Regrettably, drugs have become the most prominent coping mechanism that people use to deal with life’s problems.  There are many reasons why people begin using drugs.  They are looking for a way out – an escape – a way to forget life for just a little while. Methamphetamine use has grown to alarming rates in the United States with over 25 percent of the population addicted to this drug.  Twenty-three percent of high school seniors use marijuana on a regular basis.  Forty-three percent of adults report having a problem with alcohol. The statistics also reveal that drug use, including alcohol and cigarettes, is beginning earlier in life.  Children are experimenting with drugs as young as 10 years old, and many middle schoolers have already had their first taste of alcohol by seventh grade. What are even more disturbing are the health effects that drug use and abuse causes.  Last year alone, there were over 20,000 alcohol-induced deaths not including car accidents, and deaths due to heroin overdoses have increased by two percent in just the course of one year. Drug addiction doesn’t discriminate either.  Many famous celebrities have struggled with addiction as has the common man.  You can be a regular housewife or the head of a company and find yourself struggling with drug dependence. What can you do?  The answer is – a lot.  If you find yourself with a problem, the time to take action is now.  You could check yourself into a rehabilitation facility, but you can also try some self-help steps first. This book is intended for both the person who is addicted and for those who have a loved one with addiction.  We’ll look at the signs of a problem and address the various drugs that are most likely to cause dependence.  Then, with the help of experts, we’ll give you some strategies that you can try to get you back on the road to a drug-free life. You can overcome your dependence on drugs.  It won’t be easy, but you can do it.  But you have to start now.  Don’t be addicted anymore.  Start your journey today! WHY PEOPLE USE DRUGS The reasons people use drugs are varied.  Essentially, though, drugs give us a desired effect producing a feeling of euphoria that makes us feel better – at least temporarily.  There are hundreds of ways that drugs help people cope with life and each person has their own reason why they choose a certain drug. Drugs can help calm you down, give you energy, overcome shyness, and avoid feelings of loneliness.  They may you feel bolder and want to take risks you wouldn’t normally take.  They are used to perhaps fit into social situation and get into a “party” mood and even to celebrate happy occasions. Medically, drugs are used to alleviate pain, help you to sleep, suppress anger, combat anxiety, and avoid depression.  They can be used to cope with stress, stimulate your desire for sex, and lose weight. Many people report that they began using drugs as a response to peer pressure.  Those around them would use drugs, so to fit in, they began using as well. The ways drugs affect us are countless—for everyone. So much so that often it seems that drugs can cure all our ills and help us overcome whatever bothers us. If that’s all there were to it, we might consider each drug to be some kind of “wonder drug.” This is where the thought process gets a little skewed.  People begin to crave the feeling of euphoria that they get when they use drugs and that’s when it becomes a problem.  It can be a vicious cycle.  You feel you can’t live without the feelings that drugs give you and that you just won’t be able to cope with life without those drugs.  That’s what breeds addiction...

In actuality, the sport of body building has been around for quite some time.  In the late 19th century, the man known as the “father of bodybuilding”, Eugen Sandow was credited with inventing the sport by inviting people to view his body in muscle display performances. Sandow built a stage performance around displays of strength and agility as well as showing off a “Grecian” physique which was considered the ultimate body.  He became so successful, he created several businesses around his fame and was among the first people to market body building products bearing his name.  As he became more popular, he was credited with the invention of the first exercise equipment marketed to the masses. Sandow was also credited with beginning the first body building contest called “The Great Competition” held in London.  This competition was the basis for many others to follow including the Mr. Olympia competition that remains the most popular body building contest to date. When World War II broke out, men in the country were inspired to become bigger in their physique, stronger, and more aggressive in their behavior.  Training techniques were improved, nutrition was focused on more than ever, and body building equipment evolved into effective means for working muscles in ways never thought of before. It was also around this time that many body building organizations came into being including the Amateur Athletic Union and the International Federation of Body Building.  In 1970, body building was taken to a new level when the film “Pumping Iron” was released starring Austrian newcomer Arnold Schwarzenegger. Through the years, body building has just grown in popularity becoming almost an obsession for many people.  Women have started to take an interest in honing their bodies, and the sport has evolved into a real competitive arena. If you’ve always wanted to learn about how to build your body to that “Grecian Ideal” envisioned by Eugen Sandow, there can be a lot to learn.  This book will guide you through some of the basics to get you started.  Of course, nothing will compare to actually getting to the gym and lifting those weights, but you’ll need some information first. That’s why we’re here.  We want to reveal body building secrets to YOU. WEIGHT TRAINING Body building is the process of developing muscle fibers through various techniques.  It is achieved through muscle conditioning, weight training, increased caloric intake, and rest.  Workouts are designed to focus on certain muscle categories, and foods are consumed with the intention to build the body’s metabolism and increase mass. This section will focus on weight training for body builders.  Weight training develops both strength as well as the size of skeletal muscles.  It uses the force of gravity to oppose the force generated by muscles through contraction.  Weight training uses a variety of specialized equipment designed to target specific muscle groups and movements. Some people refer to weight training as strength training.  While they are not exactly the same, they are both similar to each other.  Strength training focuses on increasing muscular strength and size.  Weight training is one type of strength training using weights as the primary force to build muscle mass. The basic principles of weight training are pretty much the same as those of strength training.  It involves a manipulation of the numbers of reps, sets, tempo, exercise types, and weight moved to cause desired increases in strength, endurance, size, or shape. The specific combination of reps, sets, exercises, and weight depends upon the desires of the body builder.  Sets with fewer reps can be performed with heavier weights but have a reduced impact on endurance...

Something that valuable is something that you should be striving to learn.  If you are someone that spends your evenings worrying, stressing about all that needs to get done and even feeling physically bad without being sick, then meditation may be an ideal solution for you. In meditation, you transform the way that your mind is working.  While you can’t say that it’s a simple process, meditation is something that you can easily learn to do and then use daily. In fact, studies show that when you do allow yourself (especially your mind) to meditate for just a few minutes each day, you can reduce the stress levels you face improving your quality of life.  Indeed, lowering stress levels also can improve your physical self. In this book, you’ll learn how meditation can change your life.  It is merely a guide to get you started, though. Most individuals that are successful at meditation are those that seek out resources locally to help them to learn the process as well as to practice it.  Meditating with others is something that can be powerful to the individual.  With more and more meditation clinics and classes popping up around the country, you are likely to find one relatively close to you.  But, first, you need to learn a bit more about how meditation works and what it can do for you. This book will prepare you to begin meditation and take you into a world that far too many people don’t realize exists with such benefits.  If you are skeptical, there is nothing to lose by investing a few minutes in learning this process.  In fact, you’ll find yourself striving to learn more once you have just one or two sessions of meditation. Learn to meditate alone or with friends.  In either case, you’ll find many different methods to select.  More so, you could be improving your health and well being.  That’s worth just a few minutes of your time!...

Chapter 1:  Why You Need To Explore Your Past It seems simple to understand why history is important.  There are countless times that history repeats itself.  We are face with the same choices that we were just a handful of years ago.  Did we learn from our mistakes or will we make the same ones over and over again?

Could you be the descendant of one of the Kings or Queens of England?  Perhaps you have an ancestor that was a war hero in the Revolutionary War.  Perhaps the past isn’t as pretty with ancestors that died in famines, illnesses or strife, only to save their children that you would eventually come from.

In fact, fitness can be enjoyable if you know how to make it be just that.  Through this e-book, we will teach you several very key elements to keeping yourself fit.  Each tip and tool given is something that you can do easily, without much help and with the ability to see benefits. You won’t lose a magical 100 pounds this first three months.  You may be able to drop that amount of weight, though, in a year’s time.  In many ways, fitness can be fun and we’ll show you how to make it just that, healthily.  Instead of a gimmick diet, another useless fad and any type of crazy health food that costs more than all of the meals from your family, this is a simple, no nonsense approach to overall fitness that simply makes sense. You’ll learn something and you’ll be able to implement these tools today to start seeing success.  Really, it can be that simple to be healthy.  Let’s make fitness fun, then. Chapter 1:  Fitness And Where You Stand Right Now Fitness is a term that is used to help define the ability to stay in the best physical shape.  You may ask, then, “What am I staying in shape for?”  To each person, this will be something different. For most, it is a matter of staying healthy as long as possible.  You see, your body is designed to work as a machine.  When each part of the machine is cared for, the entire machine works the best that it can.  When the machine is neglected either in part or in the whole, then the machine won’t run well and eventually won’t run at all. If a car, for example, is well maintained for many years, it will last many years longer.  If it isn’t taken care of, for example you don’t change the oil in it, you cut several years off the life of the car.  That’s costly to you, but when you look at this as your body, you are shaving away days, weeks, and even years off of your life when you don’t take care of your machine (your body.)...
