I remember a commercial that showed a couple of eggs in a frying pan and the tag line said - this is your brain on drugs. Another one was the photo of an old wrinkled woman with a cigarette in her mouth with the tagline - Smoking is Glamorous. If you can do something like that visually, because most people will spend about 20 seconds reading and retaining what you say, but will look at photo and be able to tell you years later what was on it - how about a photo of a super skinny anorexic model who eats 8 grapes a day and ends up dying and a photo of an extremely obese person a the other end of the rung, and one with a person in reasonable shape, looks like exercises, eats good foods then ask the question - Healthy? Your Choice!! It has been said a picture is worth a 1000 words - think about it.

There is no one single Paleo Diet, as our ancestors from all over the world ate dramatically different diets depending on the climate where they lived, their landscape, accessibility to water bodies, and the latitude that they lived. This is a detailed meal plan for the paleo diet https://tr.im/hBiZd

In some cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% plant foods and 10% animal foods, and in other cases, a Paleo Diet may be 90% animal foods and 10% plant foods.

For example, our ancestors that lived near the equator had year long access to more plant materials such as root vegetables and various fruits, veggies, and nuts.

On the other hand, our ancestors that lived at higher latitudes further away from the equator only had access to fruits and vegetables seasonally at one specific time period per year, and had larger periods of the year where they ate a higher % of meats, organ meats, fish, and other animal-based foods, or fermented foods that could be stored for winter.

I am 59 years old. I was one of 4 children growing up in the 50s. What we call organic and healthy foods today was everyday fare back then. We didn't have all the boxed foods that are available today.

My mom worked off and on but she still put a meal on the table for six people. Our home was clean and so were we.

The advantage of "healthy" foods is the control over salts, oils and other fats. We are humans so we got to have a little junk food in our life. That is what we got back then. We didn't grow up on potato chips, soda, ice cream etc. And we had all of them in stores back then. Our snacks were fruits.

God said do everything in moderation. He meant everything. Food, play, work, drinking etc,etc,etc. If you ingest too much of anything it will hurt, even healthy food.

Balance in life is the key to a healthy life.

**If you live a healthy life of food, water, exercise and a little junk once in awhile then you don't need supplements. Check with your doctor before starting any changes in your life because of food allergies or health problems. Always keep in mind the overdoing can be just as bad as not doing anything at all. Take baby steps and find out what you can do and like.**

Answer 8

Don't ever take the sleeping pills route!!

1. They will damage your liver big time and you can get into serious health problems.

2. You will get hooked up on them and you won't be able to have a normal life any more if you don't take your pills everyday.

The sleeping pills industry is damaging our health by capitalizing on our ignorance, and by distracting people from effective and natural ways to deal with this problem. I had been taking prescription sleep medications [Ambien] for over 5 years. It stopped working and I simply took more. Still did not work. Nights were very difficult - medication put me to sleep but I would wake up after 2–3 hours with a strong sympathetic response (fast pulse, pounding heartbeat, wide awake alert). It was a very difficult cycle to break. I was really in bad shape due to lack of sleep.

After years of struggling I was able to cure my insomnia naturally and pretty fast. I followed the Sleep Tracks sleep optimization program, here is their official web -site if you want to take a look: http://www.insomniacure.net

Ohhh..and Good Luck!

Answer 9

There are three main ways to lose weight quickly.

1) Use only water as liquid and eliminate all other liquid drinks from your diet. You must drink as much water as possible every day. You must drink about half of your weight. If you have weight of 200 pounds then you must drink about 100 oz of water.

2) The interval between the eating is very important. If you eat once, then you must eat next after 4 hours. You must take breakfast regularly. In the night eat your food three hours before going to bed.

3) Walking is very good. You must walk as much as you can. Walk everywhere you can. Use of elevators and escalators must be reduced and instead of these you must climb stairs more often.

These are some of the fastest ways to lose weight. By just following the simple steps, you can lose your weight very quickly. You must consult your doctor if want to change your diet or exercise routine.

Answer 11

Healthy foods give you energy and a longer life, and although the intial cost may appear to be cheaper as Adam stated. I have to disagree because in the long run the medical cost you'll spend will much out weigh the initial extra cost you might pay for the healtheir food. With junk food you'll end up having to go to th e doctor for pain due to the extra weight you'll put on, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart problems, digestive problems, amoung many others, Not to mention a shorter life span. Healthy food does not have to be overly expensive anyway it's all in how you but it. Look at fruits and vegis, for $10 you can have a refridgerator full. Skim Milk is cheaper then whole milk, you crave a hamburger make one at home with lean ground beef or ground turkey. Get white meat chicken breast you can get a 5lb bag for about $6-8. Here are some tips I found online for you.....
Make your own
Most of the best recipes on Earth were created by peasants who wouldn't be able to read the directions on a modern food package. Yet I have witnessed PhDs microwaving TV dinners while complaining how complicated it must be to make what the processed-food wizards are trying to imitate. The truth is that cheap, healthy, and tasty meals, from cereals to sautés to soups, can easily be made from scratch. Individually packaged instant oatmeal, for example, costs about $3 to $4 per pound, while plain old oatmeal, sold in bulk, costs 79 cents per pound, leaving you plenty of resources to experiment with oatmeal cuisine. Try swirling your initials in maple syrup over a steaming bowl if you're feeling adventurous and concerned about presentation.

Grow your own
Lawns surrounding 85 million U.S. residences take up almost 25 million acres. Digging up just a fraction of this real estate to grow chard, lettuce, peas, and tomatoes would be a marvelous development. You'd save money on food, and some of the millions of gallons of oil used to ship it from farm to market. Apartment dwellers take note: An amazing amount of produce can be grown in containers or window boxes, especially greens you can cut and grow back. For tips, browse university agricultural extension services online (never thought you'd be doing that in a highrise, did you?)
We all love junk food but personal experience has taught me the difference and I have found there are healthy ways to have the things I love and still eat healthy, and I am still paying today thousands of dollars in medical cost for eating all that junk food. If you're eating out and you're say at a fast food resteraunt.... get a salad, grilled chicken or something along those lines.
