Book Review of the Recipe For Living Without Disease by Aajonus Vonderplanitz

Paleo Diet:

Aajonus Vonderplanitz is known to be an eccentric healer who suggests a lot of raw meat, raw fat and some stinky raw rotten meats for healing. This book enlightens the reader about the science and the lengthy experience behind those recommendations. At the end of reading this book, you will want to experiment with the Primal Diet yourself.

Book Review of the Recipe For Living Without Disease by Aajonus Vonderplanitz

In volume 1, Aajonus begins by giving a colorful background of how he had learned about these things by experience in curing his own diseases and with that of his patients. He then moves on to explain the true causes of disease, toxicity and how to reverse it. Aajonus tweaks your curiousity on why you eat cooked food and processed food and the seemingly funny but often asked question is can we digest raw food? Then there are the questions of bacteria, sleep and bowel movements.

In volume 2, Aajonus explains about taste and explains more about the best raw foods and food combining for proper digestion and assimilation. Aajonus moves on to optimizing his raw food diet in a recipe for removing deep tissue toxicity, for weight loss, for travel and baby food. Next are the all important recipes, how to make them and what they are good at addressing which health conditions. Read, re-read, print out this section and have a bound copy in your kitchen.

In volume 3, Aajonus explains more about the science of nutrition, the cholesterol myth and why real raw food is better than processed supplements.

In volume 4, Aajonus exposes the wayward direction of modern western medicine, how their false concepts of disease, germs and parasites have brought detriment millions of people around the world.

This book belongs to your small library of must-read and must-keep books for reference. Aajonus' experiences as not just a long time raw foodist's but as a long time healer of many people is a treasure that must be documented and preserved. It is unfortunate that I found myself lactose intolerant and cannot consume raw dairy. But besides my intolerance to dairy, I find that the principles laid out by Aajonus are all solid.

The book The Recipe for Living Without Disease is Aajonus Vonderplanitz' second book after he wrote his first book, The Primal Diet: We Want to Live. It is available at http://storesonline.com/site/811618/page/1840437

Losing a Pound a Day With the Mono Diet - How to Eat Only One Type of Food to Lose Weight

Paleo Diet:

Losing a pound a day with the Mono Diet may seem difficult to many, but this article will tell you how. More importantly, we will tell you how to eat only one type of food to lose weight so make sure to read the entire article.

Losing a Pound a Day With the Mono Diet - How to Eat Only One Type of Food to Lose Weight

One of the classics when it comes to being healthy and slim is losing a pound a day with the Mono Diet. Most people cannot keep up with this strategy while in fact it is so easy to follow. It is not like those complicated programs wherein they will ask you to eat various foods with specific measurements leaving you puzzled. The reason that most people do not want to try this program is that they think that they would be eating a single kind of food every day for the rest of their lives. Losing a pound a day with the Mono Diet is eating a single kind of food every meal. It does not mean that you have to eat the same foodstuff in all three meals daily. Some people suggest that raw chow will make the best choice for this kind of weight-loss program because of its higher nutritional value.

As we all know, there are three groups of foods. There are foods that are high in carbohydrates, high in protein, and those with starches. Examples of those that have high protein are eggs, cheese, eggs, meat, and fish. On the other hand, those with high carbohydrates, which are healthy, are fruits and vegetables. Lastly, those with starches are potatoes, pasta, bread, and pasta. Below is a concrete example of this program:

1. For breakfast, you can eat an apple and two bananas to give you the needed energy to last for as much as 24 hours.

2. You can eat a half-roasted chicken without the skin. Roast is better than frying chicken to avoid fattening oils sticking to the chicken.

3. Three baked potatoes will suit your evening appetite. Frying potatoes is not a good choice so it should either be roasted or baked.

List of Autoimmune Diseases, Could You Have One?

Paleo Diet:

Definition - "Autoimmune diseases are illnesses and conditions that result from an overactive immune response to substances, tissues, and organs, normally present in the body. The immune system attacks its own cells due to the system mistaking part of the body as a pathogen."

List of Autoimmune Diseases, Could You Have One?

The list of autoimmune diseases, more than 100 of them to date, reads like an encyclopedia of modern illnesses. By far, the largest category of diseases under study by scientists, medical professionals and organizations (like the Center for Disease Control - CDC, and the National Institute of Health - NIH), specific autoimmune diseases are named, based upon the organ or tissue being attacked by the body's natural defenses.

Included in the list of autoimmune diseases, "autoimmune inner ear disease," also known as Meniers Disease, antibodies/immune cells attack the inner ear leading to hearing loss and vertigo. In "autoimmune multiple sclerosis," the immune system attacks the protective coating, myelin, around the nerves affecting the brain and spinal cord and causing muscle weakness, loss of coordination, and vision and speech difficulties.

"Autoimmune fibromyalgia" is probably the most widely known of the list of autoimmune diseases, in which muscle and tendon tissues are under attack by the immune system. This gives rise to a variety of symptoms including body tenderness, painful trigger points, extreme fatigue and a variety of other conditions which include insomnia, anxiety, headaches, hypersensitivity to sounds, lights, temperature, etc.

The treatment of different autoimmune diseases varies, but steroids, anti-inflamatory drugs, and immunosuppressant's, are widely used to treat the list of autoimmune diseases. New treatments and medications are being developed all the time. If you have been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, working one-on-one with a specialist in the treatment of your disease, and self-education about your specific illness, will help you to cope.

The self-education part of managing your disease is vital to your ability to overcome the symptoms. Many foods are catalysts in the list of autoimmune diseases.... meaning, they trigger an autoimmune response in the body. Avoiding allergens and autoimmune triggers requires some research and record-keeping on your part, although your doctor may be able to give you a list of foods and medications to avoid.

In the case of these chronic autoimmune illnesses, inflammation of the body's tissues is caused at lease in part, by the lack of proper blood flow to the affected tissues. This makes it easier for the immune system to attack those tissues because they're already weakened. The entire list of autoimmune diseases and their symptoms can be treated naturally and effectively by improvements to your overall health. In some cases, like autoimmune fibromyalgia and autoimmune chronic fatigue syndrome, nutritional benefits can include symptom control. Improving your diet by including a good source of protein, vitamins, minerals and antioxidants is one way you can manage your disease and your life.

How To Start a Running Program

Paleo Diet:

Running or jogging is one of the best ways there is to lose weight fast. It burns tons of calories and gets your body burning fat. Running strengthens the heart, lungs and can be done just about anywhere at anytime.

How To Start a Running Program

The problem is most people don't know where to begin and usually do it wrong.

In this article I am going to show you an effective way to start a running or jogging program without killing yourself.

The first mistake people make when they begin a running or jogging program is that they run too fast. This will leave you out of breath and spent in about 5 or 10 minutes. When this happens people generally think to themselves that anyone who runs is crazy or likes punishing themselves.

This simply is not true. Once I found out how to run properly, I was able to run a few miles with ease and comfort.

I had been running for about a month and was up to two miles. But at the end of these two miles, I felt as if I was going to keel over and die. My legs hurt. My lungs hurt. Everything felt wrong.

I thought I would just keep running these two miles until it became easier, but it never did. It got harder, if anything.

Then I heard about a guy named Stu Mittleman. This guy had run from San Diego to New York in 56 days. Basically Stu ran two marathons a day for 56 days. So I bought his book called Slow Burn and it completely changed any negative feelings I had about running.

The first thing I did was bought a heart rate monitor. This cost around 100 dollars and was the best purchase I have ever made. It allowed me to monitor my heart rate and stay at a comfortable running level, even while running up hills.

What I did, was started running at 50 to 70% of my maximum heart rate. At first, I felt like I was going too slow and not getting a good workout. But within a week, I was able to run 4 miles without any problems. The best thing was that after the four miles, I felt incredible. Instead of feeling like I was going to die before, I actually felt better.

To find your targeted heart rate zone, do the following:

Subtract your age from 220. Then multiply this by .50 and .70 and that will give you your targeted zone.

Example: Age 28

220-28 = 192

192 x .50 = 96

192 x .70 = 134

By this example, if you are 28, then you should be running in the heart rate zone of 96 to 134. To make it easier to remember, just round it up to 100-135.

If you are running in this zone, you will probably be very comfortable and be able to run a good distance.

You see, the problem people usually face is that they start off running too fast. You just need to slow down. It isn't necessarily how hard you run, but that you are moving as much as possible, as often as possible.

Once you begin to add mileage, you will get in better shape and be running faster anyways. You just won't be working any harder. Your body will adapt, and you will begin to move more efficiently, without more effort.

This program worked perfect for me, and has turned me into a runner for life. I hope it does the same for you.

Eliminate Distractions With a Paleo Meal Planner

Paleo Diet:

If you want to be successful on the Paleo diet, then it is vital that you follow through with a meal planner.

Eliminate Distractions With a Paleo Meal Planner

When you are on a diet, you will need enough discipline and self-control so that you can succeed. If you do not prepare for the following days, weeks or months what you plan to go through on a daily basis, you will be easily distracted from your goal. That is why so many people who attempt to complete a diet program end up giving up during the early parts of their program and give in to an unhealthy way of eating.

A meal planner provides you the structure, discipline and accountability to go on with your diet no matter what. The inevitable result of this course is success in your diet program. As time goes by you will find that following a meal planner becomes easier and easier.

The Advantage

Why does it become easier? Well, that is normal for anything that you do constantly: it becomes easier the more you do it. And you will find it all the more easier if you are following a plan instead of winging it all the time.

But the real secret is that a Paleo diet does not require that you count every single calorie that you take in with every meal. On the contrary, eat as much as you can to fill yourself, so long as you eat only the recommended Paleo foods and not the preservative-rich processed foods. No more suffering hunger pains once you have reached the limit for the amount of food or calories that you can take in for the day.

Another benefit is that as a result of eating more protein-rich meals, you will find that you do not feel hunger easily. As such, you do not need to eat at exact schedules, like breakfast, lunch and dinner. You only eat when you start to feel hungry. That is also the advantage of having a planned meal because you do not just pick up whatever food is nearby.

The Roadmap to Health

A meal planner is not really required, but it is a very helpful guide to get you to reach your goal of going through a Paleo diet. While it is not the be-all and end-all of dieting, it does provide a much easier and less painful way of losing weight and becoming healthier. A map may not be required when going through a journey, but without a map, a traveler might easily be lost. He or she might reach the destination, but it would take longer than if the map was available.

Once you are familiar with the process, with the route if you prefer the map metaphor, you can easily travel without the need of a map, just as you travel within your own home town, or a city you are familiar with, without the need of such a map.

This means that you no longer need to prepare for each week or month what you want to eat. You are already familiar with the process and it comes as naturally as it did before you knew of this diet. It has become a comfortable lifestyle instead of a hideous struggle.

What You Need to Know About Buying Grass Fed Beef

Paleo Diet:

More consumers are now questioning about the origin of the foods they're consuming. As the public becomes more aware about the special feed given to the beef they are buying, the old fashioned grass fed beef is becoming more popular. The American Grassfed Association standards say that cattle should be fed only with their mother's milk and grass.

What You Need to Know About Buying Grass Fed Beef

When buying, look for "grass-finished" or "grass-fed" on the package. However, they are not easily available in big meat shops and most grocery stores in the United States. Usually, beef that has been grass-fed is produced by small farms and are directly offering their products to the consumers. A good place to start your search will be your local farmer's market. Due to high demand of grass fed beef, the price is quite inflated. To save money, buy it in wholesale price - box of assorted cuts, a big share of the animal or the whole animal itself and divide it with like-minded friends.

Sometimes, you can also find it in specialty meat and natural-foods markets. If you are in Alabama, you have Boutwell Farms that produces pastured pork and grass fed beef. Their products are revealed to have high amounts of DHA, CLA, Omega 3, vitamins and minerals. Restaurants operating in Georgia, Alabama and North Florida areas are clinging on their products. You can also opt for Happy Chappy Ranch, another known grass fed beef producer in the state.In Arizona, there is Date Creek Ranch. This is one of the oldest farms that offer directly to the consumers. They have strict adherence to feeding the cattle with grass.

Another source is the 14,000-acre Double Check Ranch. The ranch produces high-grade grass-fed meat. In Mississippi, Blackwater Farms is definitely a well-known name when it comes to producing grass fed cows. It is relatively a small farm but is capable of producing A-Grade grass fed beef. It also produces pastured turkey and chicken and grass fed lamb. Another top producer in Mississippi is Gloryland Farms. The farm also supplies pastured chicken turkey, pork, chevron, and real free-range brown eggs. Virginians can also take pleasure in steady source of grass fed beef. On top of the list is the Autumn Grove Farm. In the 90-acre farm, cattle are raised naturally. There is also Briarmead Farm. Still a new player in this area, it has produced a steady supply of naturally fed beef. There are still other farms that are committed in raising and harvesting cattle the right way.

To fasten your search, you always have the internet for more information. Websites including eatwild.com, localharvest.org, eatwellguide.org and americangrassfed.org provide helpful directories for you to locate grass fed beef in your area. If you can't find it locally, then opt for mail-order or online stores. You may try any of the following: Hardwick Beef, Lasater Grasslands Beef, La Cense Beef, Mercola, or Tallgrass Beef. A growing number of people now are going natural in terms of beef consumption. With many more farms offering grass fed beef and more consumers becoming interested, the price is going down and it is becoming more available to consumers across the US.
