Anti-Aging Therapy Dietary Suggestions For Regaining Your Health

The answer to these questions can be found in research that has been going on for the past thirty years or more. This research tells us slowing down the aging process is possible. What is needed? A reasonable diet, proper digestion without the use of digetive aids, and exercise at some level and a heaping serving of TLC. These are the key factors in helping your body slow down the aging process.

To start, I suggest you reduce your food choices and create a simple diet. The reason for this request is to help your body regain balance and improve your digestion. Many processed foods are known to affect some people in negative ways because they contain harmful (toxic) ingredients and are indigestible for a particular individual. Taking them out of your diet for a period of time can give your body the ability to regain some balance.

Next; drinking enough clean (distilled) water every day is extremely important. How much water is enough? At your normal weight for your height and frame, you'll need to drink 1/2 ounce of water for every pound of body weight. (Example: weight=120 pounds, 60 ounces of water every day.) Overweight? You may have to increase this 10% for every 20 pounds of extra weight.

Here is an outline to help you design a diet according to your food preferences. Food Guide . A Food Diary may help. By tracking what your eating and drinking every day, you’ll be able to identify the habits that are doing the most good/harm.

Major No-No's include: 1) skipping breakfast (some people eat so late at night that their body is still digesting yesterdays food when they wake up in the morning - this action can prevent the body from carrying out the trash [catabolic function ] and lead to weight gain). Even a light breakfast can help you. Food pyramid.

2) Snacking between meals. 3) Eating after supper (try to have at least 3 hours between your last meal and bedtime). When the body must digest and process food at night, it is unable to spend the time needed to remove the toxins and/or waste accumulated during the day.

Use the Food Guide to design your diet, be creative. Try fresh and/or organic dried fruit and fresh nuts (walnuts or almonds) for breakfast or a smoothie (“Breakfast in a Glass”).

You may reach a point where you can't stand to think of staying on the diet any longer. When this happens, drop the diet and have a binge day. Pig out! It's important that you enjoy your binge day. It is equally important that you return to your diet the following day.

What makes this program work is your willingness to return to the diet. The more days you spend on the diet, the quicker you'll start to see results. This diet encourages you to eat a lot of fiber (Chia Seeds), protein, a few carbohydrates, and good fats (I use organic, nonhydrogenated coconut oil for cooking). How much of each macronutrient you need depends on your metabolism.

There are indications your body will give you in helping you determine how to regulate the amount of protein, fats, and carbohydrates you need; Example, if you find yourself getting hungry shortly after eating a meal (30 to 45 minutes), you may not be getting enough protein. On the other hand, if you feel tired and listless after eating, you may be getting to much protein. When you wake up in the middle of the night and cannot go back to sleep; this may be another indication of a high protein diet. When you wake up in the morning feeling tired and you ache all over, it can be a sign of a high carbohydrate diet. The fats I encourage people to take, other that their supplements, are essential fatty acids and coconut oil. Fats are the body’s best source of energy on this diet.

Take 30 minutes out of your day every morning and/or evening - during this time administer a large helping of Tender Loving Care (TLC) to yourself. This can be a very effective way of practicing this therapy. In addition, try warming about one gallon of clean (distilled) water to `04 degrees (F). Add a half-pint of 3% food grade H2O2 (or 4 ounces of 6% food grade H2O2) and place in a plastic wash pan. Soak your feet in this solution while you offer positive affirmations, meditate, write a letter to a friend, fold clothes, pray for others who are less fortunate, or just relax. This practice will help to improve the circulation in your feet (and your whole body as well); clear up any infestation or virus (athletes foot, plantar warts/human papillomavirus, etc.). It will also soften bunions and/or corns and help to remove tough, dried, dead skin (a sign of chronic dehydration). Most of all, it allows the body to receive additional oxygen.

If you are coping with concerns over regularity, I want to suggest another practice; include enemas or colonics weekly or biweekly. When you are in reasonably good health these are techniques that can be practiced at home with the help of a spouse or friend (buddy system). To improve the effectiveness of this practice, I encourage your to consider adding 3% food grade hydrogen peroxide to the distilled water. To learn more about this powerful addition to your personal hygiene program; read my booklet on "The War Within...".

Next is your emotional well-being. Addressing the issue of emotional health can be very important for almost all of us. Physical balance without emotional balance is literally impossible. I suggest using emotional freedom therapy (EFT) to remove the negative blocks. This can be an important step in regaining control over your diet and slowing the aging process. Once you've read the introduction and you are ready to learn more about this powerful therapy, give me a call to set up an appointment. It is possible this can be done over the phone (I'll be happy to explain the details when you call).

The following is a suggested list of supplements that can help support you with this program:

Food Enzymes; Take at least two or three capsules with each meal to start. As you progress in the program, you may be able to back off on the enzymes. It all depends on the health of your pancreas and digestive system. (When you choose to binge, please be sure to include the enzymes as it may lessen the impact on your body.)

Acidophilus; Suggested dosage is three to four capsules about one half hour before breakfast each morning. You may be able to reduce this amount as you progress with the program depending on the strength and health of your immune system. Acidophilus is a live bacteria and must be keep in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.

AFA, Aphanizomenon flos-aquae; Algae is the one food that can supplement your diet with nutrients that are 97% assimilable by the body. Plus, you get chlorophyll, an important blood purifier (Using the liquid Algae can give you fresh chlorophyll). More information on AFA is available.

Mineral Ascorbate (Vitamin C); start with about 1/4 teaspoon before each meal mixed with a small amount of water. Continue to increase the amount until you experience a loose stool. Then back off about 1/4 teaspoon. You may be able to increase this amount again as you progress with the diet. When you are having only one bowel movement a day, you may be close to being constipated. (I suggest Sodium Ascorbate. It's inexpensive and works well to help improve circulation and strengthen the immune system. The tart taste of the mineral ascorbate is important as it helps to stimulate the liver and spleen.)

MSM, Methylsulfonylmethane; MSM is important in helping cellular regeneration. I suggest starting out with three or four capsules with each meal and working up from there. You will notice a big difference in your hair and nails first. Then you'll see some difference in the texture and smoothness of your skin.

Essential Fatty Acids; EFA's are important. When you are having meat such as salmon, cod, halibut, etc. (cold water fish) with your meal, you're getting these EFA's. When you choose not to eat meat, I encourage you to add Chia Seed Gel to your salad. Chia Seed Gel contains both the omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids in the proper balance for the body and they are great with salads.

Coconut Oil; Coconut oil is the only oil I feel safe in recommending for all kinds of cooking. Butter and Ghee are also good (up to 350ºF), but will not tolerate the heat coconut oil will (400ºF). Using olive oil for cooking is not something I encourage because it will not tolerate much heat (250ºF). Olive oil is great in the diet provided it is packaged in an opaque container and kept in the refrigerator. It can become rancid. (It is important to note that all oils are photosensitive [exposed to light] and as such can become rancid when packaged in clear or tinted bottles and stored at room temperature.)

Co-Enzyme Q10; Co-Enzyme Q10 is important in helping with circulatory concerns. It has proven to be helpful in several studies with heart patience’s. The most successful studies showed the importance of starting out at a high dosage (150 mg. twice a day) and then backing off as the body was able to improve on the conditions it was experiencing. Co-Enzyme Q10 is also a powerful anti-oxidant.

Alpha Lipoic Acid; As usual, we're behind the curve on this one. According to Dr. Berkson who has a private practice in New Mexico says; "ALA helps to convert food into energy by improving the breakdown of sugar. A two-year old, climbing the walls after dinner, produces very large amounts of ALA in his liver, while a 60 year old man after eating the same meal can be found asleep on the couch." ALA is very popular in Europe because it's an effective antioxidant and is both fat and water-soluble. Dr. Berkson has published a book "Alpha Lipoic Acid Breakthrough" that tells a lot about the importance of this nutrient.

Vitamin E; Vitamin E is another important antioxidant. I think enough has been written about it to prove its importance in this therapy. If you have any questions or concerns, talk to your health care provider or give me a call and I'll be happy to forward the information I have on vitamin E.

Aloe Vera; Aloe Vera can be very helpful when changing your diet. It can help to rid the body of toxins and improve circulation. When you are experiencing concerns with regularity is very helpful.

Caprylic Acid; This essential fatty acid can be helpful in controlling sugar cravings. Since I've struggled with candida for the last forty years, it has been very helpful for me in controlling these cravings. I suggest a person start out with one capsule with breakfast and lunch; if the de-toxicing becomes to intense, then just leave them out of the diet for a couple of days ­ then try them again. As you progress, you'll be able to stay with two capsules a day. After two bottles of Caprylic Acid, many people lose the cravings and no longer need the supplement. I must add that EFT can help a lot with any type of food cravings.

Do you need all of these supplements to make the diet work? No. It's possible you don't need any of them. On the other hand, you may need several of them. Everybody had challenges unique to their body.

I must say a word about exercise. Exercise is important; however, it doesn't have to be hard work. I suggest you find simple ways to start including exercise in your daily routine like parking your car as far away as possible when you go to the store or work. Getting up and walking around as much as possible when you're at work can be another option. Be creative, and don't go running off to the gym to start with, wait until you're feeling better. Then go for it.

I encourage you to study the program and the diet outline, make notes and ask questions.

Asking questions is the most powerful exercise you can engage in because this is when your body begins to realize you are serious about making changes in your life. Keep a list of questions that come to your mind as you go over this material. Then call me and we can talk about options that are available.
