In Chapter 1 you will find some general information about healthy diet and healthy lifestyle. The health food industry fooled us for decades with 'diet food products' that are actually loaded with sugar. Fortunately more doctors and researchers have discovered that those choices were anything but healthy. Dr. Steven Gundry, a renowned cardiologist, was among the first to create awareness about better food choices and he came up with a comprehensive Lectin-Free Diet Plan. You can find detailed information about Dr. Gundry's Diet Plan in Chapter 14.
In Chapter 2 you will find information about the five principles of a healthy diet according to Harvard Medical School. If you are looking for further diet choices beyond Dr. Gundry's Lectin-Free Diet Plan you will find info and links to a Diet Review of 39 popular nutrition and weight-loss plans. Further you will find information about the health benefits of Olive Oil, Green Tea, and more in this chapter.
Chapter 3 is all about supplements to close that nutritional gap and promote health. Harvard Medical School came up with a list of nutrients that work in pairs. You will find out why for example Vitamin D and calcium, sodium and potassium, zinc and copper, etc work well together. Further you'll find information about the benefits of taking Biotin supplements and what kind of dietary sources are good to get your biotin. Biotin is a B-vitamin that your body needs in order to play a crucial part in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Biotin benefits could affect your hair, skin and nails in positive ways.
Chapter 4 will explain why regular exercise is important to improve your mood, boost your ability to fend off infections, and lower your risk for heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and colon cancer. You will find out about the five best exercises you can do according to Harvard Medical School, and some tips for Home Exercise, HIIT, and benefits of an Elliptical Trainer.
In Chapter 5 you will get reminded how important your quality sleep is and that good sleep habits are crucial for your heart health as well as for your blood pressure. If you have sleep deprivation you will find a few natural techniques that can help you sleep without the aid of medical intervention.
Chapter 6 is all about managing your stress successfully. Stress is a permanent feature of our lives and it's taking a toll on our bodies. There are lots of strategies for managing stress but sometimes we need quick and practical steps such as Breathe Deeply which can be a very effective way to calm down or stay calm. Are you breathing the right way? You will learn a simple trick to find out how to shift into a deep breathing pattern. In addition, you will learn simple and effective ways and tips to reduce stress.
In Chapter 7 you will be reminded to see your doctor for a comprehensive checkup every year. If you are able to identify potential health problems early it will make it much easier to treat it. This is a very brief chapter with the main purpose to motivate you to go for regular health exams.
In Chapter 8 we'll discuss how important it is to make good choices around your career goals. When you do what you love you will be more successful. Your success depends largely on knowing your own strengths and weaknesses. Focus on the future, set ambitious goals and do what you love to achieve happiness in life. You can find your dream job. More people find their dream job than you might think. Your mindset is key when you begin to look for your dream job.
If you are uncertain about your own strengths and weaknesses take a look at all the different career tests, assessments and quizzes that might help you to gain focus and direction in your career search. I also recommend a specific book in this chapter which is very helpful to learn more about yourself, your skills, interests, talents, etc.
Chapter 9 will outline that the application of time management skills isn't just for the business world only. We all can benefit from good time management in our personal lives as well. Manage your time well, and you can feel in control of your life, rather than letting events control you. You will learn a few tips for improving time management skills, building on those that you already naturally have.
Chapter 10 will help you learn how to get rid of bad habits. Regardless of your particular habit the process of breaking it will be similar. Persistence and the right mindset are crucial to break your bad habits. This chapter will help you with instructions and guide you through the process of doing so. It may seem obvious but the first step in breaking a bad habit is developing a true and honest desire for and committing to changing your life. Figure out what works for you. Sometimes you will have to make a few attempts before you reach a true breakthrough.
In Chapter 11 you will learn how you can detox your body. I'll introduce to you Master Cleanse or formerly known as the Lemonade Diet. For some people the Master Cleanse might be controversial. I personally like Master Cleanse and it works well for me. I did my first Master Cleanse in May of 2011 and my most recent Master Cleanse was in October of 2022. Some people look at it as a tool for losing weight. However, in my opinion, they are missing the point of the Master Cleanse. I encourage you to read Chapter 11 to find out more about the health benefits of it. The Master Cleanse can be described as a simple, effective and inexpensive cleansing and healing program to improve your health and boost your overall well-being.
In Chapter 12 you will learn about how lemons are supporting our health. I love the smell and taste of fresh lemons and I enjoy fresh organic lemon juice. Lemons can boost your immune system as a medium-sized lemon contains about 40 grams of Vitamin C. In addition, Lemons are beneficial for your cardiovascular health, and research suggests that a chemical compound called oxalates may be beneficial for kidney stones.
Chapter 13 will explain why the Mediterranean "Longevity" Diet works well. Heart disease is still considered the #1 cause of death worldwide. Polyphenols have a massive power to boost energy, improve digestion, make your skin look healthier, and improve your metabolism. The Mediterranean Sea region is home to some of the healthiest, longest-lived people on Earth. Olive Oil is number #1 staple of the Mediterranean regions' diet and the very high polyphenol content in olive oil provides amazing health benefits.
In Chapter 14 you will learn about Dr. Gundry's Diet Food List and his comprehensive Lectin-Free Diet Plan. I read his book 'The Plant Paradox' many years ago and it changed my way of what I considered healthy foods after reading the book.
Find out why lectins (gluten is one of the most common lectins) are bad for you. Making some lifestyle changes and going lectin-free can support your overall health. This Chapter outlines in detail which foods to eat and which foods to avoid based on Dr. Gundry's Diet. You will learn why avocados and macadamia nuts can be amazing for your health and why you should stay away from cashews as they are full of lectins.
In Chapter 15 I offer you my personal review of the Hestan Cue Smart Cooking System. If you are a fan of new technology, appreciate new tech gadgets, have no idea how to cook any meals at all, but you are interested in improving your lifestyle and eating fresh and healthy meals, Hestan Cue might just be perfect for you. I purchased the Hestan Cue about 5 years ago and I consider it one of my best investments I ever made. I encourage you to read my review and find out for yourself if Hestan Cue might be right for you as well.
