To Increase Positive Biochemical Stress…

Take quality daily multi-vitamin supplements.

Drink enough water (1 quart for every 50 pounds of body weight).

Eat healthy as a lifestyle choice rather than go on extreme or fad diets.

If you are not sure what to do or how to get started, let us help you or recommend a dietician/nutritionist.

To Reduce Negative Biochemical Stress…

Be conscious of your portion size! On a scale of 1-10, if being stuffed is a 10, eat to a 7.

Don’t microwave foods in plastics or cover them in plastic. This may release dioxin chemicals which can cause cancer. Use glass and paper towels, or better yet, heat on the stove.

Reduce your intake of: Processed (white) sugar

Salt

Processed flour (white bread)

Consistency is Key

Your habits, not what you do occasionally, determine your outcomes.

Starting to eat right is the hardest part. Once you get healthier, it will feel bad to eat bad.

If you must, have a “cheat day” where you limit indulging in those less-than-healthy foods to one day a week. This way you can “hold-out” for that day.

If there are some unhealthy things you find you just can’t give up yet, make sure you couple them with things that are healthy, i.e., if you must have something that is fried, make sure you have something raw and healthy like a green salad or a piece of fruit.

Risk of Poor Eating Habits

According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) – “The primary concern of overweight and obese individuals is one of health and not appearance.” An estimated 300,000 deaths per year may be

attributable to obesity.

The risk of death rises with increasing weight.

Even moderate weight excess (10-20 pounds) increases risk of death, especially among adults aged 30-64 years.

Individuals who are obese have a 50-100% increased risk of death from all causes, compared to individuals of healthy weight.

Risk of Poor Eating Habits

Obesity has been tied to lack of sleep.

Researchers found that coffee (2 cups or more per day) may raise the risk of heart disease.
