Healthy Habits for New Clients

Healthy Habits for New Clients

Thank you for choosing me as your health consultant. I would like to share with you some healthy habits that you can develop to ensure you reach your healing goals and optimum health.

1. Avoid processed foods and commercially grown produce which contain chemicals that are harmful to health. These chemicals affect digestion, are toxic to blood, tissues, and organs, and contribute to weight gain.

2. Avoid the use of a microwave oven when preparing food or drink; these alter the chemical makeup of the food/liquid by means of radiation.

3. Avoid artificial sweeteners, and Genetically Engineered foods

4. Use organically grown products; Meat, Dairy, and Produce. Organic products do not contain the chemicals associated with processed and genetically engineered foods.

5. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of pure water. Be sure that it is filtered or bottled spring water, as tap water is often contaminated with chemicals. More than ¾ of all US drinking water is contaminated with anti-nutrients. The ideal daily intake is 2 quarts per day (64 oz.) water, or diluted juices or herb/fruit tea.

6. Use real Butter, avoid hydrogenated oils, margarine, fried foods. If you fry food consume in moderation and use Olive oil or butter to minimize the conversion of the oil to Trans fats, which are harmful to health releasing free radicals in the body.

7. For digestion purposes, meals should consist of Fresh fruits or vegetables combined with either carbohydrates or protein. ( Vegetables and chicken or vegetables and pasta, carbohydrates and proteins require different digestive elements and therefore should not be combined at any one meal)

8. Find ways to be active. As little as 15-30 minutes of activity performed at least 3 times per week will greatly benefit your health. Regular exercise increases metabolism for up to 15 hours after workout, reduces stress, suppresses appetite, and lifts the spirit!

9. Vitamins and minerals should be taken 15 mins. before or after a meal.

10. It’s never too late to learn something new! Take a class, join a club, or develop a hobby to enrich your life, ease boredom and stress, and make new friends.

The road to optimum health does not have to be a hard one. With these 10 easy steps you will have a great start to a healthier lifestyle and a solid foundation to build upon.
