Are Super Green Foods… Really Super?

By Robert Saladino

Are the Super Green Foods Really Super?

Wheat Grass: As the name implies comes from sprouted grains. Taking shots of wheat grass like you would if you were taking shots of vodka is extremely popular in places like Manhattan and California. I remember working out at a very trendy health club located on the Upper West Side, where people would actually line up out the door for this stuff. One day after a hard exercise session the owner finally convinced me to give it a shot, I accepted. To my surprise they were right!! I definitely felt different? But not the kind of difference I would pay money for. My stomach was upset for hours, along with a horrible case of flatulence and the flavor tasted pretty much like I thought it would, like liquidized grass!

Many health food stores often make the grandiose statement that 1 ounce of wheat grass is nutritionally equivalent to 1 kg (2.2 lbs) of green vegetables. That’s a 1:35 ratio! No wonder I had so much gas!! The actually numbers from the USDA when comparing wheat grass with broccoli and spinach demonstrate that ounce for ounce there is nothing substantially different from the 3, (see table 1). Looks like Popeye was right! Just eat your spinach kids.

Table 1. Nutrient comparison of 1 oz (28.35 g)[dubious – discuss]of wheatgrass juice, broccoli and spinach.

Data on broccoli and spinach from USDA database.[3]Data on Wheatgrass juice from indoor grown wheatgrass.[2]

Proponents claim improvement in energy, digestion (opposite for me) and a purifying and detoxifying effect on the blood. Maybe that’s why my tongue was green for the rest of the day? No studies have been performed to warrant these claims.

• Blue-Green/Algae/Spirulina: organisms containing blue pigment and chlorophyll that habitant seas and lakes. They provide a major source of nutrients for fish and amphibians. Did you ever notice how perfectly divided the earth’s resources are between man and animal? My guess is unless you have gills there is no reason to think there are any benefits from eating algae. These substances contain toxins called microcystins that can be harmful to pregnant women and children, gee I wonder why?

• Chlorella: More algae goop. Chlorella has the highest chlorophyll levels of all the super greenies already mentioned. The Chlorophyll molecule is very similar to human hemoglobin. This in theory (a lot of theory here) will aid in blood flow and help detoxify the body. Sorry but the broken record is about to play again: THIS IS NOT SUBSTANTIATED BY RESEARCH.

Exercise has been proven to be one of the things that actually increases plasma volume. More volume means the blood is more dilute and less likely to cause platelet (disc shape cells that form blood clots) stickiness. Sedentary people have thicker platelets which through time can form blood clots in blood vessels and cause heart attacks or strokes.

Translation: active people have a lower risk of heart disease and strokes. One of the reasons for this is because they have less sticky blood, and it’s not because they drink Chlorella. Your best bet is to go for a brisk walk right past that long line at the health food store and keep going for about 30 min. There are so many different kinds of healthy, edible, vegetables; you have no reason to spend additional money on these on items. Just go to the local grocery store and enjoy!

NLP – 5 Techniques To Gain A Superpower Memory For A Super Fast Learning

By Pradeep Aggarwal

Revealing you the NLP secrets that can help you raise your memory status for the best outcome in your tasks. There is no one in the world who does not desire a powerful memory. A memory is the thing of which everyone desires. The memory enables you to face the challenges and perform tasks.

The following are some of the NLP techniques that can help you increase your memory.

1. Tilt back and learn from your past: This is one of the most powerful techniques that facilitates your learning. This NLP technique provides you a scope to learn from your past experiences. The experiences can either good or bad. That does not matter in NLP.

What matters in NLP is the fact that you derive at least an inspiration from your past. Try to learn from your past and apply it to your present for a flawless future.

2. Find out the factors that limits you or your personality: With the help of the NLP techniques find out the factors that limits you and your personality. Frame NLP questions to yourself. With NLP ask yourself questions such as, ‘why am I not able to achieve this goal?’ ‘Why am I always unsuccessful in my tasks?’ ‘What is stopping from achieving that goal?’ ‘Where are these limitations originated from?’ ‘How can improve on them?’ These are the NLP questions; find out to get the answers for these questions.

3. Use Representational form of learning: This is one of the most powerful NLP techniques. This NLP technique requires you to connect or link your learning with any modality. There are several modalities in NLP. The modalities are nothing but the way that you use to remember their subject.

The modalities are the easy NLP techniques that help you make the learning interesting and easy rather than a stressed event. Some of the modalities are used in NLP. These 4 modalities works wonder.

I.Visual modality: This is the most used modality in NLP. It implies that a person uses the visual images or pictures to remember the things that he has learned. As and when he wants that part of information stored in his memory, he will recollect that picture and regain the information stored.

Secrets of Super Learning Pt 1

Author: Benjamin Langley

There is a line we have to walk between ‘not prepared’ and ‘over prepared’. In actuality, it is very difficult to be ‘over prepared’, but people commonly use more preparation as an excuse to delay the actual event. Over preparation is a form of procrastination!
But how much preparation is enough? This depends on the situation. Usually it is preferable to learn just the minimum necessary to perform the skill marginally well; then it is time to get into real-world application.

As an example, in my karate class, whenever we introduce a new student to sparring, they just have a few techniques. A roundhouse kick, a sidekick, and some variation on jab-cross, and they’re ready to go. This is just a few out of thousands of techniques that could be used in sparring. This doesn’t even bring into account variations of timing, feints, or more complicated footwork. All that can be learned later, though. It won’t even make sense to a beginner if they don’t have a context in which to understand it. The context they need is a few ‘live’ sparring matches (light contact to start, of course).

We have to have a real-world context to apply our reason. If we don’t, it is just imagination. A spectator will never understand what it is to be a player (but they usually think they do).

Another example is public speaking. Make sure the speaker knows his/her material; this is the only consideration that should be given a significant amount of time before actual speaking engagements. Once they are familiar with the material, give the speaker a few tips (maybe projection of voice, friendliness in demeanor, and a quick relaxation technique to calm down), and then get them in front of an audience. Will unforeseen challenges arise? Of course! But it is much better (and less time consuming) to deal with the challenges that do arise than to pretend you can anticipate every challenge that ‘might’ arise.

If we have to choose one extreme or the other, I generally prefer to take action. I have been so caught up in analysis and preparation in the past that on occasion I never actually got around to performing the skill. Some preparation is good, but it can easily be taken to useless extremes.

Once you have taken action, though, you might decide to ‘adjust your formula’. To use the karate example again, once you have done some ‘live’ sparring, you might choose to spend quite a bit of time perfecting a particular technique (maybe your sidekick) in solo practice or with a partner before you use it in a ‘live’ situation again. If you decide to do this, be sure to base this decision on your real-world experience.

As I have said before, the most important thing to do is take action. Once you have taken action, a world of possibilities opens up for you. Endless permutations of skill development will present themselves once you practice your skill in a ‘live’ environment. This often seems to be the case before taking action as well. The only difference is the possibilities that arise after taking action are based on real world experience… not your imagination!

About the Author

Benjamin Langley has been studying and training in meditation, yoga, and other sciences of the mind for over 10 years. He regularly writes and shares powerful insights on his own blog. Come take a look: http://peacefulprosperity.com/blog

Most of us have a wide range of tasks we have to do in normal week.  It might study or reading if we are are student.  It might be marking reports if we are a teacher.

Once I believed that the use of  Super Learning Music was limited to education.

But once I realized that whenever I wanted a calm, incisive, clear-thinking mind, was the time for Super Learning Music.

For example – one of my other businesses about Business Building & Coaching.  That site is Townsville Business Coach.

I was working on building some Yellow Pages adverts for clients – and I needed to think clearly and at several different levels.  Playing the music eased me into a relaxed alpha state – the copy just flowed.

I play it while I am driving, and when I arrive I now notice how calm and imperturbable I feel.

The key to successful use is to play it at a level just loud enough to hear.

You can purchase this music either on CD or in MP3.  MP3 is more and more popular as it costs less, is immediately delivered, and is easy.  The CD is great as a gift, or as a back-up.  Sadly, sometimes MP3 players die!

Cheers

Apart from the music that we have collected for our superlearning and creativity tasks at 60 beats per minute – it is nice to also use other tunes from the Baroque era that also have great impact.

One such piece is Mozarts Concerto for two pianos as below. It is in HD so it might load a bit slowly – but worth it.

"Discover The Simple Secret To Faster Reading or Learning in Your Life!"

Many years ago I bought a course called Photoreading. Prior to that I did a ‘speedreading’ course called Evelyn Wood Reading Dynamics.

In the meantime I have read or studied at least 20 different speed learning systems. All of these worked for me. I am pretty lazy – so I only want to do as little ‘work’ as possible. What I have found is there is a common structure to evolving our learning systems to be more efficient. Each course follows the general path to ‘perturbation’ as described in the video from Marshall Thurber below.

Before you watch the video – remember that before reading or watching anything – choose what you would like to get from the item.  For example some great goals from watching the video might be:

-  Get an unstanding of the framework of HOW things evolve to more sophisticated structures that can cope with a higher rate of learning

-  See and understand the basics on how to “speed read”

-  Get some skills that you can apply to anywhere

OK – now watch Marshall – who is a very cool dude, who has worked with several of the people who have had extraordinary impact on our planet.

One analogy for me is when you have been driving on the highway at pretty high speeds for a reasonable time, and then there is a very low speed limit.  It seems incredibly slow and I have lots of time to take in tons of detail.

The flip side is when you first start to drive way too fast – you cant take all the data in.  Then it gets easier, and driving at that rate becomes ‘normal’.  [I am not saying it is ok to speed on the highway!]  Your brain has evolved [or been 'perturbed'] to a higher level system.  This sort of also answers the questions about whether comprehension goes down when we read really quickly.

Naturally you will be playing your Superlearning Music at 60 beats to do any learning  most easily.

Please post your ideas and insights [or even disagree if you do!] in the comments below.

If we are going to learn and develop we may as well do it with as little waste and as few constraints as possible.

Cheers

James

Today I was listening to a course on becoming more effective – in anything.

It reviewed the ideas of a path to learning – starting with Unconscious Incompetenence, then Conscious Incompetence, then Conscious Competence, and finally Unconscious Competence. So – in terms of reading – You dont know that you cant read, then you know that you cant read, then you can read by focusing and working to read, then you read without thinking.

The idea of overlearning was that we can choose to reach to or past the the level of unconscious competence. We have the ability to select skills to reach this level. My son reads as fast as I do, which is quite fast. He is nine years old. At an early stage we (he and I) decided that it would be great to be able to read really really well – and as fast as he wanted. Which is what we did. Now his school work is a doddle for him.

The same principle can be applied to anything. If you learn to juggle – then dont stop practicing when you can just do it ‘OK”. Keep going until you can do it with your eyes closed [almost]. That is assuming that you have chosen this as a key skill to ‘overlearn’.

Most of the time we learn stuff or skills – and when we get to an OK level – we stop improving. We either move on to a new skill or project, or we just allow ourselves to get a bit bored – or just decide not to get any better at it.

A key point to learning is that if we start with the expectation of at least unconscious competence as our standard – that is what we will get. Then once we reach this level – it is more available and more useful in our futures.

How many people out there are OK typists? Either chicken pecking or just going really slowly? This might be one of the skills that is worth overlearning. If you are going to be using a keyboard as a major part of your communication strategy – why on earth would you not choose to become superb at it? If you could type 3 times faster than you do now – what impact would it have on your productivity and power? Also – if you choose to be a slow typist – you are telling your brain it is ok to go slowly so your fingers can keep up.

Is the output side to slow reading. Some people still believe that reading slowly gives better comprehension – which you know is not true. If you dont know that – get on the Superlearn 101 Newsletter. I wonder if the same people who type slowly are also slow readers. Perhaps believing that slow typing is more accurate or easier to read? Ok that is a bit harsh – but – the principle of choosing skills to overlearn is a powerful one.

Your list of things to overlearn can come from your work, your study, or your play. There will be a massive benefit when you choose a talent or skill or overlearn – nail it – and move to the next one. Dont stop at being just consciously competent – go way beyond! Make your list and feel free to post below.
