<p>Have you ever started out to do one thing but ended up doing something different?</p>
<p>Night and day different?</p>
<p>Remember how Post-It Notes were invented?</p>
<p>Some guy was trying to come up with a &ldquo;permanent&rdquo; glue.</p>
<p>Obviously he failed&hellip; and he considered it a failure&hellip; but 3M had another idea.</p>
<p>The guy was all of a sudden Joe Brilliant.</p>
<p>Well, I&rsquo;m feeling a bit like Joe today. But this is much more interesting to you than Post-It Notes&hellip;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s about <strong>sex</strong>&hellip; sorta. Not dirty, I&rsquo;m talking about couple&rsquo;s stuff here.</p>
<p>My new book just came out today about it.</p>
<p>But it didn&rsquo;t start off that way at all. In fact &hellip; get this&hellip; I was co-writing a book with medical researcher Frank Mangano on lowering blood pressure without meds&hellip; really.</p>
<p>So how did this big U-turn occur?</p>
<p>Okay, okay&hellip;. funny, true story:</p>
<p>I read this article from a medical journal about how &ldquo;lowering blood pressure would help sexual-performance-problems.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Ding. The lightbulb went off in my head.</p>
<p>You see, lowering blood pressure is probably the most healthy thing you can do for yourself.</p>
<p>But face it &mdash; it&rsquo;s really, really BORING.</p>
<p>I mean, who really cares about their blood pressure unless their doctor says, &ldquo;Look, lower your blood pressure or you&rsquo;ll die in six months.&rdquo;</p>
<p>Then you care.</p>
<p>Are you with me?</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m right and we all know it.</p>
<p>Heck, I was the same way.</p>
<p>I ignored my blood pressure for years until it hit stroke-level back in my 30s.</p>
<p>Then I could no longer ignore it.</p>
<p>I found every natural alternative possible&hellip; which led me to Frank&rsquo;s books&hellip; and they are the BEST.</p>
<p>So Frank comes to me and asks me to contribute to his very popular on-the-shelf book &ldquo;The Blood Pressure Miracle&rdquo; &ndash;</p>
<p>&hellip; and I said,</p>
<p>&ldquo;Hey, guess what I just read?&rdquo;</p>
<p>Since he&rsquo;s the researcher, I said, &ldquo;Go see if there&rsquo;s any truth to this.&rdquo;</p>
<p>The results BLEW MY MIND.</p>
<p>Not only is there truth to it &mdash; that, yes&hellip; lowering blood pressure not only extends your life but also extends your sexlife as well &mdash; but WOW&hellip; it&rsquo;s a major player in everything from male-ED to females feeling &ldquo;out of the mood.&rdquo;</p>
<p>It&rsquo;s crazy, but it&rsquo;s true.</p>
<p>It makes sense once you read this:</p>
<p><a href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://www.lowpressuresex.com/aff/atozfitnes" title="(62 hits)">Low Pressure Sex Book</a> <img alt="" src="http://www.fit365online.com/wp-content/themes/fit365/images/url.gif" />  <strong>Click here for &ldquo;Low Pressure Sex&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p>Hang with me: It gets better&hellip;</p>
<p>So Frank digs up article after article on the subject of high blood pressure and LOW sexual-energy and performance&hellip; and we have a much more compelling reason to want to lower our blood pressure, now don&rsquo;t we?</p>
<p>But we wanted more.</p>
<p>I said, &ldquo;Look Frank, I get a lot of emails about sex-after-30&hellip; people who want to feel more kick, more alive in that area of their lives&hellip; and above all, closer to their mates.&rdquo;</p>
<p>So&hellip; we decided to add another book on TOP of our book&hellip;</p>
<p>&hellip; a book on improving sexual-pleasure for couples only. &ldquo;RevolutionarySex&rdquo; is the name of it. My friend Alex Allman wrote it&hellip;and just like that we had two books instead of one.</p>
<p>But that&rsquo;s not all&hellip; ( told you&hellip; this story is interesting&hellip; ; )</p>
<p>THEN my friend Jeff Anderson comes out with his &ldquo;homemade V&rdquo; &mdash; and guys, we know what &ldquo;V&rdquo; stands for.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>But Jeff&rsquo;s version is all-natural, cheap (we&rsquo;re talking pennies instead of dollars per &ldquo;pill&rdquo; to make) and above all&hellip; SAFE.</p>
<p>So all of a sudden&hellip; THREE books (plus an audio)&hellip; so&hellip;</p>
<p>It became a System, not a book.</p>
<p>And the topic went from &ldquo;lowering blood pressure&rdquo; to &hellip;</p>
<p>&hellip; How you can completely solve your sexual-performance-problems and increase your pleasure all by lowering blood pressure naturally without meds.&rdquo;</p>
<p>What a concept&hellip;</p>
<p>&hellip;and it WORKS.</p>
<p><a href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://www.lowpressuresex.com/aff/atozfitnes" title="(62 hits)">Low Pressure Sex Book</a> <img alt="" src="http://www.fit365online.com/wp-content/themes/fit365/images/url.gif" />  <strong>Click here for &ldquo;Low Pressure Sex&rdquo;</strong></p>
<p>Here are the advantages&hellip;</p>
<p>1. If you take blood pressure meds&hellip; and a lot of you do&hellip; your &ldquo;kick in the stick&rdquo; suffers. A lot. Some men suffer all the way, which lead them to taking the V stuff&hellip;</p>
<p>&hellip; and that stuff &lsquo;raises&rsquo; blood pressure.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>2. Cheaper&hellip; by far&hellip; than meds.</p>
<p>3. Something you can read and do as a couple or as a single person.</p>
<p>4. You get healthy and you get your vigor back at the same time. Ladies too.</p>
<p>5. It&rsquo;s guaranteed-to-work&hellip; 60 days on us.</p>
<p>I&rsquo;m very proud of this System. We put a lot of time, research and effort into it.</p>
<p>If you want a life freee from high BP and sexual-performance-issues and better health, then go here:</p>

<h3>Fit Bits: Forget Perfection</h3>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><img width="510" height="1" alt="" src="http://www.7minutemuscle.com/images/line.gif" /></p>
<p>You will never be perfect. At anything.</p>
<p>Period.</p>
<p>Forget it. In fact, the faster you forget it the faster you&rsquo;ll make progress in the gym and with your weightloss-goals.</p>
<p>Perfection with a dietplan is silly. No one will eat perfectly for life. No one will make every workout.</p>
<p>But thousands upon thousands of people try to be &ldquo;perfect&rdquo; every single day. That&rsquo;s why they fail on their dietplans and exercise schedules.</p>
<p>They are too demanding.</p>
<p>In the <a href="http://atozfitness.com/wordpress/go.php?http://www.atozfitness.com/recommends/fit365.html" title="(95 hits)">first day&rsquo;s lesson in my Personal Fat Loss Certification Course</a> I teach you (free) how to avoid perfection in both dietary and exercise protocols so you can progress enjoyably for life.</p>
<p>Trust me: I&rsquo;m far from perfect. Tonight I had Mexican food. Bad Mexican food, but still&hellip; ; )</p>
<p>And I&rsquo;m still in good shape. I know how &ldquo;not&rdquo; to be perfect &mdash; and how to eat &lsquo;tomorrow&rsquo; to ensure that what I had &lsquo;tonight&rsquo; will not affect my body or my health at all.</p>
<p>I look forward to teaching you the same secrets.</p>

<td>The Truth About Cholesterol</p>
<p>I am going to let you in on something shocking. Cholesterol is not the major culprit in heart disease. I know this may be hard to believe after all we have heard about the dangers of high cholesterol from our doctors, and the media. But the truth is, it is not the cholesterol levels themselves or the cholesterol containing foods that are the culprits in heart disease, it is those foods and any other thing that causes inflammation in your body that is the major cause of heart disease (as well as diabetes and high blood pressure).</p>
<p><strong>So what is cholesterol and why do we need it?</strong></p>
<p>Cholesterol is a soft, waxy substance found among the lipids (fats) in the bloodstream and in all your body&#8217;s cells. It&#8217;s an important part of a healthy body because it&#8217;s used to form cell membranes. Cholesterol also aids in the manufacture of bile (which helps digest fats), and is also important for the metabolism of fat soluble vitamins, including vitamins A, D, E and K. It is the major precursor for the synthesis of vitamin D and of the various steroid hormones (which include cortisol and aldosterone in the adrenal glands, and the sex hormones progesterone, the various estrogens, testosterone, and derivatives ).</p>
<p><strong>So how could something so good be so bad?</strong></p>
<p>Cholesterol has been wrongly accused because upon inspection of the arteries of someone at risk for a heart attack, levels of cholesterol and plaque build up are very high. Cholesterol is actually being transported to tissues as part of an inflammatory response that is there to repair damage. It will only lodge itself onto the artery and cause plaque if the artery has become damaged. Inflammation in the artery is what causes this damage. In fact, it is now known that the coronary disease that causes heart attacks is now considered to be caused mostly from chronic inflammation.</p>
<p>To blame cholesterol for heart attacks would be the equivalent of blaming increased police security in a high crime area. It was not the police that caused the crime, they were just placed there in response to the crimes.</p>
<p><strong>So a more important question to ask ourselves, is how do we decrease the amount of inflammation in our bodies so that cholesterol will not bind to our arteries?</strong></p>
<p>We must decrease all of those things that we do that cause inflammation and increase things that decrease inflammation. First and foremost we must stay away from foods that cause inflammation in our bodies. Any food that causes a fast rise in blood insulin levels will quickly cause inflammation in the body. These foods are sugar, white breads, most dairy products and almost all packaged and processed foods. What does this leave you with? Fresh, wholesome foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean animal proteins, nuts, and lots and lots of water. Also, taking in lots of omega-3 rich foods will dramatically decrease inflammation in the body (salmon, organic eggs, walnuts and sardines).</p>
<p><strong>What about your cholesterol medication?</strong></p>
<p>Some may be thinking, it is just easier to take a pill and not have to change what I am eating. But you may want to think twice considering the side effects of statins (cholesterol lowering drugs). The most common side effects reported are fatigued, headaches, nausea and the most common of them all, severe muscular pains and muscular degeneration. If you remember that cholesterol is essential for the formation of cell membranes, taking a drug that is drastically lowering cholesterol may be causing membrane damage in neural and muscle tissue. Most people on statins complain of neck, back or leg pain.</p>
<p>Millions of Americans are now on cholesterol lowering drugs, but the number of people suffering from heart attacks and heart disease is only increasing. Let&rsquo;s take a personal responsibility for our health and truly get to the root of the problem. Managing your diet and staying away from those foods that are causing an inflammatory response in your body is your first step to decreasing your chance of heart disease and heart attacks.</p>
