Another failed diet.  Unfortunately, those words ring hollow and true for many Americans who are left wondering why diets consistently fail them.

There are many answers to this question, but a primary reason is the polluted world in which we live.  Major studies conducted by Mount Sinai Medical School and National Geographic have shown that our bodies are storing pollution, acid and impurities in fat cells.  The more impurities we ingest, the more fat cells our bodies create.  This is one of the main reasons why over 75 percent of America is overweight, and why 3 million Americans weigh over 500 pounds.

The answer would seem to be a diet with the proper amount of nutrition – eat healthy and cleanse the body.  However, in order for the body to naturally cleanse itself of impurities, it needs proper nutrients that contain trace minerals (by ingesting trace minerals and rare earth elements in a high nutrition diet, enzymes can more rapidly break down food and cleanse the body).  The problem with this solution is that there are no more trace minerals in our food.

In a report to the US Senate in 1936, it was reported that American soil had become “almost void of trace minerals” due to the use of pesticides and herbicides, and the fact that farmers no longer rotated their fields.  Today, in 2009, the problem has only been exacerbated, and America is considered to be the most overfed and undernourished society on the planet.  In fact, our food supply is so nutritionally bankrupt that it would take about 12 apples in 2009 to equal the nutrition in just one apple from 1976.  The nutrition in a bowl of spinach from 1957 requires 51 bowls of spinach in 2009.

It’s with this dilemma in mind that 21st century thinking is taking over when it comes to nutritional health.  Scientists, doctors, health advocates and other health professionals are backing the attributes of nutritional cleansing, a viable option that is rapidly gaining momentum among people who want a new way to lose weight and achieve overall wellness in their bodies.  They are discovering the benefits of flooding their body with massive amounts of nutrients, trace minerals, fats and proteins, leaving the body satisfied without having to overindulge on food.

While trendy diets and dramatic steps such as stomach stapling continue to be the solutions people are turn to for their weight and health problems, nutritional science is an option that cannot be overlooked.  As people become more aware of the value of nutritional cleansing, it’s likely the choice they’ll make to lose weight, gain energy and improve their lifestyle.

Peter Greenlaw and Dr. Harper have spent the past several years researching nutritional science and the health benefits of nutritional cleansing.  They are both considered experts on the subject, and can be reached at 303-589-7087

– Providing individuals with the opportunity to manage and organize their busy lives; R2 Business Ventures announced today that it has launched the website http://www.groupusup.com.

The website www.GroupUsUp.com. is a social networking community site focused on allowing individuals to form groups for anything or join groups such as clubs, family, friends, neighbors, neighborhoods, HOA’s, organizations, teams, co-workers, alumni, non-profit, jobs & career, business, social, charities, nightlife, sports and more.

Managing Partner Rick Erling adds; “Our early market gap analysis uncovered a need for an easy to use community social networking site that is focused on groups, rather than individuals. We wanted a way for people to organize their lives by having a place to socialize with groups that they have a common interest with.”

With the Group Us Up! concept of “groups for anything”, there is no limit to the benefits of having an outlet to organize your members. You decide if your own profile and the groups you create are public or private and you also decide who to invite. Groups can have multiple discussion forums, photo albums, file attachments and your members can also post blogs, organize events and keep track of who’s attending those events.

Mr. Erling adds; “We have neighborhood and HOA groups that are staying connected and sharing information about their groups and organizing social events. Intramural sports teams and booster clubs are also using it to organize and provide updates on when practices are, where the games take place and plan fundraising events. Businesses are getting onboard for internal corporate communications and reaching out to new customers and partners. There is no limit to the benefits of having an outlet to organize right from your home or anywhere, anytime you have web connection.”

As Mr. Erling and his team grow Group Us Up! they will be depending on their members to provide input on functionality to make Group Us Up! as user friendly as their members desire.

Membership is FREE and signing up is quick and easy at http://www.groupusup.com/.

If you haven’t read the post from Mark Cuban about his Colonoscopy, you should. It’s both hilarious and a good form of public service announcement. Yes, I said hilarious because it made me laugh. I also didn’t really know what it was because I don’t think about health too much except when it comes time to get a physical and plus I would think my Dr. would tell me it’s time to get one of those?!? Anyway, it’s equally important for women to get a Colonoscopy. So I’m glad I read it. Though I don’t think I’ll run to the Dr. and say “hey give me what Mark Cuban had”. I guess there’s an age where Dr. will start to offer me a bunch of stuff to be tested. So, I’ll wait for my turn when time comes.

Speaking of Mark Cuban, he is for sure BIG in Dallas. Funny thing is if you’re not from Dallas, or into basketball, or know much about the internet dotcom days, then you actually might not know him. I’m not kidding and I thought everyone knew who he was. Until I was talking to a mother who just moved to Dallas from California. I think I was talking about how people are into celebrities in L.A and people are into sports and religion in Dallas. I mentioned Mark Cuban and the Mavericks…she had no idea who he was. I was like..you know “broadcast.com?” I knew who he was before the Mavericks, before coming to Dallas and before he became a billionaire. It was during the dotcom days when we did some little stuff for broadcast.com, which sold to Yahoo and probably known to be the luckiest dotcom back in the late 90’s and maybe ever.

Now there’s the whole web 2.0 and companies starting left and right trying to repeat history. I think Mark Cuban might of had enough of the web, or maybe got enough from the web. He did move on to doing something similar to the Apprentice, which didn’t last. Though don’t count on him failing on TV. He started his own HD channel called HDNet with Philip Garvin (I just realized they got a 2 letter domain…must have cost a fortune!). My husband swears by HD tv and would NOT want to watch anything that’s not HD anymore (except Tennis Grand Slams, but he does complain about whey it’s not on HD!). When he sees me watching anything on “regular” tv, well…I’ll just have an earful of the quality of it. I have to say, it does make a big difference in terms of the viewing experience. I watch HD Discovery channel and it’s amazing. You just have to get use to seeing people’s every beads of sweat, nose hair and all the other imperfections. You get over that once you zoom back out and look at the whole picture!
