Happy Thanksgiving...



Learn How To Eat For Success

No better day than today, than to speak on eating for success.  Are you up for the challenge?

When the body is repeatedly presented the incorrect foods it will begin to send out pernicious red flag signals or symptoms. Symptoms can vary from mild to grievous and might include tiredness, stomach upset, eczema, food allergies, weight gain and more. If the base cause of the symptom isn't properly dealt with (in this case, poor nutrition) the symptom will escalate and might develop into a more grievous illness or problems in your business or overall life. You need to learn how to eat your way to success.

For instance, a heavy person who doesn't change his or her food choices has an expanded likelihood of developing hypertension. A person who experiences stomach upset from eating highly refined, processed foods might develop an ulcer. A person who eats too much sugar during the day may have a let down afterwards which can impact productivity.

The beneficial news is that the body has an unbelievable “forgiving capability”. The body leans naturally adapts to a healthy body weight and increased nutrition when presented the right foods. When arriving at healthy food changes, you don't have to change everything immediately. Begin by implementing some simple food rules one at a time. You'll be astonished at the positive results you'll feel, like increased energy, weight loss, cessation of allergies, increased success, etc.

Drink 6 to 8 glasses of fresh, clean water every day. Water is extremely powerful in battling weariness. Eat one fresh, live food at every meal. Raw fruits and vegetables bear mighty vitamins, minerals, enzymes and phytonutrients that have anti-aging components. Do away with white flour. Substitute whole grains like rye, multigrain, flax and kamut bread or pastas. Admit a protein source at every meal like chicken, fish, soy, lean beef, egg whites or yogurt. Consume only if you're hungry. If you experience a symptom soon after consuming a meal (fatigue, etc.) pay attention – you've either eaten too much or you've eaten the improper food for your body. Integrate beneficial fats into your diet including nuts, seeds, avocados, olive oil and flax oil. Do away with bad fats like french-fried foods and foods that have partially hydrogenated oils in them. Eat slow. In order to correctly digest, absorb and do away with waste, food must be chewed thoroughly.  Minimize your intake of coffee. Coffee is a stimulus that may contribute to anxiousness, restlessness and insomnia. Try drinking green tea which will afford you a natural boost and has beneficial health properties.

Yes, even during this Holiday Season, it’s time to take the first steps.  Begin with just one tip above and incorporate it into your Holiday gorge.  Together, we’ll take one step at a time… and you will learn to manage your diet to achieve peak performance! It's time to get moving toward eating your way to success in life!
