: Lifestyle Mistakes You Should Avoid

RuKiddingMe! · 2010-12-03T22:30:35-05:00

Dietary Mistakes You Should Avoid... ◦Don't drink tap water All tap water is poisonous. All tap water is loaded with chlorine and chlorine by-products. Chlorine scars your arteries and, along with hydrogenated oil and homogenized dairy products, causes heart disease. Most tap water also has fluoride, which is one of the most poisonous and disease causing agents you can put in your body. Do not drink or use tap water for any reason except for washing your floor. You need to drink water, and the water must be pure Water is instrumental not only in flushing and nourishing the body, but also in keeping it hydrated and pH balanced. I recommend drinking a minimum of six large glasses of water per day. I recommend a specific water purifier and specific bottled waters. Not all water filters or purifiers do an equally effective job. Some are much better than others. Not all bottled waters are equally pure and hydrating. Some are much better than others. ◦Do not drink canned or bottled juice ◦Drink no diet sodas Diet sodas have been called the "new crack" because they are so addicting. Diet sodas will actually make you gain weight as well as make you depressed. Because of the artificial sweeteners used, such as aspartame, they are also giving you a variety of medical symptoms. If you want a soda, ideally, get an organic soda from your health food store; or if you must indulge, drink a regular soda. If you were to stop drinking all diet sodas and replace them with regular soda, you would in fact lose weight. The idea that diet sodas have less calories, thus are good for weight control, is a lie. The exact opposite is true. Remember, all carbonated drinks block calcium absorption. ◦Eliminate aspartame and monosodium glutamate Aspartame goes by NutraSweet. Both Aspartame and MSG are classified as excitotoxins. There are three great books on this subject. Aspartame, Is it Safe?, was written by a medical doctor. Based on hundreds of case studies, the doctor concludes that aspartame is responsible for many distressing medical problems, ranging from headaches and memory loss to hyperactivity in children and seizure disorders. Next, the book Excitotoxins, The Taste That Kills, also written by a medical doctor, examines how monosodium glutamate, aspartame and similar substances cause harm to the brain and nervous system, and how these substances can cause Alzheimer's, Lou Gherig's disease, depression, MS, and more. Lastly, In Bad Taste, The MSG Complex, again written by a medical doctor, explains how MSG is a major cause of treatable and preventable illnesses such as headaches, asthma, epilepsy, heart irregularities, depression, and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. ◦Do not eat any artificial sweeteners Artificial sweeteners are man-made chemicals. They are poisons and should never be consumed. They cause all kinds of health problems. Use raw organic honey, organic raw evaporated sugarcane juice, or the herb stevia. All are excellent choices for sweeteners. Remember, science is not better than nature. ◦Do not eat anything that comes out of a microwave oven Throw your microwave away. I believe that when you microwave anything it becomes energetically toxic to the body. Eating microwave food on a regular basis (this includes food that is being reheated in the microwave) weakens your immune system and causes depression and anxiety. Parents who microwave baby formula are poisoning their children unknowingly. The baby formula itself is poison; by microwaving it, it becomes even more toxic. ◦Don't eat in fast food restaurants Read the book Fast Food Nation. After you have finished throwing up, be glad that you are hearing the truth now. Fast food is simply some of the most nutritionally deficient and chemically loaded "food" on the planet. If the definition of food was "fuel for the body that also encourages life," fast food could not longer be called food. It should be called "fast, good tasting poison", which is a more accurate description of what it is. Oh, and did I tell you that it's designed to increase your appetite, make you physically addicted, and purposely constructed to make you obese? If you eat 15 meals per week in a fast food restaurant, you have a 90 percent chance of getting cancer or heart disease. Avoid fast food at all costs. ◦Eat no high fructose corn syrup If you look at the ingredients of the product you are buying and you saw sugar as the number one ingredient, you may be concerned. In order to avoid this, food manufacturers use a variety of sweeteners such as sugar, dextrose, fructose, corn syrup solids, corn syrup, high-fructose, corn syrup, maltodextrin, and a variety of others. If you were to add up all the sugars, in most cases sugar would be the number one ingredient in most of these kinds of products. High fructose corn syrup is used primarily for two reasons. First, it is very inexpensive. Secondly, it makes you fatter than the other sweeteners that could be used. The food industry wants you to be fat. Fat people eat more food, thus increasing sales and profits for the food companies. The food industry has lobbied against the public campaign "eat less, exercise more" because they do not want people to be encouraged to eat less. Doing so would decrease sales and profits. Shocking, but true. ◦Do not eat homogenized and pasteurized dairy products All dairy products are not created equal. Today's milk, cheeses, and other dairy products are radically different in nutritional value and chemical composition than they were 50 years ago. American dairy products are also vastly different than dairy products in other countries. Have you ever noticed that butter from France tastes different from butter from America? Have you noticed that the same kind of cheese tastes different depending on what part of the country or world in which it was produced? There are vast differences in dairy products due to multiple factors. These differences mean that the dairy products affect the body in vastly different ways. Example: raw milk that has not been pasteurized or homogenized, that came from a cow that was organically raised, was free-roaming, grass fed, not given antibiotic or growth hormone injections, will affect the body much differently than milk coming from a genetically modified cow that has been given antibiotic and growth hormone injections, never allowed to roam, is fed chemically laced growth enhancing feed, and has been pasteurized and homogenized. The problem occurs when studies are conducted and researchers do not use raw organic milk. They use the chemically laced, pasteurized and homogenized milk. If they were to conduct the studies comparing organic raw milk versus the supermarket variety, we would see dramatically different results. The bottom line here is the standard supermarket variety of milk and dairy products are very unhealthy. Homogenization makes the dairy products scar the arteries in your body and is a leading cause of heart disease. Organic raw, unpasteurized, unhomogenized milk, cheese and dairy products are incredibly healthy. Remember, science is not better than nature. When man gets involved and changes things from its natural state to increase profits, the food no longer is "real"; it becomes a man-made look-alike imitation. ◦Do not consume hydrogenated oil This is classified as a trans-fat. Hydrogenated oils are man-made products. They are toxic poisons. More importantly, they attack the artery walls and cause heart disease. They also attack the liver, spleen, intestine, kidneys and gallbladder, causing the internal organs to operate much less efficiently. The bad news is that hydrogenated oil is in virtually every product you buy! The good news is that if you shop at a health food or whole food store, and if you read the labels, you can find many of the products you buy now without hydrogenated oil. This is a good example of how medical science says something is bad, and then later reverses their position. For years heart patients were told to stay away from butter because it was bad for your heart. Instead, they were told to use margarine. Unfortunately, most all margarines are 100 percent hydrogenated oil. Margarines are a man-made unnatural product that is deadly poison to the body. Now we hear from the same doctors and medical community that margarine is, in fact, much worse than butter. Stay away from hydrogenated oils and trans-fats at all costs. ◦If you can't eat it, don't put it on your skin Your skin is the largest organ in the body. Whatever you put on your skin goes into the body. Many of the things we put on our skin from antiperspirant moisturizing lotions, cosmetics, insect repellent, sunscreen and perfume are so poisonous that if you put it in your mouth you would die within minutes. I know for many of you this is unrealistic. Remember that I said that if you can't do something 100 percent, do the best you can. If you can't eliminate everything at least reduce the amount of poison you put on your skin. 46. Don't eat anything in a box, can, jar or package Wow! This is a tough one. If it comes in any massed produced packaging, that means it came from a mass production processing plant. If you have ever been in a mass production food processing facility, you would understand what I am talking about. Remember that there are over 15,000 chemicals that are routinely put into the food in the processing cycle that do not have to be listed on the label. Even if you read the ingredient list on the package, there is an excellent chance that the food itself has been produced with chemicals and chemicals have been added. So, virtually all food that you buy at the supermarket that comes in a package is loaded with dangerous chemicals. Secondly, the mass production processing dramatically changes the energetic structure of the food, as proven with the use of Kirlian photography. Massed produced food in packages is simply unhealthy. Please do not believe what the fancy packaging says. The food companies are only interested in profits and getting you to buy the food. They are allowed to lie, deceive, and mislead so that they can coerce you to buy their product. If you must buy something in a box, jar, can, or package, buy something that was produced by hand in a very small facility. Also look for the words "organic" and read the ingredient list. It still may not be great, but at least it's better than buying mass produced, non-organic products. Do not be deceived by the words "all natural", "fat free", "sugar free", "low in carbs", "light", "healthy", etc. The food industry has lobbied congress to allow these words to be put on virtually anything. They are meaningless, deceptive and, in my opinion, fraudulent. ◦Do not eat farm raised fish Companies produce farm raised fish to make a profit. Farm raised fish are given unnatural feed and can be highly toxic compared to their natural wild counterparts. Stay away from any fish that has been farm raised. ◦Do not eat pork Remember, you are what you eat. Pork is a highly toxic diseased food. A pig eats anything in its path, including its own feces. Whatever it eats turns to meat on its bones in a few hours. All pork products are laced with disease and viruses. It is toxic and unhealthy. The human body virtually goes into toxic shock by consuming pork. Massive amounts of blood and energy go to the stomach and intestines to help breakdown and digest this toxic material. Pork is never fully digested in the human body; however, the human digestive system works nonstop in overdrive for up to 18 hours attempting to neutralize and digest pork. If you didn't eat pork for 30 days and then had some, there is an excellent chance you would be violently ill. Eliminating pork, or at least reducing it dramatically, can have a profound impact on your health and sense of wellbeing. Try and see. ◦Do not eat shellfish More people are allergic to shellfish than any other food on the planet. More people get sick from eating shellfish than any other food. More people die from eating shellfish than any other food. Any fish that does not have scales and fins should be avoided. This includes clams, muscles, shrimp, lobster, crab, squid, eel, catfish, shark, etc. The fish must have scales and fins. Catfish, for example, has fins but no scales. It is interesting that this is one of the kosher dietary laws. Today, we know that fish with scales and fins do not absorb the toxins in the water as readily as sea creatures that do not have both scales and fins. I grew up in the Boston area. I loved my shellfish more than any other seafood. Occasionally, a algae in the water called the "Red Tide" would infest the local shores. When this occurred, warnings went out not to eat any shellfish, for doing so could cause sickness and death. However, you could eat the haddock, mackerel, or flounder. You see the fish that had scales and fins did not absorb the poisons into its edible flesh; however, shellfish or any fish that did not have both scales and fins would absorb the toxins and could cause sickness and death. All sea creatures that do not have scales and fins are loaded with toxins and should be avoided. ◦Do not eat white processed flour White processed flour is similar to white sugar. It comes from grain that has been chemically treated in the growing process, stripped of all its natural fiber and nutrients, and chemically bleached to make it a pretty white. White flour mixed with water makes paste. You use it to make paper mache. It turns hard as a rock. That's what happens when you eat it. It is an unnatural product that the body does not know how to digest. It has little nutritional value, no life force, and spikes your insulin and causes constipation. Use organic whole wheat flour that has been minimally processed, or buy organic wheat and grind it yourself. ◦Do not eat white processed sugar Sugarcane, when grown organically, pressed, and dried, creates pure, unprocessed living sugar. You can purchase this in health food stores. It is healthy and good for you. White table sugar, however, is grown with dangerous chemicals, processed, stripped of all its nutritional value and heated, destroying any living vitality that it had. White sugar is a product that has such powerful adverse affects on the body it could be classified as a drug. Real, unprocessed, raw, evaporated cane juice, which is real sugar, is good for you. White sugar is poison. The chemicals used in the growing of sugarcane are known to cause cancer in sea turtles. Those poisonous chemicals used in the growing still remain in the product you buy in the store. ◦Eat nothing that says "fat free" on the label Food companies want you to buy their products. Whatever the hot button is at the time will determine what their marketing people decide goes on the label. "Fat free" does not mean "healthy". When you see "fat free" on the label, be assured that the company is trying to deceive you, so don't buy it. Most fat free products are simply loaded with unbelievable amounts of sugar. ◦Eat nothing that says "sugar free" on the label It if says sugar free on the label there is a good chance the product is laced with artificial sweeteners. Don't buy it. ◦Eat nothing that says "low carbs" or "net carbs" on the label This is the current hot button. The biggest scam going now is the term "net carbs". Manufactures load up these products with chemicals and artificial sweeteners that they claim have negligible results on insulin levels, so they do not count these real carbohydrates in the net carb number. A product that s ys it has two net carbs could have as many as 40 grams of real carbohydrates. Do not buy these products, as you know that the manufacturers are simply trying to take advantage of the current fad to sell you their products. ◦Do not eat "food bars" Food bars are man-made products filled with chemicals to provide, first and foremost, good taste. They are highly processed and should be avoided. There are a few all-raw organic food bars. Check at your local health food store and read the ingredient list. ◦Do not eat diet or protein shakes Like food bars, these are produced by companies whose goal is to make them taste great using the cheapest ingredients possible. With rare exception they should be avoided at all costs. ◦Don't eat late It is best to stop eating at 7:00 PM. ◦Do not take vitamin supplements Many companies selling vitamins are only doing so to make money. There are many grades of individual vitamins. Most companies use the cheapest grades available. These inexpensive "vitamins" in many cases are chemically produced and are not natural. Most vitamin pills have vitamins and minerals in a proportion never found in nature. It is true that you are most assuredly deficient in vitamins and minerals. The best way to correct this deficiency is by juicing. The second best way is to take whole food supplements. These are not vitamin and mineral pills. Whole food supplements simply take organically produced vegetables and fruits and concentrate them into a convenient tablet that you can take. When you take a whole food supplement you are getting all the vitamins and minerals in the proportion that nature intended. You are also getting the enzymes and cofactors present in nature. It is interesting to note that many natural plants have up to 30 percent of their composition that defies scientific analysis. That simply means that when you take a whole food supplement not only are you getting vitamins, minerals, enzymes and cofactors in the precise proportion nature intended, you are also getting all of the things that science has not discovered yet. Again, I am forbidden to give you my recommendations here in this book. ◦Do not use corn oil Corn oil is a man-made product. If you took an olive you could squeeze it and you would have oil. But you can't squeeze corn and get oil. Remember, if it is man-made it, don't eat it.

Hey guys, I like this thread so I will lurk here a bit, can I?

This point is basically correct, but with few flaws.

1. Whole food supplements are usually bullcrap, they are expensive like hell and are basically worthless when compared to organic food. So, use organic food instead of pills.

2. It's simply expensive to eat only whole, organic food

3. Junk food sometimes just taste better, so use of vitamins and minerals is justified - you'll not be that 100% healthy, but at least you'll get something from this life.

4. There are vitamins and minerals that can't be found in organic food. Iodine is one of them, even if in organic food there is more iodine, it's still not enough. Another is vitamin D, sure, best way to get it is sunbathing, but it's impossible in winter and rarely possible during jobtime. Fixing deficiencies of iodine and vitamin D cost literally pennies. Do NOT use kelp as source of iodine, unless you want heavy metal pollution. Lugol's solution works best and is amazingly cheap.

I should write about every known vitamin and mineral, i.e. there are forms of vitamin E that will reduce your heart attack risk to almost 0, while others will harm you, but it's kinda pointless on this board.

So, my advice - stay as close to dr Ornish diet as possible. This diet has been scientifically proved to REVERSE cancer and heart disease. There are some supplements include in this diet, like omega 3 and so on. Just google it.

And the best part, dr Ornish diet is almost identical to diet of native Kenya runners.

ps. sorry for my English, it's not my 1st, nor even 2nd language.

What? You yourself indicate that this deficiency often occurs in the winter. Most people don't use sunscreen in the winter in the northern half of the US because most people in the northern half with 8-5 jobs are stuck inside or commuting when it's daylight. So, I don't see how you are trying to claim that sunscreen is responsible for this?

Good point, and here comes explanation.

Your body can store vitamin D up to few months. If you manage to get like 80 ng/ml through summer, you'll get maybe like 25 ng/ml after winter. Very low, but not fatal. But use sunscreen and you'll get maybe 40 ng/ml after summer.

Very useful post imho - I have been folloowing most all of these practices for years; however, you are not going to get much support on this board. Runners and athletes in general are some of the worst when it come to good health hygiene - they simply just don't care.

Didnt read the whole thing but I noticed the part that said if you didnt eat pork for 30 days then ate it you would become violently ill. I didn't eat any pork products for 4 years then started eating it again and I was completely fine.

Forgot one: " Stop living on Earth. The Earth is full of manmade products and chemicals that will kill you. It is a scientific fact, verified by a medical doctor, that if you live on Earth, you will die. The Earth is too small to sustain even the current number of humans, not to mention the billions more anticipated over the next century. Living on Earth will kill you, so get off of it!"

Steve-O and BAM say you should avoid lifestyle mistakes. Also, do not run over 3 miles as lactate can build up. Also, if you write a long diatribe on things you should avoid, your chances of living a long life decrease by 78% ... this was a scientific study conducted at Cornell.

Right - smoked, salted food is the best known way to get stomach cancer (maybe except radioactive fallout). This is why in Japan there is like 3 times higher prevalence of this cancer, while for example breast and prostate cancer prevalence is 3 times lower.

Just buy any kind of cheap vitamin D and eat like 2000 IU / day through winter, more if you have serious liver problems. In my country it's like 1-2 us$ for whole winter, so - it's possibly cheapest way to improve health. And trust me, vitamin D improve alot - deficiency of it is responsible for (among many other health problems) winter depression and flu. With high enough vitamin D level you will never get flu, or will get it with almost no symptoms.

I would say that if you are someone, like say a high school coach, like myself, that you should not get carried away when a female on your xc team runs well, and slap her on the ass.

I'm just saying.

Scientifically, like 85% of OP's post is correct (still 15% is crap, sometimes dangerous crap). Just learn to see difference between science and commercials, then sacrifice few years of your life to read every study about diet and vitamins.

And yes, doctor advices are very often just some kind of expensive commercials, usually they're more for ill than for good. Medicine today is not about health, it's ONLY about money. And healthy people doesn't generate any profit...
