Soda … The Risks

Posted by docchf on February 22nd, 2012 No Comments

Do you drink soda? Most people are aware that soda is not a healthy beverage. But have you ever considered the real health consequences of drinking soft drinks?

Regular sodas can be sweetened with sugar or high fructose corn syrup, aka corn sugar; diet sodas with aspartame or other artificial sweeteners.

While the adverse health effects are worse with diet drinks, all sodas and energy drinks are harmful to your health.

Here are some of the reasons why …

Soda is empty calories … no nutrients to support you health … and it comes with the added consequence of chemical food additives which are harmful to your health.

Research has shown that drinking soda increases the risk of

obesity
osteoporosis
dental caries and gum disease
high blood pressure
stroke
dehydration
insomnia

In addition, soda is so caustic that it can be used as a degreaser, a rust remover and a toilet bowl cleaner.

UK Teen Lives—and Almost Dies—on Chicken Nuggets

Posted by docchf on February 2nd, 2012 Comments Off

“Many of you may have seen the Morgan Spurlock documentary Super Size Me in which Mr. Spurlock did nothing but eat fast-food for 30 days straight. The movie chronicles the horrible physical and emotional changes that occurred, and is a scathing indictment on the entire fast-food industry.

“Now, it seems, a teenager from the UK has unwittingly recreated the scenario first shown in the documentary. Sarah Irvine has reportedly eaten little else but chicken nuggets since the age of 2. As a result, the 17-year-old was recently hospitalized after she collapsed at work.

The truth of the mater is that kids learn to eat what they are taught to eat. If you feed your child only healthy foods, they will choose their favorites from healthy foods and no matter what they choose it will be healthy.

True Health

Posted by docchf on February 2nd, 2012 Comments Off

Health is more than physical well being. It’s more than eating the right foods, using healthy products on your skin, in your home and yard. It really has to do with your whole being … your body, mind and spirit.

How can you tell if you’re healthy in body, mind and spirit?

Do you have balance in your life?
Are you healthy?
Are you happy?
Do you feel peaceful?
Are you living the life you were meant to live?

If you can’t give yourself a 10 in each of the categories above – and who can – then keep reading …

Big Livestock Wins the Right to Treat Cows Inhumanely

Posted by docchf on January 31st, 2012 Comments Off

“As reported by CNN, the Supreme Court struck down a California state law that would have required livestock operations in that state to humanely treat downed livestock. The California law was enacted in 2009 after the humane society shot footage (beware, this footage is graphic and disturbing) of downed cows being bulldozed and hosed.”

The Truth About Organic Food …

Posted by docchf on January 10th, 2012 Comments Off

Just Because It Says Organic On The Label Does NOT Mean It’s Healthy

When we see organic on the label, it’s almost automatic that we assume organic is healthier.

While it’s true that genuine organic food, produced the way organic food was meant to be, is really the healthiest, there are some loopholes or gray areas where what you see is NOT what you get.

This One’s For You

Posted by docchf on January 3rd, 2012 Comments Off

Are you a junk food junkie? … diehard or just occasional?

Do you know that junk food is addictive?

In fact, studies have shown that the changes that occur in the brains of those addicted to junk food are the same as the changes that occur in those addicted to cocaine.

In addition, the longer you eat junk food, the more of it you need to get that same “high” to satisfy your addiction.

And … the more junk food you eat, the more nutrient deficient you become. In other words, the unhealthier you get and the greater your chances of obesity, diabetes, heart disease and cancer.

What can you do?

The most important thing to do if you eat junk food is to first acknowledge that it is destroying your health and that it is time NOW to make a change.

But first, you need to change your mindset. If you don’t want to change your eating habits, no matter how hard you try, you will NOT make permanent changes.

How do you change your mind when

you really like the way the junk food tastes?
all your friends are still eating it?
you see it everywhere you go … at the grocery store , in vending machines, at snack bars, etc.?

Ask yourself these questions …

How do I feel?
Would I like to feel better?
Would I like to look better, be thinner?
What would I like to do that I cannot do now because I don’t have the energy, or I’m not physically fit enough or healthy enough?
Who do I know that has cancer, diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure? Do I want the same for me?
Am I living the life that I want? Could I have better if I were healthier?
Can I do all the things I would like to do?
Am I heading down the path of disease?

If you can find just one little thing that is a motivating factor for you to start to change, that’s all you need to get started.

Answer the questions above. When you have your motivating factor, get Your Personal Food Planner and follow the program.

When you’re choosing healthier foods to eat, and eliminating the unhealthy ones, it’s important to start removing the foods that you’re most ready to give up first and substitute healthy foods you know you like or you would like to try.

After you’ve let go of the first few unhealthy foods and found healthy substitutes you enjoy, it will be easier to continue to eliminate the unhealthy and add healthy ones.

This will be a process. It will work to change your eating habits permanently if you follow the program. You can go as fast or slow as you like – you should be doing something every day – until you get to the point where healthy eating is just a part of your life and you don’t have to give it a second thought.

So, go get

Your Personal Food Planner
your step-by-step program to eliminate unhealthy foods from your diet and add healthy foods
your Healthy Eating E-Class to guide you in making healthy food choices.

Don’t think of this as a diet. Think of it as an adventure that is not only going to help you feel better, but also give you the energy to go after some of life’s pleasures that you’ve been avoiding because you just didn’t have the gusto anymore.

Even better, get your friends and family to join you and make it a really healthy adventure – to a new you - for all of you.
