England Boss Roy Hodgson Singles Out Everton Star Ross Barkley For Special Wembley Performance
As England beat hapless Estonia last night at London`s Wembley Stadium taking their European qualifying record to nine wins from nine games boss Roy Hodgson singled out rising star Ross Barkley for his outstanding performance.
21 year old Ross Barkley, a graduate of Everton`s excellent youth development system shone in last nights game setting up Theo Walcott`s opening goal on the stroke of half time and lighting up an otherwise uneventful game with his dazzling display confirming the growing stature of his precocious talent.
Hodgson had this to say about the brilliant young Everton and England man.
"It`s not often that I contest people`s choice for man of the match. There were one or two other candidates, but I`m pleased Ross got it. We saw what he can do out there."
Barkley has been in excellent form for Everton this season and seems to have found a role within the team that he thrives in after manage Roberto Martinez dropped him into a slightly deeper midfield role where he can dictate the game with his passing and attacking instincts. The young Merseyside native had this to say about his own performance.
"I`m over the moon with my performance. I was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet. Because I`m an attacking midfielder it is important to get goals, but it was even more important we got the three points."
Barkley had started the game for England last night but maybe only because Micheal Carrick was out injured. On last nights mercurial display Barkley has proved that he should certainly be picked ahead of the over-rated and ineffectual Manchester United midfielder whose place in the England team probably has more to do with Hodgsons bias for picking players from the "big" clubs ahead of better players who do not play for the "Sky five."

A Book That Will Change Your Life : Colon Health, They Key To A Vibrant Life By Dr. Norman W. Walker
There are so many practices that we can adopt to improve our health and reduce our chances of contracting serious illness or disease. One of the most overlooked of those is to try and ensure that you have a clean, healthy functioning colon.
The colon, often referred to as the large bowel or large intestine is an important part of the digestive tract. The digestive tract is the part of the body`s organs which passes digested food and liquid through the body to its place of elimination. It is therefore imperative that the colon functions properly so that the waste products that your body produces are eliminated correctly.
Some weeks ago I read a book called, "Colon Health, The Key To A Vibrant Life", written by Dr. Norman W. Walker.
It is an incredible book and is a must read for anybody who wishes to live a healthy life.
Dr. Walker asserts with great confidence that the colon is simply one of the most important organs in the body because it is connected with every other part of the body via the bloodstream. Toxins absorbed by the colon pass into the bloodstream and therefore are moved around the body.
Dr. Walker argues that a huge number of illnesses and diseases can be avoided and cured by concentrating on having a clean colon. And having a clean colon is not difficult all it requires is that you consume a diet of high fibre, high water foods. Meat and dairy products and processed foods contain no fibre and therefore they do not pass through the colon but form a sticky paste which grasps onto the sides of your colon and coats it with a slime that is essentially rotting putrefying mucus that will cause illness and disease. Indeed, more and more studies into colon cancer are showing that a dirty, sticky colon is the main reason for contracting colon cancer.
I would recommend that you purchase this book and read it cover to cover maybe more than once as the revelations found within are startling. I have begun focusing on my colon health and have certainly found a marked improvement in my overall physical health. Give the book a read, you never know, it might just save your life.

The Importance Of Having A Rest Day
You may be eager to exercise every day but be careful not to overdo it and make sure that you have a rest day.
It is Sunday right now as I write this, a quarter past five in the early evening here in Berkshire, England and I am happy to say that I have spent the entire day doing nothing for today I decided to have a rest day.
During the last seven days I have run twice and cycled intensively. Yesterday I plotted a new course in my local area that includes excellent undulating hills for my bike and I to enjoy. I pushed myself hard once again and arrived home swimming in sweat and aching from the exertion. But, ultimately feeling incredibly happy as those endorphins raced through my brain. I fell into bed last night feeling elated and exhausted and was asleep before I even felt the warmth of my bed sheets covering my body.
Exercise is wonderful and often leaves me feeling tired, happy and almost in a state not far removed from feeling stoned as Youtuber Mango.Margaux recently explained.
Consistent exercise and wonderfully healthy eating is the best way to achieve fitness and good health of course but you must be careful. It is all too easy to become carried away by the joy that exercise gives you and to overdo it.
Consistency is the key to success but you must give yourself some rest days. Days where your activity level is as reduced as possible. After my lung bursting, fat burning efforts during the last seven days today has been my rest day.
I have spent the day either on my sofa or, like now, laying on my bed working on my laptop. I have read, written, e-mailed and generally completed a great deal of work whilst barely moving my body.
Today I ache but it is not a painful ache or the ache of a body that is telling me that it has had enough activity. It is the ache which I enjoy, it tells me that I have worked hard and that my form is working well.
But I must rest and so must you. Rest days are of paramount importance because without them you open yourself up to damage from over exercising and falling foul of injury. Given that consistency is the key to exercise an injury meaning you have to break from your regimen will break that consistency and leave you having to re-build your fitness. Two years ago I developed the early signs of shin splints. I ignored those early warning bells and ended up having to do no exercise for three months. Had I listened to my poorly shins at the outset of their cries I would only have needed to rest for two weeks at the most. Two weeks rest is far better than three months immobility.
So make sure that you rest and rest well. This evening I will be taking to my bed at exactly 8pm to ensure that my body receives the maximum amount of rest that it requires. And even if I am not tired enough to sleep I will be laid down and quiet giving my muscles a chance to continue their natural work of repair and growth.
Rest days are imperative and should not be considered as a day lost in your quest for fitness. They ought to be considered as an important part of your exercise regimen for without them you may find that an enforced rest, pain and recovery becomes your new routine.

Why Is Hatred For The Healthy On The Rise?
It is an odd phenomenon but fit shaming is on the increase, why would that be?
I have had many positive experiences since I became a Vegan, began eating healthily and adopted a regular exercise regime back in June of 2014. The inevitable weight loss that goes with such a lifestyle is obvious but more subtle positive experiences have also taken place.
My overall health has improved immeasurably. My body is stronger than it has ever been, my stamina is now immense. My digestive system has reached levels of productivity that I could not have known was possible. Were I too swallow a house brick I`m positive that I would digest it with no great effort. My food bill has greatly diminished as plant foods are the cheapest and more economical foods available. Rice, Pasta, Potatoes, Pearl Barley, Lentils, Vegetables and all grains and cereals are now my staple foods and all of them can be purchased in large quantities for very little money. My skin and hair have improved and generally speaking, apart from my ongoing mental health problems my attitude and positivity has risen dramatically.
I was expecting some resistance to my becoming a Vegan, yes the usual arguments are heard over and over again. You won`t be able to get enough Protein. You`ll become B12 deficient. Vegans are weak and pasty, hug trees and chew on Mung beans all day and man has always and was meant to eat meat. I won`t elucidate any further because if you are a Vegan you will have heard this all before.
Just Before turning my life on its head and deciding that weighing 203 pounds, guzzling pizza, eating cheese every day and being generally indolent I had armoured myself against these arguments and was readily prepared for their assaults.
However, there was one attack, one negative that I had not foreseen and had certainly never even considered. That is, the hatred and suspicion that vast numbers of people have toward anybody who seeks to improve their health and live a life more conducive to the betterment of themselves but also to the advantage of others, be they animal or environment.
When I lived my previous life of gluttony and laziness and ate nothing but junk food the people around me seemed to have very little concern for my ever increasing corpulence and constant illness. My recurring Prostatitis and Irritable Bowell Syndrome were constant problems during this darker period of my life. Taking anti-biotics every day for six months had little effect on my Prostatitis until I sought the help of a natural method of curing it and within a week or so my recurring bacterial Prostatitis was gone and the agony that goes with it. Those around me were blind or maybe just were used to my terrible food intake and lack of movement.
As soon as I began eating healthily and losing weight the concern amongst my peers grew. Are you eating properly was the most common question as people watched me tucking into a large bowl of Pearl Barley with vegetables and spices with a litre of water. When I would regularly devour a large Dominoes Pepperoni Passion pizza with cheesy garlic bread as a side nobody showed any concern. No concern for a meal containing heart clogging fat, cholesterol, harmful chemicals and all manner of the gods know what. Yet, sit in front of people eating something incredibly healthy and filling and suddenly you are not eating correctly.
When the fat began to dissipate from my body leaving me with a visible jaw line for the first time since I was at primary school suddenly everybody thought that I was being unhealthy. My meals had never been so healthy I was running, cycling and walking four times a week and yet somehow I wasn`t "taking care of myself" as well as I had been when eating chocolate bars and four packets of crisps every day and watching TV during every spare moment.
How has our society become so warped and so twisted that it seems that being overweight, obese even has become normal? That eating a steady diet of junk food and doing nothing to move ourselves has become so every day that when people seek to change and become fit and healthy it`s the fit, healthy people who are seen as abnormal? Why is is acceptable for obese people to attack images of people, mostly women, who are fit and healthy and who live an abundant and positive life yet if you criticise somebody for being overweight and unhealthy then you are a demon and laws should be made to protect the unhealthy from being upset?
A study by professor Klim McPherson from Oxford University has shown that by the year 2020 80% of British men will be clinically obese leading to a rise in all of the chronic illnesses and diseases associated with the condition. This means that it will actually be normal within British society to be obese and to be fit and healthy will be abnormal. Fit and healthy people will actually be in the minority. In the not too distant future those who seek to be fit and healthy will be classed as individuals, subversives, aloof from the rest of society.
When we accept that obesity and ill health are normal then all hope is lost because how do you reverse the corpulence of a nation if those within it see it as normal? And this is why it appears to be fine for unhealthy people to attack those of us who actually care about our health and would actually like to avoid the terrible fatal illnesses that go along with mindlessly eating processed food and animal products.
It is becoming normal to be overweight, unhealthy and ill. I thank the gods therefore that I am not normal. I want better for my life and those that dislike me for it and attack me for it are of no concern to me.
In the not too distant future those who seek to be fit and healthy will be classed as individuals, subversives, aloof from the rest of society. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche had this too say in his seminal work, "Human, All Too Human which sums up why those who choose a life of ill health and obesity seek to attack those that do not.
"The infuriating thing about an individual way of living. People are always angry at anyone who chooses very individual standards for his life ; because of the extraordinary treatment which that man grants for himself, they feel degraded, like ordinary beings".
I think that Nietzsche was right in this instance. As a Vegan and somebody who practices vigilance upon the way that I eat and upon the level of movement that I give to my body I am setting a very high standard for my life. A Vegan is somebody who is prepared to live every day in a way that consigns no living thing to suffer and to die. That is a standard that requires a deal of discipline and work. It is a worthy standard but more importantly it is the standard of an individual. Eating healthily and exercising regularly is yet another standard, a statement to the world as to how an individual should behave and live. Those that travel through life following like sheep, the rest of society stuffing themselves with animal products with no thought for the animal that suffered and died are offended and intimidated by Vegans because as Nietzsche says they are made to feel ordinary. They have not chosen to live by a high standard, maybe by no standards at all so being confronted by those of us who have raises a mirror to their own behaviour and the reflection of themselves that they see is not a pleasant one. It is the reflection of a slaughter house floor and their choice to cover it in the blood of their victims.
Healthy and fit people are attacked for the very same reason. It`s why somebody at home with a large belly tucking into junk food will watch a programme on people trying to lose weight and get fit and laugh at them, calling them idiots for having the audacity for wanting to be healthy and avoid heart disease, Diabetes and Cancer, how dare they!
It is accepted now in our society that it is not a pleasant thing to criticise, point at, or even make comment about somebodies obesity, I have even heard people saying that we shouldn`t use the word "fat" to describe a person. But, the same rules do not apply to those of us who are working hard to improve our physical and mental health, those of us who actually give a damn about our own bodies, after all you`ll only ever have one. It does not apply to those people who think that abusing and killing animals for our pleasure and raping and pillaging the earth is actually a good idea. Aren`t we terrible people?
As obesity becomes a normal condition for the majority of our citizens the hatred for the fit and healthy will only continue to mount. And a society with that kind of future is surely on a road to nowhere.

Type 2 Diabetes Out Of Control - Warning ; Explicit Language
What the hell is going on when somebody chooses the amputation of a limb over eating healthily.
A new report has lifted the lid on an outrageous situation concerning Type two diabetes. As I read the reports and did my own research I became outraged at what is happening in terms of type two diabetes and the fact that 90% of sufferers bring the disease on themselves because the illness is caused by lifestyle choices.
I made a new Youtube video concerning the matter and quote the research. I must warn you that I was incredibly angry and frustrated whilst making the video and so it contains opinions that some may find offensive and a deal of explicit language.

Veganism Is Not Healthy
Veganism is not a health regime. It is a way of living your life to cause no harm to living things.
In my video I discuss my concerns that Veganism is becoming seen as simply a health ideology and new Vegans are making the mistake that becoming a Vegan automatically means that you will be healthy.

My Running Infromation - Garmin Connect
Only my second run in three months. This will be my constant course from now on. My goal is to burn fat and become more lean and not increase my stamina so I will always run this same course but every time I run it I will try to complete it in a faster time. That`s how you burn fat more efficiently.

Mental Health Update : Autism, Aspergers, Dissociative Disorder
After waiting ten months for help I am now on the road to better mental health.
I attended an appointment at my local hospitals psychiatric department this afternoon and the appointment was very positive. I received more information about my problem which appears to be a dissociative disorder. I have made a Youtube video detailing the appointment and the possible treatment that I will be receiving.
