PLASTIC WRAPPING FOR FOOD DO NOT keep the plastic film with your food when heating or microwaving. The chemicals interact with heat and moisture. Plastic film used to wrap cold foods is not sustainable. It is a petroleum product, cannot be recycled and does not break down in the landfill.

MERCURY If mercury (neurotoxin) toxicity is high due to exposure to metal amalgams (metal dental filling), many vaccinations w/thimerasol, or too much fish consumption, consider checking mercury levels. If high, research and consult re using Chlorella as a detoxing agent. It binds with mercury.

HEALTHY HOME ENVIRONMENT Good living environment includes air breathed inside the home. Studiously read labels on home products to learn potential risk of exposure to deadly toxins. Eliminate or isolate dangerous ones. Also invest in a quality HEPA air filter. Use an outside air quality app too.

PACKAGING Overpackaged foods and other products end up as 28% of landfill trash. This cost the consumer twice. Try to buy products with reusable or minimal packaging. Helps to bring your own containers and bags when shopping. Saving the environment is a savings for your food and fuel budgets.

REMOVING TOXINS Detoxification, removal of toxins and heavy metals from body tissues for disposal, can be done with exercise, sweating and saunas through the skin. Chlorella, wheatgrass, barley grass and many green drinks are also natural methods when suspecting toxic overload is causing problems.

ARTIFICIAL SWEETENER If “need” a sugar substitute then go with stevia or xylitol for best health. Aspartame metabolizes into the neurotoxin methanol which causes damage to nerve and brain cells. Studies show a correlation between it and brain cancer. GOOD ORGANIC FOODS TO LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!

GOT SOY? Recent studies tell us that to get the health benefits that other cultures have shown us soy has to be organic (not GMO) and fermented. Eighty-six (86) soy products that are not organic or fermented and all processed and junk foods. REAL ORGANIC FOODS SO YOU CAN LIVE LONG AND PROSPER!

FOOD AS MEDICINE Many report that increasing the level of nutrients in their diet is helping with their illnesses. These include anxiety, depression, ADD, ADHD, autism and dementia. What do you have to lose changing to a diet of fresh organic fruits and vegetables, fish, nuts, and very lean meets?

EXERCISE AND INJURY If non-injury joint pain is problematic, routine exercise is needed to stop joint deterioration, limited movement, pain and weight gain. Try to exercise gently with professional guidance to build strength in the weak area (not injured). Remember that it’s CARDIO and RESISTANCE.

BOWELS Determining if high fiber diet will be good for you depends upon bowel health. Fiber is beneficial but only if the intestines are OK. If not then fiber can scratch and damage the intestinal wall. Monitor carefully with your primary healthcare provider especially if you experience problems.

SUPPLEMENTS CAN HELP The need for vitamins and minerals can increase because of environmental chemicals, chronic stress, a highly stressful event and a lack of proper sleep and rest. Consider taking a good brand of multivitamin and mineral supplement daily. A little help can go a long way.

B VITAMINS The body’s “good bacteria” can be maintained well with fermented foods, probiotics, and prebiotics (fruits and vegetables). The B vitamins are in many grain products and they are made by our bodies using “good bacteria”. Eat well and live long. Oh yes! Prosper too.

NATURAL MEDS Don’t underestimate value of healing herbs and spices. Can be taken with food, teas or supplements. Also, when present in creams and lotions, can be absorbed through the skin. Consider including in daily routine. Read and learn before making any type of commitment to using any of them

WHY ORGANIC Go organic to protect yourself from pollution AND for the nutrient value. Studies find that a majority have a deficiency. Many foods grown today have less nutrients than those 50 years ago because of soil depletion and non-sustainable farming methods. Simply stated, they ARE WORTH IT!

SPICE OF LIFE Many who need to eliminate or at least reduce sugar and salt talk of difficulty they have to make food interesting and tasty. Simple solution is to learn to use herbs and spices such as cinnamon, cloves, basil, thyme, oregano, pepper, garlic, ginger, mint, turmeric and others.

WHAT’S THE BEST REST TO DIGEST? Give the digestive system a break and do not eat within three hours of going to sleep. Calories consumed in the evening are prone to become fat and increase weight. Remember the time with the rhyme that the rest that is best to be is eating more than three.

HYDRATION When active in warm weather or decreasing caloric intake or detoxing, many in the health field believe 6-8 glasses (8 oz) of purified water is needed. Proper hydration is necessary for a healthy body, clear mind and stable emotions. Also helps to feel satiated and make good food choices.

SLEEP DEPRIVATION Similar to imbibing alcohol, studies show that sleep deprivation can slow reflexes, affect response times, impair judgment, cause poor decisions to be made and lead to bad food choices. If tired get some rest before deciding what you want to eat. Avoid wasted calorie intake.

IS IT NUTS? There are uncontrollable factors for dementia, BUT research indicates a healthy lifestyle of nutrient-rich diet, exercise and proper rest can lower risk and assist with cognitive functioning as we age. Among “brain foods”, nuts are highly recommended and neurologists lead with WALNUTS.

ACID REFLUX Digestion can be difficult for many with acid reflux. These folks actually have weak stomach acid, and problem is worse when using anti-acids and some prescription drugs. Look into research about adding digestive enzymes before meals for better nutrient absorption and less acid reflux.

L-lysine and HERPES SIMPLEX If you suffer from annoying and sometimes painful outbreaks of Herpes Simplex I and II, perhaps L–Lysine supplements can help to control or diminish those Herpes outbreaks. It is inexpensive and can be worth the try. (Also try to avoid L-arginine)

The brain exclusively runs on glycogen and ketone bodies as it's fuel source. It makes logical sense then that artificial sugars would cause issues in the brain. Sugars are not the problem, consuming too much of them at one time are.

NATURAL HEALING If you are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired then commit to lifestyle change of food, exercise and rest. PLUS learn patience and keeping a daily routine. Remedy is not a short term prescription drug. Years of abuse and neglect need time to clean and recreate a healthy being.

VITAMIN A, EH? FER SURE! As a fat soluble antioxidant, it’s needed for an effective immune system to fight viruses and infections and for better eyesight. Get carotenoids by eating carrots, spinach, bell peppers, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, and kale. Or consume vitamin A or beta carotene supplements.

STRESS AND VITAMIN C When you are very stressed due to illness or emotional upheaval, you will need a higher level of vitamin C for the immune system to function correctly. Think about eating more citrus fruits or taking a vitamin C supplement during prolonged times of increased stress.

OFTEN SICK? Some need more than medical consultation and prescriptions. Also need to work to make change and put body into homeostasis. Means possibly changing the way to live, eat and cope. Start with increasing sleep and rest, moderate exercise, natural sunlight, and more fruits and vegetables.

p.H STRIP TEST Bad bacteria and cancer do well in acidic environment. Use strips on saliva and urine b4 breakfast. Seek range 6.5-7.5. If out of range, perhaps less starchy carbs, meats, dairy, and sugar. Add organic fruits and vegetables. Moderate daily exercise helps maintain an alkaline system.

WEIGHT AND BODY FAT Avg fat %ages drift upward with age. Due to age-related muscle loss, however, standard body weight can be misleading. For 65+ yo, guidelines allow for slightly higher BMI (+\-27) before health risks increase. Location of fat (e.g. abdomen) is a more critical health indicator.

COUNTER PESSIMISM Make positive thinking a way of living. If overwhelmed with negative thoughts, resist by being grateful for the good in your life, or something positive about others, or a conscious effort to find and remember the good and beauty. Continual practice makes optimism a part of you.

STOP THE JUNK “I JUST CAN’T STOP DOING IT!“ YES YOU CAN! Two ways: 1) Replace a junk food a week w/ a healthy preferably organic food. In weeks or months, you will be healthier and feel better. OR 2) Do it quickly! Tough it out and go “cold tofu”. Eat fruits and vegetables only for 1 month.
