Stand up straight and don't slouch.

Part of being a kid is having our parents tell us to stand up tall about a million and a half times. I'm sure our parents just wanted us to look good and not look like a lazy slouch... but who would have known just how accurate their advice was with regards to maximizing the health of our bodies.

Yes, it's true, many people the fear the 'ugliness' and sloppiness' that poor posture brings - nobody wants to have a massive hump at the base of their neck when they are older - but poor posture affects ALL aspects of your health and physiology - not just the physical ones.

The purpose of this podcast is to cover the adverse health effects that poor posture has on your body mechanics and physiology.

What We Covered

What is considered bad posture and why. It's one thing to know that having bad posture is bad for you, but why is it bad for you? What makes it that way?
A fundamental review of anatomy and physiology, specifically focusing on your spine and nerve system and how the neuro-spinal core is the control system of the body.
How bad posture affects the things you know about but how it might also be affecting things in your body you might not know about as well. Once you understand how the mechanics of your spine work, this will make more sense.
Tips and strategies for improving your posture. It's easy to say or think 'I'm just going to spend more time sitting up, or I'll get a stand-up desk that will help," but that might not be the best strategy.

#299 Does Organic Food Reduce Cancer

An article reviewing a study posted on October 23rd by the New York Times claimed that people who ate more organic meat, dairy and produce saw their cancer risk drop by 25%.

As you can imagine, and hence why we're doing a podcast on this article, the headline caught our attention.

Twenty-five perfect is quite a number. Imagine your salary increased by twenty-five percent? We would imagine you being very thrilled by this fact and rightfully so.

The purpose of this podcast is to break down the article and talk about the possible meanings and ramifications of such a finding, exactly what it means and how we believe you could best apply this to your life with the most amazing results.

What We Covered

Requirements vs. Strategies. Are you wondering why we start with this? I hope you are. You cannot escape reality and the nature of your body. Sometimes there are peer-reviewed published studies that seem to fly in the face of reality. The latest one that comes to mind is claiming eggs are just as dangerous as smoking. It's essential for you to remember how your body works and what your body needs to be healthy.
A breakdown of the study.
What this study and the conclusion could mean for you and your family's health.
What can you do if you're on a limited budget and can't necessarily buy organic food?
The hierarchy principle and where the most bang for your buck can be found with organic food.

#298 15 Qualities of Mentally Tough People

It's called a mindset because you get to choose how you want to 'set' your 'mind.' For us at Life By Design this idea was an instant game changer. It means that you get to dictate the pace of your life, it means that you get to be in control.

To be totally clear, and to play devil's advocate for that last statement, it is true, nobody completely controls their lives. We interact with people whom we can't control, the outside world is mostly unpredictable, and crap hit's the fan for all of us. So how can you be in control? You are in control because you get to choose how you respond to the situations you are dealt.

Mentally tough people respond differently.

Charles Darrow, who lost everything during the 1929 stock market crash leading into the great depression, did not succumb to the malaise and fear of being without money, he created a game about losing money, and how to make more called Monopoly, I'm sure you've heard of it. I'm also sure you know that Monopoly still to this day, sells about 20,000 units per year.

The purpose of this podcast is to review the success.com article and give the Life By Design perspective on this list of 15. Do they apply and how can you leverage them in your life.

What I Covered

A play by play, step by step review of the success.com article.
Which ones I liked, which ones I didn't and why.
How this all applies to you and how you can leverage it and grow.
