10 Step Action Plan

10 STEP ACTION PLAN
Make these simple additions to your life and watch your health improve.

1. ADD FRESHLY SQUEEZED VEGETABLE JUICES INTO YOUR DAY!
“Freshly extracted vegetable juices are easy to absorb into the blood system - it’s the ultimate fast food - it is the 15
minute nutrient express to health!” - Jason Vale. Try celery, cucumber, parsley, lemon and pear (or apple).

2. DETOX YOUR BODY WITH GREEN VEGETABLES & GELATINOUS PLANT FOODS.
“Cleansing our body is not difficult, it is going to require high quality green chlorophyl-rich plant food and being out in nature. Also
gelatinous plant foods like aloe vera, seaweeds and chia seeds, these gels move through our intestinal tract absorbing toxins and passing
them through the colon”- Daniel Vitalis. Try the juice above or blending some chia seeds into your favorite smoothie.

3. ADD PARSLEY & CILANTRO INTO YOUR DIET.
“Parsley cleanses your entire blood supply and it also gives you fresh breath, it contains so much chlorophyl that it cleanses the whole system.
Cilantro (coriander) binds with heavy metals, many people are exposed to mercury poisoning through their dental amalgams.
Cilantro binds with the mercury and eliminates it from the body so it doesn’t get lodged in your brain cells.” - Mike Adams.

4. ADD CULTURED FOODS INTO YOUR DIET.
“Yogurt, sauerkraut, kim chi and other fermented foods, we use these foods to help us with good
digestion as they replenish the good bacteria that colonize our intestinal tract” - Daniel Vitalis

5. EAT YOURSELF BEAUTIFUL!
“Look for foods that create beauty from the inside out. Instead of coating yourself in chemical laden
beauty products, why not try to get healthy skin from the foods you eat.” - David Wolfe

6. DISSOLVE STRESS IN YOUR DAILY LIFE!
“"e number one best way to digest stress hormones is sleep, deep sleep metabolizes excess cortisol and epinephrine.
"e second thing that digests stress hormones is exercise, just taking a long walk is enough. Laughter also decreases
stress hormones. Have some funny movies lying around!” - Dr Christiane Northrup

7. USE THE POWER OF VISUALIZATION.
“Visualization is like a language that you can use to talk to your subconscious. Make a visual image of the
way you like to look, let your subconscious absorb it and imagine yourself in that body.” - Jon Gabriel

8. TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE WITH LOVE!
“"e concept of loving yourself is the key to all of it. On a post it-note write “I accept myself unconditionally right now”
and post it on the bathroom mirror and twice a day look deep into your eyes and say it to yourself. Do this for
30 days and a#er day 28 you will have planted a new affirmation.” - Dr Christiane Northrup

9. ADD HEALTHY FATS INTO YOUR DIET.
“Ge$ing the right kind of fat in your diet is important. Cheap low grade fats like corn oil, soybean oil and canola oil are not
good for us in the long term. Partially hydrogenated fats are the worst, found in cookies and crackers,
margarine and bu$er spreads, these are highly processed and damaged fats. Healthy fats are the natural fats found in
avocado, chia seeds and wild caught salmon, high in anti-in%ammatory omega 3 fa$y acids” - Mike Adams

10. AVOID ASPARTAME, MSG, HFCS & HEAVILY PROCESSED DIET AND FAT FREE PRODUCTS.
Keep an eye out for the following E numbers and avoid them like the plague! Aspartame (E951) & MSG (E621).
High Fructose Corn Syrup does not have an ‘e’ number so watch out for it by name. When you’re shopping
make sure to read labels and become and informed consumer.

Grounding

When you excessive too much especially using equipment like treadmills etc you cause a lot of free radicals to flood because there are exposed to EMF's (Electro Magnetic Field), and one way to help from this is to stay "grounded" while exercising.

Can electromagnetic fields (EMF) from power lines, home wiring, airport and military radar, substations, transformers, computers and appliances cause brain tumors, leukemia, birth defects, miscarriages, chronic fatigue, headaches, cataracts, heart problems, stress. nausea, chest pain, forgetfulness, cancer and other health problems?

Numerous studies have produced contradictory results, yet some experts are convinced that the threat is real.

Ancient Secrets for Super-Rejuvination: How to Effortlessly Re-Charge Your Body and Mind for Maximum Healing and Regeneration! David Wolfe LIVE at the Longevity Now® Conference 2011

Re-Charge Your Body and Mind for Maximum Healing and Regeneration!

Don't use products while they're recharging (something I need to remember with my ipad and emjoy). You get blasted with as high as 12-15 volts! As opposed to .2 or.12 volts unplugged.  And eating Raw foods stimulates the right brain to be dominant! Finally I hear the reason why Raw foodist can thrive on less sleep!  I've read it in so many sources but no one knows or explains why. Also suggested is doing a hand stand to rejuvenate adrenaline...that's great because it was suggested for blood flow in the scalp to aid hair growth so it already became a part of my day:) To shut adrenaline off you just lay down, when you do a handstand/headstand you shut it off so rapidly it rejuvenates you (this is part of yoga).

Very interesting- discusses pillows! and the need to be completely horizontal to actually turn off adrenaline (hmm I don't know how well I could adjust to no pillow but I guess I will try!) It also suggest when sleeping on your side use your arm (it's the right size for your neck support). He also mentions sleeping on your back or stomach without a pillow (that I actually do, when I sleep on my tummy I toss my pillow).  He also explains why rest aids in healing...and Grounding. Heaven+Earth =Heart

When sleeping- sleep in dark room, don't eat right before sleep, don't have sweet drinks before bed.

What is Earthing?

We live on a planet that is alive with natural energies and subtly pulsating frequencies caused by "free electrons." Walking barefoot on the Earth, as humans have done throughout history, naturally discharges electrical stress from our bodies by facilitating the reception of these free electrons up into our system.

The free electrons on the surface of the Earth are easily transferred up, into, and throughout our body as long as there is direct contact with the ground. These electrons restore our body's natural internal electrical stability and rhythms, which in turn, promotes normal functioning our body systems.

This process remedies an electron deficiency, which in turn reduces inflammation (a common cause of disease.) It shifts the nervous system from a stress-dominated mode to one of calmness. By reconnecting to the Earth, you enable your body to return to its normal electical state, which makes you better able to self-regulate and self-heal.

What Can Earthing Do For You?

• Diffuse the inflammation and improve or eliminate the symptoms of many inflammation-related disorders.
• Reduce or eliminate chronic pain.
• Improve sleep in most cases.
• Increase energy.
• Lower stress and promote calmness in the body by cooling down the nervous system and stress hormones.
• Normalize the body's biological rhythms.
• Thin blood and improve blood pressure and flow.
• Relieve muscle tension and headaches.
• Lessen hormonal and menstrual symptoms.
• Dramatically speed healing and help prevent bedsores.
• Reduce or eliminate jet lag.
• Protect the body against potentially health-disturbing environmental electromagnetic fields (EMFs).
• Accelerate recovery from intense athletic activity.

 

Super-Immunity + Anti-Aging

I found this seminar so interesting...it tied into everything I have been learning about raw foods and nutrition.   What first caught my eye about it was the topic of grounding, something Dr. Cassar mentions a lot but I didn't quite have a full understanding of.  A lot of things that sound crazy at first start to make sense.

This series reveals one of the most powerful triggers for weight-regulation, immunity, body fat reduction, and anti-aging... shot at the Longevity Now Conference 2010

Super-Immunity and Anti-Aging with David Wolfe

David Wolfe has spent the last 20 years teaching and traveling the world, educating people on the power of raw food, superfoods, and longevity technologies.

This is the website he refers to when discussing dairy- http://notmilk.com/ 
I will do a blog in the near future about information on dairy in our markets. 

The Real Reason Why We Age - with Dr. Mercola

Did you know you are exposed to 50,000 times more radiation flying during the day than you experience from going through the body scanners at the airport? So fly at night if you have the option.  

 Telomers and their associated biology are a major part of the emerging keys to aging, life span and more importantly health span.  So what is a telomer? Simple functional definition: The biologic time clock or the fuse that represents how much life you have "burned off" and how much you have left.  When you have only 5,000 left you are dead.  As the cells divide as time goes on you lose telomeres...this begins when you are conceived.

 How to Live to 150... and Beyond - with Dr. Dave Woynarowski, MD

Aging is caused by the combined by the combined effects of somatic telomere shortening, stem cell deterioration, an increased mass of sick, dead and dying cells that can no longer be repaired fast enough to keep up with the damage.  That results in the molecular biologic denetic and phenotypical presentations of aging.  In English: decreased vitality, decreased power increase fat decreased muscle mass more wrinkles less sex drive faulty memory, achy joints and generally harder time negotiating through every day life...to name a few.

Lifestyle modifications that may slow telomere degreadation

• Diet and anything that reduces oxidative stress: Antioxidants such as fish oil, glutathione (NAC), carnosine, and CoQ10.  These 4 in particular show promise at preserving telomere length
• Exercise
• Sleep: massively underestimated as a health problem
• Meditation: stress relief and mindfulness
