My method is simple
It’s about removing what is harmful and adding in what is beneficial. About
understanding that the environment you bathe your genes in determines how
those genes are expressed. So what you eat, how much chemical and toxic
exposure you’ve had, what stresses you tolerate, what you believe, how
you think, how much love you give and get and how you move are critical.
I believe that with the right diet, exercise, good sleep, stress management and
appropriate supplementation, you can take control of your health…it’s never too
late.
Here are my top ten tips for healthier living - starting right now
- Stop or cut down radically on sugar, processed foods, refined and junk food.
- Eat a protein and phyto-nutrient rich breakfast to get going and keep going.
- Try to eat a variety of different foods, the more colorful, the better. Choose organic,
fresh, seasonal and local whenever possible.
- Get adequate restful sleep – between 6 – 8 hours. Make your room as dark as
possible and if you cannot darken your room completely, wear an eye mask.
- Take some quiet time for yourself and if you can, develop a meditation practice
that helps manage stress.
- Become an educated consumer. Read labels to avoid buying products with
ingredients you cannot pronounce or understand and Try to choose “cleaner”,
chemical-free household and personal care products.This will help minimize your
exposure to toxins.
- Stay physically active and exercise regularly.
- Keep flexible in both body and mind.
- Find meaning in your life and keep connected to others.
- Fortify yourself against environmental contaminants, depleted food sources and the effects of stress on your body, by supplementing the nutrients that we find hard to get enough of in our diet alone.
Take care and be well,
