Look, Feel, and Live Younger!

• Eat more local, organically grown plant foods.
• Healthy eating requires an abundance of dark green, leafy, and brightly colored vegetables, fruits, and other naturally high fiber foods in your diet - such as legumes, beans, nuts, and whole grains.
• Try to ensure that you are consuming at least 60% to 75% raw food.
• Reduce and balance your fat intake. Research shows it is best to keep your daily intake of fat calories under 20% to 25%, with saturated fats to less than 10% of the daily total (the national average is 42%!).
• Be sure to include seeds, nuts, and legumes as a good source of polyunsaturated fats and the essential omega 3 and 6 fatty acids.
• Drink enough pure, clean water. Adequate water is essential. It improves digestion, transports nutrients, and helps to eliminate toxins.
• Replace other drinks with purified water and herbal teas. Consider adding Aqualyte and/or Ionyte, mineral and electrolyte enhancers, to your drinking water. 
• Take high quality nutritional supplements.
• Numerous studies show that the optimal amounts of vitamins (see The Suggested Optimal Nutrient Allowance - or SONA - Study), minerals, phyto-nutrients, and essential fatty acids can help you feel better, prevent disease, and slow down the aging process. The SONA Multi Vitamin, OMEGA 3-6-9, and GREENS, all manufactured by Enerex Botanicals of Canada, provide the foundation for optimal health.
• Exercise moderately and sensibly. A brisk daily walk is better than strenuous high impact aerobics. Also, light weight-training helps keep your bones strong. One of the best overall ways to exercise is on a mini trampoline. A zero-impact exercise, a trampoline provides many benefits for you and your body. 
• Eliminate all refined and packaged foods. Highly processed foods are full of empty calories. They fill you up (and fill you out!), but are dangerous to your health and well-being.
• Limit your sodium intake. Too much salt throws your minerals off balance, causes excess water retention, and may lead to high blood pressure.  Use unrefined sea salt when necessary.
• Get adequate sleep. Sleep is a basic human need - as important for good health as diet and exercise.  "Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise."  Benjamin Franklin was right on target.
• Eliminate negative habits - give up excess caffeine and other stimulants, reduce your alcohol intake, and if you smoke, QUIT!
• Replace bad habits with healthy new ones.
• Manage the stress in your life. B STRESS FREE by Enerex is a scientifically formulated product to protect your body from the effects of all forms of stress. Take whatever steps are necessary to reduce stress and create a balanced life. 
• According to Abraham Lincoln, "Most people are just about as happy as they make up their minds to be."  Make up your mind to appreciate the good things in your life and have an attitude of gratitude.
