WORDS TO LIVE BY

TOTAL HEALTH GUIDE

Health Total believes that to be in good health is to be in a state of balance. Health is a biological equilibrium that exists within in our body. In order to achieve this balance, we need to fine tune our body at all levels which can be achieved by doing meaningful work, in a conscientious and responsible manner, exercise, eating correctly and having a positive attitude towards ourselves and others.
Health Total offers solution for a lifetime of good health. Ours is the only program that repairs, rejuvenates and nourishes the individual body by providing the desired solution. Our program is customized for each individual based on the following parameters, based on genetics, lifestyle prakruti (body type) and age.
We work on natural body cycle and our programs are designed on a unique four-step process. i.e.
Detoxification
The body needs to be detoxified to improve receptivity and to increase the bioavailability of nutrients in the human body. This is done by the foods, which are rich in antioxidants which arrest premature aging.
Rejuvenation
Once the body has been detoxified, it absorbs nutrients from food more easily and efficiently. Therefore the food that you eat at this stage actually rejuvenates your system.
Nourishment
After ensuring that the body is now effectively absorbing nutrients from the food, it is automatically nourished by way of reaching its optimum metabolism.
Maintenance
Once we have taken you through this entire process and you have achieved the desired result, we teach you to maintain the same throughout your life.
Based on the above principles, Health Total provides solutions for the following disorders:
Weight Management
Due to abusive lifestyle and by consuming refined foods, stress, hormonal imbalance etc, we develop fattening metabolisms, which in turn lead to obesity. Health Total offers programs, which corrects obesity through individualized food plan, herbal therapy and regular brisk walks.
Health and Hi Energy
Each of us start life with abundant energy. As life goes on overwork, stress, pollution add toxic overload in our body causing the body to slow down. To keep the body working, we whip the body into exhaustion by taking stimulants like cigarettes, tea, coffee, colas etc. This leads to further depletion of real energy. Our health and Hi energy program help you to achieve peak performance through food.
Detoxifier Plus
Detoxification or inner cleansing simply means removing toxins from the body. Everyone needs to detoxify as we all breathe polluted air, eat toxic food and drink water that is contaminated with pollutants. (Part of the unique four - step process) Helps you attain that elusive inner beauty. To be introduced to foods, which are rich in antioxidants that arrest premature aging.
Cholesterol Buster
High levels of cholesterol are related to intake of processed foods, deficient sedentary lifestyle, stress and improper liver functioning. Therefore, relying on low cholesterol diet to lower blood cholesterol probably won't work for most people. At Health Total, the root cause of excess cholesterol production is treated by eliminating the toxins from liver and improving its function. This is done by combination of food plan rich in antioxidants, complex carbohydrates and fibre and herbal plan which includes herbs having properties of potent liver cleansing and reducing blood cholesterol.
B.P. Management
Hypertension is an ailemt of modernization. Although the exact cause of the disease eludes us, smoking, obesity, stress, alcoholism, high blood cholesterol and hereditory are linked to hypertension. Weight loss is one of the best ways to bring bloood pressure back to normal levels. Health Total gets to the heart of the ailemnt and treats by combination of customized food plan, herbal therapy, nutritional supplements and moderate exercise. Blood pressure and weight improve and you have higher energy and immunity levels.
Immunity Booster
Our immunity system quietly and efficiently defends itself against attack from micro-organisms and viruses. In fact, it's role entailes prolonging aging, cancer prevention, prevention of artery blockage besides prevention of diseases. However, with constant exposure to environmental toxins and junk foods, the efficiency of immune system reduces with time. With proper nourishment and care, the body's immunity can be revived and strengthened to fight back diseases and aging. Health Total provides customised solutions in the form of food plan and herbal therapy based on the person's hereditory, prakruti, lifestyle, body type and age to combat the ill-effects of free radicals and revive the immune system.
Diabetes Type II Mangement
Type II Diabetes, which most people suffer, is a lifestyle disease. It does not happen overnight but over the years due to wrong choices of food. The degenerative process begins in those who are vulnerable to diabetes.
Most type II diabetics are overweight. They don't have a shortage of insulin, but their cells are resistant to its effects when they lose weight, the cells become more responsive. When this happens their blood sugar drops and the need for additional insulin reduces as the insulin that the body is producing may prove to be inadequate. Therefore an overweight diabetic should try and achieve ideal body weight in order to get control of his blood sugar and wean off anti-diabetic drugs according to requirement. Health Total offers programs for diabetics by combining foods rich in fibre, low in glycemic index and herbs, which increase the efficacy of pancreas, and intern reduces blood sugar.
Joints Pain Relief
With modernization, there has been a shift of work profile from physical to more of mental activities. However, the food habits have not been modified to suit the more sedentary way of life. Thus reduced physical activity coupled with poor dietary habits has been responsible for the increase in joint pains experienced by men as well as women. Joint pain includes back ache, knee pain and other joint related discomforts. The pain often reduces the person's mobility. Excess body weight is often linked to knee pain. Health Total provides a customised plan that helps reduce weight and thereby help lower joint pain.
Skin Improvment
It feels good to be beautiful- to find oneself being admired, to have that flawless skin, that positive aura. Nature does its bit. Toxins play havoc on our system, ultimately deteriorating skin texture and quality. The skin is one of the excretory organs of the body through which large quantities of toxic matter are easily eliminated. Health Total's Skin Improvement with weight loss program eliminates toxins from the body and brings a healthy glow.

"Cheers Nice Quotes"

7 KEYS TO EFFECTIVE LEADRSHIP

WHAT GIVES A MAN OR WOMAN THE RIGHT TO LEAD?It certainly isn't gained by election or appointment. Having position, title, rank, or degrees doesn't qualify anyone to lead other people. And the ability doesn't come automatically from age or experience, either. No, it would be accurate to say that no one can be given the right to lead. The right to lead can only be earned. And that takes time.
The Kind of Leader Others Want to Follow
The key to becoming an effective leader is not to focus on making other people follow, but on making yourself the kind of person they want to follow. You must become someone others can trust to take them where they want to go. As you prepare yourself to become a better leader, use the following guidelines to help you grow:
Let go of your ego.The truly great leaders are not in leadership for personal gain. They lead in order to serve other people. Perhaps that is why Lawrence D. Bell remarked, "Show me a man who cannot bother to do little things, and I'll show you a man who cannot be trusted to do big things."
Become a good follower first.Rare is the effective leader who didn't learn to become a good follower first. That is why a leadership institution such as the United States Military Academy teaches its officers to become effective followers first - and why West Point has produced more leaders than the Harvard Business School.
Build positive relationships.Leadership is influence, nothing more, nothing less. That means it is by nature relational. Today's generation of leaders seem particularly aware of this because title and position mean so little to them. They know intuitively that people go along with people they get along with.
Work with excellence.No one respects and follows mediocrity. Leaders who earn the right to lead give their all to what they do. They bring into play not only their skills and talents, but also great passion and hard work. They perform on the highest level of which they are capable.
Rely on discipline, not emotion.Leadership is often easy during the good times. It's when everything seems to be against you - when you're out of energy, and you don't want to lead - that you earn your place as a leader. During every season of life, leaders face crucial moments when they must choose between gearing up or giving up. To make it through those times, rely on the rock of discipline, not the shifting sand of emotion.
Make adding value your goal.When you look at the leaders whose names are revered long after they have finished leading, you find that they were men and women who helped people to live better lives and reach their potential. That is the highest calling of leadership - and its highest value.
Give your power away.
One of the ironies of leadership is that you become a better leader by sharing whatever power you have, not by saving it all for yourself. You're meant to be a river, not a reservoir. If you use your power to empower others, your leadership will extend far beyond your grasp.Remember that it takes time to become worthy of followers. Leadership isn't learned or earned in a moment.

A saint asked his disciples, 'Why do we shout in anger? Why do people shout at each other when they are upset?'
Disciples thought for a while, one of them said, 'Because we lose our calm, we shout for that.'
'But, why to shout when the other person is just next to you?' asked the saint. 'Isn't it possible to speak to him or her with a soft voice? Why do you shout at a person when you're angry?'
Disciples gave some other answers but none satisfied the saint.
Finally he explained, 'When two people are angry at each other, their hearts distance a lot. To cover that distance they must shout to be able to hear each other. The angrier they are, the stronger they will have to shout to hear each other through that great distance.'

Then the saint asked, 'What happens when two people fall in love? They don't shout at each other but talk softly, why? Because their hearts are very close. The distance between them is very small...'

MORAL: When you argue do not let your hearts get distant, do not say words that distance each other more, else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the path to return.
