Let’s start with the fun stuff- http://alldayenergygreens.com/ are a powder you can purchase on line. I have been sampling it for awhile now, and have to say it is a convenient, fast way to get some anti-oxidant greens into your diet- especially if you don’t have a Vitamix blender! Now, I would reserve the greens for when you are in a hurry and pressed for time, or when traveling… the gold standard is always real food! But, that said, this is a good product to include in your nutritional repetoire!
For daily use, again, I strongly recommend a //secure.vitamix.com/Default.aspx?COUPON=06-007058 Vitamix to chew up your veggies and other foods for you, and making them so available to your body for maximum nutrition! On sale until Dec 2; with free shipping, this is the best deal you will find all year! And, you can throw in some Sll Day Energy Greens powder along with your real frozen or fresh fruits and veggies, spices and eggs and kefir and everything else to maximize your health!
The other thing I’ve really been having fun with and want to recommend to all of you in our PaleoJay’s Smoothie Cafe Tribe- Rings and Parallette bar training! If you are unfamiliar with these gymnastic tools, they really are a great way to enhance the bodyweight workouts that Perfectly Paleo Exercise consists of. Pushups on the rings are a totally different animal, far more challenging and more inclusive of the stabilizer muscles in the arms, shoulders, chest and back… as are Dips on the rings, chins and pullups on the rings, flies on the rings- I mean, you can do a LOT on the rings, and I am just scratching the surface! The real beauty of the rings is that they twist in your hands, and do not stress your joints unnaturally, which can happen in movements using a bar, or even hands set directly on the floor as in doing pushups. This is why I use a Perfect Pushup device when doing high rep pushups- it revolves with your hand, taking stress off of the shoulder joints- rings do the same thing, but for LOTS of exercises!
I’ll include here some photos and a video so you can see how both rings and parallette bars can add to your workouts:
Today, for instance, I did a complete Visualized Resistance training routine in the early morning, as I watched a streaming Netflix movie- (Centurian- highly recommended)!
Then, using my Perfect Pushup handles like a mini-parallette bar, I did L-sits and some other P-bar exercises at the end, and it was challenging and kind of fun too! A good way to test your growing strength and body awareness developed through your Perfectly Paleo exercise regimen…
My rings are hung from the rafters in my basement, and so when I workout down there, in the primitive domain of my old farmhouse cellar, I can turn myself upside down, and do all kinds of gymnastic things on the rings, and then go to my home made P-bars, which are higher off the ground than my Perfect Pushups handles, and try some more advanced tricks, since my legs are up higher and more maneuverable.
So, make yourself some P-bars, and hang a set of rings- they are cheap, VERY effective, and actually fun to use! A great addition to your Perfectly Paleo routine!!
Now, that’s the fun part of this podcast- let’s delve into the realm of Obama care…
I don’t care where you stand politically, you have to understand that Government Run health care is anything but healthy- and this means not only for you and your personal health, and that of your family, but for your fiscal health, and the fiscal health of our country!
The notion of Big Health Care itself is wrongheaded- it is the path we have been on for a long time, decades actually, and has resulted in the fattest, sickest, most disease ridden population since the time of the Black Plague- only this time, the sicknesses are caused by our own poor diets, poor exercise habits, and lack of sleep! AND, this is all exacerbated by the many unnecessary prescriptions of pharmaceutical drugs, all of which are loaded with side-effects, many side-effects consisting of things worse than the disease they are meant to prevent!
Don’t put your family’s health in the hands of any Giant Corporation like a big Medical Clinic unless they are in an auto accident, have a bullet wound, or some other major medical catastrophe! Modern medicine is great a fixing extreme injuries; it is terrible at building and maintaining health. They can only prescribe drugs that only mask the symptoms of disease, and allow the root cause to continue to grow worse!
Self- reliance is the only way in which to become, and stay healthy! YOU are responsible for what you eat- so eat in the way modern science and our ancestral knowledge are in complete agreement- eat a paleo type of diet! Ancestral, no processed foods, no grains and lowish carbs!
Lots of vegetables and high fat!! Good, saturated, natural FATS should be the foundation, the pillar of your diet and health!
Natural, God-made protein, in the form of wild game and fish, fermented raw dairy, and pastured animals!!
Move naturally in nature, walk, hike, do your visualized resistace, perfectly paleo types of exercises, swing on your new set of rings, balance on your P-bars…
Get plenty of sleep! Minimize stress, and celebrate with your TRIBE of family and neighbors and friends, connect even online with a tribe or two, like this one.
Do NOT, again, rely on anyone else, much less Big Government to make you healthy!
They have been wrong for over 50 years in their prescriptions, both for our food recommendations, and in their drug recommendations. Don’t wait another 50 years for them to admit they were wrong! Take charge of your own health- do what you already know in your heart, and through your intuition to be the right thing to do. And, if you actually do the research, you will know beyond a shadow of a doubt that all of the recent science supports the evolutionary dietary approach. ALL!
Just because your Doctor went to medical school decades ago, and still believes all of the stuff he was taught then that was wrong then, and doesn’t know about, and/or can’t admit to himself and you that what he’s been telling you for years is all WRONG NOW TOO- this does not give him the right to continue spouting the party line!
As Obama Care begins to take over, trust me- you do not want to be part of that system!
Bypass it, by becoming as healthy as you can! Say NO to pharmaceutical drugs- fake science like Flu shots- the Carb dominated My Plate created to sell grains- processed man-made fake foods!
Eat foods made by God, not man! And stay AWAY from ANY sort of Government sort of health plan, as much as you can. To paraphrase the great John Wesley:
Get as healthy as you can, and help others to get as healthy as they can, for as long as you can!
