	<p class="wp-caption-text">A truly Healthy nutritious way of eating demands the use of Lemon juice. Instead of throwing them away we can use the squeezed lemons to make an incredibly health fermented food.</p>
</div>
<p>Lemons, while common are among the healthiest foods we can eat.</p>
<p>You can&#8217;t ever get to many of them and they are <a href="http://rayshealth.com/fermented-foods-and-weight-loss/">even better fermented</a>. My grand mother fermented lemons and orange peels because they couldn&#8217;t afford cucumbers in Egypt.  &#8221;Meafina&#8221; is Egyptian slang for something that is fermented. Egyptians like most ancient peoples know how powerful fermented foods are and they work to ensure they get some every day. While this practice was done out of poverty by the people of Helwan, Egypt it has immense health benfits as the people from the area in Egypt where my mother&#8217;s family was from are known for their<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khadr_El_Touni"> amazing strength</a>, beauty and longevity.</p>
<h3>Lemona Meafina Raw fermented Lemon Recipe</h3>
<ul>
<li>squeezed lemons &#8211; as many as you have, orange peels also work great!</li>
<li>4 tablespoons of sea salt</li>
<li> 4 cloves of garlic</li>
<li>Your favorite spices &#8211; I use a dash of Cumin, coriander, turmeric and ginger</li>
<li>a small handful of crumpled raw feta cheese</li>
<li>3 tablespoons of olive oil</li>
</ul>
<h3>Directions</h3>
<ol>
<li>Remove the hard ends of the lemons with a knife</li>
<li>Cut the lemons  into bite sized pieces with your hands or use a knife</li>
<li>Stuff the lemons into the jar</li>
<li>Fill jar with enough water to cover all the lemons</li>
<li>Use a garlic crusher to crush the cloves of garlic or mince them very finely with a knife</li>
<li>Add the garlic, salt and crumpled feta cheese to the jar.</li>
<li>Close the jar and shake it well</li>
<li>Open the jar and coat the top of it with some olive oil to act as a preservative.</li>
<li>Put a napkin on the jar and lightly put the top on</li>
<li>Store in a cool dry place for 5 days, You can even put this in the refrigerator from the beginning as it doesn&#8217;t last as long as other fermented foods.</li>

</p><div id="attachment_1672" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 600px">
	<a href="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sauerkraut.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1672" title="sauerkraut" src="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/sauerkraut.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Sauerkraut is amazing Health Food, tastes great and is easy to make yourself.</p>
</div>
<p>Traditionally lacto-fermented foods have <a href="http://rayshealth.com/fermented-foods-and-weight-loss/">amazing health benefits</a> and they can help you lose weight and have more energy.</p>
<p>The sad state of our American Diet means that all sauerkraut found in stores is not truly fermented and is useless. The sauerkraut found in stores is pasteurized and devoid of the enzymes which make it so healthy, hence why this is a &#8220;Raw&#8221; Sauerkraut Recipe. We must make it ourselves to enjoy the <a href="http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/archive/?date=20051107&amp;slug=flucure07">immense health benefits sauerkraut</a> has.</p>
<ul>
<li>Scientists at Seoul National University in South Korea fed an extract of kimchi, a spicy Korean variant of sauerkraut, to 13 chickens infected with avian flu, and a week later, 11 of the birds started to recover</li>
<li>Another recently released study at the University of New Mexico indicates that sauerkraut may reduce the risk of breast cancer by up to 74 percent</li>
<li>Of the hundreds of Polish women and Polish-born U.S. immigrants observed in the study, those who ate four or more servings of sauerkraut and cabbage per week during adolescence were 74 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than those who ate 1.5 or fewer servings per week.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Raw Sauerkraut Recipe</h3>
<ul>
<li>1 Cabbage &#8211; Red or green doesn&#8217;t matter, you can even combine them to get pink Sauerkraut</li>
<li>1 Onion &#8211; optional</li>
<li>1 Cucumber &#8211; optional</li>
<li>3 cloves garlic &#8211; optional</li>
<li>4 tablespoons of Sea Salt &#8211; The only requirement next to the actual cabbage</li>
<li>1 Big Glass Jar &#8211; Always use glass, never plastic</li>
</ul>
<h3>Directions</h3>
<ol>
<li>Cut the Cabbage in half</li>
<li>Cut out the hard base steam in a v shape, do this for both sides. You can throw it away</li>
<li>Cut the cabbage up into slices small enough to fit into your food processor</li>
<li>Put the cabbage into the food processor such that it dices it into long but thin slivers</li>
<li>Do the same for the onions cucumbers and garlic if you choose to use them</li>
<li>If you don&#8217;t have a food processor then you will have to cut it up yourself with a knife</li>
<li>Stuff the slices cabbage into a jar an inch high at a time and then add a table spoon of Sea Salt.</li>
<li>Repeat until you put all the cabbage in and use up all the salt. The salt will make the water rise up out of the cabbage, this is good and the jar should be very moist now.</li>
<li>Your jar should be full now and the water should, put a napkin on the top then put the jar lightly on top such that air can get in and out</li>
<li>Put the jar in a cool dry place away from sunlight and at room temperature for at least 5 days.</li>
<li>After five days your sauerkraut should be ready. Eat and enjoy it and let it stay in the fridge to last longer.</li>

The catch is you must make them yourself as the commercial fermented foods are all pasteurized and useless. It is fun and easy to make your own fermented foods. In one month of eating fermented foods three times a day I have lost over 15 lbs of fat, put on more muscle and have more energy than when I was eight years old.</p>
</div>
<p>Fermented Foods along with <a href="http://rayshealth.com/the-best-greens-for-detox-weight-loss-abs/">fresh greens</a> and <a href="http://rayshealth.com/raw-meat-cold-cook-sauce-recipe/">raw meat</a> are the secret to Health, Strength and being Ripped. The secret is now out!</p>

<h3>Benefits of Fermented Foods</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Weight Loss</strong>: Stop cravings for sugar and carbohydrates in processed foods &#8211; cravings for sugar and carbs are the number one cause of weight gain. Losing these cravings means losing weight fast</li>
<li><strong>Energy</strong>: Improve your digestion &#8211; the <strong>ENZYMES </strong>in lacto-fermented foods will allow your body to conserve it&#8217;s energy which means more energy to spend on life</li>
<li><strong>Muscle</strong>: Increase the ability to absorb nutrients in your foods by up to 100 times &#8211; which means more protein for even more muscle</li>
<li><strong>Health</strong>: Improve your immune system &#8211; 80% of your immune system is in your colon and fermented foods improve colon health via probiotics. you never get sick once you consume fermented foods daily
<ul>
<li>Rich in probiotics &#8211; or healthy microflora (beneficial bacteria) &#8211; they lay down the foundation for a healthy inner ecosystem and <strong>are much more potent than pro-biotic supplements</strong></li>
<li>Scientists at Seoul National University in South Korea fed an extract of kimchi, a spicy Korean variant of sauerkraut, to 13 chickens infected with avian flu, and a week later, 11 of the birds started to recover</li>
<li>Another recently released study at the University of New Mexico indicates that sauerkraut may reduce the risk of breast cancer by up to 74 percent</li>
<li>Of the hundreds of Polish women and Polish-born U.S. immigrants observed in the study, those who ate four or more servings of sauerkraut and cabbage per week during adolescence were 74 percent less likely to develop breast cancer than those who ate 1.5 or fewer servings per week.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>The Two Main Benefits of Traditionally lacto-Fermented Foods</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Enzymes</li>
<li>Probiotics  aka beneficial bacteria</li>
</ol>
<p>The Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) is basically composed of dead and over processed foods loaded with artificial sugars to cover their dead taste. Traditionally lacto-fermented foods are alive with good bacteria and enzymes which aid us in digestion. How this translates into health is simple.</p>
<p><strong>Enzymes</strong></p>
<p>Enzymes are molecules produced by our bodies that help us to digest the things we eat.</p>
<p>Think of enzymes as little widgets or tools your body uses to make things go faster and use less energy. Screwing in bolts would be alot harder without a screwdriver and take alot more time. Your body uses enzymes just like that. The food we et naturally has all the enzymes we need to digest it, but cooking and over processing of the food kills all the enzymes in the food so our body must make the enzymes itself to digest the food. Making enzymes is very taxing on your body and consumes immense amounts of energy, energy we could use for other things, such as work, exercise and life.</p>
<p>The beauty of traditionally lacto-fermented foods is two fold.</p>
<p>Traditionally lacto-fermented foods are uncooked, all antural and alive with good bacteria, thus all the enzymes in thema re retained. Your body won;t have to expend energy to digest them.</p>
<p>Traditionally lacto-fermented foods are so abundant with enzymes because of their bacterial processes that they actually add to your bodies storehouse of enzymes. This means you can use them to actually increase your energy and make up for any bad foods you eat. Traditionally lacto-fermented foods are healing!</p>
<p><strong>Probiotics</strong></p>
<p>Also known as good bacteria and flora, these living organism help aid in digestion and absorption of nutrients and minerals. Food today has less nutrients than it did just fifty years ago thanks to the erosion of our top soil by industrial farming methods so now it is even more important to get more out of food.</p>
<p>Traditionally lacto-fermented foods help us get more nutrition and thus more value from the food we buy. How probiotics do this is out of scope for this article. Prove it to yourself by having at leats one serving of traditionally lacto-fermented foods every single day, especially if you eat alot of cooked food. The benefits of this will become clear as you will start craving bad foods less as you are better nourished. This will lead to weight loss. You will also absorb more vitamins and proteins from your food which will lead to more muscle mass. As you can see getting ripped and hunky is a natural result of this.</p>
<p><strong>Even more Benefits of Traditionally Lacto-fermented Foods</strong></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;">There are many other health benefits of fermented foods.  Fermented dairy products show increased levels of folic acid which is critical to producing healthy babies as well as pyroxidine, B vitamins, riboflavin and biotin. Fermented foods have also been shown to lessen the effects of anti nutrients such as Phytic acid, which is an antinutrient that binds up minerals â€“ preventing full absorption of minerals in the gut. The bioavailability of amino acids â€“ particularly lysine with its antiviral effects and methionine – increases with lactic acid fermentation.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: normal;">You don&#8217;t need to read any medical studies to realize the importance of traditionally lacto-fermented foods. Humans have been consuming them since humanity began and they are at the basis of human civilization. Once we stopped consuming them due to the rise of the processed food industry we became fat and diseased. Common sense is all we need to understand the importance of Fermented foods.</span></p>
<h3>Warning: <span style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 13px;">Before you go rushing out to buy a jar of pickles so you can get ready for the beach keep in mind that the commercially fermented foods found in stores is not really fermented and has no health benefits. We have lost this knowledge through out the years. Read on to learn why this is now a secret.</span></h3>
<h3>History of Fermented Foods</h3>
<p>Capitan James cook, The British explorer who far extended the reaches of the English empire used sauerkraut to sustain his crew on long voyages. Sixty barrels of sauerkraut lasted for twenty seven months. Not a single crew member got <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scurvy">scurvy</a>, which previously had killed many crew members on long voyages. Humans have used fermented foods to sustain themselves through lean times since humanity began. Fermented foods and human history  are so closely intertwined that is unimaginable how we have become so detached from them now.</p>
<p>It can be argued that fermented Foods are the basis of human culture. The word &#8220;culture&#8221; comes from the art of fermentation. Fermentation creates cultures in food that develop as the bacteria grows and multiplies, aiding in digestion and making food more nutritious. Cultures such as the French with their wine and cheese and the Japanese with their miso and naato  are known to be well cultured. Americans who are criticized for a lack of culture have largely given up on traditionally fermented foods. Instead we as Americans now consume canned, pasteurized and heavily processed (embalmed) foods.</p>
<h3>Real Fermented Foods</h3>
<p>For a food to be considered fermented it must be <strong>traditionally lacto-fermented</strong>. Lacto-fermentation is the process by which bacterium and yeasts consume all the sugars,carbohydrates and proteins in foods to produce lactic acid. This process makes foods much more digestible and nutritious. The pickles, olives and sauerkraut you find on supermarket shelves now does not use traditional lacto-fermentation. Rather they are brined, pasteurized and loaded with acidic vinegars to stop fermentation.</p>
<p>&#8220;If you leave a jar of pickles that is still fermenting at room temperature on the kitchen counter, they will continue to ferment and produce CO2, possibly blowing off the lid or exploding the jar,&#8221; says Richard Henschel of Pickle Packers International. This is why all &#8220;shelf-stable&#8221; pickles are pasteurized. We now know how bad pasteurization is from the <a href="http://rayshealth.com/milk-lactose-pus-steroids-facts/">dangers of pasteurized milk</a>. Big business only cares about their bottom line and the result is the foods we think are fermented are just pale imitations that do nothing for our health.</p>
<h3>How to Make your own Fermented Foods</h3>
<p>Our food industry has failed us so we must do it ourselves. Real warriors have no problem doing things ourselves, we love it. You will love making your own traditionally lacto-fermented foods. I promise you they will be better tasting than anything you could ever buy and once the ladies have a taste of your pickles, kimchee or saurkraut they will always be coming back for more <img src='http://rayshealth.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>All you need to fermented vegetables is</p>
<ul>
<li>the vegetables themselves &#8211; cabbage ferments very easily</li>
<li>salt &#8211; sea Salt or Kosher Salt is best</li>
<li>a jar &#8211; keep the lid on loosely or just place it on top without tightening it and put a napkin between the lid and the jar</li>
<li>a cool dry place to store the jar &#8211; room temperature is best, the warmer it is the faster fermentation occurs, the colder the slower.</li>
</ul>
<p>You don&#8217;t even need to add water as most vegetables such as cabbage will give off water once salted. Then you just put them in a jar and store them with the lid on very lightly in a cool dark place for three to five days. That is all you need to do. In those five days the fermentation will have already have happened so you can put them in the regenerators to slow down any further fermentation and have it last longer. Fermented foods can last for months refrigerated but once you get hooked on fermentation I can promise you the most any one jar will last is a week, because you will be eating them that fast <img src='http://rayshealth.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://rayshealth.com/raw-meat-cold-cook-sauce-recipe/" title="Permanent link to Raw Meat Cold Cook Sauce Recipe"><img class="post_image alignnone" src="http://rayshealth.com/images/foods/bisonballs.jpg" width="600" height="450" alt="Post image for Raw Meat Cold Cook Sauce Recipe" /></a>
</p><p><a href="http://rayshealth.com/images/foods/bisonballs.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1646" title="maleenhancement" src="/images/foods/bisonballs.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="450" /></a></p>
<p>Raw Meat is without a doubt the must nutritious thing you can put into your body.</p>
<p>What studies do I have to back this up? Only how I feel, how I look and how strong I feel after having some raw <a href="http://rayshealth.com/buffalo-meat-aka-bison-the-best-meat-for-getting-ripped/">bison </a>or raw fish. The next day I feel immensely strong, sexually activated and I am lean and ripped. I&#8217;ll take that over a medical study any day.</p>
<p>When you have meat raw you get far more protein, vitamins and minerals out of it than what is mentioned on the label. This is because those nutrition facts are collected only after the food has been boiled. This is how they do things in the lab. We know for a fact now that proteins are destroyed and deformed at anything above 118 degrees.</p>
<h3>Is it Healthy to eat meat raw?</h3>
<p>The answer is YES, it is far MORE HEALTHY TO EAT YOUR MEAT RAW.</p>
<p>There are only three things you must do to ensure you get the most out of it and never get sick.</p>
<ol>
<li>Make certain your meat is from a good source. Avoid beef as it is loaded with steroids, locked up in a cage it&#8217;s entire life and feed the leftover flesh of it&#8217;s own kind. Opt for Bison every time you can. The <a href="http://rayshealth.com/buffalo-meat-aka-bison-the-best-meat-for-getting-ripped/">FDA doesn&#8217;t allow bison to be given any steroids or hormones</a> and is usually grass feed &amp; open range. If you want fish make sure it is wild caught. Avoid pork and chicken.</li>
<li>Cold Cook the meat.  Cold Cooking is an old art where you use the natural base&#8217;s and acids in food to cook meat without heating it. This process also kills off much of any bacteria that has accumulated and acts as a natural preservative. It also makes food more delicious and the best chef&#8217;s marinate their meats in cold cooking sauce before they heat it. The prime cold cooking agents are, lemons, vinegar, salt and garlic.</li>
<li>Give thanks for the animal. This will be ignored by most people as superstition but their are studies that show that when people say prayers before they eat indigestion is cut down by 90% or more. I always pray before I eat and If I am having meat I give additional thanks for the sacrifice of the animal. Respect doesn&#8217;t just go two ways, it goes all ways.</li>
</ol>
<h3>My Cold Cooking Sauce Recipe</h3>
<p>I use my <a href="http://rayshealth.com/tomaya-egyptian-garlic-sauce-recipe/">Egyptian Koshary oil</a> , aka <a href="http://rayshealth.com/tomaya-egyptian-garlic-sauce-recipe/">Tomaya</a>, recipe as a base and add a secret ingredient to flavor the meat. The below portions are for a pound of meat. I assume <a href="http://rayshealth.com/buffalo-meat-aka-bison-the-best-meat-for-getting-ripped/">Bison </a>for this article.</p>
<ul>
<li>1 whole lemon, squeezed</li>
<li>1/2 a head of garlic , minced or crushed</li>
<li>teaspoon of vinegar <span style="color: #888888;">optional</span> (added for extra enzymes, optional if you already have lemon juice)</li>
<li>1/4 cup of olive oil <span style="color: #888888;">optional </span>( bison meat is so lean that I like to add some extra fat, optional )</li>
<li>Red Miso Paste ( this is the secret ingredient that really helps bring out the flavor of the meat, required for bison, use yellow miso for fish )</li>
<li>Celtic Sea Salt ( acts as a natural preservative so this should last in your fridge for about 3 days )</li>
</ul>
<p>Put your ground bison or minced meat into this sauce for about 10-20 minutes and you will notice the meat will turn brown. This means it is now cold cooked!</p>
<h3>Optional Extras</h3>
<p>After the meat is cold cooked I like to add a few extra things to make it even better.</p>
<ul>
<li>1/2 a cucumber minced</li>
<li>1 White or Red Onion minced</li>
<li>A whole bunch of the Stems left over from my Green Salads. I mince them or put them into the food processor and then add them to the raw meat. Yum and no Waste!</li>
</ul>
<p>Be creative and add what you like to your Raw meat Tartar. Just remember not to add any acidic fruits or starches as that will hamper digestion. More on Proper Food Combining later.</p>

</p><div id="attachment_1624" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 650px">
	<a href="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/maleenhancement1.png"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-1646" title="maleenhancement" src="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/maleenhancement1.png" alt="" width="650" height="487" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Size does matter gentlemen, women just say otherwise to be kind. If you love women and sex then you will find the time to exercise your Phallus into the big buff, vascular, rock hard temple to manhood it should be.</p>
</div>
<p>It is possible to enlarge your penis naturally and greatly your sexual health as well.</p>
<p>Ever wish you could &#8230;</p>
<ul>
<li>Have a longer penis</li>
<li>Have a thicker erect phallus</li>
<li>Get an erection more easily</li>
<li>Effortlessly maintain an erection during sex</li>
<li>Go for hours without ejaculating until she tapped out</li>
<li>Fire your ejaculations across the room adult film star style</li>
</ul>
<p>It is all possible but there is no magic pill. In fact there is nothing you can buy. It all depends on how badly you want and will work for it. The first step is the knowledge. Read on.</p>
<p>There are 4 techniques which must be practiced and mastered to achieve amazing sexual power and a truly powerful male member. All of these technique you can do with your bare body, no pills, creams, weird devices or surgery required. This is the best most concise guide to Penis enlargement and male enhancement there is and I am giving this knowledge away for free in the interest of helping all men and women. How I wish my father taught me these things when I was a boy&#8230; sigh..</p>
<p><strong>The Four Secrets of Male Enhancement</strong></p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Jelqing</strong>: An ancient technique which will improve the <em>vascularity</em>, over all health, <em>hardness</em>, <em>length </em>and especially <em>thickness </em>of your phallus.</li>
<li><strong>Nile </strong><strong>Stretches</strong>: For those that want <em>even more length</em> stretching your penis naturally acts as a good supplement to Jelqing.</li>
<li><strong>Egyptian Cock Crunches</strong>: Also known as Kegels but this technique is specifically developed for men. Kegels help you maintain <em>strong erections</em> and <em>control your ejaculations</em> much better. You will also be able to <em>shoot your ejaculations farther</em>.</li>
<li><strong>Taoist Breathing</strong>: knowing how to breathe properly is critical in <em>controlling your ejaculations</em>. Most men suffer from premature ejaculation because they have not mastered Taoist breathing techniques. They work!</li>
</ul>
<p>Think of these four secrets as the points at the base of a pyramid. United at the top is sexual mastery and long lasting sexual health and happiness. You will be master and commander in the bedroom, or wherever you choose to exercise your sexual power. Your woman will love you for this. As will all things that work, hard work is required. It isn&#8217;t actually hard, all one needs is consistency and 10 minutes a day. You&#8217;ve got then minutes a day right?</p>
<p>My journey with this began a year ago in Egypt.</p>
<h2><strong>Jelqing</strong></h2>
<p>Also known as &#8220;milking&#8221; the penis, jelqing was practiced and perfected by Sudanese Arabs, they now live in the South of Egypt. This knowledge is still known to them yet has been mostly lost in northern Egypt due to imperialism and colonization.</p>
<p>Visiting There last year I met a fellow from Sudan visiting the museum in Cairo with his children. We talked for hours and came upon this topic. I was amazed to learn that this is still common practice in some parts of Sudan. He told me he was starting his son on it when he turned 12. When he showed me how big a man could get length wise by motioning with his hands I was skeptical, but after a year of practice I can say it works.</p>
<p>I wish me dad had done the same for me. Being Egyptian I should know these things. I didn&#8217;t then but I do now and it has made a tremendous difference. Lets see how it is done.</p>
<p><strong>Science of Jelqing</strong></p>
<p>Jelqing works by pushing more blood into the penis but squeezing it in starting from the base upwards. Imagine a steam roller going over a balloon. This milking will expand and stretch the cell walls of the <em>corpora cavernosa</em> to allow larger quantities of blood to enter the penis. Jelqing will increase the size of both the flaccid and erect penis, but most markedly in the erect penis.</p>

	<a href="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/penis.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1626" title="penis" src="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/penis.jpg" alt="" width="429" height="325" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">The purpose of the jelq exercise is to force more blood into the corpora cavernosa (the spongy tissue that makes up the penis). This is achieved by using a &quot;milking&quot; technique on the penis.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Before you Begin&#8230; </strong></p>
<p>Pull out the Tape measure!</p>
<p>Measure your penis flaccid and erect. Measure both the length and the thickness. It doesn&#8217;t matter how you do it just do it the same way each time.  A cloth tape measure is the perfect tool for this.</p>
<p>Take these measurements every week. and write them down in a journal. You will be glad you did in just a month, trust me.</p>
<div id="attachment_1627" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 120px">
	<a href="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/jelqok.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1627" title="jelqok" src="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/jelqok.jpg" alt="" width="120" height="180" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">The OK Grip is all you need to begin jelqing.</p>
</div>
<p><strong>Ancient Egyptian Penis Enhancement Technique ( Jelqing )</strong></p>
<p>Tools needed</p>
<ul>
<li>your right or left hand</li>
<li>a towel</li>
<li>olive oil or coconut oil ( Egyptians used animal fat )</li>
<li>some images of sexy women or your imagination</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Beginners Jelqing Routine</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Wet a towel with warm water and wrap your penis in it for a mximum of ten minutes. A warm shower will also suffice. This will allow more blood to flow through it and prepare it nicely for the jelqing exercise, much as boxers warm up with jumping rope before a fight.</li>
<li>Try to be anywhere from 30% to a maximum of 80% erect before you begin. For the first few times start around 30% erect and then workup as you get more experienced.</li>
<li>Get some olive oil or coconut oil and rub some on the shaft of your penis.</li>
<li>Using the OK grip wrap your fingers around the base of your semi erect penis. Squeeze it enough you feel the blood get trapped as you slowly move your hand up towards the end of your penis. You should see it swell and grow more vascular as it nears the top.</li>
<li>Extra Credit: before you clamp down with the OK grip do a kegel to trap more blood into your penis. This helps improve the effectiveness of the jelq. That fellow I met in Egypt taught me this little trick.</li>
<li>Stop an inch from the beginning of the head of your penis and feel how that area is now swollen with blood. This is what will make it bigger over time. Hold it there for a second or two and then continue to where the head of your penis begins. Notice how swollen the head of your penis is now. This will make it bigger as well. Women love a fat penis head. It hits their back wall very nicely and fills them up at the very end which is rare.</li>
<li>Repeat this for a total of ten times. Take a rest and then do two more sets of ten for a total of three sets. This equals thirty jelqs a day.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Advanced Jelq Routine</strong></p>
<p>Once you get a feel for how long it takes to do thirty of them right and feel the difference in your phallus, dedicate an entire hour to jelqing every day. Take a day break once a week and in three months you will see massive gains. An average guy can go from 5 to 6 inches to eight to ten inches. You could do adult films if you wished.</p>
<p>Thirty of these about 5 days a week, take two days rest, will work wonders. After a month of doing the above you should notice a difference in the thickness of your erect phallus. You should also notice increased vascularity and hardness. Your women will too. This takes me about ten minutes a day. I started with ten minutes and now often go a half hour every day after my workout. To get<strong> really big gains</strong> you should devote <strong>an hour every day</strong>.</p>
<p>After three months of doing this gains of over an inch and a half in thickness ( thickness is what counts ) and almost two inches in length are not uncommon. Even better will be how hard your phallus gets. The gains in the <a href="http://raysavant.com/lesbian-knows-best-yeah-rite/">vascularity of the phallus</a> are also a bonus, it really turns women on when you have a &#8220;Buff Cock&#8221; Sorry, no pictures <img src='http://rayshealth.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;"><strong>Frequently Asked Questions about Jelqing</strong></span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Q: If Jelqing works so well then why isn&#8217;t common knowledge? Why doesn&#8217;t everyone do it?<br />
A: Jelqing does work amazingly well yet it takes time and work. In this day an age people would prefer to pop a pill instead of actually train. </span></span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Q: If I really do it all the way how much can I gain in six months?<br />
A: If you devote an hour a day to jelqing you can easily gain two inches or more of girth and well over three inches in length. As a bonus you will have a rock hard, vascular health phallus</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Q: How long will these gains last?<br />
A: The gains from jelqing are permanent. You should do at least a month of light jelqing afterwards to solidify your gains once you are happy with them.</span></span></strong></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">Q: Is there anything that I can eat or drink or supplements that can help?<br />
A: No supplements really help with Penis enlargement. The best you can do is make sure your body gets a protein rich high nutrient food intake daily, the same way you feed your muscles you also feed your phallus. <a href="http://rayshealth.com/buffalo-meat-aka-bison-the-best-meat-for-getting-ripped/">Protein</a>, essential fats and <a href="http://rayshealth.com/coconuts-get-ripped/">good hydration</a> are the three most important things. If you really want to be daring you can combine jelqing with daily doses of <a href="http://rayshealth.com/hgh-review/">HGH</a>. The HGH won&#8217;t really make your phallus that much bigger but it will make it even healthier.</span></span></strong></span></p>
<h2>Nile Stretches</h2>
<p>For those that want even more length than jelqing alone will provide, stretching is the answer. Stretching should be used as a supplement to jelqing.</p>
<p>Forget the weights and weird devices all you need is</p>
<ul>
<li>the OK grip with your chosen hand</li>
<li>some baby powder</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Nile Style Stretching Routine</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Warm up with a warm towel on your penis or a hot shower. It is a good idea to do the stretching before the jelqing if you choose to do both.</li>
<li>Dry yourself off and apply some baby powder to the head of your penis. This keeps your grip on it nice and steady.</li>
<li>Firmly put clasp your penis underneath the head. Peel your foreskin back if you are uncircumsized. This grips helps you hold onto it best.</li>
<li>Tug on it directly in front of you so it is parallel with the ground. Don&#8217;t pull to hard, just a firm tug is all that is required. Beginners often pull to hard. Hold this tug for a count of five.</li>
<li>Move your hand all the way to the right so you are touching your right hip. Hold for a count of five.</li>
<li>Move your hand all the way to the left so you are touching your left hip. Hold for a count of five.</li>
<li>Bring your hand all the way down and in the center so it is underneath your testicles. Hold for a count of five.</li>
<li>Bring your hand all the way up and in the center so it is touching your belly button. Hold for a count of ten. I will explain later why it is necessary to hold it here longer.</li>
<li>Gently move your hand in a circle first left then right. This gives the ligaments a final all inclusive stretch.</li>
<li>Repeat the above two more times for a total of three sets.</li>
</ol>
<p>This stretching routine will really augment the Jelqing and can easily add an additional inch in thickness if done five times a week for three months. With The Ancient Egyptian Jelqing and Stretching techniques you could gain over two inches in length to your erect phallus in just three months!</p>
<p>Note: The reason why you hold the top position twice as long is because most men need this to achieve optimal gains. It all has to do with the tightness of the ligaments that anchor your penis to your pelvis.</p>
<h2>Egyptian Cock Crunches</h2>
<p>Erection hardness, effortless erection maintenance and total ejaculation control are the main benefits of cock crunches.</p>
<p>Cock crunches are what I call the flexing of the Bulbocavernosus muscle (BC muscle). The sudanese Arabian fellow got into this slightly. My arabic was not the best then but he described it as &#8220;flexing&#8221; your cock or &#8220;making it jump&#8221; when hard. The closest thing I can compare them too is Kegels but cock crunches focus on a different muscle.</p>
<p><strong>History of Kegels</strong></p>
<p><a href="http://www.gyneflex.com/kegel_article.html">Dr. Arnold Kegels ground breaking work</a> on improving female sexual health has helped many women live healthier lives after child birth. &#8220;Kegel&#8217;s&#8221; as they have come to be known are exercises which involve squeezing the anus such that the Pubococcygeus muscle is contracted. The PC muscle is the muscle wall at the bottom of the pelvis and besides keeping your organs from falling out it makes bowl movements possible.  The PC muscle As such women have benefited sexually as well from Dr. Kegels ideas.</p>
<p><strong>How are Cock Crunches different from Kegels?</strong></p>
<p>The benefits of kegels are termendous for women who have given birth, they truly do help tighten everything up. Kegels also help balance by strengthen the structural integrity of the hips. Sexually while kegels can be useful, they are only marginally useful in that when people do kegels the focus is on the PC muscle with only peripheral contractions of the BC muscle. The focus of of Cock Crunches is to focus exclusively on the BC muscle to get maximum sexual benefit.</p>
<p>It is very hard to find information on the net or anywhere for that matter on the difference between the PC and BC muscles. It is in this small detail that the power of cock crunches comes to logical sense.</p>
<div id="attachment_1634" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 600px">
	<a href="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/pcorbc.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1634" title="pcorbc" src="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/pcorbc.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="480" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Notice how the BC muscle wraps around the interior of the shaft of the penis. It weaves around it and when flexed can trap the flow of blood and stop the flow of urine as well. To feel it being flexed place a finger between your scrotum and anus and try and flex your cock. You should feel it constrict. This is a different muscle being contracted than if you squeezed your anus, which would be your PC muscle.</p>
</div>
<div id="attachment_1632" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 600px">
	<a href="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/pelvicmuscles.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1632" title="pelvicmuscles" src="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/pelvicmuscles.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="480" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Both men and women have PC muscles. The PC muscle along with the liococcygeus muscle ( IC muscle ) keep our organs from falling out and help us to control our bowl movements. Sexually there is not much to be gained from exercising this muscle for men as it does not make contact with the phallus.</p>
</div>
<div id="attachment_1633" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 600px">
	<a href="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/perinealmuscles.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-1633" title="perinealmuscles" src="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/perinealmuscles.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="480" /></a>
	<p class="wp-caption-text">Notice how the PC muscle wraps around the penis at it&#39;s interior base. This muscle is what allows us to flex our phallus when we are hard and make them jump. When you do this inside of a woman powerfully, you will notice their whole bodies jump, such is it&#39;s power. Women that can squeeze their vagina&#39;s also have powerfully developed BC muscles which would have been even more powerful if they learned to focus on the BC directly instead of peripherally through Kegels.</p>
</div>
<p>Once you get good at Cock Crunches you can do them everywhere and anywhere. I do them while driving and focus on them intensly if I am ever in traffic. Living in Los Angeles with this routine has made me mighty indeed.</p>
<p>All you need is your phallus. First practice them sitting down. Then you can do them standing or sleeping.</p>
<p>The first step is to feel the difference between your PC muscle and your BC muscle. First lets see how to do a proper kegel.</p>
<p><strong>How to do a proper Kegel</strong></p>
<p>When you do Kegels and flex your PC muscle you simply squeeze on your anus. You will first feel your external anal sphincter contract, then with enough force your internal anal spinchter will contract as well. Finally you should feel the bottom of your pelvis &#8220;lift&#8221; This is your PC and IC muscle contracting fully. They both form your &#8220;pelvic diaphram&#8221; This is a Kegel and is also known as the &#8220;Anal Breathing Lock&#8221; in Taoist Breathing. More on this later.</p>
<p>When you get very good at these you will also notice your testicles contracting and your penis going in slightly. If you are erect and do a Kegel fully you will notice your penis twitch or jump. This happens because when you do a Kegel all the way your BC muscle also contracts slightly. Cock Crunches focus purely on the BC muscle for maximum sexual control. When you become skilled with cock crunches you do not even need to engage your PC muscle at all.</p>
<p><strong>The Cock Crunch Program</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Squeeze your BC muscle and try and hold it for three seconds. You should notice your testicles recede into your abdomen slightly. There are Kung Fu and Taoist masters who are so good at this they can suck their testicles all the way up into their bellies. A great move for fighters.</li>
<li>Relax your BC muscle for two seconds. Breathe out when you release. This will all tie into the taoist Breathing later and help even more with ejaculation control, giving you complete control of your orgasms.</li>
<li>Repeat this ten times at least three times a day.</li>
</ol>
<p>The more you begin to feel your BC muscle and really go into your cock crunches you will be more aware of your phallus and how it functions. Erections will become much easier to maintain and cock crunches will be a breeze anywhere. This program is very simple but simply requires displine.</p>
<p><strong>Great times to practice cock crunches are</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Whenever you urinate. Stop the flow of urine with just your BC muscle five times.</li>
<li>While waiting in traffic</li>
<li>Sitting down in the subway</li>
<li>In the shower</li>
<li>Waiting in an elevator</li>
<li>Listening to your boss</li>
<li>Pretending to pay attention to girl</li>
<li>Walking your dog</li>
</ul>
<p>After a month of Egyptian Cock Crunches you will be on a different level sexually. Any anxiety you ever had about maintaining an erection inside a woman will vanish. This will in turn free you up to focus more on the woman and you will become a better lover naturally. Your erections wil also be much harder as you can keep your BC muscle flexed inside of her. Feel free to make her vagina jump with a few Cock Crunches out of the blue. When you combine Jelqing with Cock Crunches your erections will be monstrous.</p>
<p>Cock Crunches also help in ejaculation control. Whenever you feel like you are about to come. Do a full cock crunch and hold it. Pull out of the girl and squeeze the head of your phallus as well if you have too. Take three deep breaths and then jump back on her. You can go on like this for hours.</p>
<h2>Taoist Breathing</h2>
<p>Proper breathing is as necessary to fighting as it is to sex. Master this and premature ejaculations will never trouble you again. If you are one of the few lucky men who never had this problem then you&#8217;ll be able to go as long as you wish and only come when you choose.</p>
<p>The Taoist sages of Ancient China knew how important this was when it came to sex and used proper breathing to exercise amazing sexual stamina. Taoist lore is replete with tales of recluse sages coming down from their mountain retreats and spending all their hard begged for monies in brothels. They would go through every women there until the ladies could take it no longer. Then after they were satisfied they would make the decision whether or not to ejaculate. This is the kind of self control we want.</p>
<p>Correct breathe control makes all the difference to your endurance, both psychically and sexually. Watch how children breathe, through their belly&#8217;s, this is correct. As we age we start breathing through our chests which is highly inefficient. Besides amazing sex breathe control is one of the keys to good health and longevity. Proper Taoist Breathing is very deep and thus out of scope for this already too long article.</p>
<p>Watch for my Taoist Breathing Article coming soon.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://rayshealth.com/the-best-greens-for-detox-weight-loss-abs/" title="Permanent link to The Best Greens for Detox, Weight Loss &#038; Abs"><img class="post_image alignnone" src="http://rayshealth.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/kale.jpg" width="300" height="340" alt="Post image for The Best Greens for Detox, Weight Loss &#038; Abs" /></a>
</p><p>Greens are an essential component to weight loss.</p>
<p>The benefits of eating greens are</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Fiber</strong>: Greens are loaded with fiber. Humans get 10 times less fiber now than we used to a hundred years ago. Fiber helps keep our colons healthy which keeps us regular and aids in Colon Health.</li>
<li><strong>Colon Health</strong>: The fiber in greens also helps us detoxify our colons. Our colons are often clogged up with dried up mucus and rotted meat.</li>
<li><strong>Belly Fat Removal</strong>: Our body uses fat to coat and neutralize the  toxins mentioned above. These toxins  form near our colons which naturally results in belly fat. When we detoxify our colons the toxins also go and thus the belly fat.</li>
<li><strong>Hormonal Balance</strong>: Greens have nutrients that help counter the xeno-hormones found in our food and plastic containers. These xeno-hormones raise our estrogen levels and make us retain more water and fat.</li>
<li>C<strong>urbs Appetite for Carbohydrates</strong>: The Fiber in these Greens helps to control your appetite for carbohydrates especially late at night. This is a major aid to eight loss.</li>
</ul>
<p>Have a salad of these greens twice a day and you will start craving them. Do this for a month and the weight loss benefits are enormous. I will soon be releasing the results of my new nutrition program and greens are a cornerstone. You will be astounded!</p>
<p>The best way to prepare these greens is a simple salad. The ingredients are</p>
<ul>
<li>Olive oil</li>
<li>Celtic Sea Salt</li>
<li>Lemon (squeezed)</li>
<li>Apple Cider Vinegar</li>
<li>and the below greens in whatever combination you choose.</li>
</ul>
<p>Calorie for calorie, leafy green vegetables like spinach with its delicate texture and jade green color provide more nutrients than any other food. Not all greens are created equal however. Here are the very best of the bunch.</p>
<ol>
<li>Kale</li>
<li>Collard Greens</li>
<li>Swiss Chard</li>
<li>Spinach</li>
</ol>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">The American Buffalo, plural is Bison, is an amazing animal and eating it is good for you. IT kept the native American Indians strong for thousands of years and it can get you ripped.</p>
</div>
<p>I was recently introduced to Buffalo meat and I can&#8217;t ever go back to beef.</p>
<p>Benefits of buffalo meat ( also known as Bison )</p>
<ol>
<li>Bison tastes better than beef. It has a lighter sweeter more lively flavor and does not taste gamey</li>
<li>Bison has 70-90% less fat than beef. There is never that greasy taste in your mouth.</li>
<li>Bison has 50% less cholesterol than beef. Big bonus to heart health.</li>
<li>Bison has 25% more protein than beef. This makes it an awesome food for building lean muscle.</li>
<li>Bison has incredibly high iron levels for meat which lead Reader Digest magazine to list it as a top 5 food for women.</li>
<li>Bison is rich in the essential fatty acids.</li>
<li>Bison has no steroids or hormones added. The FDA forbids it so we can count on Bison always being free of feminizing hormones.</li>
<li>Bison is almost always grass fed so we can eat it with good karma.</li>
<li>Bison also has uncommonly high levels of zinc, phosphorus, niacin, vitamin B6 and B12</li>
<li>Did I forget to mention bison tastes amazing!</li>
</ol>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">Vitamin Water is a true and total scam. It should be called Useless Fatty Water</p>
</div>
<p>Vitamin Water is one of the worst products on the market, even worse than soda!</p>
<p>It disgusts me how companies lie to consumers out right just for profit. Vitamin water was started in 1996 and then sold to Coca-Cola in 2001 for over 4 billion dollars. A spectacular entrepreneurial achievement, a pity it was built on lies and poisoning people. Lets analyze just how bad Vitamin Water is for you.</p>
<ul>
<li>2.5 servings at 8oz each, with 13 grams of Sugar equals about<strong> 34 grams of Sugar for each 16 oz Vitamin Water</strong>. Drink one of those each day for a year and that is about 20 lbs of Fat a year. Drink two a day and that is 64 grams of sugar for a total of about 55 lbs of belly fat a year. Even worse than Gatorade and worse than most Sodas, Wow, that is an accomplishment in dietary evil if there ever was one!</li>
<li><strong><em>Crysta-line fructose</em></strong> is just another term for <strong>High Fructose Corn Syrup</strong>. <a href="http://rayshealth.com/fructose-wars-sugar-soda-weight-loss/">High Fructose Corn Syrup is poisonous to your liver much like alcohol without the buzz and it is metabolizes as belly fat immediately</a>.</li>
<li>Whenever you see natural flavor that is just deceptive jargon for <strong>MSG</strong>, which is a food additive which is basically mind poison.</li>
<li><strong>Bad Vitamins</strong>! The vitamins listed on the label basically do not exist as your body cannot absorb them without other nutrients which are missing. The vitamins that you can absorb you already get way to much of from the processed foods we eat, so in actuality those &#8220;Vitamins&#8221; just hurt your health as they force your body to excrete them in your urine, stressing your liver and kidneys for no reason.</li>

	<p class="wp-caption-text">I used to have a friend who drank two Vitamin Waters a day. That is 68 grams of Sugar a day. Drink two of those a day for a year and you will gain over 60lbs of belly fat in that year. This is exactly what happened to my friend. He always wondered how it happened when he was drinking &quot;healthy&quot; Vitamin Water. So sad</p>

<p><strong>Final Word</strong></p>
<p>Vitamin Water is one of the worst things you can put into your body. Pure Poison. Vitamin Water&#8217;s vitamins are useless as most of them cannot be absorbed by the body. What is absorbed by the body is all the High Fructose Corn Syrup which becomes belly fat. Vitamin Water is even worse than Gatorade, much worse.</p>
<p><strong>Replacements for Vitamin Water</strong></p>
