INTERMITTENT FASTING

Intermittent Fasting (IF) is a simple dietary strategy that can help you lose belly fat, gain lean mass, and improve the overall health for your body and brain. IF is about the timing of how you eat, not what you eat. IF involves eating within a certain time period and then fasting for a certain time period.  The benefits also include decreased insulin levels, and increased growth hormone levels which can lead to fat loss and muscle gain. IF has been shown to reduce your risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia,  alzheimers disease, and slow the cellular ageing process. Studies with rats have shown that IF can dramatically increase your lifespan. In a nutshell IF can improve your quality of life and increase your longevity.

AUTOPHAGY

Intermittent Fasting is extremely popular right now. It has many health benefits, many which are related to  Autophagy. Autophagy is the process of  self eating and cellular turnover in which the body recycles its worn our components back into energy. Autophagy promotes good health and longevity, it literally slows down the aging process.

CELL PHONE and WIFI HEALTH PROBLEMS

Do cell phones, wifi, and other emf (electromagnetic fields) affect your health? YES. Physical and Mental. Two things you can do immediately to protect yourself and your children.

1. When your phone is on your body (pocket, etc.)  keep it in airplane mode. When it is turned on keep it as far away from your body as possible, use a headset whenever possible. Turn it off at night.
2. Turn your wifi off at night. Your will sleep better, and you will protect your children's brain health.

FOOD FOR MOOD!


"Highly processed foods can lead to a 50 to 100% increased risk for clinical depression and high-glycemic foods pose a significant risk as well. It's time we stop thinking of the way we eat as relevant to only one piece of our health, it dramatically influences the entire body"
 Dr. Mark Hyman

The food you eat can directly affect your mental health. If you want to feel good mentally and physically avoid sugar and processed foods.
