Staying Healthy: What Can I Do?


There are a number of things we can do to stay healthy. Here's what I call the big 4:

  1. Eating right - try to eat on the more natural side. One big tip is that if you pick up something at the store and the ingredient list literally wraps around the whole package that's not a good sign. The less presservatives, fillers, and junk the better. Drink lots of water and supplement as well.

  2. Get adequate rest - Make you bedroom as sleep conducive as possible, avoid eating and drinking soon before bed, and use the traction neck pillow. Everyone is a little different but most of us need somewhere around seven hours.

  3. Exercise - this is also important, exercise gets you to sweat, it gets blood flowing, and it forces you to breathe more. Remember oxygen is fuel to our brain. It also forces you to use muscles, and I find we tend to stretch more and take care of our self more.

  4. Be aware of stress - this eats away at us mentally and eventually physically too. Also, stress isn't just mental. By doing the other three things I noted you can avoid physical stressors too. For example not drinking enough water can basically stress body tissue and organs.

Do your best to have and do the above list because if one of these items is missing your health will suffer.

Gut Health And Its Involvement In Total Body Health!

My friend contacted me again a week later. Good news, he's feeling much better with his dizziness and stomach problems. So what made the the difference? Unbelievably he told me he sat down to watch television with his wife. She had recorded Oprah and wanted to watch it. That particular episode had one of her frequent guests - Dr Oz - who had been talking about the gut and the intestinal track.

From watching the episode he realized he wasn't getting really any fiber in his diet which was why he was "impacted". literally from eating more raw vegetables, taking extra fiber and taking a probiotic supplement, in just 1 week he has started going to the bathroom more regularly, has felt less dizziness, and has felt better overall.
