HEALTHY SUGGESTIONS FOR YOU!
May you benefit, LORD willing, from my suggestions below that concern diet, supplements and a few other tidbits of information.
But first, as you and I both know, there must forthwith be a clear and distinct statement:
The information I present on this webpage or any webpage linked therefrom is (are) not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Any suggested supplement noted or discussed herein will have the same or a similar disclosure as above on their label or packaging.
Now that that is out of the way,
The following suggestions arise from my own experience of which I do continue therein, being in what I sense to be decent health and vitality at my age in life. (This is not to say that I am completely free from stress nor minor occasional unhealthy meals or snacking).
My presentation is in 3 parts:
(A) Common Principles
(B) Things to Enjoy
(C) Things to Avoid
Each of these 3 parts contain a list beneath them with little or no explanation. Your homework is to extensively research each point on the internet or within books to prove that particular as applicable or helpful to you. As stated, I only post these as testimony of benefit in my own experience. Your experience may be different.
I am not responsible for any ill that might occur to you from proper or improper use of any of the following supplements. The principal warning (if any) are printed upon the supplement packaging themselves.
A number of the suggested supplements of themselves call for consultation by a medical professional before taking their products. Following through with their suggestions are your own responsibility. But know that there is strength in numbers and in statistical data that show the benefits of common usage (in proper dosage) of each particular supplement, herb, etc.
(A) COMMON PRINCIPLES
1) Do all things in moderation: There is health in variety and anything can be overdone. A moderate serving of healthy food and supplements can balance out (or even overcome) a reasonably moderate serving of unhealthy food. Yet, the dog who gets fed the most wins the fight. [In no way endorsing dog fights here]. John Boy doesn’t get his desert till he eats everything on his plate. And that plate should always include vegetables.
2) Make breakfast and lunch the larger meals. The evening meal should be light. No snaking 2 hours before bedtime. (An exception would be those who don’t have a gall bladder and must have something in the stomach to protect from the liver dumping bile. I recommend using Ox Bile, Apple Cider Vinegar and Lemon water for those who don’t have a gall bladder. Research these, of course.)
3) Get exercise, esp. if your work involves just plain sitting around: If you do sit around, get up every 15 or 30 minutes and walk around a bit. Get a mini trampoline and bounce for at least 5 minutes twice a day. 15 minutes of bouncing has amazing benefits. You don’t need to jump. Just bounce. You can even mimic jogging on it to increase your heart rate. The bouncing helps your body remove toxins. Research “trampoline detox.”
4) Get at least 7 to 8 hours sleep: The body needs to rest so that critical functions such as healing and liver detox can occur. So much happens while you sleep and much of that depends upon getting to bed early, and asleep at least by 11PM. You know how you feel if you stay up half the night and wake up late. You feel awful! Research “restful sleep” and follow through and your health will greatly improve.
5) Have a positive attitude: Seeing the glass as half-full instead of half-empty greatly improves your daily disposition and outlook on life in general. Don’t worry about tommorow. What did Jesus say?
Mat 6:25-34 “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? 26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? 27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: 29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.”
6) Pray and stay in God’s word: All of the above and below points means nothing if one is not atune to God. The only way to stay in tune is by hearing and reading God’s word and by spending time with our Father in prayer. Time on both of these must-have habits is time well spent.
(B) THINGS TO ENJOY – not listed in any particular order – and certainly not exhaustive as you can see
1) Fresh vegetables (esp. leafy green) (some may be listed below)
2) Fresh fruit (some may be listed below)
3) Both fresh and filtered water
4) Apple Cider Vinegar
5) Sweet potatoes more than White potatoes
6) Fermented foods like Sauerkraut. Ferment your own for greater benefits. [Research!]
7) Eggs (the whole egg – not just the whites)
8) Spouted or Steel-cut oats
9) Meat, white more than red (and of chicken: white more than dark)
10) Salmon, Tuna or Cod (not farm raised)
11) Avocado
12) Kale
13) Dark Chocolate (85% or greater)
14) Nuts and Seeds, esp. Almonds, Walnuts, Cashews, Chia, Flax and Pumpkin Seeds
15) Spices; esp. Cilantro, Sage, Basil and Ceylon Cinnamon (mentioned below).
16) Lemon water in the morning taken along with, Turmeric Curcumin, Ginger Root, Beet Root, and Cayenne Pepper. (Don’t mix them with the lemon juice. Just take them in capsule form with the lemon juice.) Not only are these greatly anti-inflammatory; the Cayenne boost the absorption of all the others by 300%. You can substitute a dash of black pepper for the cayenne. All the above are 1 serving size as suggested on their containers. (At times, take the NAC alone with 1 serving of fish oil [like Cod liver oil] or a half or 2 of walnut on an empty stomach, then 30 minutes later do the remaining above.)
17) Vitamin D3, Zinc, Elderberry, Vitamin-B Complex, Ester-C, Vitamin-E, Magnesium Breakthrough by BIOptimizers, Potassium Gluconate powder (so to vary needed dosage), Quercetin, Astaxanthin, NAC, Organic Spirulina, Chlorella (broken cell wall), Krill Oil, Ceylon Cinnamon, Himalayan Pink Salt (has many more minerals than Celtic Sea Salt), Neuro-Mag from Life Extension (gets Magnesium into the brain), MacuGuard from Life Extension (protects the eyes), Super K from Life Extension (gets calcium into the bones), Ashwagandha (great stress reducer), Grape Seed Extract, Hawthorn, Taurine (to help balance the electrolytes), IP-6 & Inositol and vitamin B-17. You may also include a multivitamin. [There is no need to take all of these every single day and there are some vitamins that I did not list. Research these too. You can spread them over a day or two or three. But some you will take every day, like the first 8 mentioned, esp. the first 6 and add in a multi-vitamin if you are not getting a decent diet. Neither do you take them all at the same time. Spread them out throughout the day. Most should be taken with a meal and taking them with fish oil and/or a dash of black pepper will increase their absorption. Cayenne Pepper greatly increases absorption, but not too much.] YOU MUST DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH on all of these. I take all of them over a span of several days. If you eat lots of foods rich in potassium you won’t need the extra potassium. [I don’t mention calcium here as needful, but if you are lacking calcium rich foods you might have to supplement. For instance, if you don’t drink milk. But if you do supplement with calcium you need to take it with Vitamin K-2. This gets the calcium into the bones and out of the blood. Also, Celtic Sea Salt is also good to use. But do prefer Himalayan Pink Salt.]
(B) THINGS TO AVOID – not listed in any particular order
1) Sugar and sodas
2) Too many starchy foods such as white potatoes and pasta.
3) High Fructose Corn Syrup
4) Vegetable oils
5) Hydrogenated Oils
6) Soy in any form. (The supermarket is profuse with Soy. Read the labels)
7) Preservatives and food coloring (It’s difficult to avoid all of them. The less the better)
8) Foods high in Sodium (foods preserved in salt can be rinsed)
9) Energy drinks
10) Fast processed foods
11) Ice-cream and other rich deserts (Such are OK in moderation. No desert with every meal)
12) Pizza (perhaps a slice a week is OK)
You get the idea, especially noting my last 2 points that emphasize moderation. Getting 2 or 3 great servings along with one not so great is about where most healthy people are at. It’s like climbing a ladder. Two steps up and one step back is not much progress, but yet it is progress. But imagine if you could do 8 steps forward and 1 step back. That would be excellent.
