First-Ever Permanently Magnetic Liquid Created

“The team then placed the millimeter-size droplets near a magnetic coil to magnetize them. But when they took the magnetic coil away, the droplets demonstrated an unseen behavior in liquids — they remained magnetized. (Magnetic liquids called ferrofluids do exist, but these liquids are only magnetized when in the presence of a magnetic field.) (Link)

Principles of a Healthy Diet

MK Gus

In order to achieve and maintain optimal health, one’s diet should be of primary concern. People can thrive on a wide variety of diets. There are certain principles that can apply to all eating styles that will enhance the overall nutritional state of the body. Some of these principles include:

1) Eat unprocessed (or minimally processed) whole foods that are nutrient dense.

2) Regularly consume fruits and vegetables you enjoy eating. Eat some cooked and some raw.

3) Eat grains, nuts, seeds, and legumes that have been properly prepared.

4) Eat a diet with plenty of enzymes. Enzymes are easily destroyed by cooking or processing.

5) Eat some foods that are high in fat-soluble vitamins: A,D,E and K (especially vitamin K2).

6) Eat healthy fats. Avoid processed, refined or damaged fats.

7) Eat a moderate amount of protein. Ensure proteins aren’t damaged by heat or processing.

8) Eat high-quality carbohydrates. Avoid processed grains and sugars.

9) Animal products should be of the highest quality and come from animals that are wild-caught or pasture-fed with plenty of access to fresh air, sunlight and greenery on which to graze.

10) Eat some fermented foods.

11) Get fiber through high-quality plant sources.

12) Eat some salt. Salt should be unrefined and unprocessed. (Seaweeds are a good source of iodine).

13) Exercise. While not technically a dietary principle, exercise is vitally important because it amplifies all of your dietary efforts by helping move nutrients throughout your body, clearing out cellular waste products, and by improving digestion and cellular metabolism.

In a future article, each of these principles will be expanded upon for clarity.
