Here is a simple approach to begin feeling
better.
The thing to remember is that there is no magic
pill for good, improved or better health. First make the personal
commitment to yourself to help yourself. Before you go to bed at night,
tell yourself that "Tomorrow is a new day and I will make better choices to
improve my health." Then when you get up in the morning, reaffirm your
commitment to yourself. Many of us make commitments to everyone else, but
not to ourselves. It's time to make that personal commitment to ourselves. This is just
showing yourself some genuine caring, concern and love.
Will it be easy? It can be if you start
your day with a positive mental attitude, faith and a belief that you can commit to your own personal health
improvement plan. The key is to just get started. It's your body and
your life. No one can do for you what you can do for yourself. If
you work towards doing this for a minimum of 30 days, you will absolutely feel
the difference, and have a few new good habits to build on. And above all,
you'll be proud of yourself.
If you slip up along the way, don't be
discouraged, pick your self up, dust yourself off and start again. We all
slip up in the mist of temptation.
HERE'S THE PLAN . . .
- Start your day quietly with
prayer/meditation. This is your personal time to connect with a higher
power.
- Eat breakfast. This is your power meal
of the day. It kick starts your metabolism.
- Drink at least (8) eight 8 oz glasses of
water a day. Start with 1-2 glasses before you leave home in the morning
for work and build up to 8 glasses before you go to bed that night.
- Take Cod Liver oil and Flax Oil daily as directed.
This is good for your heart.
- Take a good all inclusive multivitamin daily
with your meals. Take your vitamins with water.
- Take probiotics daily. Take them first
thing in the morning with water.
- Do some form of exercise every day.
Take a walk in the park, or just around the block. Instead of driving
for short errands, walk. Start with what you can tolerate. Just
start moving. If you have a 45 minute lunch break, include a 15 minute walk
after lunch.
- Have no less than 1 bowel elimination daily.
Eliminating shortly after each meal is optimal. If you have difficulty with
regular eliminations try the Natures Sunshine Bowel Cleanser.
- Monitor your blood pressure. Know what
your blood pressure is. Some places like Walgreen's and Wal-Mart have
self monitoring blood pressure machines in their stores. Check yourself
at least once a month. Keep a record and inform your primary health care
provider when you go for a check up. After a third consecutively
elevated blood pressure readings, discuss your findings with your doctor.
He/she will want to verify your findings and start an appropriate protocol
medication to manage your blood pressure.
- Monitor your blood glucose (sugar) level.
When getting your routine physical, request a blood glucose test done.
- Ask your doctor to perform a cholesterol and
kidney function tests.
What to include in your daily diet . . .
- Salads (Fast food chains have lunch salads)
- Fruits (Fresh, not canned, preferable
organic)
- Veggies (Raw, organic is better)
- Whole grains (But don't make a meal out of
grains, limit them)
- Organic meats when possible
- Water, water, water
What to eliminate from your daily diet . . .
- SUGAR, SALTS AND FATS in
moderation or as little as possible. These are the addicting substances
added into foods that keep you wanting more.
- Fried fast foods (including French fries,
morning hash browns, biscuits etc.)
- High carb, and sugary foods (cakes, cookies,
candy, donuts, potato chips)
- Pop (Soda's)
- Excessive alcohol use.
