There is no such thing as a “neutral” choice, or a choice that does not reap what you have sowed. On some level, our lifestyle choices will either be BENEFICIAL or DETRIMENTAL. The more we can string together positive choices the faster we can improve our health and fitness levels, but to the contrary, the more we string together negative choices the faster the accumulation of these choices destroy our metabolisms and create disease. Here is a list of some of the most basic lifestyle choices today that are add up fast in creating accelerated aging issues. Each choice is followed by an option to help create a healthy daily regimen versus the daily unhealthy rut: Skipping breakfast-Make an effort to consume a meal, no matter how small, which is balanced with a good source of protein. Consuming only one type of Macro-nutrient per meal-Eat a meal that has some quality protein, healthy fat, real carbohydrate and a non-starchy vegetable. Skipping meals-Always have leftovers around so that you won’t go over four hours without eating. Consuming “Displacement” Foods*-Eating real whole foods that you can pick, gather, fish or hunt, will help you improve your health. Consuming “Altered” Foods**-Consuming foods in there natural state is what the body desires and your body will thank you for it. Being Dehydrated-Drink purified water throughout the day, and do not drink water from the tap unless properly filtered. Under-eating-Know that your body will burn muscle and store fat if you don’t give it the proper calories it needs. By consuming extra snacks and meals throughout the day you will begin to heal your metabolism. Over-eating-The human body can only create so much heat per hour, so the only option if you want to eat more is to eat six small to moderate size meals. Not getting the proper Quantity of sleep-Nothing is more important than healing physically and mentally with a good nights sleep.
