Key # 10 - Eat the Right Kinds of HEALTHY MEAT

Did you know that there are healthy and unhealthy kinds of meat out there?

The UNHEALTHY OR HEALTH-DESTROYING MEATS include the following which you should purge from your diet and avoid at all costs:

Stop eating all PORK and pork products,

including ham, bacom, sausage, pepperoni, balogna, salami, etc.

Pork and pork products are the most unhealthy and dangerous "meats"

that you can possibly eat. In addition,

eating pork and pork products will make you fat and fatter.

If you're concerned about your health and want to lose weight,

please, stop eating this fattening and extremely unhealthy meat

which is loaded with toxins.

Stop eating all SHELLFISH ocean scavengers,

including shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, scallops, etc.

These have all been proven to be very unhealthy for your body

and carry all kinds of dangerous toxins in them.

Avoid all "FARM-RAISED FISH" which are also very unhealthy.

Stop eating all DELI LUNCHEON MEATS

which are loaded with sodium nitrates and many other kinds

of unhealthy toxins. These "meats" look nice in the package,

and may taste good, but they are highly processed with

dangerous toxic chemicals and are destructive to your health.

In addition, they're often loaded with MSG and other

excitotoxins.

OKAY, THEN WHAT KINDS OF MEAT ARE HEALTHY?

First, make the decision to stop buying and eating the unhealthy meats

mentioned above.

Then, start buying and eating the right kind of healthy meats.

These include the following:

1. Wild deep-water ocean fish that have scales and fins.

2. Organic natural-fed kosher lamb, beef, and poultry.

What's most important in choosing a healthy meat is

what the animals are fed and how they are raised.

You want animals raised on natural feed such as

grass-fed beef.

You want to avoid all meat that comes from animals that

were fed GMO corn and soy products,

that were given hormones and anti-biotics, etc.

ORGANIC natural-fed animals are the best and most

healthy way to go.

In addition, you'll be better able to lose weight

by eating these lean meats.

And always remember, the secret to losing weight and keeping it off, is to make nutritious and healthy LIFESTYLE CHANGES that become positive healthy habits in your daily routine. Systematic undereating and resisting the temptation to overeat is the first step to change.

Hippocrates' Advice - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy Feast on Organic Whole Food

YOUR FOOD WILL BE YOUR REMEDY

"Your Food Will Be Your Remedy," said Hippocrates, the great physician-teacher and father of medicine. In this profound maxim, Hippocrates described the secret to living a healthy lifestyle; namely, eating a live healthy organic whole food diet.

Natural, organic, whole food such as fresh fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and sprouts have remarkable nutritive compounds that give life to the human body and help cleanse, purify, and rebuild the body when it is weakened and struggling to overcome ailments. These live whole foods are loaded with thousands of naturally occurring nutritional compounds, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, live enzymes, and amino acids in their natural synergistic state that can only be obtained from these live foods. These bioavailable nutrients cannot be isolated and placed into a synthetic vitamin or mineral supplement. Learn to enjoy the Feast of local, fresh, all natural, live organic whole foods every day.

"True wisdom consists in not departing from nature, but molding our conduct according to her wise laws." - Seneca

Now, think with me for a moment about your daily diet.
Is the food you're eating being a "remedy" or a "curse" to your body?

If you were to take Hippocrates' wisdom and apply it to your lifestyle,
what would your eating habits look like?

What kind of nutrition would you be putting into your body?
Which denatured processed toxic foods would you stop buying and stop eating?

What fresh fruits & vegetables would you start eating several times a day?

I created this blog to be personal and practical, not theoretical. My hope is that the information you learn from this blog will lead you to make some very significant changes to your eating habits.

Start applying this ancient wisdom to your diet today by making good nutritional choices one day at a time. Decide right now that your food will be your remedy and that you will start eating healthy.

Doctrine of Signatures - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy with Organic Whole Food Feast

What Part of the Human Body
Does a Pair of Hanging Figs Look Like?

Today I'd like to share a very interesting article with you by Robin Plan that I found on her website. She actually found this great information on another site: Just A List

"I came across an amazing post on Just A List that I have to pass along.

The doctrine of signatures is an ancient European philosophy that held that plants bearing parts that resembled human body parts, animals, or other objects, had useful relevancy to those parts, animals or objects.

Susan put a lot of time into the her post so look at the samples here and then jump over to
Just A List to view the rest. It's fun and educational.

Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don't have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.

Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female - they look just like these organs. Today's research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? .... It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).

Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcome male sterility.

Thanks Susan." - by Robin Plan

Part 2 Reading Food Labels - Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy

DEVELOPING THE VALUABLE HABIT OF
READING FOOD LABELS

This is PART 2 of reading food labels and ingredients lists on food.

Part 1 focused on the bad, unhealthy food ingredients to look for and avoid, as well as some general guidelines regarding reading food labels and how food manufacturers often deceive the consumer in their labels. You can look back at Part 1 in my blog archives dated November 8th, 2007.

In case you missed the first posting, I will review some of the introductory comments before sharing what good whole food ingredients to look for when you're out shopping.

When it comes to keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy,what could be more important than always reading food labels before you buy something to eat?!

This is one of those valuable health habits that you should be practicing every day without even thinking about it.

Good nutrition and healthy eating begin with carefully reading the LIST OF INGREDIENTS on all the food items you're considering purchasing.

GOOD WHOLE FOOD INGREDIENTS TO LOOK FOR

1. Look for "ORGANIC" whole food ingredients. These are the healthiest foods to eat because they are grown without the use of chemical pesticides and herbicides. They are natural organic whole foods that your body can use for life and energy.

2. Look for "NON-GM" OR "NON-GE" (non-genetically modified or non-genetically engineered) food ingredients. These are natural whole foods that haven't been genetically engineered in some lab. Avoid GE and GM products like the plague! Today these GM food ingredients are in over 70% of the products in your local supermarket. If a label says, "corn," then it is most probably genetically modified corn, and it is not good for you. If a label says, "organic stone ground corn," then it is a natural whole food and is good for you. Probably the best way to avoid GM or GE foods is to buy organic labeled foods. In America, you've got to be very careful about the source and type of corn, soy, and wheat, because these are the three biggest GM or GE products out there, and they are making their way into most of the food products in your local supermarket.

3. Look for products made with "100% WHOLE WHEAT" which has the germ and the bran and all of the vitamins and minerals that come with a whole food grain. Don't be fooled by the similar looking terms, "whole wheat" or "enriched wheat."

4. Pay attention to the oils that are put in your food. Look for good oils such as extra virgin olive oil, raw coconut oil, flaxseed oil, high oleic expeller-pressed safflower oil and sunflower oil, sesame oil, and avocado oil. These are the best natural and healthy oils out there.

5. Look for healthy sweeteners such as raw, unfiltered, unheated honey, raw agave nectar, maple syrup, and Stevia (a natural sweet herb/leaf).

6. Pay attention to the amount of salt in the product, as well as the kind of salt. The best salt is Himalayan crystal salt, followed by sea salt. Avoid all table salt.

7. Look for organic meats such as grass-fed beef, lamb and poultry. For seafood, look for freshly caught deep ocean fish that have fins and scales.

I encourage you to take these keys to good nutrition and apply these tips to eating healthy as you go out and shop for the healthiest, most life-giving food you can find. Practice this critical healthy habit of reading food labels to protect your health and to ensure that you're getting food that is truly healthy.

9. TAKE SOME HIGH QUALITY ORGANIC WHOLE FOOD SUPPLEMENTS

Find some high quality live whole food nutritional supplements that you can add to your diet in order to fill in your nutritional gaps and in order to protect your health and combat the effects of toxins in our environment. I strongly recommend an amazing product called, "The Feast," made by URI International. It has over 70 live whole food greens, vegetables, fruits, and berries in a dry InstaFresh juice powder form. I also recommend the following whole food nutritional supplements that are all very healthy and nutrient dense: barley grass juice, alfalfa leaf juice, wheat grass juice, kelp, Klamath Lake algae, chlorella, spirulina, oat grass juice, carrot juice, noni-juice, mangosteen, wolfberry-goji, acai berry, blackberry, blueberry, pomegranate, bilberry, elderberry, cranberry, flax seed, oat bran, brown rice fiber complex, almond seed, sunflower seed, chia seed, sesame seed, etc. By the way, all of these nutrients are ingredients in "The Feast." You many also be interested in "The Feast - Supercharged," which has some additional energizing berries, seeds, and leaves. It has the same blend of superior ingredients as The Feast, but with six additional energizing ingredients including green tea extract and green coffee bean extract, etc.

I would also strongly recommend these super-powerful live whole food nutritional supplements that I take every day: living probiotics, living Homeostatic Soil Organisms (HSO), all-natural plant based active enzymes, Himalayan crystal salt (full spectrum salt with over 72 trace minerals), GTF chromium, extra virgin organic coconut oil, extra virgin olive oil, organic all-natural unheated and unfiltered local honey, and Bragg's organic apple cider vinegar. Each one of these whole food nutritional supplements are powerful life-giving foods that God created to help your body live long and healthy. Add them to your daily diet so that you can receive the incredible health benefits they offer.

10. DETOXIFY YOUR BODY AND ITS ENVIRONMENT

Periodically cleanse your body from toxins with these seven types of important cleanses: colon cleanse, liver/goll bladder cleanse, kidney/bladder cleanse, parasite cleanse, heavy metal cleanse, candida cleanse, and a whole-body cleanse. Give yourself a daily dry brush massage after showering. Take a dry sauna or infared sauna to sweat out built-up toxins. Use an air purification system to keep your home air quality healthy. Wash sheets and towels in organic all-natural soap. Get all mercury amalgam fillings and all metal removed from your teeth. Avoid and eliminate antiperspirants, deodorants, sunblocks, toxic cleaning supplies, air fresheners, non-stick cookware, all use of microwave ovens, fluoride toothpastes, fluorescent lighting, dry cleaning, hot tubs, and steam saunas.

11. PRACTICE GIVING AND RECEIVING LOVE; LEARN TO BE FORGIVING AND ACCEPTING; AND BE THANKFUL

Learning to practice and do these things is critical to your health and longevity. Each of these things will have a healthy and positive effect on your health, and they will be health and life to other people. Keeping a positive and thankful attitude will greatly benefit your health. You were created to love and to be loved, so it's critically important for you to learn how to give love and to receive love. One of my spiritual leaders put it this way: "When you get to heaven, God is going to ask you this question - 'Did you learn to love?' What will your answer be?" One big part of loving is learning to forgive others when they hurt you, as well as forgiving yourself when you do something wrong or stupid. Holding on to unforgiveness only leads to poisoning yourself with bitterness. Unforgiveness makes you a prisoner and destroys your life. Refusing to forgive someone is like drinking deadly poison yourself while thinking it's going to hurt the person who offended you. I have read studies that show that unforgiveness and bitterness are actually toxic to the body and can lead to all kinds of major physical health problems, including the big "C-".

Another aspect of loving is learning to accept other people for who they are and as they are. Sure, nobody's perfect, not even you, so it's important to learn to accept yourself and others with all of their shortcomings. We each have our own strengths and weaknesses, and it is wise to learn to accept that about ourselves and others. Finally, it's also important to have a positive and thankful attitude in this life. Look for the good in other people, and give out plenty of sincere compliments. As you've heard since childhood, "Count your many blessings, name them one by one." God loves a cheerful giver who blesses other people and who lives with a grateful heart. Your attitude in this life is critical to your physical health. If you want to live a long and healthy life, you've got to let go of negative attitudes, complaining, and a critical spirit, and you've got to embrace a life of love, forgiveness, acceptance, positive attitudes, and a thankful heart.

12. DEVELOP A CLOSE FRIENDSHIP WITH GOD

King Solomon wrote: "My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you prosperity." (Proverbs 3:1-2) This is encouraging us to follow God's ultimate health plan for our lives by holding on to His teaching and keeping His commands. Of course, this begins with a personal relationship with God, through which we grow in a close friendship with Him based on love for Him and our obedience to His commands. When you learn to offer your body as a living sacrifice by following God's ultimate health plan, you'll enjoy a long life, peaceful, abundant, and prosperous life, and you'll be honoring your family and God.

Part I - 12 Secrets to Health and Longevity: Keys to Good Nutrition and to Eating Healthy

Question: What would I say if someone asked me what they had to do to live a long and healthy life?

Answer: I'd say, "Do you want the short answer or the long answer?"

Here's my short answer...

Listen, seek, research, learn, study, and understand that there are keys of knowledge that will help you unlock the secrets to a long and healthy life. These keys to good nutrition and to healthy eating will open a whole new world of health, life, and vitality to you. I believe you were created by God and destined to a life of health and prosperity.

1. EAT ONLY HEALTHY ORGANIC NATURAL WHOLE FOODS

Eat foods that are grown organically, not with chemical pesticides and herbicides. Eat live whole foods, not processed foods. Eat natural foods, not artificial foods and additives. Eat foods that are grown naturally, without hormones and antibiotics. Eat raw foods. Try to eat at least 75% of your foods raw in their natural whole food state. Eat a lot of vegetables and greens, organic of course. Also eat plenty of fruits and berries. Eat non-GM foods; avoid all genetically modified and engineered foods. Eat whole food grains, legumes, beans, seeds, and nuts. Eat only organically grown and grass fed natural chicken, turkey, lamb, and beef. Eat only wild ocean fish with fins and scales, and avoid all farm raised fish and seafood scavengers. Eat only full spectrum Himalayan crystal salt, avoiding all table salt (sodium chloride). Eat traditionally fermented lactic acid foods like sauerkraut, sour pickles, miso, raw yogurt, raw kefir, apple cider vinegar, etc.

2. AVOID ALL MAN MADE PROCESSED "FOODS" MADE WITH THE FOLLOWING

Artificial sweeteners like aspartame, nutrasweet, splenda, sucrulose, saacharin; table salt (sodium chloride); white sugar, brown sugar, fructose, dextrose, sucrose, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup; white processed flour and enriched wheat flour; white processed rice; pasteurized and homogenized milk and dairy products; MSG, soy sauce, and teriyaki sauce; cottonseed oil, palm oil, hydrogenated oil (trans fat) and partially hydrogenated oil, Crisco, Olestra, Olean, and all margarine products; canned and bottled juice, sodas, diet sodas, coffee, caffeine, caffeinated teas, and alcohol; shellfish scavengers (shrimp, crab, lobster, clams, scallops, oysters, etc.); deep-fried foods; all pork and pork products; deli luncheon meats loaded with sodium nitrates; "farm-raised" fish; fast food; junk food; artificial colors and flavors (toxic chemicals); anything labeled "fat free" or "sugar free" or "low carbs" or "net carbs;" chlorinated and fluoridated tap water; and anything microwaved. All of these things are toxic to your body and will poison your system. Avoid all these refined, processed, denatured, fattening, pre-packaged, sugar-laden, overcooked, toxic, man-made "food."

3. DRINK ONLY PURE NATURAL SPRING WATER

Drink your body weight in ounces every day. If you're 160 pounds, then drink 160 ounces of water a day. Never drink tap water that is loaded with chemicals such as chlorine and fluoride.

4. LEARN HOW TO EAT PROPERLY

This includes the following: eat only when you're really hungry; eat slowly and chew your food very well; relax when you eat and enjoy the experience; practice conscious under-eating (this is the number one longevity and health principle); eat your whole meal within a one-hour period; eat all fruit by itself; don't drink liquids during or right after your meal; and always remember to give thanks to God for the food He provides. Keep in mind that overeating is one of the main causes of premature aging and degenerative illnesses.

Stay tuned for Part 2 and Part 3 of these 12 secrets to health and longevity...

Drinking Barley Grass Juice Is a Key to Good Nutrition and Eating Healthy

Today I'd like to introduce you to an incredibly healthy product that I've been taking for the past six months: BARLEY PURE, which is a pure barley juice powder. Barley Pure provides 100% pure juice powder concentrate from fresh young, certified organic barley grass. This product is made by URI International, the same great company that makes "The FEAST." Taking BARLEY PURE daily is another one of the keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy.

Barley grass is truly an amazing food that provides one of the most balanced nutrient profiles of all green plants and is naturally rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytonutrients, amino acids, glycosylisovitexin, plant proteins, and active enzymes.

Barley grass is abundant in chlorophyll, the most health-supporting green food phytonutrient.

Barley grass is nutrient dense and naturally alkalinizing, which helps balance over acidity.

BARLEY PURE has naturally alkalinizing properties and bio-available nutrients that provide energetic nutritional power and nourishment while promoting health, vitality, and pH balance.

BARLEY PURE is 100% organic whole food nutrition and is Kosher.

BARLEY PURI is dried at temperatures below 100 degrees F.

For more information on the nutrition and benefits of barley grass, click here:

Barley grass nutritional information

If you would like to get more information and pricing on BARLEY PURE Pure Barley Juice Powder Drink Mix, click here:

BARLEY PURE Pure Barley Juice Powder Drink Mix by URI International

I enjoy the benefits of drinking BARLEY PURE every morning with my family. I simply add a teaspoon or two to my favorite smoothie recipe, which includes "The FEAST," a banana, some organic frozen berries, some COCONUT PURE (organic extra virgin coconut oil), some freshly ground flax seeds, and a few other things I'll share with you in the future.

I should warn you that most people can't handle the taste of drinking barley grass just with water. This is the reason that I suggest that you add it in to your favorite smoothie recipe like I do. By itself, it tastes like you're licking a lawnmower. However, added to a tasty smoothie, you hardly notice it.

3 Reasons Whole Food Nutritional Supplements Are Keys to Good Nutrition and Tips to Eating Healthy

"Nutrition directly affects growth, development, reproduction, well-being of an individual's physical and mental condition. Health depends upon nutrition more than any other single factor." - Dr. W. H. Sebrell, Jr.

Whole food nutritional supplements are one of the keys to good nutrition and to eating healthy. I would like to share three prime purposes for taking whole food nutritional supplements.

Purpose #1 - To fill in the nutritional gaps created by poor eating habits.

Most people do not eat the way they should. In fact, if you're completely honest, you'd probably agree that you don't eat the way that you should either. Even if you're quite the healthy eater, there are still gaps in your diet that need to be filled in with good nutrition. We all have a few poor eating habits and vices that leave holes in our nutrition armor. One of the best way to fill in these nutritional gaps is to take live whole food nutritional supplements on a daily basis.

Purpose #2- To compensate and fill in the nutritional gaps created by nutritionally inferior foods.

As you may know, food today is not what it was 100 or 200 years ago. Our soil has been depleted, and so even our fresh produce has only a fraction of the nutrition it had 100 years ago. For this reason it is important to compensate for this factor by taking live whole food based nutritional supplements every day.

Purpose #3 - To protect your body from toxic factors and to help your body detoxify from all of the environmental poisons that you are exposed to today.

Many of the nutrients in whole food nutritional supplements have protective properties against many of today's toxic environmental factors. The whole food based antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and phytonutrients in a high quality supplement can help protect you from the damaging effects of poisonous additives and residues in your water, food, air, clothing, cosmetics, household items, etc. In fact, some of the whole food nutrients not only protect but also help your body detoxify and get rid of the toxins in your body. This is one more major reason why it's so important to take a whole food based nutritional supplement on a daily basis.

I've been taking an incredibly healthy live whole food based nutritional supplement called, "The Feast," made by Uri International. I was introduced to this amazing product by a friend of mine named Brett Rademacher of Urilife. If you would like more information on this InstaFresh juice powder, otherwise known as a super juice, click on the link at the top left of this blog. This is simply the best product I could find on the market today that is made with the highest quality whole food ingredients, most of which are organic. To your health, the Naked Nutrition Knight

Power Smoothie Recipe - Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy

Daily Quote: "Long before you were conceived by your parents, you were conceived in the mind of God." - Rick Warren

Today is my 48th birthday, and I'm so grateful to God to be alive and healthy! I included the above quote because it relates to my birthday and my very existence, and to yours too.

Since it's my birthday, I'm going to keep today's blog about keys to good nutrition and tips to eating healthy very short. Hope you don't mind a little brevity from time to time.

MY DAILY SUPER NUTRITIOUS MORNING SMOOTHIE

I'd like to share the recipe I use to create my super nutritious morning smoothie every day. It's loaded with powerful nutrients that give my body a real boost of energy, and it's got things in it that assist my body in cleansing and eliminating the wastes from the day before. And best of all, it actually tastes great too! In fact, my 2-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter both demand their own servings.

Put all of the following into a blender:

- about 16 ounces of natural spring water

- half a cup of frozen organic strawberries and/or blueberries

- 2 scoops of "The Feast" (my favorite whole food supplement juice powder, which is loaded with over 70+ fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, seeds, nuts, spouts, enzymes, organic minerals, and resilient living probiotics). The Feast is made by Uri International.

- 1 scoop of barley grass juice powder (I use "Barley Pure" made by Uri)

- 1 scoop of "Beyond Berries" (which is loaded with 15 antioxidant-rich berries & fruit, including Noni fruit, Mangosteen, Wolfberry-Goji, Acai berry, black currant, etc.)

- 1 teaspoon of Himalayan Krystal Salt saline solution

- 1/2 fresh lemon (aids in cleansing & elimination)

- 1 ripe banana

- 1 scoop "Food 'N Fiber" (whole food fiber by Uri)

- 1 tablespoon organic extra virgin coconut oil ("Coconut Pure" by Uri)

- 1 good shake of Cayenne pepper (aids in cleansing & elimination)

Put all of these ingredients into a blender and let her rip. I would recommend blending everything except the banana first, and then at the very end, throw in the banana and blend it on low. This way the banana helps to thicken the smoothie.

It takes me about 4 or 5 minutes every morning to make this delicious smoothie, and my body is so happy to get such a powerful nutritious morning boost. Now I actually crave my morning smoothie and "The Feast" that's a part of it. It is so nutrient dense and loaded with whole food nutrition that it has become my daily breakfast and keeps me full until lunch. Enjoy!

Natural Whole Food Supplements Recommended as Keys to Good Nutrition & Tips to Eating Healthy

Daily Quote: "Perfect health is above gold; a sound body before riches." - King Solomon

Good morning, my friends, from your faithful Naked Nutrition Knight. Today I'd like to give you a few more keys to good nutrition and some tips to eating healthy. Are you ready for some practical insider information on what the best whole food nutritional supplements are?

Before I share this useful information, I need to say that you should not by buying processed synthetic man-made vitamins and mineral and nutritional supplements. Most of these products are now being made by drug companies, and most of them are being made in foreign countries like China. The main reason that you shouldn't be buying them is that they are "synthetic" man-made chemical copies of what is found naturally in nature. In other words, most of them have been chemically produced in a pharmaceutical laboratory and are not made from the natural food sources found in nature.

This is a huge problem because your body cannot effectively utilize these "synthetic" man-made versions of vitamins and minerals. In fact, many of them are not even recognized by your body as vitamins and minerals, and they are therefore rejected by your body as toxins, which is what they really are. If you are loading up every day on "synthetic" chemically-based man-made vitamins and minerals, you are actually weakening your body with chemicals that are often toxic to your system and are not able to be recognized or utilized by your body. I encourage you to stop buying these man-made products.

The best source for natural vitamins and minerals, enzymes, anti-oxidants, and phytonutrients is from live whole foods. In other words, eat an apple and some watermelon. Get your nutrition from real live fresh organic whole foods such as vegetables, greens, fruits, berries, grains, seeds, nuts, legumes and beans. These foods are loaded with vitamins and minerals and hundreds of other important nutrients.

In addition to eating these whole foods, you can also juice your vegetables and fruits in order to get a concentrated amount of natural vitamins and minerals and enzymes. However, this must be done in moderation because you don't want to overload your system with too much natural sugar found in fruits. The down side to juicing is that many people find it just too inconvenient due to the cleaning up process. People often buy a juicer and use it for several weeks or months, but soon they stop using it because it is just too much work to buy all the fresh produce, wash it, juice it, and clean up the mess afterwards day after day.

There is another "next best alternative" source for getting your natural vitamins and minerals. It's called live whole food nutritional supplements. What does that mean? Simply put, it means that they take the fresh live organic fruits & berries, greens and vegetables, and they pick them at their peak of ripeness and nutritional value, and turn them into a juice mixture. Then they dry the juice using a low-heat dehydration process that preserves the nutrients without preservatives. The final natural product is a powder that you simply mix with water (rehydrate) and drink. In this way you're able to get the full nutritional value of all of that live organic whole food produce, including all of the natural occurring vitamins, minerals, enzymes, anti-oxidants, phytonutrients, & hundreds of other nutrivitve compounds.

TAKE THESE NATURAL WHOLE FOOD NUTRITIONAL SUPPLEMENTS

Here is a brief, condensed list of some of the very best natural whole food nutritional supplements that you can (and should) be putting in your body every day. These foods are often referred to as superfoods or superjuices because they are so loaded with powerful nutritional compounds that are so good for your body's health and vitality.

1. Drink a top-quality "GREEN DRINK" every day. These should come in a powdered dehydrated form that you simply mix with water and drink. Never buy a green drink or superjuice that is in a liquid form because it has been pasteurized (which kills many of the living nutrients) and because it has had unhealthy preservatives added to it to keep it from going moldy. Always look for a dry dehydrated powder form that you mix with water.

Make sure that it is loaded with high-quality, ripe, live natural organic whole foods. These should include as many as possible of the following foods, superfoods and superjuices: Barley grass juice, wheat grass juice, alfalfa leaf juice, oat grass juice, Klamath Lake blue-green algae, spirulina, chlorella, kelp, lots of powerful greens and vegetables, lots of antioxidant rich fruits and berries such as noni-fruit, mangosteen, wolfberry-goji, acai berry, black currant, blackberry, blueberry, pomegranate, bilberry, raspberry, purple grape, elderberry, cranberry, strawberry, and apple; lots of nutrient dense seeds, nuts, and sprouts such as flax seed, oat bran, brown rice fiber, almond seed, sunflower seed, wheat sprout, quinoa sprout, amaranth sprout, pumpkin seed, chia seed, and sesame seed; many active enzymes and fulvic minerals; and a lot of resilient living probiotics.

You can go to a health food store to find green drinks, but most of them taste like you're licking a lawnmower. Sadly, most people who buy them end up throwing them away after one or two tastes because they simply taste so awfully green. The secret to overcoming this problem is to find a green drink that has a lot of fruits and berries added in to the greens and vegetable juices that add an element of sweetness that makes the green drink actually taste good. I warn you, there aren't many out there, so you'll really have to look everywhere until you find one. By the way, I can make your search very easy because several months ago I found just such a superjuice green drink that has everything mentioned above, and it actually tastes great. It's called, "The Feast." Believe it or not, my small kids even love it and demand it every morning. If you would like to learn more about this amazing green drink, you can find information on it at the following website. The FEAST

2. Drink some Bragg's Organic APPLE CIDER VINEGAR every morning. In 400 B.C., Hippocrates (the father of medicine) discovered that natural, undistilled apple cider vinegar is a powerful cleansing and healing elixir - a naturally occurring antibiotic and antiseptic that fights germs, bacteria, mold, and viruses - for a healthier, stronger, longer life. The best kind to use is organic, raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized apple cider vinegar with the "mother" in it. You can find this at most health food stores. I recommend the Bragg's brand and their book, "Apple Cider Vinegar Miracle Health System: Learn these Powerful Health Qualities for a Longer, Healthier, Youthful Life!" by Paul Bragg and Patricia Bragg. They recommend mixing 1-2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar with some raw honey or raw agave nectar in 8 ounces of water upon rising every morning.

3. Use EXTRA VIRGIN COCONUT OIL every day in your smoothies and/or cooking. Coconut oil is a very healthy oil that has many benefits for your body, including assisting in weight loss. Two more excellent oils to add to your diet are EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL and SESAME OIL.

4. Use as a sweetener RAW HONEY (unheated, unfiltered, natural, unprocessed pollen-rich). Also, you can take raw honey related superfoods such as propolis, bee pollen, and royal jelly. Honey possesses miraculous nutritional and medicinal properties. However, I caution you not to take more than one or two teaspoons a day. Too much honey may adversely affect the pancreas, liver, and adrenals and contribute to sugar-metabolism disorders.

5. I would also recommend taking GTF CHROMIUM on a daily basis. Most Americans are deficient in chromium, which is an essential co-factor of insulin that helps control & regulate insulin in your body.

6. Start using HIMALAYAN KRYSTAL SALT in your diet, in moderation. Stop using table salt immediately. It contains only sodium chloride, can cause the body to retain water which can cause swelling, edema, and cellulite; and it often has additives such as aluminum hydroxide, sodiumferrocyanide, calcium phosphate, stearic acid, and others which can be toxic. When ingested, the body recognizes table salt as a poison and accumulates water in and around the cells to protect them from this invading substance.

On the other hand, Krystal Salt contains all 72 mineral elements that the human body consists of in ideal proportions. All these minerals are in the perfect crystal matrix and ultimate ionic form (electrically charged). Krystal salt is the only antioxidant that works everywhere in the body. Once Krystal Salt is introduced into the body, a profound regeneration of the cell membranes becomes possible. If you would like more information on Himalayan Krystal Salt or Miracle Krystal Salt, simply do a Google search, find a producer of the salt, and order some, or click on this link to where I get mine: Himalayan Krystal Salt Then get rid of all table salt from your kitchen, diet, and life.

I trust this information has been helpful to you. I encourage you to incorporate these SIX SUPERFOODS into your daily diet.

The FUTURE OF FOOD - Watch this Shocking Video, a Key to Eating Healthy & Good Nutrition

There is a revolution happening in the farm fields and on the dinner tables of America -- a revolution that is transforming the very nature ... of the food we eat.

If you are concerned about feeding your family good nutrition, and if you are looking for another KEY to eating healthy, then WATCH THIS VIDEO. It will open your eyes to what is really happening to our food supply and why it is all the more important for you to be very careful what you eat and what you are feeding your family.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled U.S. grocery stores for the past decade.

From the prairies of Saskatchewan, Canada to the fields of Oaxaca, Mexico, this film gives a voice to farmers whose lives and livelihoods have been negatively impacted by this new technology. The health implications, government policies and push towards globalization are all part of the reason why many people are alarmed by the introduction of genetically altered crops, aka GMO (genetically modified organisms) into our food supply.

Shot on location in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, THE FUTURE OF FOOD examines the complex web of market and political forces that are changing what we eat as huge multinational corporations seek to control the world's food system. The film also explores alternatives to large-scale industrial agriculture, placing organic and sustainable agriculture as real solutions to the farm crisis today.

Replacing Bad Foods with Healthy Alternatives is Key to Eating Healthy & Good Nutrition

I have a sense that some of you were overwhelmed by my list of 20 things never to eat. That list is not simply my opinion, but rather it is backed up by lots of research and scientific evidence. If you don't believe me, then I encourage you to do your own research on each one of the 20 things to avoid. I promise that you'll find ample evidence to support the fact that these 20 "foods" are very unhealthy and damaging to your health.

So, where do we go from here? Begin by replacing each of the "bad food" items with a healthy natural good nutrition alternative. You may not know of any good alternatives, which is the purpose of today's posting. I want to share with you alternatives for you to replace the processed foods with natural unprocessed foods. Following these recommendations is one of the keys to eating healthy. Are you ready? Here we go...

MEATS - Replace the unhealthy meats (pork, deli luncheon meats, shellfish, fish without fins & scales, and farm-raised fish) with healthy meats including: wild deep-water ocean fish that have scales and fins, organic natural-fed kosher lamb, beef, turkey, and chicken, in moderation. Look for good sources of these healthy meats in your area.

SWEETENERS - Replace unhealthy artificial sweeteners (aspartame, Nutrasweet, sucrulose, Splenda, Saacharin, white sugar, high-fructose corn syrup) with these healthy alternatives: stevia, raw organic unheated unfiltered honey, raw agave nectar, or organic raw-evaporated sugar cane juice from the health food store.

SALT - Replace refined & processed table salt (sodium chloride) with a full-spectrum natural unprocessed hand-mined salt such as: Himalayan Krystal salt. It has 74 essential minerals and trace elements that harmonize with your bones and enzymes. On the other hand, table salt contains only 2 things: sodium and chloride. I strongly encourage you to go on-line and research this for yourself. You can find quite a few good companies on the internet that are selling Himalayan crystal salt, sometimes called pink salt. It is much healthier than even sea salt, which today is subject to increasing environmental pollution. My family and I love our Himalayan Krystal salt because it not only tastes great, but it also is continually replacing minerals and trace elements that our bodies use and need every day to function properly.

OILS - Replace the highly processed and man-made oils and fats (hydrogenated oils, trans fat, Canola oil, margarine, shortening, Crisco, cottonseed oil, palm oil, Olestra, Olean) with these very healthy alternative oils: extra virgin olive oil, extra virgin coconut oil, sesame oil, sunflower oil, avocado oil, and raw butter. These natural nutritious oils and fats are healthy in moderation and will provide your body with the good kinds of oil it needs.

DAIRY PRODUCTS - Replace all milk and dairy products made from pasteurized and homogenized milk with these healthy alternatives: unpasteurized & unhomogenized RAW milk and dairy products made with raw milk such as raw cheese, raw butter, raw yogurt, raw kefir, raw cream, etc. Do a little research and find a place where you can buy these raw milk products.

REFINED & PROCESSED FLOURS, GRAINS, AND RICE - Replace all bleached white refined flours, bleached white grains and rice, with the following: unprocessed organic whole wheat grains, unrefined organic 100% whole wheat flour, organic 100% whole buckwheat flour, organic whole corn flour and corn meal, and organic unprocessed brown rice.

FAST FOOD & JUNK FOOD - Replace fast food and deep-fried foods with healthier alternatives including: home cooked meals, home made sandwiches, salads, etc. And replace all junk food and food labeled as "fat free" or "sugar free" or "low carb" or "diet," all of which are loaded with artificial sweeteners, fats, MSG, and other bad preservatives with the following healthy choices: fresh fruits, fresh berries, fresh greens and vegetables, raw carrots, raw nuts, raw seeds, organic non-GMO popcorn, celery and raw peanut butter, etc.

SODAS, DIET SODAS, CANNED JUICES AND BOTTLED JUICES, & TAP WATER - Replace these very unhealthy drinks with the following healthy alternatives: natural spring water, Artesian well water, fresh organic fruit and vegetable juices that you make yourself with a juicer, and home-made herb tea and iced-tea.

MICROWAVED FOOD - Replace all microwaved food with food that you heat up the old-fashioned way on the stove, in the toaster oven, or in a convection oven.

FLUORIDE TOOTHPASTE - Replace this toxic chemical found in your toothpaste (and tap water) with toothpastes that are made with healthy all-natural ingredients and do not contain any fluoride. You can find a whole assortment of fluoride-free toothpastes at your local health food store.

In SUMMARY, there are a lot of very healthy and nutritious alternatives out there for you to choose from during the painful process of eliminating the bad "foods" from your diet. The good news is that after a while, you will no longer miss those unhealthy "foods," and you will begin to actually crave live whole foods that are super healthy for your body. Remember, it's a process. Don't try to eliminate everything overnight. Start with eliminating 1 or 2 things at a time and replacing them with healthy nutritious alternatives. Over the course of a few months, you will be able to eliminate over 90% of the bad "foods" and replace them with truly good foods that will make you feel much better and help your body function at its peak performance. By the way, feel free to post any questions you might have, and I will try to answer them in future postings.

We Must Complement Good Nutrition and Eating Healthy with Organic Whole Food Supplements

What is the SECRET to enjoying the health and vitality experienced by our forefathers? The answer is simple and indisputable: Live Whole Food Nutrition! For centuries our ancestors received good nutrition from whole food sources such as grains, seeds, legumes, beans, nuts, vegetables, greens, sprouts, fruits and berries. These were all grown in chemical-free and pesticide-free soil that was rich in probiotics, minerals, fulvic acid, and enzymes.

In today's world, our bodies still need the complete and natural balance of pure nutrients and energy provided by live whole foods. The demands of our modern fast-paced stressful world have led to the processing of food to the point of non-nutrition. Authentic food value has been sacrificed for convenience. Due to the life-destroying practices of the food-producing and food-processing industries, our modern-day foods are nutritionally inferior to the food our grandparents ate 2 or 3 generations ago. The grains, vegetables, meat, and dairy products they ate had a higher vitamin, mineral, and protein content, and they were free from DDT, hormones, preservatives, insecticides, and other chemicals and drugs. The natural live whole food that our ancestors ate has been replaced with chemically modified products that can cause illness and many physical health problems.

In this day and age, we are not only eating food, but our food is eating us. Some people try to counteract the impact of poor nutrition with "processed nutritional supplements" in the form of man-made isolated synthetic vitamins (lifeless chemicals) and inorganic minerals that their bodies cannot use and that are only slightly more beneficial than the processed foods that created the problem.

The solution to this national nutritional crisis we are facing is simply getting back to basics. We need to get back to a complete balance of live whole foods, just the way that nature intended for healthy lifestyles. Supplementing our diet with live whole food nutritional products will provide that balance we need. The KEY to this balance is feeding your body the live whole food nutrition that it knows and that it needs.

The prime purpose of taking daily nutritional whole food supplements is to fill in the nutritional gaps produced by poor eating habits and by nutritionally-inferior foods. Let's face it: Americans are not known for eating healthy. We are known for our fast food restaurants, our junk food, our super sweet and overly fat foods. Food supplements will replace in your diet the good nutrition that is missing in food grown on depleted soils, lost in storage and transportation, and removed by food processing.

Another important reason to add to your diet live whole food nutritional supplements is that they provide your only available protection against the harmful effects of today's toxic environment. Many of the nutrients in organic whole food supplements have protective properties against the damaging effects of poisonous additives, residues, and poisons that are lurking in our air, water, food, clothing, cosmetics, household cleaners, etc.

In conclusion, there are two main reasons to take whole food supplements. The first reason is because today's food is not as nutritious as it was 100 years ago as a result of farming methods that have leached the soil of necessary minerals and nutrients. The second reason is that today's food, water, air, and living environments are loaded with toxins that need to be combated with supplements in order to protect our health. If you are interested in finding out more about an amazing live whole food nutritional supplement called "The Feast," go to the top left corner of my blog and click on the link that says "Try the Feast - the single most nutritional experience of your life." This is an incredibly healthy live whole food product that delivers a full, synergistic spectrum of: 30 antioxidant rich fruits and berries, 30 powerful greens and vegetables, 11 nutrient dense seeds, nuts, and sprouts; 83+ active enzymes and fulvic minerals, and 22 strains of resilient living probiotics. For me and my family, in addition to eating healthy every day, the Feast is our one source of complete nutrition. I encourage you to check it out for yourself.

Nutrition Food Group Keys to Eating a Good Healthy Diet

According to Dr. Paavo Airola, world-renown nutritionist, the optimum diet for superior health should be made up primarily of three basic whole food groups. These foods are universally adaptable and will supply adequate amounts of all the nutrients required for the maintenance of optimum health, including high-quality proteins in sufficient amounts. It is important to eat healthy and create your daily menu from foods of these three key food groups that are indigenous to your area and grown locally (on organic farms whenever possible). Make sure that your diet is composed of a variety of fresh whole foods from these three food groups.

#1. Grains, Legumes, Beans, Seeds, and Nuts - This is the most important and potent health-building food group of all. The good nutrition of these foods is unsurpassed because they contain the secret of life itself - the germ! The germ is the reproductive power and spark of life in all seeds, and it is essential to life, health, and reproductive ability. This food group contains all of the essential nutrients for human growth and maintenance of health. Even though all grains and seeds are beneficial, it is best to predominantly eat those that your ancestors ate and those that are grown locally.

Contrary to what you may have heard, buckwheat, almonds, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and peanuts all contain complete proteins, which are comparable in biological quality value to animal proteins. This food group is also the best natural source of essential unsaturated fatty acids, which are necessary to maintain health. The vitamin content (especially vitamin E and the B-complex vitamins) of this food group is unsurpassed. Grains, nuts, and seeds are also a treasure chest of minerals and trace elements. Minerals also help balance the body chemistry, especially regarding alkalinity and acidity. This group also contains pacifarins, which increase the body's natural resistance to physical ailments. And finally, whole grains, legumes, beans, and seeds provide the body with necessary fiber and roughage content. This is critical to avoiding all kinds of colon and intestinal tract problems that currently plague our nation as a result of refined and processed foods.

The best grains to eat are buckwheat, oats, millet, and brown rice. Most other grains are beneficial, but be careful with wheat because it is one of the most common allergens today. These grains can be eaten daily in the form of cereal, porridge, breads, pancakes, soups, etc. or sprouted. Cooking grains or sprouting them actually helps release the vital minerals by breaking down the mineral-phytin bond so that minerals can be assimilated in the intestinal tract. The best seeds are flax seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, and pumpkin seeds. Beware of sunflower seeds because they are extremely vulnerable to rancidity. The best nuts are almonds and hazelnuts. Do NOT buy roasted nuts and seeds because the high heat renders them carcinogenic. Always and only eat fresh raw nuts and seeds, including raw almond butter and raw peanut butter.

#2. Vegetables - This is the next most important food group to incorporate into your daily diet. Vegetables are a rich source of minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. Most green leafy vegetables also contain the highest quality complete proteins. Some vegetables, such as green beans, squash, yams, and potatoes, should be steamed or baked. However, most vegetables should be eaten RAW in the form of a daily salad. A few exceptions would be spinach and chard, which contain too much toxic oxalic acid, and asparagus. Cabbage-family vegetables should be either cooked or prepared in lactic-acid-fermented form. Garlic and onions are powerful health-promoting vegetables and should be part of your diet. Other excellent vegetables are Jerusalem artichokes, horse radish, black radish, celery root, and parsley. Be sure to also include root vegetables in your diet such as carrots, potatoes, beets, turnips, parsnips, and yams. Potatoes are extremely nutritious and are best baked or steamed. Keep in mind that potatoes must be kept in dark storage because a highly toxic chemical, solanine, develops when they are exposed to light. Also, be sure to remove the "eyes" (sprouts) of the potatoe before cooking.

#3. Fruits - Fruits are a powerful source of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, as well as easily digestible fruit sugars. In addition, they are an excellent cleansing food for breakfast, and they can be eaten between meals, but not with meals. It is best to eat fruits RAW, fresh, and in season, because they lose their vitamin content quickly. It is also beneficial to eat sun-dried fruits, but they must be unsulfured and preferably organically grown. Avoid all dried fruits with sulfur preservatives. The best sun-dried fruits to eat are raisins, figs, apricots, and currants. Now, two cautions about eating fruit: eat fruit in moderation and eat fruit on an empty stomach, by itself. Eating too much fruit will put too much sugar into your blood stream, and eating fruit with other foods will cause them to putrefy in your system and lead to poor digestion.

Eating Healthy Good Nutritious Food Will Be Your Remedy

"Your Food Will Be Your Remedy," said Hippocrates, the great physician-teacher and father of medicine. In this profound maxim, Hippocrates described the secret to living a healthy lifestyle. Natural, organic, fresh fruits, berries, greens, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and sprouts have remarkable nutritive compounds that give life to the human body and help cleanse, purify, and rebuild the body when it is weakened and struggling to overcome ailments. These live whole foods are loaded with thousands of naturally occurring nutritional compounds, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, antioxidants, live enzymes, and amino acids in their natural synergistic state that can only be obtained from these live foods. These bioavailable nutrients cannot be isolated and placed into a synthetic vitamin or mineral supplement.

Now, think with me for a moment about your daily diet. Is the food you're eating being a "remedy" or a curse to your body? If you were to take Hippocrates' wisdom and apply it to your lifestyle, what would your eating habits look like? What kind of nutrition would you be putting into your body? Which denatured processed toxic foods would you stop buying and stop eating? What fresh produce would you start eating several times a day? I want this blog to be personal and practical, not theoretical. My hope is that the information you learn from this blog will lead you to make some very significant changes to your eating habits. Start applying this ancient wisdom to your diet today by making good nutritional choices one day at a time. Decide right now that your food will be your remedy and that you will start eating healthy.
