1st Step to Optimal Health (Mini Post)

Hi Friends!

In the last post about A-nutrients, I talked briefly about a book called The Optimal Health Revolution. If you haven't read my last post, this book is about the underlying cause of all of our major diseases today- persistent inflammation- and how we can prevent it. The author, Dr. Duke Johnson, also made a 25-step plan to take us on the road to Optimal Health. Every so often, I'll discuss some of these steps. Today, I'm going to talk about the 1st step.

So, the first step to Optimal Health is.... drum roll please......

1. Eat more fruits and vegetables! 7-9 servings is optimal!

Sound familiar? You betcha! This has come up time and time again in my previous blog posts. No one can stress the important of eating your fruits and veggies enough- you simply must have them in order to be healthy. Try to incorporate more fruits and veggies into your lifestyle- no amount is too much. Plant a garden, take your family grocery shopping, research about fruits and veggies (or simply read this blog!), have your family help you plan meals..... there's endless possiblities to how you can teach yourself and the people around you the importance of fruits and vegetables and add more into your daily diet.

 For more information, here's a link to a video with Dr. Johnson as he explains his book: http://www.katu.com/amnw/segments/50237297.html

If you have any questions, comments, or concerns on this post or on the video, please email me or comment on this blog. I'll be more than happy (more like euphoric!) to answer/respond.

Thanks for reading! See you all again soon!
