Helpful Hints that I found work for me
1- I try to make 50% of the food I eat each day raw fruits and vegetables. Most of this comes in the green smoothies and lettuce salads.
2- Eat only foods made with whole grains. Stay away from processed foods like white flour and white sugar.
3- Do not drink anything with your meals. Try not to drink at least 15 minutes before either. The body seems to absorb and use the food better without being diluted with liquid. I even take my pills with food now instead of liquid.
4- Exercise, exercise, exercise. Do something that gets your heart rate up. Doing it with someone else makes it more enjoyable and encourages you to keep at it.
5- Get out in the sunshine. Take a walk, rake some leaves, read a book, just do something. It is amazing how much better you feel after 30 minutes in the sun and fresh air.
6- Drink plenty of water. A good general rule is 1/2 your body weight in ounces. If you weigh 120 pounds, you should drink 60 oz of water.
