After reading and researching organic food and its benefits for us humans it seemed to be a no-brainer that eating this way was the best decision to make to maintain good health long term.

Grass-Fed Cow

Today, however, I read an article which mentions that in the case of grass-fed beef at least, this method of raising cows is also better for our environment. Here is a link to that article if you would also like to read it;
4 Reasons Why Grass-Fed Beef Is Better

I’ve also noticed that organic or natural foods taste much better than processed foods. This article also mentions how much tastier the grass-fed beef is.

It also touched me that this method of raising the cows is more humane than feeding them grain which is sometimes done so I’m happy about that also.

If you just can’t do without having meat in your diet, then grass-fed beef is one excellent choice you can make.

Tastes better, better for you and better for the environment. Yes it costs a bit more but consider all the benefits. Pay for proper food now, or pay the doctor later.

It’s Winter now, even in Florida, would you believe we have been down in the 40’s a couple nights recently.

Anyway, no matter what season of the year we still must be aware of consuming enough antioxidants to maintain our health.

Here is a list of 7 antioxidant foods that are available, even if only in canned form, during the Winter months;

1. Artichoke Hearts – also good for your liver, low in calories ( must watch these especially in the winter months when we are usually a little less physically active), also high in vitamins and minerals

2. Beans – high in antioxidants as well as fiber and protein

3. Cranberries – full of antioxidants, immune-boosters and may also prevent diseases such as heart disease as well as cancer

4. Pecans – naturally sweet so may curb your sugar cravings also

5. Prunes – good against cholesterol as well as fighting free radicals

6. Red Delicious or Granny Smith Apples – eat the skin too

7. Cloves – also known to have anti-inflammatory qualities

Be sure to include as many of these foods in your diet, especially your Winter diet to maintain your good health.

Wishing you a happy and healthy holiday season,
Chris

Many in our population may not even be aware that there are excellent doctors in our country who favor using alternative methods for healing us. They focus more on monitoring our diets, adding nutritional supplements and recommending beneficial lifestyle changes instead of depending on dangerous pharmaceuticals.

From the research I have done it has become apparent to me that our bodies are terrific self-healers and for that which we cannot heal ourselves, nature has tremendous resources that can assist.

Our internal healing system is our immune system. It is when the immune system has been compromised that we become ill. Why then would we attack a compromised immune system with man-made chemicals with the expectation of getting better?

Traditional doctors are wined and dined by Big Pharma in order to promote their drugs which the doctors then prescribe to you and me.

Many well known people have recently passed away after conventional medicine totally failed them. This should ring alarm bells for you all and make you realize that our conventional medical system is a total failure and while it sucks every dollar out of your wallet, it totally fails to step up to the plate and provide the healing it claims to offer.

My experience with conventional doctors is to immediately prescribe some pill to take to try to deal with the problem. Basically they deal with the symptoms only and not the cause.

If they would only understand what caused the problem in the first place, which usually is diet or lifestyle, then perhaps they could recommend changes in these things and actually cure more of their patients.

Sadly it is not financially beneficial to them to go this route so it is highly unlikely that this will ever happen. Doctors earn money from the pharmaceutical companies for prescribing drugs to you and I and earn nothing if you and I learn to modify our diet and/ or lifestyle and in so doing heal ourselves.

Realize that all the medical associations are in business to serve their members so, for example, the American Heart Association has no interest in curing heart disease, because if they did that then all of the Cardiologists who are their members would be out of business and so would they.

This premise stands also for the American Cancer Society and so on and so on. I trust you get the point.

Do yourself a favor and check into alternative therapies for whatever ails you or your loved ones.

I look forward to the day when the population wakes up and realizes the con going on with conventional medicine and starts to look for alternative ways to maintain their health and heal themselves if and when they get sick.

Wishing you the best of health.

I have been happily and confidently thinking that if I pick up a product and it has the label saying ” No Trans Fat” that it is a superior product to one that does not have that type of labeling. Well. like with so many of the other lies we are told about our food supply, here comes yet another.

This article is eye-opening to say the least. It is at Jordan Rubin’s site. His story is a wonderful one if you have the time to look into it. I have the highest respect for Jordan.

We have all got to be extremely careful here with this situation because stress causes all sorts of negative reactions in our bodies that can create an environment ripe for disease to step in.

You have to realize that what is happening is out of most people’s control, including yours … all that we can control is our reaction to this dangerous chain of events.

You need to stay focused on your own wellbeing by maintaining your exercise program or starting a regular exercise regimen if you do not currently have one. Please be sure to check with your doctor before starting any exercise program if you have been sedentary for some time or if you have a health condition that sudden exercise could seriously affect. Being physically active is not only good for your body but can also do wonders for your mind.

Here are a few simple ways to get exercise in your daily routine:

1. Take the stairs instead of the escalator

2. Keep walking while on the escalator

3. Walk or Ride a bike instead of walking short distances

4.Park your car further away than you need to or get off the bus one stop early and walk

5. Do some exercise on your lunch hour eg. swimming or walking

Your diet is also critical for your wellbeing. It can help prevent you from getting diseases and generally make you feel better overall. Low fat and low calorie foods are best. Fruit and vegetables are critical for good health. Where possible, try to get organically grown fruits and vegetables so that you avoid ingesting toxic pesticides.

Here are some of the benefits of exercise:

1. Boost your emotional wellbeing – Exercise has been proven to improve mood.

2. Reduced risk of heart disease

3. Reduced risk of Diabetes

4. Improved Memory

5. Improved sleep pattern

6. Improved energy level … and so much more.

Just wanted to draw attention to something that we can all do that will have a positive effect on our bodies and hopefully counteract the stress that we’re all experiencing with the financial meltdown in the US economy and the, as of today, failed bail-out plan.

To Your Health,
Chris
