Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn’t. The food industry has adopted the word because it has a favorable connotation with consumers.                                                                  

It could generally mean food that has not been processed in a factory. Organic may be a more specific definition when speaking of produce. Organic and natural are the same but organic would mean food was not sprayed with harmful insecticides.  Local farmers tell me they use fertilizers and sprays approved as non harmful and still call foods organic.

Meat is a much different story. It would be immoral to call animals raised in factory type conditions in closed spaces and mostly on grain, natural. They are also given hormones to speed up the growth process and then anti-biotics because of the problem incurred from close quarters and eating only grains.

Some meat producers start adding the term natural if they, for instance, give otherwise closed up chickens a door to the outside to feed on a square patch of grass.  The term then gets very general when applied to those who raise animals by feeding mostly on grass in outdoor and pasture environments.

They want to include the word natural because of the good connotation and acceptance. Their animals may be fed on grass when there is no snow and then often fattened up and tenderized with grain at the end of the harvest. Even animal producers will say that beef or other meats raised entirely on grass does not taste as good to the average consumer.

So fully grass fed animals are called natural and growers who give their animals access to grass sometimes will call their meat natural. If you are particular, you have to investigate the details. Websites for natural meats will be very explicit.

Animal types that are frequently grown by small producers and raised natural, grass fed, and organically are beef, buffalo, goat, venison, lamb, and chickens. These producers will talk about land sustainability by not using pesticides or fertilizers that will get into the water system.  They also point out that animals are humanely handled and harvested as opposed to some brutal factory processes.

A typical advertisement for natural grass fed meat is found on this buffalo site which  claims its beef is (http://wildideabuffalo.com/?gclid=CJfasMbHhK4CFaYaQgodCznX2Q)

• 100% grass-fed only
• 100% antibiotic & hormone free
• 100% free roaming
• 100% non-confined
• 100% humanely field harvested

These natural meats are availabe to anyone, but the costs are greatly increased by the specialized dry ice shipping and containers required.  It becomes more economical when you can order half an animal.  In some communities these grass fed animals are ordered by local markets and restaurants.

It would be good karma to acknowledge that in picking these foods you are thankful for the opportunity to build your own body at the sacrifice of another living thing.  Killing plants is not considered inhumane, but you realize that they were picked so that you could eat them.

Acknowledging that this food has been provided for your sustenance helps you identify your connection to nature and the earth. We all must flourish and grow stronger. It is part of the design of nature as stated by Darwin that we are in a struggle for survival of the fittest.

It would be great if we used the energy derived from these natural ingredients to give back. The ancients said that God can only give and man can only receive.  But we know that after we have recognized that we have received, we sometimes want to give back. We want to make a contribution to the community.  We want to help our fellow man.

Just having the bounty of nourishing food that can make us strong should help us appreciate the circle of life.  We’re born, we’re nourished, we have the right to pursue happiness, and we die.  Gratitude is one of the fine ingredients of living a happy life.

Energy is a key to accomplishing our purpose and making our life better. It is no small matter and most of the global population uses props to get their energy. We drink coffee, smoke, eat sugar,  and consume energy drinks just to get through the day. With these props we are probably not tapping our most creative energy.

Our best energy comes from pursuing our passions. The energy produced from being happy with the activities in which we are engaged produces both creative and problem solving power as we are in the flow or zone.  Energy is best served with balanced alpha and beta waves pulsing through our brain.

These waves are supported with healthy nutrition and exercise.  The brain thrives on oxygen which is plentiful in alkaline based blood flow.  Eating natural is the best path to an alkaline based body and blood system.  Exercise burns muscle and rebuilds it by cleaning out the inflammation in our system and replacing it with healthy cytokenes.  Our whole body will humm with proper nutrition and daily muscle burning.

When we take care of ourselves it certainly creates a degree of happiness.  So creating a base of eating healthy and exercising soon leads to better attitude, feeling better, and performing at our best.  Your next excuse is going to be “time” but that’s a story for another day.

Time and energy are both requirements of being fit.  To create time and energy we have to eat healthy and eliminate some other activities.  We waste hours everyday looking at emails, texting,  watching TV, and so on. With 24 hours in a day, there is time to create space for activities that in the long run will give us more time–on earth.

Create more energy by drinking more water and eating less sugar.  Eat clean protein. Have at least one or two salads a day with maybe tuna or chicken added. The lighter food, more protein, and added hydration will decrease the energy used for digestion and add to the energy we have for mental tasks.

Exercise requires mental energy because it requires enthusiasm.  The more mentally active we feel the more likely we are to see exercise as an avenue to temper our high energy and to mellow it.  Mellow high energy is the precursor for creativity.

Exercise balances and supports the alpha and beta waves of our brain which foster creativity and logic/calculating.  If we are to be high performance individuals we need peak mental energy. Exercise eliminates inflammation which erodes physical capabilities and replaces inflammation with high energy cytokenes that rebuild burned muscle cells and energize the body.

So the way out of laziness is to oxidize and energize all our systems with a good aerobic stimulus.  Don’t watch TV, run around the block.

We take life seriously, often too seriously. We have our daily objectives of what must get done today to keep our job or life in order. During the day there will be many obstacles of life events that try to frustrate our progress, like traffic.

We need a smile library. Go through the things in your memories that have made you smile or when you think of them make you smile. Sometimes you can smile with joy just thinking about a certain person. Sometimes you could smile thinking about your favorite dessert. Maybe you got a big check and you felt proud or your child kicked a goal that won a game.

Go to this library to break your mood when life is getting in your way.

I have created a Google + page on Health Fitness and Happiness and soon I will put photos of things that make me smile. Maybe they’ll work for you or maybe you have your own that your mind can bring up on call.

We know some people who get really rich and are in the public eye get themselves into very unhappy situations. We’re they rich in our minds and not in theirs?  Did they give up on improving after they hit a plateau? We might think they had more money than we would need, but did they think they did not have enough money or that with the money, they didn’t get what they needed to fill the hole?

We manipulate happiness buying things even if we don’t think we are rich.  We try buying things because at the moment we fill an inkling of richness and want the whole feel of happiness that buying something brings.  It often brings that feeling for a few minutes or hours or maybe even weeks.

Food can bring temporary happiness when we don’t have the money or the inclination to go out and buy something.  Obesity is certainly the one result of trying to buy a lot of happiness with food.  Alcohol and drugs bring on a lot of nervous system relief which feels like happiness. When you are not worried or anxious, that’s almost as good as happiness.

But happiness would be better if we didn’t have to buy, eat, or drink our way to it.  Do the dues seem to steep to pay to endeavor doing it the hard and long way?  Are we strong enough to take the pain without the medicine of quick reliefs?

What are some of  the feelings of happiness?  Health, fitness, love, gratitude, charity, generosity, contribution, and self expression to name a few.  What do they require? Some real basics would be respecting ourselves, respecting others, wishing well for others, and gratitude for who we are and what we have.

Whether or not we have money or fame we can always be more than we are. We can work on skills and become more skilled.  Skills express who we are. When we are engaged in activities that we enjoy and that require our skills we can get into blissful enjoyment. It is also called flow or being in the zone.  The body rewards this pursuit with the happiness chemical dopamine and other neurotransmitters. The short cut for a few minutes is cocaine.

Love is probably the best solution because it seriously bathes our entire mind, body and spirit.  When we love ourselves because we have the opportunity to self express, enjoy nature, give to others, and receive others’ love, we are living in flow.  Our minds are continuously producing dopamine without the need for money, food, or alcohol.

We can start appreciating our selves by taking care of the body nature gave us. In doing so, we become at one with nature, God, the Universe or what ever you want to call it. With the discipline to eat healthy, exercise to burn muscle, and engage in activities that spark our passions we are achieving true happiness that can last years.

The main purpose would be to get the fuel and recovery we need for burning muscle from strenuous exercise.  When man was created, he had the need to survive like all animals by foraging and hunting. He needed lots of pure energy.

He got this energy by eating foods that were available in the ground and that ran around on four feet.  Everything was clean and pure.  Your body’s needs have not changed. We have only changed our activities.

We have also changed the reasons we eat. We no longer eat just to survive. We eat to handle our emotions.  We eat food our body doesn’t recognize.  We eat what is cheap and not just what is pure. Our body gets confused and our body gets sick and breaks down.

Few things are more difficult than eating what we need and what is good for us.  The result of disciplined eating is more energy all day, better health, longer lives, better performance, more active brains, and happier dispositions.

The discipline of healthy eating can lead to better discipline in other phases of our lives.

You have to have some peace of mind or freedom from anxiety or you are not going to be happy. There are some important requirements and steps that can be taken.  I cannot include your need for medication for anxiety but I will assume normal every day stresses of job, family, and future types of anxieties.

You need to have a plan and feel your house is in order.  Your finances don’t have to perfect, but you need to be free of worry about impending doom. You have to live within your means.  If you can cut back to the point you have savings every month, even if its a dollar, you are there.

Your relationships have to be in order. If you have unresolved issues with people close to you, this will prey on your mind.  You have to be in good health. Chronic issues or concern about developing issues can wreak havoc on your nervous system.

If you are clear of health problems, start building better health in the future with healthy eating and exercise. The leanness you will gain, the pride you will feel, and the relaxation that will result from daily exercise will start to build exponential benefits.

Start expressing yourself. You are a wonder of nature. You have the same talents as given to famous people except they have practiced more than you. Start investing time into a passion that expresses who you are.  As you build competence you will experience periods of “flow” which is engagement without concern for judgment. The brain produces dopamine as happiness in reward for your efforts.

Having your house in order and creating flow in your life daily produces a very delicious cake.

The oxygen renewing rush of heavy breathing energizes all our systems.  When we have pumped fresh oxygen into a body that is fit, it creates a unmatched euphoria.  Runners call it a high and become addicted to it. When I was running with a community track club, we would see injured runners jogging with casts on their feet.

I need to burn muscle every day now for the tranquility on which my mind seems to thrive.  I need that peaceful exhaustion from surfing or running stairs that allows the mellowness to take over my brain. I like to work hard in the morning right up to that time I really need a break.

Exercise refreshes so much better than other habits we form to get relief.  After exercise I am fully productive again.  The rush of oxygen and draining of excess angst from stressing on creativity flush my system and restart my batteries.

I also have that feeling of accomplishment and elevated self esteem from knowing that I am building fitness, immunity, health, and longevity.  I also look better from daily exercise.  Nothing like stroking the ego a little.  The best time to exercise is when you feel too tired to exercise. Give it a run and you will be happy you did.

Real fun comes from stretching your capabilities and reaching new plateaus in self expression or new frontiers in your passionate pursuits.  There is risk expressing yourself.  It takes as much courage as jumping out of an air plane. I know, I have done both.  I used to think that if I conquered things that scared me I would eliminate fear.

I learned you can’t eliminate fear and if you hide, you just live a boring life. You can learn to manager fear. Big time surfers looking at 25 foot waves have lots of fear. They know that death could be the result of their fun. They have practiced competence and apply it to test their capabilities.  That’s real fun.

Testing your limits creates adrenaline and the right amount of adrenaline leads to the production of dopamine. Dopamine is your brain neurotransmitter commonly associated with happiness.  Now we’re talking. If we could have the right dose of daily adrenaline that produced copious amounts of dopamine, we wouldn’t need alcohol to have fun.
