Protein

 Think he nailed it.  Easy to remember. Easy to understand. Feed your kids fresh fruits and vegetables, grass-fed additive-free meats and fish, and whole grains.  Lean toward organic farming whenever possible as it  is natural farming minus the use of unnatural chemicals.  When you go to your local farmer’s markets or grocery store, remember Dr. Bob’s advice.  You’ll instinctively stay away from processed foods.  As you have heard before, shop the outer perimeter of the store and skip the inner isles as much as possible.

Jimmy Moore lost 180 pounds in one year by eating fat and no sugar.  He followed the Atkin’s Diet – followed it exactly – which means he ate at least 4 cups of leafy vegetables every day.  Most people overlook that part of the diet.  Jimmy also chose the good fat sources and did not eat pounds of bacon.  Good health was his motivation and still is.  This is why he has kept the weight down. 

Fat will increase you metabolic process, a good thing.  Sugar stimulates the release of insulin which leads to storage of fat in the body, a bad thing.  Jimmy has lived following a diet combining good sources of fat, protein and complex carbohydrates.  He has canned simple process carbs – sugar.  So can you. 

Having been morbidly obese at 480 pounds, he knows why adults and children are obese… they eat lots of simple carbs and little else.  Go to You Tube and type in Jimmy Moore.  You will be endlessly entertained while being educated by Jimmy and his wife, Christine!

Have you always thought that inflammation is a just the swollen area where have been hurt – a cut or sprained ankle?  You are right and wrong.  Inflammation is a reaction that occurs in your body when it deals with a foreign organism or trauma. Dr. Keri Marshall explained the connection between inflammation and disease.  When a cell becomes inflammed, it is filled with extra fluid, the rescue program.  Unfortunately this becomes a problem when this extra fluid hangs around in a chronic state.  Then the needed nutrients do not enter the cell and the waste materials does not leave.  This fluid becomes stagnet and invites disease.  Stagnet waters breed unwanted micro-organisms.  So does the stagnet fluid in your cells.  You may notice the heat coming out of an inflammed area, however, this is hard to detect from an internal organ. 

What do you do?  First, don’t eat foods that breed inflammation such as sugar.  Second, eat foods that deter inflammation such as artichokes.  Have your adrenal glands checked.  Get massages and/or exercise.  Sleep for at least 8 hours a night … don’t laugh (turn off your computer and TV and go to bed). Reduce your stress level (say NO to what is not possible to do in time available).  Be in tune with your body.
