Happy ThanksGiving FOOD TIPS

The HOLLIDAYS are here again, and we all know
how fast those extra 10 lbs can creep up on us
from Thanksgiving thru New Years.

As if this season wasn’t stressful enough, with
getting ready for visitors, buying presents, and
entertaining the kids during school breaks, who has
the extra energy to add waistline worries to the
list of things to do?

Most of us let ourselves go….just a little… and then
spend the first few months of the new year trying to
shed those holiday pounds.

Well, no more New Year’s weight loss resolutions!

I’ve compiled some great tips for you to print and
read each day that will help you not only keep your
figure during the holidays, but may also help you shed
a few pounds in the process and MOST of all for
YOU TO HAVE OPTIMUM HEALTH.

Imagine that! Wouldn’t it be nice to have a different
New Year’s resolution this year? Something other than
losing weight?

1. DRINK HALF YOUR BODY WEIGHT IN OUNCES

This brings us to our second point.
Along with taking a daily fiber supplement,
increasing your water intake is one of the most
beneficial steps you can take for improving your
health and controlling your weight.

Try replacing juice, soda and alcoholic beverages
with water as often as possible. This might not be
easy during the holidays but every little bit helps.

If you are consuming alcohol or a lot of coffee,
it is even more important to increase your water
intake since alcohol and caffeinated beverages can
cause dehydration and increase acidity in the body.

Water not only suppresses your appetite, but it also
helps to metabolize stored fat into usable energy.
Please note that if you are very active or overweight,
you might need more than 8 glasses of water per day.

3. OBSERVE THE PRINCIPLES THE OF FOOD COMBINING

I have practiced this tip for over 12 years and it has
helped me with digestion.especially since i have celiac
disease.

The five course meals we eat during the holidays can
really reap havoc to our digestive system.

Especially when we are mixing many different kinds of
food that our bodies are not used to consuming on a
regular basis.
The principles of food combining teach us how certain
foods work together to enhance, and ease, digestion.

One rule of thumb is to avoid eating carbohydrates and
flesh protein together in the same meal. For example,
if you are having a big juicy steak or a big slice of
turkey, instead of reaching for rice, potatoes or any
other carb, you can enjoy these meats with a fresh salad
or some steamed vegetables.

Another food-combining tip: have your fruit first thing in
the morning on an empty stomach and wait a much after your
meal to enjoy dessert. Your food is not running away so pace
yourself, besides the food taste best the next day.

4. WATCH THOSE CARBS

Based on your blood type carbs made from wheat, barley and
rye may be bad for you. This is common for Type O blood
are naturally avoid grain that contain gluten. It is like
putting diesel in a car that should use gasoline, when people
these carbs it then develops in to celiac disease,

The sad thing is millions have this disease have the disease
and do not know it.This is the MOST misdiagnosed condition ever

(I will share more in depth on the next issue of
my news letter in two weeks.)

To subscribe go to www.HowYouCanHaveOptimumHealth.com

Moderation is Key, over consumption of refined carbohydrates,
such as white bread, pasta, rice, and sweets, causes your
insulin levels to rise, and those carbs are quickly converted
to glucose in the body.

This would not be a problem if you were doing hard physical
labor and using this glucose as energy, but since most of us
are pretty sedentary, especially after those big holiday meals,
our bodies end up storing this extra glucose as fat.

Try to choose complex carbs instead, such as brown rice, whole
grain bread and pasta, bran, oats, etc. These foods are high in
fiber and help slow down food digestion and glucose absorption.
They will also leave you feeling full for longer.

4. Take a digestive enzyme with your meals

When you’re eating many different kinds of food at the
same time, your body is not able to produce the different
digestive enzymes required for the proper digestion of all
these foods.

As a result, we start to feel bloated, heavy, and gassy
after meals. To keep this from happening,

KNOW your Blood

IF Type O AVOID GLUTEN FOODS.

Foods from wheat, barley and rye.

This is like putting the wrong octane in your car

You can then take two digestive enzyme capsules with
your meals. Your food is thoroughly broken down with
the help of these enzymes, and you are less likely to
feel hungry and overeat.

5. USE SMALLER PORTIONS

Today, with our super-sized beverages and food servings,
it’s easy to get fooled into thinking that we are eating
less than we actually are.

We have gotten so used to these huge helpings of food
that we forget what a normal portion looks like.

To stop yourself from overeating during the holidays,
try using smaller plates to trick your mind into thinking
that you are eating more than you actually are.

A small plate full of food might leave
you more satisfied sooner than a large plate that
is only half full….

6. AVOID SECONDS

It takes about 20 minutes for your brain to signal your
body that it is full. Trust yourself that the small plate
you’ve filled with food is enough to satisfy your dietary
needs.

If you don’t trust
yourself, then wait 20 minutes, and if you’re
still feeling hungry,
then, and only then, reach for seconds.

7. CHEW YOUR FOOD SLOWLY

As a child I was taught to chew each 32 times, and since
digestion begins in the mouth, chewing your food well is
essential for proper digestion and nutrient absorption.

Chewing slowly will also give your
body a chance to signal that it is full much sooner, and
hopefully get you to stop eating before you’ve eaten too much.

Basically, the slower you eat the less food it takes to fill
you up. People who eat slower tend to eat less and also weigh
less.


8. I LIKE TO MOVE IT MOVE IT PHYSICALLY FIT

The last thing you want to think about during the holidays
is exercise, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t get moving
for at least a few minutes each day. Spending time with family
or traveling can make it difficult to make time for physical
fitness.

But, as we are eating more than usual, we can easily burn
some extra calories by adding a bit of exercise a few times a
week, even if it’s just a brisk walk outside or a quick exercise
video.

9. DON'T WORRY BE HAPPY....

Being overly rigorous about what you’re eating and worrying
about gaining weight after every bite can actually make you
more likely to gain weight. Try to not to Worry and enjoy
the holidays. Many of us tend to overeat when under stress
and pressure. If you do gain a couple of pounds you can
always cleanse your body with the colon and get back on
the right track

10. TAKE A SCOOP FIBER EACH MORNING

This is something I’ve been doing for more than twenty
years now in order to stay regular and to help keep my
weight under control.

I recommend one scoop before breakfast and a seasonal
colon cleanse. Fiber helps reduce your appetite by giving
you a full feeling before meals. It also reduces the transit
time of food in your bowels as it helps keep things moving
along smoothly and quickly while insuring regular bowel
movements.

I CALL IT SMOOTH MOVE

(I will cover colon cleansing in depth on a future news letter.)

There are two important things to remember when adding
fiber to your diet. First, increase your fiber intake slowly
so your body has time to get used to it, and second, make sure
you are drinking enough glasses of filtered water a daily and
that should be weight specific!

***Ouch My Ear Hurts***

First of all,

I just got caught up in my 8-day cruise

of Trinidad, WI

I became a vegetarian in 1978.
I started vomiting and I really
didn’t know what was wrong
and every once in a while

I would have these vomiting episodes.

So here’s a tip, when my son was 5 years
old the doctor’s office was closed and so
I called a friend who gave me a tip for ear
infections.

Its found in most kitchens and it really works.

It’s ONION JUICE!

Who would think!

Here’s how it works…

You take a medium sized onion at room temp.

I like the juice fresh…

And if the room is chilly warm
it in the microwave for 5 sec

Cut it in half take a fork and
prick the onion until juice forms

then squeeze the onion, like a
lemon directly into the ear.

Within days the ear ache was gone!

How to Survive the Cold and Flu Season

How to Survive the Cold and Flu Season

It's that time of year ...

when the flu and cold bugs are in full force.

More than 108 million flu cases and 62 million
cold cases are reported
in the United States annually.

You hear on the news
how many people have already
died this year from the SWINE FLU.

The sounds of winter -- the wind rustling
through the trees, the cheers at football
games, and, of course, coughing and sneezing!

When the weather turns colder, bothersome cold
viruses again run rampant.

In 2008 Hundreds have contracted the
Swine Flu known as H1 N1 Virus Some Have Died...

******************************************************************

Colds & Flu
Colds are by far the most common illness in the world.
In the United States, 90% of the population will have at least
one cold per year.

The flu is similar, and sometimes has the same symptoms
as a cold, but is often much more severe and lasts longer.



Ah-Choo!
Prepare Yourself for This Cold Season


I want to share with you what you can do to help strengthen
your immune system. Here are a few tips to prepare you and
your family for the onslaught of the cold season, which tends
to run from September until March or April.

While nutritional supplements and homeopathic medicines
may not always prevent disease, they can decrease the severity
and duration of symptoms while boosting immunity - something
that symptom suppressors, such as over the counter remedies,
cannot do.

Who Is At Highest Risk?

A compromised immune system can cause an entire host of more
serious and longer lasting problems than the common cold and
flu bugs.

People with the following conditions may be at
the highest risk autoimmune problems like Fibromyalgia,
lymphomas, and rheumatoid arthritis etc.


If you suffer from allergies and asthma,
you know how imperative it is that you keep
a strong immune system.

There are a number of reasons all of us should be
more serious about Building a strong immune system,
including taking a strong proactive approach to our
health by taking responsibility for our own bodies and
Not waiting for symptoms to occur.


The question you may be asking yourself now is,

"What can I do?"
There are three things that you must do to help body
take care of itself.
1) Cleanse or detoxify for clean blood.
2) Exercise for good circulation
3) Rest Sufficiently

The NEXT STEP is to take is proper nutrition
which feeds, nourishes and supports your body.

Supplement with a good liquid ionic,
Whole-food dietary supplements

The secret to Good Health supplying the
body with over 58 phytonutrients.

Women Over age 40 need- a calcium/ mineral supplement
with supportive nutrients for hormonal imbalance.

I should know I am 48....

These products are NOT just for colds and the flu,
But when
you give the body what it needs or


What it is lacking nutritionally

It takes Care of All HEALTH Challenges.

There are great products that
will help you, so do not waste another day;
Start building your IMMUNE SYSTEM TODAY.

These principles will of control the effect of the Cold or Flu:

Cleanse and Detoxify-

Cleansing the blood makes it clean and toxic free.


Eat Your Fruits and Veggies


Taking a daily multi-vitamin also helps ensure
that you will receive an adequate dose of
minerals and vitamins.

Liquid WHOLE FOOD vitamins are
the best choice and offer more absorption.


Exercise-Circulates the blood rapidly to supply cell
structures with all the necessary building elements.

Rest- to strengthen and regenerate
the weak organs of the body.



On average, a person needs
seven to eight hours of sleep every night.

You may ask why?


Lack of sleep can lower the immune system's
ability to react when needed.
Without sufficient sleep, the immune system is hard-pressed
to keep up with its nightly repair work.

This creates the opportunity for
disease processes to begin.

These are just a few suggestions the fall season
without a runny nose, achy head and persistent cough.

Your doctor tells you what you already know:
"Rest, and drink plenty of fluids."

MORE TIPS



One of the best ways to prevent a cold or flu is
to wash your hands frequently,


Keep them away from your eyes, nose, and mouth.
Avoiding crowds also helps.


Taking over the counter cold medications could be
dangerous to your health.


Read medicine labels carefully.

medications you are taking, cause drowsiness, or be a
health risk for those with certain medical conditions.
