7 Healthy Habits

There's a lot to be said about living a healthy lifestyle. Eating well is not the only requirement of being healthy. The famous lifestyle center, The Golden Door, teaches lifestyle change and blogger Kathy of Healthy. Happy. Life. 100% Vegan blogged on her experience at the elite modern Japanese-like decor lifestyle center. In her 7 Wellness Habits I Picked Up at the Golden Door Kathy shares what she learned from the Golden Door lifestyle center on what a person should do to incorporate more well-roundedness in healthy living.

The 7 lifestyle habit summary:

1. Follow the sun. Wake earlier, sleep earlier.
2. Make tea-drinking a habit! After meals and late-afternoon tea times help to warm, hydrate, calm hunger cravings and ease digestion, not to mention the many tea antioxidants available to you.
3. Exercise, but try new things when it comes to exercise, and have fun doing it! So many options exist, from zumba to tap dancing. Fitness can be FUN!
4. Eat slowly. Avoid eating in haste, but actually dine when you eat. Practice mindfulness with each bite.
5. Be adventurous! Embrace your adventurous spirit in all you do. Fear nothing. Try everything. Live to the fullest. Dream big and live big!
6. Fruit. Veggies. Fruit. Veggies. Add them to your meals, snacks and eat them all day long. They are the healthiest foods on earth! Eat them raw with all their live and healing juices energizing you with live and healing strength.
7. Just MOVE. Whether you are taking out the garbage or taking a cardio class, find time in your day to move the amazing body you were given. Get that heart pumping and oxygen flowing. Moving more WILL give you more energy as well as improve your mood and metabolism. Just move, move, move!
Some of the pictures Kathy shared in her blog really focus on relaxation, heathy eating, hydration, rest, hygiene, and sunshine.

Greenday Veggie Snacks: Okra, Onion, Pumpkin

I am a bit in love with my new little discovery at the international food mart in Itaewon, Seoul. The owner is from Pakistan and gets some of the oddest items mostly from the US, SE Asia, and the Middle East. Of course there's very little that I can eat because my diet is so limited, but my latest foray there unearthed some vegetable snack crackers imported from Thailand ... the brand, Greenday. There were three flavors available: okra chips, onion chips, and pumpkin chips. With only two ingredients listed on the package (their respective vegetable and then 2% rice bran oil), I had to give them a try. Not sure if I'd label them as only 2% oil though as they left a greasy film on my fingers, but they certainly are a nice treat. The okra and onion chips are my favorites. I find them much more flavorful than the pumpkin chips, but then my tastebuds prefer salty and sour to sweet so that's no great surprise to me in the preference. There's not much in a package (okra - 25g;...

WARNING: Too Many Supplements May Up Cancer Risk

About three years ago I went to Hippocrates Health Institute. At HHI the lifestyle is 100% raw food and taking care of one's total dietary (includes supplements) health as well as total lifestyle changes, e.g. water, exercise, sunlight, sleep, etc. During the three week program, all participants were encouraged to sign a self-contract that toothpaste, shampoo, and cosmetics would even be the pure and natural kind. People, if they weren't on serious prescriptions, were even encouraged under doctor's guidance not to take their meds and especially to lay off their "health-supporting" supplements. Wow, Brian Clement, the program director and author of several books including Supplements Exposed , told about some people having such serious withdrawals from their supplements that they would have tremors and other disturbing side-effects. Unlike what marketing strategies suggest, these "healthy supplements" really aren't all that healthy! Warni...

Insights on the Ketogenic Diet

From what I'm seeing on the Internet the ketogenic diet is a raging buzz word. It certainly was not so nine years ago when I first got so sick that almost everything I ate made me feel unspeakably ill. I can only say that the diet I undertook to deal with my symptoms was a desperate avoidance of almost every kind of reactionary food. Basically I became a grass grazer (lots of green leafies, coconut oil (which I discovered gave me energy and kept me from being too much of a skeleton) and just a few other simple foods -- See my horrendously constrained, but wonderfully restoring diet . Yes, call it strict, but it helped me tremendously!) Later a friend whose son has Doose Syndrome, a very rare form of epilepsy , looked at this blog and wrote back commenting on my keto diet. Never heard of a keto diet before so looked it up, and looked up the treatment for people with Doose. It was a bit hard to understand, eating to feed the brain ketones to burn instead of glucose that most peo...
