Live Long Naturally

My latest client just expelled what he referred to as a “ramen noodle on steroids and enough gallstones to make 2 pearl necklaces.” This was his first cleanse ever! I don’t always recommend a liver cleanse as a first cleanse ever, however… I was able to coach him before, during, and after the cleanse. Aside from things living in him, he stated his eyesight had already improved with that one cleanse. Cleansing has also made eating healthy easier for him.

A few of the hundreds of functions your liver is responsible for include:

• Production of red blood cells and protein
• Excretion of bile for digestion
• Circulation
• Improving digestion
• Protecting and detoxifying your blood
• Help in balancing the fat and cholesterol in blood
• Regulating hormones

If you are serious about slowing and reversing the aging process and you want to get rid of any excess weight once and for all, your liver must be cleaned. PRACTICE PREVENTION!

Disease doesn’t just happen overnight. Heart disease, cancers – most all diseases – develop months, even years after your liver failed to keep your blood clean. Dr. Richard Schulze~~ Owner of the American Botanical Pharmacy

with their teeth and it’s not entirely their fault!

A study in the New England Journal of Medicine has found obese children to be twice as likely to die from disease before the age of 55. The study was done on 5,000 American Indian children. It shows a correlation between childhood obesity and early death. The color of skin shouldn’t matter. Obesity is obesity is OBESITY! It is not healthy for anyone at any age.

Parents must take control of their child’s demanding taste buds. It is easier than you think. I’ve been there and done it. Children love structure – they will begin to crave what nature intended. It is easier to look into your child’s eyes now and say no to junk food, than to look into to their eyes in the hospital or on their death bed.

Making meals from scratch will insure it is organic, not processed, loaded with nutrients, and lots of love.

CHEERS and the best of health to you and your family!

In looking to research 2 popular and 1 not-s0-popular diets, I came across many such as: the Hallelujah Diet, Shangri-La, and even a French Women Don’t Get Fat diet (among many others). I was pleasantly surprised to come across one that I would actually recommend to someone in need of structure and accountability.

Personally I don’t believe someone should need to pay someone on a weekly or monthly basis to tell him/her to eat better (and less). Weight should never be an issue! A foolproof way to accomplish that is to eat healthy most hours of the day and days of the week. What constitutes healthy? Food without labels! It as simple as that!

The not-so-popular, but highly effective diet that encourages this type of eating is the Pritikin Diet. It has been referred to as the Recession Diet.  Most of the foods can be purchased in bulk, thereby saving you money! Why pay for packaging? The foods on this diet include:

• Fruits and vegetables
• Whole grains, beans and peas
• Starchy vegetables like potatoes and yam
• Nonfat dairy (or soy) and fish

It is based on 30 years of scientific research, it includes exercise and stress management, and… UCLA Scientists have published over 100 clinical studies in various medical journals including New England Journal of Medicine. Benefits include:

• Long-term weight loss
• Reduction of all heart disease risk factors
• Lowered blood pressure and cholesterol
• Eliminating need for angioplasty and heart bypass surgery
• Control/reversal of Diabetes
• Reducing/eliminating pain and arthritis
• Elimination of many medications
• Reduced risks for breast, colon and  prostrate cancer

The benefit of living a longer naturally healthy life is priceless. For less than $20 (book), you can learn the Pritikin Principle, lower your grocery bill, and see the pounds and inches melt away without ever having to diet again.

isn’t it time you feed your body and not just your taste taste buds?

For those of you who don’t know what Kombucha is… it is a sparkling and invigorating fermented tea. It is highly beneficial – once brewed, the tea contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12, folic acid, antioxidants, enzymes, probiotics, polyphenols, and glucuronic acid (which helps detoxify the body and liver). It has been around for centuries, used by many to increase energy, aid in weight loss, improve well-being, and cure diseases.

There are “starter” batches sold in the range of $30, though… you don’t need it to start making your own. Simply get yourself a raw unflavored store brand and use that as a starter tea. The are many variations to the recipes and the supplies needed. I will say that quite often less is more. You don’t need fancy equipment or tea bags for that matter.

One last key to making your own flawless batches are to keep your hands and all supplies/ingredients clean at all times.

Eat slowly, chew thoroughly, and stop before feeling “stuffed.” Wait 15 minutes before going back for 2nds. Before any meal and throughout the day, drink plenty of water between meals – a half hour before or after helps you eat less, weigh less and helps keep you full longer.

It’s not what we do on the holidays or special occasions that make or break our health – it is what we do most hours of the day and days of the week. 

CHEERS & BON APPETIT… just remember to savor the taste to lessen thy waist.
