Time waits for no one. 2015 has come and gone and 2016 is here. Many of us start the New Year with unrealistic expectations and goals when it comes to achieving good health. Before achieving good health, your Action Plan for good health needs to be defined and understood.
Your goal may be entirely different than others. You may want to lose 30 pounds, whereas your friend just wants to wake up in the morning from a good night sleep, and not crash from fatigue during the afternoon.
Family members with a chronic disease history including cancer, diabetes, addiction or heart disease just want to avoid developing these illnesses.
No matter if you want to avoid chronic illness, or increase natural energy, focus, or weight management. An effective Action Plan recipe from yours truly will help you get your mind and body on track for good health in 2016.
Achieving good health involves a multiple health intervention action plan. These interventions, if implemented on a daily basis, will help you achieve any health goal.
First: The will to succeed is most important — that is, brain power. How do we get our brain not to crave toxic substances including sugar, synthetic caffeine from coffee shops, fatty and processed fast foods? The answer is found in the gut and G.I. tract.
Powerful brain food compounds are actually found in foods that are effective gut cleansers including raw organic radishes, broccoli, cauliflower, onions, garlic, avocados, walnuts and lemons. Incorporate these powerful brain foods into your family’s daily diet. Additionally, add a quarter teaspoonful of crushed cloves into the diet 4 times a week. Cloves are helpful in eliminating parasites from the G.I. tract.
Chronic undiagnosed parasitic disease in America is more prevalent than you might think. For example, the toxoplasma parasite is extremely common in pet cats. According to data from the Center for Disease Control, over 60 million Americans are chronically infected with toxoplasma gondi. If untreated, chronic illnesses involving the lymph nodes, muscle and eye may develop.
Second: Exercise, exercise, exercise! Even if you have a disability, there are ways to incorporate exercise into your daily routine. Thirty to 40 minutes of daily cardio exercise, along with a complete health goal intervention, is proven to help prevent the onset of diabetes as well as other chronic illnesses. Along with exercise and a whole foods diet, drink 40 ounces of purified water daily to help remove toxins stored in the body.
Third: Nutritional supplementation is a critical intervention to achieve optimum health in 2016. There are plenty suppplemnts and supplementation programs on the market these days. Please research diligently.
