Back to Basics

Back in the day our ancestors lived in a time where there were no fast food restaurants, easy & quick boxed meals, and engineered foods that could withstand a nuclear bomb. They also didn't know what the words OBESITY and HEART DISEASE meant.
A few simple changes in good nutrition and a healthier lifestyle can do wonders for your health both now and in the future. Here are some suggestions:
*Drink 8 oz of pure Filtered water every hour you are awake. This will hydrate your body in every aspect from your skin to your organs, your joints and your spine. Water also aids in flushing out toxins and reduces dehydration headaches.
*Avoid Processed foods (These are foods that didn't come from the earth or from a mother.) Avoid products containing key words such as ENRICHED, HYDROGENATED, and PARTIALLY-ENRICHED.
*Go Organic when possible. Eat Plenty of RAW fruits, veggies, and other whole foods such as nuts, beans, seeds, grains, sprouts, and dried fruit. It is believed that heating foods to above 116F destroys their own natural enzymes that help with the digestion and absorption of those foods. This is also believed to be true with MILK, especially those that are lactose intolerant.
*Avoid the use of microwaves, though they are VERY convienient they destroy all or most of the nutrients in our food. Reheat on the stove or in an oven when possible.
*Eliminate UN-natural sugars from your diet: high fructose corn syrup, artificial sweeteners (aspartame), refined sugars, and Caffeine.
*Find a stress relieving Modality that works for You: Yoga, meditation, gentle walks, massage, shiatsu, tai chi, etc.
