What is real health and how do we get there? Losing to the ideal weight, exercising every day, eating a balanced diet, is that health? Here are 7 super health tips I got from my health journey.
Super health tip n. # 1: Become Your Own Doctor, Get A Second Opinion – Yours. Three critical facts about today’s doctors. First, they have little or no training in nutrition or in how to prevent or cure disease. Second, they treat their symptoms, not the cause, and third, statistics show that 94% of them are paid to prescribe drugs. 3 good reasons for a second opinion.
Super Health Tip No. 2: balance is essential. A stool has 3 legs – just one or two and you fall over. What you eat determines 70% of your health. Exercise determines 20%: do something. Your health environment, both internally, as you think and feel, and externally, your social network, is 10%.
Super health tip n. # 3: discover super foods. Whole foods provide better nutrition, more energy, and build a stronger immune system. Consume whole grains and seeds in cereals and breads, and wheat germ, bran, and brewer’s yeast. Eat fruits and vegetables and drink green smoothies, fruit smoothies with 2 or 3 green vegetables added. I have my green smoothie recipe on my site.
Super health tip n. # 4: invest in yourself. You educate yourself, you spend thousands of dollars on your house and cars. Invest in your body for the best results throughout your life. Take nutrition courses, read some health books. Learn what supports health and what causes degenerative diseases (tip: it’s what you eat). Read the China Study to revolutionize your life.
Super health tip n. 5: Discipline yourself – no one else can. Become a closet health freak year after year. Don’t spread it, live it. Many people care more about their cars than their bodies, spending more time planning their vacations than caring for the temple they live in. Do not be one of them. Incorporate what you learn into your lifestyle.
Super Health Tip No. 6: health is a journey. Your body is miraculously tough. You can recover from obesity, alcoholism, drug addiction, and abuse of your body. Your health is always determined by what you do in the previous 3 months of your life. Get engaged and healthier, and live into your 80s, 90s, and even 100 with joy, enthusiasm, and energy.
Super Health Tip No. 7: become 95% vegetarian. The evidence is now conclusive. Fat, cholesterol, triglycerides, and carcinogenic proteins in meat and dairy products clog us, restrict blood flow, decrease oxygen to our cells, slow us down, cause high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, and cancer . Eliminate 95% of meat and dairy. Fruits, vegetables, and grains taste heavenly when your tongue doesn’t filter them through layers of fat, fat, salt, and sugar. The sensational DVD Eating documents it all.
