As a healthy individual, I wasn’t expecting to hear anything but “normal” from my test results. Come to find out, I have borderline high total cholesterol! Good total cholesterol is under 200, borderline is 200-239 and high is 240 and above… and I’m right smack dab in the middle of the borderline numbers. There are a lot of factors that influence your blood cholesterol. Diet and physical activity are the two you’ve probably heard of but genetics, weight, age, gender, alcohol consumption and stress are also factors. For a lot of people, including me, finding out you have high cholesterol is both shocking and confusing. So, you have your numbers (probably including  triglyceride...

At some point we decided to pull out our Flip cameras and do some interviews. Matt posted his interview with me today. We talked about some of my ongoing experiments with raw and cooked foods (it’s been a while since I posted an update about that), creating social support for change, and how to achieve new income goals. Hope you enjoy it. In another interview we did, I asked Matt and Angela some questions about the raw diet and simple steps people can take to eating healthier. As soon as Erin edits it and uploads it, I’ll be happy to share it here as well. Achieve new breakthroughs in your habits, career,...

Well, here’s the thing, you really can’t. But that didn’t stop a couple filmmakers from declaring today a special day in the fight against diabetes. The specific topic the organizers behind this movement are highlighting is raw food. Now, it’s funny that this has come up because we just had our great interview and giveaway with the author of the Live Food Factor. She, along with celebrity Carol Alt, have spoken out about this same topic, and the healing properties of switching to this kind of diet. Apparently the organizers of Reversing Diabetes Day made a film in which Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics ” are challenged to give up their traditional Americ...

You ready? It’s: Veronica Garrett! Veronica thought the book sounded great, and I must admit, I think the same thing. I was so intrigued by our interview with Susan Schenck that I did some research and discovered that Carol Alt has been on a raw food diet for about 15 years. And if you’ve seen Carol Alt lately, she looks great! No way does she look close to 50 years old. In reading an interview with Carol, I was surprised to learn that a raw food diet isn’t necessarily a vegan diet. I think that’s one reason I always shunned it. She also said that she eats like a football player (hard to believe) and that the diet cured her of many things like allergies and acid stomach. Im...

(Please read Parts 1 and 2, and don’t forget to enter our giveaway of Susan’s book.) Have people really been healed from disease from a raw food diet? Could you share an example from someone you’ve met? Studies at various clinics have shown that by eating 80-85% of your calories raw, most people can avoid degenerative diseases. People using a 100% raw food diet have even been able to reverse disease. Entire books have been written by people sharing their stories of healings using a raw food diet—healing from diabetes, colitis, various types of cancers, asthma, thyroid conditions, obesity, AIDs, hepatitis, and more. Some of the people I have met or c...

Don’t forget to read Part 1 of our interview and enter our giveaway for Susan’s book. What’s the number one thing people are surprised about when they learn more about a raw food diet? People find it incomprehensible that cooked food is toxic. Not just processed food. (Most people know that is bad.) But even your standard baked potato has been found to have 400 toxic byproducts that result from cooking. Research by Dr. Paul Kouchakoff (and later Dr. Howard Loomis) has proven that when you eat cooked food, your white blood cells increase. This means your body is trying to fight off an invasion. But if you eat the food raw, this phenomenon doesn’t occur. In 1916, Louis Maillard proved...

Here’s what I learned from December/January issues of popular fitness and health publications. 1. At your family dinner or office party, concentrate your efforts on making the right food decisions and always choose the lighter fare. Women’s Health tells us to select sliced ham instead of a turkey drumstick, mashed potatoes over stuffing and large olives over a handful of mixed nuts. The magazine also dishes out recipes for “gravy that won’t go to your gut,” “finger food without all the fat,” and “don’t-get-fat French toast.” 2. Also, consider your choice of accessories wisely. It could end up ruining your dieting efforts. On that same page of Women’s Health: “Carry a cute clutch. You’ll look great, an...

This month’s theme day is Schools Out and today is the day it happens here at the Health and Wellness Channel. I have a few healthy diabetic snack tips for keeping straight this summer. Instead of grabbing a cookie from the cookie jar or munching on a bag of Doritos why not have healthy and sugar free snacks waiting in the wings… 5 Ready to go diabetic friendly snacks: 1. Pre-cut celery and carrots and place them in a big Ziploc bag- you can open the fridge and grab a handful. They are crunchy and will fill your belly. 2. Popcorn- whether you throw it in the microwave or make it in an air popper… it will take less then 5 minutes and you can pop ...

Most people have the monthly cycle of rent, food and utility bills, robbing Peter to pay Paul, as well as the need to conserve energy and save the planet. So often, it is the tiny things, the small extravagances that snap the spine of the bank balance. It is because of these tiny things that I determine to eradicate all extraneous and frivolous expenditure. I think these thoughts as I wrangle with the child safety cap on the jar. One of the best ways to save pennies, which of course will expand into many thousands of spare dollars, is by controlling the kitchen. Most of us have freezers and the careful homemaker makes full use of it’s magical powers. Why make one, when two are c...

If you are already feeling like it might not be a bad idea to talk about something else besides vaccines and mercury in regard to autism, you can read about a new play about an autistic boy and his parents, God’s Middle Name; it will be performed on Saturday in Ottawa (interesting to me is that the same actor plays both the son and the father). Would you like to be autistic for a day? The June 14th Moonee Valley Community quotes Val Gill as saying this.
