To prevent as well as reverse heart disease, arthritis, and cognitive decline, a low-fat diet rich in whole grains combined with a disciplined aerobic exercise regimen at least 3 days a week is NOT the answer! This is old dogma based on bad science, and it’s the reason why Americans are sicker now than ever before.
The truth is that there are “wild” people still living on this Earth. They don’t wear clothing that covers their reproductive organs, they don’t have typical houses with running water, refrigerators, showers, or toilets. They don’t get their food from grocery stores or markets, and they don’t grow crops in their own gardens. And even though many of them live into their 80′s and 90′s, they don’t get heart disease, arthritis, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and many of the other modern diseases that have become so common in our society.
By studying these wild tribes of people, researchers and scientists are learning what we’re doing (or not doing) that is making domesticated humans so sickly.
Some key points:
Eating the meat and dairy products from genetically modified, cloned, hormone-injected, and GMO corn-fed animals has turned out to not be such a good idea. By switching to grass-fed meats that have never been artificially cloned, given antibiotics, or injected with growth hormones, you might notice some of your health problems start to go away very quickly. This is something that is commonly overlooked, simply because the meat and dairy products in grocery stores and restaurants don’t have a label that says “This meat is from an animal that was cloned by scientists in a lab, injected with growth hormones to make it gain weight really fast, and then fed genetically modified corn.”
But the fact is that unless the product says “organic,” it comes from a clone and it was given hormones to make it gain unhealthy amounts of weight rapidly. And unless the label says “grass-fed,” the animal was fed corn, causing its meat and its milk to contain high amounts of pro-inflammatory omega-6 fatty acids and miniscule amounts of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids.
I highly recommend that instead of drinking pasteurized cow’s milk, rice milk, almond milk, soy milk, or any of the other crazy milk substitutes out there, you should give PaleoMeal a shot. It not only comes from grass-fed cows and is rich in heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3 fatty acids, it also contains high amounts of bioavailable B vitamins and other nutrients that support a healthy cardiovascular system, immune system, and metabolic rate. And of course its rich protein content supports lean muscle repair after a tough workout.
Protect yourself from oxidative stress by taking Ubiquinol (Reduced CoQ10) combined with Black Shilajit on a daily basis. Your body is being inundated with pollution and low levels of radioactive fallout still coming from Fukushima on a daily basis. While taking a multi-vitamin has never been shown to improve anybody’s health or even prevent any kind of disease, this combination of Ubiquinol and Black Shilajit is actually known to prevent oxidative stress, slow down the aging process, and possibly reduce your risk of developing cancer.
Engage in exercises your body is made for, such as yoga, taichi, running, and sprinting. Strengthen your muscles by lifting heavy things and doing bodyweight exercises instead of isolating single muscle groups with machinery. Doing this simple 10 minute exercise once a week can be more beneficial to your cardiovascular health than hours of cardio.
