Start with some simple steps
Hi!
Bear with me a minute while I generalize.
Humans need about 45 essential nutrients to thrive. There are NO essential foods, just essential nutrients.
Wherever humans have been successful on this planet, they somehow found those essential nutrients. Mix those nutrients with some water, air, carbos and fiber... and "poof" you have a healthy human, virtually every time. We were not designed by the creator or by evolution to be sick, we were designed to be successful. It's anti-survival for it to be any other way.
In the last 100 years, our diet (speaking of the "western world" here, but increasingly elsewhere as well) has been altered by depletion of some things, and the addition of strange things.
A return to the "normal" diet that we were designed to run on is the best first step. "Magic bullet" type things are not the best way to go. They may treat a symptom, but not the underlying cause.
Ok.. off the soapbox.
What to do?
1. Cut back on sugar and simple carbos. Don't use artificial sweeteners.
2. Hunt down the "trans-fats" in your diet. These are fake fats, closer to plastic than they are to food. Get rid of 'em! Use butter, olive and canola oil. Avoid deep fried foods.
3. Eat more omega-3s. These have been systematically taken out of our diets, and are absolutely essential for skin, hair, nails, heart, nerve and brain health. The best is from marine sources, like Alaskan salmon. Or take fish oil capsules. Get several grams per day. Eat whole wheat breads.
4. Take vitamin C. We evolved eating 20 times more C than the average American currently eats. Get several grams per day. It will not hurt you. Ester C is best, as it helps you stay alkaline rather than acidic.
5. Take a good multivite/multimineral. This helps insure you are getting a lot of the 45 essentials. "My favorite multiple" by Natrol is a good one.
6. Drink lots of water. Rule of thumb-drink enough so one urination per day is clear, at least.
7. Get outside, get some exercise, get sunshine. We evolved with sun and exercise, and are designed to use it.
The side effects of this are: better energy, clearer thinking, better skin, nails, hair. Overall better health and immune system function.
You can't fool Mother Nature.
My best to you,
Dan
