Alternative Health Care Alternative Medicine: Weight and Diet ControlWhen I mention diet control, it’s not what you’re thinking. Dieting to eat less simply doesn’t work in the long run. The prevention to weight gain is not dieting.Diet control is the key to losing unwanted pounds and staying healthy at the same time. The way to actually control weight gain is to eat whatever you want, within reason, but to control what foods you eat at a particular meal.
Alternative Health Care Alternative Medicine: Food CombiningWhen we properly combine our food groups, the food has a better chance at digesting into the system and doing its job. This helps prevent irritable bowel syndrome, heartburn, acid stomach, gall bladder issues, and much better elimination! Isn’t that what you want?The way to do this is to never eat a protein food with a starch food. The two combinations do not mix well and will cause all of those indigestion problems. Bottom line, eat what you want when you want, but never combine those two food groups - meat and a starch at a meal. Prevention is the key.
Alternative Health Care Alternative Medicine: Slow Down!When was the last time you sat down to a regular wholesome meal? Believe it or not, most folks only sit down to a nutritious meal once or twice a week! This is so detrimental to our mental and physical health.Life can sometimes speed by so fast that we don’t take the time to smell the tulips. Too much stress on the system can seriously make a person ill. In fact, there are more and more people complaining of the beginning ailments to disease than any other. They complain of indigestion, heartburn, acid stomach, migraine headache, IBS, fatigue, and general malaise. These are the bodie’s orange flags letting us know that we are in need of rejuvenation. Our body is getting tired of this lifestyle. Too much stress and poor eating habits. You don’t want to see the red flags do you? You can prevent the red flags from coming if you first eliminate the orange flags. All of the orange flags can be prevented. You deserve better than a bagel for breakfast and a fast food hamburger for lunch. Skipping meals and then not eating proper will cause disease. Taking the time to eat right will prevent sickness from coming on. Slow down and take a well-deserved break at meal times.

Having total health is not just about eating right, but having mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual balance in our lives. If we aren’t taking time out to make our lives more balanced, then we’ll run into trouble.Many times when we are feeling burdened, anxious, fearful, or just plain stressed out about things in our life it makes us literally sick! The alternative to becoming sick is to stay positive and have a good frame of mind. We have to make time for those things! Take more time out of your hectic lifestyle to enjoy an activity, hobby, sport, service, craft, or whatever it is you like to do. We’re pushing ourselves to make more and more money, and our health is declining because of it. Is it worth it? To bring harmony and balance into your life, there is more to life than eating, sleeping, and working. Your emotional and spiritual health is just as important as your physical health.
