10 Tips for a LONGER LIFE and GREAT HEALTH - Back to the basics !

Copyright 2006 Gary Dunaway

In todays fast paced lifestyle, many of the basic foundations of good health have gone by the wayside. Take the time to remember the tried and true steps to great health and you'll live a longer, happier life.

1. Prevention is a lot better than a cure. Living a healthy lifestyle is a lot easier than trying to get over any kind of disease.

2. Balanced living is important. Not all work, not all play. Not too much stress. Some meaningful relationships, but also meaningful time alone with God. Some service to doing good and helping others, but not so much as to consume all your quality time with God, your family and your friends.

3. Eating habits. Lots of fruits & veggies. Fiber and bowel cleansing are extremely important. Eat raw foods everyday. Raw foods are important as they add enzymes that assist in digestion. Several helpings of fruits and veggies daily will help your health.

4. Good bowel movement daily. Consume plenty of fiber and drink lots of water.

5. Watch your weight ! Raw fruits and vegetables are low in calories and aid digestion. Do not eat a lot of refined carbohydrates, such as sugar, white bread, white spaghetti, instant rice, crackers, etc. Obesity in this country is rampant, leading to an epidemic in Diabetes.

6. Get adequate exercise. Simply taking a daily walk burns calories and aids in digestion and elimination.

7. Refresh your body with sleep. 8 hours for most people. Sleep without distractions and have complete darkness if possible.

8. REMOVE THOSE TOXINS !. We are exposed to many toxins throughout our lives. Exhaust fumes, cleaning supplies, mercury, lead, aluminum, parasites, etc. Fortunately, our bodies do get rid of most toxins. However, we don't throw off all toxins, and over the years, toxins will build up. It is important to eliminate toxins since a build-up of them can contribute to a host of diseases.

9. Take good quality vitamin and mineral supplements. Generally, we don't get everything we need from foods. High quality supplements can help in preventing illness and disease.

10. Have a benefits plan in times of need. Todays Health Care in America is in total chaos. Corporations and employers are claiming extreme Medical, Dental, Prescription, and Vision costs are driving them toward bankruptcy. Healthcare is changing toward consumer driven benefits plans. There are plans available to keep you from personally ending up in financial straits.

The Top 10 Tips to Permanent Weight Loss, Health, and Fitness. Tip #8

Tip # 8: Don't Kiss and Tell

One word of advice: no matter how tempted you are, and you will be tempted, don't tell anyone else about your new way of eating.

It's going to be hard not to share, but keep your teeth firmly planted on your tongue and just wait a few minutes-hold on, hold on, hold on, the urge will pass. I promise.

The only exceptions are the people who share your living quarters and maybe the one or two individuals who have proven, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that he or she supports you one hundred per cent (warning: that person will be very rare!).

Even the most well-intended family members and friends will consciously or unconsciously sabotage your efforts. Your change will make them feel uncomfortable, which makes them rationalize their own bad habits. They will question you until you start doubting your own common sense and commitment to replace your unhealthy food habits with healthy ones.

When someone notices that you are eating differently and asks you the inevitable question, "Why are you eating like this?" simply say: "Because it works for me." Then drop the subject.

When you know that something is right for you, no matter how anyone else feels and reacts around you, you don't need anyone's approval or support.

Someone else's opinion of you is none of your business!

The truth is the truth, and you are aligning your life with that truth.

Just as important, don't preach to other people. It's difficult enough to change yourself, much less try to change others; especially those closest to you.

The only chance you have of changing another person is by example; or if you are the sole cook in the family and your partner puts no more effort into the food than putting it into his (okay, or her) mouth and chewing.

The Top 10 Tips to Permanent Weight Loss, Health, and Fitness. Tip #7

Tip #7: Tricky Tactics

Pre-plan little tricks that will greatly assist you in gradually breaking old eating habits and replacing them with healthier habits:

. Only eat treats and "taboo" foods out! Do not bring these foods into your house.

. Instead of trying to change all bad food habits at once, try changing one or two habits at a time. For example, you could select only one or two changes from the list below:

1. Eat fruit only until noon and a large salad for lunch, and don't change your dinners at first.
2. Eat meat only on the weekends or just 3x a week instead of every day.
3. Drink homemade fruit and vegetable juices instead of pop or sugary drinks.
4. Eliminate all trips to fast food restaurants.
5. Eliminate all fried foods.
6. Eliminate all white flour/white sugar products.
7. Eliminate cheese, milk, and yogurt but continue to eat small portions of meat.
8. Eliminate meat, but continue to eat cheese.
9. Eat whatever you want when you go out (no more than once a week), but eat well when you are home.

. Eat whatever you want on special occasions: Christmas, Thanksgiving, and birthdays.

As Dr. John McDougall says, just don't feast three times a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year like most Americans.

Create your own individualized self-defense tricks that will help you succeed in creating a healthier food plan for life.

The of 10 Top Tips to Permanent Weight Loss, Health and Fitness Tip #1

Fill Up On Premium

By Dr. Leslie Van Romer

The most important tip of the "Top 10 Tips" is to always fill up on the best-for-you-foods first; then you can eat other foods.

The moment you decide to make some changes in your diet in order to lose weight and/or gain health and fitness, the very first thought that probably pops into your head is: "What am I going to have to give up?" You can't help but moan.

Instead of thinking about what foods you "have to" sacrifice, focus on what foods you "get to" add to both fill you up and satisfy you.

You "get to" add at least 10 fresh fruits to your day. Does this sound like a lot of fruit? If you would consider eating fruit only throughout the morning, enough to satisfy you and fill you up, you may surprise yourself and eat as many as 10 fruits by noon.

Even if you can eat only 5 fruits until noon, by eating fruit for snacks, you can easily eat 10 fruits by the end of the day.

You also "get to" add 10 vegetables to your daily food plan. This is even easier than eating 10 fruits in a day. Most of the time, your lunch should include a large, green-leafy salad with 10 different vegetables. Just with this one salad, you have already eaten at least 10 vegetables and at least half of the fruits by noon, and dinner is yet to come.

For dinner follow the one rule: fill up on salad and other vegetables before eating other foods. If you eat enough vegetables to fill you up, you may naturally gravitate away from those foods that are void of nutrition and fiber, and full of fat, cholesterol, and animal protein.

Simple addition: 10+10 premium foods by the end of the day, plus whole grains and beans, equals better chances for better health today and for the rest of your days.
