10 Smart Health Resolutions that can improve your health, and quality of life.

Picture

#6:  Eliminate GMOs, chemicals,     
  pesticides and processed foods.    

➡ Buy local, organic produce and animal products.  More and more people are seeking out and buying from local producers so they know where their food is coming from.  There are great places to find farmers that sell you a "share" of their crop and have a fresh box ready for pick up on harvest days.  Find one in your area by clicking here:  Find a local CSA (Community Sustainable Agriculture).

➡ You can also find organic produce buying groups on websites where groups "meet up" such as this one for the Inland Empire in California.  The people in charge of these groups work hard to bring you fresh organic produce at a discount price use the buying power of the group.  You just go and pick it up.  Some farmers will deliver right to your door such as this one called "Farm Fresh to You" also located in the Inland Empire.


➡ Grow you own.  By growing your own food you know exactly what has been done to the food.  It is not as hard as you think, and can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars per year so you can buy more organic, antibiotic free, and hormone free meats along with Omega 3 rich sustainable seafood.

➡ Buy in season.  When fruits and vegetables are in season they cost less.  This is also a great strategy for helping to afford organic choices.  When you buy peaches in January they will certainly cost more.  Instead buy winter vegetables during that time of year and save money.

➡ Start cooking your own meals.  Cooking your own meals keeps the ingredients real, and the salt at a minimum.  For the cost of one meal at a restaurant or fast food joint you could feed your family several meals of home cooked food.  This helps you have more money to buy organic when you want.  Don't think you have to cook up some fancy meal like the trained chefs on television.  Instead opt for simple meals that can be prepared ahead of time, in one pan, or a crockpot so food can be ready when you get home. 


➡ One trick is to buy something like Amy's spicy chili and add more ingredients.  Empty one can of chili to the pan, and then add another can of organic black or chili beans (can be found at the 99 cent store), some canned tomatoes, fresh onion, bell or jalapeno pepper, some frozen organic corn and spices and now you can feed three times the servings.  The canned chili provides the base, and you just add the extras.

➡ Buy in bulk and when foods are on sale.  For foods like beans and rice, you can get added savings when you buy in bulk.  To help afford more organic choices, when you find a product that you know your family loves, purchase several of them at the discounted price and store away.  Some examples that have ended up in my garage were Nature's Path organic Gorilla Munch for $2.50/box, organic beans at the 99 cent store for 2 cans/$1.00, organic juice for $1.50 a bottle, and even organic chicken, steak, and ground beef for 50% off which made it cost less than the conventional meat.  Will buy as many as 20 sale items and take home and store in the garage or freezer.

➡ Go to farmers markets.  Cutting out brokers (product salespeople), distributors (the truck that stores products in warehouses and delivers to the store by truck), and the retail seller (multiple expenses from real estate to employee cost, means big time savings for you.  That is what farmers markets do, they cut out the cut that all of those people along the way need to make and splits the money saved between you and the farmer.  This saves the farmer, who takes all the risk, from making the least amount through the system, and also passing on discounts to the customer.  


➡ Chances are most of the produce sold at the farmers market was picked either that day or the day before.  When you buy whole foods, there is no processing, adding of chemicals, and you can choose to buy organic right from the source.  LocalHarvest.org also helps you locate farmers markets in your area.

Added Vitamins and Fortification:  Many think vitamins are from natural sources, but are actually cr
From animal sources that were fed GMO products:  Dairy products that come from cows that are fed GMO food sources, and/or are give GMO drugs.  GMO corn and cottonseed is two sources that are highly contaminated with not only GMOs but pesticides as well.  Cottonseed is one of the most highly sprayed crops of all.
Artificial sweeteners like vitamins are made from GMO processes.
With 94% of all corn produced in the USA coming from GMOs, you must assume that any corn additive to also be GMO.
With 97% of all soy grown in the USA you must assume that all soy products are GMO.
Industrially processed oils are also GMO.

"Synthetic vitamins are made in a laboratory setting from coal tar derivatives. No co-factors are present. Most of the food supplements sold on the market today are synthetic and often cheaper to produce than natural vitamins. " - Dr. George Obikoya

Start By Drinking Water

Dr. Jacky Chan, LLU
Water Researcher

After reviewing the Seventh Day Adventist Health Study, the longest in the world, Dr. Jacky Chan was able to determine that those that drank the most water could reduce their risk of a heart attack and their risk of a stroke by 50%, but only if it's pure water.  Dehydrating drinks, don't add  hydration like water, but instead use up water.  Carbonated drinks, especially beverages that contain caffeine  are examples. When our bodies are deprived of plain water, it causes blood to thicken and clots easier. Can happen while we sleep too.  Drinking a glass in the middle of the night offers more protection as it reduces the chances we are getting dehydrated.  Plain water is readily absorbed, where other drinks have to first be filtered taking more energy and time to get to cells that need it for optimal performance and no clotting.

Over 90% of vitamins sold in supplements or used to fortify food are synthetic vitamins that are probably also GMO.  Below in our interview with Dr. Seneff we talk about how the synthetic and food based vitamins react in our bodies.  The synthetic sources  can  have negative effects so important to just avoid them if possible.

Dr. Stephanie Seneff is a well respected researcher from MIT University.  She had studied biology while an undergraduate and then went on to study computer engineering.  She then became interested in what was happening to our food system and turned her scientific expertise to analyzing research and look for the implications of what this meant to our health and environment. She worked with Anthony Samsel on many projects and publishing papers on their finding.  Anthony was successful after many attempts to force the Environmental Protection Agency to give him a copy on Monsanto long term studies and their Round Up Herbicide active ingredient GLYPHOSATE used on all GMO crops that the EPA had buried and hid from the public since the 1970s when it was originally determined to be cancer causing and WAS NOT approved.  The World Health Organization just declared Round Up CANCER CAUSING, and looked at the whole product not just the active ingredient glyphosate.  There are many "secret" ingredients used in the product with some more toxic than the active ingredients.  Sometimes these other ingredients interact to cause even more toxicity.  Monsanto learned to no longer do toxic studies and now limits first who can study their products to only Monsanto scientists, no outsiders, and only allows them to be done for 3 months not 1-2 years like the original studies.  They know that after three months is when the problems are revealed and because to manifest and show.  
People not only want to hear what Dr. Stephanie Seneff has to say about how GMOs are reacting in our bodies, block reactions, chelating minerals, and messing with our hormones and brain, but also what she recommends we do to avoid those consequences, heal, and start down the path to a healthier lifestyle free of all of these risks.  Watch this section of the interview to find out her suggestions of steps you should take to improve your health and start down the path to a new lifestyle and hopefully a new life filled with health and vitality!  Think you'll find that Dr. Seneff believes in many of the recommendations you'll find right here on Smart Health Talk!

Dr. V. A. Shiva Ayyadurai, inventor of email and systems analyst created the first email system at age 14 and even gave us the name "email." He has four MIT degrees including a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, two Masters degrees with one in Theoretical Mechanics and the another in Visual Studies from the media lab. He topped it off with a MIT PhD in Biological Engineering and Systems Biology. His most recent invention is CytoSolve which is a technology that allows one to model complex molecular pathways and biologic phenomenon on the computer. CytoSolve can be used to create new pharmeticutals, functional foods, and therapeutics without the need to kill animals. Most recently CytoSolve was used to discover a drug for multi combination therapy for pancreatic cancer which has been allowed for use by the FDA and is now going to clinical trials. CytoSolve was the technology that showed how genetically modified organisms (GMOs) DISRUPT the molecular pathways of plants and why Dr. Ayyadurai is calling for immediate action to create standards for assessing the safety of GMOs. Dr. Shiva became interested in GMOs after seeing a MIT magazine cover that said, "Buy fresh, buy GMOs" and felt like misleading message.
