always falling. Optimism and realism go together. They are the problem-solving twins. Pessimism and cynicism are the two worst companions. Surround yourself with the “no-problem, can-do’ type with big dreams like your own. It's the excitement of the big dream that carries you through the setback that you encounter.

Q: Daily Affirmations - Do They Work?
Q: Daily Affirmations - Do They Work?
Until Next issue. . . thrive!
Even research has shown repeatedly the power of positive self-talk!
Positive affirmations have been used to lower stress levels and heighten athletic performance. People cope more easily when going into new social gatherings and are less likely to make downward social comparisons when they practice self-affirmations.
Participants of one study that actually verbalized said self-affirmations before any new social encounter reduced their negative thoughts of being rejected and compared to other people and/or groups.
So how do you affirm yourself?

Participants of one study that actually verbalized said self-affirmations before any new social encounter reduced their negative thoughts of being rejected and compared to other people and/or groups.
So how do you affirm yourself?
You deliberately and consciously make positive statements about yourself in your mind and aloud that inspire and nourish your being.
If a statement feels frighteningly exciting, that is good sign - because you're pushing the edges of your comfort zone to grown and expand.
If it feels great to think an affirmation, then it is right and you're on target.
General or glowing affirmations about yourself don’t necessarily work in the time frame you always want -they usually take much longer. But if persist, they do work! Make no mistake about it.
The more loving attention you put on a self-declaration, the more quickly it will manifest.
An important note worth mentioning: putting attention on any affirmation does not mean suffocating it to death with exaggeration, impatience, irritation or anger. Being in a hurry is a not a loving supportive feeling. You would never thirve or flourish in such a toxic environment nor will your intentions. However, when you put your attention on a single positive self declaration with patience and gratitude it will feel like a mantra -gently spoken and without attachment . . .you want the affirmation with an open and vulnerable heart without feeling desperate or anxious to achieve it.

- When doubts or other negatives thoughts surface, treat them as if you were sitting in meditation:
- Observe them peacefully and curiously without self judgment...as if you are experiencing these new thoughts for the first time.
- Notice and acknowledge your self doubts and DO NOT FIGHT OR RESIST THEM.
For example,
- If you feel afraid,say, 'so be it' without judgment. Affirm: we all experience the feeling of fear, so what.
- If you feel lonely, say, 'so be it' without judgment. Affirm: I maybe alone and when I honor myself my loneliness is history.
- If you make a mistake, say, 'so be it' without judgment. Affirm: I give myself permission to be human and making mistakes is human.
- If you feel angry, say, 'so be it' without judgment. Affirm: I have the power to choose to respond or react and I choose be accountable daily and I decide when I give or keep my personal power.
The more you acknowledge the doubts without struggle, the more quickly they will go away. Always return to your affirmation, like you would go back to a mantra after a distracting series of thoughts.
Following this method will speed up your progress in creating and living from your loving self-affirmations.
"Be to you as you would to your best friend."
"Be to you as you would to your best friend."
MORE Sample Affirmations: :
Write down your daily affirmation give them fuel to manifest 100x faster then post them where you can see them numerous times everyday.- I do what needs to be done in my personal life/business life/health/family life/children(s) life. Choose one focus and make that your daily mantra.
- I do what needs to be done to live a healthy life.
- I do what needs to be done to contributes to others.
- I do what needs to be done that is challenging before doing what's fun.
- I do what needs to be done to build my area of weakness.
- I am the type of person who cares, listens, thinks and grows.
- I am the type of person who focuses on others rather than being self centered
- I am the type of person I admire.
- I am the type of person others admire
Until Next issue. . . thrive!

Your Biz: Is Your TV Robbing You?
Are You A TV Junkie?
Are you trading your real life for countless hours in front of the "numb tube"?
Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge fan of "DANCING", but I usually watch the last 15 minutes of the program just to see the outcome vs. spending an hour or two watching the whole thing. And on occasion, I will watch it recorded, without commercials, at a later time or day.
Have you ever kept track of how many hours you spend watching TV in a week?
If you want to grow your business, you must recognize and remove ALL the activities that "COST" you much MORE than wasted time because everything we do has a price.
Make sure you're not cheating yourself and your business, by spending too much "down time"!
According to Veronis Suhler Stevenson's Communications Industry Forecast and Report, quoted by the U.S. Census Bureau, in 2003, the average American spent 1,745 hours watching television, which works out to 145 hours a month.
Imagine, what you could do if you cut your TV time in half or more?
Imagine how much more prospecting you would make?
How many follow ups you could find time for?
How many clients you could close?
The choice is yours! We always make time for the top 3 things in our lives.
When will you decide to manage your time effectively?

Your Biz: The Art of Saying "NO" Effectively!
As a coach I am always on the lookout for ways people sabotage their own success.
There is one DESTRUCTIVE habit that many are plagued with regardless of age or background. The habit of saying 'yes' when they should be saying "no".
As a result, these people:
What about you? How often do you say "yes" to a client when you really mean "no"? If you struggle in this area, this article is for you.
Let's discuss why it feels SO difficult to turn people down...
The 1st Key Factor is most people have an enormous fear of rejection. They want everyone to like them, and by saying "yes" they ensure others do. However, saying "yes" when you mean "no" is a major form of selling yourself out. You are denying your authenticity from shining through and you're no longer leading by example. Don't fall into the trap of the ego-self saying, 'that's ok, it's worth doing whatever it takes as long as people like you!
The 2nd Key Factor is most people have a great fear of confrontation. At some point in your life you learned when people get upset or angry they are dangerous; so you avoid confrontation at all costs.
Keep in mind: Speaking YOUR truth is absolutely CRUCIAL for
2. Begin by acknowledging, thanking, or saying something positive to the inviter/invitation - make sure it's something sincere - Eg.“Thank you for thinking of me…"
3. Communicate your decision immediately. Avoid the temptation to say: "I'll get back to you" when you already know you want to say "no."
4. Make the reason for declining about YOU, not about the opportunity or other person. Eg. you could say - you already have maxed out your commitments to charities this year, or you've promised yourself you don' t lend money to friends; or you've promised your family that you would not take on any new projects that interfere with family time. By making the rejection about you, this reduces the likelihood of the other person taking the "rejection" personally....and who can disagree with you when you're time is maxed!
5. Speak your truth, even if you feel scared or intimidated. Strangely enought, it's better to say "no" and have a blow up than it is to be out of integrity by lying. Don't waste your energy worrying about handling the situation perfectly - just do it!
6. No apology needed; no need to defend your decision.
I invite you right now, to identify 1 place you are saying "yes" when you mean "no." You dont wnat to be filling your time with clients who drain your energy, so be willing to make room in your business for quality clientts to come in.
Begin by deciding to be true to yourself. If you're afraid, that's ok and normal, just continue to feel what you need to and still take the steps mentioned above to get back on track! I know you can do this - it's as easy as CHOOSING!

Your Health: 7 Common Foods that Cause Intolerance!
(NaturalNews)
Many people claim that their health improves tremendously by cutting out various foods. Avoiding food intolerances can be a huge step in minimizing ill health and boosting your wellbeing.
Here are the 7 most common food intolerances.
Sugar
If refined sugar was discovered today, it might be classed as a poison. It gives nothing to the body of any value. It causes the energy levels to become imbalanced, and a whole range of other possible symptoms including extreme fatigue. While it may give people with low energy a quick boost, there will be a low that follows, which causes sugar craving. Cravings are associated with obesity and many illnesses. Fortunately there are many amazing alternatives to sugar. (Stevia is one of the best!)
Caffeine
Many people live on caffeinated drinks such as coffee, coke, or red bull because of the short but sweet energy rush. However, caffeine causes adrenal gland exhaustion, which is a foundation for fatigue and ill health.
Wheat
Wheat can zap, energy, cause foggy head, and create pain in the digestive and urinary track systems. Many people find that their weight begins to drop and their mind is clearer when they reduce or give up wheat.
Gluten
Gluten includes wheat, oats, rye and barley. While wheat is the most common problem, some people need to take the extra step and avoid all gluten-containing foods.
Alcohol
Many people find that they feel much better when they reduce or cut out alcohol. Some people are able to have one type of alcohol and are required to avoid other types.
Yeast
Yeast overgrowth (also known as Candida) is a major player in many illnesses. While some people who have yeast overgrowth in their body can still consume yeast without negative consequences, others feel much better when they avoid it completely.
Nightshade Family
The nightshade family (green peppers, aubergine or eggplant, tomatoes and white potatoes) is known to increase pain for some people. Avoiding these can be especially beneficial for people with chronic pain.

Q: Einstein's Success Formula
Albert Einstein had a formula for success ~ not surprised right?
Einstein said, "If A equals success, then the formula is: A=X+Y+Z.
- X is work.
- Y is play.
- Z is keep your mouth shut.
Einstein no doubt had an excellent sense of humor. So let's look at the 3 variables in this equation.
1. Work 2. Play 3. Keeping your mouth shut!
1. Work: Albert Einstein had a tremendous work ethic (daily discipline of action, focus, determination and persistence) and because of his high ethics, he gave more to society and modern science than any person in recent times.
2. Play: Einstein, did NOT work 24/7 but rather he made time for fun and relaxation. His concept of fun may be different from yours or mine, none-the-less, he devoted some of his life and time to having what he perceives to be fun.
3. Keeping your mouth shut: This one is my personal favorite. The reason we have 2 ears and 1 mouth is so that we listen twice as much as we speak. I genuinely believe that the person who speaks the least says the most!
I sometimes hear of those who complain that their partner (male of female) speaks too much. The real reason he's irritated is not that he/she talks too much. It quite simply: he/she is irritated that they aren't able to talk. People who talk too much like talking alot so eventually they will speak in circles repeating themselves and eventually contradicting themselves. This desire and need to speak is often not to hear but to be heard.
Albert Einstein, however, had nothing to prove to anyone. He had no need to be the "Chatty" and showcase his s knowledge. It wasn't important to him to demonstrate his IQ to anyone he met. But rather, he learned the value and power of solitude and quiet.
Practice this week shifitng your mind-set from being a talker to a listener. It's been said that you can make more friends in five minutes by becoming interested in others than you can make in five years of trying to get others interested in you! Read the last sentence AGAIN!!
How do you become interested in others? You ask questions about them and then CLOSE YOUR MOUTH SHUT!
Dale Carnegie in his best-selling book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People" said, "one of the key premises of this book was that everyone's favorite subject is actually themselves and that the sweetest sound to their ears is the sound of their own name."
Einstein knew this and used this skill. He realized he could influence others by selecting his location to speak and validating others through the courtesy of listening to them.

Q: The 4 Seasons of LIFE ~ By Jim Rohn
"Life is like the changing seasons.
You can't change the seasons, but you can change yourself."
What will happen to you next month or next year? Whatever happens, you should follow certain overriding principles and predictable patterns.
As you enter this world, receive parental instruction, classroom instruction, and gain experience, you may set ambitious goals and dream lofty dreams. However, as the wheel of life turns, you are subject to human emotions and vicissitudes. You must learn to experience changing of lifecycles without being changed by them; to make a constant and conscious effort to improve yourself in the face of changing circumstances.
That is why I believe in the power and value of attitude. As I read about people, their deeds and their destiny, I become more convinced that it is our natural destiny to grow, succeed, prosper, and find happiness here and now in every season of life.
By your attitude, you decide to read, or not to read; try or give up; blame yourself for your failure or blame others; tell the truth or lie; act or procrastinate; advance or recede; and succeed or fail. The God-given gift of free choice enables you to select your own development and achievement—or your own destruction.
You are placed here on earth to develop yourself and enhance your environment. How fascinating that God would leave both projects—earth and people—unfinished! Across the rivers and streams, He built no bridges; He left the pictures unpainted, songs unsung, books unwritten, and space unexplored. To do those things, God created you and gave you the capacity to do some of these things. But it’s your choice. Attitude determines choice, and choice determines results. All that you are and all that you can become has been left to you. For as long as you live, you have the chance to work, and in the cycles and seasons of life, attitude is everything!
Life is like the changing seasons. You can't change the seasons, but you can change yourself.
Winter
The first lesson in life is to learn how to handle the winters. They come regularly. Some are long, some are short, some are difficult, some are easy, but they always come right after autumn. There are many kinds of winters: financial winters, social winters, emotional winters, and physical winters—the winter when you can’t figure things out, the winter when everything seems to go wrong, the winter of sickness or disappointment. So you must learn how to handle the winters—the difficulty that always comes after opportunity, the recession that comes after expansion. What can you do about winters? You can get stronger, wiser, and better. The winters won’t change, but you can. Before I understood this truth, I used to wish it was summer when it was winter. When things were difficult, I used to wish they were easy. Now I don’t wish winter were shorter or easier, I wish to be wiser and better. I don’t wish to have fewer problems, I wish to gain more skills. I don’t wish for less challenge; I wish for more wisdom.
"Life is like the changing seasons. You can't change the seasons, but you can change yourself."
Spring
Fortunately, following winter comes a season of activity and opportunity called springtime. It is the season for entering the fertile fields of life with seed, knowledge, commitment, and a determined effort. The mere arrival of spring is no sign that things will look great in the fall. You must do something with the spring. Either plant in the spring or go begging in the fall. Take advantage of the opportunity that spring brings. Believe in the promise of spring: as you sow, so shall you also reap. Faith provides you with an irrevocable law: for every disciplined effort you make, you will receive a multiple reward. For each cup you plant, you reap a bushel; for every good you give to another, you shall receive many in return. For every act of faith, you receive many rewards; and for every act of love you show, you receive a life of love in return.
Remember that springtime presents itself ever so briefly. You can be lulled into inactivity by its bounteous beauty. Pause long enough to soak in the aroma of the blossoming flowers, but then get to work, lest you awaken to find springtime gone with your seed still in your sack. With the intelligence, wisdom, and freedom of choice, you can exercise the discipline to plant seeds—in spite of the rocks, weeds, or other obstacles. These won’t destroy all your seeds if you plant intelligently enough.
- So choose action, not rest.
- Choose truth, not fantasy;
- a smile, not a frown;
- love, not animosity.
- Choose to work when springtime smiles on your life and
- to enjoy the good in life in all things.
Summer
In this season of life, learn how to nourish and protect your crops. As soon as you plant seeds, the busy bugs and noxious weeds are out to take things over. And they will take it, unless you prevent it. Know that all good will be attacked, and all values must be defended. Don’t ask why. Just know that it’s true. Let reality be your best beginning. Every garden will be invaded. Social values, political values, friendship values, and business values must be defended. Every garden must be tended all summer. If you don’t tend your garden, you’ll never have much of real value. But for those who make diligent efforts to plant, protect, and preserve, there are not enough birds, bugs, or other obstacles to destroy all the efforts of last spring.
Fall
Fall is the time to harvest the fruits of your springtime labor. You can learn how to reap in the fall without apology if you have done well and without complaint if you have not. Nothing is more exciting than bringing in a bounteous crop, and nothing more dreadful than facing a barren field in the fall. In all areas, what you put into this world, you get back from it. It is nature’s way of evening the score. So regardless of the results, take full responsibility for your crop. The highest form of maturity is accepting full responsibility for your life.
Life is constantly recycling itself, and part of your challenge is learning to change with the seasons and balance opposites: day/night, good/evil, life/death, water/land, summer/winter, recession/expansion, joy/sorrow. You face many challenges and changes, but you will continue to have one winter, spring, summer, and fall each year.
Success Each Season:
Much of your success will lie in your attitude and ability:
- to plant in the springtime of opportunity,
- to weed and cultivate in the testing time of summer,
- to harvest without apology or complaint in the season of fall, and
- to get stronger, wiser, better in the transition and learning times of winter.
It is not what happens to you that determines your future—
it is how you respond and what you do about it.

Your Biz: Sales Tips!
PROSPECTING/SALES Statistics
PROSPECTING STATS:
48% of sales people NEVER follow up with a prospect
25% of sales people make a 2 contact and Stop
12% of sales people only make 3 contacts and Stop
10% (ONLY) of sales people make MORE than 3 contacts
* * * * * * * * *
2% of sales are made on the 1st contact
3% of sales are made on the 2nd contact
5% of sales are made on the 3rd contact
10% of sales are made on the 4th contact
80% of sales are made on the 5th - 12th contact
Be honest with yourself. . .where are you on this scale? Don't expect to run before you stand or walk especially if you're sales performance is only at stopping at the 1st contact.
How about committing to increasing your performance at least bare minimum to sales level of making 2 contacts per person this year - that would only yield you an extra 1%. Having said that, this small increase would be a good start in developing the discipline necessary to accomplish outstanding results. Allow yourself to succeed by setting doable targets.
Remember, there is no penalty for over achieving but you must first achieve something.
- Commit to improving your sales skills today and every day,
- Set a doable target of either calling prospects you have never called yet or
- Calling a prospect an additional time even though they may not be interested.
You never know. . . keep in mind, when someone says 'no' to you all that means is 'not now'.

Your Health: Big FAT Lies - Continued!
In a recent book entitled, "Eat FAT Look THIN" by Bruce Fife, ND. I discovered the biggest lie of the century! What vegetable oils were originally made for and how these oils affect the human body. I'm sure, when I share this newly found information with people, some might think I'm 'nuts'. As nuts as I maybe perceived, that does not deter me...if I can be the thread of doubt that causes them to look further into this, I have achieved my goal.
We mentioned that consuming Mono-unsaturated & Saturated fats are vitally necessary for your body to produce adequate hormone levels and the Thyroid gland produces 98% of the body's hormones. If you haven't read the last article, I recommend you please read it first on my blog and then read this one.
Fats and oils contain a mixture of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Vegetable oils contain the highest percentage of polyunsaturated oils. Animal fats come from the flesh of animals and from milk. The vast majority of our vegetable oils comes from seeds such as cottonseed, sunflower seeds, safflower seeds and rapeseed (canola), but even grains (eg. corn), legumes (eg. soybeans and peanuts) and nuts (eg. almonds, walnuts, coconuts are seeds. Some oils come from fruits (eg. olive and avocado)
A healthy weight-loss diet must include adequate amounts of fat, and it must be the RIGHT KIND OF FAT.
Here's a chart of oils and their percentages of each fat ranking from best to worst:
POLYuns.. . MONOun. . . Saturated
Coconut: 2% 6% 92%
Palm kernel: 2% 12% 86%
Butter: 4% 30% 66%
Olive: 9% 77% 14%
Palm: 10% 39% 51%
Avocado: 14% 74% 12%
Almond: 18% 73% 9%
Chicken fat: 22% 47% 31%
Apricot: 31% 63% 6%
Canola: 31% 62% 7%
Peanut: 34% 48% 18%
Sesame: 43% 42% 15%
Cottonseed: 54% 19% 27%
Soybean: 61% 24% 15% (the most toxic oil on earth)
Corn: 62% 25% 13%
Walnut: 66% 24% 10%
Sunflower: 69% 20% 11%
Safflower 78% 13% 9%
As you can see from the chart the highest Saturated oil is Coconut. Others may try to scare you, though it is high in saturated fat - it contains ZERO cholesterol. It is the oil/fat of choice for ALL Athletes and they are the healthiest in societies.
Most people if asked which oils are the healthiest and which ones are not, they would respond polyunsaturated vegetable oils and saturated fats are the worst. These people have been deceived, contrary to what the vegetable oil industry has has us believe, POLYunsaturated oils carry far more health risks than do MONOunsaturated, Saturated fats or Cholesterol.
One of the biggest changes we've made this century has been they type of oils we consume. Our ancestors consumed butter, lard, coconut oil, palm oils and olive oil for the most part and they lived for thousands of years without the widespread of serious degenerative diseases that are present today.
How is it made?
In the refining process, the oil is separated from it source with heat and hydraulic pressure. After the first pressing, the remaining pulp is treated further with additional heat, pressure and petroleum solvents. The oils is then boiled to evaporate the toxic solvents. The oil is refined, bleached, and deodorized involving heating to temperatures of about 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Chemical preservatives are frequently added to retard oxidation. Modern processing removes all the non-oil components of the seed, making the oil essentially, colorless, tasteless, odorless and completely lacking nutrients. These oils provide lots of calories but little nutrition. Almost all of the vegetable oils sold in stores today are of this type.
Use oils that smell like the foods from which they come from. Olive oil should taste like the fresh olives and almonds should taste like almonds, unless it has been heavily refined.
However, oils such as Soybean oil has a very disagreeable flavor and must be deodorized to make it palatable. Unprocessed soybean oil has a horrible taste and must undergo harsh extraction and chemical treatments to remove its displeasing flavor - therefore it is always highly processed and unfit to eat.
Hydrogenation was developed by Proctor and Gamble company in 1907. It is the process that transforms liquid oils into a solid fat that would be cheap and used in place of lard and tallow in making soap and candles. The success of their cheap imitation lard boosted company profits and before long, they reasoned why not sell it as food since it resembled lard!!!
How is OIL Hydrogenated?
The process of hydrogenation begins with refined vegetable oils mostly from Soybean oil. The oil is mixed with tiny metal particles - usually nickel oxide, which is very toxic and impossible to completely remove- to act as a chemical catalyst. Under high pressures and temperatures hydrogen gas is squeezed into the oil and chemically bonded to the fat molecules. Emulsifiers and starch are then forced into the mixture to give it a better consistency. The mixture is again subjected to high temperatures in a steam-cleaning process to remove it horrible odor. They hydrogenated process is now complete, but the resulting oil is a disgusting gray color, more like what you'd expect to see in a jar of axle grease, so it is bleached to give it a more appetizing white appearance. The final result is hydrogenated vegetable oil, or as we see it on the store shelves, shortening. This mixture is compressed and packaged in blocks or tubs, ready to be enjoyed on a slice of bread. Just knowing how margarine and shortening are made is enough to keep me from eating them. . . (yikes).
Liquid vegetable oils you buy from the store aren't much better. The heat used in the extraction and refining process also creates trans fatty acids. So that bottle of corn or safflower oil you have on the kitchen shelf contains trans fatty acids even though it has not been hydrogenated. Unless the vegetable oil has been 'cold pressed' or 'expeller pressed' it contains an average of 15% trans fatty acids. In comparison, margarine and shortening average about 35% but some brands can run as high as 48%.
Saturated fats from any source are much more resistant to temperatures used in cooking, do not form trans fatty acids therefore, making better cooking oils. Saturated fats are the safest to use in cooking.
HOW TO BOOST YOUR ENERGY?
{"When someone comes to me and says, "I'm always tired, what can I do to get more energy without taking drugs or using caffeine?"
My answer is quick and simple, "Use coconut oil."} ~ Dr. Bruce Fife
Coconut oil can give you more energy and help you lose weight if you don't over do it by consuming more calories than your body needs to fuel daily activities.
The biggest major difference between coconut oil and any other fats is in the way it is digested and metabolized. Coconut oil is a MCFA - Medium Chain Fatty Acid. Most other fats whether they are Saturated or Unsaturated are in the form of LCFA - Long Chain Fatty Acid. MCFA are much smaller and size makes a big difference.
LCFA are fats that are slowly broken down by digestive enzymes into units small enough to be absorbed through the intestinal wall. As they pass through the intestinal lining they are gathered together and packaged into little bundles of fat (lipid) and protein called lipoproteins. these lipoproteins are sent into the bloodstream where they circulate throughout the body. As they circulate in the blood, the fats are distributed to all the tissues of the body. These are the fats that end up on artery walls and fill up fat cells. this is how fat builds up in our fat tissues. These lipoproteins continue to circulate in the bloodstream until most all of the fat is distributed. Cholesterol, monounsaturated fat, and polyunsatured fat are all packaged together into lipoproteins and carried throughout the body in this way. The vast majority of fats you eat every day are made up of LCFA.
Medium Chain - MCFA in coconut oil, however are processed differently. Because of their smaller size, MCFA don't require pancreatic enzymes for digestion. By the time these fats reach the intestinal tract, they are already broken down into individual molecules. Instead of being absorbed through the intestinal wall like LCFA, they are channeled directly into the liver. Here they are converted into energy to fuel metabolism. MCFA are not packaged into lipoproteins like other fats, so they don't circulate througout the body adding fat to fat cells. Coconut oil goes to the liver to produce energy, not body fat. This difference in the way your body processes MCFA is very important in respect to metabolism and body weight.
That sums it up. . . I highly recommend this book (I don't get a penny recommending it).
It contains recipes of food combinations for all 3 major meals and how to incorporate coconut oil with every meal. He even has recipes for making healthy mayonaise using healthy fats. I hope I have sparked a fire inside you to take better care of your health... you have a great tool in your possession right now - spread the word, take personal action and be accountable to your weight and health!
