Now THIS is interesting…

[ Editor's Note:  Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you.]

Have you ever started out to do one thing but ended up doing something different?

Night and day different?

Remember how Post-It Notes were invented?

Some guy was trying to come up with a “permanent” glue.

Obviously he failed… and he considered it a failure… but 3M had another idea.

The guy was all of a sudden Joe Brilliant.

Well, I’m feeling a bit like Joe today.

But this is much more interesting to you than Post-It Notes…

It’s about s – e – x… sorta.

Not dirty, I’m talking about couple’s stuff here.

My new book just came out today about it.

But it didn’t start off that way at all.

In fact … get this… I was co-writing a book with medical researcher Frank Mangano on lowering blood pressure without meds… really.

So how did this big U-turn occur?

Okay, okay…. funny, true story:

I read this article from a medical journal about how “lowering blood pressure would help sexual-performance-problems.”

Ding. The lightbulb went off in my head.

You see, lowering blood pressure is probably the most healthy thing you can do for yourself.

But face it — it’s really, really BORING.

I mean, who really cares about their blood pressure unless their doctor says, “Look, lower your blood pressure or you’ll die in six months.”

Then you care.

Are you with me?

I’m right and we all know it.

Heck, I was the same way.

I ignored my blood pressure for years until it hit stroke-level back in my 30s.

Then I could no longer ignore it.

I found every natural alternative possible… which led me to Frank’s books… and they are the BEST.

So Frank comes to me and asks me to contribute to his very popular on-the-shelf book “The Blood Pressure Miracle” –

… and I said,

“Hey, guess what I just read?”

Since he’s the researcher, I said, “Go see if there’s any truth to this.”

The results BLEW MY MIND.

Not only is there truth to it — that, yes… lowering blood pressure not only extends your life but also extends your sexlife as well — but WOW… it’s a major player in everything from male-ED to females feeling “out of the mood.”

It’s crazy, but it’s true.

It makes sense once you read this:

Hang with me: It gets better…

So Frank digs up article after article on the subject of high blood pressure and LOW sexual-energy and performance… and we have a much more compelling reason to want to lower our blood pressure, now don’t we?

But we wanted more.

I said, “Look Frank, I get a lot of emails about sex-after-30… people who want to feel more kick, more alive in that area of their lives… and above all, closer to their mates.”

So… we decided to add another book on TOP of our book…

… a book on improving sexual-pleasure for couples only. “RevolutionarySex” is the name of it. My friend Alex Allman wrote it…and just like that we had two books instead of one.

But that’s not all… ( told you… this story is interesting… ; )

THEN my friend Jeff Anderson comes out with his “homemade V” — and guys, we know what “V” stands for.

Listen: V (little blue things) is really dangerous stuff. It really is. It RAISES blood pressure for one thing. For another it can cause addiction and memory loss.

But Jeff’s version is all-natural, cheap (we’re talking pennies instead of dollars per “pill” to make) and above all… SAFE.

So all of a sudden… THREE books (plus an audio)… so…

It became a System, not a book.

And the topic went from “lowering blood pressure” to …

… How you can completely solve your sexual-performance-problems and increase your pleasure all by lowering blood pressure naturally without meds.”

What a concept…

…and it WORKS.

Here are the advantages…

1. If you take blood pressure meds… and a lot of you do… your “kick in the stick” suffers. A lot. Some men suffer all the way, which lead them to taking the V stuff…

… and that stuff ‘raises’ blood pressure.

Bad, bad combo. Our System gets you off of that dangerous and expensive cycle of drugs and on to a natural, easy approach that also adds pleasure to your relationship.

2. Cheaper… by far… than meds.

3. Something you can read and do as a couple or as a single person.

4. You get healthy and you get your vigor back at the same time. Ladies too.

5. It’s guaranteed-to-work… 60 days on us.

I’m very proud of this System. We put a lot of time, research and effort into it.

P.S. There’s even more to this story –

We created an “Advanced Health and Relationship-Saver Kit” that comes with the most awesome self-hypnosis audios to help you relieve stress, lower pressure, increased your “drive”, and more.

Here’s to your health… and your increased pleasure and enjoyment.

Six steps in six days to win the battle over ‘Boomeritis’

(ARA) – If you are one of the 27 million Americans who suffer with joint pain from osteoarthritis (OA), you are not alone.

Eighty-four percent of OA sufferers report joint pain as an intrusive part of their daily lives, which prevents them from participating in activities including yard work, driving and household chores. Additionally, over half haven’t been able to participate in sports as much as they’d like, according to a new independent study funded by Elations, a fruit-flavored glucosamine and chondroitin drink.

These daily experiences of aches and pains can be attributed to �œBoomeritis,” an increase of joint aches, pains, injuries and ailments experienced by older active adults as they reach their 40s, 50s and beyond. The term Boomeritis was coined in 1999 by Dr. Nicholas A. DiNubile, an orthopedic surgeon at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania.

“This year marks the 10-year anniversary of Boomeritis, and it’s time to take action,” says Andrea Metcalf, nationally recognized baby boomer fitness expert and trainer. “Overcoming OA and battling the effects of Boomeritis means making the effort to exercise, supplement and practice small steps daily to help your body slow down the deterioration of joint and bone strength that naturally comes with aging.”

To win the battle over Boomeritis, Metcalf recommends six steps:

* Practice anti-inflammatory living. Reduce joint inflammation and discomfort by eating a diet that includes lean proteins, fresh fruits and vegetables and highly absorbable glucosamine and chondroitin supplements such as Elations. When taken daily it can help relieve joint discomfort in just six days. Learn more at www.elations.com.

* Do two yoga poses. Tree pose and downward dog really help balance your body. Yoga in general helps calm the body. The tree pose (standing on one leg, place left foot on the inside of the right leg with hands in a prayer position at chest) helps strengthen the lower body and core while the downward dog (hands on ground out in front with hips high and heels down) helps stretch the hamstrings and lower back.

* Get moving. Try to move your body at least 10 minutes after each meal or three times a day. Everyone needs regular exercise, which helps keep your muscles toned and joints flexible.

* Stretch on all fours. The “pointer” is a move done on hands and knees involving one arm reaching forward and the opposite leg reaching back. Hold for at least four counts and repeat on the other side. This move helps strengthen the core and the back for better posture.

* Get your five-a-day. Make sure you are getting your five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. They contain essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber that may help protect you from chronic diseases and help you maintain your weight. Go to www.fruitsandveggiesmatter.gov for helpful tips on how you can get your daily servings.

* Get at least six hours of sleep per night. Proper rest and recovery aids the body’s ability to rebuild and rejuvenate. Studies have shown that adults who sleep six to seven hours a night live longer.

An Overview Of A Fitness Lifestyle

Much of our own individual health depends upon choices we make and our own lifestyles and personal habits. If we choose to partake in unhealthy habits such as consuming alcohol, smoking, or using drugs we will reap the consequences resulting in poor health. Likewise if we abuse food in such ways that we allow ourselves to put on too much weight to the point that it becomes unhealthy we have done it to ourselves.

Other than falling into the vices mentioned above the next biggest problem that most Americans face is that they typically do not eat a nutritional diet. In the fast paced world of today where in most households both parents work to make ends meet there is seldom a healthy breakfast and often dinner is a call in pizza.

So how do we decide what kind of diet is proper? There are two main camps for this debate and the range between them is great. Some people espouse that we should only eat totally natural and organic foods such as fruits, vegetables, and nuts. These are the proponents of the “raw” lifestyle. To those who follow this type of nutritional regimen any and all animal products of any kind are completely disallowed including eggs and fish plus they refuse to eat anything that has been refined and processed as well.

On the other side of the spectrum are those who point to the USDA Food Pyramid as the guide to eating correctly saying that it will supply you with all the nutrition that you need for health. The problem with this is that they don’t consider that many of these foods are nutrient depleted and don’t give us the nutritional value that they should.

The best approach really is to meet somewhere in the middle while practicing moderation in portions. One should still avoid all refined and processed foods. One easy way to do this is to avoid all white foods. White bread, white sugar, and white rice have all been processed. Instead stick with natural whole grain foods like brown rice and whole wheat bread.

Eat lean meats in moderation and limit them to only a few ounces a week. It is better to eat fresh fish and organic poultry along with nuts to get the protein you need to take in.

For carbohydrates stick to natural fruits that have not been canned or packaged to avoid sugars and preservatives.

Lastly you have heard it a million times. Drink plenty of water, at least a gallon a day or more if you are exercising intensely which you should be.

An Overview Of A Healthy Lifestyle

Fitness Lifestyle

If you want to reach optimal health, have a great body and eat a nutritious diet, look into living a fitness lifestyle. A fitness lifestyle is nothing new, it just accents the healthy things you can do in our society on a daily basis, making them part of your normal daily routine.

Most people aren’t able to keep their weight down, or lose muscle because their lifestyles sometimes don’t mesh well with a fitness lifestyle. If you are always busy at work, very stressed out or find that you are too tired to work out and instead are playing video games or watching TV, then you know how difficult it is to keep a fitness lifestyle.

The goal of a fitness lifestyle is to mesh your exercise routine and good eating habits into your normal daily life so it isn’t hard work or even work at all to make sure you are on the right track.

It isn’t easy to keep a fitness lifestyle, but with enough determination and will power, you can turn your bad habits into healthy, fitness habits in a short period of time. Think about any routine you do from going to work in the morning to picking your kids up at school. These routines come natural, because you have no choice. Use this same logic on fitness. You deserve better meals than fast food and you deserve to treat your body good with exercise rather than sitting in front of the TV. If you are looking to live a fitness lifestyle, follow the above tips.
