Eat Raw Organic Vegetables
Avoid Milk Products
Milk from cows is intended for baby calves that have 4 stomachs to break it down.
Casein in milk lines the intestines and prevents absorption of nutrients.
Milk products are extremely high in fat and calories.
Milk products are extremely high in protein and their assimilation taxes the kidneys and liver.
Milk products come from animals that have often been pumped full of antibiotics and steroids.
Breathe Deeply
Go outside and breathe deeply in the fresh air.
Fill your lungs and hold it in as long as you can.
Expel several breaths rapidly to clear the lungs.
Drink More Water
Take Vitamins
Supplements are a necessity since soil has been stripped of nutrients due to a lack of crop rotation, pesticides, and over farming.
Foods do not contain nearly enough nutrients to supply our bodies with what we need in our stress-paced world.
FDA recommendations are for basal metabolism not an active person.
Centrum multivitamins and similar products are simply not strong enough. You pay for what you get. Buy the best (pharmaceutical grade) you can. Avoid binders and fillers.
Supplements feed the immune system. This is the body's one true line of defense against illness (especially heart disease and cancer).
Vitamin toxicity is overemphasized as a scare tactic by the FDA and AMA. You could not consume enough vitamins to do anything but make yourself healthy.
The worse case scenario is that you loose excess nutrients through the kidneys.
Which would you choose-the cost of cancer treatment or the cost of excess health?
Exercise Regularly
Cross-training (biking, running, swimming) is beneficial for working a variety of muscle groups and keeping your attitude fresh.
Work out for at least 20 minutes 3 times a week.
If you are not breaking a sweat, you are not working out hard enough.
Spend the money on a good pair of shoes-avoid a trip to the doctor for joint pain (or replacement).
Take Herbal Extracts
During the cold and flu season, use liquid ecinacea with goldenseal (non- alcohol) to boost the immune system. Non-alcohol products are best if they can be found. It is very common to find the 2 extracts together in one solution. Both herbal extracts are natural anitbiotics that are not harmful to the body. They do not strip the immune system of its strength or destroy the intestinal flora. When you feel a scratchy throat coming on take a full dropper directly on the tongue or dissolve in a glass of water. In extreme cases take a dropper full every hour. Continue until you have taken the entire 2 oz. bottle (the most common size sold in health food stores.
