Understanding Men Part 13 – Understand YOUR man

There are specific stages that all men go through during their lifetimes.

The stages of a man’s life

• Pages — From birth to puberty. They are knight wannabes. They tend to be single-focused and much more picky than women.
• Knights — Starts from puberty until late twenties. They are characterized by adventure.
• Princes — From late twenties to early thirties. This stage is all about building. They are painfully aware that they are not a king. The early prince is concerned about what he will be king of. The compulsion to work is very intense. The late prince is much more confident and see more to life (this portion of this stage lasts only about six months).
• Tunnel men — Transition phase between being a prince and a king. Better known as a mid-life crisis.
• Kings — Characterized as providers. Have a strong sense of self and are clear about who they are.

Learn more details about these stages through audio CD’s called The Amazing Development of Men. Comment below if you’d like more info.

Champions Are Of Good Cheer

The great ones carefully create world-class results by consciously constructing every thought with a sunny disposition from within.  The world class is of good cheer by conscious choice. They are aware that their thoughts are the creators of their circumstances. Amateurs, on the other hand, create mediocre circumstances inadvertently by the thoughts they in particular entertain which includes longing and lack.

Understanding that their inner world creates and determines their outer world and champions embrace the role of the successful, fulfilled and happy human being until the part becomes them.  In order to attract extraordinary success, fulfillment and happiness they must first become these exact things. Like attracts like, success breeds success, happiness manifests happiness.  We don’t attract what we desire…we attract what we are.  This statement alone is why the world class consciously chooses to be of good cheer.*

Eat Well to Heal Faster!

Nothing impinges on an active lifestyle like injury. And as frustrating and inconvenient as it can be, we know that the doctor’s primary Rx will be rest. However, certain foods may facilitate the healing process. A few nutrients your body needs to recover:

1)CALCIUM: Your body needs calcium to build and maintain bone health as well as to ensure proper functioning of muscles and nerves. Yogurt, milk, salmon, and collard greens are great calcium rich choices, all containing over 300mg per serving.
2)LYSINE: Lysine is an essential amino acid, which means that our bodies need but do not produce it. Lysine increases the amount of calcium absorbed by your bones and helps prevent the loss of calcium through urine. It also assists in the formation of muscle protein and thus is critical after an injury or operation. Though it is available in supplements, the easiest way to increase your lysine intake is through protein rich foods like poultry, cheese, soy protein, and nuts.
3)VITAMIN C: Vitamin C assists in the formation of collagen, the protein used to make skin, scar tissue, ligaments, tendons, and blood vessels. It is also crucial in the repair and maintenance of cartilage and bones. Like lysine, Vitamin C is not produced by our bodies so we must make sure we consume enough of it. All fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C. The highest C-foods include oranges, leafy greens, green peppers, tomatoes or broccoli.

So eat well to get well soon!

Yogurt is praised by dietitians and docs as a waistline friendly but wholesome breakfast or snack. It is a great nutritional pick for it’s high calcium content. A calcium-rich diet helps build strong bones early in life and prevent osteoporosis later on.

Need another great reason to top off your cereal with yogurt?

The active cultures also may help prevent yeast infections in women. Consumption of yogurt lowers the vaginal pH (measure of acidity or basicity), helping our bodies wart off these painful infections.
Greek yogurt is your best bet, with more protein and less fat than regular yogurt. It also has up to fifty percent less salt then standard varieties. The best part- Even fat-free varieties of Greek yogurt have a creamy, thick texture bound to please your palette.
