The journey begins at 45 for some women. 70 and around 80 for some men. I believe that learning why we gain excess weight and why we get hungry is something that can be learned. The sooner the better.
Aging happens, can we control it? I believe yes. Decline and disease accompany aging with cardiovascular disease, arthritis, cancer, dementia and diabetes. All these diseases are related and can be overcome.Learning one’s best foods, and eating for great digestion, is the key to proactive aging. Even if you eliminate 3 times a day, I have friends who have fine-tuned their eating and lost weight. Helping an 80 year old friend who thought this didn’t work, she lost 115 pounds and cured her diverticulitis. Success will come to you, when you find triggers that precipitate a feeling of hunger. There are some key nutrients you need. Riboflavin, folate, magnesium, zinc, and some nutruents from sockeye salmon and vitamin C. Putting this together in a plan to wean you off of some foods you know you should not eat is the goal. Alternative snacks are provided.
Adjusting your best foods can promote wellness and help you age with vibrance. The sooner you get started, the longer you will remain vibrant. The nutrients above will run your methylating cycles and efficiently create the products you need to sleep, have more energy, and digest better. Leaving them out will lead to decline and disease.
My dentist was curious and wanted to know how I healed my bleeding gums. Healing my whole body,
Some people can use a book to do this, some people may need a little support. The steps are listed on my home page. However since digestion is the most important piece of vibrant aging, eating what you need to eliminate daily, may take a lot more fine tuning. Since this has been my experience, I am here to help you.
Never think you are hopeless, or can’t achieve vibrant health. You can, with proof from your blood chemistries and markers.
In the process, I found that simple carbs no longer serves most of us. Processed foods lead to pain and hunger. Even diabetes and disease. The demand of the body for pure nutrition is great and if we don’t pay attention to this, we will start to decline. Finding the need for nutrition led me to Dr. Ben Lynch. I began researching, by subscribing to doctor’s e-mails. Some were pure adverrtisements and some were helpful. Taking a test that no longer exists, I found that I needed riboflavin and when I added this from food sources (not fortified cereals or supplements) I felt better. There are other tests now, that help some.
Researching links at Mamas Wellness I found Dr. Doni, Dr. Chris Kresser and others who sent me to links describing the result of cancer from supplementation. Being married to a Phd biochemist, propelled me to find food that works. Trace quantities of minerals are required. This is become more widely known. Luckily I remembered receipes that helped me feel better. I also watched “The Chew” and found some good things there. My oldest daughter continues to search for tasty recipes too. New recipe book may be coming, as some are not in the current book.
Having several people going through aortic valve replacement, and asking questions….. forced me to re-think calcium. Oh, I have been eating fish with bones, and yogurt and nuts.Taking Clear Cal, a sea merl supplement now, I recommended brocoli sprouts to friends. Yes they had calcium plaques. I still have osteopenia, due to a fast COMT gene. A slow COMT gene causes breast cancer. I watched most all of Dr. Ben Lynch’s hour long webinars. Broccoli and broccoli sprouts are also good to prevent breast cancer.
Dr. Ben Lynch helped me understand the importance of keeping methylating cycles functioning at peak levels. It helps control depression, energy and everything concerning sleep and digestion.
There are answers for kids that can’t sleep too, however I am better with aging adults.
There is a course, a book and free recipes to print. Its where I started.
Digestion suffered till I ate only what I needed. More protein required more low glycemic high fiber carbs for balance.
