Great Health Practices

The seeds of our death are in the VERY food we eat.

1. The single BEST health practice of all
   — is to eat nutrient dense foods while undereating calories.
   
   The proof that under eating calories is the most valuable practice possible in life extension comes from numerous laboratory tests in which test animals were divided into several groups. Some test animals were allowed to eat all they wanted, while in other test groups the animals were limited in the amount of food they were provided. Life extension was observed to increase all the way down to groups that ate only 40% of the amount eaten by the unrestricted groups. In fact, at both 50% and 40% of the calories of an unrestricted diet, the life-span of the test animals was doubled over the unrestricted calorie group.
   
   Three theories currently try to explain the increase in logevity that results from eating less calories.
   
   

   The theory that was originally devised to explain these results is that when mitochondria are in a fasting mode, fewer free radicals are generated and so less “wear and tear” on the mitochondria occurs.   Another theory that was conjectured was that periods of fasting allow the mitochondria to self-heal from previous free radical damage.   Another theory is that under eating results in less body fat, which means less leptin production which turns on the longevity switch that normally turns off when one reaches reproductive age.

   
   The practice of under eating has one essential discipline:

Training your brain buds to overrule your taste buds.

Our food preferences are learned. Whether one enjoys hot dogs, kimchi, curry, pie and ice-cream, etc. is a matter of what one associates with good times.

People, for the most part, enjoy the foods that are eaten at parties and social gatherings. So, changing our party foods to emphasize nutrient dense foods is a step in the right direction.
 

2. The next most health beneficial practice we can implement is to regularly focus our attention on clearing the body of free radicals and other deleterious substances or microorganisms. This would include the Eight Day Cleanse every few months and a daily pratice of taking Cleansing Enzymes and Aloe Vera concentrate.
    

Successful people do what unsuccessful people won’t do!

The smart people of the 21st century will be those who live in good health to their last telomere. They, can thus “die young”, very late in life.

But, as with every success, there is a discipline to be followed. For instance, rich people invest their time and their money by foregoing spending their time and money on “things”. Poor people accumulate stuff, instead of investments.

Healthy people choose to eat healthy foods and exercise their bodies. Unhealthy people do/eat what they feel like doing/eating without override their feelings with their brain.

By understanding the disciplines or practices that most surely yield health, you can choose the health practices or disciplines you will follow.
