I am always on the look out for a great summary of my ideas on healthy living…and I came across this site. Here is the “Health Ranger’s” Health Tips. They coincide with mine perfectly…so I wanted to share them with you. I am in absolute AWE of how most of this country eats…and what they allow their children to eat. It’ s so saddening. Also, please check out this alternative to the traditional “Food Pyramid”.

Health Tips

• Exercise regularly: some form of cardio at least three times a week!
• Drink lots of water, it’s mother nature’s most versatile medicine
• Get 6-9 hours of sleep daily
• Meditate
• Buy locally grown, organic goods, preferably in season, as often as you can
• Nutritional supplements: whole food supplements, organic vitamins, Standard Process tablets, Alive! supplements, vitamin C
• Rainforest herbs: Amazon herbs, chanca piedra, etc.
Enjoy one hour of full exposure to intense natural sunlight on a near-daily basis with no sunscreen (important for vibrational nutrition and essential for mental health, bone density, vitamin D production, etc.)
• Take absolutely no prescription drugs or pharmaceuticals whatsoever
• No visits to M.D.s or western medical doctors (visit naturopathic physicians only)
• No following the USDA’s ridiculous Food Guide Pyramid
• No steroids, andro supplements or other questionable bodybuilding supplements
