Great Health Practices

The seeds of our death are in the VERY food we eat.

1. The single BEST health practice of all
   — is to under eat carbohydrates and calories and over eat nutrients.
   
   The proof that under eating is the most valuable practice possible in life extension comes from numerous laboratory tests in which test animals were divided into several groups. Some test animals were allowed to eat all they wanted, while in other test groups the animals were limited in the amount of food they were provided. Life extension was observed to increase all the way down to groups that ate only 40% of the amount eaten by the unrestricted groups. In fact, at both 50% and 40% of the calories of an unrestricted diet, the life-span of the test animals was doubled over the unrestricted calorie group.
   
   The theory that was originally devised to explain these results is that when mitochondria are in a fasting mode, fewer free radicals are generated and so less “wear and tear” on the mitochondria occurs.
   
   Another theory that was conjectured was that periods of fasting allow the mitochondria to self-heal from previous free radical damage.
   
   Another theory is that under eating results in less body fat, which means less leptin production which turns on the longevity switch that normally turns off when one reaches reproductive age.
   
   Whichever of these theories are correct, or perhaps all are correct, the practice of under eating has two component disciplines:
• The first discipline is training yourself to desire less food. This is by and large a matter of understanding the benefits from eating less and choosing these benefits over the temporary pleasure of eating more food.
• The second discipline is training your brain buds to overrule your taste buds and to desire nutrient rich foods, instead of taste rich foods. People, for the most part, enjoy the foods that are eaten at parties. So, changing our party foods to emphasize nutrient dense foods is a step in the right direction.
   
2. The next most health beneficial practice we can implement is to regularly focus our attention on clearing the body of free radicals and other deleterious substances or microorganisms. This would include the Eight Day Cleanse every few months and a daily pratice of taking Cleansing Enzymes and Aloe Vera concentrate.
    

Successful people do what unsuccessful people won’t do!

The smart people of the 21st century will be those who live in good health to their last telomere. They, can thus “die young”, very late in life.

But, as with every success, there is a discipline to be followed. For instance, rich people invest their time and their money. Poor people don’t.

Healthy people choose the foods they eat. Unhealthy people do whatever they feel like doing and eat whatever they feel like eating.

By understanding the disciplines or practices that most surely yield health, you can choose the health practices or disciplines you will follow.
