Have a Healthy Body, Eat Right and Live Longer

It is near impossible to eat the required daily amounts of necessary vitamins, minerals and all that our bodies require for optimal performance in any one given day. Optimal performance means waking up in the morning fuelled with ample energy to take on every day with clear thoughts for managing our challenges effectively. A strong musculoskeletal system for good posture and circulation, as well as a clear communication system between the body and the mind.

We would need boxes of fresh fruit and vegetables picked fresh from our own backyard gardens on a daily basis. We would have had to start this diet plan when we were very young to avoid any free radical damage that happens over time as we are exposed to the elements of too much smog, too much smoke, too much chemical from cleaners, air fresheners, second hand smoke, dirty engines, paints, solvents, nail polish, preservatives and the list can go on. As the body is exposed, the damage starts and in most cases the problem begins very small inside the body and then by the time we feel or see the symptoms, the problem has grown to a point that the body itself can not heal on its own and requires support for the healing system to function and repair the damage. The human body is an amazing biological operating system. It will continue to function to the best of its ability, taking whatever resources that it needs from anywhere in the body and this results in system problems and difficulty targeting the cause, because ultimately if we do not give our body the tools it needs to operate in its ideal form, it will eventually begin to break down. There is no alternative. The cells in a human body are always regenerating or degenerating. It is imperative that we give our body the nutrition it needs, not only for maintaining a healthy body but also for growth and development of healthy new cells. The cells are the building blocks for the whole body. Healthy cells make healthy organs and from that we get healthy systems and ultimately an entire healthy body. We will not have a healthy body without healthy cells and we will not get healthy cells unless we are feeding our body with healthy cell food. Not food that is too sweet, or too salty, or too greasy, or too patsy, or too big.

Is Health at Any Size Possible?

In this newsletter edition, I will attempt to challenge your view of fat as being equal to unhealthy.

It wasn't until recently that I realized that all the information I had been fed about weight research was only one side of the coin. I didn't even recognize that the coin fell on the side of the diet industry. I ate all that I was fed and only felt bad about myself when I wasn't their "ideal weight".

No longer; I now see the other side of the coin. To start to reveal the other side of the coin, I will allow the words of Katherine Flegal to help me (thus, I will not be the only one preaching here):

Katherine M. Flegal, PhD, Senior Research Scientist at the National Center for Health Statistics, CDC, explains, "Although people think there's all this evidence out there showing a high mortality risk associated with (being) overweight, in fact the literature doesn't show it." Far from it. Flegal's research, analyzing 30 years of actual deaths in the US, corrected an earlier CDC report that indicated severe risks related to (being) overweight. She showed instead that being clinically 'overweight' is associated with a lower death rate than so-called 'normal' or 'healthy' weight. (JAMA 2005;293:1861-1867). It confirmed much earlier research that had been studiously ignored.

Further, I would like to point out that research telling us to lose weight isn't even working! Instead, the more we diet, the more we become more and more obsessed with food, our bodies and our failures. So, even if you do believe that being fat is unhealthy, is dieting really working for you?

Key to Optimal Health

Optimal health means more than the absence of pain, sickness and disease. As important as it is to be physical healthy it is equally important to be mentally, emotionally and spiritually healthy as well. Optimal health, therefore, in context of what is being written here, is a balance of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects of health. Let us take a look at each of these aspects, beginning with physical health.

Physical Health

So much has been written about the subject of physical health in the categories of health and wellness, diet and weight loss, fitness and bodybuilding etc. In this article I will primarily deal with physical health in its internal aspect which includes building a healthy immune system, detoxifying the body, healthy and quick elimination, and nourishing the cells with proper nutrition. Aging itself can be slowed down by keeping the internal aspect of our physical health up to par. Wouldn't you love to have a healthy, youthful, energetic, strong, lean body which is free of disease, sickness and pain well into adulthood beyond the age of 40? It all narrows down to what type of food we put into our bodies - either food filled with toxins and poisons, or healthy, living, vital food.

Mark and Patti Virkler, in their inspiring book "Eden's Health Plan - Go Natural" write:

"Food is intended to furnish the body with all the live elements needed for the regeneration of its cells and tissues. If the body fails to be healthy, the lack or deficiency of regenerative elements in the food is the cause of, and the responsibility for, whatever ailment, sickness or disease overtakes it. Our bodies seek homeostasis, equilibrium, balance. This equals health. When given the right building blocks to work with, the body maintains itself in health."

Creativity Improves Health As You Age

Wonder if your body and your spirits will hold up as you're aging? New research shows that expressing yourself through the arts can improve your physical and mental health in your older years.

That's not totally surprising, of course. Anyone who participates in dance and theater activities or who is creative with their hands or their pen knows how good the arts are for the spirits. But good for the immune system? Good for reducing falls, medications, and even doctor visits? These are some of the study results that surprised even researcher Gene Cohen, MD, PhD, of George Washington University. Cohen, author of The Creative Age: Awakening Human Potential in the Second Half of Life told a conference of the Minnesota Creative Arts and Aging Network in March that participation in the arts has "powerful, positive effects in the areas of health promotion and disease prevention." It "reduces the risk factors for health decline."

Are you expressing yourself creatively? If not, consider giving your health and your spirits a boost through taking part in the visual or performing arts.

You may think, "But I'm not an artist" or "I'm not a dancer." But neither were the 150 people in Cohen's study when they started out (and their average age was 80!). The same is true of many of the people who attend arts-based programs I lead. Yet, they come to savor the creative spark they find inside themselves, regardless of age or past skills.

Detoxification is the Best Way to Good Health

Ever since I went through the ordeal of almost going for the "last ride" sometime in 2003, I have always been very conscious about my health and out of all the things that I've undergone, what really helped me was body detoxification.

Today, there are many forms of detoxification from food supplements, surgical procedures and in the form of juice drinks and other what-have-you-got. But out of all those products, what has really changed my life for the better is Ganoderma Lucidum, a rare red mushroom that has the ability to detoxify your body and at the same time, balance it according to your normal range.

I once weighed a whooping 220 lbs. and in the summer of 2003, after a drinking binge and and a non-stop eating spree, my blood pressure shoot up to 200/140! I instantly experienced a "minor" minor stroke for I was still able to walk straight to a hospital directly to the emergency room accompanied by friends and business associates.

After being diagnosed with hypertension, my doctor told me that I need to do something about my problem. Thinking back about what has transpired and thinking about my family especially my 2 kids who were both 6 years old and 4 years old at that time, I decided that I should do what I must do.

Body Detoxification Will Lead You to a Healthy Life

Body detoxification is nothing new, but it has only recently entered into the Western health and beauty community's collective zeitgeist. It is controversial, to say the least, with as many snake oil salesmen and skeptics clashing and warring as any new health or beauty trend. However, detoxification is nothing new, and there is much legitimacy behind it, if one knows where to look and what to filter out. Detoxification is not a miracle cure for every ailment that one will encounter throughout their life-in fact, it is rarely a cure at all. Detoxification is, however, a preventative treatment that contributes to health preservation before health can be lost to begin with.

Body detoxification takes many different forms. Some 'cleanse' diets focus on detoxification; these are perhaps the most well-known and infamous for the health risks that surround them. To understand what body detoxification is, one must first understand what it is not:

1.) Body detoxification is not a miracle cure. 'Toxins' are not the cause of every ailment in the body's repertoire of glitches, and getting rid of them will not add 70 years to your lifespan.

2.) Body detoxification should never be dangerous. Crash dieting, starvation and liquid diets should never play a role.


3.) Body detoxification is not new, nor unique, nor magical.
