Well, it is happening:
Swine flu is beginning to really take hold.
Not just in the United States, but all over the world.
But that's not the scary part...
... the scary part is the fact that being obese OR overweight has now been directly linked to DYING from the swine flu.
My friend Jon Benson put together a 5-minute video that documents these findings.
This is freee for you to view -- and you owe it to yourself to check it out.

Folks, we have to get a grip on this.
And believe it or not, it starts in your kitchen.
Watch the video to find out what to do.
Thanks.

"How To Avoid Those 5 Awful Words..."
The Five Dreaded WordsAvoid "I'm Not in the Mood" with Some Libido-Lifting Tips Tell me if you can relate to the following experience:
A long week of work has finally reached its end. Sure, the week was difficult, but the main reason for its lengthiness was due to anticipation -- anticipation of what the weekend held in store.
All weekends are great. But this weekend was billed to be WAY above average. Why? Because you were spending it with your significant other, away from it all, in one of the finest of hotels your city has to offer. And if a little bit of luck was on your side, it would turn out to be one of the more memorable "experiences" of a lifetime -- ahem, if you know what I mean (and I think you do).
Turns out, things didn't go as planned. The hotel was great, and the decor was to die for, but The Five Dreaded Words were spoken, the ones that always put the kibosh on a romantic night of lovemaking: "I'm not in the mood."
Each one of us have either felt or heard these words spoken before, and whether you're the giver or the receiver, it's never pleasant. Sex is a HUGE part of a relationship, and when opportunities for lovemaking go by the wayside, it frequently diminishes forthcoming opportunities -- whether it's due to fear of the same thing happening again, or the lowering of expectations.
The key, of course, is to have that "motivation" within you at all times so those Five Dreaded Words are never spoken. Here's a small helping of ways in which to keep your libido lifted so you can avoid the 5DW :
Diet
Skeptics argue that keeping one's libido lifted through diet is a self-fulfilling prophecy; in other words, if you think almonds or chocolate will lift your libido, odds are good they will.
But scientific evidence -- not psychosomatic hogwash -- suggests that certain foods do, indeed, lift one's libido. For example, a study from Southwestern University found that coffee beans lift the libido of females. For men, the love-lifting libation is tea, specifically Damiana tea. Alternative health expert Dr. Sarah Brewer says the ingredient responsible for increasing male libido in this tea is called gonzalitosin. This ingredient sends a tingling sensation to the penis.
As a man, all I can say is, "Say no more!"
Supplements
Supplementing with vitamins and minerals are, hopefully, a normal part of your daily regimen, but specific supplements provide a great boost to your sex drive. Take St. John's Wort as an example.
St. John's Wort has a multitude of benefits -- from improving one's mood to improving one's mind -- and those benefits can be found in the bedroom. Because of its mood-improving properties, studies have shown that 60 percent of people formerly uninterested in sex regained their interest after taking St. John's Wort.
Care for two more? Try ginseng and gingko biloba on for size (and no, I don't mean that kind of size). Ginseng is one of the earliest herbs to be widely marketed in the United States, and it's taken by millions of people regularly for the natural boost of energy it provides. So for people whose energy levels leave them pooped time comes for whoopee, ginseng is just the thing.
As for gingko biloba, this oddly-named herb stimulates blood flow throughout the body and brain (which explains why it's taken by those who have a hard time remembering things). As blood flow improves its flow throughout the body, it serves as the perfect elixir for those who have a hard time getting a, shall we say, "hard on."
Research published in the Journal of Sex Education and Therapy found that men who took gingko biloba regularly were able to maintain erections after six months (granted, gingko biloba is not an overnight healer, but the improvement took place, and it took place without the negative side effects that always accompany male impotency drugs).
A low libido may feel like something that's out of your hands; something that will come back on its own in its own due course. That may be the case, but more often than not, it can be through our every-day actions and lifestyle.
For more information on the "Why?" and "How?" of libido, you may want to check out a great new website I've discovered. ( CLICK HERE )you'll discover some of the hidden reasons why your libido has been slumping for so long, but more importantly, how to get it on the upswing quickly, painlessly, and naturally.
I hope you'll take this opportunity and visit ( CLICK HERE )today. By the time your next weekend getaway comes around, you'll thank me (and your partner will thank you).
I recommend you visit their website immediately, where you'll get a crash course on how this issue has affected me personally; more information on the links between what's 'down there' and hypertension; and most important of all, how you can improve the health of your body and your relationship...all-naturally.

The Secret To A Better Lovelife
The Secret To A Better Lovelife
----------------------------------------------------------------------
[ Editor's Note: Fitness author Jon Benson shared this letter with me and gave me permission to share it with you. ]Today we need to chat about your hormones.Yeah, I chat a lot about hormones. That's because I have been to Hormone Hell and back. Twice.I've lived to tell the tale.It's scary... and it's one of those hidden illnesses that you might not even know you have.I had it at 27. I did not affect my lovelife, but that was probably due to my youth. If I did not treat it then, I would have no lovelife or drive at ALL right now.I treated it with drugs. That is all we had back then.Today I use a combination of therapies, many of which are natural....1. I train with weights to increase testosterone-levels naturally.2. I train and do cardio before eating in the morning do increase gH levels naturally without drugs.3. I cycle my calories to increase my thyroid levels naturally.As you can see there are many ways to increase your hormone levels naturally.But it's not all exercise and nutrition. Now we have several "botanical" supplements: Herbs and other natural helpers to help the fight.I wish I would have known about Dr. Lucille when I was 27.She's the expert in that field. Herbs, nutrition for hormone help, and how to protect your body IF you have to take drugs to help the problem like I do.I listen to her. So should you.Here's her site:CLICK NOW<--- natural energy helpThe best thing about having your hormones optimized is energy.Yes, you will burn more bodyfat.Yes, you will increase your lovelife and your desire to have intimacy.Yes, you will increase your resistance to disease and common illnesses.But I think MORE ENERGY is the best.I have the energy to do anything I want at just about any time I want.Here's an example:Today I had to go to the funeral of a dear friend. She passed away after struggling with a lifetime of various illnesses, many of which were made worse by lifestyle choices. Some she had no control over.We all loved her dearly.We drove until 1:00AM this morning. I got up early for the funeral but not early enough to eat breakfast.I had a large lunch afterwards and then we headed back -- another 3 hour boring drive in traffic.Even with all of this emotional stress, my body only needed a 2-hour nap to pop right back into high gear. I could literally go and workout now at almost 11:00pm if I had to.I'm glad I don't because I have a night of packing ahead of me for a business trip!Still, the point is simple:Hormone Health = Greater EnergyMost people do not exercise because... get this....They do not FEEL like it.I don't mean "feel like it" as in they would rather do something else, although that is the case sometimes.I mean "feel like it" in the sense that they have NO energy to do it.They are tired, run-down after a 9 to 5 day, and feel zonked.You too?If so, you need this info...CLICK NOW<--- natural energy helpRemember: More energy, more lovelife. More workouts that burn fat. More done in the day.More living... in the best way possible.----------------------------------------------------------------------Training With Weights vs "Weight Training"----------------------------------------------------------------------Just a word of warning:I will be using the term "bodybuilder" or "bodybuilding" to refer to anyone who wants to build lean muscle and burn bodyfat in this article.That means you.Yep... you are a "bodybuilder." That does not mean you want to look like a monster on stage and pose in front of thousands of people wearing nothing but your undies.That means you want more lean muscle and less bodyfat -- that's it.With that in mind, here's something you have to know:Bodybuilders do not "lift weights" -- we "train" with weights.We use weights as a tool like a sculptor uses a hammer and chisel.The object of the game is not to lift some heavy weight from Point A to Point B and back. That's weight lifting. "Bodybuilding" is about making the muscle you want to change do all the work.Here's two ways to do it:1. Lower the weight and focus: Most people are just concerned with the lift itself. "Get this weight off of me!" seems to be the unconscious mantra. This will not get the job done. In fact you may end up looking bulky rather than sleek... or just not change at all. Instead, lower the weight slightly, slow the pace down (especially on the descent of the movement) and picture the muscle in your mind doing ALL of the work. Literally put your mind in the muscle. You will be amazed at how different the same exercise feels with this degree of concentration,.2. Contract, hold, release: At the top of any movement, contract the muscle hard. Hold that contraction for a second or two, then release it and lower the weight slowly. This will not only cause faster muscle growth (that is a good thing) but also demand that you use less weight to get the job done. This means your joints -- shoulders, knees, elbows -- will last a lifetime. At 45 my joints are in perfect health. Protect yours at all costs.Just remember: You are not just lifting weights when you train for muscle shape and "tone" -- you are a sculptor. Treat your tools and your body with that degree of care.I cover many more tips on how to build lean muscle and burn bodyfat faster in my book "7 Minute Muscle".Read more here:CLICK NOW<--- more muscle in far less time
