Besides, everyone likes lists, right?
Here are my top ten principles for winning the health race and achieving optimal health and vitality:
- Eat organic foods whenever possible.
- Fall asleep between 10 pm and 11 pm.
- Wake up between 6 am and 7 am.
- Practice Parasympathetic - dominant activity (ie. Yoga, QiGong, meditation, etc). Yeah, I used to think this was a quack too. Get over it, because these activities have MASSIVE health benefits.
- Cut the C.R.A.P. - Caffiene, Refined/processed foods, Alcohol, and Pasturized dairy.
- Eat right for your metabolic type: Some people are carb types, some are protien types, some are mixed types (Of course I am simplifying). Know what type you are and eat accordingly!
- Recognize the foods that you are intolerant to. Look into having a test like LEAP MRT done. If you don't want to do that, try cutting out all grains, dairy, corn, soy, and citrus fruits.
- Don't eat anything that comes in a box.
- Eat 4-6 meals per day, consuming protien, fats, and carbohydrates according to your metabolic type every 3-4 hours.
- Do what you love and love what you do. Happy people are always healthier people.
In coming posts I will expand on many of these topics and touch on many others.
Stay tuned!
