Harmony of Body, Mind and Spirit

Harmony Is Foundation was founded to inspire, to educate and to promote the full harmony of all subsystem of Body and Mind and Spirit and to integrate them into the full awareness of your own Beingness which is more than Body and Mind. It is the Harmony that Is and the consciousness of your infinite oneness. This experience is fostered through understanding the different perspectives of Body, Mind and Spirit (Consciousness).

It is recommended that while you practice the best wisdom and knowledge of both ancient and modern thinkers, philosophers and scientist your main focus with more and more clarity will be on your sense of Beingness, until the harmony that appears in the physical and psychic reality gives way to the, Harmony that Is which is not dependent on these apparent realities.

I hope you will enjoy your journey through the different perspectives of Body, Mind and Spirit.

Each section will have what I consider to be the best advice for each of these perspectives of reality.

If you wish to contribute to any one of the sections on Body, Mind or Spirit and can improve on the information you will be invited to have your presentation replaced the present knowledge and wisdom.

If you wish to contribute write to me at harmonyisfoundation@bigpond.com

May I Make a Suggestion

If you are new to this blog. I would like you to know this blog is the prerunner to my website www.harmonyisfoundation.com.au, which is presently under construction

You can contact me at harmonyisfoundation@bigpond.com if you are interested in any of the ideas and or products mentioned on this blog.

The blog is to be presented in three main section; Body, Mind and Spirit. It is designed to promote the basic constructs of logic and common sense that you will need to observe in whatever sense of reality you are focus on, whenever you are not fully focused on your absolute sense of Self.

Finally, the blog will consider what is the logic of the absolute sense of Self and how this knowledge is applicable to your present sense of reality?

I am happy for interested people to contribute to the development of this site, however, I will continue to develop Harmony Is Foundation out of my own financial resources. However, I envisage that whatever profits come from the sale of products I promote and that I believe will add to your harmony of Body and Mind will be plowed back into the promotion of Harmony Is Foundation.

But please remember, when it comes to the absolute harmony of Beingness that this is completely and freely available at no cost to anyone who takes the time to investigate the nature of their own Beingness, you already have it, but more of that later.

These blogs will be presented in a logical order on my website but are posted on this blog as a means of storing them until they are placed in an ordered presentation, on the website and/or until I reorganise this blog.

Harmony of Body is - Proper Food, Exercise and Water.

How Do They Relate To Body Harmony?

Virtually all chronic degenerative diseases that plague today's world are caused or exacerbated by the deterioration of the modern diet, lack of exercise and dehydration (insufficient water).

Small amounts of daily exercise can be sufficient to maintain healthy bodies. However, water is often overlooked or replaced with fluids that actually dehydrate. At least two litres should be the general goal.

In today's every busy world and deteriorating food sources an alternative supplementing source of food can be essential if one is to maintain a healthy life style.

USANA Foods were developed to provide great-tasting, high-quality macronutrients your body needs to maintain health and feel great. These convenient foods can be used along with the ESSENTIALS and OPTIMIZERS to complete your healthy diet. Many USANA Foods contain beneficial ingredients like dietary fibre, soy protein, and potassium.

To achieve and maintain a healthy body, your body's cells need specific nutrients (high-quality protein, varied fibre sources, carbohydrates, beneficial fats, vitamins, and minerals). When your body's cells lack these vital nutrients, they do not function properly.

At USANA, we understand that good nutrition includes both micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and other compounds we consume in small amounts) and macronutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, and fats that make up the bulk of our food). The primary goal of good nutrition is to promote lifelong good health. This state of well-being implies the optimal performance of all body systems.

THE RIGHT MACRONUTRIENTS. It is vitally important that your diet include the right types of each class of macronutrient:

The right carbohydrates are either complex carbohydrates or fibre. Complex carbohydrates and fibre generally supply additional healthy trace elements and phytonutrients, as well as energy.

A healthy diet includes a variety of protein sources including complete proteins, which contain all of the essential amino acids.

Beneficial fats are high in essential fatty acids and low in saturated fatty acids. No more than 10 percent of your total daily calories should be derived from saturated fat.
THE IMPORTANCE OF A LOW-FAT, HIGH-FIBRE DIET, Increasing your fibre intake can help maintain a healthy digestive system. Unfortunately, the normal diet in today's society includes only one-half to two-thirds of the fiber necessary for optimal health.

1. The positive impact of a high-fibre diet is increased when there is a concurrent reduction in the amount of saturated fat consumed.

2. USANA USANA FoodsNew USANA Foods are a healthy source of complex carbohydrates, complete proteins, and beneficial fats. SOYAMAX™, based on high-quality soy protein, provides complete and balanced amino acids. And some USANA Foods, such as FIBERGY™ and Iced Lemon FIBERGY BARS™, are low-fat, high-fibre foods. These delicious snack bars and drink mixes are formulated to provide sustained energy throughout the day.

USANA Foods have been developed by USANA's team of scientists to help take the guesswork out of proper nutrition. These precision formulations not only provide the correct amounts of healthy carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, they also taste great and are convenient. More importantly, they will help you build a lasting foundation for true health for tomorrow.

Harmony of Body

Harmony is good cellular health where the body's immune system works in harmony, this is the gift of nature but in our ever-growing world economy this is not guaranteed. Harmony Is Foundation, as a part of its services would like you to know how to restore your cellular harmony if you are finding that your health has been compromised by the assault of modern farming and business practices on our environment.

After detailed research Harmony Is Foundation would recommend the following information for your consideration:-

USANA Health Sciences formulates exceptional, science-based nutritional and personal-care products. However, inferior manufacturing can destroy even the greatest product formulations. For this reason, USANA manufactures its own nutritional supplements, and voluntarily meets pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Pharmaceutical GMP standards are far more stringent than the food GMP requirements set by the U.S. government for supplements.

To adhere to the exacting standards of pharmaceutical GMP, and to ensure the quality of every product manufactured, USANA inspects all raw ingredients before they are mixed, tests the product during manufacturing, and performs a final analysis before any product is sent to the customer. USANA's Quality Assurance team keeps track of every detail, from careful testing and evaluation of raw materials, to meticulous product shipping and storage. Visitors to USANA's corporate headquarters can take a self-guided tour to see USANA's manufacturing process firsthand.

Harmony of Body is - The Essentials

What are Essentials?

To maintain health, we need a diversity of vitamins, minerals, bioflavonoids, and other nutrients. Although we receive many of these nutrients from our diets, it's impractical and virtually impossible to obtain an optimal dose through diet alone.
USANA understands the importance of providing the right ingredients - in the correct amounts, in the right balance, and in the correct forms - for all age groups. For this reason, USANA has created Essentials to provide the most well-rounded supplementation possible - a must for everyone interested in true health.

The Right Ingredients. The "essential" vitamins and minerals, as defined by government and nutrition experts, include the elements the body needs for proper cell function. Our bodies cannot manufacture these essential ingredients; so we must obtain them from our diets.
USANA has expanded the meaning of "essential" to include several nutrients that recent research has shown help to maintain optimal health. The USANA Essentials also contain a combination of antioxidant compounds to counteract free-radical damage in the cells.
BALANCED FORMULAS IN THE CORRECT AMOUNTS USANA uses all of the available scientific literature to ensure that the micronutrients present in our ESSENTIALS formulas are balanced and in amounts to allow components to work together effectively. While much is still not known about all of the interactions that occur with nutrients in our bodies, USANA continues to keep abreast of the latest research to ensure up-to-date formulations.

The Optimal Form. To be useful, all nutrients must be of high quality and be bioavailable; in other words, in a form the body can absorb and use. USANA makes every effort to obtain the highest quality ingredients; and it tests those ingredients for quality and potency. In addition, USANA imposes rigorous quality control standards at every step of the manufacturing process.

Why the USANA Essentials? USANA Essentials are advanced daily nutritional supplements that supply optimal nutrition for every age group. To help meet the "essential" nutrient needs of children and teens during the years of development, when good nutrition is most important, USANA offers:

Usanimals, a new, great-tasting formulation of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, in an easy-to-take chewable tablet. For children 13 months to 12 years old.

BodyRox, a nutritional supplement containing essential vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and cofactors for adolescents 12 to 18 years old, who need optimal nutrition to support the demands of growth and active teenage lifestyles.

USANA Essentials for adults is a combination of two products:

Mega Antioxidant, a balanced, high-potency blend of vitamins, antioxidants, and other important nutrients to support general health and well-being and to counteract free-radical damage.

MultiMineral, a complete broad-spectrum of essential minerals, in balanced, highly bioavailable forms.

Harmomy of the Body is - Optimizers

What are Optimizers?

USANA understands that each of us has a unique health profile and thus unique nutritional needs. For this reason, we have created the USANA Optimizers, an extensive selection of state-of-the-art nutritional products that enable you to customise our nutritional program to meet your individual needs.

Part of a lifelong program of good nutrition is recognising that we all have different nutritional needs, and that our individual needs change as we move from one stage of life to the next. For each one of us, a unique combination of age, sex, lifestyle, and other considerations demands a nutritional program that is both flexible and customise. USANA's line of Nutritionals comprises both the Essentials and the Optimizers to successfully meet this challenge. The Essentials products provide the foundation of USANA's nutritional system. The Optimizers allow you to customise that nutritional system for your individual needs. By using the following two-step process, you can create a complete nutritional program to fit those needs.

First, choose the Essentials product designed for the appropriate age group - Usanimals for children, Body Rox for teens, and regular Essentials for adults.

Next, choose the Optimizers that suit your individual needs.

The Brain

In animals the brain, or encephalon (Greek for "in the head"), is the control center of the central nervous system, responsible for thought. In most animals, the brain is located in the head, protected by the skull and close to the primary sensory apparatus of vision, hearing, equilibrioceptive, taste and olfaction. While all vertebrates have a brain, most invertebrates have either a centralized brain or collections of individual ganglia. Primitive animals such as sponges do not have a brain at all. Brains can be extremely complex. For example, the human brain contains more than 100 billion neurons, each linked to as many as 10,000 others.

One thing we know for sure the brain is a part of the body structure and for good cellular health within the brain, the recommended vitamin is fish oil-Omega 3s.

For our purposes we can think of the brain as the link between Body and Mind. This is where the subject becomes very interesting. Simply put, is the Brain the Mind? Or is the Mind something different and/or in addition to the Brain?
