Basic Health Guidelines

Here are some guidelines to help keep you healthy and detoxified.

1.  Most Important - drink water daily.  Divide your weight by 2 and drink at least that amount in ounces daily.  Make sure that it is from a pure source.  Never drink tap water.  Reverse osmosis is the purest form.  Minimize liquids at meals; drink your water between meals.

2.  Use a shower de-chlorinator and chlorine free dishwasher detergent to minimize your exposure to chlorine.  You will also want to limit your exposure to bromine.  This is in white bread, hot tubs and pools, along with some beverages. 

3.  Consume only organic fruits and vegetables and purchase them in quantities for quick consumption. Remember, fresh is best.  Avoid peeling vegetables as the skin contains a lot of the nutrients.  Try to eat your fruits and vegetables as near the natural state as possible.  Cooking destroys nutrients. 

4.  Eat portions of mixed green salads and raw vegetables every day.

5.  Eat fresh fruits in season.  Try to stay with "what grows in your own backyard".  Apples, plums, and pears are always good choices.   Red apples are easier on the digestion. 

6.  Eat whole grains.  Try quinoa, spelt, millet, and brown rice. 

7.  If you choose to drink milk, drink only organic milk. 

8.  Eat organic butter and healthy fats from olive oil, coconut oil, and avocados.

9.  Eat only organic meats and free range eggs.  Avoid GMO foods. 

10.  Instead of reaching for a soda or a cup of coffee, drink herb teas and use stevia or some raw honey as a sweetener. 

11.  Avoid all artificial sweeteners.  They are poison. 

12.  Bounce on a mini-trampoline for at least four or five minutes a day.  This stimulates the movement of lymphatic fluids, which will help keep your body detoxed.

13.  Get rid of the table salt.  Celtic sea salt and Himalayan crystal salt are nourishing to the body instead of being toxic. 

14.  No high fructose corn syrup.  This causes a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.  Not to mention that it is made from GMO corn. 

15.  Read labels.  You would be surprised what is in your food when you start reading the labels. 

16.  You should be eating enough fiber rich foods that you have a bowel movement at least 2-3 times a day.  If this is not you, you might want to consider a colon cleanse.   

17.  Each week pick one processed food and remove it from your diet.  Replace it with a healthy food and before you know it, you will be eating a healthy diet.      

Stay Strong!
