LIVE SMART:
AVOID THESE FOOD INGREDIENTS

These ingredients are absolutely not good for you. If you see them on the label, do not buy the product. Move on to other products.

AVOID THESE FOOD INGREDIENTS

Partially hydrogenated oil (cottonseed, soybean or any other)
Hydrogenated oil (cottonseed, soybean, or any other)
High fructose corn syrup
MSG - Monosodium Glutamate
NutraSweet
Hydrolyzed vegetable protein
Artificial color often listed as a color with # i.e. FD&C Yellow #5, Red #40
Artificial flavor
Aspartame
Saccharin
Nitrates & Nitrites
Autolyzed yeast
BHT
BHA
Polysorbate 80
Bromate
Potassium Bromate
Brominated Vegetable Oil

If the label has 2 or more of these and also has listed "natural flavors" avoid it. Most likely the "natural flavors" in these products is a disguised form of MSG as a product that can contain from 20% to 40% MSG

THESE ARE SUSPECT:USE OCCASIONALLY IF AT ALL

Bleached flour or bleached wheat flour
Enriched flour
Enriched wheat flour
Unbleached wheat flour
Made with wheat
Fruit drinks - never use these (Fruit Juice is ok if it is 100% juice)
Fortified with
Enriched with
Natural
All natural
Organically grown
Carrageenan
Natural Flavors
Dextrose
Color Added
Spices "Spices" - this is also a cover for MSG containing compounds
Malt
Malt flavoring
Calcium propionate
Sodium caseinate
Sodium nitrate
Sodium hydroxide
Sodium benzoate

INSTEAD SEEK OUT LABELS CONTAINING

Whole grain - Made with whole grain
Sprouted or Sprouted grain
Certified Organic or Certified Organically grown
No Hormones, No Antibiotics, No GMO
Contains Live Active cultures
100% fruit juice with nothing added other than vitamin c (ascorbic acid or sodium ascorbate). Choose not-from-concentrate first and from concentrate second.
Spice ingredients that are listed out by name like garlic, pepper, and onion etc. not just the word spices on the label
Ingredients list- the fewer the better. The fewer ingredients often are the best products. It usually only contains the main ingredients without all the extra garbage.

Costs of foods containing poor ingredients, I'm sad to say will most likely be cheaper than better quality foods. Shop smart. Look for sales, use coupons, buy in bulk, and reduce consumption of packaged foods. Make more of your own things from scratch. Eat more whole foods. Snack on real foods. Small changes go a long way in creating better health as well as reducing your food bills.

To reiterate, if the ingredients list has high fructose corn syrup, sugar, or hydrogenated vegetable oil in the first three ingredients listed then it is not going to be good. Look for ingredients to list sugars much farther back in the ingredients list. Look for the better quality sweetener alternatives like honey, agave nectar, brown rice syrup, raw cane sugar, and stevia. These however, should not be the first ingredient listed. Avoid consumption of foods containing a lot of added sugar. For instance, sugary cereals, pastries and cereal fruit bars. For example, a better cereal choice would be a box of Crispy Brown Rice cereal by the company Erewhon. It has three ingredients: organic brown rice, organic brown rice syrup, sea salt. Their Crispy Brown Rice with Mixed Berries actually contains real freeze dried blueberries, raspberries and strawberries and it too only contains minimal ingredients. No added sugar, flavor, color. No junk.

10 STEP QUICK START
GUIDE TO WELLNESS

We are too busy in our daily lives. Who needs complication, added tedious obligations, and increased hassles by trying to track every detail of changing your habits? This leads away from "flow". The goal is to create "flow". Streamline, simplify, reduce complexity but through efficiency and harmony. Just start taking action on the information you learned. When it comes to nutrition and diet recommendations don't get complicated follow the commonly used adage "K.I.S.S"- Keep It Simple Stupid.

Begin to follow these 10 simple steps first. Focus on the basics:

1.) Eliminate the junk you're eating like fast foods, sugary drinks and candy
2.) Eat more of the items listed as the power foods / super foods everyday
3.) Reduce your portions sizes - use smaller plates to put food on. It's simple.
4.) Eat 3 meals and 2 healthy snacks a day / 5 a day should be your plan.
5.) Take a naturally derived multivitamin mineral supplement plus a
Calcium w Vitamin D and Magnesium supplement
6.) Get the rest you need, go to bed 30 min earlier and getting up 1/2hr earlier
7.) Drink more pure filtered water. Start by having 1 glass as soon as you wake up
8.) Take 5-15 min. a day for yourself in quiet time. Read, Close your Eyes, Sit
9.) Get exercise. At least 20 min.-30 min. at least 4-5 times per week. Even just walking. Do a circuit routine for aerobic and strength conditioning.
10.) Take 3-5 deep breaths several times a day while focusing on something that makes you happy

For those who are detail oriented and work better with complete structure to every detail or those who just don't pay attention to what they are doing, then I would suggest getting a journal for detailing your entire food intake, exercise and your thoughts that day. It can provide great insight into what you're doing right and what you may be doing wrong. It can also be a source of motivation and structure to stay consistent until you have mastered your plan.

LIVE SMART: EAT MORE RAW FOOD
LOSE WEIGHT - HEAL YOUR BODY - GAIN ENERGY AND VITALITY

Raw Foods are the means by which you can heal your body from the inside out. You will lose weight, decrease body fat, increase energy, improve your mental functioning and heal yourself from or stay free of disease.

Dr. David Wolfe is one of the most widely known and respected Raw Food experts. Here is a brief introduction

Beyond Chemicals - David Wolfe

Eating Raw Organic Plants with David Wolfe Originally Moving Beyond the Chemical Age is courtesy of: http://www.lifeandlove.tv In our world of processed junk food nutrition, fresh vegetables have become rare oddities. The raw food diet brings us home to real food. We suggest our viewers become aware of this form of nutrition and then incorporate a significant quantity of fresh live food into their diet. The food we eat effects our physical and mental body. If we are to evolve the planet then we must evolve our diet! David "Avocado" Wolfe is considered by peers to be one of the world's leading authorities on nutrition. David brings the dietary quandary down to three simple words RAW ORGANIC PLANTS.

ORGANIC FOOD

IS MORE NUTRITIOUS

Here Are Some Stats / Check It Out / You May Be Suprised

Organics- this is where the better side of meat is presented. Grass fed organic beef has been found to contain higher levels of Alpha Linolenic Acid, an essential fatty acid not synthesized by the body, which is part of the key omega 3 fatty acids beneficial for healthy cardiovascular function. Grass fed organic beef also has higher levels of vitamin B12 and antioxidants. Meat, eggs, and dairy from organic pasture raised animals have more "good fats" less "bad" fats and contain higher amounts of vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene, ALA, and antioxidants. A cow fed a grain diet that is mainly corn leads to compositional changes and upsets the natural beneficial qualities of the meat. Cows didn't evolve to exist on corn grains; they evolved by eating grass. Do you see cows running around in corn fields pulling ears of corn off the stalks and eating the ears of corn?

Even the USDA is turning a blind eye to the situation. When they were confronted with the data that their numbers in the USDA's National Nutrient Database showed a continual decline in the number of nutrients in fruits and vegetables from 1975 to 2004 they responded "..it is true that in many cases, the apparent nutrient content...decreased. " They also did not pursue any investigation into the matter since informed of this trend in 1999.

Fruits and vegetables grown with synthetic fertilizers (containing synthetic chemical nitrogen) contain 20% less dry matter and more water compared with organic crops. High nitrogen levels makes plants grow faster and absorb more water. These fruits and vegetables may grow bigger and faster which is beneficial for agribusiness but the consumer suffers. We are paying higher prices for a lower nutrient content, poorer tasting, and lower quality product.

Synthetic nitrogen fertilizer increases health risk, adds more water content, results in less actual mass of fruits and vegetables, less actual nutrient content and diluted flavor but leads to more weight. The result is that you pay more money but the nutrient content is diminished. In contrast, organic farmers function in a manner that supports the dynamic yet complex relationship between the roots of crops, natural minerals and microorganisms in the soil. These farms are bound by law and strong regulation as well as personal conviction to utilize methods other than chemical nitrogen fertilizers. They enhance the fertility of the soil by several alternative strategies such as composting, cover crops, farm animal channeling, natural fertilizers and crop rotational systems. The future of agriculture has already shifted strongly in the direction of organics but it is still in its adolescent stages in this new century of food production. Overall, the approach toward food production will best serve humanity, animals and business by fostering a holistic approach to our food systems. A traditional organic production system will bring a sense of balance and harmony, one that will increase the health, vitality and longevity of everyone.

LIVE SMART: WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THE ORGANIC INDUSTRY
LARGE AGRIBUSINESS AND ORGANICS - THE MARRIAGE HAS ALREADY HAPPENED

Here is the handy flow chart guide outlining how large agribusiness is moving in on the Organics movement sometimes with reckless, abusive manipulation leading to marginalization of products or at the least incorporating a portion of non organic ingredients. Do your homework. Don't over pay for things that are not what you expect them to be.

Many of these companies make good products but we must stay vigilant.

Organics is still the way to go but now we must tread diligently and not get duped. Some manufacturers produce foods with only one organic ingredient, some ingredients are not certified to the source or worse.

THE TOP ORGANIC CERTIFICATION AGENCIES

Oregon Tith Certified Organic - OTCO label
Demeter Certified Biodynamic
California Certified Organic Farmers
USDA Certified Organic * can be suspect though

Look for Organic certification by a second certification when USDA is the one listed on the front label. This can add to your assurance of a quality product.

Let's watch these products and stay informed. They may be very good products sporting the new plainly and boldly visible USDA Organic label on the front of them but we also know the USDA has not always acted in your best interest in the past. Many of the products from these companies are good products. Some may not be. They may take a turn to cheapen the products during hard economic times. Take action to keep these companies honest. Demand what you want and don't want in a product. These are tough times and we can afford to choose. If the large conglomerates begin to bastardize or marginalize the product, as has begun to happen on some fronts, we have the power to act together.

IF YOU FEEL THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SOME FOOD ITEMS

Share information,
Expose the problems
Collectively boycott purchases of these products.
Support local small businesses, farmers, and producers

Contact your congress person and voice your opinions regarding organics, food production, chemicals in food etc.

Yes, it is, but not all "organic" labelled food is really "organic" - it has to be certified organic. But it is my choice, as well as, you support good growing practices! And, you do have to pay a much higher price.

LIVE SMART: THE TOP 10 SUPER GREENS FOODS

1. Wheat grass
2. Barley grass
3. Oat grass
4. Alfalfa grass
5. Spirulina
6. Acai berry
7. Goji berry
8. Chlorella
9. Kelp
10. Blue Green Algae

Why Are They Important?

Prevent Disease
Increase Energy
Lose Weight
Purify Your Blood
Balance Your Body's pH
Eliminate Illness

Super foods are best taken in a powdered, tablet, or liquid supplement form and in the morning preferably. You could mix them with juice, juice & water, or put them into a nutritious shake with some fruit & scoop of protien powder. The brands I use are Earth's Promise, Greens Plus, Perfect Greens, Pro Greens. They are just of few of the many that I would recommend. I take a blend every day of two or three of the above mixed together with water in the morning or with a shake after my morning workout. You will definitely get a natural boost of energy and vitality when you start using these supplemental superfood products. If you're body is really toxic then it will take about three days to one week to get your system cleaned out and during this time you may feel less than perky(or maybe not) because your body is purging the toxins in your system. However, after this brief period then you will feel vibrant, energized and mentally charged with explosive power. Important to note here that you must drink lots of water (six to eight 8oz glasses) as well when getting detoxed from a life of poor eating habits so it can flush you out faster and you will feel better quicker.

THESE ARE THE TOP THREE SUPPLEMENTS
YOU SHOULD USE TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

Greens Plus Wild Berry Burst 9.4 oz

Amazon Price: $23.95 (as of 11/26/2009)

Has all the Superfood ingredients plus Probiotics in the highest quality grade. It heals people. I use this and have used it to help people balance their body's pH level wich helped to eliminate many ailments & helped heal the body & improve energy while losing weight.

Whey Protein Greens Plus Wild Berry Burst 26.3 oz

Amazon Price: $37.15 (as of 11/26/2009)

All the Superfoods Greens, plus Probiotics plus a good source of lean protien. Will balance your pH level plus be a great source for a meal supplement to help you achieve a leaner, stronger body.

Garden of Life Primal Defense Ultra Ultimate Probiotics Formula, Capsules, 90-Count Bottle

Amazon Price: $27.19 (as of 11/26/2009)

Now he is the founder of Garden of Life (The fastest growing and arguably most successful natural supplement company) and best selling author.

LIVE SMART / KNOW MRSA

THIS ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT INFECTION KILLS MORE PEOPLE THAN AIDS

"The epidemic explosion of the drug resistant bacteria MRSA has gotten much press in the last couple years and researchers have linked multiple drug resistant bacteriato the indescriminate use of antibioticsin farm animal careMRSA killed FIFTY PERCENT MORE people in 2005 than AIDS The CDC estimates18,650 people died from MRSA and only 12,500 died from Aids in the U.S. in 2005"

Livestock and poultry farmers use antibiotics to facilitate growth as well as to prevent and fight infections in the animals. An added side effect from the administration of synthetic hormones is that the resulting increase in infections and disease results in livestock farmers using increased levels of antibiotics to try to overcome the infections. This leaves a greater residue in the animal which subsequently can make its way down the food chain to you. These substances cause allergic reactions in some people ranging from mild to severe. It also doesn't kill all the bacteria exacerbating the development of drug resistant bacteria. This undermines the effectiveness of drugs used to combat infections in humans whereby putting people at higher risk of illness and death. To make things worse, some farms administer antibiotics as a function of their protocol just in case. Meaning, they use them on livestock even though they don't have an infection. The Center for Science in the Public Interest states it simply. 1.) There is widespread use of human-use antibiotics in livestock production. 2.) Much of that use is routine and prolonged "subtherapeutic" dosing of animals with antibiotics such as penicillin and tetracycline to speed animal growth. 3.) That use causes food borne bacteria and other bacteria to become resistant to the same drugs used to treat bacterial infections in humans.

Imagine trying to say goodbye to someone you love who has only the strength to look at you but cannot respond. Imagine someone so fiercely independent you wouldn't dare try to get in their way. Now see that person so weak, depleted, drained that you're telling them it is ok to let go. Imagine saying goodbye to someone you love that is alive but has only the strength to look at you but cannot respond but in a blank stare. Get the picture!! One last note, the CSPI also notes the following: "The spread of antibiotic-resistant Campylobacter demonstrates the failure of the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) antibiotics policies. Fluoroquinolones(antibiotics) are critically important for treating life-threatening food borne and other bacterial infections. Even the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention urged the FDA not to approve fluoroquinolones for treating flocks of poultry, but the FDA caved in to drug-industry pressure. As a result the predicted problem has occurred: Campylobacter, which causes food poisoning, is becoming resistant to fluoroquinolones. That will make it harder to treat those illnesses. If Salmonella becomes resistant, illnesses may be fatal." In fact the CDC- Center for Disease Control states that these infections caused problems in treating illnesses with increased rates of illness and death.

Get Informed, Take Action, Prepare, Get Healthy

LIVE SMART: WHAT TO DO NOW TO PREVENT SWINE FLU

I firmly believe that this is just the initial warning phase for this virus. If you prepare now then if and when this virus mutates and becomes more deadly you will be able to prevent and overcome this condition.

What You Should Do Now:

* Get occicillinum, colloidal silver, probiotics(beneficial living microorganisms), a naturally derived multivitamin supplement. Have these on hand to take during flu season and if an outbreak occurs.

* Get a water filter that will remove all toxins including parasites and if possible Fluoride as well. Consider a manual pumping action version for full versatility & preparedness if electicity is out for extended periods.

* Start taking a greens based supplement such as Perfect Greens, Greens Plus or Pro Greens. Stock up with at least 1 month supply.

* Don't eat anything with high fructose corn syrup, get off all milk and meat that has hormones and antibiotics. Starting now to improve your immune system's strength will be more effective than attempting to start it during the flu season and your body will be better prepared

* Use a hand sanitizer, wash your hand as often as possible and get at least 7 hrs of sleep per night.

* Develop an emergency plan to be ready by flu season. Include preparedness plans that include, a minimum 7 day emergency kit, food, water, medications, communications, safe zone etc. Ready.gov is a good starting point for your planning. You may want to consider a 14 day emergency supply of necessities.

TOP THREE DISEASE PREVENTION ITEMS
BOOST IMMUNE SYSTEM / PREVENT INFECTION

Amazon Price: $21.59 (as of 11/26/2009)

Amazon Price: $22.61 (as of 11/26/2009)

FOOD Inc. An In Depth Look At The Food Supply In America and Your Health

Since the advent of the agricultural revolution, American agriculture has evolved into American agribusiness which has grown exponentially during the 20th century and into this century. A handfull of companies dominate the entire food supply chain from seed to store. They continue to produce more food than it ever has before to keep up with demands of ever increasing population both domestically and abroad. At the same time we are showing a continual decline in the vitamins, minerals and trace elements that have proven to be vital to sustaining a healthy, robust life. As we forgot about Mother Nature, we shifted food production & distribution methodology.

We turned to toxic chemicals, factory farming, genetic manipulation and bastarized food products with little nutritional value as we evolved into a convenience oriented fast food society loaded with chronic disease and poor health in epidemic proportions. The inexorable link between the foods we eat, poor health and disease are no longer being ignored.

This movie comes out June 12th. You owe it to yourself and family to check it out.

Food Inc - Official Trailer [HD]

Release Date: 12 June 2009 Genre: Documentary Cast: Michael Pollan, Eric Schlosser Director: Robert Kenner Writer: Robert Kenner Studio: Magnolia Pictures Plot: An unflattering look inside America's corporate controlled food industry.

This page is jam-packed full of information! I think that every so often we need a reminder to keep us on track. I tend to get lazy after a while so thanks for re-motivating me. 5*

Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation

The mission of the Prevent Cancer Foundation is cancer prevention and early detection through research, education and community outreach to all populations, including children and the underserved.

We at Squidoo passionately believe in creating new ways to support good causes online. By making a donation to Cancer Research and Prevention Foundation from this page, you are sending money directly to that organization, in whatever amount you want. We don't touch it. We don't even see it. The author of this page doesn't either. And if you made it this far, thanks for caring.
