What is real health and how do we get there? Getting down to your goal 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 #1: Be Your Own Doctor: Get a Second Opinion – Yours. Three critical facts about doctors today. First, they have little or no training in nutrition or how to prevent or cure disease. Second, they treat your symptoms, not the cause, and third, statistics show that 94% of them are paid to prescribe medication. 3 good reasons for a second opinion.
Super Health Tip #2: Balance is key. A stool has 3 legs: just one or two and you fall off. What you eat determines 70% of your health. The exercise determines the 20%: do something. Your health environment, both internally, your way of thinking and feeling, and externally, your social network, is 10%.
Super health tip #3: Discover super foods. Whole foods provide better nutrition, more energy, and build a stronger immune system. Eat whole grains and seeds in cereals and breads, and wheat germ, bran, and brewer’s yeast. Eat fruits and vegetables and drink green smoothies, smoothies with 2-3 green vegetables added. I have my green smoothie recipe on my site.
Super health tip #4: Invest in yourself. Get informed, spend thousands on your home and cars. Invest in your body, to get the best results throughout your life. Take nutrition courses, read some health books. Learn what builds health and what causes degenerative diseases (hint: it’s what you eat). Read The China Study to revolutionize your life.
Super health tip #5: Discipline yourself – no one else can. Become a closet health nut year after year. Don’t broadcast it, live it. Many people care more about their cars than their bodies, and spend more time planning their vacations than taking care of the temple they live in. Do not be one of them. Incorporate what you learn into your lifestyle.
Super Health Tip #6: Health is a journey. Your body is miraculously resilient. You can recover from obesity, alcoholism, drug addiction, and abuse of your body. Your health is always determined by what you do in the last 3 months of your life. Get engaged and get healthier, and live into your 80s and 90s, and even 100 with joy, enthusiasm, and overflowing energy.
Super health tip #7 – Become 95% vegetarian. The evidence is now conclusive. Fat, cholesterol, triglycerides, and carcinogenic proteins in meat and dairy products clog us up, 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, grease, salt, and sugar. The sensational Eating DVD documents it all.
