Maintain a healthy lifestyle with live foods
(fruits and vegetables). Avoid fast and fatty foods.
Exercise, enjoy nature, reduce your stress and avoid sodas,
caffeine, sugar, chemicals and drugs.

drugs but will interest his patients in the care and nutrition
of the human frame and in the cause and prevention of disease."

Don't smoke too much, drink too much, eat too
much or work too much.

passing lane. -- Robert Orben

Tips for healthy
living from Jewel Diamond Taylor
1)Move More
Make it a daily challenge to find ways to move your body. Climb stairs
if given a choice between that and escalators or elevators. Walk your
dog; chase your kids; play some ball, mow the lawn. Park a little
further at the mall and grocery store so you can walk more.
2)
Quit
Smoking
3)Reduce the caffeine (coffee, tea, sodas)
4)
Have more fun...lighten up.
5)
Spend more
time with true friends.
6) Keep a Positive Mental Outlook
There's a real connection between living well and having a cheerful
outlook on life.
7)
Manage your money well to reduce stress.
8)
Your immune
system is improved as you walk by faith and follow your purpose.
9)
Stay away from combative and stressful people.
10)
Being organized
and punctual reduces your stress.
Manage your time well. Time lost is time lost.
Arrest the thief called procrastination.
11)
Stay
current with check ups (mammogram, blood pressure, cholesterol,
dental, vision, etc.)
12)
Enjoy
healthy "live" food.
Eat organically
grown fruits and vegetables as much as possible as well as organic
products made from wheat and soy.
Eliminate
polyunsaturated vegetable oils, margarine, vegetable shortening, all
partially hydrogenated oils, all foods (such as deep-fried foods)
that might contain trans-fatty acids. Use extra-virgin olive oil as
your main fat.
Cut the Fat
Avoid the obvious such as fried foods, burgers and other fatty meats
(i.e. pork, bacon, ham, salami, ribs and sausage). Dairy products such
as cheese, cottage cheese, milk and cream should be eaten in low fat
versions. Nuts and sandwich meats, mayonnaise, margarine, butter and
sauces should be eaten in limited amounts.
13)
Meditate and enjoy nature more.
14)
Stop doing tooooo much. Learn to delegate. Focus on your
priorities.
Learn to say "no" to unnecessary requests of your time or money.
One can of
soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150
calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded
with artificial food colors and sulphites
(sulfurous acid).
People who drink 3 or
more sugary sodas daily have 62% more dental
decay, fillings and tooth loss!
Mountain
Dew-20 oz is the worst soda. It contains 19 tsps
of sugar and 93 milligrams of
caffeine.......nearly equivalent to adult dose
of NoDoz.
Lack of knowledge promotes illness
and ignorance.
Many ailments can be avoided and
cured by drinking more water.
We do not have a healthcare system
it is a sickcare system.
Jewel Diamond Taylor is on a
health mission and a huge advocate in teaching others
about the importance of drinking
water and avoiding dehydration.
Water is the main source
of energy.
Every cell in the body
needs water.
Our blood is 94% water.
Our brain is 85% water.
Other tissue is 75%
water.
All
animals drink plain water. If you watch a
cat or dog, it will always drink water and
wait approximately half an hour before
eating food. The exception is when they
receive a treat. They take it and eat it
then or eat it later.
Medication
is silencing the many cries of the body for
water.
Sodas cause dehydration.
THINGS TO STOP:
C
affeine
is technically an insecticide.
Caffeine and alcohol
force water out of the body.
Caffeine robs the body of vitamins B-1, B-2, B-6, B-12, vitamin
C, zinc, potassium & other important minerals.
So is morphine and so is cocaine. They are the same family of drugs --
neuro
toxic substances.
Coffee, tea, soda,
alcohol, chocolate & ginseng (ginseng works like caffeine)!!!
The water and salt
information comes from Dr. F. Batmanghelidj’s books, “Your Body’s Many
Cries for Water, ABC of Asthma, Allergies and Lupus and Water for
Health, for Healing, for Life”, a video tape (2 hour lecture), Cure Pain
and prevent Cancer and an 8 tape (10 hours) medical lecture seminar on
the body. For more information, visit

"Most of the
medication people are using is to cover up symptoms and signs and
complications of dehydration in the human body. The human body manifests
dehydration by a series of symptoms and signs, perceptive symptoms of
dehydration -- in other words, brain senses dehydration, or tiredness
when you haven't done a good day's work, or first thing in the morning
when you want to get up out of bed and you're tired, you can't get up --
that is a sign of dehydration. Then anger, quick reaction, depression,
these are all signs of dehydration, when the brain has very little
energy from hydroelectricity to cope with the information or take
action. These are some of the perceptive signs of dehydration. Then the
body has its drought management program, which are allergies,
hypertension, diabetes, and also immune diseases.
But nothing
substitutes for water -- not a thing. No drink -- no coffee, no tea, no
alcoholic beverages. Not even fruit juices. Each one of them has its own
agenda. Your body is used to a fluid that has no agenda, because the
body depends on the freedom of that fluid, water, because there are two
kinds of water in the body. There is already occupied and engaged water,
which is no good for new function. The body needs new water, or free
water, to perform new functions. Now, when you give them sugar
containing beverages, or caffeine containing beverages, both sugar and
caffeine have their own chemical agenda in the body. They defeat the
purpose of the need for water.
I have written a book
called Water Cures and Drugs Kill. It's a book that explains why
dehydration is the cause of pain and disease, and how the pharmaceutical
industry has camouflaged this information or covered it up and instead
of letting people drink water, it advertises the use of their products,
which actually do kill. Because recent figures have shown that
prescription medications, when used according to the instruction of
doctors, nonetheless kill over 106,000 people, and make 2 million people
sicker than before taking the medication. And then there is another
group who die from faulty prescriptions, incorrect prescriptions."

Love
and value your life. Take off your superwoman/man cape.
It's good to take care of others...just be
smart
and proactive with your own self-care.

"Do you not know that you are God's
temple and that God's Spirit dwells in you?"--1 Corinthians
3:16
The healing presence of God is
revitalizing me. I am an expression of divine life.
With every breath I take, I breathe in the
life of God. Because I know this truth, I understand that, cell
by cell, my body is constantly revitalized and renewed. As my
mind becomes calm, my emotions are healed.
I am one with God, one with the healing
power of God. Because my body is a temple of the living God, I
am created for life, created to be a blessing in life. I know
the truth of who I am as an expression of divine life.
As one of God's beloved children, I know
my inheritance is health and wholeness. I do not entertain any
thoughts of myself or those I love as being subject to illness
of any kind. In my mind's eye, I see the healing light of God
blessing and renewing me and blessing and renewing God's
children throughout the world. We are expressions of divine
life. ~ Daily Word
I
am not the athletic physical type. The thought of
exercising is not something I get excited about.
However, I don’t like gaining weight, breathing
with difficulty and getting depressed when I shop for
new clothes either. Subsequently, I have to motivate
myself to go the gym, put down the cookies and walk away
from the chips, candy and cake.
I have to psyche myself up to go to the gym. But let me
tell you something --- after I go for a workout, I feel
so good about myself. I feel like I’m doing the smart
adult thing by taking care of myself. My self-esteem
goes up a notch. I find myself meditating and even
releasing stored up stress, depression and anger while
on the treadmill. I feel younger as I attend the dance
and kickboxing class. I may not be able to keep up but
at
least I’m not sitting on the couch eating ice
cream because I depressed. I notice when I exercise I
sleep better at night and I know my body is rejoicing
because it is getting stronger.
I created this acronym for myself to keep me motivated.
Maybe it will inspire you too.
E - exercise and strengthen your body
X - get rid of the fat
E - experience more energy
R - release anger and stress
C - calories will burn up
I - image will be enhanced
S - self-esteem will improve
E - eat fruits, vegetables and whole
grains
If
you struggle with weight issues --- you are not alone.
If you can’t get to a gym, start exercising in your
home. Begin to clean out your refrigerator of all
the soda, sugar, junk food and fatty dairy products.
When you order any products from my web site, I will
send you my e-booklet "Tips on Successful Weight
Loss" for FREE (limited time offer).
