Health Tips

1. Drink half your body weight in ounces of water everyday. Drink between meals, and finish your fluids 2 hours before bed.  
   
2. Avoid microwaved food, non-stick cookware and aluminum cookware (used in most restaurants as well as homes).
   
3. Check food labels for the word “hydrogenated” and eliminate all hydrogenated oils. Dressings, mayo, “butter spreads”, baked goods, cereals, pre-prepared, fried foods, and most restaurant foods usually have these .
   
4.  Use coconut oil, ghee (clarified butter) or leftover fat from pasture-raised meats for sautéing. Avoid heating olive oil and other oils – use them to flavor food after cooking. Choose oils high in monounsaturates and low in polyunsaturates. Avoid corn, canola and soy oils.
   
5. Grate or puree squash, cauliflower, broccoli and other veggies to make them taste differently, freeze better, and get more nutrition per bite.
6. Buy and eat Pasture-Raised eggs – the highest quality eggs you can find.
   
7.  Replace starchy foods such as bread, rice, cereal, pasta, beans and chips with vegetables. Avoid juice and excess fruit. Combine fruit snacks with some fat and protein such as organic cheese or almond butter.
   
8. Have a solid breakfast with plenty of protein and fat. Eat meals and snacks at regular times every day.
   
9. Avoid pesticides in your food, your home and your yard.Eat wild salmon frequently (canned is OK). Take premium quality Omega 3 oils – we prefer emulsified fish oil to fish oil capsule.
   
10. Eliminate Iodized salt and regular Sea Salt. Look for Sun-Dried or Solar salt such as Himalayan Salt, or our Pink Salt.Remember that sodas, granola bars, muffins, most rice and soy milk, desserts and potatoes are extremely high in starch and sugars (and therefore calories). Artificial sweeteners are no good .Never eat soy again unless it is fermented as Miso, Tempeh or true Tamari Soy Sauce (Gluten-Free). Avoid all Gluten, and try going Grain-Free as well.Walk at least 3 times a week for 20 to 30 minutes. Keep your heart rate to 55% – 75% of your maximum heart rate (determined by your age).
