Hazardous Substance #1:Sugar


p83
"It promotes aging, decreases your immunity, promotes weight gain, and increases your incidence of diseases like diabetes."


Time to start cutting down on the sugar again. The holidays are tough with so many sweets around...but now it is time to turn a new leaf.

Habit #5: Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements

p80
"God provides all the nutrients we need in natural foods. The problem is that we don't eat the amount and variety of whole foods necessary to meet all our nutritional needs. We also have corrupted our natural food sources with depleted soil, polluted water, and chemical agents like pesticides. Today it's important to take vitamins and minerals as an insurance policy. However, they do not take the place of healthy eating. New spark plugs won't make your car run better if your forget to put gasoline in your car. And vitamins without good food are little value."

Habit #4: Healthy Fats

p79
"For now, try to reduce the saturated(animal and dairy)fats as much as possible. The total fat in your diet should range between 15 and 30 percent. Stay on the lower end until you reach your ideal size. Olive oil is always a good choice for cooking and salads. Or try adding omega 3 fats to your diet by eating cold water fish like salmon and tuna at least two times per week. Walnuts and flaxseed are also very high in omega-3 fat."
