One Blog Post to Good Health?

I’ve probably read over 100,000 pages of information on health: what to eat, how to exercise, causes of disease, raw diet, weston price diet, cave man diet, alkalizing, blah blah blah. So after reading all this what is it that I do consistently? Well here it is, fairly simple, and not the pinnacle of health but definitely in the direction of healthy.

1. Take 6-12 grams of fish oil a day (or sometimes 1-2 tablespoons of Udo’s Oil)
2. Eat 4-6 meals a day, and include a lean protein source in each meal
3. Lift weights 3 times a week for around 45 minutes per occasion
4. Make 75% of my own meals (yes I’m eating out 25% of the time)
5. Eat as many fruits and vegetables as I can tolerate, including dark leafy greens (get creative and make smoothies or green veggie juice)
6. Avoid high carb foods like breads, pastas, and rice except after working out heavily (I eat too much rice)
7. Drink only water or tea 95% of the time (I have around 2 cokes a week, and 2 beers a week)
8. Take 1 Alive! Whole Food Multivitamin a day
9. Take a pro-biotic supplement each day (acidophilus pearls, non pasteurized sauerkraut, udo’s, etc)
10. Do 15-20 minutes of aerobic activity 2X a week (hike, swim, uphill treadmill)
11. When buying meats, whenever I can, I get the closest thing to “wild” as possible. Free-range chickens, pasture fed beef, bison, wild salmon, forest roaming pork.
12. When buying veggies, whenever I can, I get the least processed and transported veggies possible. Subscribe to a CSA in the summer, buy from farmers markets, buy organic.

And that’s about it. Try it out and see if it works for you.
