Today’s post has to be short and sweet. Promised some quality time with my son.
Although it is much more involved and complex, we really only need to do two simple things to achieve optimal health. (Note that I did not say complicated. There is a world of difference between complex and complicated.)
The first thing to do is remove all of the bad things that are causing problems or are holding you back from optimal functioning. These can include: stress; a nutrient deficient, processed diet; allergens; toxins; and infections.
For this we have to remove everything. We just can’t take out a thing or two.
The next thing to do is to put in the good things. These include: high quality, whole foods; good clean water; exercise/good movement; love; good relationships/connection; a sense of purpose; relaxation; and meditation. If we add these things the body will take over and do the rest.
That is it. It seems like common sense and is so simple but most people have a lot of trouble with it.
It bears repeating over and over that there are many things that are good for all of us, but we must remember that each person has a unique genetic makeup and response to life and the environment.
What harms me drastically may not harm you at all. I have celiacs disease. If I ate wheat or anything with gluten in it, it would wreak havoc on my body and feed back into my brain. Chances are it would do nothing serious to most of you. Obviously, if you ate a lot of bread period, you would have consequences. But for me it would be almost instantaneous and very mentally and physically painful. It would also last for days. Big difference!
That can be a trap for most people because what they do does not exert any instant or obvious harm. So when it catches up, it seems to come out of nowhere. Then they have diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, depression, sexual dysfunction and so on.
Well that is all for now. Tomorrow we will start getting into the specifics of removing the bad and taking in the good.
Make it a great Saturday everyone. I know I am!
Until next time…

Anthony,
Gluten may not bring immediate havoc to most of us, but it’s still no good for human consumption as it slows down the itestine movement plus its accumulative effect in triggering allergies.

Sounds neat and simple doesn’t it? I suppose that’s when habits, comfort zone, etc. kicks in.

You speak the truth. People are doing harm by what they eat and how they move but they don’t know it until it is too late.

simple isn’t always easy. I personally don’t think humans were meant to consume wheat as it is inflamatory. like you said, it doesn’t bother everyone but it does have an effect on me.
