Holiday Eating Problems

Well it is only the 29th and I am ready for the holidays to be over. The activity and time spent with others is not the problem. My problem is my eating habits change at this time of year. It's the several undisciplined feeding frenzies that have created my current discomfort. There has been too much meat and potatoes, sugar and spice, and not enough fruit, vegetables, grains and legumes in my diet.

My solution, look in the mirror and say "Jay, get a hold of yourself. You are screwing up this healthy lifestyle stuff", and then begin again. That is the good thing about changing lifestyle habits. When you screw up, you can simply start again. I will get more exercise, eat healthy, and help others. It is not necessary to wait for New Year's Day. That will only prolong my agony and set the stage for more procrastination. I am changing my diet as of last night and I will get some running in tonight. I have kept up with my supplementation program and that will be enhanced by my proper diet and exercise.

Garbage In - Not Always Garbage Out

Wouldn't it be nice if the heavy metals and toxins we consume through the air we breath, the food we eat and the fluids we drink would as easily leave our bodies? The truth is that they don't. Not only do they stay in but they do tremendous damage while they are in there. Cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and many other common and uncommon health problems can and usually are the result of toxic burden in the body.

There is a solution!!

Activated zeolite is a naturally occurring mineral that is processed to provide a source for high quality oral chelation therapy. This is a simple nutritional supplement that can safely be taken by anyone of any age and cannot be overdosed. Activated zeolite does not prevent, diagnose, treat or cure any disease, but can aid in recovery by eliminating the heavy metals and toxins that created the toxic burden.

My daughter, that is a breast cancer survivor, had several weeks of intense radiation therapy and never had any of the fatigue that is generally associated with this treatment. She had some radiation burns like sun burns, but no other symptoms at all. While she was away to Mayo Clinic in Rochester, she stayed healthy, continued her college education through on-line courses and continued her regiment of daily intense exercise. She had no adverse physical reaction to chemotherapy other than loosing some hair, and her hair grew back while she was still undergoing the chemo. She has been cancer free non-recurrent for almost a year now and with the aid of the activated zeolite and other supplements she is taking, we believe that she will remain cancer free.

Exercise for Health

Exercise is a key component to a healthy lifestyle. There are some safety factors that should be adhered to when exercising. It is important to warm up first with a regiment of low impact aerobic exercise to warm up the muscles of your body. The warm up is the process of making your body work hard enough to increase your heart rate which in turn increases blood flow to the muscles of the body. After a sufficient warm up, it is then time to stretch the muscles of your body to prepare them for the workout session. I prefer a total body stretching routine rather than to stretch only the muscles you think you will be using in your workout. I train Tae Kwon Do and never know which muscle groups will get the most use in any given class as the training varies so greatly from class to class. To not follow the warm up and stretch routine is to invite muscle and connective tissue damage during the workout session. This applies to all ages of people not just adults.

Diet is Key Component to Health

There are many fad diets that have been developed over the years. Most of which were impossible to stay on and were only effective when they were being implemented. Many of them would turn out to actually cause health problems. I have never used a fad diet, and have never considered a special diet for weight loss. My diet is to use moderation in fats, sugars and meats; and concentrate more heavily on fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, and seeds, etc. There is still meat, fats and sugars in my diet, but to a far lesser extent than my past diet contained. My experience with moderation in these areas is that within 2 months, 15 pounds of useless unnecessary weight were removed. Within two more months another 10 pounds weight were gone. After that there has been small amounts of weight loss, but my health has been far better. My immune system is stronger with the less weight and better nutrition; my energy level has increased, and I feel younger and healthier.

These effects were realized with some very simple adjustments to my diet. I quit consuming soda pop and most sources of animal protein, and started eating plant based protein in greater portions. I am a hunter and was conflicted by the lack of meat eating, so I started innovating some of recipes. When sausage making time came this year, instead of adding fatty pork or beef trimmings to the venison, I added cooked pinto beans and brown rice. My wife and kids did not notice a lot of differences in taste and we enjoy a healthier meal. The texture and moisture content remain unchanged and the sausage can be pattied, or easily broken up for hot dishes, etc.

Is Diet Enough

In today's busy world, do we eat properly? Is the food we eat as healthy as it once was? How can we get all the necessary ingredients in the foods we eat?

The answer to these question have changed over the years. Most people do not eat properly in this microwave society. We all want what we want and want it now. Whether sedentary or active in lifestyle, most people do not take time to prepare healthy meals.

With the progressive farming practices that have cropped up over the last number of years, the soils have been depleted of many nutrients that plants would provide if the nutrients were available to them. Fertilizers do not replenish many of these soil based minerals that are also requirement for human nutrition. Plant based nutrition was the best and most convenient way to provide them. With the loss of these minerals in the soil, that is no longer the case.

Nutritional supplements are a necessity for healthy eating today. The consumption of mostly plant based nutrition is still a good diet plan, but supplementation is still necessary to provide all that is required to remain healthy.

First Step in Health Alternatives

As mankind stepped into the industrial age, we created a seemingly irreversible trend in disease that is associated with heavy metals and environmental toxins. The amount of toxins that are released every day in the world is staggering to imagine. Some everyday exposures that we face are the scotch guard in carpeting, and Teflon surfaces on cooking equipment. A recent study of infants umbilical cord blood indicated the presence of both of these dangerous toxins. Environmental toxins and heavy metals are linked with most diseases of today, some of which include auto-immune diseases like cancer, diabetes, HIV-Aids, certain digestive disorders, the list goes on indefinitely.

There is a simple solution to the heavy metal and environmental toxin problem, enter liquid zeolite. There is an all natural mineral that exists, that when purified and properly contained can exist in its natural negatively charged state. When small amounts of this liquid zeolite are taken by adding to food or liquids or placed directly onto the tongue, it acts on an inter-cellular basis to remove positively charged heavy metals and toxins from the body that are simply eliminated through the urinary tract. These zeolites can collect staggering amounts of positively charged material in a honeycomb like framework of cavities and channels that are simply dumped from the body. This zeolite is 100% natural and non-toxic. It helps balance pH levels and supports a healthy immune system as well.

My family has had dramatic results from this liquid zeolite product. Our 19 year old daughter was diagnosed with Invasive Ductile Carcinoma (breast cancer) last year. Besides the tradition treatments of surgery, chemo-therapy, hormone therapy and radiation, she took an aggressive dose of the liquid zeolite (60 drops a day) from diagnosis until declared cancer free. Some of the benefits she enjoyed as a result of the constant high level detoxification was a high energy level, she did not significantly change her lifestyle for treatments, except for taking the time out of her schedule for the treatments. She maintained her schedule of training and teaching as a 2nd degree blackbelt in Tae Kwon Do. The only side effect she had from chemo was the loss of some of her hair. She did not loose it all and it started to grow back before she was through all of her chemo regiment. She had one night of slight nausea during her entire regiment of chemo. Due to her age, her treatment plan was very aggressive. She took 3 on-line college classes while she was undergoing radiation treatment and never felt tired or run down and her recovery from the radiation burns was fast.

The liquid zeolite product is of benefit for healthy people as well. My entire immediate family enjoys the health benefits of having only a baseline of toxins in their body that are removed by the zeolite and replace by the atmosphere on a constant turnover. There is no illness, and faster recovery from injury from using the zeolite product.
