Our goal as  Health Coaches  is to always give great value to our clients…I believe that is what separates us from others in our field. We want each of our clients to achieve optimal health. We are a RESOURCE AND GUIDE to their health journey and success. Ralph Waldo Emerson says, “The first WEALTH is HEALTH!” How BIG is that statement? As we’ve discussed before, health is the foundation of everything that is important to us…and with out it we really don’t have anything.  How does that statement resonate with you in the big picture?  How is your health?  Are you making good choices daily?  Are you eating six smaller, well balanced meals everyday…balanced with good carbs, protein and healthy fats? Are you drinking half your body weight in ounces of good water everyday and getting at least 7 hours of good sleep? Do you do some kind of strength training at least 3 days a week and getting in some cardio work?  My Question is, where are you…are you thriving or just surviving? The way we treat ourselves is the key to living a long healthy and productive life or possibly a life that is full of  ’WHAT-IFS?’  Our mission statement at Ponderosa Valley Wellness is “Empowering You to Live Healthy!”

I want you to understand that individual health is the CORNERSTONE of life. Yes, you can have poor health and achieve many things…but wouldn’t you like the vitality, focus and energy to live each day to its fullest?

Health is more than physical health…it is a union of mind, body and spirit a complete holistic approach to our physical and mental well-being.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17, “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

Another part to our story…is our love for children.  We are on a mission to help feed malnourished children in this courntry and around the world and end mal-nutrition around the world.  Our hunter gathers ancestors ate whole natural foods.  There is a shortage of vital nutrients today in our diets because of processed foods, green harvest and soil depletion.  I stated last week, our food has failed.  The tools the body needs for optimal health and healing is found in fresh vine-ripened, nutrient dense fruits and vegetables, phytonutrients and glyconutrients, placed there from the plants the last 24-48 hours on the vine.

 
 
Watch the short videos, one discussing a new product being called “the discovery of the century,” that will not only help us individually achieve a higher state of health but nourish a malnourished child at the same time.  Did you know that a child dies from malnutrition every 6 seconds?  Five million children die every year from this horrible situation.

Would you consider helping yourself and at the same time be helping a child in need?

According to Angel Rafael Gabet, PhD the quality of our nutrition and the quality of our lifestyle depend greatly upon the quality of the food we consume.  Cellular health is dependent on different factors; one is the quality of food our cells receive. Macronutrients  are used to build and repair tissues. Then they regulate body processes and are converted to and used as energy.  Our cells must have the vital nutrients missing in today’s processed foods.  Receiving these vital necessary and essential nutrients give our cells the ability to repair, defend and protect them.  Food also gives the cells and body energy for breathing, heart beats, maintenance of bone, muscle mass and movement. Every body function we have depends on the nutrients we provide  it.  The issue is making a decision to stay as much away from processed macronutrients as you can; when food is processed it loses almost all of its nutritional value.

Amounts:

• Protein 25%
• Carbohydrates 50%
• Fats 25% (no more than 7% saturated)
• Serving size on a 9” plate

Carbohydrates: Full of Energy…

The main function is to provide energy for the body.  Carbohydrates are important for proper brain and nervous system function.  Red blood cells use the glucose from carbohydrates to produce energy for the body.  Carbohydrates are also crucial to immune system function.  Natural carbohydrates from plants have a critical role in maintaining health and a strong immune system.

Protein:  The main function of protein is to produce body mass…without it we could not live.  Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are building blocks for the human body.  In fact, our blood protein is albumin and it contains 592 amino acids; we are a combination of 20 different amino acids and 10 of them are essential for humans.  This means the amino acids are not synthesized by the human body and should be added to our diet daily.

Animal foods contain large sources of protein.

Meats / Fish / Eggs / Milk /Vegetables/dried fruits / nuts / soy / soy milk / tofu / cereal in the form of wheat, rice, oats, grains and beans.

Protein Functions:

Structural – Make up cellular membranes

Enzymes – Break down molecules

Hormonal – the regulating hormone produces insulin

Good Fats (Lipids):  Lipids mainly supply and store energy we use in our body…they help in dissolving fat.  They are also necessary to synthesize hormones and add padding around our organs.   Fatty acids provide large amounts of fuel.

Types of fatty acids:

Saturated – Consumption of saturated fats is considered a risk factor for disease and raises bad cholesterol levels (LDL) clogging arteries.  These fats are primarily from animal sources.

Unsaturated – Unsaturated fats raise the good cholesterol (HDL) by moving the bad cholesterol to the liver to be broken down and removed  from the body.

Monounsaturated – found in a variety of foods and improve your blood cholesterol levels and may also impact insulin levels and blood sugars.

Polyunsaturated – found in plant based food and oils.  They reduce cholesterol levels and can help in the prevention of Type 2 diabetes.  (e.g. Omega 3 fatty acids)

Starches (carbohydrates)  are a great slow burning fuel; they should take up about 25% of your plate at meals and your portion size should be about the size of a tennis ball.  Starches contain B vitamins, calcium, potassium, and phosphorous.  In their natural state they are low-glycemic and critical components of health.  These healthy carbohydrates are rich in nutrients and burn at a slower rate which give you longer lasting energy and help keep you from being hungry.

On the other hand, high glycemic processed and refined starches will place your body into a fat storage mode because it raises your insulin levels.  This is known as the glucagon mechanism because the glucagon hormone produced in the liver selects to store what you’ve eaten for fat or burn as energy.

Lets lay it out for you…it goes back to what we have discussed earlier, the choices we make daily either promote or expose us and that is especially true when it comes to the selection of starches we eat as well as our portion size.  The absolute worst choices are the starches that are processed and promoted by the fast-food industry as well as the industries that process the foods.  Foods that are processed and pre-packaged have a much higher glycemic index which raises your insulin levels dramatically.  Fibrous foods lower the glycemic index because they are harder to digest.  An example is white potato is low in fiber thus high glycemic and sweet potato’s are high in fiber, low glycemic and harder to digest.

When you consume a high G food, it causes your blood sugar to rise above normal and this, in turn, causes your insulin to rise.  A rise in blood sugar has many negative effects.  These foods increase your appetite, contribute to mood swings, diabetes, and heart disease, and will increase stored fat by increasing triglyceride production.  Unhealthy starches (carbohydrates) are everywhere we look; they are convenient, inexpensive, readily available and tempting.  Junk food is easy, fast and often better tasting then a healthy alternative.  Junk food and poor choices are everywhere you look, the temptation is overwhelming. It is estimated that 1/3 of the adult population consumes calories that are high glycemic junk food.

There are a large amount of starches that fall into the high-glycemic category The smart thing is to stay away from those and stay more with the lower glycemic and more green carbohydrates.

Glycemic foods are rated as high, moderate, and low…below are some guidelines that can help:

• Low-G is          0 – 54

• Moderate-G     55 – 70

• High-G     71 and above

Here are some examples:

Low     GI < 50:

• Quinoa
• Muesli, natural
• Rye bread
• Unrefined flour:
• Bread
• Pasta

• Buckwheat
• Pasta, whole grain
• Whole wheat bread (with bran)
• All-Bran cereal
• Sourdough bread

High GI > 50

• Oatmeal, from steel-cut oats
• Semolina (cream of wheat)
• Hamburger roll
• Couscous
• Cereals, refined
• Corn Flakes
• White bread, enriched
• Bagel, white
• Dinner roll, white
• Kaiser roll, white
• Crackers

Examples from Dr. Wayne Andersons book, Dr. A’s Habits of Health.

There are many options of Low and High G foods…

As always if you have any questions please contact us we’d love to hear from you.

What we really need is nutrition the way our body wants it.

Do you realize that the reason we crave food and eat more and more is that there are no nutrients left in most of our food today?  We just can’t eat enough to get what our body must have to function properly anymore.

Most nutritional solutions today are falling way short of what your body considers to be good nutrition.  I know, the label on all the most common vitamins and minerals touts that they have impressive nutrients inside that bottle, but do they?  My research tells me that what is in there is mostly rocks and petroleum…yes I said petroleum.  My research also tells me that we would be much better off if we did not supplement than use synthetic vitamins and minerals.

OnMay 1, 2012, you will be introduced to a product that is complete nutrition made from real food.  I have had the privilege of using it for just a few days and found that it is:

• Safe
• Easy to use
• Affordable
• Flexible and convenient

The Benefits Are Impressive:

• Helps maintain energy
• Boosts the immune system
• Supports brain function
• Helps protect the cardiovascular system
• Supports healthy digestion
• Supports cell-to-cell communication
• Helps with fat loss

This story of the century, one that you will hear more about soon, was 15 years in the making.  It needed to be affordable for all, be the most beneficial to the body, and be the solution to a global epidemic, malnutrition.  When you consume this for yourself you will automatically be giving it to a malnourished child somewhere in the world at no cost to you.  The goal is to link 5 million consumers to 5 million children. Because this technology is so badly needed by everyone on the planet, it will happen.

I will send you valuable information when you reply below with your email.

I promise to not spam you…you just must know about this.

In my opinion,  good health is all about choice.

The day-to-day choices that arise and the decisions we make, hundreds or thousands of times weekly, have to do with our personal health and perhaps the health of our family.

Health deserves to be one of our top priorities on our list of needs. Without our health we really don’t have anything.  It is the foundation of everything that is important!  “The man with good health has a thousand wishes; the man without health has but one wish!”.  Shouldn’t it be one of our most prized possessions?  Isn’t your health important for a productive life to have the ability to enjoy the day to day experiences and challenges that are presented to us daily in a variety of situations?  Whether it is work, family, hobbies or just free time for yourself…health gives you the options and ability to do things with family and friends, the enjoyment of spending time and having the energy and focus to enjoy your kids or grandkids and participate in their lives. 

Health is a collection or foundation of choice and behaviors that allow you to create that lifestyle…one of balance that is free of health challenges and chronic disease.  Health is a collection of several disciplines and balance within our lives. An example of optimal health would be the way we treat our cars.  Cars, like our bodies, are a high performance machine.  Optimal health gives us the same kind of performance as a tune-up on our car.  If we want the best performance we need to give our bodies the best care, nutritionally, physically, mentally,  spiritually and with adequate rest.

Let’s discuss Healthy Habits and a Wellness Lifestyle:

• Healthy Eating                            (Low-Glycemic)
• Supplementation                       (Real Food Technology)
• Water (drinking at least           (Drink at least 64oz.  ½ your body weight in oz)
• Healthy Weight and BMI         (Body Mass Index)
• Daily Exercise                             (Cardio / Stretching / Agility-(Flexibility /Strength training)
• Recuperative Sleep
• Relaxation / Stress Management
• Spiritual Health/Socially Active
• Fulfillment
• Healthy Environment
• Support System

The challenge  is to not get caught up in today’s lifestyle…instant gratification,  a hurry, hurry, hurry attitude, eating fast foods that have been processed, no time to chew the food completely, and swallow most of it whole.  Working until exhaustion, continue to take on more and more projects at work and home until you’re ready to explode, little or no restful sleep, more caffeine, more junk food and “NO-LIFE”!  Now, you go in for your yearly exam or get sick and they want more tests or want to load you up on drugs…Will the drugs help me or is it more serious and just something that is putting a band-aid over the real problem…is there something more serious going on?  So what, you say???  Well, who is really responsible for your health?  The food industry, your boss, your doctor or healthcare professional, maybe the drug companies and they would love that…

So who is ultimately responsible for your HEALTH?

YOU ARE!!!

You can choose to …Become PROACTIVE and ADAPT a WELLNESS LIFESTYLE or

You may have to live with the CONSEQUENCES!!! 

Finally optimal health is about controlling your life…it is being present in the moment when those choices we make are so relevant.  It isn’t rocket science.  Think about your high performance machine and what will keep it running at an optimal and peak performance.  Remember, it is never too late to start but it does take time to create that healthy body and lifestyle. Take it a day at a time every. The healthy choice you make promotes you positively and brings you closer to optimal health. Remember it is a journey, a journey that not only can save your life but will allow you to extend your vitality and  health another 20 to 30 years.  Much better then the alternatives…

With spring here and the summer months upon us, it is time to start thinking about lathering on the sunscreen to protect ourselves from the sun’s harmful rays. Or is it? If you are like me, you are fearful to
send your children outside to play without any sunscreen on during the summer months. However, there are physicians and researchers that now believe the dangers of the sun have been completely exaggerated. As I researched the topics of sunlight and sunscreen, a clear message kept reoccurring. WE NEED SUNLIGHT, and there is no scientific proof that sunscreens actually protect us from melanoma or basal cell carcinoma. Sunscreen can protect us from sunburn, but there are other options to protect us as well (please see above for tips).
Ninety percent of our vitamin D comes from exposure to sunlight. Vitamin D reduces the risk of certain cancers and other diseases. The mechanism is quite fascinating, as sunlight converts cholesterol in your body into the vitamin D. Other clinically proven benefits are as follows: improved mental performance and mood, a reduced risk of melanoma, reversals in the negative effects of bone diseases, including osteoporosis, relief from depression, enhanced pancreatic function that could increase insulin sensitivity and prevent diabetes, promotion of weight loss, more restful sleep, more energy, lower blood pressure, a reduction in high blood sugar levels, a lowering of bad cholesterol in blood, and a build-up of immunity. One research study of 4000 women found those with higher doses of sun exposure had 50% less risk for breast cancer versus those who had lower exposure levels. It is suggested that we get 15-30 minutes of sun exposure every other day, beginning with lower amounts early in the season to prevent burning.

A more disturbing side to my research on sunscreens is the risks they may pose to our health. My question is, do the benefits of sunscreen outweigh the risks? What we put on our skin to protect us from cancer may actually be causing more damage than good. One such ingredient, is Benzophenone (or derivatives Benzophenone-3 or Oxybenzone) which is found in many popular sunscreens including the Coppertone Water Babies which I had frequently used. It is a good protector against UVB and UVA rays, however, it is a powerful free radical generator activated by UV light. These free radicals are what can ultimately lead to melanoma and other skin cancers.

Other ingredients include the petrochemical version of PABA, which has been removed from most sunscreens. This is absorbed into the skin and can cause skin irritation. It is not known if it is absorbed into other organs as well. Chemicals such as TEA and DEA, Octinoxate, and Salicylates are suspected or known carcinogens and can even be readily absorbed into the blood stream. This is of particular concern for children who have less developed systems to eliminate these harmful chemicals. Paraben, which was discussed in our January newsletter, has been shown to mimic estrogen and can lead to diminished muscle mass, extra fat storage, and even breast cancer.

Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide have come to the forefront of current research. The July 2007 Consumer Reports rated the most effective sunscreens for protection against UVA and UVB light. It also ran an article on nano-particles of titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, indicating the lack of companies listing these nano-particles in their ingredients and questioning their safety. Consumer Reports concluded that there has not been enough research regarding the safety of these ingredients and, therefore, they should be avoided.

On the heels of the article by Consumer Reports, the Environmental Working Group performed their own research and, to their surprise, reached different conclusions. After reviewing 15 peer-reviewed studies on skin absorption of these nano-particles, nearly all showed no absorption through healthy skin. Therefore, they concluded zinc and titanium based formulations are among the safest, most effective sunscreens on the market. Further support for the use of nano-titanium is that it has been fully cleared as safe by the European and Australian cosmetic regulatory bodies.

The Environmental Working Group has a list on their website of the safest and most effective sunscreens for UVA/UVB protection. It is my opinion that the safest sunscreens contain the least amount of harmful chemicals, and, for now, I feel comfortable using nano-sized particles of zinc oxide or titanium dioxide in moderation. My plan for the summer is to allow my family to get healthy doses of sun exposure without sunscreen and applying the sunscreen of my choice, Badger Sunblock spf30, only when out for longer periods of time or during peak sun times to avoid sunburn.

In the China Study, Professor Denis Brukitt, of Trinity College, Dublin, asserted that dietary fiber is needed for good health even though fiber is not digested.  The purpose of fiber is to pull water from the body and into the intestines to keep things moving, acting like a brush.  It’s purpose is to sweep through the intestinal tract and clean out chemicals and toxins that collect in the colon and that might be carcinogenic. It is a known fact that without fiber things may become plugged up which can make us susceptible to diseases caused by constipation.

• Possible Diseases
• Large bowel cancer
• Diverticulosis
• Hemorrhoids
• Varicose veins

What is and where do we find fiber? 

Also called roughage, it is the indigestible portion of plant foods and it is exclusively found in plant-based foods.  There are two types of fiber:

• Soluble – fiber fermented by bacteria in the colon into gases and physiologically active absorbing water and becoming gelatinous.
• Insoluble – promotes movement of material through the digestive tract and changes little in form.

We are able to digest very little if any fiber.  Fiber also helps give us a sensation of fullness (satiety).  By eating a health rich diet in whole foods and consuming your fruits, grains and vegetables you will be receiving most of the fiber you need.  Fiber is very important to our health…this will also aid in lowering our risks of heart disease, diabetes and other diseases.

The amount of fiber consumed according to Dietitians is a the ratio of about 3 to 1 insoluble fiber over soluble and that most high fiber foods contain both kinds of fiber.

Daily fiber is necessary in normalizing bowel movements and can help in weight and softening stools making them easier to pass.  Fiber is also important key when it comes to bowel health and weight loss.

Studies show that dietary fiber can improve gastrointestinal health as well as overall health and can reduce the odds of disease.  In closing, there are so many factors when it comes to staying healthy, it boils down to a conscious awareness and being in the moment when you are making choices about the types and amounts of foods you are eating. 

Here are some links showing fiber rich foods.

This blog and information herein is the sole opinion of the authors.  No statement is to replace the care of a physician, nutritionist and no product claims to treat, cure, or prevent disease.

It is a well known fact that with age we begin to lose muscle mass (strength and bone density).  Research has shown that by engaging in an exercise program on a routine basis, you can increase your muscle mass and bone density as we age.  The benefits are exciting and can generate energy, flexibility and endurance.

Strength and resistance training with free weights, machines, elastic-bands, and even yoga is an important part of building strength and increasing bone density and mass to protect the bones.

As we age and bones begin losing calcium and weaken, strength training becomes an even more important factor in slowing or reversing declines that are brought on by age where bones will become brittle.  Strength training and staying engaged in an exercise program can slow and even reverse the aging process.  Strength training will also impact your day to day activities and make you look and feel better.  A weight bearing program also benefits your mobility, balance and flexibility decreasing your chances of falling and injury.  The reason strength training  promotes lean muscle mass is because muscle burns fat which can keep you in a state of constant fat burn after exercise.  Strength training helps your body to retain your calcium.  So with the increased bone density, muscle strength and balance you can extend your disability zone and longevity.

It is also important to understand different lifts, especially your major muscle (large muscle) groups. This will add to bone building and strength.  Using different strength and resistance exercises is great way to build balance.  Natural News states, “The more we exercise the bigger our muscles get and the same goes for our bones.  The bone also becomes stronger and denser when you regularly place demands upon it.  Weight lifting, including curls and bench presses, is a beneficial activity, as does dancing, stair-climbing and brisk walking. which promote (good) mechanical stress in the skeletal system, contributing to the placement of calcium in bones. Aerobic exercises such as biking, rowing and swimming do not strengthen the bones.”
 Twenty to thirty minutes at least 3 times per week should give you all the strength and bone density you need.  Different exercises and activities are going to increase your BMR (Basal Metabolic Rate), which is a measure of the amount of energy your body exerts when it is at rest.  The benefits are  your body, even in a resting state, is burning fat and rebuilding itself…. building bone density and strength even as we rest, which is increasing our metabolism.

Things to remember: 

• Most people reach their maximum muscle strength by age 25
• Muscle declines by 10% between the ages of 25 to 50
• You lose another 45% over the next 3 decades unless you stay engaged in exercise.

Resistance training can also benefit overall health: Reducing other symptoms…and help to improve our bio-markers of aging.

• Arthritis
• Osteoporosis
• Obesity
• Depression
• Diabetes
• Back Pain

Once again, the message here is to stay engaged; treat your body like a temple and it will take care of you.  And lastly, as we’ve stated in other blogs, ”It Is Never Too Late To Start!!!”

Think about it!

This blog and information herein is the sole opinion of the authors.  No statement is to replace the care of a physician, nutritionist and no product claims to treat, cure, or prevent disease.

In the book Miracle Sugars, Rita Eakins M.H. reports, that research over 15 years has shown that virtually every disease and disorder comes down to three things:  Deficiencies of vital nutrients, free radical damage caused by bad fats, chemicals, ultra-violet rays, and a malfunctioning immune system.  We live in a country of abundance so could the reason so many illnesses, especially immune and auto-immune related illnesses, are on the rise  because we have actually become nutrient deficient?

Well over the past 20 years or so a new nutrient has come to the forefront,  ”Glyconutrients”.  They are not vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, herbs, enzymes or homeopathic drugs.  They are carbohydrates  like amino acids and fatty acids which are building blocks of proteins and fats, monosaccharides (glyconutrients) are the building blocks of carbohydrates.  There are over 200 carbohydate monosaccharides found in nature.  Eight of these saccharides have been identified as biologically active.   Initially they were thought of only as energy sources, these eight monosaccharides go directly to our cell surfaces after being absorbed  in the intestines performing a crucial role in cell communication.  Because of our inadequate food sources today, we only get two of the eight necessary saccharides in our foods today.  Those two are glucose (simple sugars) and galactose (milk).  Others are processed out because of the effects of green harvest, soil depletion, chemical fertilizers and toxic pesticides (from the missing nutrients by Dr. Steve Nugent).

Glyconutrients come from and occur naturally in many plants that have been used medicinally in a number of cultures for centuries.  A great example of this is aloe which contains mannose (one of the eight saccharides).  Some of the foods that contain the saccharides needed come from the inner gel of the aloe vera plant,  fungi (mushrooms), plant saps, plant gums, seeds, fruits, vegetables and grains.  The problem is that we do not eat as our ancestors did.  Only the hunter-gathers ate enough of these types of foods to make a difference.  As you can see today, it is even more challenging to receive the proper nutrients.  Today, we simply are unable to eat properly to fulfill the needs and nutritional value that our bodies require to maintain proper cellular function.  Without our cells receiving the proper tools  at the cellular level, our cells, organ, systems and bodies are susceptible to attack and a compromised immune system.

Cellular damage is caused by bacteria, viruses, and toxins and can lead to sickness and disease.  A proper communicating immune system can help to defend, repair, and restore our cells.  All eight necessary glyconutrients are needed for proper cell structure and function.   There is no single plant that contains all eight glyconutrients.

The first glyconutrient complex derived from plants containing all eight saccharides or precursors for proper cellular function was discovered and became available in 1996 and is now available in over 20 countries.  No combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, or herbals can replace these necessary saccharides found in Ambrotose (Patented) , founded and distributed by Mannatech Corporation.  When doing your own research you will find all the validation by institutions and doctors,  MIT Institute,  Scripps Institute, La Jolla, Ca and many more do your own research.

Top quality nutrients are no longer a luxury; they have become a necessity in the 21st century.  The human body is in a constant struggle to stay healthy.  Poeple across the globe have come to the realization that they must now take greater control of their own health than ever before.  Will you?
