With "Key #1" in hand, we open up the first door to Health & Wellness:
Eat to Live
We all have to eat. Most people love to eat.
The question is, "Are you eating to live, or are you living to eat?"
Which begs another question, "Is it possible that what you are eating could be killing you?"
Key #1: Eat to Live
- Eat food that was created to be food!
- Eat food in a form that is healthy for the body, close to the natural source, not man-made. Our bodies are then nourished and able to perform at optimal levels. The more convenient "foods" are less healthy and farther away from God's design for living.
- Eat foods that are produced sustainably (organically grown or raised) - a system of farming that maintains and replenishes soil fertility without the use of toxic and persistent pesticides and fertilizers.
- Eat the right combination of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.
- Eat 25-30 grams of fiber daily.
- Eat the Top Healing Foods - foods that promote life. (Watch future blog for list.)
- Avoid the "Dirty Dozen" - foods that take away life. (Watch future blog for list.)
- Chew each mouthful of food 25 to 50 times.
- Drink 6 to 8 glasses of pure water daily. Drink 8 ounces whenever you feel hungry.
- Drink 1 to 3 cups of hot tea blends each day to provide antioxidant protection and maintain a healthy weight. (Ask me about the special tea I drink every day - I'm addicted!)
- Consume at least one snack per day (protein bar or smoothie). I can recommend one that is not highly processed, and not made from genetically modified plants, and has no artificial flavors, additives or sweeteners added.
- Partially fast one day per week.
