Kaizen (Japanese for improvement) is a philosophy which refers to continuous improvement or change for the better… It wasn’t until my recent trip there that I fully understood what it meant…
Japan is a beautiful country rich in culture, tradition, pride and among many other things unbelievable KINDNESS!!! You might think that with everything they’ve been through as a country they might be angry, resentful or even bitter but it’s the exact opposite. What I experienced was unlike anything I had ever experienced before, it was as if every single person was trying to be the best human being they could be…Kaizen!!! From the attendants at the metro to regular citizens walking down the street, you could feel the kindness and love pouring out of everyone. As if that wasn’t enough the city was impeccable, the streets where free of litter, the side walks free of chewing gum, no visible garbage anywhere… How do they do it? Where did this “Kaizen” come from? And why aren’t we practicing it?
Ready? After World War II an American taught the Japanese the principles of Kaizen in order to help rebuild their industry…the rest is as they say is…history.
I’ve always lived by a belief that we must all try to practice continuous self improvement everyday of our lives in order to truly live… Here it seems to exist in perfect practice! Bravo!!!

New Zealand scientists claim, Vitamin C can help curb the growth of cancer cells!!! They found that ”Tumors with low vitamin C levels had more of a protein called HIF-1 which allows them to thrive in conditions of stress.”
These findings may prove extremely beneficial in limiting the rate of tumor growth and preventing the formation of solid tumors. Very promising, not just in the form of prevention but also as a cure…
A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition describes the outcome of a trial of obese men and women with metabolic syndrome which found a protective effect for blueberries against several cardiovascular disease risk factors.
