Crucial health agents

1. Aging = Oxidation & Oxidation = Aging. Our body works like an energy factory and if we don’t help it to release its smoke, the toxins will build up. Water, sweat, antioxidants from fruits and vegetables, and our waste elimination system is like a smokestack that helps us cleanse these toxins that cause aging and disease. 

2. Slowing metabolism, muscle, skeletal and cardiovascular weaknesses, often has more to do with muscle loss (atrophy) than with aging. The main cause of this is inactivity and diet. 

3. Intermittent Fasting (IF). Skipping food for 18-24 hours will trick the body into switching over to burning fat as an energy source instead of sugar.  

4. Your health & fitness goals are about 75% dependent on what you eat and drink!

5. Eat local grown food when you can, these are the best sources of nutrients to live in your environment.

 6. You are never too old for exercise and fitness:when we strengthen muscles, tendons, ligaments and bones, we increase capability for easy movement and mobility thus increasing the economy of movement as we get older which in turn increases quality of life.

7. The medical field should be looked to for intervention, not prevention.

8. Oxygen is the most important ingredient for life, so why breathe filthy oxygen (such as cigarette smoke) into our lungs, lining them with soot? Water is 2nd in line, we need it for hydration and to flush toxic waste out of our cells and bodies, so drink it without sugars, carbonation, and chemicals! Food is 3rd on the list, we are what we eat so give your body good building material to work with!

9. Obesity is the one thing most all-chronic diseases have in common. 

10. The Food Cocaine’s of the American diet “Salt & Sugar” have distorted the shape and health of America. Preparing your food puts you back in control of this! 

11. Keeping our body more alkaline and less acidic will make our body less friendly to disease!

12. A healthy immune system is strengthened by exposure. 

13. Chronic disease is simply the manifestation of inflammation. 

14. If you eat a heavy meal, go lite the next 2 meals or skip one. 

15. You do not have to have a gym or gym equipment to exercise; rapid bodyweight movement done for extended periods can increase strength and endurance. 

16. Caffeine and Sugar are a really bad combination when consumed at the same time. The caffeine attaches to our cells receptors temporarily blocking sugar from entering the cells, thus blocking it in the blood causing blood sugar problems.

17. Eat foods rich in soluble fiber to lower cholesterol and to slow sugar absorption from digesting food into your bloodstream. Eating foods rich in insoluble fiber helps us recognize when we have consumed enough food.

18. The brain is the control center of the body, when this is no longer healthy or stops working, we start shutting down, mental and physical activity is our prevention medicine. 

19. In 90-120 days our blood supply is replaced by a new blood supply – in approximately 6 months our soft tissue is replaced by new tissue – and in approximately a 12-month period everything all the way down to our bone and tooth enamel is replaced by a new cell generation. Though it’s a mutation from the prior generation of cells, we have the opportunity to make the next year’s generation of cells healthier simply by sticking to the few basic healthy habits and by doing them with consistency: 

1. Clean Air

2. Plenty Water

3. Balanced Diet

4. Deep Rest 

5. Stay Active 

6. Sunshine

7. Get rid of your stress daily. 

Your body is designed to be a survival machine with an internal doctor that works 24-7-365 so whatever our starting point is, let’s give it the tools it needs to do its job!
