1. Limit liquid intake before and during a meal (digestion).
2. Exercise on an empty stomach (am or pm). According to Women's World magazine (April 18, 2011 on page 12) we burn more fat when we exercise on an empty stomach.
3. Eat at the same time every day so that the body knows what to expect.
4. Chew gum for at least 1 hour a day (metabolism). (Don't do if you have GERD. If you have GERD, eat 2 to 5 servings of applesauce per day for at least 1 month.)
5. Keep a good pH balance for healthy cell function.
6. Do an Iodine test to make sure there is no deficiency there. (Use USP iodine, not the substitute, to color test on your arm. Swab a 2 inch patch of it on the upper arm. If it disappears in 1 to 2 hours, there is a deficiency. Look at my article on iodine for foods to eat to get more iodine and it's metabolic functions.)
7. Do little exercises while doing something else... dancing a little while doing house chores, wagging foot while studying or reading, chair dancing while doing routine work on the home computer, playing with a pet(s), foot shifting while cooking, jaw exercises when no one is looking...
8. Eat smaller amounts so that the stomach will start to expect less. This will cut down on hunger pains eventually. A tuna kit with crackers and tuna salad is an ideal meal for a woman. A man might get away with two as a meal. 6 regular sized grapes is one serving size. An apple or banana is usually 2 servings of fruit.
9. Keep a log or diary of food intake and other health items.
10. Substitute Stevia or honey for sugar (raw sugar at the most). No high fructose corn syrup. No MSG... search on rense.com for article on msg and a list of ingredients it is hidden in.
11. Eat fresher for more enzymes and nutrients.
12. Do juicing for one of your 5 small meals per day.
13. Stay hydrated with water. No other beverage counts towards hydration. Up to 1/2 gallon a day is usually fine for healthy adults. ***According to an established medical professional, this amount of water can be fatal for someone with certain illnesses.**** Too much water on a regular basis is hard on some organs. The body can only use so much water at any given time.
14. Have one set day per week where you can go off your diet. This will be useful to keep your metabolism from sabotaging you and will bolster will power because you'll have a reward to look forward to.
15. Have a card playing night with three of your friends. Play an active game that requires speed like Nurtz (spelling). It works with two people, but competition is encouraged more with a 4-some. This isn't a lot of exercise... but, it is exercise you won't notice.
16. Use object oriented exercise. This takes your mind off the chore of exercising and places it with another activity. Walk around the neighborhood picking up litter, walk a dog, teach herbology on a nature hike (volunteer an activity at a local state park), pick up aluminum cans alongside a back road (with a companion?), volunteer as a teachers aide in a grade school (picking up chairs at the end of the day or playground duty)...
17. Turn a stationary bike into a friction generator that powers some needed electrical appliance. A cell phone charger is a good choice. Using this for a cell phone charger might also reduce dirty electricity. (This might fit under the heading of object oriented exercise.)
18. Chew your food longer. This requires more saliva and saliva helps digestion. Chewing longer also means a slower processing. Fast processing of food dumps more sugar into the blood stream. The body can only use so much at a time.
19. Add both soluble (coffee for example) and insoluble fiber to each meal. Fiber can also play a role in a slower processing of food.
20. Get enough good sleep. The body can only handle so many crises at a time. Good sleep, diet and exercise makes for a healthy body.
