We all have lots of plans! Financial plans- saving for college for the kids. Retirement savings.... Investment plans... even elaborate plans for our next vacation are quite important to us!
How many of us have a plan for our health?
Almost none of us, strangely enough, since our health is the most important thing we have- if we lose our health, all of our money and possessions become "dust"; only useful insofar as they can help us to regain our most precious possession, our health!
So, in all of our incessant planning, what should we do under the heading: HEALTH ?
I have some suggestions, but feel free to write your own list. Just make sure to PLAN and have a list!
- Dial in your diet- nothing is more important to your health than what you eat! Mainstream medical practitioners will disagree (they have virtually no nutritional training), but diet is key to your health.
- Diet guidelines: Eliminate grains! (Wheat, corn, soy) Snacks, processed foods, fast foods... Easy to say, hard to do. But this is the most important step of all! Just do it!!
- Cut sugar down to almost nothing. Again, easy to say... but do it for your health!
- Sleep 8 hours per night! Every night! Turn off the computer/TV!! DO IT!!
- Now, the easy part: fire up your Vitamix every morning, and make yourself and your family a Paleo Smoothie- veggies and fruits, coconut milk, cod liver oil, and spices- this is so key to implementing a healthy diet, simply and easily, that I can't stress it enough- get a Vitamix, a bunch of frozen veggies, and frozen berries, and make a green smoothie daily! The recipe I use is on my blog- feel free to copy and improve and improvise!
That's it! Go back to making lists, and plans...
Just put HEALTH at the very top!
