Heart Disease Talk (February 2011)

People always tell me my heart is working great. My medical doctor says everything looks healthy. I passed all my tests, Cholesterol is good, heart sounds well, etc. Heart disease has nothing to do with those tests! It is a big lie! Just ask Bill Clinton. Here is a guy with the best doctors in the world, the best insurance in the world, the best testing in the world, and all the money in the world and he STILL had quadruple bypass, meaning 4 of his arteries in his heart were 80% blocked or more! You cant rely on your medical doctor or insurance company to keep you healthy! If any of those tests come back positive, you already have heart disease! That is NOT prevention!

Health is your job and your responsibility. Bottom line is the way we look at heart health is CLEARLY NOT WORKING in the US. So learn the truth! Monday night February 7 be the biggest advanced workshop of the year! It is the one I am most passionate about as well.

Mastering the Grocery Store - Key to Your Success

 On last month’s webinar, I discussed mastering the grocery store. Although it may seem a mundane chore, shopping is a huge component of ensuring proper nutrition for you and your family and for your long term health. Here is a short recap of some of the things that were covered. Be on the lookout for an upcoming shopping tour as well.
 
Become a Good Shopper

 
  • Plan to take the time you need in the store
  • Schedule shopping – don’t leave it to chance
  • Come prepared – have a list and use it!
  • Quality should always be the #1 priority

On the chopping block: These are the things that need to be removed from your shopping cart.

 

  • Sugar
  • Damaged Fats
  • Toxins

Label Reading

 
DO:

 
•Look for minimal ingredients (the less the better)
•Look for natural ingredients (stuff you can pronounce and identify outside a laboratory)
•Try to buy more foods without any labels at all (i.e. fruits and veggies)
•Check every label on every single thing you buy
•Put items right back on the shelf that are man-made (if it doesn’t come from the ground, grown in a tree)

 
DON’T:

 
•Worry too much about fat grams, carb grams, and calories. The types of these things, as indicated on the label, are much more important. Your body can more efficiently and effectively digest and absorb naturally occurring foods!

 
•Don’t buy items with the following ingredients on the label: Monosodium Glutamate (also known as MSG, Hydrolyzed anything, Autolyzed anything), artificial sweeteners (sucralose/Splenda, aspartame/Nutrasweet, Equal, etc), hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated anything, refined flour, additives, colorings, preservatives, chemical names, etc. You get the idea!

 
Top 10 Most Toxic Foods

 
1.Salad Dressings

 
2.Candy/Sweets

 
3.Deli/Packaged Meat

 
4.White Bread

 
5.Sprayed Produce

 
6.Margarine

 
7.Diet Soda/Drinks

 
8.GMO Foods

 
9.Commercial Dairy

 
10.Seasoned Packaged Foods

 
A note on organics:

 

 
Nutrition and organics: a study in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry found that organically grown fruits and vegetables contain higher levels of cancer-fighting antioxidants than conventionally produced foods

 
In 2006, a study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives reported that children fed diets of organic foods have six to nine times less pesticides in their urine. In fact, they report that switching to organic foods can quickly have "dramatic and protective effect against exposures" to commonly used agricultural chemicals.

 
Our next webinar will go into great detail on the topic of Genetically Modified Foods. Take a look at the numbers below. This becomes pretty significant when you consider that so much of this is circulating in our food supply. Be sure to register for the next webinar at www.maximizedlving.com

 
Genitically Modified Crops in the U.S.

 
(Number in parentheses represents the estimated % that is genetically modified.)

 
  • Soy (91%)
  • Cotton (88%)
  • Canola (88%)
  • Corn (85%)
  • Hawaiian papaya (more than 50%)
  • Alfalfa, zucchini and yellow squash (small amount)
  • Tobacco (Quest® brand)

 The American Academy of Environmental Medicine states, “Several animal studies indicate serious health risks associated with GM food,” infertility, immune problems, accelerated aging, faulty insulin regulation, and changes in major organs and the gastrointestinal system. They ask physicians to advise patients to avoid GM foods.

 
If you are on a budget and concerned about the cost of eating the right foods, here are some budget Ideas:

 
•Buy items in bulk when possible

 
•Reduce eating out

 
•Look for ways to cut shipping cost- buy local

 
•Split large meat orders with friends

 
•Grow your own…tomatoes, lettuce, berries...

 
•Animal Products 1st, Dirty Dozen 2nd, Everything else, 3rd

 
•Look for deals online
