The WORST gifts that can harm your friends
You would never want to purposely cause your friends and family diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and cancer, right?
But with some Holiday gifts that are all too common, you do just THAT... you contribute to those horrible health issues for your friends and family.
I know this might sound a little overly health-conscious to some, but every time you buy a friend or family member a junk food gift like a big box of cheap commercial chocolates (loaded with corn syrup and trans fats), pies/cakes, or a giant sugary fruit cake, you're essentially CAUSING your friend or family member to get one-step closer to their grave...
Do you really want to contribute to your friends and family getting horrendous diseases like diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and cancer?
I'm not going to sit here and say that all Holiday junk food is off limits at all times... after all, you know I believe in weekly "cheat days" to keep your sanity and also help your metabolism.
But the problem is that you know that if you give a friend a big box of chocolates or a fruit cake, they're going to eat that crap every day for at least a week straight. And if they're the type of person with no self discipline, you're contributing to their deteriorating health. Not good!
Instead of hurting your friends health... The fact is that there are DELICIOUS YET HEALTHY ways to make mouth-watering chocolates, healthy chocolate fudge, pies, cakes, and all of those other seemingly "off limits" desserts... you just need to use a few tricks that are easy to follow and can make almost any dessert or sweet treat into a healthy "lean-body" version.
My friend Kelley shows you how here:
How to make healthy fat-burning cakes, pies, cheesecake, chocolates, and brownies
I absolutely LOVED this! Instead of sending your friends and family one step closer to the grave, make some of these healthy desserts for them and help them get healthier!
And all of those delicious desserts are gluten-free, low-sugar, diabetic-friendly, and also loaded with healthy fats that contribute to a leaner body.
Also, here are a few more great Holiday gifts that you can give that help spread good health instead of deteriorating health...
1. Food Inc., Movie -- this has been one of my favorite documentaries that sheds light on our horrendous food supply and what you can do about it to protect your health and contribute to the greater good of an improving food supply.
I think this documentary is a MUST-SEE for everyone. If you have kids, it's also good to watch with your kids to teach them about nutrition and our food supply.
2. Burzynski, the Movie -- If you're concerned about cancer, or have a loved one that has been fighting or killed by cancer, this documentary is a must-see. Remember that cancer is BIG business, and unfortunately corporate profits have ruled over saving lives. You'll be infuriated to hear the story about this Polish doctor and biochemist, Burzynski, and his cancer treatment discovery that is MORE effective than chemo or radiation, yet he's been harassed for over a decade by the FDA to keep this treatment hushed up, as it stands to crumble a billion dollar cancer industry.
3. King Corn, Movie -- This is another great documentary about our food supply. This is done in an entertaining way, but also shows why corn is the basis of our food supply, and how basing our food supply around corn deteriorates our health. You'll also learn quite a few new facts about how bad this trend really is in our food supply.
I could probably think of a few more that I've seen over the last year, but these 3 are great gifts, and also must-see documentaries for yourself too! If I remember a few other good ones, I'll let you know.
Another great gift below... although this is more self-improvement instead of health...
A brain trick to learn ANY new language in only 10 days?
You may already know this about me, but I LOVE to travel and explore the world. I've traveled extensively in South America, Central America, Mexico, lots of islands, and Europe. In fact, I just got back from a little surfing and enjoying beautiful Mexico last week.
While traveling is a blast, one of my biggest frustrations is that I only know english and frequently cannot communicate with locals in many of the countries we travel through.
Over the past year or two, I've had the chance to become good friends with the CEO of a really cool company that shows you how to learn ANY language in only 10 days, and 30 minutes per day. The interesting thing is that they don't use any of the standard techniques taught in college courses or even the popular Rosetta Stone.
They use a technique that works MUCH faster and easier than most courses. My girlfriend and I have just started on the spanish version so that the next time we travel to Mexico or any other spanish speaking countries, we can communicate with the locals.
If you want to learn a new language FAST, you'll be blown away by this... check it out:

This makes a great Holiday gift too!
