Is optimum health really possible for everyone?

If I may I'd like to boldly say yes and then tack on a BIG IF to it! At younger ages of childhood our health really is in the hands of others, we learn what is good food and what is not just as the children of the animal kingdom do. The difference in humans' case is that we have come to think of food not as nutrition or sustenance but rather as what pleases the palette! I remember reading an article on how the one panda bear in a zoo finally died of liver complications and after some consideration it was discovered that the Twinkies (his favorite snack!) were too rich for him after 7 years! Pandas! the bamboo eating picture of health, died of being treated as a human baby, given junk his system could not handle even though his tongue liked the taste.

I am not advocating tasteless foods or discarding the pallet , but rather food with ingredients our "natural non-synthetic system" can deal with and recognize. In their natural habitats eating what is organically available, no animal or man should ever suffer diseases such as liver cancer or constant indigestion or any of the thousands of ailments we have come to accept as "normal". How can we not see that headaches and stomach ulcers, ADHD and Aids are but daily reminders of actions we take which are wrong for the body's health and well being of the self? When did synthetic dyes become food?

I call most foods we eat today as " Stomach stuffers " , most lack the very minimum nutritional value and for the most part are mass produced with chemicals I cannot pronounce! How else do we expect the body to say "hey, I cannot deal with this crap"; except through manifestations in PAIN and DIS-EASE?

MY SECRETS TO OPTIMUM HEALTH

Some friends and clients continue to ask me the question "what is your secret?" year after year. "Hey let me have some of whatever you're having man!" and I obligingly say a few things about how simple it would be if they would remember what I told them last time we had met or better yet if they had taken just two or three of the actions I recommended then.

Now I am going to write the best of them down here for anyone who is interested and for memory's sake. God knows no one seems to be listening just yet or if they are, only barely.

Let no day be gone without having done some action to bring your body into an aerobic state with the heart rate up and sweat glands working. This generates heat of the best kind, Burns fatty tissues and aids digestion, circulation
