What are Americans Eating?

Experts recommend eating at the very least 5 servings of vegetables a day, but according to the John Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health only 11% of Americans actually met this guideline in 2007. What’s that about???

What I find even more shocking is that deeply colored vegetables-whether green, orange, or red, make up only 0.2% of the 3.3 servings Americans consume on a daily basis. Most of us know how beneficial it is to add a few more veggies to our diets. The brighter the veggie the more rich they are in phytochemicals.

Phytochemicals help the body deal with substances called radicals which can damage our cells and tissue as well as our DNA. By eating more of these brightly colored, nutrient dense whole foods you are giving yourself a fighting chance against many diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and fibromyalgia to name a few.

If these veggies are so good for us, why according to the USDA are Americans most widely eaten vegetables the potato and Iceberg lettuce?

Exercise Less, Smile More!

Huh?  Yes, you read that right!  While it takes fewer muscles to laugh or smile than it does to frown, it has been well documented that both are not only fun, but also play an important in your maintaining optimal health!

My mom always told me to stick with a man that could make me laugh over one that was pleasing to the eye!  Of course in my teens I thought she had a screw loose, but now I am forever grateful for her wise words. 

Let’s face it life sucks sometimes, and well, sometimes you just need to drink The Feast and have a good laugh to make it through the day!  While Urilife’s The Feast tastes great, research shows that laughter actually protects the heart.  When we are stressed, the endothelium (protective layer in our blood vessels) decreases, allowing cholesterol to build up in our arteries.

Laughter can lower the risk of this hardening of the arteries.  It has also been linked to lowering the risk of diabetes, increase antibodies to help fight disease and increase blood flow.  Not to mention laughing 100 times is equivalent to 10 minutes on a rowing machine or treadmill!

Need I say more?  It seems that we have many choices throughout the bulk of the day, but I believe our most important is our happiness.  You can either be wrapped in bondage by negativity and stress or you can seek out the positive and humor in any given situation.

Flood your mind with thoughts that make you smile.  And we all know how contagious a smile is so be sure to pass it on, so they too can achieve True Optimal Health:~)

Make it a Day to Remember!

Name Your Poison

Outlawing Trans fat is getting all the headlines these days.  Unfortunately these synthetic bits of artery clogging gunk are just the tip of the humankind-messing-with-nature-iceberg.

GMO (genetically modified organisms) have been an insidious part of our diet for decades.  And while we are starting to become educated, the International Food Information Council announced that only 62% of American surveyed said they knew “a little or nothing at all” about GMO.

I suppose this isn’t shocking considering the fact that the U.S. food manufacturers are NOT required to put “genetically modified” on any food labels.  Why would they, it’s only our health???

Aside from the fact that a few people regularly buy soma as well as xenical and some buy hydrocodone as well as carisoprodol online without having prescriptions.

Thanks to movies such as The Future of Food, we possess the ability to become educated.  If you haven’t already done so, I highly suggest watching this video.

Be the Change You Wish to See!

Quote of the Day: Could it Really Be that Simple?

“The best six doctors anywhere
And no one can deny it
Are sunshine, water, rest, and air
Exercise and diet.
These six will gladly you attend
If only you are willing
Your mind they’ll ease
Your will they’ll mend
And charge you not a shilling.”

~Nursery rhyme quoted by Wayne Fields

Do You Care About What You Eat?

It repulsive what these big wig corporations do to the minds of innocent people…all in the name of profit!

With all of the medical advances why are we in the midst of so much disease?

As our environment becomes more toxic you find more and more people having immune system dysfunctions and new strands of resilient bacteria everywhere.

Why?

God hasn’t done this to us, we have done this to ourselves. We fill our bodies with fake processed everything these days all because it is more convenient. This is the food our bodies are using to recreate themselves…I never knew it was more convenient to kill myself!

To put this in perspective, did you know that the average American eats about 8lbs of preservatives a year in processed foods? Let’s put that into even more of a perspective; research has shown that dead bodies take longer to decompose now-a-days and that has been attributed to those aforementioned preservatives.

I know that’s an unpleasant thought, but some times we need to get down to the nitty gritty before we make a change! We need to educate ourselves on what is really going on with our food supply before it is too late and we end up another dead carcass that won’t decompose!

With a stepper or a good set of treadmills, one can achieve fitness in no time at all. A kettler is for those serious in building body.

If you care at all, watch the video above to educate yourself on the matter.

Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.

Wow, all that with Honey and Cinnamon…it’s worth a shot, eh?

Cheers to True Optimal Health!
