A Resolution is Not the Solution!

Before you make yet another New Year resolution read this:

So, you have mastered in excuses, PhD’s in New Years resolutions, and taken an Oscar for
your dramatic performance of vowing to commit to those drastic diet and fitness resolutions.

Still somehow, the rewards have yet to manifest your ideal state of health and wellness.
Isn’t it time to simply and without the Oscar winning drama on the ‘why is has not worked
for you’ resolve to take another approach?

The Solution to sustained weight loss and improved health is not in the ‘oh so well intended and so familiarly over ambitious, all too frequently short lived’ infamous resolution!

Most fail miserably with this approach and yet continue to repeat the same pattern year upon year resolving that this time will be different. Does this sound familiar?
Now please don’t get your muscles all flexed in defensiveness over this. I merely want to get your attention and have you realize if what you are doing is not delivering you the results you want it’s time to change your approach. Read on and find out where the key to sustained weight loss really is, for most people are looking in the wrong place or continually attempting to achieve different results doing the same things repeatedly.

Sustained weight loss is not simply ‘in your mouth and your movement’ or merely about what you eat and how much you exercise. It begins in your mind and is nurtured or fed if you will,within the very way you see yourself.

There is not one of the miracle products or any of the fad diets that will see you succeed until you decide you will. However, once this decision becomes ‘your truth - your knowing’ then most any diet will do. In fact once a person chooses a different view of them self, when they can actually see it – see them self as that stronger, healthier and fit person - the process is underway and results are sure to arrive.

To truly shift your perspective of yourself and begin the process of improved health, weight loss and weight management some introspection is suggested. Ask yourself these questions:

To achieve success it is imperative to source out the root of your desired objective (why and what and how), and to picture the results you want to realize. Create a mental image of exactly what it looks and feels like to you – own this image, make it yours, and begin to act like it is already happening, that this is who and how you are.

1) Why do I want to lose weight?
2) What do I feel this will do for me?
3) Do I really believe I can succeed?
4) What is it I need to do?
5) Am I willing to do what it will take?
6) How will I overcome the challenges
and stick to the program?
7) Where will I get support?
8) What does success look and feel like to me?

Think of it like an architect with the ‘resolution’ to build a house. For this to happen, there must be the clear and specific vision of what this house will look like. Specifics such as who is it being built for and how will it be constructed must be established. Plans must be drawn,supplies ordered and a crew scheduled. There must be a succinct plan and that plan must clearly establish the step-by-step process in order to see the realization of this house.

For a person to succeed at weight loss, it is usually necessary to understand what their
relationship to food is and why weight gain has become an issue. In addition, it is necessary to know that the weight loss can and will happen. That architect I mentioned earlier does not ‘try to build a house’; they ‘know’ they will build it. With dieting and weight loss objectives, success is realized when the desired weight loss (or whatever the intention may be such as improved health, lower blood pressure, decreased body fat…) is simply that, ‘a knowing’. It is something you believe to be true.

Decide this for yourself – make the intention for a healthier and happier you and begin to consciously live your life one breath, one mouthful, one activity at a time. Create a mindful knowing and a ‘clear as day’ visual of where you are going, how you want to be, what you will do to get there and how it will feel. Live like you are already in this mode and make it your reality. “As a man think’ith, so shall he be” – Napoleon Hill

Below is a guideline of how to implement this approach and create your own crystal clear,
precise and visualized intention of what it is you want and see for yourself. Remind yourself daily of this great quote I have seen often in my studies yet do not know who to credit:

‘The way we see ourselves, creates the self we see.’
Begin to see your-self as you want to be.

To launch into this improved vision of you:

1) Determine what it is you want be it weight loss/a healthier lifestyle/a stronger
body / disease prevention-reversal….

2) Decide you are ready to do it! Rather than just ‘wanting’ it you have to commit to it
and believe it - know you can do it and you will do it.
Picture yourself fit, healthy and in harmony with life.

3) Make a plan – how will you do this, what and who will provide support, what
potential barriers do you face and how will you overcome them. (What have been
your biggest challenges prior to now?)

4) Decide what success will look like and what will be your milestones/mini goals
along the way. (In addition to weight loss, consider improved moods, strength, self
worth, energy, sleep quality, skin condition, health issues from acne, eczema,
allergies…

5) Plan on how you will acknowledge and reward yourself for ongoing successes –
not with food; consider spa treatments/massage/new clothes/a mini get away,etc…
Though you may be constantly told otherwise: Sustained weight loss is not simply ‘in your

mouth and your movement’ or merely about what you eat and how much you exercise.

Below are seven great tips to get you revamping your nutritional approach:

SEVEN GOLDEN RULES OF HEALTHY FOODS AND WHY TO HONOR THEM EAT A RAINBOW ASSORTMENT OF VEGGIES AND FRUITS WITH AT LEAST 1/3 UNCOOKED.

Helps prevent many chronic diseases (heart/cancer/strokes/macular degeneration/cataracts…

Provides full spectrum of plant pigments for powerful antioxidant effects.

Provides photo chemicals {carotene’s/chlorophyll/flavonoids/fiber/enzymes) to fight disease and slow down the aging process as well as Vits C, E, and Selenium that work in harmony with antioxidants to prevent free radical damage to cells.

AVOID REFINED CARBOHYDRATES INCLUDING:

ALL refined sugars and white flours of any kind: bread, cereal, pasta, cakes, cookies, crackers, rice…

These all trigger a rapid rise in blood sugar causing the body to boost insulin secretion which can lead to obesity, poor blood sugar regulation, Type 2 Diabetes and IBS.

CHOOSE ORGANIC FOODS

Buy Organic produce and most importantly – Organic: Meats, Diary (cheese and milk), Soy and Eggs.

These have the highest concentration of pesticides and are linked to cancers and other diseases.

REDUCE MEAT AND DAIRY CONSUMPTION

Studies confirm the higher ones intake of meat and other animal products, the higher the risk of heart disease and cancers such as colon, breast, prostate, liver and lung.

Animal products are void of antioxidants, fibre and photo-chemicals that protect us from cancer

They have an excess of saturated fats, hormones, antibiotics and carcinogenic compounds such as pesticides. When grilled, fried or broiled they are even more dangerous.
EAT THE RIGHT FATS

ELIMINATE: Fake Fats/Trans Fats and Long Chain Saturated Fats and deep fried foods

Reduce intake of Omega 6 fatty acids found in meat, most vegetable oils including soy, sunflower,safflower and corn. These are associated with increased risk for cancer and numerous additional health issues such as heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, skin disorders and diabetes.

Over-consumption of these is usually associated with deficiency of mono-unsaturated fats from nuts and seeds, olive and canola oil along with Omega 3’s from fish, flax, hemp and walnut oils.

REDUCE SODIUM INTAKE AND INCREASE POTASSIUM

High sodium and low potassium intake can cause high blood pressure and increase risk of cancer

Keep intake of sodium below 1500 mg and increase potassium w/ a natural foods diet abundant in vegetables and some fruits.

DRINK PURIFIED WATER – LOTS OF IT

Body average of water is 10 gallons with a minimum of 6 glasses per day to cover what is lost in urination, sweat and breathing.

Mild dehydration impairs physiological and performance responses.
Top Food Allergens - Wheat, Corn, Soy and Dairy. Avoid completely or consume in moderation!

What Saves us from Free Radicals? Anti-Oxidants!

Anti-oxidants are stable molecules that have the ability to donate electrons to free radicals without becoming free radicals themselves. The most popular anti-oxidants are Vitamin C, E, A, and Selenium.  Recent studies have shown that anti-oxidants in fruits and vegetables may have a more positive effect on free radicals because they contain not only the above mentioned vitamins and minerals, but thousands of phyto-nutrients that work synergistically to combat the damage.

The synthetic formulation of these nutrients lacks the important co-factors and phyto-nutrients found naturally in foods.  For this reason, it is recommend that patients increase their anti-oxidant status by taking whole food organic anti-oxidants in supplement form.

Some of the well studied phyto-chemical anti-oxidants found in foods include:
Carotenoids - Brightly colored fruits and vegetables (carrots, red peppers, sweet potatoes, tomatoes) are rich in carotenoids.

Different carotenoids may be more beneficial than others. They include:

Xanthophylls. Including lutein and zeaxanthin are found in the lenses of the eye and have proven effective in the prevention of cataract formation in the eyes. Xanthophylls can be obtained from dark green leafy vegetables (such as spinach), broccoli, and eggs.

Lycopene is an important carotenoid that may also play an important role in eye health as a person ages. Tomatoes are a good source of lycopene.

Beta carotene is the most widely studied carotenoid and is a powerful antioxidant.
Flavonoids - Flavonoids are compounds that are commonly found in nature and are grouped as; flavonols, flavones, flavanones, isoflavones, catechins, anthocyanidins and chalcones. Over 4,000 flavonoids have been identified and are usually found in fruits, vegetables. The flavonoids have been vastly studied because of their potential beneficial effects on human health-they have been reported to have antiviral, anti-allergic, anti-platelet, anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor and antioxidant activities.

Flavanones: Found in citrus fruits neutralizes free radicals and prevents cellular degeneration.

Flavanols: Found in Green tea, apples and grapes. Maintains heart health and circulation.

Anthocyanidins: Found in Berries, Cherries and Grapes. Maintains brain function and increases cellular anti-oxidant function.

Proanthocyanidins: Found in cranberries, cocoa, apples, grapes,  wine. Maintains healthy urinary tract.

Isothiocyanates-Powerful anti-oxidants found in cruciferous vegetables with anti-tumor
effects.

Sulforaphane: Found in cauliflower, broccoli, kale, cabbage Phenols.

Caffeic, Ferulic acid: Found in apples, pears, citrus fruits-maintain heart health and vision.

The ORAC Scale

Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities of different foods. It was developed at the National Institute of Aging in Baltimore, Maryland.

The following is a list of fruits and vegetables with the highest ORAC values.

Fruits: Goji berries, Acai berries, prunes, bilberries, blueberries, cranberries, pomegranates, acerola cherries, apples, pineapples, grapes, green tea, papaya.

Vegetables: Kale, garlic, spinach, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, beets, red peppers, tomatoes, carrots

Preventing Cancer by Lawrence Wilson,MD
© December 2009, The Center For Development

Cancer is often a dreaded word.  It need not be, however. Improving your diet, lifestyle and attitudes, along with a daily ‘spa lifestyle’ will go a long way to preventing this condition and others as well.  Here are a few easy things anyone can do to minimize, though not always prevent, most cancers.

REST AND SLEEP MORE

Cancer grows best in tired, toxic and nutritionally depleted bodies. Strong, healthy bodies do not support cancer growth nearly as much. This fact is rarely taught to doctors or patients.

Most people today are either tired or completely exhausted. “Tired” is here defined as those who get less than nine hours of rest or sleep daily. This does not mean you must sleep nine hours at once, if you will take a nap during the day.

In fact, if you nap in the afternoon, as is the custom in many nations, you can probably get by on eight hours of sleep, though it is not optimal in most instances. Less than this much sleep, however, is asking for health problems.

AVOIDING PHYSICAL TOXINS

WATER. Tap water, if consumed for decades, is a cause of cancer. Most wells and all city water systems are toxic to some degree, and often quite toxic. This is beyond any doubt, regardless of what you are told by the media or other health authorities.

Almost all tap water contain too much toxic metals such as lead, cadmium, arsenic and more.

It also often contains hundreds of toxic chemicals. According to government studies, most municipal American city water supplies also contain residues of up to 60 or more
pharmaceutical drugs. Although the quantities are small, these add up if one drinks and bathes in them daily.

Water additives are even worse. Most cities add chlorine, fluorides, copper, aluminum and other toxins to the water. While copper is a necessary mineral, drinking it all the time is not smart.

Aluminum is worse and is associated with dementia and other health concerns. Chlorine is the next worst additive and should be forbidden in the water supply. It is associated with heart disease, cancer and more.

Fluorides may be the most toxic water additives. These are totally useless to prevent tooth decay. This has been demonstrated by numerous studies from many nations. Powerful political forces, along with ignorance, keeps the insanity going, though it has been abandoned in most other nations.

To avoid many degenerative diseases, do your best to avoid drinking or bathing in these toxic chemicals. The only way to do this is to substitute spring or distilled water for the regular tap water. Some people are concerned with the plastics used in the bottles of spring and distilled water.  While there is some residue, most is not bad.  The water should not taste of plastic, however, if the bottles were washed properly before they were filled.

Carbon filters will take out some chlorine, but not fluorides, aluminum and other metals.
Reverse osmosis is a little better as it removes fluorides, but the filters become clogged quickly.  Also reverse osmosis does not seem to hydrate the body well at all. This is why I prefer distilled or quality spring water for drinking.

Also, try to avoid the hundreds of prepared foods made with tap water. They include all commercially-baked breads and even most specialty breads, since the water filters used in most bakeries will not remove most water toxins.

Foods made with tap water also include corn or flour tortillas if prepared in a factory, and hundreds of soups, drinks, canned goods,sauces and much more. This is a challenge for anyone, since the contaminated water has found its way back to the farms and is used to water the crops we eat.

For example, some baby foods and fruit juices have been found to contain 8 to more than 40 parts per million of fluoride, far in excess of the one part per million that is falsely considered “safe”.

Water for bathing should also be pure. To help avoid cancer and other diseases, please do not bath in your fluoridated water any more than necessary. Showers are better than baths, and short showers are the best.

Swimming pools and especially hot tubs are even worse, as they often have even more chlorine, bromine, copper in them, which are readily absorbed through the skin.  Public pools and hot tubs should be avoided altogether. They are the most heavily chlorinated or brominated.  Most also contain high levels of bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms that are not killed by chlorine or bromine.

DRUGS AND COSMETICS

Medical, pharmaceutical, recreational and over-the-counter drugs can shorten your life if you use them on a regular basis when they are not needed for proven medical conditions.

I use this term because many are prescribed for vague complaints or self-medication when more rest, better food, better company or a new job is the real cause of the symptom.

Vaccines are not needed and can be extremely harmful, particularly for babies and children.

While a single vaccine may not ruin one’s health, having them repeatedly is not a good idea.

See the article on vaccinations for more information.  This includes routine flu shots and all others.  The worst for children are combination vaccines that should always be shunned.

Toxin avoidance is a large subject.  Stay away from all poinson metals, in particular.
If you have silver amalgam fillings in your mouth, have them removed unless you have active cancer, and then wait until the cancer is definitely in remission, as amalgam removal can make it worse.  Do not use more toxic products on your body, on your hair, such as hair spray, or anywhere else than are definitely required for your daily life.

DIET

Diet will always be a basic preventive health method, no matter what we are told on the news or by any health authority.  Let us begin with foods to avoid:

Sugars and artificial sweeteners. Any food item that contains sugar or other sweeteners as one of the first four or five ingredients is probably not worth eating.  This includes thousands of items in the marketplace, including even those in health food stores.

Food items that contain sweeteners include almost all candies, cookies, ice creams, cakes, pastries, breads, commercial salad dressing, soups, ketchup, relishes, mustards, and thousands more.

Avoiding sugars is next to impossible if you eat a lot of prepared food, or if you eat in most restaurants. The best way to avoid them is to cook your own food and eat out sparingly and in places that prepare all food fresh.

Also, labels can be deceptive.  Sugars may be labeled sucrose, glucose, liquid sugar, fructose (the worst), maltose, lactose, corn solids, corn syrup, rice syrup, malt extract, honey, fruit juice sweetened or maple syrup, among others.

One artificial sweetener, aspartame, also called Nutrasweet or Equal, is even worse for many, but not all people.  Other artificial sweeteners such as stevia and xylitol may be used in moderation, but are not recommended much, either.  In fact, they often cause more weight gain than sugar, though they do not upset the blood glucose level as much as refined sugars, in most all cases.

White or Wheat Flour. Avoid most all wheat products, as these are very hybridized.
This means they have been altered to produce more food per acre, but not for better nutrition. Whole wheat products are not much better. All wheat today, along with most beef and many dairy products irritate the intestines and damage one’s health for this reason.

Avoid completely all white flour products such as white breads, white flour tortillas, most
pasta, pastries, cakes, cookies and hundreds of other products made with this poor quality food.

Corn used to be an excellent food, but is also highly refined in many instances today.
The best is the organic yellow or the blue corn, including organic blue or yellow corn chips. However, avoid all white corn, which is greatly hybridized and better used for auto fuel. Also avoid corn starch, grits, hominy and other refined corn products.

Soy, chemicals and other processed foods. Soy is not a particularly healthful food, although it has some health benefits.  Avoid all non-fermented soy products, such as soy milk, soy cheese, isolated soy protein in protein powders, hamburger extenders, diet foods and more.

Once again, eat fresh foods and you will be better off. You may, however, eat some fermented soy in tofu, tempeh, soy sauce and miso.

Avoid most chemical additives.  MSG, for example, is served in thousands of restaurant items and even natural food stores under names like Braggs Liquid Aminos.
Avoiding chemicals is practically impossible in most restaurants.

Deep Fried Foods and Especially French Fries. Fried, and especially deep fried foods are hardly healthful today, especially in most restaurants, where the oil sits around for days at a high temperature.   It becomes rancid and polymerized, which forms hydrogenated oils, trans-fatty acids and other damaging chemicals. Avoid this completely if you want the best health you can have.

WHAT TO EAT

Vegetables. Replace all refined foods with large portions of steamed or otherwise cooked, not raw vegetables. Eat a variety of vegetables at least twice daily. Fill half to 2/3 of your plate with cooked vegetables every single day.  They provide plenty of fiber and many nutrients as well.

Fresh is usually best, but frozen peas and green beans are also superb. The best fresh vegetables are turnips, rutabagas, carrots, parsnips, sweet potato and onions.
Other excellent ones include broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, all greens that are cooked lightly, and winter squashes.

Avoid or minimize cucumbers, tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, all sweet peppers and summer squashes.  These are very yin in Chinese terminology and not helpful at all.

They are mainly fruits, because they contain seeds. They also often aggravate certain sensitivities and are associated with joint problems in many people.

Salads. These are becoming more popular, and believe it or not, this is not helpful.
Salads offer much less nutrition than properly cooked vegetables. Most people’s bodies cannot break down the fiber, not enough is eaten, and raw food is often contaminated with germs of many varieties. This is why it is best to eat mainly steamed or otherwise cooked vegetables.

Fruits. Fruit is not that healthful for most people. It is greatly hybridized and genetically modified in many instances. Its sugar content is often too high for most people, and too often it has been sprayed, even if it is labeled organically grown. So eat less fruit and more vegetables if you want the best health.

Red meat and poultry. Lamb, buffalo and wild game are still good meats. Beef is not that healthful, unfortunately, since it is all very hybridized today, though a little is fine once a week, perhaps, for most people. Children may even need more meats than their parents at times. So please do not deprive them of this excellent organic food. All meat should be naturally raised.

Chicken and turkey are excellent foods for most people.  The legs or thighs are usually best, as they contain important fatty acids that are needed by most people.

Fish, if they are small and free from contamination, can be eaten twice or even three times weekly. However, clean fish are rare today, even wild caught salmon, which otherwise is an excellent food. Problems digesting fish are usually caused by toxic metals or chemicals in the food.

Avoid all pig products, as they can harbor parasites that can survive freezing and cooking.

Please avoid total vegetarian diets, although older people can often totally skip the red meats.

All meat should be cooked, but not overcooked!

Dairy Products. Raw, certified dairy is an excellent food for many people.  Avoid all dairy for a while if you are allergic to it.  Regular pasteurized cow’s milk, cheese and yogurt are not very good for many people. Free range eggs are an excellent food for most people.

The yolks should be eaten runny, such as soft-boiled, poached or fried by with runny yolks.

Supplements. To help prevent degenerative diseases, include in your daily fare some fish oil or cod liver oil, kelp a digestive aid, calcium and magnesium, and use sea salt and never table salt.

Most people can drink 10-12 ounces of fresh or store-bought carrot juice, and not more, every day.  You may add some leafy greens to it as well.  Organically grown is a superior agricultural system, though it is not perfect. Quality organic products contain many more nutrients in most instances, while having fewer toxic chemicals in them as well.

COLON CLEANSING

This may seem odd in an article on cancer prevention, but it is the absolute truth.

Digestive difficulties, especially constipation, can lead to cancer.  This has been shown in studies that demonstrate that when feces remains in the body, some of the poisons it contains are reabsorbed into the liver.  If this continues for years, the liver’s ability to detoxify the substances diminishes and the stage is set for cancer.  Daily coffee enemas or a series of colonic irrigation’s would help most people’s health today.

X-RAYS AND CELL PHONE EXPOSURE

X-rays and all other ionizing radiation exposure contribute to cancer. This includes medical, dental, and many other sources of radiation. Exposures include long airplane flights and even too much sun exposure, with or without sunscreens.

Cell phones and cordless phones give off microwaves that are not helpful either. Use these as little as possible for the best health. Those with cancer should avoid them totally as they further weaken the body.

Computer screens are less than ideal as well. Sit back as far as possible from your computer or use a smaller screen if possible. Consider using a backlit or plasma television to view your computer if you work on it all day at home.

SAUNA THERAPY

Near infrared lamp sauna therapy is another excellent way to help avoid cancer today.  You

can easily put one together for several hundred dollars.  We also sell one on this website that is very reasonable in cost by clicking here.  Operating costs are extremely low for a lamp sauna because it is a far more efficient heating system than either traditional saunas or far infrared saunas.

Saunas all remove almost all toxic metals and hundreds of toxic chemicals.  They are also comfortable if they are the infrared type.  However, you must use it at least three times weekly for 20-50 minutes, first thing in the morning or last thing at night.  Be sure to rest after using it.

Infrared ones, especially near infrared lamp saunas, are much better than those found at health clubs.

ATTITUDES AND CANCER

People with certain personality traits are more likely to get cancer.  For example, those

who get cancer often appear very sweet or nice on the outside, but may harbor intense anger or resentments inside.  Other personality patterns are also important in some cancer cases.

To avoid this cause of cancer, work on yourself, particularly any defensiveness and negative attitudes that may be hidden or overt in your personality.  Negativity, in general, is associated with cancer, although sometimes the cancer comes first and causes a person to become depressed.  For much more information on cancer, see Introduction To Cancer.
