Table of Contents – Healthy Living
3. What Is Health?
Health is a body with all systems functioning in harmony with each other.
5. Eliminate Useless Toxins
Toxins destroy human systems, they must be eliminated before disease sets in.
This includes; Antibiotics, Drugs, Fluoride, Food Additives, Food
Coloring, Heavy Metals, Hormones, Pesticides, Plastics and
Preservatives.
The body stores the toxins in human fat cells creating an inability
to lose weight.
6. What Have You Been Ingesting?
Unnecessary Medication?
8. The Dangers of Wheat
This is your body on wheat.
All of these disorders are
caused directly or
indirectly by grains.
Pro-inflammatory
Neurotoxicity
Excitotoxicity
Cytotoxicity
Disrupts Endocrine
Function
Cardiotoxicity
9. Kick the Sugar Habit
Sugar contributes
to more than 140
health problems,
including obesity,
diabetes, heart
disease, cancer
and "brain fog."
10. The Results of a Toxic Lifestyle
No energy, no exercise, headaches, compromised
immune system, and many others
Will Result in Disease
11. Acidic Toxins Change Your Cells
This is what happens inside your body, when you have severe toxicity. See diagram of abnormal or
cancer cell …Toxic waste actually changes the entire structure of your cells.
Acidic toxins change the shape of the receptor sites,
in your actual cell membranes.
Ports of the actual cells get changed. The cells fail to
communicate properly and hence go wild.
20. Eat a Balance of Whole Foods
Protein = Organic or Grass Fed Red Meat / Hormone Free Free Range Poultry / Wild Caught Fish
not Farm Raised / Legumes
Carbohydrates (not refined) = Organic Fruits and Vegetables Brown Rice
Fats = Olive Oil Coconut Oil Butter (in moderation)
Water = Purified water only – Drink half your body weight in ounces per day.
21. Clean Environment
A squeaky-clean, spotless house brings a sense of pride to many people, but here's the toxic truth: Many cleaners
and home products on the market today are making us sick and we don’t even realize it!
Clean Environment – look at your immediate
environment. Green products usually are chemical free.
Research less toxic options for your household products.
• Household Cleaners
• Makeup
• Lotions
• Hair Dyes
22. Avoid Toxins in Personal and Home Products
• Use natural makeup and personal items.
• Use natural cleaning products in your home.
• Do not use artificial air fresheners, dryer sheets, fabric softeners or other synthetic fragrances
as they can pollute the air.
23. Detoxification
The LIVER along with the digestive tract, kidneys,
bladder, lymphatic system, lungs, and skin are
the major systems/organs that are involved in the
neutralization and elimination of toxins.
Is the process of addressing the natural toxins in the body.
24. Slow Down or Reverse Aging
Nutrient-rich diet: vitamins, minerals, carotenes, flavonoids, fiber, and oils
Reducing sugar, alcohol, saturated fates, high levels of animal fats
Drink water.
Balance hormone levels Gingko Biloba: increases blood and oxygen circulation
to tissues especially the brain
Detoxify body on a continual basis
Exercise: one hour of exercise a day is theorized to add two hours of life
Rest and sleep to regain repair
25. Food Fasting and Longevity
According to Dr. Mark P. Mattson, chief of the laboratory of neurosciences at
the US National Institute on Aging, fasting every other day (intermittent
fasting) shows beneficial effects in mice as strong as those of caloric-
restriction diets, and a small study conducted on humans at the University of
Illinois at Chicago indicates the same results.
Do not fast without the advice of your doctor.
26. Happiness-Health Connection
Dutch sociologist Ruut Veenhoven
found that happiness appears to
protect against illness.
The most satisfied people gained an
extra 7.5 to 10 years of life. That life
extension is equivalent to giving up
cigarettes by age 35.
27. Power of Laughter
Lower blood pressure
Increase vascular blood flow and oxygenation of the blood
Give a workout to the diaphragm and abdominal, respiratory, facial,
leg, and back muscles
Reduce certain stress hormones such as cortisol and adrenaline
Increase the response of tumor- and disease-killing cells such as
Gamma-interferon and T-cells
Defend against respiratory infections–even reducing the frequency
of colds–by immunoglobulin in saliva.
Increase memory and learning; in a study at Johns Hopkins
University Medical School, humor during instruction led to
increased test scores
Improve alertness, creativity, and memory
28. 7 Exercise Reasons -Mayo Clinic
No. 1: Exercise controls weight
No. 2: Exercise combats health
conditions and diseases
No. 3: Exercise improves mood
No. 4: Exercise boosts energy
No. 5: Exercise promotes better
sleep
No. 6: Exercise puts the spark back
into your sex life
No. 7: Exercise can be fun

Notes de l'éditeur
Good Afternoon, Everyone! I’m very pleased to see you here today. The goal of this seminar is to provide practical and useful information to help you lead happier and healthier lifestyles and to make a change in your life! Who in this room is going to make a positive change this year to their health?
Here is our agenda for today.
Health is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity but 100% optimal functioning. The state of optimal physical, emotional, biochemical and social well being.
Man made chemicals produce toxins in your system. Some of the major causes of toxins are preservatives, drugs, food additives, antibiotics, hormones and pesticides. All of the above are in many of the foods we eat. Look at the LABELS. Eat whole foods.
If your doctor does not prescribe it, you probably do not need it. Symptoms are not necessarily bad. They are indicators that there is an underlying problem.
All of you have eaten foods with all of the above from time to time, maybe a lot, if you could see inside your cells…
Inside of all grocery stores, markets and health food stores wheat is everywhere. It is in almost every packaged food to some degree. The public is not informed of the serious dangers of this ‘common food’. The role of wheat in human disease is not apparent, but it is there and big as life! The hypnotic and addictive properties of this grain are creating serious health problems most unknown. You’ve heard of those sayings this is your brain on drugs? Well this is your body on wheat.
SUGAR SHOCK™ is a mood-damaging, personality-bending, health-destroying, confusion-creating constellation of symptoms affecting millions of people worldwide. Considerable research reveals that repeatedly over-consuming sweeteners, dessert foods, and culprit, quickie carbs (such as white rice, French bread, chips, etc.) wreaks havoc on your blood sugar levels, overstimulates insulin release, triggers inflammation, and could contribute to more than 140 health problems, including obesity, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and "brain fog."
No energy, no exercise, headaches, compromised immune system, and many others. We are poisoning ourselves to death, living sedentary lifestyles, overeating, and getting no nutrition. You can be extremely overweight and malnourished at the same time. We are poisoning ourselves to death, living sedentary lifestyles, overeating, and getting no nutrition. You can be extremely overweight and malnourished at the same time.
A healthy body will fight disease like this.
The damage is done can I reverse it?
Or our internal immune system will attack it. How do we keep up a healthy immune system and survive this toxic world?
This is white blood cells attacking a cancer cells.
A healthy body will fight disease like this.
The body needs to have a balanced pH to fight disease. Over acidity, which can become a dangerous condition that weakens all body systems, is very common today. It gives rise to an internal environment conducive to disease, as opposed to a pH balanced environment which allows normal body function necessary for the body to resist disease. A healthy body maintains adequate alkaline reserves to meet emergency demands. When excess acids must be neutralized our alkaline reserves are depleted leaving the body in a weakened condition. A pH balanced diet, according to many experts, is a vital key to health maintenance.
Look for the serving size, calories, the amount of sugar and sodium. The ingredients must be listed in descending order. The rule of thumb is if you can’t pronounce it do not eat it.
The worst additives are artificial flavorings, colorings and sweeteners, BHT, BHA and TBHQ, Brominated Vegetable Oil, High Fructose Corn Syrup, MSG, Olestra Shortening, Hydrogenated and Partially Hydrogenated Oils, Sodium Nitrate, and Nitrate.
“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.”
80% of your diet should be fruits and vegetables. Avoid any processed foods.
The real food is around the edges of all supermarkets.
The shelves in the middle usually have the longest shelf life. Processed food lasts a long time.
Balance your diet. Eat a variety of foods to insure good health. Do not eat the same things over and over. You wouldn’t want to wear the same blouse everyday would you? Or watch the same movie? Your body gets tired of eating the same food over and over again. Your body needs variety. Variety is the key to good health.
Baking Soda is one of the best products on the market today for cleaning, brushing your teeth, mix in your shampoo, and many other things. Apple Cider Vinegar is also excellent for cleaning floors and mirrors.
Where have you been?
Aging is an inevitability that each of us face from the cradle to the grave.
For centuries, the general population has been preoccupied with the aging process and "showing their age." Likewise, the scientific community has been preoccupied with researching the aging process.
The maximum life span for humans appears to be about 120 years. Reaching that potential involves reducing the causes of all premature death, which is the responsibility of every person whose goal is to increase their longevity or reverse the aging process (anti-aging).
The term anti-aging refers to improving the health factors to achieve a healthy physiology faster than the aging process determined by our DNA.
Two Theories of Aging
Programmed Theory
This theory centers around the telomere or DMA cap-the genetic clock that determines how long the DNA can reproduce in a new cell and repair cellular and DNA damage.
Damage Theory
The damage theory is based on the concept that aging is a function of how much accumulated damage is done to cells and DNA.
Both theories seem to be at work in every human and they determine when a person will die of "natural causes."
Much research has been directed at the control of genetically programmed aging, yet there still exists no way to alter this programming.
The focus on anti-aging is on reducing factors that cause damage to cells and DNA (oxidation, toxins, stress, infections, and electromagnetic frequencies) and providing building blocks for the body to heal and repair.
I read a book on fasting and it was a very slim book. No really; short-term human trials showed weight loss. The side effect was that the participants felt cranky during the three-week trial. According to the study conducted by Dr. Eric Ravussin, "Alternate-day fasting may be an alternative to prolonged diet restriction for increasing the life span.”
Take time out to have fun! In 19 research projects involving populations chosen independently of their health status, ratings of mood, happiness, and life satisfaction at the beginning of a study had a large and positive impact on the chance a person was alive at the end of the follow-up period.
Physical stress refers to a physical reaction of the body to various triggers. The pain experienced after surgery is an example of physical stress. Physical stress often leads to emotional stress, and emotional stress often occurs as physical discomfort (e.g., stomach cramps). Stress itself is not bad, it is the way we deal with the stress that leads to triumph over a situation or despair.
Your nervous system is the communication center of your body. Communication from your brain to every cell, organ, gland, muscle, immune system, etc… your nervous system must be working well for your body to work well. What is the point of eating well if your nervous system isn’t telling digestion what to do? What is the point of sleep if the nervous system isn’t building good restorative cells? What is the point of exercising / stress management or trying to lose weight if the nervous system isn’t communicating well with glands, hormones, immune system?
