ADVICE FOR A HEALTHY FUTURE - Balance

Changes in Life-styles for Optimal Health

Eat whole, real, fresh, organic, unprocessed food. If it comes in a box, a package, or a can, avoid it.
Eat a lot of fruits and vegetables full of colorful phytonutrients. That means eating five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
Eat foods with plenty of fibre.  Fibre is essential for balancing blood sugar and maintaining a healthy bowel.
Eat foods containing omega-3 fats.  Eat protein at every meal. Try cold-water river fish like salmon, sardines; eat omega-3 eggs; and eat plenty of nuts like almonds, macadamias, and walnuts.
Stop eating flour and sugar products, especially high-fructose corn syrup.
Stop eating all processed, junk, and packaged foods. 
Stop eating trans fats and hydrogenated fats.
Slow the rate of sugar uptake by the gut by balancing your meals (low glycemic load)  with healthy protein (nuts, seeds, beans, small wild fish, organic chicken), healthy carbs (vegetables, fruit, beans, whole grains), and healthy fats (olive oil, nuts and seeds, avocados, fish oil).
Eat smaller, more frequent meals.
Move your body. Exercise improves your cells’ ability to work better, respond to insulin better, and burn sugar faster.
Make your cells smarter by increasing your intake of specific nutrients, such as those found in Glucofast Capsules.

Take mitochondria-protective and energy- boosting nutrients such as acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, n-acetyl-cysteine, NA DH, D-ribose, resveratrol, and magnesium aspartate

Clear mind-robbing molecules like caffeine, alcohol, and refined sugars from your diet and eat regularly to avoid the short-term stress of starvation on your body.

Take a multivitamin and nutrients—such as vitamin C, the B complex vitamins (including B6 and B5, or pantothenic acid), zinc, and, most important, magnesium, the relaxation mineral—to help balance the stress response.

Use adaptogenic herbs (herbs that help you adapt and stay in balance in response to stress) such as Rhodiola rosea, Siberian ginseng, Cordyceps, and Ashwaganda.

Take a hot bath or a sauna to help your body deeply relax and turn on the relaxation response.

Examine your beliefs, attitudes, and responses to common situations and consider reforming your point of view to reduce stress.

Consciously build your network of friends, family, and community. Other people are your most powerful allies in achieving long-term health.

If you think you have food sensitivities, try an elimination diet—cut out gluten, dairy, yeast, corn, soy, and eggs for a week or two and see how your gut feels and what happens to your other symptoms.

Treat any infections or overgrowth of bugs like parasites, small-bowel bacteria, or yeasts.

Take digestive enzymes with your food.

Take probiotics—healthy bacteria for your internal ecosystem.

Use gut-healing nutrients such as glutamine and zinc.
