You’ve tried it all: the pills, the programs, the hormone replacement, the shakes
and surgery. To no avail there’s still more “love” on your body than you are
comfortable with. What gives? Doesn’t anyone know how to help me? The sad
truth is that doctors are trained on how the body works, but not how to fix it. You
are your best doctor. And here’s what you can do in the comfort of your own
home.
#1 Eat more raw fruits and vegetables: Enzymes are found in raw fruits and
vegetables and repair our aging body.
#2 Don’t eat meat with bread! They both provide energy. And the body will use
the bread first and store the meat away till “later”. But if later never comes, it will
sit on your thigh forever!
#3 Salad a day keeps internal plumbing working properly.
#4 Take antioxidants. Think about all the toxins you come in contact with. They
invade the body and cause cancer among other things. Even if you ate a perfect
diet, your body would still need help.
#5 Good energy. Comes from slow burning protein. NUTS: trail mix, a protein
bar with at least 12 grams of protein, carrot sticks, fresh green beans, soy
beans. It takes the body longer to burn through these and you are getting lots of
nutrition in the process!
#6 Move the body. Make 2 lists. One is the exercise you love. The other is what
you hate. Pick 3 things you love and will do 3 times a week for 20 minutes. Find
a buddy. Give yourself a reward each time you go out.
#7 Anxiety Management: When we are stressed our body goes into “Fight or
Flight”. With that comes elevated heart rate, tense muscles, digestion stops,
blood flows to extremities and brain to prepare itself. Instead, find 10 minutes at
the end of each day to sit in peace and quiet in a comfortable place, close your
eyes, take deep breaths, feel calm and imagine your body slowing down.
This is just a start!
Very truly yours, Tamra
