Prevention:
Stay Well
by Eliza Cooper

How do you prevent disease or illness from occurring? How do you fight the effects of aging? The answer remains the same! The quality of food you eat and exercise.
 


Take steps to prevent illness
before it happens.

Many do not realize that they are dehydrated, not drinking enough water and/or drinking beverages that dehydrate, such as coffee, sodas, juices, etc. The rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces of water. You can add Liquid Chlorophyll (green matter in plants) to your water if you don't like to drink it plain for a healthy addition.

Getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet is important as well. Food grown in sterile or nutrient deficient soils do not meet your daily needs to prevent malnutrition. Hence supplementation is needed. Super Supplemental or Vita Wave , a liquid supplement, provides daily vitamin and mineral requirements. Chinese Mineral Chi Tonic is for those who are recovering from illness. An empty diet of fast foods and meat and potatoes that many in America eat does not provide adequate nutrition. If you plan to eat 5 to 7 veggies a day and 2 to 4 fruits, your eating habits may change. Instead of a candy bar, or nutritionally dead snacks, like chips, crackers, etc. you eat a piece of fruit, or a vegetable.

Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger! If you change your eating habits, you may find that you have regular bowel movements (fresh fruits and veggies are loaded with fiber) and if you drink enough water, you may find that you don't get as hungry, nor do you have swelling (edema), that normally occurs from being dehydrated.

Taking the 90-Day Habit of Health Challenge will aid you in receiving your daily baseline nutrition. Consider taking the challenge as a family! Exercise is important for removing toxins from the body, toning muscles and boosting your immune system. Your lymph system requires vigorous exercise in order to move lymph fluid. You can rebound on a mini trampoline, jump rope or power walk 3 to 5 times a week.

Just doing what you should do goes a long way to prevent disease. Eating non processed foods, drinking enough water, getting enough exercise and having regular bowel movements is key to preventing disease!
